Williams & Meyers Manual of Oil and Gas Terms

Manual of Oil and Gas Terms is an easy-to-use desk reference that defines the words and phrases most useful to lawyers, landmen, accountants, investors in oil and gas properties, students and others involved in the industry. For example, a petroleum engineer might find the book helpful on the meaning of the "Unless" clause in an oil and gas lease; a landman might refer to the Manual to clarify the purpose and meaning of various lease clauses; a lawyer, accountant, or investor might use it to define financing terms and tax consequences. The Manual features:

•  Close to 6,000 precise definitions of legal, engineering, and tax terms (including acronyms) relating to the oil and gas industry, with definitions based--wherever possible--on actual cases;
•  A comprehensive survey of new terms and recent colloquialisms;
•  Annotations that include useful references to statutes, cases, books and law review articles;
•  Entries listed in alphabetical order to easily locate a desired term; and
•  Ample cross-references to the 8-volume treatise, Williams&Meyers, Oil and Gas Law.
