Lesson 12 Introduction

Concepts to Consider for the Lesson

With this closing lesson for the course, we will take a slightly different tack. We do have readings from The Quest now that we are done with The Prize. However, for the most part, these readings are short sections sprinkled throughout the book, a smorgasbord of topics that are paramount as we enter the “current” phase of the oil industry. Rather than do a chapter-by-chapter approach, we will look at several themes integrated in the reading.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• Recall course concepts relating to Unconventional Applications and Climate Change

You are encouraged to engage in these discussions. The more we talk about these ideas and share our thoughts, the more we can learn from each other.
