> Not because the CEO is gutting the company and giving himself raises.

Uh....thats' exactly what executives do. Equity gets issued to insider's (in the form of sweet options, warrants, etc), diluting the total shareholder base. That's why shareholders get pissed. Read this.

> Also public opinion, again, has absolutely zero (as it should be) effect on the CEO of a multi-billion dollar, major, international, oil companies, pay.

When did I say that? The public isn't outcrying...it's the shareholders. Did you even read the article? This is straight from the article:

Proxy adviser Glass Lewis said in a report that it remains “concerned by the disconnect between bonus payouts and financial performance and the bonus scheme structure more generally”. As a result, both firms recommended shareholders oppose the remuneration packages in a vote at Shell’s annual meeting in The Hague next week.

In fact, shareholders are becoming increasingly vocal over executive pay amid a time of a hard all in earnings and commodity prices.

There is no public movement! The bottom line is coming from very large shareholders.

Mark Cuban has been critical about CEO equity pay schemes and their allegiance to Wall Street and the chase for quarterly profits.

> There is a game played by CEOs with the corporate issuance of lottery tickets. Otherwise known as stock. Stock can be issued in any number of ways, shapes or forms. Warrants, options, restricted or unrestricted stock. No matter what you call it, every CEO hired, is asking for equity knowing that their only goal is to hit the jackpot and create a pool of wealth that puts them in the “fuck you” wealth category. Thats enough money to buy or rent just about anything you can think of and put you in position to never have to work again. You just live off the cash in the bank.

> The only possible way to change this is to put CEOs in the cash zone. Make companies generate 100pct of their compensation in cash that is 100pct expensable in the quarter paid. Thats not to say they cant own stock. Hell yes they can own stock. But make them buy it either on the open market, or as part of the programs that make stock available to every company employee, on the same terms. They are getting paid enough in cash and if they believe in their ability to run the company, they can put their money where their mouth is. Eliminate all the free lottery tickets. Make them buy stock, options, warrants, whatever, on the same terms as everyone else can.

This one is a pretty heavy book with 2 volumes, and goes into depth on Oil & Gas Regulations in the U.S. with a lot of history in it as well. It is written from the Austrian Economics perspective which makes its pretty unique. https://www.amazon.com/Oil-Gas-Government-Experience-Volumes/dp/0847681106

Yeah Oil 101 is definitely a little dry at times and much more focused solely on information.

Here is a link to King of Oil. It is much more of a story and just has some history of the industry and information about it mixed in throughout since it is necessary to telling the story.

I'm in finance too, so similarly biased - when I first started looking at this space I leaned pretty heavily on "X in Nontechnical Language". Oil & Gas Pipelines for example: https://www.amazon.com/Oil-Gas-Pipelines-Nontechnical-Language/dp/159370058X/. I'm sure you'll graduate to something more technical, but it's a good starting point

I think this is the best book on this topic - https://www.amazon.com/Deepwater-Petroleum-Exploration-Production-Nontechnical/dp/1593702531

Likely not the best source for an interview, but a fun read.

This book petroleum industry , a nontechnical guide is a really good resource. Unfortunately it is rather expensive. But if you can get a second hand copy of it, do so as it cover from start to finish.

this one

and this one

The first one is very economics based. The second one is a good story that vaguely has to do with economics.

This is the book that we used in my heat transfer course. There is very likely a cheaper copy out there or even a PDF online.

Depending on your design, chapters 5-7 should cover what you need.

Edit: just flipping through it, Appendix A has some properties of unused engine oil, which you could probably use as a proxy for mineral oil.
