摘要

In th decades ahead, our world's energy system will be radically different from today's."
Jan van der Eijk, chief technology officer, Shell

Demand for energy is surging. Production of easy oil and gas will be unable to match the growing requirement. More energy means more carbon dioxide emissions – and greater climate change.
The challenges facing the energy industry will determine the extent to which the world will have continued access to the clean, convenient, affordable energy that is a foundation of modern life. Fundamentals of the Global Oil and Gas Industry, 2008 assesses these challenges and looks at how the energy industries may develop in the future.

Its 160 pages include 40 articles by the industry's leading journalists and thinkers. They tackle the most important issues the industry faces; some of the topics covered include:

- An overview of the oil-supply challenge from the secretary-general of Opec;
- An assessment of the risks of carbon capture and storage;
- An examination of the Russian far east – what are its prospects?
- Views on the future of oil and gas technology from senior thinkers at Schlumberger and Halliburton;
- A look at the possibility of nuclear power fuelling Canada's oil-sands development;
- The boom and bust in the biofuels sector;
- An evaluation of gas hydrates;
- The challenges of the Brazilian pre-salt offshore, including an update on the Tupi discovery;
- The lessons learnt by China's national oil companies from their overseas investments;
- And much, much more.
