| Summary |
This book considers the problem of determining how many barrels of crude oil an oil-producing and exporting country should produce annually for export--along with several other important problems that decision-makers in the crude oil industry face--and discusses procedures for finding optimum solutions for them. It considers the important Objective Functions they need in making these critical decisions, and discusses procedures to find the best solutions.
