3.0 out of 5 stars
Good content, misleading title, June 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Valuing Oil and Gas Companies: A Guide to the Assessment and Evaluation of Assets, Performance and Prospects (Hardcover)
Antil's book is an excellent overview of the history of oil & gas markets, the activities of different types of players and some economic/financial issues. It also contains a reasonable summary of future predictions on the dynamics and trends that are likely to develop. It is by no means, however, a book that serves the purpose as described by its title. It is not written from a corporate finance/valuation perspective and it has little content on valuation methodologies and their appropriateness for different companies. It could really use a couple of in depth examples of valuing a major with segmenting the valuation of upstream, downstream oil as well as gas activities. I would definately recommend it to someone who has had very little industry knowledge, but don't expect to learn oil & gas company valuation.
