Product Description
Review
"'A "must read" antidote to the gloom and doom conclusions of oil scarcity. Effectively undermines the validity of the theory of Peak Oil and comprehensively demolishes the arguments of its proponents.' Peter R. Odell, Professor Emeritus of International Energy"
The International Oil and Gas Newspaper
A timely contribution to debate on corporate oil as the world
fast-forwards into an uncertain energy future. With characteristic
iconoclasm, Clarke critically evaluates urgent challenges presented by
geopolitical transformations, explaining why smart companies must change
strategies, portfolio choice and tactics to survive. The old order based on
large players exercising unbridled power around the globe is under siege
from smaller, more nimble competitors while state oil companies worldwide
are redefining the rules of the global oil game, with resource nationalists
and ethnic militia redrawing the oil map to restrict entry and reserve
access for traditional players.

A nuanced account of global oil inter-relationships,

This review is from: Empires of Oil: Corporate Oil in Barbarian Worlds (Hardcover)
This book is a refreshing counterbalance to many apocalyptic accounts of 'oil/resource wars' and corporate malfeasance. Based on long experience with the petroleum industry and deep familiarity with Africa in particular, Clarke correctly conveys the complexity of the modern oil world. He correctly identifies the role of new actors, states and national oil companies, in contrast to the 'supermajors' often still wrongly thought to have a stranglehold on global oil. The book is thought-provoking for those trying to map out new world energy strategies, or trying to understand the evolving role of oil in the developing world in particular.
