Reihe: Systems Innovation Book Series

This volume focuses on the broad scope of systems engineering and recent energy technology developments as they relate to the oil and gas industry, which remains a lifeline to communities around the world. In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to, among other things, curtail the catastrophe that will befall the world from the increasing menace of global warming and climate change. The best way to achieve most or all the goals is to use a comprehensive systems-based approach, specifically, leveraging the efficacy of systems engineering for project management in the oil and gas industry.

Systems Engineering and Technology presents the systems-based interrelationships of energy generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. This volume will expand on elements of the first edition to encapsulate new developments in technologies, from a systems approach. In tackling climate change problems, both qualitative and quantitative approaches must be pursued. This allows us to bring in technological approaches as well as human-centered social considerations.

The premise of this volume is that a systems engineering approach is the key to making the desired progress, where renewables and conventional oil and gas can coexist. This book contains a mix of technical, social, economic, engineering, and political considerations ideal for practitioners, designers, consultants, contractors, risk and quality managers, along with project managers and systems engineers involved in oil and gas projects, and related industries.

This book is also available as a set - Project Management for the Oil and Gas Industry: A Global System Approach (9781032646046).
