highly recommended

Very informative book - a must have for the Petroleum industry

We purchased this book to supplement some internal training for our company. It is the most comprehensive book on the subject that I have found, and we did a lot of research. We will be using it for a pre-requisite to a geology course for all of our new employees.

Great book!

Excellent overview of the industry

This book is exactly what I was looking for. The only thing it could have done better is spend more detail on the different parts of a well and deep sea platforms. The pictures are good; sufficient for the visual learner. I would recommend this book as a class text for an introductory class on petroleum geology. It touches on everything, including how to read a well log. I strongly recommend buying this book over "The Petroleum Industry: A Non-Technical Guide" by Conway.

Easy as pie.

The nontechnical guide arrived in the mail in the speedy fashion typical of Amazon. I ripped into the packaging, withdrawing my hardbound book on Petroleum knowledge. I quickly flew threw the pages of the book, noting how the information was presented. Well organized according to subject, ie Geology, exploration, Drilling and Production, each one of these areas of the oil industry was explained in simple, easy to understand language, and would allow this book to be used as a class room text. There were many pictures, diagrams and drawn out explanations about the subject being explained. The material presented information in a specific area and in a manner that was easy to absorb, find again and use.

The book would allow me to become the oilman of my dreams, at least in my head. I have just finished reading the book, taking about a week or two to do so, and inclulded many margin comments in my book. This item was a good purchase, in that it provided the information I needed in a manner that I could use. There were many recommended readings in other publications. I would recommend this book for all readers, except the hardened oil man with years of experience. For him I am sure there is another source of information.

Petroleum geology, exploration, drilling and production

Excellent nontechnical explanation of these vital
areas in understanding the impending excess demand
over new discoveries.

Good introduction to oil and gas

This book is useful for anyone who would like to learn more about the world of oil and gas in non-technical language. It doesn't go into nearly enough detail, but I am biased, having worked in the oil and gas industry for a number of years. However, it does help greatly explain the amazing technology and science behind what drives our cars, homes, and the things we buy.
