Abstract

The chapter introduces oilfield environmental control technology (ECT) as a part of petroleum engineering discipline that concerns interaction between the technology and natural environment. ECT is defined as intrinsic in and integrated with an oilfield process and its preventive function is distinguished from the remediating nature of conventional waste management technology (WMT). Discussed are conceptual methods of ECT for designing or modifying oilfield process. The ECT approach is used to analyze oilfield processes of drilling and production – their toxicity and inherent mechanisms for pollution generation.
