A unique collection of first-hand accounts which combine travel, adventure, science, humor, political intrigue and risk-taking with the thrill of identifying, negotiating and discovering significant deposits of oil and natural gas.
If the primary measure of a petroleum geologist's success is his ability to explore for and discover new deposits of oil and natural gas, then these men stand tall among their peers...
Based upon thirty-five years of international petroleum industry experience, Allen Hatley has collected and edited these classic first-hand accounts and personal recollections. These stories were written by a diverse group of explorationists whose individual persistence, imagination and daring resulted in some of the more significant new frontier oil and gas discoveries in the last 25 years. Indonesia, Yemen, the North sea, Philippines, Pakistan and the Sudan are only some of the places visited in this fascinating book.
Originally published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, and now republished by Centex Press, this is no text book. It is reminiscent of oral history. These stories combine travel to remote and sometimes dangerous places, adventure, science, humor, political intrigue and risk-taking with the thrill of identifying, negotiation and discovering significant deposits of oil and natural gas.
