Groundbreakers: the story of oilfield technology and the people who made it happen
Groundbreakers covers the technical journey in the effort to find and produce oil and gas. Packed with human drama, extraordinary innovation and oversized personalities, this is the first ever comprehensive account of how upstream technology developed. Unmatched for the sheer physical and intellectual bravado of its key players, this book relies on interviews with more than 125 technical leaders in the upstream sector and a review of literature and patents since the mid-19th century. In addition, the book features timelines for exploration, drilling, reservoir engineering and production engineering innovations. There are comprehensiveendnotes and references including an index of the key players.
