Abstract
THE fact that Prof. Uren has had to expand the first edition of this work, which he wrote fifteen years ago, into two volumes and approximately twice as many pages is yet another indication of the steadily accumulating mass of technical knowledge now available to the petroleum industry. The work is of necessity still academic in its bias, but, if thoroughly digested by students during their university course, must provide an excellent preliminary to practical experience, in the field. It may also prove useful as a book of reference for those who have already had practical experience in the industry and yet desire to consolidate their knowledge in terms of academic principles.
