The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) says it has set out to broaden its appeal to younger people with the publication of a book that gives basic information on the oil industry.<\/p>\n

Entitled \u201cI Need to Know: An Introduction to the Oil Industry and OPEC\u201d, the oil cartel publication covers basic information about the oil industry, such as the a brief history of the industry, how much oil does the world need, why oil is important, the nature and composition of crude oil, exploration and production methods, and the upstream and downstream.<\/p>\n

The book, a copy of which has been obtained by the GNA in Accra, also includes a chapter on the origins and history of the OPEC.\u00a0 It is divided into four chapters, and its many features include a glossary of frequently used technical words and expressions.<\/p>\n

A statement issued on Friday by OPEC said although the book was aimed primarily at students and young readers, mature readers with no industry knowledge would also find it appealing and informative.<\/p>\n

It has a colourful, large-format prepared by the OPEC Secretariat and illustrated by Austrian artist Michael Haderer. It is dedicated to children and all young people around the world.<\/p>\n

The book is the culmination of more than a year\u2019s work, and marks OPEC\u2019s latest effort to inform young readers about the importance of the oil industry and to provide a better understanding of the Organization\u2019s role. It also forms part of OPEC\u2019s ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations of its founding in September 1960.<\/p>\n

OPEC Secretary General, Abdalla Salem El-Badri, in his foreword, says that the book is not \u201conly about an industry that is central to the way we live today \u2013 and to the creation of economic opportunities around the world \u2013 (but also) it addresses people who will become the business and political leaders of tomorrow,\u201d while hoping, at the same time, that\u00a0 the young people who read it will be able to find the oil industry as \u201ccompelling \u2026 as it has been for me and the many men and women who have worked in it for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement said the book is published in English but would be translated into the following languages of OPEC\u2019s Member Countries: Arabic, Farsi, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as German for its German-speaking readership.<\/p>\n

It will be distributed in OPEC\u2019s member countries, schools and international organizations.<\/p>\n

OPEC\u2019s 12 Member Countries are Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the Socialist People\u2019s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.<\/p>\n
