OpenOil Wiki Guides

Essentially a 'Wikipedia' for the global oil and gas industry, OpenOil's own series of country-level wiki guides cover eight countries and counting and are available in both English and selected local languages, including Arabic, Spanish, French and Kurdish. Written in non-technical language the aim is to provide non-experts with a one stop shop for the all important context needed to make sense of the global issues affecting the sector, such as the Resource Curse or the booming oil services industry, and how they are affecting individual producing countries. The guides also include profiles of the big industry players such as Exxon and Total, touching on both their global and local presence.

This is not the place to go for original research or data, but as a repository of all the information currently publicly available on the industry. Full sets of references allow you to follow the information back to its source. The site also contains links to external sources such as original contracts and oil and gas laws where available. The collaborative editing process used to create the guides also means that they can be constantly updated as the scenario shifts.
