Abstract
For over 100 years, oilfield science and technology have been continually improving. The oil industry has evolved from one that was interested mainly in inventing tools and equipment to one that is not only economically, but also environmentally, conscious. In the 1980s, low oil prices forced oilfield technology to focus on economic efficiency and productivity. Simultaneously, environmental regulatory pressure added a new factor to petroleum engineering economics: the cost of working within the constraints of an environmental issue. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
