Mobility Upstream Heating Constructions Agriculture Chemicals Plastics Sales Activities Steel Pharma Hospitality Sales Activities Lighting Preparing for the journey: Oil & Gas Exploration A journey along OMV Petrom’s value chain starts with a quest under the surface of the Earth Exploring for oil and gas resources is a fascinating activity involving a high degree of uncertainty. To locate geological traps containing hydrocarbon accumulations, OMV Petrom experts take an interdisciplinary approach and use a variety of techniques and sophisticated technologies to construct a subsurface geological model as accurately as possible. This allows us to feel confident about the evidence and extent of an oil and gas accumulation before starting preparations to drill an exploration well. If the exploration well finds oil and gas, further appraisal wells can be drilled, and production testing undergone to establish if the reservoir is economically viable. Padina Nord – OMV Petrom’s geological concept successfully implemented in the JV with Hunt Oil Romania has a rich oil-related history. In 2017, it celebrated 160 years of being the first country in the world to establish industrial-scale oil production. In 1857, Bucharest was the first city in the world to use clean-burning kerosene lamps for its public lighting. Romanian engineers were leading lights in developing vital extraction and refining technology, including valve designs, blowout preventers, and lifting mechanisms, all concepts which can still be seen in today’s high- tech operations. Since the oil industry’s early days, thousands of wells have been drilled across the country, yet significant exploration potential still exists deeper underground. An example is the eastern area of Romania, where the first hydrocarbon discovery was brought on stream more than fifty years ago. In such an old oil and gas province, some might believe that it is pointless to explore for hydrocarbons nowadays. In 2014, however, OMV Petrom and Hunt Oil Company of Romania (Hunt Oil) made a significant oil and gas discovery in this area. The story started when the joint venture (JV) of OMV Petrom and Hunt Oil (operator) drilled the first exploration well. The well discovered a new hydrocarbon accumulation close to the historical fields – oil in the carbonate reservoirs and gas in the sandstones. This discovery was made possible by using the latest technological methods for subsurface imagistic investigation, together with state-of-the-art processing techniques as well as improved technologies for geochemical, mineralogical, and biostratigraphic analyses of the rocks and fluids. Following successful well testing, the JV partners decided to start experimental production with the purpose of collecting sufficient data required to enable the decision to move forward with field development. In 2015, more than 250 km2 of 3D seismic activities across the interest area were recorded. In parallel with exploration drilling and seismic data acquisition activities, the OMV Petrom and Hunt Oil partnership placed an important focus on its social responsibility towards local 6 Hydrocarbons’ journey communities. Several projects were implemented achieved, thereby allowing the new discovery’s for this purpose. They provided general “first gas production” to be fast-tracked. awareness training on health, safety, and social In June 2017, the JV partners considered the topics, but also specific insights into the oil and testing program completed.

Considering the The partners invested a total of approximately proximity to the existing fields, the tie-in with the EUR 17 mn in the project area from 2014 to already existing gas infrastructure was quickly 2017. Hydrocarbons’ journey 7 Hydrocarbons start their journey: Oil & Gas Production The quest continues as we witness how hydrocarbons are brought to the surface If the hydrocarbon discovery is deemed economically viable, our team proceeds with field development and production. During this process, the project is matured from the concept stage to design and then to execution. A number of production wells are drilled while the necessary infrastructure, including platforms, pipelines, and processing plants, is built. This is a very lengthy stage in the life of the field and involves vast amounts of investments. These very much depend, among other things, on the characteristics of the reservoir, such as its location, onshore or offshore, depth, as well as type of the hydrocarbons and the production methods used. Surface production facilities optimization (SPFO): an integrated approach for a rejuvenated surface facilities landscape OMV Petrom is a company with a long tradition modernize operations using state-of-the-art in the oil and gas industry and has gone technologies. through major transformations over the years. To maintain competitiveness and ensure safe Modern operating approaches and working conditions and the integrity of aging sophisticated control methods drive the best production facilities, significant investments performance of existing surface facilities. have been made – even in the most This is especially important when dealing challenging environments – to develop and with mature fields. With this in mind, the 10 Hydrocarbons’ journey SPFO program was initiated in 2014. At that point in time, the SPFO program’s novelty was to approach the entire architecture of Upstream production facilities – by thinking, planning, and implementing projects in a consolidated and standardized manner. This program translates into measures to optimize production facilities, simplify operations, and reduce footprint. More specifically, this includes the: Replacement of aged equipment with more efficient options in terms of energy consumption, materials, repairs, and lower emissions; Integration of automated equipment in the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system for monitoring and optimizing the production process; Standard reporting and alarm management systems; Bypassing of old production parks while diverting production to nearby modernized and optimized facilities. Since the beginning of the program, OMV Petrom has optimized more than 100 facilities (parks, compressor stations, boiler stations, and treatment and injection facilities) and in addition 4,800 wells have been fully automated to enable the integration with modernized facilities and efficient modern operations. The program has many different benefits, allowing the company to reduce costs and therefore stay competitive within the oil and gas industry benchmark. In addition, measures taken as part of the SPFO program have resulted in significantly reduced operational and process safety risks in line with the company’s HSSE focus.

