Ce commentaire est de: Oil & Gas Production in Nontechnical Language (Hardcover)
If a picture is worth a thousand words this book is more robust than advertised. The myriad of pictures, drawings, charts, and graphs bring the rather technical topic of oil and gas production to life.
The book gives a valuable overview of the industry, and even though I am in a related industry (oil and gas pipelines) it provided me with new information in a conscise and easy to read format.
My hat is off to the authors for a fine job.

I work on Wall Street and deal with several people who invest in the oil & gas industry. I purchased this book hoping it would give me a working knowledge of the industry. It did just that! It spelled out everything from how oil is formed to how they locate it to drilling, getting it out of the ground and processing. I was so impressed with the book I actually went to the publishers website to see what other industries they had books on. There is currently is a list of 4 people in my office who are going to borrow this book... its that good. A+

This is a concise, expert explanation of how oil and gas are discovered and extracted today. Petroscience is a complicated business, but this book peers into the art and science of the industry and provides laymen with a basic understanding of all the steps involved in finding hydrocarbons and in getting them to market. Highly recommended!
