“…In previous years, a substantial body of knowledge about the socioeconomic and environmental implications of biodiesel has been accumulated. The petroleum-based fuel reserve will be drained in the next few years approximately at 2030 due to the rapid increase of people's needs, which will generate the greatest issue of the 21st century (Edwan Kardena, 2015). Based on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), global fuel oil consumption is forecast to reach approximately 100 million barrels a day by 2040, with 5.0 million barrels of diesel fuel consumption a day.…”

Biodiesel has recently received much attention as an energy source with numerous benefits such as high degradability, negligible toxicity, and minimal emissions of carbon monoxide gases as well as particulates. Therefore, this research aims to compare, review, and summarize the conventional and advanced methods of biodiesel production. Currently, some emerging processes that were developed for advanced biodiesel production include microwave-assisted synthesis, ultrasonic-assisted synthesis, supercritical transesterification, and liquid phase plasma discharge technology. The types of feedstocks, catalysts, and operating conditions as the influential parameters in biodiesel synthesis are also discussed. Moreover, in the purification process, the effectiveness of purification depends on the type of catalyst applied in the synthesis process. This research also reviewed and compared several commonly used purification methods such as wet and dry washing, ion exchange and precipitation, complexation, and membrane-based separation that have shown significant results along with the impacts of biodiesel production on environmental and economic sectors

“…A meta-analysis by Yusta-Garcia et al (2017), based on the 2951 reported water chemistry analyses carried out between 1987 and 2013 by governmental institutions and three oil companies, showed that legal limits for contaminants in river water, including rivers with peatlands on their floodplains, were routinely exceeded in Peru. Only since the late 2000s has it become more common in countries including Peru and Indonesia for produced water to be reinjected into wells or treated to remove contaminants (Helmy and Kaderna 2015; Yusta-Garcia et al 2017). More effective ways of treating produced water are being developed but, according to Jiménez et al (2018), regulatory frameworks around the quality of treatment still do not adequately address the full range of harmful substances that may persist in the treated water.…”

Tropical peatlands store globally significant quantities of carbon and are ecologically and culturally important, but little is known about their vulnerability to oil and gas exploration and extraction. Here, we analyse the exposure of tropical peatlands to the activities of the petroleum industry and review what is known about the sensitivity of peatlands to these activities. We find that 8.3% (107,000 km2) of the total area of tropical peatlands overlaps with a 30-km buffer area around oil and gas infrastructure. Major areas of overlap include the Sumatra Basin (Indonesia), the Niger Delta (Nigeria) and the Putumayo-Oriente-Marañón Basin (Peru/Ecuador/Colombia). Documented environmental impacts include deforestation and habitat loss associated with the exploration and development of oil fields, and contamination from spills of oil and produced water (well brine). Peatlands, and the ecosystem services they provide, are sensitive to these impacts due to unique aspects of their ecology and hydrology, the easy spread of contamination by flowing water, the long-term storage of contaminants in peat, and the slow degradation of oil under anoxic, waterlogged conditions. Given the potential negative consequences for human health, resource security, biodiversity, and carbon storage, we propose a research agenda to provide an improved evidence base to support effective governance.

“…Onwukwe et al [21] Revealed data on oil and gas management in a Cross-Sectional study that "Effective waste management is an ongoing process within which the waste management plan can be revised as new waste management practices or technological options of responsible disposal are identified". Kardena et al [27] Added that oil and gas exploration and production activities are responsible for a variety of environmental incidents around the world, including oil spills during transportation and distribution; waste from E & P operations in the form of oil sludge, waste drilling fluid/mud; and waste treatment plant residue (oil separator, oil catcher, dissolved air flotation); leakage from floating storage, tankers, and storage tanks. Findings from the study revealed the cleaning activities of oil and gas, which includes waste management, well completion, treatment, and stimulation fluid.…”

This research focuses on the management principles of the oil and gas waste from Exxon Mobile and Tiger Rental Guyana, and possible environmental and health challenges for the people of Guyana. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the trajectory of the face-to-face data collection process. Subsequently, the data was collected through an online questionnaire process between Exxon Mobil and Tiger Rentals Guyana. The directors of the waste management department and the employees of these two companies who work together participated in the questionnaire process. The researchers used a Qualitative Study approach to determine how waste is disposed of and treated at the Stabroek Block Exxon Mobile Operation in Guyana's oil and gas industry. The Tiger Rental Guyana, a Waste Management Company is the company responsible for the management process of waste and the sustainability of the environment. The Ground Theory qualitative approach was implemented for the data collection process, which begins by scrutinizing, classifying, and amalgamating the data of the various sources including the online questionnaire reports from the senior stakeholders of Exxon Mobile and Tiger Rental Guyana. The data collected from these companies for Guyana Petroleum’s offshore waste management process revealed that the method and practice used are in line with the Guyana rule and regular requirements for oil and gas exploration in Guyana. They are safe and viable for the environment and populace of Guyana. The Findings revealed that the most employed techniques used onshore are incineration, separation, thermal unit, stabilization/ solidification, container cleaning, and wastewater treatment implemented by Exxon Mobile. Conversely, Tiger Rental Guyana, (TRG) employs three similar methods to Exxon Mobil of incineration, separation, and stabilization. TRG also employs the use of charcoal filters and vertical infrared technology. It was discovered that the offshore research revealed that these methods are carefully thought through, taking into consideration the environmental impacts. Therefore, the researchers conclude that the strategies implemented and used were safe and viable for the environment and populace of Guyana. The waste that is not transported by Tiger Rentals Guyana is collected and treated at Exxon Mobil’s facility offshore. This research aimed to identify the exploration and production practices of Exxon Mobil and Tiger Rental Guyana waste management practices in Guyana. Waste management is an important process in this industry because of the implications for humans and environmental health. Though history has proved that measures are usually in place for best practices in the Oil and Gas Industry, companies around the world have shared their challenges, best practices, and economic benefits that came with a price tag. They have recommended that companies engaged in petroleum and related activities must be encouraged to plan and implement effective strategies for the preservation of the environment and human livelihood. Thus, the researchers recommend that the companies covenanted with Guyana would continue to employ high ethical policies and principles that are reliable and robust to protect and prevent hazards to the health and wellbeing of the populace, and the environment of Guyana.