Due to the success registered by the Romanian delegation there, it was decided that the second congress to be held in Romania. The idea was welcome in the oil field, but politicians were rather reserved. In 1903, the political circles refused organizing the congress. As a result, the second International Petroleum Congress was held in 1905 in Belgium. The performance of the Romanian delegation was also excellent, so it was decided that the next congress to be held in Romania. If in 1906 the preparations went rather slowly, at the beginning of 1907 they accelerated. The Programme of the Congress (August 22 - September 2 1907) was complex and included both scientific papers and documentary visits, as the ones to the city of Constanţa, to Constanţa port and to oil facilities in the area.

The prospective function of a novel energy efficient fermentation technology has been getting great attention in the past fiftyyears due to the quick raise in petroleum costs. Fermentation chemicals are still limited in the modern market in huge part because of trouble in recovery of carboxylic acids. Therefore, it is needed considerable development in the current recovery technology. Carboxylic acids have been used as the majority of fermentation chemicals. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the reactive extraction of carboxylic acids from fermentation broths. This paper principally focuses on reactive extraction that is found to be a capable option to the proper recovery methods. 1.

  • Brief History of Romanian Oil Industry
    HISTORY The first record mentioning oil from the Romanian province of Wallachia is dated 1517. In the beginning, crude oil exploitation simply meant collection from the shallow pits and ditches in the outcrops of the Sub-Carpathian area. The technique involved digging small holes where oil seeped and then was channelled through ditches towards a collecting pit. Deeper “oil mines” were dug by hand from the late 16th century to the 19th century. Some of these “oil mines” were over 30 meters deep. The industrial start of Romania’s oil industry is considered to be 1857 because of three world firsts that year. The first country in the world to officially record petroleum production. Romania was the first country in the world to officially record an oil production of 275 tonnes in the international statistics. Romania was followed by official oil production from the United States in 1859, Italy in 1860, Canada in 1862 and Russia in 1863. The world’s first refinery Romania‘s first oil processing refinery in the 1840’s was a simple handmade equipment using rudimentary methods similar distilling alcohol in a rustic boiler. Distillation on industrial scale started in 1857 with the building of the Mehedinteanu Brothers refinery. The refinery installations were primitive, with all the equipment and cylindrical vessels were made from wrought iron and heated with wood fire. Bucharest, the world’s first city illuminated with kerosene Bucharest was illuminated with 1000 street lamps. On 1st April 1857 everything was ready and working. The oil offered by Mehedinteanu brothers for public illumination had incontestable properties: colourless and with no smell, burning with a light flame with a constant intensity and shape, without smoke, ash or resin.

    NEW ECONOMY Section 151 152 150 YEARS OF ROMANIAN RESEARCH Anda GHEORGHIU∗ Abstract. Internationally, Romania is rather less known for his achievements in the scientific field. Although it has memorable contributions to the advance of the global science, there are few persons who truly are aware of the great value of science accomplishments generated by Romanians. The motivation of this article lies in the desire to make known to the global academic community some of the most significant scientific discoveries of Romanians. Since ancient times, the Romanian principalities (Transylvania, Moldavia, Wallachia) tried to develop a system of knowledge in various fields, such as mathematics, astronomy, engineering mining, milling, medicine. But very few people were truly educated mostly priests, and royal functionaries. Schools of higher education – had existed in the Romanian principalities since the 16th century. The most dynamic and continuing were the “academies” set up in Bucharest (in 1689) and Iasi (in 1707). A program of modernization was adopted after the 1859 Union of the two Romanian Principalities, Wallachia and Moldavia. Universities, commercial, medical and technical schools were established. Many important intellectuals surprised the world with their scientific discoveries. 2016 marks the 150-th anniversary of the founding of the Romanian Academy and 150 years since King Carol I (Hohenzollern Sigmaringen) ascended to the throne of Romanian principalities. A king who had not only military, political and social achievements, but above all, a big role in the advancement of the Romanian culture, technology, infrastructure. This paper is an attempt to present to the public some of the most important achievements of the Romanian scientist in the 150 years.

Prolonged or excessive consumption of unauthorized pharmaceuticals may cause serious adverse consequences on health. In this study, samples were extracted with the help of methanol and acetonitryl and the sibutramine concentrations were found in the range of 0,5 g/l. Keywords: sibutramine, GC-MS/MS, methanol and acetonitryl, HPLC-MS Introduction Amphetamines are psychostimulant drugs that produce increased wakefulness, decreased fatigue and appetite. The pressor effect of amphetamine was first described by Piness and associates (1933). In 1933, it was noted that it is a bronchodilator, a respiratory stimulant with analeptic action and was compared to epinephrine. Amphetamines described as methamphetamine and dextroamphetamine belongs to the group of drugs that potentially increase the levels of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine, euphoria-inducing drugs absorbed at cellular level. From a medical perspective, amphetamines are sympathomimetic substances, related to derivatives of adrenaline (epinephrine) in which central excitatory effects prevail.
