  • 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.

  • Experimental Study of Municipal Solid Waste (Msw) Landfills and Non- Authorized Waste Damps Impact on the Environment
    Linnaeus ECO-TECH ´10 Kalmar, Sweden, November 22-24, 2010 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) LANDFILLS AND NON- AUTHORIZED WASTE DAMPS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT Veronica Tarbaeva Dmitry Delarov Committee on Natural Resources of Leningrad region, Russia ABSTRACT A purpose was an analysis of waste disposal sites existing in the Leningrad region and a choice of facilities potentially suitable for the removal and utilization of greenhouse- and other gases. In order to achieve the purpose in view, data were collected on the arrangement of non-authorized landfills and waste dumps within the Leningrad region. The preliminary visual evaluation and instrumental monitoring were carried out for 10 facilities. The evaluation of greenhouse- and other gas emissions into the atmosphere as well as of ground water pollution near places of waste disposal was performed. A databank was created for waste disposal sites where it could be possible to organize the work on removing and utilizing of greenhouse gas. The conducted examination stated that landfills exert negative influence on the environment in the form of emissions into the atmosphere and impurities penetrating underground and surface water. A volume of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in units of СО2 – equivalent from different projects fluctuates from 63.8 to 8091.4 t in units of СО2 – equivalent. Maximum summarized emissions of greenhouse gases in units of СО2 – equivalent were stated for MSW landfills of the towns of Kirishi, Novaya Ladoga and Slantsy, as well as for MSW landfills near Lepsari residential settlement and the town of Vyborg. KEYWORDS Non-authorized waste dumps, MSW landfills, greenhouse gases, atmospheric air pollution, instrumental monitoring.

Estonia’s Divided Border Cities – Co-operation and Conflict Within and beyond the EU Thomas Lundén Boundary Theory Aboundary is a line, usually in space, at which a certain state of affairs is terminated and replaced by another state of affairs. In nature, boundaries mark the separation of different physical states (molecular configurations), e.g. the boundary between water and air at the surface of the sea, between wood and bark in a tree stem, or bark and air in a forest. The boundaries within an organized society are of a different character. Organization means structuration and direction, i.e. individuals and power resources are directed towards a specific, defined goal. This, in turn, requires delimitations of tasks to be done, as well as of the area in which action is to take place. The organization is defined in a competition for hegemony and markets, and with the aid of technology. But this game of definition and authority is, within the limitations prescribed by nature, governed by human beings.

  • 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.

  • Governing the Arctic
    Arctic Review on Law and Politics Peer-reviewed article Vol. 10, 2019, pp. 190–216 Governing the Arctic: The Russian State Commission for Arctic Development and the Forging of a New Domestic Arctic Policy Agenda Helge Blakkisrud Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) Abstract After a period of relative neglect in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Arctic is back on the agenda of the Russian authorities. To ensure efficient coordination and implementation of its Arctic strategy, the government in 2015 established a State Commission for Arctic Development. It was to serve as a platform for coordinating the implementation of the government’s ambitious plans for the Arctic, for exchange of information among Arctic actors, and for ironing out interagency and interregional conflicts. Based on a case study of the State Commission for Arctic Devel- opment, this article has a twofold goal. First, it explores the current Russian domestic Arctic agenda, mapping key actors and priorities and examining the results achieved so far. Second, it discusses what this case study may tell us the about policy formulation and implementation in Russia today. We find that while the government’s renewed focus on the Arctic Zone has yielded some impressive results, the State Commission has been at best a mixed success. The case study demonstrates how, in the context of authoritarian modernization, the Russian government strug- gles to come up with effective and efficient institutions for Arctic governance. Moreover, the widespread image of a Russian governance model based on a strictly hierarchic “power vertical” must be modified. Russia’s Arctic policy agenda is characterized by infighting and bureaucratic obstructionism: even when Putin intervenes personally, achieving the desired goals can prove difficult.

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

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.
