Erring on a different side of competent and interesting is David H. Breen's Alberta's Petroleum Industry and the Conservation Board, from, you guessed it, the University of Alberta Press.

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Conservation Board, created by the Alberta government in 1938, ensured that the province's petroleum resources were utilized in a manner that protected the long-term public interest.
