Complete with helpful charts and diagrams, this book covers everything from production equipment and processes to theory, business operations, and strategies.

...good primer for non-industry stakeholders (e.g., bankers, private equity investors, lawyers, etc.)...
...author needs to tighten-up grammar/sentence structure and quit bashing lawyers, financiers, non-engineers, imho, since this is the target audience...

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!
Rated by buyers -
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.
