## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story of oil
*by M***Y on 23 July 2009*

I was very pleased with my purchase of this book. I wanted to learn more about where oil comes from, how it is processed and how a price is achieved. It thoroughly covered these things. I learned many new facts about oil (too numerous to go into). I do have a background in geology and chemistry though have not worked in these areas. This background knowledge was of enormous help in reading the book. However if you have no science background yet are determined to find out more about oil then don't be discouraged. Merely skip to the areas you are most interested in or use the book as an opportunity to learn a little organic chemistry (you won't need much beyond the basics of organic chemistry -easy- to understand what is being said). To finish, if you are interested in how the entire oil industry operates this book will educate you in a no nonsense factual way. Don't continue to make do with the dross written in the press about what is making oil prices move. Stop listening to people go on about the oil industry and prices as if they knew what they were on about. Be an educated voice that calmly and sensibly informs.ChaptersA brief history of oil, A crude assay, components of oil liquids, chemistry of oil, industry overview, exploration and production, refining, standards, finished products, petrochemicals, transporting oil, storage, seasonality, reserves, environmental regulations, new engine technologies (brief), Oil prices, forward oil markets -futures and swaps, forward oil markets - options, managing oil price risk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, easy reading, highly informative
*by J***F on 7 November 2014*

An excellent guide to the oil industry.I work in the corporate side of the industry and wanted to obtain a better understanding of some of the engineering and chemical elements to it. This book eloquently and succinctly outlines such facets of the industry in a manner that is easy for the relative lay reader to understand.It also provides a good historical narrative of the industry and gives insight into how the economics and pricing of oil works.I was also surpised at how reading this book does not feel like a factual chore. It's genuinely interesting and I have been able to apply some of the knowledge that I've obtained from it directly to my work.Highly recommended to anyone in the industry, studying or just interested in oil.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good introduction to the industry
*by M***L on 18 April 2012*

As an engineer, with good background knowledge of chemistry etc, I found that this book was a perfect introduction to a more in-depth understanding of the industry. Despite not being about the sexiest subject, I found it engaging and readable. My eyes glazed over a little bit towards the end, when it went into futures trading etc, but this is probably more down to this not being my area of interest, rather than a failing of the book. I would certainly recommend this book to a student or an engineer moving into the field (as I am).
