I am a complete newbie to Oil and Gas but wanted to start covering this sector as an equity researcher.
I was wondering what would be the best place to start to read if I specifically want to break into Oil & Gas ER.

DB's oil and gas primer is a good start, pm me if you need a copy.
Check out Morgan Downey's "Oil 101". The book basically spells out the up/mid/downstream sectors, and gives a pretty good history of the industry also. I really, really doubt that just reading a book is going to be enough to get you in though..
I don't know where you are in your life, but the energy ER groups like to hire petroleum engineers (or any engineer who's worked for an energy company), so if you're just starting your degree look into that. Otherwise, the sooner you can get hired with any kind of oil company (ideally an E&P) for some kind of role that exposes you to its fundamentals the better.
"Oil 101" is a good resource. I would also recommend "Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling and Production" if you want to learn how the O&G sector works, specially talking about E&Ps. You can get good overview of several industry themes if you have access to Woodmac research as well.
most likely need to have equities research + a petroleum geology background.. thats who i would hire.
any specific ER groups names?

Also a great blog that gives a lot of tutorials is rbnenergy. They come out with a daily article you can set up to have emailed to you. An example of the kind of tutorials they have is below. http://www.rbnenergy.com/the-bakken-buck-starts-here-crude-pricing-part…
