Materials technology has a significant role to play in the
continuing drive to reduce both the capital and operational costs
of offshore installations. In particular, the progressive advances
in the understanding of composite materials is particularly
important in the harsh environment of the offshore oil and gas
industry. This text presents a collection of papers from an IMechE
seminar on the subject.

As the shale revolution continues in North America, unconventional
resource markets are emerging on every continent. In the next eight
to ten years, more than 100,000 wells and one- to two-million
hydraulic fracturing stages could be executed, resulting in close
to one trillion dollars in industry spending. This growth has
prompted professionals experienced in conventional oil and gas
exploitation and development to acquire practical knowledge of the
unconventional realm. Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources:
Exploitation and Development provides a comprehensive understanding
of the latest advances in the exploitation and development of
unconventional resources. With an emphasis on shale, this book:
Addresses all aspects of the exploitation and development process,
from data mining and accounting to drilling, completion,
stimulation, production, and environmental issues Offers in-depth
coverage of sub-surface measurements (geological, geophysical,
petrophysical, geochemical, and geomechanical) and their
interpretation Discusses the use of microseismic, fiber optic, and
tracer reservoir monitoring technologies and JewelSuite (TM)
reservoir modeling software Presents the viewpoints of
internationally respected experts and researchers from leading
exploration and production (E&P) companies and academic
institutions Explores future trends in reservoir technologies for
unconventional resources development Unconventional Oil and Gas
Resources: Exploitation and Development aids geologists,
geophysicists, petrophysicists, geomechanic specialists, and
drilling, completion, stimulation, production, and reservoir
engineers in the environmentally safe exploitation and development
of unconventional resources like shale.
This book brings together a comprehensive and up-to-date
presentation of the main scientific and technological aspects of
limestone mining. The book discusses how to excavate limestone from
surface mines including the nuances of production and commercial
aspects.It addresses topical issues related with the quarrying of
limestone and environmental protection measures adopted in mining
and manufacturing. The chapters in this book describe planning and
designing of mining processes to produce limestone that meets with
market requirements and customer specifications. The book also
discusses the environmental stresses caused by mining as an
industrial activity and their ramifications and remedies. The book
includes case studies from different geo-mining environments. The
contents of this book will be useful to professionals, researchers,
and policy makers alike.
This book explores sustainable mining knowledge, assessing
researchers on the impacts of waste and new approaches to
negotiating these impacts. Mining has always been a profitable
venture; however, it comes with several boons and banes. The
significant advantages of mining include employment generation, the
establishment of townships and trade centers, and socio-economic
growth. However, the mining activity is a significant cause of
environmental degradation, including soils, atmosphere, water,
solid wastes, changed topography, and health hazards. This book
emphasizes value-added products from mining wastes and innovations
for balancing environment, ecology, and economy. This book is
designed for miners, policymakers, professionals, researchers,
scientists, industrialists, and environmental agencies.
