The Texan and Dutch Gas Douglass Stewart

In 1960 an enormous gas field has been found by Shell and Esso in the Netherlands, raising big problems for the Nation and the oil companies. What to do now? Esso sends the right man with a creative solution. A rare glimpse into the backroom negotiations of international conglomerates and governments. The Texan and Dutch Gas is a riveting historical narractive interspersed with thoughts and fears of those intimately involved with the most radical change in the European energy system since the industrial revolution.
