  • 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.

  • 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.

In the present study, the genetic structure of Atlantic walruses (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus) occupying the Pechora Sea (PEC) in the western Russian Arctic, including walruses from Svalbard–Franz Josef Land (SVA–FJL) and East Greenland (EGR) regions, was investigated using 14 microsatellites (N = 159) and mtDNA sequences (N = 212). Bayesian-based clustering analysis identified two clusters: EGR and the other Northeast Atlantic areas. Pairwise FST analyses based on microsatellites revealed low but significant genetic differences between walruses from the PEC and SVA–FJL groups, which was supported by mtDNA analysis. FST was not significant for all sampling years, indicating a temporal effect or male-biased gene flow. Extended Bayesian Skyline Plots suggested a constant female subpopulation size (Nef) for EGR and an increase for the SVA–FJL and PEC groups that commenced around 40–30 Kyr ago, indicating different demographic histories for walruses in the EGR.

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

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.

The first estimates of winter urban heat island intensity for medium-sized cities in the Eurasian Arctic Mikhail Varentsov (1,2) and Pavel Konstantinov (1) (1) Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia ([email protected]), (2) A.M. Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Moscow, Russia The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is well studied for moderate and low latitudes. But the knowledge about the UHIs in the Arctic was extremely poor until the nowadays. It was limited by few studies for Alaskan towns (e.g. Hinkel et al. 2003), while the biggest Arctic cities located in Russian sector of Northern Eurasia were the terra incognita of urban climatology. In this study we present the first estimates of winter-time UHI intensity for the medium-sized cities of Russian Arctic. They are based on the UHIARC (Urban Heat Island Arctic Research Campaign) seasonal-scale experimental meteorological observations in the five cities: Apatity in Kola peninsula, Vorkuta in the north-east of the European Russia and Nadym, Novy Urengoy and Salekhard in the north of Western Siberia. All of them have quite similar population (from 50 to 115 thousands inhabitants) and typical dense building by medium-rise blocks of flats. Observations were made by the automatic weather stations and low-cost temperature loggers. The measurements in Vorkuta, Nadym, Novy Urengoy and Salekhard have shown quite similar values of the UHI intensity and patterns of its temporal variation. The average winter UHI intensity is 1-1.5 K, while extremes up to 6-7 K are observed in frosty anticyclonic weather.

Modern basins in this region contain relics of palaeo-basins of a certain tectonotype formed in varying geodynamic regimes. Petroleum potential estimates of the Western Arctic vary broadly—from 34.7 to more than 100 billion tons of oil equivalent with the share of liquid hydrocarbons from 5.3 to 13.4 billion tons of oil equivalent. At each stage of the development of palaeo-basins, favourable geological, geochemical and thermobaric conditions have emerged and determined the processes of oil and gas formation, Citation: Egorov, A.S.; Prischepa, migration, accumulation, and subsequent redistribution between different complexes.
