Prospects for the resource base development of the oil and gas industry of the Timan-Pechora province

The article is devoted to the qualitative assessment of the state of the oil and gas industry in the Russian Federation based on the context of administrative-territorial units. It was realized that the data provided by different sources differs due to the variation in the calculation methods used, and the lack of detailed regional reports from foreign agencies shows the novelty of the research. In the current research the projection of administrative borders on the territory of oil and gas-geological zoning is used. To determine the degree of the dependence of regional economies from the oil and gas industry, current data about the state of the mineral resource base in the subjects of the Russian Federation were compared with the geography of the location of processing enterprises. On the basis of the obtained materials, the classification of oil and gas-bearing territories is carried out.

This paper discusses the most important aspects of the development of the oil and gas industry in Russia. To replace declining oil production in Russia, we need to change the obsolete paradigm of the development of the domestic resource base. In the twenty-first century, the priority tasks in the search for oil deposits should be the Russian Arctic shelves and immature onshore provinces as well as unique unconventional oil accumulations (Bazhenov, Domanik, Khadum, Kuonamka Formations, etc.). In addition, special focus should be placed on the exploration of small and smallest oil and gas fields, which will be developed with the collaboration of small- and medium-sized oil businesses to ensure up to 20% of domestic oil production. The shift from extensive to intensive development of Russias oil and gas sector will require the prioritizing of technological tasks.

The Cost

While emerging as a world leader in liquefied natural gas production, overall, Australia’s oil and gas industry is disadvantaged by the remoteness and geographical breadth of our operations, our limited infrastructure and insufficient economies of scale. These factors drive up the cost of production and make it difficult for both operators and service companies to balance the trade-offs between building scale and capability. Despite our rich resource base, these structural factors make it challenging for the Australian oil and gas industry to compete globally. Additionally, traditional project development and contracting practices rely on bespoke, bi-lateral agreements between operators and service companies, resulting in inconsistencies and inefficiencies that limit the reuse of solutions and technology, driving costs even higher. This has created an imperative for new collaborative industry platforms in areas of workforce competency management and integrated activity planning, which leverage standardised processes and common infrastructure. This paper will explain how to overcome collaboration obstacles by cultivating a culture of transparency and will discuss the steps undertaken to develop trust within a diverse stakeholder group, enabling the creation of shared solutions. This paper gives concrete recommendations on how to create a new mindset around the appropriate company structure for the development of collaborative and innovative platforms that deliver more competitive outcomes to the Australian oil and gas industry.

One of the key strategic directions of the long-term program for the development of the oil and gas industry is the development of the resource base, including through the acquisition of new licenses at auctions and tenders held by Russian government agencies. To make a prompt decision to purchase a license area, it is necessary to carry out an objective technical and economic assessment. Official resources contain a minimum of initial data for making a decision, which led to the need to create a unified information system for assessing subsoil plots, accumulating information on new unallocated plots. The article gives valuable information about the main capabilities of the unique information resource, which was developed by specialists of Tyumen Petroleum Scientific Center LLC. This information resource is intended to provide the Company's specialists with a tool for rapid assessment of subsurface areas based on complex parameters of geology, development, infrastructure and economics in order to make a decision on the feasibility of acquiring an asset.

This paper surveys cross-border oil and gas mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions in recent years using a large sample of 18,179 transactions announced over the period 2000–2018. M&A activities depend on economic fundamentals, but also on sector specifics and this particularly holds true for the oil and gas industry. Therefore, we have added sector specific to the standard economic explanations of mergers and acquisitions by accounting for institutions, resources, and politics. Indeed, our outputs show that industry-specific factors seem much more important in motivating M&A in the oil and gas industry than the familiar and researched economic conditions. In particular, the pattern of cross-border M&A is almost unrelated to opportunities offered by the resource base in different countries while political, institutional, and legal constraints shape the directions of cross-border M&A. The research covers the recent trends in the oil and gas M&A transactions, strengthens the understanding of various dynamics and sheds light on the potential future directions of the M&A market in the oil and gas industry.

Oil And Gas Production

The importance of oil and gas industry for Russia is hard to overestimate. Continued leadership in hydrocarbon production and exports are cornerstones for Russian economic and political prowess as well as energy and social security. The key to sustainability of oil and gas production is, first and foremost, the resource base. In this study the authors attempted to analyze production capacity of the contemporary hydrocarbon production projects, both brownfield and greenfield, using the Hubbert linearization approach. The development of several major greenfields and the successful production maintenance at the developed fields provided Russia with record levels of production, even compared to the period of the USSR and created a potential for further production growth up to 2020. However, by 2025 this potential will be exhausted and only tapping into hard-to-recover reserves and Bazhen formation will be able to slow down the inevitable decline in production. This, however, will largely depend on active domestic development of new production technologies. The situation in the gas industry appears more favorable. Massive reserves of conventional gas, primarily in the Yamal Peninsula, provide the means to increasing annual production to over 1 trillion cubic meters. At the same time, even such a base of new reserves is not capable of completely replacing the phasing out of giant deposits of Nadym-Pur-Taz, which leads to the subsidence of production capacity beyond 2035 and the need to develop new and more complex resources.
