Future of gas and oil from the sea
- ed.
From the text it will be seen that as much gas and oil remains to be found under the world ocean as already has been found under dry land. The challenge to drill and recover hydrocarbon resources from frontier areas, under deep water rolled by high winds or in frigid Arctic areas, has been described by the authors with illustrations of the advancing technology in drilling rigs and their equipment, new types of tankers and vessel transfers, and improved pipeline transmission of gas and oil. Moreover, the human factor of training and safety, critical to the efficient use of modern technology, have been explored. The book also examines the effect of regulation of the offshore industry by the government through the Outer Continental Shelf Act and its administration as well as the problems of ascertaining the environmental effects of the recovery of gas and oil from the seabed. The 10 chapters in this book, each written by different authors, are: (1) petroleum from the oceans: resources, exploration and world energy role; (2) oil and gas resources of the US Continental margin; (3) deepwater drilling and production systems for the 1980s; (4) Arctic drilling and production systems; (5) pipeline for offshore gas and oil; (6) buoy loading of tankers in offshore oil fields; (7) safety standards and accidents in frontier drilling operations; (8) workplace safety problems in offshore operations; (9) US geological survey regulatory program for the Outer Continental Shelf; and (10) environmental effects of offshore drilling.
