"The huge global investment in energy assets has never been higher. Mix in today's commodity price volatility and competition for dwindling resources and this is a crisis in confidence for the energy industry. To stave off this lack of confidence, today's energy leaders need to make the correct business decisions daily. They need accurate and timely information, but obtaining quality information is elusive. With this new title, decision-makers have the tools for obtaining quality information, and most importantly, for gaining competitive advantage. Using a cross-disciplinary set of tools, companies can find reliable information, stay ahead of that competitive curve and consistently make better decisions regarding international energy investments." "Both front-line information gatherers and executives assigned to oversight will find invaluable tools for data analysis, risk analysis, and systemic monitoring. In turn, these tools will allow leaders to put this information into action with confidence."--BOOK JACKET.
