Preface and Introduction of Iraq Petroleum Sector Chronicle – Predicaments Continue, Development Derailed
My seventh book, the sixth in the series of volumes of my main research and publishing project on the development of the Iraqi petroleum sector since 2000 is published today by Lambert Academic Publishing.
As was the case in the previous five volumes, the current book presents a very wide spectrum of different views, opinions and analyses on various topics pertaining to the petroleum sector and addition to an expanded data and statistical part relating to ten main issues.
The book addresses the dramatic events that engulfed the petroleum sector since June 2014, continued through 2015 and thus derailed the development of the national economy and the sector.
