Book excerpt: The petroleum industry is unique: it is an industry without which modern civilization would collapse. Despite the advances in alternative energy, petroleum’s role is still central. Petroleum still drives economics, geopolitics, and sometimes war. The history of petroleum is, to some measure, the history of the modern world. This book represents a concise but complete one-volume reference on the history of the petroleum industry from pre-modern times to the present day, covering all aspects of business, technology, and geopolitics. The book also presents an analysis of the future of petroleum, and a highly useful set of statistical graphs. Anyone interested in the history, status, and outlook for petroleum will find this book a uniquely valuable first place to look. This new second edition incorporates all the revolutionary changes in the petroleum landscape since the first edition was published, including the boom in extraction of oil and gas from shale formations using techniques such as fracking and horizontal drilling. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Petroleum Industry contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on companies, people, events, technologies, countries, provinces, cities, and regions related to the history of the world’s petroleum industry. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the petroleum industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Petroleum Dictionary My Attention was first attracted to the language of the oil field in 1925 when at a Currie, Texas, school a third-grade pupil came to my desk to supply the personal data necessary for public-school records. Among the questions to be answered was "What is your father's occupation?" The answer was delivered with all the pride a nine-year-old could muster: "My father is a roughneck!" I was somewhat taken aback, but more shocks were in store for me. I was destined to teach not only the children of roughnecks, but also those of pumpers, roustabouts, toolies, swivel necks, and derrick monkeys. Childhood in a Methodist parsonage had not prepared me for life among people engaged in such unusual occupations. For a few months I was constantly astonished by the expressions that fell from the lips of near-infants who had never known any life or language but that of the oil field. But gradually I came to accept the language as a legitimate and apt means of expression. Its freshness, its peculiarities, and its vividness fascinate me to this day. It was not until early in 1947 that I considered undertaking a serious study of oil-field language. Thomas Pyles, then a member of the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, suggested to a graduate class in modern English that there was a definite need for technically-trained workers to record the language of various industries, including the petroleum industry. Despite the fact that my sex and my family responsibilities offered grave problems in doing field work, I felt I was peculiarly fitted to prepare a dictionary of oil-field terms. I had been interested (though I must admit unscientifically so) in the language since 1925. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
