"This book originated from an invitation from Michael Leventhal, editor of the STM division at John Wiley & Sons publishing group in the U.S. in 2022. In August 2024 and at the time of writing this book, the U.S. crude oil production reached to all time high of 13.4 mb/d up 2% from 2023 level. This oil production level is the highest a single country has produced in the history of the petroleum industry despite all efforts to curb uses of fossil type energy.

It is expected that the Oil and Gas global industry will play a major role in a foreseeable future not only for energy production but mainly as a source of the ever-growing petrochemicals production. However, the industry is facing major challenges to produce cleaner fuels and to control its carbon and GHG emissions during oil production, refining, and use of petroleum products. The industry must deal with stricter environmental regulations and economic constraints to survive and remain competitive"-- Provided by publisher.
