Beschreibung

While famous for its liberal policy towards oil and gas production, both before and after the discovery of North Sea oil and gas, the period from 1957-1988 actually saw the UK respond to shifts in power from the major oil companies to the oil-producing states, many of them in OPEC, by building up its competency regarding oil matters.
