Technology will be the key to tapping those more difficult resources at costs that do not impair the world’s economic growth.  Based on extensive inputs from industry experts, this book presents the main challenges and some of the technologies that are being investigated to address them. It also estimates of future costs of producing the various types of resources. ER -
