The oil and gas industry is in the midst of a paradigm shift, moving from developing solely petroleum-based energy to producing alternative energy forms, including renewables. Energy Transition in the Oil and Gas Industry offers a comprehensive overview of renewables and their applications in the oil and gas industry during the current energy transition period. It includes the latest methods and workflows in renewables and oil and gas processes as well as integrated and hybrid approaches currently used as the industry begins its transition to the production of alternative forms of energy.

- Provides a synopsis of fossil fuel resources, along with the latest technologies, applications, and economics, and offers a general outline for the energy transition

- Details various alternative and renewable energy forms and discusses their advantages, disadvantages, maturity levels, and applications, including solar, geothermal, wind, hydropower, fuel cells, hydrogen, biofuels, ocean energy, and nuclear

- Discusses carbon capture and storage, electric vehicles, and energy storage technologies

- Covers the latest advances and technologies related to digital transformation in the oil and gas industry

- Summarizes future trends and directions of technologies related to renewable energy and energy transition in the oil and gas industry

Addressing energy holistically from a technology and engineering perspective, this book offers engineering professionals in the energy sector a wide-ranging view of current and near future changes taking place in this critical industry.
