Good read for Oil and Gas Industry

Hey everyone,

What are some of the good books to read about oil and gas industry, assuming I have no knowledge of oil and gas industry. I am looking to get a good grasp on oil and gas industry and was wondering if anyone would recommend any specific books?

Thanks.

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Andre's strong background makes him a very motivating mentor for candidates. He is intellectual and kind, and he used our time efficiently. His feedback was clear, honest and realistic, which I value a lot. He does not just tell people what they want to hear; he pushes them to succeed. He helped me structure my 7 stories and made the whole process much easier. Without Andre, I would not have gotten my 7 stories right. I will definitely work with him again, and I am looking forward to our next meeting.”

Investment Banking Why [Industry] Review

“Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire session. He took the time to understand the issues I was having, explained everything clearly, and helped me resolve them. What I really appreciated was that he went above and beyond what the session was originally booked for, offering additional advice and guidance on other areas that I hadn't even considered. He was patient, approachable, and clearly knows what he's talking about. I came away from the session with a much better understanding of everything and some really useful advice moving forward. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely be booking another session with him. Highly recommend!”

The Prize and its sequel The Quest, both by Daniel Yergin. Not a book, but the DB Oil and Gas Guide would probably be helpful.
