The Future of Petroleum Operations
This state-of-the-art text analyzes some of the most contentiousissues in the energy industry, covering new and greener processesfor engineers and scientists and urging them to move petroleumoperations closer to sustainability. Although petroleum is stillthe world's most diverse, efficient, and abundant energy source,there is a growing initiative from global political and industryleaders to "go green," because of climate concerns and highgasoline prices. This book investigates and details how to dothat.
This groundbreaking new volume:
* Explains why current petroleum industry practices areinherently unsustainable and offers unique new solutions for"greening" the petroleum industry
* Discusses hot-button issues, such as global warming, carbonsequestration, zero-waste management, and sustainability
* Shows engineers and scientists how to implement the processesnecessary to be more environmentally conscious
* Offers, for the first time, a new theory that certain carbonsdo not contribute to global warming, but their origin and theprocesses involved do
Praise for The Greening of PetroleumOperations
"The book proposes a paradigm shift in energy management. Itcorrectly identifies root causes of environmental impact of currentpetroleum production operations. With proper science, the bookshows that fossil fuel production and utilization are inherentlysustainable as long as natural materials and energy sources areused.... This book has the potential of revolutionizing energymanagement practices."
--Farouq Ali, Honorary Professor of Oil and GasEngineering, University of Calgary
