As global energy demand continues to rise, the exploration, extraction, and consumption of fossil fuels, particularly oil and gas, have become subjects of significant concern due to their environmental impact. The intersection of energy, policy, and the environment is a complex and dynamic field, with oil and gas playing a central role.
This thesis aims to explore the intricate relationships between energy, policy, and the environment, focusing specifically on the oil and gas industry. By examining the environmental consequences of oil and gas operations, analyzing policy frameworks and regulations, and assessing the potential for sustainable practices within the industry, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with oil and gas energy production.
Through an interdisciplinary approach that combines scientific, economic, and policy perspectives, this study aims to inform the development of strategies and initiatives that promote a more sustainable energy future. By exploring the complexities of energy, policy, and the environment within the context of oil and gas, this thesis contributes to the ongoing dialogue on transitioning towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible energy sector.
