This book is full of clear and complete definitions of most of the terminology used in the Oil
business. It also have lots of illustrations. It is very hard not to find what you are looking for.
Excellent for people that intiates in the Oil business.

I'm an IT professional who works in the E&P industry and this book has been excellent addition to
library.

Very useful resource. Purchased for use during the Petroleum PE exam and I used it to answer at
least two questions for which I had no clue what the question was talking about before looking up
the terms in this dictionary. Kind of pricey, but a quality book with a vast amount of information.

For anyone working in oil and gas or oil and gas litigation this is a great reference. No more
Googling every abbreviation or anagram to find out what it means though I confess, not every term I
need to define is included, this was the best and most comprehensive dictionary I could find.

This dictionary far exceeded my expectations. I bought it as a reference book for the PE exam (I'm a
reservoir engineer) thinking it might be useful on an obscure question or two, but I ended up using it
extensively during my prep for the exam. It seems to contain everything! There's lots of handy
pictures and diagrams and items with multiple common names (as does happen in this industry) are
listed separately so you don't have to know which one the authors chose to list it under. There's also
some great historical information in the appendices (although not all up to date -like deepest well
drilled). I highly recommend this book for anyone working upstream! My geologist got ahold of it and
now he wants one too. My operations engineer wants a copy because it not only contains drilling
and operational terms, but geology as well. Great book!!
