A guide to the assessment and evaluation of assets, performance and prospects

Nick Antill and Robert Arnott

 - An essential and practical guide for investors, analysers and corporate planners
 - The only book which shows how to actually value oil and gas companies
 - International in outlook

Market value is set by investor behaviour....but objective methods of valuation are vital for accurate predictions of market behaviour. What are the key issues facing the industry - and the main points the analyst needs to look for when interpreting oil industry accounts? Do the best prospects necessarily lie with the larger and better-financed companies? How best can an investment strategy be managed in the refining industry, with its conflicting pressures of environmental controls and inadequate returns?

This unique and authoritative book has the answers to these and many other questions, offering a series of benchmarks and performance indicators with which to evaluate oil company shares. An updated edition of a respected and established title, it remains the only comprehensive handbook of its kind available, and will be eagerly welcomed by corporate planners as well as investors and analysts.
