[Don E. Kash, Irvin L. White, Karl H. Bergey, Michael A. Chartock, Michael D. Devine, R. Leon Leonard, Stephen N. Salomon, and Harold W. Young / Energy Under the Oceans : A Technology Assessment of Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Operations] {University of Oklahoma Press; Norman; 1973; Trade Paperback; Very Good/No Jacket; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.} Covers rubbed, slightly soiled; front cover has small crease at tail corner; tail edge slightly soiled. Interior clean and unmarked. Stated First Edition. "At the present time, say the authors of this book, oil and gas account for almost 70 per cent of total energy consumption, but supplies are dwindling. One of the most important sources of significant quantities of oil and gas is the outer continental shelf, but critics view its development as involving excessive environmental risks. This assessment of outer continental shelf oil and gas operations was undertaken by an interdisciplinary team--two political scientists, three engineers, a marine biologist, a physicist, and a lawyer. It was conducted under the aegis of the Science and Public Policy Program of the University of Oklahoma through a grant from the National Science Foundation. After examining the development of outer continental shelf oil and gas resources and how policies are currently established, the authors turn their attention to topics such as the adequacy of present technologies, the quality of environment and environmental control, government management, and the question of jurisdiction--federal and state. Perhaps most important are their recommendations regarding government policy and administration, industry management, and technologies which will contribute to optimal resources development and still respond to broad social concerns."

Shipping terms
The shipping cost covers postage and packaging. We do not inflate the shipping costs so that we can list the book at a lower price, nor do we inflate the price of the book to cover increased shipping costs. Shipping costs are based on books weighing less than 2 lbs. (0.91 kg). Delivery Confirmation is included with standard U.S. (Media Mail) shipping. If your book order is heavy or oversized, or if there is a shipping cost statement at the end of the book description with a higher rate, you will be contacted by AbeBooks via email to approve the additional shipping charge. If the shipping statement indicates a lower rate, we will reduce your shipping charge when we process your order. The default rates are set to cover the cost of shipping a two-pound book to the most expensive destination within each category. Because of the risks inherent to mailing we will not ship any book without a packing slip (usually Abebooks Shipping Manifest), which includes the package's destination and a return address. We do not include an invoice or pricing. For an additional fee of $3.00, books can be shipped directly to your customer with your return address and/or have the price markings removed. Please specify in the Special Instructions section, and approve the request for extra charges that will follow. We are unable to honor special requests unless they are included in the Special Instructions section or made via email correspondence (Book Inquiries, etc.) that takes place before we process your order. Instructions embedded in the destination address are both annoying and counterproductive to mailing your order accurately -- they will be deleted and disregarded.
