Managing director and founder of EnergyPoint Research in Houston, Texas.From 2002 to 2022, EnergyPoint Research operated by selling data collected through independent customer satisfaction surveys to oilfield service companies. Due to new regulations and laws that have complicated this process, we have ceased publishing and selling this data as of the end of 2022.Today, EnergyPoint and its founder, Doug Sheridan, are entirely self-funded. Moreover, neither EnergyPoint nor Sheridan have ever received payment in anynfirm from any entity within or related to the energy industry—or any other industry—to write or publish content of any kind on Linkedln or any other platform or media.As of 2023, EnergyPoint and Sheridan's mission is to provide insight, information and opinion about critical developments in the global energy sector. We believe there's a need to employ more critical thinking and realism is the energy sector.
