Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling and Production
Skip some chapters and read the others.
Also, the Unwritten Laws of Engineering.
Two books that should help, depending on what exactly you want to do -
1: A Primer of Oilwell Drilling (This is a UTexas book that is super-expensive if you buy from the publisher, but there should be cheap used copies floating around).
2: Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling, and Production - This is also expensive from the publisher, but honestly feels more like a textbook on the petroleum industry (whereas the first one feels more like a big pamphlet).

I was in the same boat as you and purchased this book. It is great and I highly recommend a copy to reference throughout your career if you stick with Oil and Gas.
If you are in the Houston area you can borrow my copy for a couple months (I recommend taking notes as you read). PM me if interested.

It's a great book no matter where you're at on the O&G scale. There is a new version that goes into depth on newer technology and things, but for you go ahead and get the old version if there is a huge price difference. Look around you should be able to get a copy for $20 or less since that's what I paid for mine 5 years ago.
Nice, here are some more.
