Book excerpt: Both the performance and the potential of Libyan Oil warranted the need for this research into the energy policies of the current regime. The author surveys the historical and geological determinants of oil development. The impact of the central government and the Libyan National Oil Company on current exploration and development is studied closely providing insight into why some foreign companies have stayed in Libya and why some others have joined them.
