Meg has been with North Sea Reporter since the launch of the publication early in 2009. She has had a long career writing about the upstream industry and the North Sea in particular. She started out on Petroleum Review at a time when the first discoveries were being made in the North Sea and the industry was only expected to last 10 years. She has contributed to a wide range of publications from Petroleum Times to the Financial Times and more recently as a contributing editor to Offshore Engineer. Meg was also part of the team which set up The Oilman in the 1970s, followed by a spell with Noroil and European Offshore Petroleum Newsletter, then joining the market intelligence company ODS Petrodata at its inception. Her next move, in 1988, was to FT Energy’s North Sea Letter, later bought by McGraw-Hill. The ex-North Sea Letter team set up North Sea Reporter. She is currently also a news researcher for SubseaIntel.
