 An age-old institution and the modern world of online communities have come together in the Global Petroleum Club (GPC), launched last fall as a business community for leaders in the oil, gas and energy industries. 

The Petroleum Club originally formed over 100 years ago in the oil fields of Texas, with the idea to bring colleagues and competitors together on neutral ground, is being transformed.  Today, online communities are breaking down geographic barriers and the Global Petroleum Club (GPC) is changing the petroleum club concept to an online, international community. The GPC located at www.globalpetroleumclub.com has built an infrastructure to become home to the largest online community of global energy industry leaders.  The GPC currently has members from sixty-two nations, reflecting the international flavor of the Energy community. 

According to the club CEO, Donal Bailey, the idea to launch GPC is in keeping with the current trend to build online communities.  “We want to establish a place where people involved in the energy industry meet to exchange information, discuss ideas, seek business partners, and do deals”. 

Membership is currently open, but will be limited in the near future.  This is in keeping with the club concept and developing a community that will interact and get to know one another.  You can apply for membership by visiting the GPC website and completing a short application.

Members of Global Petroleum Club are sharing information and content to the GPC every day:  From breaking news, to commentary in the forums, to reports on energy security and discussions about energy producing countries.  Recently, the GPC team has added video upload capabilities for the GPC members and planning online conferences on topics requested by its members.

The GPC is backed by the Cyprus-based private equity fund, Forrest Equity Management (FEM).
