  • Russian Oil and Gas Challenges
    Order Code RL33212 Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Updated June 20, 2007 Robert Pirog Specialist in Energy Economics and Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Summary Russia is a major player in world energy markets. It has more proven natural gas reserves than any other country, is among the top ten in proven oil reserves, is the largest exporter of natural gas, the second largest oil exporter, and the third largest energy consumer. Energy exports have been a major driver of Russia’s economic growth over the last five years, as Russian oil production has risen strongly and world oil prices have been very high. This type of growth has made the Russian economy dependent on oil and natural gas exports and vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices. The Russian government has moved to take control of the country’s energy supplies. It broke up the previously large energy company Yukos and acquired its main oil production subsidiary. The Duma voted to give Gazprom, the state- controlled natural gas monopoly the exclusive right to export natural gas; Russia moved to limit participation by foreign companies in oil and gas production and Gazprom gained majority control of the Sakhalin energy projects. Russia has agreed with Germany to supply Germany and, eventually, the UK by building a natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine and Poland. In late 2006 and early 2007, Russia cut off and/or threatened to cut off gas or oil supplies going to and/or through Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Belarus in the context of price and/or transit negotiations — actions that damaged its reputation as a reliable energy supplier.

  • 'CRM 53' (After EMS Treatment - 0.66%) Consistently Yielded Double That of the Parent (1.25 T/Ha for Parent)
    treatment - 0.001 M), and 'CRM 53' (after EMS treatment - 0.66%) consistently yielded double that of the parent (1.25 t/ha for parent). Further, in the trials conducted at the Zonal Agricultural Research Station of Indira Gandhi Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya, Jagdalpur, the CRM mutants performed well on both the yield and the disease scores. Based on the performance of these mutants, the Government of Assam is proposing the release of three mutants namely, CRM 49, 51 and 53 and wishes to replace the parent cultivar IR 50 with these high yielding and blast tolerant mutants.

ROW, Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack-753 006, Orissa, Email: [email protected]; ^Directorate of Rice Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad-500030, India) XA0054539 RESULTS AND PROSPECTS OF THE USE OF MUTANTS IN SUNFLOWER BREEDING Modern agriculture requires a significant yield increase of farm crops. In the case of sunflower, this problem may be solved by developing varieties and hybrids with new plant architecture, tolerant to high density conditions. Some mutants were developed to solve this problem by long-term breeding through chemical mutagenesis (1980-1995). Among them were mutants M-2006, M-2007, M-2008, which are characterized by a short leaf petiole, ranging from 1.3 to 5.8 cm, and with increased tolerance to high plant density (80-150 thousand plants/hectare). In the mutant M-1991 the petiole is absent completely. Super-early, cold tolerant, sunflower mutants (M-1700, M-1925, M-1927) which are resistant to high density growing conditions (100-120 thousand plants/hectare) and with a vegetation period of 45-75 days are of great interest for northern regions throughout the world.

However, new information from the Western Caucasus where unique geological features are concentrated in Mountainous Ady- geya, implies that man-made features in fact add value to geoheritage. Such features include a lengthy artificial niche in the Guama Gorge, accumulations of large artificial clasts along the road leading to the Lagonaki Highland and the Khadzhokh Quarry with the artificial Red Lake. These contribute to the regional uniqueness of geosites and can be classified as geomorphological, sedimentary, economical and hydro(geo)logical geoheritage types. Interestingly, these artificial features have natural analogues in the study area.

GENERAL REVIEW OF TAMAN PORTS & ANCHORAGES OF SOUTH BLACK SEA COAST (Russia) In view of the increased turnover of cargoes through the South sea gates of Russian Federation, there is a development of new ports in addition to the traditional ports such as Novorossiysk and Tuapse ports as well as limited area of Azov sea and adjacent rivers. Main area of development is Taman peninsula and adjacent anchorages. Transfers of dry bulk and liquid cargoes make this area very busy. The transhipments in these areas are mostly related to the export of cargoes, however, for some cargoes such as containers – there are also import transhipments. 3 main areas are active and busy with the cargo operations: Anchorage 451, OPL Kavkaz and Port of Taman: 2 Anchorage 451 of port of Kavkaz STS port Kavkaz at road no. 451.

  • Organic-Chlorides-Russian-Crude
    ANTARICA GROUP Surveyors & Claims Adjusters Shipping Agents & Correspondents Russia & Ukraine www.antarica.com To: Steamship Insurance Management Services Ltd Att.: Loss prevention department SUBJECT: SUBSTANTIAL PARCELS OF CONTAMINATED BY ORGANIC CHLORIDES RUSSIAN CRUDE AVAILABILITY OF MARKET GENERAL INFORMATION We have had a number of enquiries from Members IG Clubs regarding possibility of storage and carriage of crude oil cargo supplied by Public Joint Stock Company «Transneft» (further “Transneft”) pumped through the “Druzhba” pipeline, which is delivering the this cargo to the Western Europe via Belorussia and Poland. Members are offered to load and store (till further order of cargo interests) shipping parcels of this cargo, rejected by refineries in Belorussia, Poland and some other European Countries. The following information and recommendations must be issued clarifying this matter. ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM Rejection of the cargo transshipment and carriage by above mentioned countries is based on the fact of higher content of Organic Сhlorides. These compounds (organic chlorides containing hydrochloric acid and free chlorine) are introduced into the oil with reagents used in oil production processes. Till 2018, the Russian Law regulated the content of this compound in the application of oil production, namely, since July 2002, a new GOST R 51858 - 2002 was made in force, regulating the quality indicators of commercial oil, which set the standard for the content of organic chlorides in oil. However, further such regulations were canceled, and some small oil producers and suppliers began to use this compound without control. In this regard, there were parcels of cargo containing a substantially larger proportion of this compound being brought to the market.

  • Paeonia Caucasica (Schipcz.) Schipcz
    Ecologica Montenegrina 37: 43-50 (2020) This journal is available online at: www.biotaxa.org/em http://dx.doi.org/10.37828/em.2020.37.6 Paeonia caucasica (Schipcz.) Schipcz. in phytocenoses of the Republic of Adygea EMILIA A. SIROTYUK, AMINET E. SHADGE & GALINA N. GUNINA Maykop State Technological University, Maykop, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Received 2 October 2020 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 5 November 2020 │ Published online 17 November 2020. Abstract Populations of Paeonia caucasica (Schipcz.) Schipcz., 1937 growing in various forest phytocenoses were discovered and studied during the monitoring of protected plant species in the Republic of Adygea. The allocation of the species to a certain range of altitudes above sea level and types of communities were defined. The ontogenetic structure and states of plants were identified, and the state of P. caucasica populations was assessed. Key words: distribution, ecological features, reproduction, populations, numbers, ontogenetic structure, limiting factors. Introduction The Republic of Adygea is located in the Northwest Caucasus, in one of the most complex natural regions of the Caucasus with a diverse flora (Fig. 1). The geographical position of the Republic has resulted in the presence of several geographical zones and vertical vegetation belts, significant landscape, phytocenotic and floristic diversity, as well as a high level of endemism and relict flora on its territory (Shadge et al. 2019, Sirotyuk 2019). According to M.D. Altukhov (Altukhov 1985) there are about 350 endemic Caucasian species in the Northwest Caucasus, which form the "face" of the flora and reflect its long-term evolution. The specially protected natural territories occupy about 30% of the territory of the Republic of Adygea and 14% of its lands are classified as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site "Western Caucasus" (Zhane 1999).
