Obscurity to Success in the Oil Business by Michael S Johnson

Obscurity to Success in the Oil Business is Michael Johnson's inspiring, informative, and engrossing story of achieving the American Dream and, in the process, helping to secure America's energy future. The son of Greek immigrants, Michael carved a path to a stellar career in petroleum geology, armed with intelligence, ingenuity and unrelenting determination. In clear, illuminating detail he reveals how his contribution to the discovery of the giant Parshall oil field finally hinged on his embracing risk-but risk grounded firmly in state-of-the-art science. Obscurity to Success in the Oil Business is a tribute both to America's exceptional technological innovations and to its rich opportunities for the best and brightest of its risk-takers.
Petroleum geologist Michael S. Johnson contributed to the discovery of North Dakota's Parshall Field, encompassing more than six million acres. Since launching his consulting firm in 1963, his exploration efforts have focused on the Williston Basin. Michael's honors include Explorer of the Year awards from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists.
