Fundamentals of the Global Oil and Gas Industry, 2006

"Energy – how we find it, develop it and use it – will be one of the defining issues of the 21st century."

Dave O'Reilly, chairman and chief executive, Chevron

Accelerating demand for energy, constrained supplies of conventional hydrocarbons and the migration towards more unconventional sources, and increasingly complex geopolitics mean the energy industry is changing like never before.
In Fundamentals of the Global Oil and Gas Industry, 2006 Petroleum Economist's journalists and experienced industry commentators examine the issues that are challenging the industry. Its 130 pages cover everything from the rise of petro-nationalism to the challenge of corruption, from the role of women in the oilfield to reserves disclosure.

A superb collection of articles by leading industry executives from:

Opec, BP, Chevron, Shell, Total, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines, Booz Allen, Schlumberger, Accenture, Schlumberger, Amnesty International, Marine Consulting Services, Talisman Energy, Pew Center on Global Climate Change, ARPEL, Chatham House, Arthur D Little, CNPC, IPA, UNECE, Halliburton, Douglas-Westwood, Energyfiles, US Minerals Management Service, Energy Security Analysis, East of England Energy Group, Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, Oil Spill Response, Petrol, LogicaCMG, Choren Industries, SBM Offshore, the World Petroleum Council, and of course, Petroleum Economist.
