It charts the rise in oil revenues in the 1970s and early 1980s, and the subsequent economic and social failures of the region in the 1990s, leading to a decline in the fortunes of the oil industry and the possibility of a post-oil era. The differing fortunes of the oil industry are therefore charted against a background of historical, religious, economic and social issues and, more importantly, social unrest.
