Great,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Petroleum Industry: A Nontechnical Guide (Hardcover)
A great book for anyone that works in the industry in a supporting role. The book clearly explains the aspects of what it takes to find, develop, produce oil and gas.

from CHOICE reviews,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Petroleum Industry: A Nontechnical Guide (Hardcover)
"Conaway, a consultant, offers a very useful resource for the many people who are affected by some aspect of the petroleum industry and need information to vote, legislate, regulate, or simply understand this complicated and very significant business. The author is not only highly qualified but has the rare gift of being able to articulate complex processes in clear, simple English without being condescending. Topics from anticlines to workover units are illustrated and put into real-world context. Conaway is careful to use the actual working terminology of the oil field but includes explanations of odd terms like "fish" and "buff and puff." The coverage is encyclopedic, discussing everything from the structure of the Earth through all aspects of finding, recovering, transporting, refining, and marketing the product. The clear writing, plus numerous well-drawn illustrations, make this book a pleasure to read. Glossary. All levels." -- J. C. Comer, Northern Illinois University

excellent job,

This review is from: The Petroleum Industry: A Nontechnical Guide (Hardcover)
Conveys the big picture with enough well-explained technical detail to give you a sense for why. Includes the business implications of various key geological and technical points. The best overview of the petroleum industry that I've come across. I wish other industries had a book like this!
