Abstract The technology of simultaneous, separate operation is a mandatory condition within the framework of Russian legislation for the production of oil and gas from multilayer reservoirs, which implies a share of a load of several pumps on different reservoirs. To reduce high additional equipment costs and metal consumption of the well, an assembly of two ESPs with one engine was developed. More than forty Russian wells were supplied with double ESP system motors. The project implementation enabled using separate simultaneous operations with more wells and developing reservoirs more accurately. It became possible to develop each reservoir by employing separated data from gauges connected to two reservoirs. The use of two side motors allows using such complicated technologies as separate simultaneous operations for even small and previously not economically achievable reservoirs. According to well inflow calculations, using the most suitable pump, the correct amount of liquid from each reservoir has been produced during these operations.

Exploration And Development

Rapidly rising costs have created operating and investment problems for companies involved in the Australian hydrocarbon resource industry. Expenditure in this area has declined markedly in constant dollar terms, an adverse trend given Australia's outlook for increasing reliance on imported crude oil in the 1980's.Costs in hydrocarbon exploration appear to have risen in excess of general inflation in the Australian economy. This situation may be attributed to the strong upward movement in wages and equipment costs, and in some cases, the low level of domestic exploration in the mid-1970's.Capital costs for hydrocarbon development and pipeline projects in Australia have also escalated, a trend caused by rising wage levels in project construction and increases in equipment costs. Additional factors such as design alterations, environmental considerations and labour disputes, can also add significantly to costs. Large scale hydrocarbon projects, which have long lead times, are susceptible to inflationary trends.Increasing amounts of funds are required for exploration and development as a result of the rising cost trend. However, difficulty is being experienced in raising funds through capital and equity markets, as well as retained earnings. A key factor in securing adequate funds is profitability, which is largely determined by the State and Federal Governments. For the smaller oil and gas producers, the past profitability record has been inadequate, although the improvement in recent years should continue because of higher oil and gas prices.Costs may be expected to continue to increase in hydrocarbon exploration and development, but probably at a lower rate than experienced in the mid- 1970's. The future viability of the hydrocarbon sector is dependent on a favourable investment environment and higher profitability to offset the considerable risks in exploration and escalation in costs.

The paper presents the issue of gas fracturing technology in gas mining, which is being used increasingly to boosting oil and gas extraction. The topic is related to the implementation of the NCBIR project under the Applied Research Program No. PBS3 / B2 / 20/2015. The results of the final phase of the project implementation are presented - functionality tests of the perfogenerator models under fail conditions, in the cladding pipe of the borehole in the concrete block, on the IPO blasting target in the Krupski Młyn. The positive results from these tests endorsed the performance of the experimental parts of the fuel elements, for EU-type certification tests. The IPO obtained the certificate and permits for use for practical forms of perfogenerator fuels. The borehole tests with the use of the new structure of the PERFOGENERATOR PRFG-114 (2.4 m), as part of the final industrial phase of the project, were made on several wells in the Przemyśl region (Q3 2017).

For a long time Australian waters have been known to contain huge stranded gas reserves, and many of these reserves are now planned to be unlocked by recent technological advances. Recent development of technology and application has seen the emergence of new floating development applications ranging from large scale gas-condensate FPSOs, FLNG, semi-submersibles supporting mega sized gas-condensate topsides, through to dynamically positioned drill ships. Traditional safety engineering approaches to FPSO design in the past 20 years that apply to oil developments often do not automatically apply to these new floating applications. Inherent safety risks fundamental to the new application and their associated practical solutions need to be understood and worked using a first principles approach. This may often result in the implementation of solutions involving counter intuitive philosophies and safety in design practices. The safety challenges of new floating applications involve engineers, fabricators, operators and certifying agencies and apply across all phases of project implementation: assessment, selection, definition, execution and operation. This paper maps out some of the key challenges and risks associated with the new floating structure applications. It also lays out the need for integrated, innovative thinking not only in the early project phases but also in the design processes, fabrication, testing and certification phases. It also describes the requirement for industry participation in Australia as the ever-increasing pressure to fast track project implementation continues, and the Australian oil and gas industry begins to receive many first of a kind applications.

ABSTRACT Clean Atlantic Associates was established by the petroleum operating companies with oil and gas leases in the Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic areas of the outer continental shelf. As lease sales are held in other Atlantic OCS areas, Clean Atlantic Associates will expand into these areas. The purpose of this association is to provide a stockpile of equipment for member companies to use in the event of an oil spill emergency, and to provide trained manpower to maintain and operate the equipment. To date, about $1.4 million has been spent for containment and cleanup equipment for the Mid-Atlantic area. Another $2.9 million has been authorized for the purchase of additional equipment for the North and South Atlantic lease areas. A base has been established at Davisville, Rhode Island, for the Mid-Atlantic equipment already purchased. Additional bases will be established as needed. The organizational structure of Clean Atlantic Associates and the description and operation of the equipment stockpiled are discussed. New open-sea containment booms, boat spray systems, and modified skimming systems are described in detail. Also discussed are the contingency manual prepared to assist member companies in their planning and training programs, and the training programs held to help assure the availability of trained manpower.

Introduction. The article considers the main risks (technological, geological, societal and environmental) of offshore fields development, facilities construction and exploitation with the use of subsea production of hydrocarbons. Research aim is to analyze the main risks of offshore oil and gas projects implementation, which are associated with harsh natural and climatic conditions of the Sakhalin Island shelf, their impact on subsea facilities and to develop the remedial measures for the risks. Methodology. Risk analysis made it possible to identify the main risk factors in offshore projects development and determine remedial measures that are high-priority in offshore field exploitation at the stage of design and, most importantly, at the stage of project implementation. Analysis and discussion. Based on actual data of large oil and gas fields development, an in-depth analysis of the main risks associated with the climatic conditions on the Sakhalin shelf has shown that the region’s main geological risks are: seismicity, surface gas, seabed gouging by ice and soil liquefaction. Therefore, it is necessary to use modern environmentally sound technologies of subsea oil and gas production, which are based on successfully implemented projects abroad and the experience of shelf fields development in Russian. Conclusion. Effective development of oil and gas fields on the Sakhalin shelf is possible only if in the course of project implementation the geological, technological, societal and environmental risks are taken into account and controlled based on the developed remedial measures.
