  • Maximizes understanding of emerging technologies that allow for cost effective oil and gas exploration with minimal environmental effects
  • Brings together diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives on many issues surrounding oil and gas exploration
  • Presents both cutting-edge, original research and comprehensive reviews, addressing theory and practice
  • Covers a broad spectrum of topics including rock mechanics, structural geology; and petroleum, civil, and chemical engineering, to address problems that arise during the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs
  • Emphasizes practical issues, such as induced seismicity and shale fracturing modelling, over unnecessary mathematical expressions and lengthy calculations of stress and strain

About this book

This contributed volume presents a multi-perspective collection of the latest research findings on oil and gas exploration and imparts insight that can greatly assist in understanding field behavior, design of test programs, and design of field operations. With this book, engineers also gain a powerful guide to the most commonly used numerical simulation methods that aid in reservoir modelling. In addition, the contributors explore development of technologies that allow for cost effective oil and gas exploration while minimizing the impact on our water resources, surface and groundwater aquifers, geological stability of impacted areas, air quality, and infrastructure assets such as roads, pipelines, water, and wastewater networks. Easy to understand, the book identifies equipment and procedural problems inherent to oil and gas operations and provides systematic approaches for solving them.
