A PLAY FOR OIL - TIM DALEY KARTONIERT (TB)

You hold in your hands the most original guide to understanding the oil and gas world - from
exploration and production to the related economics and geopolitics. Tim Daley has spent years
travelling the world and living as an expatriate in a quest to secure resources and meet
humanity's energy demands. After several decades in the hydrocarbon business  he was keen to
write a book about his experiences in an easily accessible language  enabling everyone to grasp
the technicalities involved in evaluating the resources that lie beneath our feet. If you want
to learn how hydrocarbons are discovered and produced  Tim's explanations have the added colour
of vivid descriptions of the sites discussed and allow you to meet some of the most important
characters in the industry  and to gain new insights into this global industry. In addition 
the depictions of key events and locations add an element of national politics and travelogue
feel. This book is intended for all members of the general public interested in how hydrocarbon
resources are discovered  providing a concise account of how oil geologists view the subsurface
and illustrated by the author's personal experiences in countries around the world. The book
will also be of interest to ex-oil industry workers  allow geologists to compare the author's
experiences to their own  and provide non-geologists essential insights into how the oil is
won. Written in an informal style  it makes for a relaxing yet informative reading experience.
