Oil Game, The

Synopsis

A debate about oil depletion policy with leading figures in the oil business. The argument is structured around a hypothetical oil policy review by a new oil minister. Moderated by a barrister Marc Cran, the debate is conducted in front of an invited audience from the Open University. Aims to convince the audience that the future of the North Sea Oil province is as much dependent on politics and economics, on state intervention and business stratagems, as it is on the reserves of oil in the ground.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
