Deepwater Petroleum Exploration & Production: A Nontechnical Guide

An excellent read if you want, or need, to know more about the beginnings and development of oil exploration offshore. I have only read about 30% of the book so far but my knowledge has certainly increased and it has given me a far greater understanding of oil exploration offshore.Congratulations to the authors for producing a book that is easy to understand even if the readers subject knowledge is limited.

I found it a little bite too price for the amount of information that are in it.I was expecting a little bite more details. Sometimes arguments are not explained at all.It s more for not professionist. for people that want to have a general overview without know too much.Anyway well written and with nice figures

Has more than I even anticipated. Thorough and precise. I have learnt a lot from this book especially the Basic geosciences and then came the deep water drilling part. I am so impress.

Very good introduction to Nontechnical people to understand the petroleum processes especially deep water petroleum. Detail enough yet not too overwhelm.

Strongly recommended... nice book with detailed explanation which is very helpful for nontechnical person like me to understand/ visualize. CBK

Talk about the elephant in the room.How can a book published in 2011 on Deepwater Petroelum not address the biggest bloody most expensive deepwatwer disaster in history of the year prior?

Very clear explanation of complex topics.

Everything and more

Goes into some depth without going too deep, into the world of offshore and subsea. It gives you an idea of all that needs to happen to exploit an offshore play. Writers are very knowledgeable.If you are in the industry, I recommend it.

To high level.

This is a brilliant book. Funny, engaging and informative. A great introduction to the history and development of the global offshore oil and gas industry.
