The by-products of petroleum extraction include asphalt, tar, paraffin wax, etc. Petroleum is a non-renewable form of energy and its reservoirs are depleting at a rapid pace. This book delves into the diverse aspects of petroleum extraction, refining, production, etc. and the impact they have on the environment. The various aspects of this field along with technological progress that have future implications have also been glanced at. For all readers who are interested in petroleum technology, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
