Next month it will be 10 years since EnergyPoint Research published its first-ever survey results. The 2004 Wellsite Contractors Survey, now referred to as the Oilfield Services Survey, made quite a stir when it was released. Not only was it unique to the industry in its content, it was ground-breaking in concept as well: autonomously developed performance ratings of oil and gas industry suppliers as seen through the eyes of customers.
Today, EnergyPoint’s ratings are an increasingly important part of the industry’s understanding of how suppliers are doing in terms of satisfying their clients. The global oil and gas industry spends more than half a trillion dollars a year on oilfield products and services. Our mission is to provide market intelligence that impacts the success of suppliers and their customers.
For those interested in a walk down memory lane, here’s a link to the summary results report from our first-ever survey in 2004.
It’s certainly nostalgic for us to look back and see how far we’ve come in terms of providing ratings, insights and analyses into one of the world’s great industries. For years, top-ranked suppliers have proudly displayed the EnergyPoint Research Seal of Excellence™ as a recognized symbol of quality and performance in the oil and gas industry.
Now, to mark our 10-year anniversary, we have introduced a handsome new annual trophy for top-rated oil and gas industry suppliers – the EnergyPoint Research Customer Satisfaction Award™. A physical tribute to meritorious performance, the award is a strikingly sculpted, hand-polished solid aluminum trophy anodized with gold and silver finish.
We recently announced the award’s winners in the category of Total Satisfaction for 2013. They are: Ensco – Offshore Drillers; Helmerich & Payne – Land Drillers; Newpark Resources – Oilfield Services; Vallourec – Oilfield Products; and MarkWest Energy – Midstream Services. Congratulations to these companies for their outstanding achievement.
As we look to the future, we believe the oil and gas industry’s best days lie ahead. While challenges will always be plentiful, we are confident the great men and women that make up the oilfield, including those in the supplier sector, will continue to rise to the occasion, pushing the bounds of what can be achieved through hard work, ingenuity and professional commitment. EnergyPoint is proud to play its role in helping fostering that achievement.
Now, back to work.
