4.0 out of 5 stars Handy Pocket Reference To Most Used Terms, July 4, 2006

By	Jan Milo "Jan Milo" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a handy resource for many of the terms used in oil & gas deals. It is useful as a quick reference when talking details of a deal over the phone or out on the field. It's small size makes it easy to tuck into a hip or jacket pocket. If you own Mr. Orban's other book, "Money In The Ground", you'll find most terms listed there as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal booket, November 24, 2007

By	Thomas P. Gore (Fort Worth, TXUSA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like any and all industries today, a specialized language serves the oil and gas business. This booket is ideal for landowners, investors and anyone interested in exploration and development of hydrocarbon resources. This is a shortcut and a very handy one at that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Information already included in "Money in the Ground-Insider's Guide to Oil and Gas Deals", December 15, 2008

By	T. Nielsen (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon recommended this book as a companion purchase; however, this very small book is already included as a chapter in the larger "Money in the Ground-Insider's Guide to Oil and Gas Deals" book.

IMO, both books are overpriced for the information; however, they are easy-to-read.
