This book serves as an excellent all around introduction to the ground level basics of the oil and gas industry - particularly for novice investors. I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering investing in private or small oil and gas projects before investing. Note, that this book is geared around what I would call the production side of the business. It is also implicitly about smaller, private investments. If you are looking for a broader overview of the whole global industry and the dynamics therein and how the big boys operate, this may not be the book for you.Although the book seems pricey, given the typical minimum investment dollars required for such deals, this book is a bargain. Having said that, anyone seriously considering investing considerable sums of money should start with this book - but look into others that may be more specific given your needs. This book covers a lot of ground with many jewels of information. But only enough to get you started on any particular topic. If you are more familiar with O&G investing, much of the information presented may seem trite. I would bet however you would still learn a few tidbits you didn't know. This book is chock full of illustrations, charts and footnotes. It has plenty of resources - websites, recommended readings, bookstores, periodicals and most importantly, a good glossary. What I like about this book that is very easy to overlook it has numerous bits of wisdom tucked in. Anyone who is reading this for investing should read it more than once and read it closely, highlight, dog-ear and mark it up. There are too many excellent recommendations that, if overlooked, you will be kicking yourself later (like hiring an independent geologist to review the prospect before investing).
