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 engineered 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.
