At the start of the new century, we can look at our modern high tech industry and see that oil has gone from a few oil seeps to the single most important raw material traded in the world, in volume and in value, in just over 100 years. The commercial history of the oil industry has been relatively short and dramatic. Where will we be heading in the next 100 years? It would be brave to predict 10 years from now, let alone 100. 100 years ago who could have predicted space travel, a man on the moon, the television, the computer, the internet? The list is endless. The 16th World Petroleum Congress serves as a forum for scientists, technical personnel, economists and management in the oil industr...
This book will serve as a valuable reference to widely applicable and critically important geoenvironmental topics for pipeline engineers worldwide. The topics covered are: route selection, open cut and elevated driver crossings, horizontal directional drilling, buoyancy control and geohazard management. Authored by a team of recognized specialists in their respective fields and with practical examples from experiences around the world, this book will provide generalists with working knowledge in the topics addressed to better define design, construction and integrity management issues and to identify practical solutions.
