Abstract

The demand for petroleum products has never been higher, despite the opposition and environmental skepticism that has been present against the petroleum industry in recent years. This requires the production of petroleum products to increase. However, as politics and nature will have it, the waning supply of petroleum is becoming ever more difficult to access and tap into. To make sure we are using our reserves in the best possible ways, this industry must adapt, create better technology, and have careful planning and predictions.
