It is rich in content, has high professional standard and attractive design. For the profitability of the work and knowledge in each article it is important to get the published articles in the Magazine to be widely read by MOL Group colleagues, above all to all those professionals and organisational units who are affected by the content of the articles. I strongly believe that this publication is an important channel of sharing knowledge within MOL Group. As such it is a source of important new values. In the following period of MOL Scientific Magazine I expect proactivity, deep and high standard research and analysing work of my colleagues. I also count on the professional support of my leader partners and on the motivation and recognition of the professional writing of my colleagues. I count on the interest and feedback of our readers, encouraging DEAR READERS thinking together in the mutually important This has been the seventh year for MOL Group topics. Scientific Magazine to be published in a new form, both in content and in design. In the last period the Magazine went through a continuous development. After a transition period English language is utilised thoroughly, expressing our company’s international quality and making the reading of the József Molnár articles possible to all of the interested employees Chairman of the Editorial Board of MOL Group. According to the intentions of the editors, the content of the articles became more diversified, covering all of our company’s business and functional activity, along with the activities of the different subsidiaries. It is good to see that the number of authors is increased and we are able to read more articles from the professionals of the younger generation as well. Besides the electronic form, which is good for a wide reach of people within MOL Group and outside as well, we have reserved the printed edition of the Magazine in a limited number. 4 Messages from WPC21, Moscow MESSAGES FROM THE ‘OLYMPICS OF THE OIL INDUSTRy’1 ON THE WORLD PETROLEUM COUNCIL countries.

The stratigraphy of the formation is re-evaluated by applying a multidisciplinary approach, which includes chemostratigraphy, mineralogy, palynology, Sm–Nd isotopes, petrophysics and sedimentology, to well 44/21-3, as it has encountered a thick, relatively complete section through the Schooner Formation. The formation is divided into three chemo- stratigraphical units (S1, S2 and S3) and eleven sub-units on the basis of variations in the mudstone and sandstone data, these variations being linked to changes in provenance, depositional environment and climate. The chemostratigraphical zonation is compared with the biostratigraphical zonation of the same section – heavy-mineral data confirm the sediment source, and Sm– Nd isotope data provide a provenance age for the well 44/21-3 interval. The correlation potential of the new stratigraphical frame- work is tested on several scales, using data acquired from other southern North Sea wells and from Upper Carboniferous strata of the English Midlands.

  • Amarinth's New Export Sales Manager Secures
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 26 November 2013 Amarinth increases its foothold in the Norwegian oil and gas sector with multiple pump orders from Statoil Amarinth, a leading company specialising in the design, application and manufacture of centrifugal pumps and associated equipment to the Oil & Gas, petrochemical, chemical and industrial markets, has secured three new orders this year from Statoil, the leading operator on the Norwegian continental shelf in the North Sea. Working closely with Axflow, the largest distributor of positive displacement pumps in Europe, Amarinth followed an initial order from Statoil that was successfully completed earlier in the year with a second order to supply pumps for use in the Oseberg oil field on a very tight 24 week delivery. Amarinth then quickly secured a third order from Statoil to supply close coupled motor pumps in 316 stainless steel with API 682 seal support systems for use in the Gullfaks field, this time on a challenging 30 week delivery. Statoil requires its suppliers to follow strict processes and manage their supply chain stringently. This includes compliance with Norsok M650 which establishes a set of qualification requirements to verify that the manufacturer has sufficient competence and experience of the relevant material grades and necessary facilities and equipment to manufacture to the required shapes and sizes with acceptable properties. The foundries used to manufacture the castings also have to be approved by Statoil. – MORE – Amarinth increases its foothold in the Norwegian oil and gas sector Page 2 of 4 Alex Brigginshaw Tel: +44 (0)1394 462131 Phil Harland Tel: +44 (0)118 971 3790 Amarinth has established close working relationships with its own supply chain and had already ensured that all of the foundries used by the company in the UK are approved by Statoil.

  • Iran Sanctions
    Iran Sanctions Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs July 9, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS20871 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) Summary Iran is subject to a wide range of U.S. sanctions, restricting trade with, investment, and U.S. foreign aid to Iran, and requiring the United States to vote against international lending to Iran. Several laws and Executive Orders extend sanctions to foreign companies that do business with Iran, as part of an effort to persuade foreign firms to choose between the Iranian market and the much larger U.S. market. A formal U.S. effort to curb international energy investment in Iran began in 1996 with the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA). No firms have been sanctioned under it and the precise effects of that law on energy investment in Iran—as separate from other factors affecting international firms’ decisions on whether to invest in Iran—has been unclear. While international pressure on Iran to curb its nuclear program has increased the hesitation of many major foreign firms to invest in Iran’s energy sector, hindering Iran’s efforts to expand oil production beyond 4.1 million barrels per day, some firms continue to see opportunity in Iran. This particularly appears to be the case for companies in Asia that appear eager to fill the void left by major European and American firms and to line up steady supplies of Iranian oil and gas. ISA was first passed at a time of tightening U.S.

Revista Română de Geografie Politică, 22(2), 48-60. https://doi.org/10.30892/rrgp.222101-336 Abstract: In the EU budgetary period 2014-2020 the Hungarian Government devoted significant attention to economic development and its plan was to use 60% of EU regional policy subsidy for this purpose. In the light of this fact, the main aim of our publication is examine the spatial characteristics of the EU economic development aid awarded to local authorities situated in North Great Plain Region (Hajdú-Bihar county, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county, Szabolcs- Szatmár-Bereg county), and to point out the differences between the individual areas and settlements. As a result of our research it can be concluded that firstly the smallest settlements were in an unfavourable position (fewer subsidy applications and smaller subsidy amounts), while in case of larger settlements, the examination does not show clear results.
