History
Originally called Hart Publications, the company was founded in 1973 by Don Hart in Denver, Colorado. Hart’s first publication was Rocky Mountain Petroleum Directory, which is still published today. The company’s first magazine was Rocky Mountain Oil World. In 1981, the monthly magazine Oil and Gas Investor was launched. After, Hart created three additional magazines, Northeast Oil World, Mid Continent Oil World, and Gulf Coast Oil World, all regionally circulated oilfield monthlies. Hart purchased Pacific Oil World, which was then combined with the other Oil World magazines into a single, US-only publication called Hart’s Oil World. Hart also bought Euroil, a European regional monthly, and Petroleum Engineer International, a global technology publication. The Hart’s Oil World magazines, Euroil and Petroleum Engineer combined in 1995 to become the present-day E&P magazine. In 1991, Phillips Publishing International Inc. acquired Hart Publications. In 1994, Hart’s corporate headquarters was moved to Houston. In 2000, Hart Publications was sold to Chemical Week Associates, a portfolio company of VS&A Communications Partners II LP. In 2004, the company was renamed Hart Energy Publishing LLLP through a management buyout and taken private, which it remains today. Hart purchased Rextag Strategies in 2010, a custom data, mapping and software company.
