Description
Oil and Gas explores the business and politics of this complex industry from a regional perspective. This book combines theory, practice and a range of international case studies to provide a comprehensive overview of energy management.
This textbook provides an essential introduction to modern oil politics, covering the industry's practices, history, and politics. The book's comprehensive scope and insightful analysis make it the best textbook I have encountered on the subject.' - Ryan Kennedy, University of Houston, USA 'This manuscript is packed with information, and shows an impressive command of the details of the industry - technical, economic and political. Comprehensive and easy to read, it could serve either as a student textbook or a reference work. There is no other book on the market quite like it.' - Peter Rutland, Wesleyan University, USA 'This invaluable resource for the academic and business reader provides a wide-ranging treatment of hydrocarbons and their economics and politics, from the past to the future. An enjoyable read that is abundant in detail, the book moves smoothly from industry basics to insightful treatments of energy issues on every continent.' - Adonis Yatchew, Editor-in-Chief, The Energy Journal and Professor, University of Toronto, Canada 'This is an excellent contribution to the limited existing literature in the area of politics and economics oil and gas. The book is an excellent teaching and learning instrument for students interested in international energy economics. The book is also a good starting point for young professionals wishing to acquire a broad knowledge of the history and the current situation of the oil and gas sector in the world. The author addresses well in her work the regional characteristics, challenges and differences for universal commodities such as oil and gas. I would personally recommend reading Energy Management: The Business of Oil and Gas, as it constitutes a good reference in understanding key issues and changes taking place in the global non-renewable energy sector.' - Elias L. Boukrami, Regent's University London, UK
