The petroleum sector is possibly the largest and most dominant economic sector, yet there is no appropriate tool or guideline available in achieving sustainability in this sector. There is not even a single book available to address how to achieve sustainability or to conform with the essential features of the Information Age. This is the first book in the petroleum sector that sheds light on the real obstacles to sustainable development and provides solutions to each problem encountered. Each solution is complete with an economic analysis that clarifies why petroleum operations can continue with even greater profit than before while ensuring that the negative environmental impact is diminished. The new screening tools and models proposed in this book will provide one with proper guidelines to achieve true sustainability in both technology development and management of the petroleum sector.
