Description

The accelerated growth of the world population creates an increase of energy needs. This requires new paths for oil supply to its users, which can be potential hazardous sources for individuals and the environment.

Risk Analysis for Prevention of Hazardous Situations in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering explains the potential hazards of petroleum engineering activities, emphasizing risk assessments in drilling, completion, and production, and the gathering, transportation, and storage of hydrocarbons. Designed to aid in decision-making processes for environmental protection, this book is a useful guide for engineers, technicians, and other professionals in the petroleum industry interested in risk analysis for preventing hazardous situations.



Author's/Editor's Biography

Davorin Matanovic (Ed.)
Davorin Matanovic is a full time professor at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb in Croatia. He holds the Master Engineer (ME) degree in Petroleum Engineering, Master of Science (MS) in Chemical Engineering and PhD in Petroleum Engineering. His current major study and specialization is well completion and workover, but he also teaches drilling technique, well stimulation and technical risk analysis as well. As an ex oilfield engineer working for INA-Naftaplin, Comp. he gained practical experience as a drilling engineer, also earning the state engineer certificate. Apart from the oilfield and teaching experience, he is an editor in chief of The Mining, Geology, and Petroleum Engineering Bulletin, member of the Croatian Academy of Engineering, etc. He is also the author of four books and numerous papers.
