Joseph Hilyard's timely new book provides a broad perspective on the oil and gas industry, with primary attention to the United States. It takes the reader on a tour of the operations used to find and evaluate resources, and then to produce, store and deliver oil and gas. The book's main focus is primarily on the equipment and processes used in exploring new resources; evaluating promising formations; drilling wells; managing oil and gas production; converting oil and gas into products; and transporting oil and gas. Separate chapters address the evolution and current structure of the petroleum industry; oil and gas trading; and challenges likely to face the oil and gas industry in coming years.Three appendices define key industry terminology; suggest further reading on selected topics; and identify organizations that can provide more information.

I'm still taking the class that requires this textbook, so I'm only 10 chapters deep into this 15 chapter text. So far, every chapter has at least one grammar, spelling, or punctuation error, if not much more. While that does get annoying, Hilyard's book provides a clear and thorough introduction to the Oil & Gas industry without being overly technical. By the 2nd chapter, I was able to carry on conversations about the industry with my dad, who retired from the field close to 20 years ago.If the editing and proofreading were carried out more professionally, I would have rated this textbook 5 stars without hesitation.
Generally excellent. I would like to see more extensive coverage of Peak Oil, Shale Oil, Kerogen Oil, and the Olduvai Theory, and the implications of all these.
This book provides an easy to read first introduction to the business of oil and gas. A must for anyone who wants to be acquainted with this.
This book gave me wide vision about oil and gas industry
