Excerpt from The Petroleum Dictionary My Attention was first attracted to the language of the oil field in 1925 when at a Currie, Texas, school a third-grade pupil came to my desk to supply the personal data necessary for public-school records. Among the questions to be answered was "What is your father's occupation?" The answer was delivered with all the pride a nine-year-old could muster: "My father is a roughneck!" I was somewhat taken aback, but more shocks were in store for me. I was destined to teach not only the children of roughnecks, but also those of pumpers, roustabouts, toolies, swivel necks, and derrick monkeys. Childhood in a Methodist parsonage had not prepared me for life among people engaged in such unusual occupations. For a few months I was constantly astonished by the expressions that fell from the lips of near-infants who had never known any life or language but that of the oil field. But gradually I came to accept the language as a legitimate and apt means of expression. Its freshness, its peculiarities, and its vividness fascinate me to this day. It was not until early in 1947 that I considered undertaking a serious study of oil-field language. Thomas Pyles, then a member of the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, suggested to a graduate class in modern English that there was a definite need for technically-trained workers to record the language of various industries, including the petroleum industry. Despite the fact that my sex and my family responsibilities offered grave problems in doing field work, I felt I was peculiarly fitted to prepare a dictionary of oil-field terms. I had been interested (though I must admit unscientifically so) in the language since 1925. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The petroleum industry is unique: it is an industry without which modern civilization would collapse. Despite the advances in alternative energy, petroleum’s role is still central. Petroleum still drives economics, geopolitics, and sometimes war. The history of petroleum is, to some measure, the history of the modern world. This book represents a concise but complete one-volume reference on the history of the petroleum industry from pre-modern times to the present day, covering all aspects of business, technology, and geopolitics. The book also presents an analysis of the future of petroleum, and a highly useful set of statistical graphs. Anyone interested in the history, status, and outlook for petroleum will find this book a uniquely valuable first place to look. This new second edition incorporates all the revolutionary changes in the petroleum landscape since the first edition was published, including the boom in extraction of oil and gas from shale formations using techniques such as fracking and horizontal drilling. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Petroleum Industry contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on companies, people, events, technologies, countries, provinces, cities, and regions related to the history of the world’s petroleum industry. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the petroleum industry.

Excerpt from Principles of Oil and Gas Production To some the drilling of wells may seem the very heart of oil and gas production, but it is in fact merely an operation used also by the miner and the prospector for water, and is not worthy of the disproportionate attention it has received, as compared with that given to the very vital need of developing better methods of locating and extracting.

Excerpt from Petroleum: Its Production and Use The following pages have been reprinted from the Journal of the Society of Arts, London, with the omissions of such portions as would seem to be of little or no interest to American readers. The petroleum industry occupies a wide field in this country, and the amount of capital invested in it is very great, and while, therefore, all that was stated by Mr. Redwood in his lectures was admirable, and doubtless of much interest to his English hearers, very much, on the other hand, would prove to be of no material value to the American reader. We feel on the whole, however, that the subject matter of these lectures, with the exceptions stated, are worth preservation, and believe that all that is here given will be found to be of interest to readers here. It has been deemed better to change the matter from the lecture form in which it appeared in the columns of the Journal of the Society of Arts.
