Sustainable Natural Gas Drilling: Technologies and Case Studies for the Energy Transition
Wood, David
Cai, Jianchao
Sustainable Natural Gas Drilling, the latest release in The Fundamentals and Sustainable Advances in Natural Gas Science and Engineering series, delivers many of the technical fundamentals needed in the natural gas industry with an additional sustainability lens. Introductory topics include underbalanced technologies, well integrity, and well trajectory. Advanced applications include utilizing nanoparticles to reduce environmental impact, and techniques to drill for underground gas storage and carbon capture operations. Supported by corporate and academic contributors along with two well-distinguished editors, Sustainable Natural Gas Drilling provides today’s natural gas engineers the knowledge to adjust current drilling practices in a more environmentally sustainable way. Accelerate emissions with case studies and visuals to illustrate how new principles can be applied in practical situationsUnderstand innovative advances that are leading to improved environmental performanceBridge from theory to application with worldwide contributors representing academia and industry INDICE: Preface Section One: Drilling Techniques Tailored to Meet the Challenges 1.
