It takes the reader on a tour of the operations used to find and evaluate resources, and then to produce, store and deliver oil and gas. The book's main focus is primarily on the equipment and processes used in exploring new resources; evaluating promising formations; drilling wells; managing oil and gas production; converting oil and gas into products; and transporting oil and gas. Separate chapters address the evolution and current structure of the petroleum industry; oil and gas trading; and challenges likely to face the oil and gas industry in coming years. Three appendices define key industry terminology; suggest further reading on selected topics; and identify organizations that can provide more information. Review: Excellent, Important, Accessible! - Just recently, I finished reading Joseph Hilyard's book, "The Oil & Gas Industry: A Nontechnical Guide". And I am happy to report that the book was both edifying and enjoyable. Mr. Hilyard sets about in this book to accomplish a noble, though challenging, objective: to provide an introduction to this tremendously complex, and important, industry in a manner that doesn't require a significant and deep technical background. And I think that he has accomplished this objective in fine fashion. Having read carefully through the entire book, from cover to cover, I would say that I am now in possession of an understanding of the industry far greater than the average layman. To put this in context, I am an MBA graduate, whose career thus far has focused primarily on Data Management in the Financial Services area. As we live now in greater Houston, a city whose economy is dominated by the Oil and Gas industry, I found Mr. Hilyard's book to be extremely useful. The book manages to cover a very wide variety of subjects with respect to the industry, ranging from the fundamentals of Oil and Gas discovery, exploration, and development, to product development, distribution, marketing, industry structure, and finally to emerging challenges that the industry must come to address. Mr. Hilyard succeeds admirably in covering these important matters in a manner that is both readable and informative. We applaud the author for his fine efforts in this regard and encourage others to avail themselves of the excellent learning opportunity provided by this important and well written book. God bless. Review: Excellent but needs expanding - Generally excellent. I would like to see more extensive coverage of Peak Oil, Shale Oil, Kerogen Oil, and the Olduvai Theory, and the implications of all these. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 30 Reviews | ## Images ![The Oil & Gas Industry: A Nontechnical Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DNrjwkW5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, Important, Accessible! *by T***N on April 16, 2018* Just recently, I finished reading Joseph Hilyard's book, "The Oil & Gas Industry: A Nontechnical Guide".

I would like to see more extensive coverage of Peak Oil, Shale Oil, Kerogen Oil, and the Olduvai Theory, and the implications of all these. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needed more attention from a Proofreader, but informative. *by E***N on July 9, 2013* I'm still taking the class that requires this textbook, so I'm only 10 chapters deep into this 15 chapter text. So far, every chapter has at least one grammar, spelling, or punctuation error, if not much more. While that does get annoying, Hilyard's book provides a clear and thorough introduction to the Oil & Gas industry without being overly technical. By the 2nd chapter, I was able to carry on conversations about the industry with my dad, who retired from the field close to 20 years ago. If the editing and proofreading were carried out more professionally, I would have rated this textbook 5 stars without hesitation. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Oil & Gas Industry: A Nontechnical Guide - The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2129881-the-oil-and-gas-industry-a-nontechnical-guide](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2129881-the-oil-and-gas-industry-a-nontechnical-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
