The Permian succession in the southern Taroom Trough is generally believed to be the source of hydrocarbons in the Roma Shelf oil and gas fields and the Moonie oil field. The succession is characterised by complex relationships between marine and fluvio-deltaic facies which reflect marked differences in the depositional history of the Trough.On the basis of transgressive events, the succession has been subdivided into four sedimentary cycles, the boundaries of which do not always correspond to formation boundaries or seismic horizons. Notably, the top coal in any area forms a prominent seismic reflector, but coals in individual areas can be demonstrated to occur at different stratigraphic positions relative to the major interval of coal development. These higher coals reflect changing depositional settings with time.Palaeogeographic reconstructions demonstrate a complex depositional history of sediment input onto a shallow shelf from differing directions and with different rates of input.

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.

Geological Society Memoir 52 records the extraordinary journey of more than 50 years that has led to the development of some 458 oil and gas fields on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). It contains papers on almost 150 onshore and offshore fields in all of the UK's main petroliferous basins. These papers range from look-backs on some of the first-developed gas fields in the Southern North Sea, to papers on fields that have only just been brought into production or may still remain undeveloped, and includes two candidate CO2 sequestration projects.These papers are intended to provide a consistent summary of the exploration, appraisal, development and production history of each field, leading to the current subsurface understanding which is described in greater detail. As such, the Memoir will be an enduring reference source for those exploring for, developing, producing hydrocarbons and sequestering CO2 on the UKCS in the coming decades. It encapsulates the petroleum industry's deep subsurface knowledge accrued over more than 50 years of exploration and production.

The article discusses the history of the geological study of the Aldan-Maya oil and gas region, during which numerous signs of oil and gas potential were identified. The description of oil and gas bearing complexes of sedimentary strata is given. It is shown that the prospects for the discovery of new oil and gas fields in the Aldan-Maya oil and gas bearing area were assessed quite high.

Aim. In this paper, we set out to analyse the problem of preservation of old‐growth relic pine forests under in the context of oil field development.Discussion. The Buzuluk pine forest is the largest natural island forest in the steppe zone of European Russia. Presenting a landscape isolate of old‐growth natural pine and pine‐broadleaved forests, this unique natural object received the status of a national natural park in 2007. In this territory, former oil and gas fields are currently being prepared for operation and maintenance. The Buzuluk pine forest has been a subject of intense scientific interest due to a number of preserved standards of old‐ growth pine forests. These standards were originally identified and described by G.V. Morozov and V.N. Sukachev, thus forming a basis for modern forest biogeocenosis classifications. The paper discusses the current problems of the Buzuluk pine forest associated with the need to preserve old‐growth pine trees serving as standards. The consequences of oil production are assessed, with environmental restrictions in the zones of oil field exploitation being formulated. Industrial development of oil and gas fields inevitably leads to negative consequences, includ‐ ing the loss of ecosystem stability, a decrease in biological diversity and landscape degradation.Conclusion. The preservation of old‐growth pine trees is a necessary condition for the existence, restoration and sustainable development of the Buzuluk pine forest as a single ecosystem.

In the process of extraction, collection, transportation and primary processing of hydrocarbons, the lands of the fields are often damaged. For the further operation of the oil field, it is necessary to carry out not only reclamation of disturbed lands, but also oil-contaminated lands formed as a result of accidental spills. The natural environment of Western Siberia is a fragile environment and interference in its existing balance as a result of accidental spills of oil products and pollution of land and water bodies leads to negative consequences for the flora and fauna. If the impact on the natural environment during the development of oil and gas fields during the placement of oil field facilities can still be considered as permissible, then the ingress of oil products into the environment should be considered as negative with far-reaching consequences.

This paper provides compelling evidence for the previously discovered oil and gas fields in the central, most uplifted part of the Nepa–Botuoba anteclise, to be the constituent structural elements of the Erema–Chona giant gas–condensate–oil field. The revealed tectonic, lithological–facies, and geochemical affinities within its limits attest to equally favorable conditions for the formation of oil and gas accumulations.

The widely accepted theory of the organic origin of oil and gas accumulations is practically not used to select promising areas and places for exploratory drilling. This makes us pay close attention to the alternative mineral concept of the genesis of these minerals. The purpose of the book is to show how ideas about the deep inorganic origin of accumulations of oil and hydrocarbon gas developed from antiquity to modern times, before the creation of modern mineral theory. The importance of mineral theory for forecasting large oil and gas fields, as well as for optimizing oil and gas geoecology is shown. For a wide range of readers interested in the origin of oil and gas fields, as well as the history of the development of this field of knowledge.

Among the factors to cause the corrosion in oil and gas fields, H2S is the most common and harmful corrosive medium. During oil field exploitation, enhancing the ability of the sucker rods to resist corrosion is the key measure of prolonging the service life of sucker rods and guarantee of safe operation of petroleum equipment. This paper focuses on the corrosion of sucker rod steel 20Ni2Mo in different concentrations or temperatures of H2S. The appearance of corrosive surface scanned by scanning electron microscope was analyzed and theoretic basis for anti-corrosion and material-selecting of sucker rods used in the oil fields was provided. The result shows that the concentration and temperature of H2S have interaction on the corrosion of 20Ni2Mo, i.e., with the increase of concentration under same temperature or with the rise of temperature under same concentration, the corrosion rate of 20Ni2Mo accelerates.
