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
