Most of the oil and natural gas produced in Brazil derive from offshore fields, virtually concentrated in the Campos Basin off the coast of Rio de Janeiro State. The area is also of intense fisheries interest, involving participation of hand-liners artisanal boats and tuna boats due to the fish aggregating effect of the oil rigs. In order to avoid accidents with the platform "Stena Tay", in operation at Santos and Campos Basins, in 2001 e 2002, an awareness project was developed aiming at avoiding the presence of fishing boats in its 500 m exclusion zone. This paper summarizes the main observations concerning the extent of the fish aggregating effect and the behavior of the fishing boats in the vicinity of the platform.

This paper presents the design and implementation of Transpetro’s national master station project for oil and natural gas. The national master stations allow the centralized operation of Transpetro’s entire liquid and natural gas pipeline grid from their new headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. The implementation strategy includes transferring operations of the existing regional master stations — four for oil and two for gas — to the national master. Two of the regional masters are maintained as backups for the oil and gas national master stations, respectively. The project foresees the total deactivation of the existing regional master stations as their operations are migrated to the national master. The national master stations complement Transpetro’s integrated oil and gas SCADA systems.

For more than 15 years, a significant part of the budget revenues of the Russian Federation have been tax revenues from the sale of hydrocarbons, in particular oil and natural gas. Despite the desire of our government to minimize its dependence on oil and gas revenues, the government continues to implement measures to encourage both small and large companies by providing some tax-related benefits, thereby encouraging the fields to further develop and expand.

AbstractUnconventional oil and gas (UOG) operations have the potential to increase air and water pollution in communities located near UOG operations. Every stage of UOG operation from well construction to extraction, operations, transportation, and distribution can lead to air and water contamination. Hundreds of chemicals are associated with the process of unconventional oil and natural gas production. In this work, we review the scientific literature providing evidence that adult and early life exposure to chemicals associated with UOG operations can result in adverse reproductive health and developmental effects in humans. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) [including benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX) and formaldehyde] and heavy metals (including arsenic, cadmium and lead) are just a few of the known contributors to reduced air and water quality that pose a threat to human developmental and reproductive health. The developing fetus is particularly sensitive to environmental factors, which include air and water pollution. Research shows that there are critical windows of vulnerability during prenatal and early postnatal development, during which chemical exposures can cause potentially permanent damage to the growing embryo and fetus. Many of the air and water pollutants found near UOG operation sites are recognized as being developmental and reproductive toxicants; therefore there is a compelling need to increase our knowledge of the potential health consequences for adults, infants, and children from these chemicals through rapid and thorough health research investigation.

AbstractThe 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia regulates natural recources in its particular article. Then, the Energy Law and the Oil and Gas Law regulate the state’s control of oil and natural gas. In the sectoral regulations of oil and gas, there is a public service obligation (PSO) which must be assumed by the Government and State Owned Enterprises (SOE). Meanwhile, in the SOE Law introduced entity Perum and Persero. Where in Perum entities carrying out public service, while the Persero entity to assume the role for profit. But in practice found a PSO on the oil and gas sector carried by state-run entities Persero. IntisariDalam Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia 1945 diatur penguasaan negara terhadap sumber daya alam. Kemudian UU Enegi dan UU Minyak dan Gas Bumi mengatur penguasaan negara terhadap minyak dan gas bumi. Dalam pengaturan sektoral di bidang tersebut juga mengatur kewajiban pelayanan umum yang harus diemban oleh pemerintah dan BUMN. Sementara itu dalam UU BUMN diperkenalkan  entitas Perusahaan Umum (Perum) dan Perseroan Terbatas (Persero). Dimana entitas Perum mengemban peran pelayanan umum (public service), sementara entitas Persero mengemban peran mencari keuntungan (profit oriented). Namun dalam praktek ditemukan kewajiban pelayanan umum pada sektor minyak dan gas bumi diemban oleh BUMN dengan entitas Persero.

Management of oil and gas resources or revenues from trans-boundary or disputes areas has always been an issue of controversy in most oil and gas resource-rich countries. Tanzania is among the developing countries which rise with rich in oil and gas resources. It requires more attention on how the revenues generated from these resources should be utilized sustainably. This paper, therefore, provides the current overview of the tools and institutions that offer the guidelines on oil and gas revenue management and distribution.

