De fossiele brandstoffen steenkool, aardgas en olie zijn belangrijke energiebronnen. Maar we zijn deze energiebronnen in snel tempo aan het opmaken, en ooit zullen ze opraken. Waar komen fossiele brandstoffen vandaan? Hoe worden ze gewonnen? Wat zijn de gevolgen voor het milieu als we ze verbranden? Waar moeten we onze energie vandaan halen als ze op zijn? Dit boek geeft antwoord op deze en nog veel meer vragen. Het laat zien hoe en waar fossiele brandstoffen worden gewonnen, hoe we ze gebruiken, en wat de gevolgen zijn voor het milieu.

This book introduces the basic theoretical knowledge of rock mechanics and its application in petroleum engineering. It covers the gamut of the formulas and calculations for petroleum engineers that have been compiled over decades, while others are meant to help guide the engineer through some of the more recent breakthroughs in the industry’s technology. The topics are introduced at a level that should give a good basic understanding of the subject: • Basic concepts of stress and strain • Experimental method of rock mechanics • Rock deformation and strength characteristics • Rock strength failure criterion • In situ stress state • Application method of rock mechanics theory in the field of wellbore stability • Application method of rock mechanics theory in the field of sand production • Application method of rock mechanics theory in the field of hydraulic fracturing. This textbook contains abundant figures, illustrations, and tables, providing valuable examples and exercises. Key Features and Benefits for the Reader: • Helps in understanding the basic concepts of rock mechanics • Applies rock mechanics theory and method to various fields of petroleum engineering • Includes a large number of calculations, tables, and equations that are very useful for petroleum engineers • Presents new and updated sections in rock mechanics of petroleum engineering. .

This book is a reality check of where energy will come from in the future. Today, our economy is utterly dependent on fossil fuels. They are essential to transportation, manufacturing, farming, electricity, and to make fertilizers, cement, steel, roads, cars, and half a million other products. One day, sooner or later, fossil fuels will no longer be abundant and affordable. Inevitably, one day, global oil production will decline. That time may be nearer than we realize. Some experts predict oil shortages as soon as 2022 to 2030. What then are our options for replacing the fossil fuels that turn the great wheel of civilization? Surveying the arsenal of alternatives – wind, solar, hydrogen, geothermal, nuclear, batteries, catenary systems, fusion, methane hydrates, power2gas, wave, tidal power and biomass – this book examines whether they can replace or supplement fossil fuels. The book also looks at substitute energy sources from the standpoint of the energy users. Manufacturing, which uses half of fossil fuels, often requires very high heat, which in many cases electricity can't provide. Industry uses fossil fuels as a feedstock for countless products, and must find substitutes. And, as detailed in the author's previous book, "When Trucks Stop Running: Energy and the Future of Transportation," ships, locomotives, and heavy-duty trucks are fueled by diesel. What can replace diesel? Taking off the rose-colored glasses, author Alice Friedemann analyzes our options. What alternatives should we deploy right now? Which technologies merit further research and development? Which are mere wishful thinking that, upon careful scrutiny, dematerialize before our eyes? Fossil fuels have allowed billions of us to live like kings. Fueled by oil, coal, and natural gas, we changed the equation constraining the carrying capacity of our planet. As fossil fuels peak and then decline, will we fall back to Earth? Are there viable alternatives? --
