Sustainable Oil and Gas Development Series – serie

Sustainable Oil and Gas Development Series: Reservoir Development delivers research materials and emerging technologies that conform sustainability in today's reservoirs. Starting with a status of technologies available, the reference describes sustainability as it applies to fracturing fluids, particularly within unconventional reservoirs. Basement reservoirs are discussed along with non-energy applications of fluids. Sustainability considerations for reserve predication are covered followed by risk analysis and scaling guidelines for further field development. Rounding out with conclusions and remaining challenges, Sustainable Oil and Gas Development Series: Reservoir Development gives today and future petroleum engineers a focused and balanced path to strengthen sustainability practices.

Gain insight to more environmentally-friendly protocols for both unconventional and basement reservoirs, including non-energy applications of reservoir fluids Determine more accurate reserves and keep budgets in line while focusing on emission reduction Learn from a well-known author with extensive experience in both academia and industry

Sustainable Oil and Gas Development Series: Drilling Engineering delivers research materials and emerging technologies that conform sustainability drilling criteria. Starting with ideal zero-waste solutions in drilling and long-term advantages, the reference discusses the sustainability approach through the use of non-linear solutions and works its way through the most conventional practices and procedures used today. Step-by-step formulations and examples are provided to demonstrate how to look at conventional practices versus sustainable approaches with eventually diverging towards a more sustainable alternative. Emerging technologies are covered and detailed sustainability analysis is included. Economic considerations, analysis, and long-term consequences, focusing on risk management round out the with conclusions and a extensive glossary. Sustainable Oil and Gas Development Series: Drilling Engineering gives today's petroleum and drilling engineers a guide how to analyze and evaluate their operations in a more environmentally-driven way.

Proposes sustainable technical criteria and strategies for today's most common drilling practices such as horizontal drilling, managed pressure drilling, and unconventional shale activity Discusses economic benefits and development challenges to invest in environmentally-friendly operations Highlights the most recent research, analysis, and challenges that remain including global optimization

Offshore Operations, a new release in the Sustainable Oil and Gas Development series, delivers the tools needed to understand more environmentally-friendly processes and alternative criteria for oil tankers, subsea facilities, and fixed base structures. Designed to introduce ideal solutions and current state-of-the-art practices, the reference includes guidelines on waste management and disposal as well as monitoring schemes to achieve lower emissions. Emerging technology and future trends are also discussed. Rounded out with information on optimizing storage and additional reference sources, this book gives oil and gas engineers a guide on safer alternatives and upcoming guidelines in the race to reduce emissions.
