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.
- Helps readers quickly become familiar with offshore operations
- Provides basic fundamentals, including basic geology, procedures, technological, safety and environmental considerations, and future challenges
- Presents critical standards that are backed up with real-world case studies
- Addresses the role that offshore operations play in the reduction of carbon emissions
Academia: Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and engineers interested in petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, environment, and energy.Reviewer remarks regarding audience: R1 The primary audience is the petroleum courses students worldwide. However, many chapters are also of interest for chemical and mechanical engineering courses. Researchers and professionals may also be interested, but they are less relevant in numbers. R2 Oil and Gas Academia and Industry (Upstream and Downstream), Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (CSChE), American Geophysical Union (AGU), American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) R3 The target group is new employees, students, and employees in need of an overview or insight into specialties different from their own. Industry:Entry-level professionals / - New industry employees in need of an overview; Researchers in cross-disciplines