The offshore area northern off Rio de Janeiro State (fig. 1a) is a big oil production region known as Campos basin. In some locations oil is being exploited in water depths of A00 meters, among the largest in the world and new promising fields shall be exploited above 1000 meters. The design and operation of structures and other oceanic systems for such depths is being a big challenge for ocean engineers and the knowledge of environmental conditions is of paramount importance. Wave data is still scarce in the area mainly that concerned with directional spectra.

Este trabalho abrange o estudo de química mineral e geocronologia U-Pb de grãos de monazita, composicionalmentehomogêneos, provenientes de várias jazidas explotadas pelas Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil (INB) em placers marinhos da região de Buena,litoral norte fluminense. A área está localizada na região da Bacia de Campos e, geologicamente, pertence à Província TectônicaMantiqueira, que representa um sistema orogênico neoproterozóico desenvolvido na borda sudeste do Cráton São Francisco. As idades UPbobtidas por LA-ICP-MS abrangem um intervalo entre 486 Ma e 579 Ma, sendo que as idades mais jovens são de grãos de monazitas ricosem cério. Por outro lado, as idades mais antigas correspondem a grãos de monazitas com tendência à composição cheralítica, nos quaisocorre um enriquecimento principalmente em CaO e ThO2. A comparação dessas idades com informações geológicas regionais permiteinferir as suítes G2 (granitos granada-biotita gnaisse foliado) e G3 (leucogranitos, não deformados, encaixados em G2) como rochas-fonteda população de monazita mais antiga, suítes estas relacionadas com o arco sin-colisional desenvolvido simultaneamente aometamorfismo e à deformação regional Neoproterozóica. Já a população de monazita mais jovem pode ser proveniente de corposgraníticos das suítes G4 (plútons magmáticos zonados) e G5 (ballons magmáticos), representantes das fases pós-colisionais.Palavras-chave: Monazita, quimica mineral, idades U-Pb, LA-ICP-MS. ABSTRACTMINERAL CHEMISTRY AND U-Pb AGES OF MONAZITE FROM MARINE PLACERS OF THE NORTHERN RIO DE JANEIRO STATE - Thisresearch focusses on mineral chemistry and U-Pb geochronology of monazite grains of homogeneous composition, originating from severalmarine-placer deposits exploited by Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil (INB), in Buena, northern Rio de Janeiro State. Buena is located close tothe Campos Basin and related to the geological context of the Mantiqueira Tectonic Province, which represents a neoproterozoic orogenicsystem developed in the southern edge of the São Francisco Craton. Uranium-Pb ages by LA-ICP-MS fall between 486 Ma and 579 Ma.Younger ages are related to Ce-rich monazite. Older ages correspond to monazite with cheralitic signature, chiefly enriched in CaO andThO2. These ages are interpreted in the geological context of the Mantiqueira Tectonic Province as rock sources for older monazites, whichare correlated to syn-collisional arc simultaneously developed together the neoproterozoic regional metamorphism and deformation. Theyounger monazites came from granitic plutons of G4 and G5 suites, related to post-collisional phases.Keywords: Monazite, mineral chemistry, U-Pb ages, LA-ICP-MS.

The oil and gas networks are overlapped because of the inclusion of associated gas in crude oil. This necessitates the integration and planning of oil and gas supply chain together. In recent years, hydrocarbon market has experienced high fluctuation in demands and prices which leads to considerable economic disruptions. Therefore, planning of oil and gas supply chain, considering market uncertainty is a significant area of research. In this regard, this study develops a multi-objective stochastic optimization model for tactical planning of downstream segment of oil and natural gas supply chain under uncertainty of price and demand of petroleum products. The proposed model was formulated based on a two-stage stochastic programming approach with a finite number of realizations. The proposed model helps to assess various trade-offs among the selected goals and guides decision maker(s) to effectively manage oil and natural gas supply chain. The applicability and the utility of the proposed model has been demonstrated using the case of Saudi Arabia oil and gas supply chain. The model is solved using the improved augmented ε-constraint algorithm. The impact of uncertainty of price and demand of petroleum products on the obtained results was investigated. The Value of Stochastic Solution (VSS) for total cost, total revenue, and service level reached a maximum of 12.6 %, 0.4 %, and 6.2% of wait-and see solutions, respectively. Therefore, the Value of the Stochastic Solution proved the importance of using stochastic programming approach over deterministic approach. In addition, the obtained results indicate that uncertainty in demand has higher impact on the oil and gas supply chain performance than the price.
