This edited volume discusses scientific and technological aspects
of the history of the oil and gas industry in national and
international contexts. The search for oil for industrial uses
began in the nineteenth century, the first drills made in
Azerbaijan and the United States. This intense search for a
substance to become one of the most important energy sources was,
many times, based on skill as well as luck, resulting in knowledge
and the development of prospecting and exploration technologies.
The demand for oil improved expertise in geological science, in
areas such as micropaleontology, stratigraphy or sedimentology and
informed different disciplines such as geophysics. These
contributions made possible not only the discovery of new oil
fields but also new applications and methods of exploration. Beyond
the scientific and technological aspects, an industry that grew to
such considerable size also impacted the political, economic,
social, cultural, environmental and diplomatic issues in history.
The book approaches these changes in different scales, countries,
areas, and perspectives. This edited book appeals to researchers,
student, practitioners in various fields from geology and
geophysics to history. It is also an important resource for
professionals in the oil and gas industry.
