The objective sought to be achieved is simple: after engaging in a sagacious exploration of the highly complex realms of energy security, jurisprudence, and geopolitics/geo-economics, the vexatious and life-threatening issue of Oil Terrorism has been discussed. This cognitive initiative, by definition, objectively interconnects observed phenomena into an everyday understanding of terrorism and its sources of funding via oil resources.

As such, the realms of jurisprudence centric to mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations in the Oil and Gas verticals have been delineated to examine various crucial aspects studiously, and whilst doing so, ugly facets centric to corruption, cronyism, and money laundering, Et Al, have been discussed. The text of chapters 2 to 6 explicates on certain intricacies and inherent faux pas, and hence, it sets the stage for Chapter 7 which via building on the foundational perspectives of the earlier chapters goes on to evaluate and expound the complex landscape of energy security and the convoluted links to terrorism eventuated on by oil monies.
