Oil production, as well as the transportation of oil and gas through pipeline systems, cause the destruction and man-made transformation of the natural ecosystems of Northern Eurasia, an increase in the area of disturbed lands, and a reduction in the habitats of specially protected plant species. In this regard, the most significant measures for biological diversity are the identification of conditions for the growth of populations of rare plants in man-made biotopes and the development of methods for their conservation and restoration. 12 species (Carex sylvatica, Dactylorhiza baltica, D. fuchsii, D. incarnata, D. maculata, Fragaria moschata, Glyceria lithuanica, Listera ovata, Neottia nidus-avis, Ophioglossum vulgatum, Platanthera bifolia, Veratrum lobelianum) from the Red Book of the Yaroslavl region and 1 species (Dactylorhiza baltica) from the Red Book of the Leningrad region were recorded in the protected area of oil pipelines. Moreover, Dactylorhiza baltica is listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation. For Dactylorhiza fuchsii, D. incarnata, D. maculata, Fragaria moschata, at the risk of complete destruction of their biotopes, methods of their transplantation, repatriation and rehabilitation have been developed and transferred to the appropriate Department of the Yaroslavl region. For the restoration of biotopes on bulk sand dams of an oil field in Western Siberia, an experimental study of the wild species Leymus arenarieus as a fixative of technogenic sands showed good results.

The analysis of the modern management system of ecological rehabilitation of territories and elimination of accumulated past environmental damage (PED) objects in Russia and abroad is carry out. A special attention is paid to PED objects as a specific factor in the placement of investment projects. Some mechanisms are suggested for the guaranteed elimination of PED when contaminated lands return in economic circulation. The rehabilitation works are aimed to elimination of existing and prevent the emergence of new objects of PED. The Central chapters of the monograph are actually a review of the best available remediation technologies that are relevant for the conditions of the Russian Federation. The legal, regulatory and institutional framework inventory of PED are critically examined in the territory of the Russian Federation. It is described the experience of recovery of disturbed lands and contaminated areas and is analyzed the modern technologies of elimination of regional and local facilities of the PED. The main emphasis is done on remediation and abandonment operations by forces municipalities. Тhe main groups of PED are identified and characterized on the example of Leningrad region, being a typical Russian region with a diversified economy and a broad set of industrial facilities of the PED. The most effective technologies of elimination of PED objects are recommended. The book is intended for students, teachers and specialists from the real sector of the economy and is interested too to the system of professional development of employees "of Rosprirodnadzor, Rostekhnadzor and Rospotrebnadzor".

The Russian Federation

About 200,000 km of internal field pipelines are being operated in the Russian Federation in ten oil companies. The reasons and factors for pipeline breakdown are as follows: • Lack of pipeline cleaning; • Low pipeline workload; • Ineffective program for inhibitor protection and corrosion monitoring; • Utilisation of washing and other process water into field pipelines; • Use of non-treated water in the RPM (reservoir pressure maintenance); • Low corrosion resistance and crack resistance of steels. The regulatory documentation (GOSTs) for oil and gas pipelines has become obsolete and does not take into account the enhancement of corrosion activity of oil field media fixed in recent years. Both internal field and pressure oil pipelines at oil fields are amenable to internal corrosion—pipes fail, as a rule, due to pit corrosion, less frequently due to groove (“rill”) corrosion. ChTPZ Group CJSC ranks the second in the Russian Federation by the volume of manufacture of pipes and welded connecting elements of oil tubular goods. Jointly with research centre specialists, in the course of a number of years it has been carrying out the development of oil and gas pipelines having an enhanced corrosion resistance and cold endurance. Pipes and connecting elements manufactured according new technologies have been operating without accidents since 1996 at a number of West Siberian and other deposits.

This article provides a classification and characteristics of persons convicted for crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking. The article deals with the statistics in this sphere over the past five years. Based on the collected empirical evidence the authors analyzed the qualitative indicators of convicted drug offenders. The examination of statistical data from investigative and judicial practice on crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking made it possible to sketch a criminal profile of a person sentenced to imprisonment: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a male between 18 to 39 years, having a secondary general or vocational education. Moreover, the personality of a convicted person is characterized by his internal criteria deformation devaluing the norms and rules that express and consolidate public interests. The authors also conducted a comparative analysis of offenders convicted both in the Russian Federation and in such federal subjects as Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region. The choice of St. Petersburg as one of the objects of this research is justified by the fact that it has been among the leaders of the regions with the largest number of recorded drug-related crimes for several years.

ABSTRACTWith much fanfare, Ghana's Jubilee Oil Field was discovered in 2007 and began producing oil in 2010. In the six coastal districts nearest the offshore fields, expectations of oil-backed development have been raised. However, there is growing concern over what locals perceive to be negative impacts of oil and gas production. Based on field research conducted in 2010 and 2015 in the same communities in each district, this paper presents a longitudinal study of the impacts (real and perceived) of oil and gas production in Ghana. With few identifiable benefits beyond corporate social responsibility projects often disconnected from local development priorities, communities are growing angrier at their loss of livelihoods, increased social ills and dispossession from land and ocean. Assuming that others must be benefiting from the petroleum resources being extracted near their communities, there is growing frustration. High expectations, real and perceived grievances, and increasing social fragmentation threaten to lead to conflict and underdevelopment.

Abstract For controlling the oil field development proposed an economically efficient express calculation and visualization method of the hydrodynamic parameters current values distribution in the productive formation. The presented report shows the results of applying this technique for determining the injected water propagation direction into the productive formation (X horizon) at the «Neft Dashlary» field. Based on the calculated results, the current distribution of the injected water was visualized in the selected section of the formation. High accuracy of the calculation was confirmed by comparing obtained results with the results of a simultaneous tracer study conducted in the field conditions. During tracer studies it was tested a new tracer material, more effective than its analogs. According to laboratory and experimental studies, the addition of 0.003% of this indicator substance to the volume of injected water is the optimal amount for its recognition in the well's product. At the allocated area of the "Neft Dashlari" field, the benefits from the use of the calculation method amounted to 62.9 thousand manats. Based on the obtained satisfying results of the new method for calculating hydrodynamic parameters and the use of a tracer indicator application at the «Neft Dashlary» oilfield, it is recommended to apply these developments in other oil and gas fields for mass diagnostic of the reservoir fluid distribution in a selected area of productive formations.

The article deals with the problem of the spread of artillery weapons from the East to the West through the territory of the Eurasian steppes. Among the regions important for the devel-opment of firearms were countries with Islamic culture, which are currently part of the Russian Federation and the CIS. They were one of the most important links in the movement of new technologies from the East to Europe. Evidence of the development of artillery in the northern Muslim countries is not only written sources, but also finds of genuine medieval weapons. The author shows that the Muslim peoples of northern Eurasia have contributed to the world process of the development and spread of firearms. The article substantiates the view that in the territory of Russia powder technologies, the newest at that time, began to be used much earlier than in Western Europe. The author also identifies a number of areas of research into the history of powder technologies in the medieval Muslim world, such as sources of information, regions, landscapes, the main ways of spreading technologies, as well as terminology from the standpoint of cultural relationship of languages
