Autorinformation
Fresh from his university training as a geologist, Sam Carmalt joined a major oil company at the height of the gasoline shortages of the 1970s. His goal was to help find more of the oil that society needs. But he discovered that his employer’s interest was somewhat different -- to make a good financial return. Since then, as an employee, with a major industry consultancy, and as an independent consultant Sam has investigated the interface between energy and the economy. As these relationships undergo significant changes, he provides important insights into how the oil needed for our economy is found and paid for.
