Handbook of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations: Methods, Technologies, and Environmental Impacts, Second Edition gives a thorough overview of offshore operations, including fundamentals, technology, safety, legal and environmental considerations, and global applications. Sections present discussions on environmental impacts, extensive coverage of offshore operations, with current coverage of technologies, processes, legal and environmental aspects of deepwater exploration, and drilling and well completion. It is an authoritative resource on these advanced technologies, providing safety aspects and the critical environmental considerations that govern offshore operations.

This new edition is revised and updated to include new chapters on Oil Spills and Cleanup Methods that support HSE initiatives and sustainability as well as multiple chapters that address the role of offshore operations in the reduction of carbon emissions. The book's reach includes undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, engineers, and entry-level professionals interested in petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, environment, and energy.?
