Big Barrels takes aim at the perception that in Africa oil and gas can do no good. For decades, resource wealth in Sub-Saharan Africa has been synonymous with corruption and dysfunction. The reality is far more complex and generally more encouraging. In a series of eight case studies Big Barrels looks at what African nations are doing right. Employment and enterprise in Nigeria, good governance in Ghana, economic development in Tanzania, environmental stewardship in Gabon, and more - these are all elements of success in African nations' petroleum industries today. The positive trends in Africa's energy business, as well as its challenges, are presented here. Big Barrels lays out the facts on how oil and gas can be a force for good on the Mother Continent.

When Mike O'Neil's Aunt Idy dies leaving him her estate in Ireland, Mike and his teammate Beau look forward to a quiet Irish vacation of fishing and whiskey. So the two retired NFL football players jump on a jet and head for Brannock-A-Bend. The two rednecks have barely set foot on the Emerald Isle when their vacation goes off the rails. It turns out Aunt Idy was a closet moonshiner (with an excellent recipe!). Oh, and her property is haunted by the drunken ghost of a pirate moonshine smuggler. It gets worse. It turns out ALL of Brannock-A-Bend is involved in the underground moonshine economy... and Mayor O'Malley, who rules Brannock-A-Bend with an iron fist, doesn't appreciate the two Yanks trespassing on his territory. Before they know it, Beau and O'Neil are swept into the moonshining business and cutthroat local politics, all while trying to keep the alcoholic apparition under control. And maybe-if they can gain the trust of the locals, overthrow the Mayor, win the moonshine contest, and keep the sloshed specter sober-they might even survive it all!
