Here is the language of oil. Not complete by any means. That might require an entire section of a library. But this one book will really help you understand how the oil business works.

Handy Pocket Reference To Most Used Terms4
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.

Ideal booket5
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.

Information already included in "Money in the Ground-Insider's Guide to Oil and Gas Deals"3
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.
