Although petroleum is still the world's most diverse, efficient, and abundant energy source, there is a growing initiative from global political and industry leaders to \"go green,\" because of climate concerns and high gasoline prices. This book investigates and details how to do that.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking new volume:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains why current petroleum industry practices are inherently unsustainable and offers unique new solutions for \"greening\" the petroleum industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses hot-button issues, such as global warming, carbon sequestration, zero-waste management, and sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows engineers and scientists how to implement the processes necessary to be more environmentally conscious\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers, for the first time, a new theory that certain carbons do not contribute to global warming, but their origin and the processes involved do\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Greening of Petroleum Operations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The book proposes a paradigm shift in energy management. It correctly identifies root causes of environmental impact of current petroleum production operations. With proper science, the book shows that fossil fuel production and utilization are inherently sustainable as long as natural materials and energy sources are used.... This book has the potential of revolutionizing energy management practices.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eFarouq Ali\u003c\/b\u003e, Honorary Professor of Oil and Gas Engineering, University of Calgary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eM.
