During World War II, Mr. Cameron was commissioned in the British Army with the Royal Engineers and was involved in the defense of Britain's shores preparing sea-based oil fires to thwart Hitler's proposed invasion.
After the war, it was back to the Middle East, a two-year spell in Trinidad, Canada's Arctic and the North Sea in the unending quest for 'black gold.'
Mr. Cameron's story is truly fascinating, giving personal inside glimpses into this modern period of history as well as countless historical anecdotes recounting man's earliest quest for this vital substance and the part it played in world-wide exploration.

About the Author
Bryce Cameron was born in Rangoon, Burma on November 5, 1911. He attended Dollar Academy, Scotland, Auckland Grammar School, New Zealand and Birmingham University, England, graduating with First Class Honours BSc in Petroleum Engineering and Refining. He spent nearly twenty years working for Anglo Persian Oil Company- the forerunner of British Petroleum- exploring the oilfields of Iran, bringing Kuwait's production on-stream, and in the offshore fields of Trinidad. In the mid-1950s he was appointed General Manager of Lobitos Canada headquartered in Calgary. After successfully finding oil and gas in Alberta and Saskatchewan, he turned his attention to the Queen Elizabeth Islands in Canada's Arctic, an area he still believes has the potential to satisfy the petroleum needs of North America and Europe. Bryce returned to England in 1964 to head up the North Sea operations for Burmah Oil, a project terminated by the untimely sinking of the drilling barge, Ocean Prince. On his return to Calgary in 1968, Bryce ran an oil exploration and production consulting practice specializing in the Canadian Arctic and offshore matters. He is now retired and lives with his wife Doree in Victoria, British Columbia.
