  • Petrodevelopment 2030
    Petrodevelopment 2030 Socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea A report prepared for StatoilHydro by a group of researchers from Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø, Norut - Northern Research Institute, Alta, and Institute for Economic Studies, Kola Science Centre Title: Petrodevelopment 2030 Socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea Authors: Peter Arbo, Vladimir Didyk, Bjørn Hersoug, Inge Berg Nilssen, Vigdis Nygaard, Larissa Riabova, Jan Yngve Sand and Stein Østbye Joint report: Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø Norut – Northern Research Institute, Alta Institute for Economic Studies, Kola Science Centre Commissioned by: StatoilHydro Project leader: Peter Arbo Quality assurance: Bjørn Hersoug Summary: The theme of this report is the regional socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea. The regional focus area includes Finnmark County and Murmansk Oblast. The introductory chapter explains the purpose of the study and the way the work has been done. The next two chapters provide a detailed account of the region and its basic characteristics. The general finding is that the region strongly needs a new stimulus to growth, but that it is badly prepared for receiving a coming oil and gas boom. The following chapter gives a brief overview of the oil and gas sectors in Norway and Russia and introduces the baseline scenario, which indicates the expected scale and scope of future petroleum activity in the Barents Sea. After this three scenarios are presented. They all have 2030 as their time horizon.

  • A Feasibility Study to Develop Local and Regional Use of Wind Energy on the Kola Peninsula, Murmansk Region, Russia
    1 [19] A Feasibility Study to Develop Local and Regional Use of Wind Energy on the Kola Peninsula, Murmansk Region, Russia (KOLA WIND) E. Peltola, J. Wolff VTT Energy O. Rathmann Risø National Laboratory P. Lundsager Darup Associates A/S G.Gerdes DEWI P. Zorlos, P. Ladakakos CRES P. Ahm PA Energy A/S B. Tammelin FMI A. Tiilikainen University of Lapland V. Minin, G. Dmitriev Institute for Physical and Technological Problems of Energy in the North Kola Science Centre Contract JOR3–CT95–0036 Final Publishable Report Research funded in part by THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION in the framework of the NON-NUCLEAR RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2 [19] 1. ABSTRACT The possibilities for wind energy production on the Kola peninsula in north-western Russia were studied in an extensive feasibility study. The Kola peninsula constitutes the Murmansk oblast, i.e. a region with some autonomous features, within the Russian federation. The wind resources in the region are very good, with annual means speeds up to 10 m/s on the cost of the Barents Sea. A wind atlas is produced according to the methodology developed at Risø National Laboratories in Denmark and makes it possible to do reliable wind resource assessments and produc- tion estimates at prospective sites. There are more than 30 civil and military settlements located off the common electrical network. In these settlements electricity needs are currently supplied mostly by autonomous diesel power stations. Due to long distances and difficult access transport of fuel is costly and thus power prices are high. In these communities wind turbines could provide both additional energy supply and fuels savings at competitive costs.

  • Finnish Botanists on the Kola Peninsula (Russia) up to 1918
    Memoranda Soc. Soc. Fauna Fauna Flora Flora Fennica Fennica 89, 89: 2013 75–104. • Uotila 2013 75 Finnish botanists on the Kola Peninsula (Russia) up to 1918 Pertti Uotila Uotila, P., Finnish Museum of Natural History (Botany), P.O.Box 7, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] Finnish botanists actively studied the flora of Karelia (Karelian Republic) and the Kola Peninsula (Murmansk Region) when Finland was a Grand Duchy of Russia in 1809–1918. J. Fellman’s ex- peditions in 1829 were the first notable botanical expeditions to the area. Geologically and floristi- cally the area was similar to Finland, and exploring the area was considered to be a national duty for Finnish biologists. Almost 40 Finnish scientists who travelled on the Kola Peninsula collected significant amounts of herbarium specimens from there. The specimens are mostly in H, but du- plicates were distributed widely. The collectors include M. Aschan, W. M. Axelson (Linnaniemi), V. Borg (Kivilinna), M. Brenner, V. F. Brotherus, R. Envald, J. Fellman, N. I. Fellman, C. W. Fontell, E. af Hällström, H. Hollmén, P. A. Karsten, A. Osw. Kihlman (Kairamo), F. W. Klingstedt, H. Lindberg, J. Lindén, A. J. Malmberg (Mela), J. Montell, F. Nylander, J. A. Palmén, V. Pesola, P. A. Rantaniemi, J. Sahlberg, and G. Selin. A short description is given of the biographies of the most important collectors with notes on their itineraries. Details of the collections from the Kola Peninsula are mostly taken from the vascular-plant specimens kept in the Finnish main herbaria and entered in the Floristic database Kastikka of the Finnish Museum of Natural History.

One of the projects of this kind is predictive analytics which detects negative dynamics in the operation of equipment at the early stages and, therefore, reduces CCGT operational risks. All power plants are equipped with e-Planner tool which enables additional control of the preparation process to maintenance campaign and provides a visual representation of key milestones. EtaPRO System was successfully introduced as part of the Heat Rate Management digital project. Every unit of gas power plant main equipment now can be monitored using an individual model which allows to keep a record of reasons of heat rate deviations in the real-time mode, to analyze reasons of losses and to develop a more detailed maintenance program as well as to control the quality of the works performed after the maintenance is completed. Health, Safety, Environment and Quality remains one of the main priorities of the company. We successfully implemented the SHE 365 project (Safety, Health, Environment 365 days) aimed to ensure everyday industrial safety and to incentivize employees to develop initiatives in operation, maintenance and interaction with contractors. A number of health and environment improvement plans have been implemented as part of the project. As far as the environment is concerned, the company focused mainly on decarbonization, reporting Address to shareholders 102-14 digitalization, water consumption optimization.
