This article discusses the economic benefits of uranium mining, as well as its environmental and health impacts. Sustainable development includes several aspects: energy, water, the environment, food and the economy, and ensuring each of these aspects is a serious problem. Energy is at the center of other aspects of sustainability, as it has a direct relationship with water, food, and the environment. Uranium is Kazakhstan’s top priority in the global energy market. In the world, there are different opinions on the development of uranium production, increasing the value of atomic energy. Apparently, this should be preceded by a crisis in the field of oil and gas production in recent years, in connection with which the world energy market should have a diversified course depending on various energy sources. Kazakhstan is a country rich in uranium. In addition, over the years of independence, we have increased production almost four times and maintain leadership in the world. Therefore, uranium production is the most important advantage of our global energy space today.

Hydraulic fracturing emerges currently, all over the world, as one of the more strategic techniques used by companies in the oil exploitation sector. This technique is characterized by its high productivity and profit in relation to conventional methods of hydrocarbon exploitation. However, in many countries, as is the case of Brazil, there are several divergences considering the employment of this methodology. Many renowned researchers attest that there are several irreversible environmental impacts generated by the use of this methodology. Among the main environmental impacts are the risk of groundwater level contamination, the risk of surface subsidence, and the risk of the environment contamination with fluids used in the process of the oil and gas extraction.

Riser-slugging is a flow regime that can occur in multiphase pipeline-riser systems, and is characterized by severe flow and pressure oscillations. Reducing undesired slugging effects can have great economic benefits. Recently, control methods have been proposed to conquer slugging flow problems in pipeline risers. The advantages of using a control system are that it can be installed on existing oil and gas production facilities with no need for expensive equipment and no significant pressure drop is imposed to the system.In this work, a predictive control system based on Neural Network (NN) model of process is developed for handling and suppressing riser-slugging. An ANN model of the plant is used to predict future response of the nonlinear process. Storkaas dynamic model (Storkaas and Skogestad,2002) is employed for the process simulation. Comparing the results of this research to that of others, indicates that the proposed neural model predictive controller makes a significant improvement in the setpoint tracking especially for higher step change in the setpoint value.

Abstract An oil and gas production facility in the western desert of Egypt was investigated for possible radiation risks due to the routine operation. Radium-226, Radium-228 and Potassium-40 were assessed in the soil samples collected from the adjacent soakaway pond. The average 226Ra, 228Ra and 40K activity concentrations were 881.0 ± 42.0, 966.0 ± 43.0 and 143.0 ± 8.0 Bq kg−1, respectively. Both 226Ra and 228Ra were above the world ranges, while 40K was within the world range. Water samples from the facilities effluent’s produced water showed elevated levels of both radium isotopes. The effective doses at three different points on the separator outer surfaces over the period between 1995 and 2014 were assessed. The maximum reading was 5.4 μSv h−1 on 2014. The time has significantly contributed to the enhancement of the effective dose readings. However, they are still within the expected range encountered in similar studies reported by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Кратко рассмотрена история создания искусственных островов в мире и в России. Проанализированы задачи, возлагаемые на искусственные острова, существующие технологии их строительства. Особое внимание уделено экологическим проблемам, возникающим при строительстве и эксплуатации островов. Сделан вывод о том, что в настоящее время в России наиболее перспективно создание искусственных островов для развития транспортной и портовой инфраструктуры, нефтегазодобыче на морском шельфе. Разработанные в настоящее время технологии позволяют создавать искусственные острова в самых разных природных условиях. Лимитирующими факторами являются рентабельность и возникающие при строительстве и эксплуатации экологические проблемы. The article provides brief review for history of artificial islands creation in Russia and around the world. It includes analysis of tasks assigned to artificial islands and existing technologies of their creation. Special attention is focused on ecological questions arising during their construction and maintenance. The article concludes that the most actual artificial islands are constructed for transport and port infrastructure development and oil and gas production on the shelf. Modern technologies allow creation of artificial islands in different nature conditions. Economical efficiency and ecological questions are restriction factors for artificial islands creation and maintenance.

This paper builds on the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers’ (IOGP) Global Production Report 2019, published in November 2019. The Report provides an incisive look at the world’s oil and gas production and demand trends in seven regions: Africa, Asia–Pacific, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe, the Middle East, North America and Central and South America. By dividing daily production in thousands of barrels for oil (and billion cubic metres per year) by demand within each region, the Report provides a unique IOGP Production Indicator© (PI), which demonstrates regional self-sufficiency as well as export potential. Based on the latest BP Statistical Review of World Energy, published in June 2019, the Report draws its conclusions from 2018 data. This paper analyses the data and trends supplied by the Report, extrapolating the main messages revealed by the figures. At the core of the paper are analyses of and comparisons among the regional oil and gas PIs of the Global Production Report 2019. Through the PI, this paper looks ahead and considers the implications of regional production versus demand (both oil and gas) for each region, presenting key conclusions stemming from the PIs in different parts of the world.

In recent years the role of geo-economic factors in international relations has become more prominent. Energy resources in particular are one of the important elements of the geopolitical power of countries. Russia and Iran are both two such examples of being globally recognized as important energy producers with huge oil and gas reserves that compete amongst themselves and other producers in the global energy market. However, in many circumstances competitors also need to collaborate and work together when it comes to their common interests. This article examines the possibility of Iranian-Russian cooperation in the energy sector. Taking into account particularly the “shale revolution”, the development of the LNG industry and the unilateral actions of the United States in the world energy market, this study will argue and emphasize that the cooperation and coordination of actions between Iran and Russia in the global energy sector has become more urgent and prominent. In addition to interaction within the framework of the GECF and OPEC, such issues as Russia’s participation in the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project, the energy security of the Caspian Sea, the exchange of electricity through the Caucasus, i. e.  the creation of electric network between Russia - Azerbaijan - Iran or between Russia - Georgia - Armenia - Iran, as well as the development of Iran’s cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union in the energy sector are also factors that can lead to the development of the Russian-Iranian- relations and the strengthening of stability and security in the region

This work is devoted to the study of a new way of development of the oil and gas industry, which is due to the influence of many factors of our time. Factors such as limited resources, an increase in the anthropogenic and technological load on the environment, and the risks associated with the complexity of the oil refining process itself, require a fundamentally different solution, which is fully provided by noonomics. It is shown that sustainable development based on the principles of noonomics reduces the role and significance of material factors in the production process of vertically integrated oil companies and the oil and gas industry as a whole, highlighting scientificand technological progress in oil and gas production and their processing.

Australia's oil and gas resources industry has made a significant contribution to the Australian economy and is expected to continue to do so over the next 15 years and beyond. While oil and gas production from Bass Strait has been the most important part of the industry in the past, offshore oil and gas production has increased strongly in northwest Australia over the past decade. Future growth in the industry is expected to be mainly associated with further strong growth in gas production for both domestic use and the export market. This paper contains an assessment of some major net economic benefits from the exploration, development and production of Australia's oil and gas resources during the period 1980 to 2010.
