E&P service company personnel will find it particularly beneficial in understanding the roles played by their clients. Not only does it cover production fundamentals, but it backs up to give the necessary upstream background--geology, origins of oil and gas, and ownership and land rights--as well as surface operations and even production company strategy development.Oil & Gas Production in Nontechnical Language Oil wellsGas wellsPetroleum engineeringOil wells.Gas wells.Petroleum engineering.622/.338Raymond Martin S1861676Leffler William L598700MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956540503321Oil and Gas Production in Nontechnical Language4467835UNINA03866nam 22009014a 450 991110447410332120251116175635.01-134-42822-71-280-22680-397866102268010-203-48847-4978020348847810.4324/9780203488478 (CKB)1000000000250999(EBL)182455(OCoLC)437055325(SSID)ssj0000181385(PQKBManifestationID)11165662(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000181385(PQKBWorkID)10159514(PQKB)10225808(MiAaPQ)EBC182455(Au-PeEL)EBL182455(CaPaEBR)ebr10165310(CaONFJC)MIL22680(OCoLC)252729839(FlBoTFG)9780203488478(EXLCZ)99100000000025099920030912d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrInternational labor mobility unemployment and increasing returns to scale /Bharati Basu1st ed.London ;New York Routledge20041 online resource (200 p.)Routledge studies in the modern world economy ;46Description based upon print version of record.0-415-65525-0 0-415-29825-3 Includes bibliographical references (p.

The discussion also includes the issue of foreign workers' effects on unemployment levels - a salient issue in today's climate.With impressive clarityRoutledge studies in the modern world economy ;46.Labor mobilityUnemploymentForeign workersManpower policyForeign trade and employmentEconomies of scaleLabor mobilityEuropean Union countriesArbeidsmobiliteitgttWerkloosheidgttInternationalisatiegttEconomische modellengttLabor mobility.Unemployment.Foreign workers.Manpower policy.Foreign trade and employment.Economies of scale.Labor mobilityArbeidsmobiliteit.Werkloosheid.Internationalisatie.Economische modellen.331.12/791Basu Bharati1950-630321MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911104474103321International labor mobility38680UNINA02838nam 2200697Ia 450 991113827170332120251116190625.00-8166-9557-1(CKB)1000000000346752(EBL)310670(OCoLC)476095554(SSID)ssj0000096141(PQKBManifestationID)11515905(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000096141(PQKBWorkID)10076065(PQKB)10499373(MiAaPQ)EBC310670(OCoLC)191953328(MdBmJHUP)muse38774(Au-PeEL)EBL310670(CaPaEBR)ebr10151319(CaONFJC)MIL522646(EXLCZ)99100000000034675220041108d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe abolition of white democracy /Joel Olson1st ed.Minneapolis, Min. ;London University of Minnesota Pressc20041 online resource (xxix, 197 pages)Description based upon print version of record.0-8166-4278-8 0-8166-4277-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Introducing the white democracy -- A political theory of race -- The problem of the white citizen -- The peculiar dilemma of whiteness -- The failure of multiculturalism and color blindness -- The abolition-democracy.Joel Olson contends that, given the history of slavery and segregation in the United States, American citizenship is a form of racial privilege in which whites are equal to each other but superior to everyone else. To break this pattern, Olson suggests an "abolitionist-democratic" political theory that makes the fight against racial discrimination a prerequisite for expanding democratic participation.RacismPolitical aspectsUnited StatesRace discriminationPolitical aspectsUnited StatesDemocracyUnited StatesWhite peopleUnited StatesPolitics and governmentWhite peopleRace identityUnited StatesMulticulturalismUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPolitics and governmentRacismPolitical aspectsRace discriminationPolitical aspectsDemocracyWhite peoplePolitics and government.White peopleRace identityMulticulturalism323.173Olson Joel1967-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911138271703321UNINA
