New Backstage Pass Benefits

Early Access to Daily Blogs

As a Backstage Pass member, you’ll receive exclusive early access to our blogs. RBN is famous for our free daily blog — and for good reason. We strive to make it an insightful and engaging analysis of the most important topics in the energy industry. But wouldn’t it be great if you could receive and read the blog a day before everybody else? Well, now you can. Backstage Pass members will now have access to two blogs each business day: the current day’s free blog you’ve always gotten, plus the next day’s blog.

Blog Series Navigation

When there’s an important topic that can’t possibly fit into one blog, we make it a blog series. With our new series navigation feature — located at the top of any blog that is part of a series — you can easily jump to a specific topic within a blog series or start from the beginning and work up to the latest one. While everyone can see the series list, only our premium Backstage Pass subscribers will have full access to older blogs in these series groupings.

Map Search Tool

Backstage Pass subscribers can now search our RBN blogs specifically for oil, natural gas, NGL, refined products, and renewables pipeline maps. You may filter results by state, basin, or keyword. A list of maps matching your criteria will appear with access to a high-resolution image and link to the related blog.
