Oil and Natural Gas
Hate future for oil and natural gas ? Man has known oil and gas since time immemorial and their use was even recorded in the Old Testament. The inspiration for fire-worship, they were also put to more practical purposes, with oil being used both for caulking boats and covering roads and as a medicine for curing all ills ! Oil would later become the driving force for the industrial revolution. Oil and gas are finite resources that take millions of years to form. The carbon dioxide they give off when consumed brings a risk of climate change, produced by the greenhouse effect. The gradual depletion of reserves and the human and environmental risks relating to oil mean we are having to give very serious thought to the respective rotes of hydrocarbons and other energy sources in the future. Preface by Hubert Reeves.
Le pétrole : quelles réserves, quelles productions et à quel prix ?
Malgré la nécessaire diminution des consommations d’énergies fossiles pour lutter contre le changement climatique, le pétrole restera indispensable pendant encore des décennies pour répondre à une demande énergétique mondiale toujours croissante. Cet ouvrage donne une grille de lecture de la scène pétrolière actuelle en faisant la synthèse des trois grands facteurs étroitement imbriqués que sont les réserves, les conditions de production et les prix. Évolution des marchés, techniques et perspectives de production, impacts géopolitiques, scénarios pour le futur, les auteurs livrent ici une analyse critique et objective d’un secteur qui soulève trop souvent passions et fantasmes.
Oil, Power, and War
The story of oil is one of hubris, fortune, betrayal, and destruction. It is the story of a resource that has been undeniably central to the creation of our modern culture, and ever-present during the darkest exploits of empire the world over. For the past 150 years, oil has become the most essential ingredient for economic, military, and political power. And it has brought us to our present moment in which political leaders and the fossil-fuel industry consider extraordinary, and extraordinarily dangerous, policy on a world stage marked by shifting power bases. Upending the conventional wisdom by crafting a “people’s history,” award-winning journalist Matthieu Auzanneau deftly traces ...
Parlons gaz de schiste en 30 questions
L’exploitation des gaz et pétrole de schiste donne lieu à de vifs débats. En effet, la technique de la fracturation hydraulique est fortement décriée en raison de son impact environnemental et sanitaire. Si les États-Unis développent leur production de gaz de schiste, le Conseil constitutionnel a validé en octobre dernier l’interdiction de la fracturation hydraulique en France. Qu’en est-il exactement ? Cet ouvrage fait un point clair et synthétique sur les réserves, les conditions d’exploitation et les apports énergétiques et économiques de cette ressource. L’auteur y rectifie de nombreuses idées reçues.
Atlas of the Gulf States
The Arab Gulf States possess more than half of the planet’s crude oil reserves, and their gas reserves are immense. The transition from being rental economies to producing economies has caused rapid and significant changes, including the influx of foreign (Arab and Asian) manual laborers, and spectacular urban development, particularly along the coast. This Atlas of the Gulf States contains more than 150 maps and graphs based on recent data. It offers a survey of the history and economic and urban development of the Gulf region. For Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Iran, this atlas offers detailed maps, plans and statistics for the relevant provinces as well as the most important cities. This Atlas is an updated translation from the French edition (2011), with a more extensive bibliography and an index.
Waves & the Earth
This book is aimed at anyone seeking to understand the technologies involved in the exploration and study of the Earth using electromagnetic or sound waves. It sets out to give simple and clear expia-nations of the progress made using concepts that appear simple at first sight, but which are used in highly sophisticated ways. The book also examines the various techniques employed in exploring both the infinitely big and the infinitely small. It will help give ail of us an insight into a subject that has long been a source of fascination for mankind as a whole.
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
The steps that lead to the production of oil and gas are diverse, complex and costly. They are diverse because the detection of oil and gas involves input from many specialties, ranging from geology to reservoir engineering. They are complex, as shown by the development of the job of the petroleum architect, who coordinates all the operations. They are costly, as the investments for exploration and production represent more than half of all investments in the oil and gas sector. Moreover, exploration is a risky activity, both from the technical and financial viewpoint: only one well in five produces marketable oil. Meanwhile, the areas for exploration and production are spread throughout the world.

Global Warming and Energy Policy
The first part of the conference explores two major environmental concerns that arise from fuel use: (1) the prospect that the globe will become warmer as a result of emissions of carbon dioxide, and (2) the effect upon health of the fine particles emitted as combustion products. The conference focused on the fact that there was lack of data direct enough to enable us to predict an entirely satisfactory result, and that makes policy options particularly difficult. With regard to (1) above, in the second half of the 20th century there were major increases in anthropogenic C02 emissions, and it is generally agreed that these were responsible for an increase in C02 concentrations. But the relat...
