Summary: Very interesting.
Review: This is a really good book. I'm a mechanical engineer and I design large centrifugal compressors for a living. Almost all of our compressors are used in the petroleum industry. Usually we don't care how they are used in the process but I wanted to ease my curiousity and learn a few things that my coworkers didn't know. This book did the trick. I wouldn't recommend it to any chemical engineers. It's probably too dumbed down for them. It was a good pace for me though since chemistry isn't exactly my cup of tea. It kept me interested in the subject and I really enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it to anyone who needs or wants to learn a little about the industry.

Summary: Good for basics, sometimes too simple
Review: This is a very good publication for anybody who wants to understand the basics of refining without too much chemistry or engineering details. Easy to understand, but sometime I would wish for a deeper discussion of the issues and problems. It is a MUST for nontechnical staff in refineries (eg. finance) and it gives enough background for good discussion with engineers.
