Useful information for the nontechnical reader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is an excellent overview of the industry touching on many facets: history, geology, technology, chemistry and economics. Without burdening the reader with excessive technical jargon, it still manages to convey a wealth of information. I would also recommend "Our Industry: Petroleum" put out by BP in 1977. It is even more detailed in terms of all the aspects of exploring, drilling, transporting, refining, etc. Excellent color diagrams and charts.
Great Primer

If you are looking for a very basic, non-technical introduction to the oil and gas industry, this is it. It covers history, politics, chemistry and mechanics all in one book. Although I would like to know more about the chemical compositions, however this is a great book for general aspects of the industry.
