“Finally we have a book that explains what is going on in today’s energy markets. Since the onset of the shale era, energy markets have experienced tumultuous change and volatility. All this disruption may have seemed random, but in reality the changes have followed a discernable pattern of supply growth, infrastructure development and price impact. In the Domino Effect, Braziel lays this pattern bare for all to see. If you want to understand energy markets, this book is required reading.”

“Rusty has applied his rigorous approach to market analysis to the newly developed unconventional shale boom in North America. His keen insights into the seemingly benign differences between conventional and unconventional developments highlight the significant and extraordinary factors that must be taken into consideration when evaluating market fundamentals. The conclusions reached are both informative and instructive for anyone in need of a greater understanding of the North American energy market.”

“Braziel has been dead right about energy markets. If you were paying attention to Rusty, nothing about today’s oil and gas prices would be a shock, or even much of a surprise. It all follows a completely rational, even predictable blueprint. In The Domino Effect, he explains how that works and why. In today’s markets, you’ve got to understand energy. This book lays it all out in a framework that makes basic, common sense, whether you are from the oil patch or Wall Street. Braziel’s the most indispensable energy read there is. I start my day with his bulletins and they suffuse all my thinking on the topic.”

“This book lays out how energy markets work in the real world. Braziel has lived these markets, and has successfully stitched together what has happened over the past five years to oil and gas production, infrastructure and prices. Then using the Domino Effect concept, he lays out what is likely to happen next. This is a must-read for anyone involved in energy markets.”
