"Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling and Production" by Norman J. Hyne

This complete upstream guide provides an easy-to-understand explanation of complex topics with pictures, graphs and illustrations covering everything on how oil and gas is formed; how to find commercial quantities; how to drill, evaluate and complete a well; all the way through production and improved oil recovery.
