Petroleum and natural gas still remain the single biggest resource for
energy on earth. Even as alternative and renewable sources are
developed, petroleum and natural gas continue to be, by far, the most
used and, if engineering properly, the most cost-effective and
efficient, source of energy on the planet. Contrary to some beliefs,
the industry can, in fact, be sustainable, from an environmental,
economic, and resource perspective. Petroleum and natural gas are,
after all, natural sources of energy and do not have to be treated as
pariahs. This groundbreaking new text describes hydrocarbons in
basement formations, how they can be characterized and engineered, and
how they can be engineered properly, to best achieve sustainability.
Covering the basic theories and the underlying scientific concepts,
the authors then go on to explain the best practices and new
technologies and processes for utilizing basement formations for the
petroleum and natural gas industries. Covering all of the hottest
issues in the industry, from oil shale, tar sands, and hydraulic
fracturing, this book is a must-have for any engineer working in the
industry. This textbook is an excellent resource for petroleum
engineering students, reservoir engineers, supervisors & managers,
researchers and environmental engineers for planning every aspect of
rig operations in the most sustainable, environmentally responsible
manner, using the most up-to-date technological advancements in
equipment and processes.
