Summary

This book, originally published in 1978 concentrates on the structure and growth of the North Sea oil industry in Scotland.

For each subject discussed future developments are discussed which remain as pertinent today as when the book was first published, particularly given the issues surrounding Scotland's economic in relation to possible Scottish independence.
