This book is a great reference tool for people in petroleum related fields who do not have technical training. If you are involved in oil and gas operations, sales, retail, etc., this book really helps you understand the terminology and the process. Everyone in my office uses it!

I am a non-chemist in a market analyst's position previously occupied by a Chemical Engineer. I never even so much as did "Mickey Mouse" chemistry at school, so my learning curve has been a pretty steep one. For someone to write a book like this is very unusual, as the refining industry is typically the preserve of the technical elite, and this book removes the mystique and even manages to deal with a difficult subject with an essence of humour! Thank you Bill - I'm trying to get hold of the rest of the saga - Petrochemicals in Non-Technical Language!
