The Future of Petroleum Operations
This state-of-the-art text analyzes some of the most contentious
issues in the energy industry, covering new and greener processes
for engineers and scientists and urging them to move petroleum
operations closer to sustainability. Although petroleum is still
the world's most diverse, efficient, and abundant energy source,
there is a growing initiative from global political and industry
leaders to "go green," because of climate concerns and high
gasoline prices. This book investigates and details how to do
that.
This groundbreaking new volume: Explains why current petroleum
industry practices are inherently unsustainable and offers unique
new solutions for "greening" the petroleum industryDiscusses
hot-button issues, such as global warming, carbon sequestration,
zero-waste management, and sustainabilityShows engineers and
scientists how to implement the processes necessary to be more
environmentally consciousOffers, for the first time, a new theory
that certain carbons do not contribute to global warming, but their
origin and the processes involved do
Praise for "The Greening of Petroleum Operations"
"The book proposes a paradigm shift in energy management. It
correctly identifies root causes of environmental impact of current
petroleum production operations. With proper science, the book
shows that fossil fuel production and utilization are inherently
sustainable as long as natural materials and energy sources are
used.... This book has the potential of revolutionizing energy
management practices."
