The transition to an innovative way of development in the gas industry is associated with deep, comprehensive processing of natural gas, the start-up of manufacturing products with high added value. In terms of proven reserves of natural gas, Russia ranks number one in the world, the demand is constantly growing both at the domestic market and for exports. Natural and associated petroleum gases of many oil and gas condensate fields in Russia are multicomponent systems that contain a number of components important for the gas chemical industry (ethane, propane, butane, etc.). The most valuable of these is helium. The purpose of this work is to study the problems and prospects for the development of the helium industry in Russia and in the world. Using the methods of economic analysis, generalization and synthesis, the authors estimated the volume of reserves of helium-saturated gases in the fields of the country and Eastern Siberia, the state of helium production, the potential for using helium in the sectors of the Russian economy, the possibility and conditions of competitive entry into the world market. As a result, they detected Russia’s technological inferiority in a number of industries, coming from the low demand for helium, the location of potential consumers far from production centers, the high cost of helium production, the lack of reliable methods of its transportation, etc. At the same time, full-scale helium demand satisfaction of Russian industries is associated with the construction of the Amur Gas Processing Plant. The demand for helium in the countries of the world is constantly growing, an increase in consumption is observed in traditional industries and in the field of innovative technologies. The US dominance in the production of helium is gradually declining due to the depletion of some deposits. The authors make a conclusion that after 2030 Russia can satisfy domestic consumption of helium to bring the industry to an effective economic and environmental level and, while reducing the cost of production, become a major participant in its world market.

Gathering system is defined as one or more segments of pipeline, usually interconnected to form a network that transports oil and natural gas from the production wells to one or more production facilities, gas processing plant, storage facility, or a shipping point. There are two types of pipeline networks: radial and trunk system. Produced well fluids are often complex mixtures of the liquid hydrocarbons, gas, and some impurities that can have detrimental effects on the integrity of the gathering pipelines. It is necessary to eliminate most of the impurities before oil and natural gas can be stored and sold. Complexity of the processing facility depends on the treated fluid composition. Environmental impacts during the oil and gas transportation and processing phase will cause long-term habitat changes. To minimize that, it is very important to implement appropriate activities across the designing, construction, operational, and decommissioning phases.

Currently, most of the world’s shale-oil is coming from the United States, but more may be needed from non-U.S. sources in order to keep the world price of oil from increasing, and yet a number of petroleum producing countries have yet to develop shale-oil resources. This article investigates why that may be. One reason for this may be the role that shale-gas development plays in the search for shale-oil. In the oil and natural gas industry over much of the 20th century, finding oil has usually been more valuable than finding natural gas because the gas has less energy density than oil, making each BTU (or Joule) of oil energy easier to store, transport and use for consumers. However, since shale source-rock often has both natural gas and oil, then it behooves a shale search process to start by looking for natural gas first rather than oil to enhance the profitability of the search process. The problem, then, is that a shale-oil only search strategy has the same problem that first plagued the oil and gas industry: What do you do with the natural gas? In this paper, we will examine how this “chicken and egg” exploration scenario has played out in the U.S. in order to draw lessons on how difficult shale-oil development will be for the rest of the world.

Progress of the global energy industry as well as resources of natural gas of Russia were indicated in this article. The main region of their development over the years is Western Siberia, where more than 80% of gas reserves are explored. It is from here that the main stream of Russian gas flows to countries in Eastern and Western Europe. To date, good prospects have been opened for the preparation of gas reserves and production in eastern Russia with the launch of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, which determined the high importance of this region, which is of strategic interest to the gas industry in Russia. The main resources of natural gas will be located in remote from the existing gas transmission system, inaccessible areas and areas with a harsh climate, where there are no large markets for the consumption of hydrocarbons. In connection with this, the search is underway for the transportation of natural gas, alternative to pipeline transportation, to the places of consumption. Three possible options are considered. According to the “General scheme for the development of the gas industry for the period up to 2030” , one of the promising options for the development of gas processing industries is the development and implementation of efficient technologies for the production of synthetic liquid fuels (GTL technology) aimed at solving the problems of developing small, mature and hard-to-reach natural gas fields. The special emphasize was made on one of the promising variants of gas-processing productions development - development and implementation of GTL (Gas to liquid) technology as a new method of production of synthetic liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas. Relevance, possible advantages, and prospects of GTL technology were also mentioned. The example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) shown the possibility of using GTL technology, using as a raw material of natural gas of the Middle-Vilyusk gas condensate (gk) field. Also shown in this article are experimental details of the study of an individual hydrocarbon gas composition, which was determined using the gas chromatography method. The conclusion was made on the Republic's Oil and Gas Complex's overall potential cost-benefit in case of GTL technology implementation.

