Written in non-technical language for the layperson, this book investigates and details how the oil and gas industry can \"go green\" with new processes and technologies, thus bringing the world's most important industry closer to environmental and economic sustainability.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book unravels the mysteries of the current energy crisis and argues that solutions to global warming will come only from the development of new technologies. Discussed here are the reasons why petroleum operations, as they are now, are not sustainable; how each practice treads an inherently implosive path; and how each spells irreversible damage to the planet's ecosystem. Fossil fuel consumption is not the culprit; rather, the practices involved, from exploration to refining and processing, are responsible for the current damage to the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: From the Pharaonic Age to the Information Age: Have We Progressed in Technology Development Skills?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: How long has this ‘technological disaster’ been in the making?
