Routledge Sustainability Management in Oil and Gas Industry

The oil and gas industry plays a massive role in meeting global energy needs while impacting economic security and the environment. This book from Routledge provides a detailed look at how these sectors operate, specifically focusing on their importance to the economic growth of emerging markets and developing countries. Because oil and gas resources are finite, managing them requires careful planning and sustainability practices. This text addresses the high health and safety risks and the substantial environmental costs associated with extraction. It explores the methods needed to ensure optimal utilization of these resources while balancing the development consequences that follow. Designed for those studying economic policy and development, this work examines the complex relationship between resource extraction and long-term sustainability. It serves as a resource for understanding how developing nations can navigate the economic opportunities and environmental responsibilities inherent in the energy sector.
