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. -
Analysis of the Constructive Features of the Earth Dam
MATEC Web of Conferences 196, 02002 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819602002 XXVII R-S-P Seminar 2018, Theoretical Foundation of Civil Engineering Analysis of the Constructive Features of the Earth Dam Mikhail Balzannikov1, 1Samara State University of Economics, 443090 Samara, 141 Sovetskoi Armii St, Russia Abstract. The article considers the earth dam of the run-of-river unit – Kuibyshev hydroelectric power station on the Volga river (Russia). The main parameters of the earth dam, peculiarities of its erection and operation are described. The article notes the importance of ensuring a high degree of reliability of water structures constructed near major cities. It is especially important to monitor the condition of retaining structures with long service life. The factors influencing the change of the initial design conditions of operation of the Kuibyshev run-of-river unit dam are discussed. The results of examination of the geometric parameters of the body of the dam, performed at different periods of its maintenance, are analyzed. Examination results revealed significant deviations of the elevation marks of the earth dam surface on the upstream side from the design values. Possible causes of the discrepancy between these parameters and the design solutions are considered. The conclusion is drawn that the most likely reason for these features of the dam design lies in the initial incompleteness of construction. The measures for carrying out repair work to improve the reliability of the earth dam are being recommended. 1 Introduction At present, ensuring reliable operation of retaining water structures is a very urgent requirement for both operating enterprises and design organizations [1, 2]. -

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.

Environmental Problems of Agricultural Land Use in the Samara Region
DOI: 10.22616/j.balticsurveying.2019.010 ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND USE IN THE SAMARA REGION Zudilin Sergey, Konakova Alyona Samara State Agricultural Academy, Russia Abstract The zones of ecological trouble cover about 15% of the territory of Russia, where the main production capacities and the most productive agricultural lands are concentrated. The Samara region is characterized by a distinct natural zonality from a typical forest-steppe in the North with a forest cover close to 30%, to an open dry steppe in the South with a natural forest cover of only 0.1...0.2%. The article presents an analysis of land use in the Samara region on the example of the Borsky municipal district. Research methods include environmental analysis and statistical data analysis.The article presents an analysis of the land use of the Borskiy municipal district. During zoning, the territory of the district is divided into the northern, central and southern parts. Assessment of environmental and economic parameters showed heterogeneity of the territory and the need for detailed consideration of climatic, soil, economic conditions in the design of landscape optimization systems, even in the municipal area. In general, the district's land fund experiences an average anthropogenic load, the ecological stability of the territory as a whole is characterized as unstable stable. In comparison with other areas of the Central MES, the municipal Borskiy district belongs to the category with an average ecological intensity with a stabilization index of 0.59 units due to the beneficial influence of the Buzuluksky area. Key words: anthropogenic, influence, factor, ploughing of the territory; ecological stability of the territory Introduction The development of agriculture and agriculture in General puts the issues of improving the use of land resources at the forefront in the overall system of measures aimed at improving the efficiency of public production. -
Warmer Urban Climates for Development of Green
DOI: 10.15356/2071-9388_04v09_2016_04 Igor Esau1*, Victoria Miles1 1 Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center/Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, Thormohlensgt. 47, 5006, Bergen, Norway *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] WARMER URBAN CLIMATES ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN SPACES 48 IN NORTHERN SIBERIAN CITIES ABSTRACT. Modern human societies have accumulated considerable power to modify their environment and the earth’s system climate as the whole. The most significant environmental changes are found in the urbanized areas. This study considers coherent changes in vegetation productivity and land surface temperature (LST) around four northern West Siberian cities, namely, Tazovsky, Nadym, Noyabrsk and Megion. These cities are located in tundra, forest-tundra, northern taiga and middle taiga bioclimatic zones correspondingly. Our analysis of 15 years (2000–2014) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data revealed significantly (1.3 °C to 5.2 °C) warmer seasonally averaged LST within the urbanized territories than those of the surrounding landscapes. The magnitude of the urban LST anomaly corresponds to climates found 300–600 km to the South. In the climate change perspective, this magnitude corresponds to the expected regional warming by the middle or the end of the 21st century. Warmer urban climates, and specifically warmer upper soil layers, can support re-vegetation of the disturbed urban landscapes with more productive trees and tall shrubs. This afforestation is welcome by the migrant city population as it is more consistent with their traditional ecological knowledge. Survival of atypical, southern plant species encourages a number of initiatives and investment to introduce even broader spectrum of temperate blossoming trees and shrubs in urban landscapes. -

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. -
