Reviews for The Technical and Legal Guide to the UK Oil and Gas Industry
"Whilst there have been many books written on technical matters relating to this industry, I believe this is the first book that addresses both legal and technical concerns and as such, provides a unique perspective to the future success of our truly magnificent industry."
Malcolm Webb, Chief Executive Oil & Gas UK
"I have no hesitation in recommending what I believe is a tremendous piece of work. Moreover it fills a big gap in the offshore industry's reference library. It is a must for companies, civil servants, universities and other establishments."
Jeremy Cresswell, Editor, Energy, Press & Journal
"A successful future for the UKCS demands an even closer working between technical, commercial and legal disciplines - this book provides and excellent integrated, in depth, reference to support this objective."
Simon Toole, Director, Licensing, Exploration, DBERR (formerly DTI)
"I suspect this has to be the most comprehensive guide to the oil and gas industry ever undertaken. During the recent Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, we were pleased to promote the Guide at the reception held in the Scottish Pavilion, and it was encouraging to see the level of interest it received."
Brian Nixon, Director of Energy, Scottish Enterprise
"As a first of its kind, this guide is a fantastic example of what can be achieved via joint industry collaboration - an approach that will be of paramount importance for the sustainability of the UK oil and gas industry. I recommend this book to any individual wanting a greater understanding of what drives our dynamic and innovative industry."
David Doig, Chief Executive, OPITO - The Oil and Gas Academy
"I don't think I've come across a better structured reference tool covering the UK oil and gas industry in my working life. As a company that works across a variety of disciplines within the industry, we will, I am sure, be dipping into the book on a regular basis. Congratulations are due to the project team that brought this inspired publication together."
James S Milne, Chairman and Managing Director, Balmoral Group
"Very often reference books such as this can be dry and difficult to digest, but this is certainly not the case with this volume. The difficult task of presenting legal and highly technical information that is easy to absorb has been admirably achieved here."
The Journal of Offshore Technology, January/February 2008
"In such a comprehensive work, the editors have done well to ensure logical sequencing of the various stages of development with the minimum of overlap between chapters."
Offshore Engineer, April 2008
