    Problems of Urengoy Oil-Gas-Condensate Field at the Late Stage of Exploitation

    PROBLEMS OF URENGOY OIL-GAS-CONDENSATE FIELD AT THE LATE STAGE OF EXPLOITATION V.A. Istomin (NOVATEK JSC, Moscow, Russia) G.A.Lanchakov, V.A Stavitskiy, N.A.Tsvetkov (Gazprom dobycha Urengoy LLC, Novy Urengoy, Russia) Urengoy Oil-Gas-Condensate field on the primary proven deposits exceeds 12 tcm of gas. The field is situated in the Western Siberia on the North of the Tyumen region in the areas of unstable permafrost, with the severe climate conditions and with the total absence of infrastructure at the beginning of its development. Basic features of Urengoy field: - multilayer productive horizons (from the bearing Senomanian horizons to Achimov and Jura sediments) - considerable distinctive gas-condensate characteristics of the productive horizons (from practically total condensate lack in Senomanian deposits to 300-400 g/m3 of hydrocarbon condensate in Achimov deposits) - the presence of the considerable ethane content up to 5-7 mol. % in natural gas (that determines the future of gas-chemistry development in the region) - the presence of the formation anomalous pressure factor (FAPF) (so anomalous factor in Achimov stratum is 2 and over, primary formation pressure reaches 70 MPa) in some deposits - the presence of oil rims in some gas-condensate deposits. As a result exploitation objects (5-6 objects) are distinguished with greatly distinctive primary formation pressure and gas-condensate characteristics as well as oil deposits (rims), which development has a considerable peculiarity in comparison with the ordinary oil deposits. Urengoy oil-gas-condensate field is developed since 1978. In the beginning Senomanian gas deposit had been developed, then Valanginian gas-condensate deposits were put into operation, Achimov deposits are being developing now.

    Russia's Policies for Arctic Cities

    RUSSIAN ANALYTICAL DIGEST No. 129, 24 June 2013 2 ANALYSIS Russia’s Policies for Arctic Cities By Alexander Pilyasov, Moscow Abstract Although the population of Russia’s Arctic has shrunk notably in the past two decades, the region contin- ues to be highly urbanized. The process of developing sustainable, economically self-sufficient, and socially resilient urban centers requires the implementation of informed and directed policy at the federal and local level. In order to assist in informing better policy, this article establishes several categories of northern urban centers based on their economies, political situation, and social networks. The efficacy of policy is analyzed through two case studies, the cities of Muravlenko and Gubkinsky, which have experienced divergent out- comes despite their proximity and organization. Finally, some general policy recommendations are proposed for the different urban categories, based on their varying needs and characteristics.

    Russia's Arctic Cities

    ? chapter one Russia’s Arctic Cities Recent Evolution and Drivers of Change Colin Reisser Siberia and the Far North fi gure heavily in Russia’s social, political, and economic development during the last fi ve centuries. From the beginnings of Russia’s expansion into Siberia in the sixteenth century through the present, the vast expanses of land to the north repre- sented a strategic and economic reserve to rulers and citizens alike. While these reaches of Russia have always loomed large in the na- tional consciousness, their remoteness, harsh climate, and inaccessi- bility posed huge obstacles to eff ectively settling and exploiting them. The advent of new technologies and ideologies brought new waves of settlement and development to the region over time, and cities sprouted in the Russian Arctic on a scale unprecedented for a region of such remote geography and harsh climate. Unlike in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of other countries, the Russian Far North is highly urbanized, containing 72 percent of the circumpolar Arctic population (Rasmussen 2011). While the largest cities in the far northern reaches of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland have maximum populations in the range of 10,000, Russia has multi- ple cities with more than 100,000 citizens. Despite the growing public focus on the Arctic, the large urban centers of the Russian Far North have rarely been a topic for discussion or analysis. The urbanization of the Russian Far North spans three distinct “waves” of settlement, from the early imperial exploration, expansion of forced labor under Stalin, and fi nally to the later Soviet development 2 | Colin Reisser of energy and mining outposts.

    A Spatial Study of Geo-Economic Risk Exposure of Russia's Arctic Mono-Towns with Commodity Export-Based Economy

    Journal of Geography and Geology; Vol. 6, No. 1; 2014 ISSN 1916-9779 E-ISSN 1916-9787 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education A Spatial Study of Geo-Economic Risk Exposure of Russia’s Arctic Mono-Towns with Commodity Export-Based Economy Anatoly Anokhin1, Sergey Kuznetsov2 & Stanislav Lachininskii1 1 Department of Economic & Social Geography, Saint-Petersburg State University, Saint-Petersburg, Russia 2 Institute of Regional Economy of RAS, Russian Academy of Science, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Correspondence: Stanislav Lachininskii, Department of Economic & Social Geography, Saint-Petersburg State University, Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Tel: 7-812-323-4089. E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 30, 2013 Accepted: January 14, 2014 Online Published: January 16, 2014 doi:10.5539/jgg.v6n1p38 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v6n1p38 Abstract In the context of stagnating global economy mono-towns of Arctic Russia are especially exposed to uncertainty in their socio-economic development. Resource orientation of economy that formed in the 20th century entails considerable geo-economical risk exposure both for the towns and their population as well as for Russia's specific regions. In the 1990–2000s Russia’s Arctic regions were exposed to a systemic crisis which stemmed from production decline, out-migration, capital asset obsolescence, depletion of mineral resources and environmental crisis. This spatial study of geo-economic risk exposure of Russia’s Arctic mono-towns with commodity export-based economy was conducted at four dimensions - global, macro-regional, regional and local. The study of the five types of geo-economic risks was based on the existing approach, economic and socio-demographic risks being the most critical for the towns under consideration.
