With the rise in global demand for oil and fast depletion of easy reserves, the search for oil is directed to more difficult areas - deepwater, arctic region, hostile terrains; and future production is expected to come from increasingly difficult reserves - deeper horizon, low quality crude. All these are making E&P activities even more challenging in terms of operations, technology, cost and risk. Therefore, it is necessary to use scarce resources judiciously and optimize strategies, cost and capital, and improve business performance in all spheres of E&P business.§§Optimization and Business Improvement Studies in Upstream Oil and Gas Industry contains eleven real-life optimization and business improvement studies that delve into the core E&P activities and functional areas covering a wide range of operations and processes.
