Good book, geology parts are just boring to me.

[Joe Frankie]

Well-organized work and easy to understand. It breaks up the subject in digestible pieces and can be read from front to back or in the areas you seeking to understand. Thomas Miesner does good work in this and other works he co-authors for the Pennwell series. I use this book as one, among a suite of others, to help new people and former military come up the curve fast in the oil and gas vertical.

[Chris Maguire]

You can tell this was written by a couple guys who know this industry well and not a committee of stuffed shirts. There's a little humor thrown in here and there, the details don't get too heavy and the book gives a good look at many aspects of pipelines from safety to operation and from construction to politics.

Great big picture introduction to midstream O&G. It is easy to read, has a lot of relevant pictures and illustrations for support, and let's you become more familiar with the terms/jargon used daily in midstream.

[Dewey Norton]
