The relations between Azerbaijan and Russia have deep historical roots. For about two centuries they have been part of common state – Russian empire and the Soviet Union. Such cohabitation in the frames of one state had led to emergence of common features in development of two societies. One of these features is an important role of oil and gas production in economy. But despite of this similarity the Azerbaijani-Russian relations were not always benevolent. First of all, Azerbaijan for almost two centuries had been under Russian occupation. Even after dissolution of the USSR the relations of the former center – Moscow with the former Soviet republic which restored the independence – Azerbaijan, remained difficult. Practically from the first years of independence energy factor in the Azerbaijani-Russian relations has had the negative impact on already tense relations between two countries. During the modern period, after the beginning of gas production on new fields in Azerbaijan and after completion of the Southern gas corridor’ construction on delivery of the Azerbaijani gas to Europe, the Azerbaijani-Russian relations will expect hard times again.

Abstract Is this the end of petroleum engineering as we know it? This prescient question led to the most downloaded paper from onepetro.org in 2019. The events of 2020 resulted in massive layoffs, decreased hiring and many fewer students studying petroleum engineering. In the 2019 paper the authors claimed that the future would hold fewer petroleum engineering jobs and very different types of jobs. This paper incorporates a broader range of data and proposes some specific ways to improve prospects for the discipline of petroleum engineering. The opportunity for a near-term recovery is very high as the world overcomes COVID-19 issues, oil demand recovers and the impact of chronic underinvestment in oil and gas production looms. The world's largest producers have very different abilities to respond to a near-term uptick in demand. Energy transition pressures continue to cap growth in demand; however, demand for petroleum engineers is expected to grow under almost every scenario, but not to pre-2015 levels. Increased demand in CCUS and jobs that improve sustainability of oil and gas will continue to outpace conventional jobs. Data analytics will play an increasingly large role in engineering activities. The "Is it the end?" paper started with a question, a question that I first heard asked in 1977 at the SPE Annual Fall Technical Conference and Exhibition in Denver to 1972 SPE President M. Scott Kraemer. I have heard it many times since then and asked it many times. "Would you recommend that your son or daughter study petroleum engineering?" The answer to that question was pretty easy and unanimously positive in 1977. Keep this question in mind as we review what has happened since the prior paper came out.

This article examines and describes the regulatory framework governing the production of oil and gas in the Nova Scotia offshore. Specific attention is given to the ecological dangers posed by operational discharges into the marine environment by the oil and gas industry. The regulation of operational discharges under the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and the role of guidelines in this regard is discussed. It is argued that the attempted use of guidelines by the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board to impose binding requirements on operators is beyond its statutory authority. The administrative problems associated with these "mandatory" guidelines are also discussed.

The specifics of the development of engineering education in the Siberian region in the context of accelerated industrialization of construction is revealed. Calculations of the amount of financing higher education in the construction industry during its ups and downs were carried out. The article discusses the implementation of the strategy of the 1960s governing bodies to promote personnel training points for the investment and construction complex closer to the places of greatest need for such personnel. It is confirmed that the universities of large administrative centers began to organize their branches, departments, training centers, preferably in the regions of Siberia, where large-scale construction was carried out. It is found that the decline and crisis of construction higher education in Western Siberia in the early 1980s. It did not affect only the Tyumen Region, where the accelerated development of oil and gas production areas took place.
