Macroeconomy 6 Economic growth in the leading economies of the world 2005-2015, % ch. y/y In 2015 the global economy faced the new slowdown: its growth equaled rate only of 3.1%. That was the worst result since 2002, except the crisis of 2008-2009. Growth rates in emerging economies are going down for the fifth consecutive year, while developed countries demonstrated in 2015 the most rapid upturn for the last 5 years. The dynamics of developing countries was supported by India: for the first time in the XXI century India overcame China in terms of economic growth indicators, and that relation between the two economies will (most probably) remain stable, due to Chinese structural economic downturn.

The United States has imposed sanctions on Russia mainly in response to Russia’s 2014 invasion of Cory Welt, Coordinator Ukraine, to reverse and deter further Russian aggression in Ukraine, and to deter Russian Specialist in European aggression against other countries. The United States also has imposed sanctions on Russia in Affairs response to (and to deter) election interference and other malicious cyber-enabled activities, human rights abuses, the use of a chemical weapon, weapons proliferation, illicit trade with North Korea, and support to Syria and Venezuela. Most Members of Congress support a robust Kristin Archick Specialist in European use of sanctions amid concerns about Russia’s international behavior and geostrategic intentions. Affairs Sanctions related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are based mainly on four executive orders (EOs) that President Obama issued in 2014. That year, Congress also passed and President Rebecca M. Nelson Obama signed into law two acts establishing sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Specialist in International Ukraine: the Support for the Sovereignty, Integrity, Democracy, and Economic Stability of Trade and Finance Ukraine Act of 2014 (SSIDES; P.L. 113-95/H.R. 4152) and the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 (UFSA; P.L. 113-272/H.R. 5859).

The overall purpose of this study was, for the surveyed facilities, to identify and conduct a pre-feasibility assessment of practicable flare and vent gas reduction opportunities in terms of their magnitude, most suitable control option, feasibility, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, secondary environmental benefits and energy conservation. The surveyed facilities were selected by Operator No. 1 as being representative of sites likely to offer such opportunities. Key Environmental and Economic Analysis Assumptions All technical, environmental and economic analyses were performed using Clearstone’s web- based source-simulation and data-management application, CSimOnline.

Complete decomposition of hydrocarbons results in the formation of gaseous hydrogen and solid carbonaceous by-product. The process is complicated by the methane formation reaction when the released hydrogen interacts with the formed carbon deposits. The present study is focused on the effects of the reaction mixture composition. Variations in the inlet hydrogen and methane concentrations were found to influence the carbon product’s morphology and the hydrogen production efficiency. The catalyst containing NiO (82 wt%), CuO (13 wt%), and Al2O3 (5 wt%) was prepared via a mechanochemical activating procedure. Kinetics of the catalytic Citation: Vedyagin, A.A.; Mishakov, process of hydrocarbons decomposition was studied using a reactor equipped with McBain balances.

  • Associated Petroleum Gas Utilisation in Russia
    ASSOCIATED PETROLEUM GAS UTILISATION IN RUSSIA ABOUT ASSOCIATED Associated petroleum gas (APG) is the gas dissolved in oil fluids, which contains methane, a common natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) used as fuel or raw materials for deep conversion. Below is the overview PETROLEUM GAS of all APG utilisation methods focusing on the per unit costs, economic benefits and environmental impacts. HOW IT WORKS After the extraction of oil fluids, they undergo special treatment to remove all by-products, including water, sulphur and associated gas. Without such treatment, the oil will not be allowed into the OILOIL main oil pipeline due to the technical requirements. Once APG has been separated from the oil, it BLENDBLEND needs to be further utilised or disposed of. It is forbidden to simply release the associated gas into atmosphere, as it is highly inflammable and can even explode.

  • Potential Utilization of Iraqi Associated Petroleum Gas As Fuel for SI Engines
    Volume 14, Number 3, September. 2020 ISSN 1995-6665 JJMIE Pages 349 - 359 Jordan Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Potential Utilization of Iraqi Associated Petroleum Gas as Fuel for SI Engines Jehad A. A. Yamina, Eiman Ali Eh Sheetb aMechanical Engineering Department, School of Engineering, The University of Jordan, Amman 11942, Jordan bEnergy and Renewable Energies Technology Center, University of Technology-Iraq, Baghdad 10066, Alsenaa Street, Iraq Received October 19 2019 Accepted August 31 2020 Abstract An engine modelling study was conducted to investigate the relative change in performance and emissions of a 4-stroke, spark-ignition engine using Iraqi Associated Petroleum Gas as fuel. The research was done using a well-verified simulation software Diesel-RK. The data available for Ricardo E6/T variable compression ratio spark-ignition engine was used to conduct this study. The performance of the engine using associated petroleum gas was compared with those for gasoline, natural gas, and the average properties of the natural gas in Europe. The performance parameters studied were engine power, thermal efficiency, oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbon, and carbon monoxide levels. The study showed that the Iraqi associated petroleum gas could not be used “as is” if the aim is to cut down pollution. The main advantage is the absence of sulfur in the gas, which is present in the gasoline used in Iraq. There is a significant rise in NOx levels, a reduction in UHC, and also a rise in CO levels when using APG fuel. Further, there is an average reduction in engine power of about 10% with the associated gas compared with gasoline.
