Abstract

This paper shows, in a systematic way, that the long-term solution to the environmental issue in petroleum engineering is the development of a new area: environmental control technology (ECT). ECT is defined as intrinsic in and integrated with an oilfield process. Its preventive function is contrasted to the remediating nature of conventional waste-management technology (WMT). This paper has two objectives: to identify and qualify ECT for petroleum engineering and to overview recent ECT developments, particularly in oilfield production operations.
