Download or read book The Promoting and Licensing of Petroleum Prospective Acreage written by Michael Bunter and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2002-01-17 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed work is based on more than ten years experience in conducting tenders for the licensing of petroleum prospective acreage on behalf of a number of sovereign governments in Europe, Africa and the former Soviet Union. It explains the processes of licensing from the points of view of the two main protagonists, the government bodies and the international oil companies. The book also gives due prominence to the interests of the host communities and to the environment, as well as to the neighbouring states and the other participants who may be affected by the licensing process. In the modern world petroleum licensing takes place in the full glare of attention from the press and from public opinion. This work breaks new ground in recommending ways in which government and the oil companies may devise best practice in licensing to serve the interest of all parties and also an ethical business environment.

Download or read book The Oil Finders written by Allen G. Hatley and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE OIL FINDERS is an exuberant book containing fascinating personal recollections & first hand accounts about risk & exploration, approaching the level of "oral history." These stories combine adventure, travel, personal & professional risk, political intrigue, humor & science. Indonesia, Sudan, western Canada, Philippines, & Pakistan are only some of the areas visited in THE OIL FINDERS. These were the places where THE OIL FINDERS took their biggest risks, & where they were the most successful in their search for important & new discoveries of crude oil & natural gas. These stories in THE OIL FINDERS were written by a diverse group of explorationists whose individual persistence, imagination & daring resulted in some of the more significant new frontier oil & gas discoveries in the last 25 years. THE OIL FINDERS is not a text book, although for those academics searching for examples of successful exploration programs, they should remember that the primary measure of a petroleum geologist's success is his ability to explore for & discover new deposits of oil & natural gas; the men relating these accounts stand out among their peers as examples of the real "success stories" in their chosen profession. Published by Centex Press, P.O. Box 510, Utopia, TX 78884, price $19.50, plus shipping & tax.

Download or read book Finding Oil written by Brian Frehner and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil has made fortunes, caused wars, and shaped nations. Accordingly, no one questions the idea that the quest for oil is a quest for power. The question we should ask, Finding Oil suggests, is what kind of power prospectors have wanted. This book revises oil?s early history by exploring the incredibly varied stories of the men who pitted themselves against nature to unleash the power of oil. Brian Frehner shows how, despite the towering presence of a figure like John D. Rockefeller as a quintessential ?oil man,? prospectors were a diverse lot who saw themselves, their interests, and their relationships with nature in profoundly different ways. He traces their various pursuits of power from 1859 to 1920 as a struggle for cultural, intellectual, and professional authority, over both nature and their peers. Here we see how some saw power as the work they did exploring and drilling into landscapes, while others saw it in the intellectual work of explaining how and where oil accumulated. Charting the intersection of human and natural history, their story traces the ever-evolving relationship between science and industry and reveals the unsuspected role geology played in shaping our understanding of the history of oil.
