✦ Synopsis

The most basic book on the petroleum industry, the author explains the basics from exploration to refining using nontechnical language and easy-to-understand illustrations. This is designed to de-mystify the roles of geophysicists, reservoir engineers, etc., so that what they do makes sense to people new to the industry and without technical background. The book is organized in a natural chronology so that the reader gets an understanding of what precedes and what follows each step.
