Plenty of Oil.
I believe this man. Get the word out. He is not a great writer. He is not even close to being a good writer. But he has integrity and was witness to rare, spectacular information.
Oil enough to spare
I agree with the reviewer from Arizona that the book itself drifts from subject to subject, is not very well written, reads like a diary, and is outdated and undocumented.BUT ... none of this is the point of this book.Lindsey's goal was simply to make the public aware of what he saw and experienced during construction of the Alaska Oil Pipeline.The book is a testimonial.Read the review of the person from Montana.I concur. There is as much oil in Alaska as Arabia
Although dated, having been written in the early 70's, the testimony of Rev. Lindsay is valuable.The author is a simple, but Godly man who only states what he saw, and came to the obvious conclusions.It is amazing how brainwashed people are that they revile anyone who speaks the truth.Those people who doubt Rev. Lindsay need to open their hearts and minds and investigate more on the matter.Rev. Lindsay, Chaplin on the Prudhoe Bay Pipeline, the largest construction project in history to that time, having executive status, was present at the discovery of an oil field below Gull Isand the size of the Prudhoe Bay pool.The gov't forced the oil companies to keep quiet or else they'd shut them down with over regulation.Rev. Lindsay saw the gusher come in and was there when the test results came in.We need to stop financing the Arab weapons progams against us and utilize our own abundant resources.The executive of the oil company at Gull Island told the pastor that there are many pools of oil like that at Prudhoe Bay under Alaska, but that the government won't let them be touched.Consistent with Lindsay's experience, I personally know of a deposit of oil in northwest Montana that is being concealed from the public.This is a good book for those investigating the international banking conspiracy. ...

Very brief look shows incomplete and/or out of date
I haven't seen the book myself, and I'm sure that it is very good in most areas.However, while discussing it with a colleague who has quoted some of the terms to me by email, my impression that it is probably a bitsimplistic, to someone experienced in oilfield operations, and possibly notquite up to date in all areas. ...

Decent history of the offshore oil&gas industry's beginnings
For anyone interested in the beginnings of the marine oil and gas industry, Offshore Pioneers provides a good general history.Since this book was commissioned by Brown & Root, you should expect a certain level of bias.Brown & Root's achievements are obviously highlighted while their defeats are understandably downplayed.This history includes the significant roles of other participants, though mainly in relation to Brown & Root, either as competitor, customer or co-venturer.Beginning with the first baby-steps in offshore exploration (long platforms connecting shore to site), this history lesson progresses to the innovation and ingenuity necessary to explore and exploit hydrocarbons from new environments, such as Lake Maracaibo, the Bay of Campeche, California (short lived program though it was) and the North Sea.As an offshore service analyst, I constantly seek out information on the industry, whether current or historical.Brown and Root did play a large role in the development of the offshore oil and gas industry, from constructing the first platforms out into the Gulf of Mexico, engineering massive North Sea structures, laying pipe in several environments, building construction barges and performing project management.My father had worked for the company for 25 years, and I had already developed an appreciation for their can-do attitude and willingness to work in any environment.If you're looking for a history of the industry's humble beginnings, this is a great book to read.However, Brown & Root ceased being a major force in the offshore energy industry during the 1980's, so don't expect to find any recent history in this work.

Giants of Offshore Oil Platforms
This is the history of Brown & Root's Marine Division.Drawing heavily from their knowledge of building warships during World War II, Brown & Root installed the first oil platform out of sight from land off the coast of Louisiana for the Kerr Magee Oil Company in 1947.This was Brown & Root's entry into the offshore construction market. They kept building and installing platforms in increasing depths of the Gulf of Mexico as well as venturing into offshore spots around the world, such as off the coast of Alaska and the most famous offshore location of the North Sea.The book details many of these large well known projects as well as Project Mohole, the cancelled program to drill into the Earth's core from an ocean drill ship. Brown & Root was a participant in this project. An interesting book for anyone who has worked in the offshore oil industry or has an interest in it. ... Read more
