Natural gas is the basic fossil fuel in the global economy. According to the information published by Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo SA in the document Company Presentation, gas consumption in 2018 amounted to 19.7 billion m3. Due to the fact that the domestic reserves of natural gas are increasingly depleted, the demand for natural gas will be satisfied by growing imports. Balancing gas demand will require precise knowledge of the volume of domestic natural gas production. On the other hand, every year the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PIG – BIP) publishes Balance of mine resources in Poland. According to the publication on the state of resources as of December 31, 2018, 298 natural gas fields have been documented in Poland, 5 in the Baltic Sea region, 35 in Carpathians, 105 in Carpathian Foreland and 153 in Polish Lowland. The balance presented by PIG – BIP for 2018 showed the state of natural gas contingent resources in the amount of 139.93 billion m3 (total balance resources). The volume of industrial reserves of natural gas deposits as at December 31, 2018 was 66.64 billion m3. It should be emphasized that all data published in the Balance of mine resources in Poland are given in normal cubic meters. Therefore, the data published by PIG – BIP do not take into account the actual calorific value of natural gas produced from various fields. Starting from 2014, the basic accounting unit in Poland is the energy unit (kWh). Due to the introduction of the settlement in energy units, the value of 1 m3 of nitrogen-rich gas produced from the fields located in the Lowland region is lower than the value of gas produced from the Carpathian Foreland fields and the Carpathians. The average calorific value of gas produced from the Lowland fields is about 8.0 kWh/m3, while the average calorific value of gas produced from the rest of the Foreland is about 11.2 kWh/m3. The main goal of this article was to make a forecast of gas production from domestic deposits based on the Balance of mine resources in Poland published by the Polish Geological Institute –National Research Institute. The forecast of gas extraction from domestic deposits was made for the years 2020–2030. The production forecast was prepared for each gas-bearing region separately. In order to adjust the reported volumes to the applicable energy units, the gas production forecast for the Lowland fields was converted into high-methane gas production.

Gas Supply

In order to guarantee future supplies, PETROBRAS is deploying the Gas Production Anticipation Plan – PLANGAS which will increase domestic gas supply to the South-South East regions. Mexilha˜o Field is considered strategically for the Brazilian market gas supply chain, as it is one of the five production complexes to be installed at Santos Basin and have production forecast for up to 15 million m3 of gas per day and twenty thousand barrels per day of natural gas condensate. Mexilha˜o platform - PMXL-1 will be installed at 172 meters water, will export the gas production through 34 inches pipeline with 146 kilometers of extension from the off-shore unit up to an on-shore gas treatment facility, called Unidade de Tratamento de Gas Monteiro Lobato - UTGCA at Caraguatatuba, Sa˜o Paulo. The Gas Treatment Plant will have a processing capacity of 15 million m 3 per day of gas on its first stage, and will produce, as end products specified natural gas for consuming, liquefied natural gas (LGN) and the condensates, such as C5+. After processed in the UTGCA, the natural gas will be dispatched through a 26 inches pipeline up to a future Taubate´ Compression Station at Taubate´, SP, to be connected to a main gas pipeline called GASTAU. This 26″ pipeline is about 100 kilometers long, from Caraguatatuba to Taubate´. This paper intent to present the implementation of such enterprise, where it is affecting at least three different segments within PETROBRAS. The main challenge will be to integrate different requirements and specifications from those three segments and their supply chain, in ways that the overall figure does not impact the enterprise and the time schedules, requirements and operation wise work. Those three segments E&P, Gas and Energy BU, Transport, will also interact with a fourth player, PETROBRAS Engineering department, responsible to contract the engineering design, construction and assembly of all parts, following each segment standards. The main goal of such work is to achieve a process data real time collection, visualization and operation, coming from different sources as gas pipelines, process operations and measurement, with efficiency and reliability to fulfill each segment requirements in an integrated way that no duplication or waste of money and time occurs.

The commodity export is the main source of revenue to the state budget for the majority of countries of the African continent, which have rich hydrocarbons reserves. Also, this fact allows the state to attract foreign investment for the overall economy development and solving social problems. However, such fossil reserves, as history shows, can also lead to economic stagnation and corruption. This scenario of a country’s economic development is called “the resource curse”. Some African countries, such as Libya, Angola, Nigeria and others, have different degrees of the identified problems. The combination of resource abundance and mismanagement can be extremely dangerous for a country that is on the path to the oil and gas sector reforms. Since the 2000s, Nigeria has been reorganizing the oil and gas sector and making more efficient use of natural gas. This country has made significant progress in reducing gas flaring and has also taken a leading position in the global LNG market. Nevertheless, it has many difficulties in promoting relevant legislative initiatives and specific ideas. Shortages on the domestic gas market, administrated pricing mechanism and insufficient infrastructure are not the full range of problems for Nigeria. Against the backdrop of optimistic natural gas production forecasts, solving these issues is important for the development of Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Therefore, the particular interest is to study the gas industry in specific countries in order to identify factors that directly affect its development. This article examines some aspects of the gas industry in Nigeria in relation to the problems and growth prospects of this industry in the country.

Abstract In 2010, the Central Institute for Labour Protection - National Research Institute celebrated the 60th anniversary of its activity. Primary objectives of the Institute have been and continue to be the protection of employees against any hazards at work stations. Among the numerous hazards, vibroacoustic ones are becoming prevailing. Therefore, one can now dare to say that the 60 years of activity of the Central Institute for Labour Protection have also meant 60 years of preventing noise and vibration in the working environment. For those 60 years of activity, Central Institute for Labour Protection has been associated with outstanding acousticians and vibration specialists. The first chairperson of the Scientific Council of the Central Institute for Labour Protection was Professor Ignacy Malecki, one of the most outstanding Polish scientists. Chairpersons of the Council have also included Professor Adam Lipowczan and Professor Zbigniew Engel and the members of the Council have included Professor Stefan Ziemba and Professor Jerzy Sadowski.

This study accommodates subsurface uncertainties analysis and quantifies the effects on surface production volume to propose the optimal future field development. The problem of well productivity is sometimes only viewed from the surface components themselves, where in fact the subsurface component often has a significant effect on these production figures. In order to track the relationship between surface and subsurface, a model that integrates both must be created. The methods covered integrated asset modeling, probability forecasting, uncertainty quantification, sensitivity analysis, and optimization forecast. Subsurface uncertainties examined were : reservoir closure, regional segmentation, fluid contact, and SCAL properties. As the Integrated Asset Modeling is successfully conducted and a matched model is obtained for the gas-producing carbonate reservoir, highlights of the method are the following: 1) Up to ± 75% uncertainty range of reservoir parameters yields various production forecasting scenario using BHP control with the best case obtained is 335 BSCF of gas production and 254.4 MSTB of oil production, 2) SCAL properties and pseudo-faults are the most sensitive subsurface uncertainty that gives major impact to the production scheme, 3) EOS modeling and rock compressibility modeling must be evaluated seriously as those contribute significantly to condensate production and the field’s revenue, and 4) a proposed optimum production scenario for future development of the field with 151.6 BSCF gas and 414.4 MSTB oil that yields a total NPV of 218.7 MMUSD. The approach and methods implemented has been proven to result in more accurate production forecast and reduce the project cost as the effect of uncertainty reduction.
