ABSTRACT
The Libyan Oil Industry (1980) gives a narrative and analysis of the economic consequences of the discovery and production of oil in Libya, from the searches for oil by the major oil companies to the establishment of Libya as one of the main exporters in the world. It examines the reasons behind this rapid rise, and concentrates on the roles of the Libyan Government and the oil companies, and the relations between them; the impact of Libyan oil and events in Libya on the petroleum markets of Europe and the world; and the response of the Libyan economy to the development of its oil industry.
