Summary This study estimates the near-term market electricity-generation potential of water produced as a byproduct from active oil and gas operations. A geographic information system (GIS) was developed to combine oil- and gas-well location, depth, and water-production information from 2.5 million wells (half a million of which were identified as active, producing wells) with geothermal-resource maps and to estimate the power-generation potential of the coproduction resource. The study found that the near-term market potential for the coproduction resource from active oil and gas wells is approximately 300 MW of electrical output (MWe), which is less than suggested in previous studies.

The designing level of oil and gas well hole structure and application in superdeep well with analysis of material properties play a key role in the expected production target to superdeep oil and gas wells. This paper introduces the hole structure of standard casing size series, main problems in superdeep wells with analysis of material properties, and solving means such as: using liner as production casing, cementing under small clearances of borehole-casing annulus and intermediate casing-production casing annulus, reaming and close clearance hole structure, analysis of material properties and so on. By application, the study above has a good practicality.

Andrusenko E.N. Minimization of the cost of oil and gas borehole by the methods of linear and nonlinear programming. Visnyk National Transport University. Series «Economical sciences». Scientific and Technical Collection. - Kyiv: National Transport University, 2020. - Issue 2 (47). The task is posed of constructing optimal trajectories of oil and gas wells by linear and nonlinear programming methods, as well as the theory of optimal control. The object of study is the geometry of the axial line of deep directional, horizontal and branching trajectories of oil and gas wells. The purpose of the work is to build the optimal trajectory of an oil or gas well, ensuring its minimum cost, minimum length and minimum values of its construction parameters. A technique was developed for optimizing the geometry of the trajectory of an oil or gas well using the methods of optimal control theory. Cases of the formulation of the Lagrange, Mayer, and Boltz problems are considered under various (linear and nonlinear) constraints on the values of phase variables and control functions.
