CHATTING WITH CHARLEY MAXWELL

摘要

Charles T. Maxwell is Weeden & Co. 's senior energy analyst, focused on the biggest international companies and macro industry trends. Although nearing 80, the day we spoke he was nursing a charley horse he got playing tennis, still one of his greatest passions—aside from the oil industry, which he has covered since 1968. Educated at Princeton University in politics and Arabic, he became intrigued by geology while working at the geology library as an undergrad. Next, he was a Marshall Scholar at Oxford, specializing in Middle East languages, literature and history. Upon his return to the U.S. in 1957, his love of the Middle East and geology naturally led him to accept an offer from Mobil Oil Corp., where he worked for 11 years in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