The formation of vertically integrated companies, on the one hand, is an important stage in describing the scale of market changes, and secondly, the formation of significant structural issues of oil refining and oil transportation, as well as petrochemical enterprises. Such a complex technological decline can be explained by the lack of sufficient investment in the oil refining industry. Especially petrochemical enterprises are in a difficult situation, the lack of a stable link with raw materials suppliers, instability in the world market of petrochemical products, lack of investments hamper the development of enterprises in this field. The world market showed that in the field of oil refining and petrochemical companies their consolidation at the corporate level, as a result of which there are no prospects for the development of private oil companies, without which their competitiveness can not be increased. From this point of view, the topic of the article is relevant. Theoretical and practical bases of competitiveness of oil and gas enterprises and its management were considered. The study of the theoretical bases of competition, competitiveness and management of competitiveness, as well as factors influencing competitiveness, allowed to describe competitiveness in a comparative degree. You can note such factors that affect the competitiveness of the enterprise, as the competitiveness of products, the competitiveness of technology and the competitiveness of personnel.

To meet the requirements of Federal Law № 123-FZ dated July 22, 2008 «Technical Regulations on fire safety requirements», it is required to determine the estimated time of people evacuation and rescue from the hazardous production facility. To solve this problem, an experimental study of the processes of people evacuation and rescue from the structure of the real gas processing plant was conducted. Evacuation and rescue were carried out from the sections of the pipe rack most remote from the exits from it. The ways for the evacuation and rescue included both horizontal parts and stairs. Rescue was carried out using special stretchers, in which there was a dummy imitating an injured person. The time of evacuation and rescue was determined when moving both down and up, which can take place at the enterprises of the oil and gas industry. The time of movement in different sections was determined by the stopwatches. Based on the measured time and the parameters of the sections along which the movement took place, the movement speeds during evacuation and rescue were found. The evacuation experiments involved untrained people, while the rescue experiments involved professional rescuers. The average movement speeds in the evacuation simulation were as follows: down the stair — 100 m/min, up — 44 m/min, along the horizontal section — 193 m/min. The average movement speeds with a victim during the simulation of rescue were the following: down the stair —22 m/min, up —16 m/min, along the horizontal path — 102 m/min.

The Cost

Australia is poised to imminently become the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer. The prices realised for Australia’s natural gas, whether for export LNG or domestic consumption, dictate the level of revenues and, ultimately, the profitability and returns, of the gas producers. A rational producer will seek to maximise the price or return for the gas it supplies. A portion of a producer’s remuneration for its gas is then shared with the community via taxes and royalties. In Australia, these imposts are triggered at different taxing points, hence necessitating a determination of what the gas is worth at each point. Typically, for royalties, it is the wellhead value; for the petroleum resource rent tax, it is either the value at the domestic gas processing plant outlet or the value of feed gas just before liquefaction; and, for income tax, it is the proceeds or consideration for the gas when sold or exported. Wherever related party transactions occur, the price must be set at arm’s length and reflect market realism. Where gas must be valued at a point devoid of an actual sale, finding a suitable comparable price can be challenging. In such circumstances, pricing options include the cost-plus, the netback and the profit-split methods. Each has its own merits and limitations, and incorporates elements that are susceptible to disputation. Gas producers should consider engaging proactively with the revenue authorities to agree a gas pricing model upfront to mitigate latent tax liabilities if the pricing approach adopted is subsequently challenged.
