The impact of corrosion within the refining industry ends up in the failure of components. This failure leads to closing down the plant to scrub the corroded components. Additionally, corrosion normally causes serious environmental issues, namely spills and releases. A vital resource for all those that are concerned within the corrosion management of oil and gas infrastructure, corrosion management within the oil and gas industry provides engineers and designers with the tools and strategies to plan and implement comprehensive corrosion-management programs for oil and gas infrastructures. Control of corrosion is important for continuous production and evading the well control losses. Materials to be used in down hole have to meet certain characteristics to avoid corrosion and provide additional mechanical strenght. It is potential to determine a logical series of steps for material choice, incorporating analysis of the surroundings, corrosion rate calculations, and final material choice based on established limits. Several developments have taken place in refinement the calculation of CO2 corrosion rates. Moreover, the definition of bitter examination has been reviewed and a way wider evaluation of the relevance of varied established and new materials for various service conditions has been created.

Abstract A finite element (FE) model is presented in this work that is used to analyze the effect of pitting corrosion on the CO2 corrosion behavior of oil and gas pipeline welds. The FE model contains two parts, i. e., stress calculation of the welded joint using Abaqus software, and of the chemical reaction at the welded joint using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The effect of transportation pressure, pit depth and welding material on the CO2 corrosion behavior of weld metal was investigated using the FE model. It turned out that the FE model is helpful to instruct the management and to assess the remaining service life prediction of pipelines in the oil and gas industry.

Internal pipeline corrosion due to CO2 is a major challenge facing the oil and gas industry. To protect the pipelines and equipment from the ravages of CO2 corrosion, novel sacrificial coatings can be used. The objective of this study was to investigate the corrosion behavior of Al-based alloys as sacrificial coatings to protect pipelines in a CO2-saturated aqueous electrolyte (3.5 wt.% NaCl) at 4 bar CO2 partial pressure (3 barg) and 40 oC. The corrosion resistance of Al-based alloys and thermal spray coatings was evaluated in an electrochemical reaction autoclave using electrochemical methods (potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). Post-corrosion surface characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The obtained data show Al-based alloys demonstrated promising protection against CO2 corrosion with no breakaway degradation issues.

Federal tax revenues from the main sectors of the Russian economy after the 1998 crisis are examined in the article. Authors present the structure of revenues from these sectors by main taxes for 1999-2003 and prospects for 2004. Emphasis is given to an increasing dependence of budget on revenues from oil and gas industries. The share of proceeds from these sectors has reached 1/3 of total federal revenues. To explain this fact world oil prices dynamics and changes in tax legislation in Russia are considered. Empirical results show strong dependence of budget revenues on oil prices. The analysis of changes in tax legislation in oil and gas industry shows that the government has managed to redistribute resource rent in favor of the state.

The article deals with the issues of political and economic power as well as their constellation on the market. The theory of public choice and the theory of public contract are confronted with an approach centered on the power triad. If structured in the power triad, interactions among states representatives, businesses with structural advantages and businesses without structural advantages allow capturing administrative rents. The political power of the ruling elites coexists with economic power of certain members of the business community. The situation in the oil and gas industry, the retail trade and the road construction and operation industry in Russia illustrates key moments in the proposed analysis.

The article is devoted to the consideration of geopolitical challenges for the analysis of geoenvironmental risks (GERs) in the hydrocarbon development of the Arctic territory. Geopolitical risks (GPRs), like GERs, can be transformed into opposite external environment factors of oil and gas industry facilities in the form of additional opportunities or threats, which the authors identify in detail for each type of risk. This is necessary for further development of methodological base of expert methods for GER management in the context of the implementational proposed two-stage model of the GER analysis taking to account GPR for the improvement of effectiveness making decisions to ensure optimal operation of the facility oil and gas industry and minimize the impact on the environment in the geopolitical conditions of the Arctic.The authors declare no conflict of interest
