In the last seven years, many earth observation satellites from national agencies and commercial providers have been launched, making huge volumes of data freely available to anyone. Open-access software and cloud computing tools also have been developed by the earth observation community. Those, as well as new sensors and vectors such as drone-borne hyperspectral cameras or gas-sensing systems are opening a number of applications for the oil and gas industry in exploration, production, and environmental monitoring.

Abstract Well integrity to prevent catastrophic damage has always been a key focus of the Oil and Gas industry and Oil and Gas operators keep working to reinforce it. Today, well integrity data available throughout the life of the well remains limited. Being able to know the wellbore parameters at different depths would help operators anticipate and identify problems throughout the life of their well. In addition, knowing the exact performances of each pipe will provide operators with the actual safety margin they have against well load cases, therefore allowing them to better monitor the well, based on real well data. The integration of a pressure and temperature sensor element in tubulars is possible thanks to the use of MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) technology. Low-power consumption combined with an adapted transmission technology opens the door to the use of this intelligent technology inside an O&G well. Embedded sensors allow operators to access previously inaccessible well areas in real time. The qualification of this technology is carried out in a way as to ensure the integrity of the system and its long-term viability. This paper will present an innovative intelligent tube solution, from its qualification to its deployment. This solution will change the way wells are monitored. By combining the data retrieved by the sensors with the actual resistance of each pipe in the well, operators will be able to adjust their production parameters while ensuring the safety of their installation. This approach is new and, leveraging the latest IoT technologies, opens a new era for easier and optimized data-based Oil and Gas well monitoring.

Indonesia's population increasing from 238.5 million to 305.6 million from 2010-2035 cause increase of energy supply to meet energy consumption needs and also correlate with global warming. One of them is from the oil and gas sector. The process of it production is divided into upstream process which starts from hydrocarbon extraction to become a ready-to-sell product and downstream process comprise of processing to consumer consumption. The research objective of this paper is to find out the upstream process of oil and gas industry as well as the impact that may be caused. The upstream process of the oil and gas industry begins with land clearing, hydrocarbon drilling / extraction from within the earth, feasibility testing, development and production, distribution, storage and distribution possible to the first consumer. From these activities, the impacts are caused by the decrease of air quality mainly due to the burning of flare gas and tool mobilization, the decrease of water quality, and the deterioration of soil quality.

The article deals with the history of development of oil and gas industry in Azerbaijan. Information about the surface show of combustible (natural) gas from ancient times, seeping through fractures from the deep bowels of the earth and about gas torches - "eternal fire" are presented. The stages of gas industry development in Azerbaijan are given.

The main principles of state regulation of the oil and gas industry in the countries — leading world oil manufacturers and exporters are considered in the article. The system of state regulation in the oil sector of the Russian economy is studied. Special attention is given to the problems of taxation and usage of the bowels of the Earth. It is shown that the present system of state regulation meets neither interests of the state, nor interests of society and business. Some measures helping to increase the efficiency of state regulation in Russia's oil industry are offered.

Peru experienced the oil rush due to the discovery of reserves, but since the Camisea project was found in the Cuzco region, oil has been in decline, Peru is rated too low competitiveness rates below countries such as Ecuador and Colombia. The hydrocarbons sector accounted for 54% of the total energy tender in 2012. The oil and gas industry has advanced technologically. Today, the technological challenges are focused on taking advantage of unconventional resources having a strong focus on process safety, environmental management, and fuel quality. In a new era of high volatility in the oil and gas price, technology is crucial to maximizing the value; among them, the Modernization Project of the Talara Refinery and its process is announced. Peru is perfecting technologies to take advantage of gas and oil that are difficult to access so that its role in the Peruvian economy is fundamental.
