Background and Aim: This study aims to alleviate the microbiologically affected corrosion that occurred by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) through synthesizing a bio-based polyurethane polymer and its nanocomposite coating, silver nanoparticles (PU-Ag). Moreover, this study aims to evaluate the effect of PU alone and PU-Ag as inhibitors for adenylyl sulfate reductase (APS), which is the main enzyme for sulfate reduction. Methods: In this study, the PU was prepared from the vegetable soybean oil, and the silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with a concentration of 1% were coated to the PU, forming a nanocomposite. The PU and the PU-Ag were characterized and evaluated as inhibitors of the APS reductase enzyme. Results: The results obtained from FTIR, UV, DLS, TEM, and XRD confirmed the preparation structure of the PU and PU-Ag. Furthermore, the PU/PU-Ag competitively inhibited the APS reductase with an inhibition constant equal to 35.7 and 11 mg, respectively. These indicated the exert inhibitory effect of PU/PU-Ag upon the activity of the APS reductase enzyme. Conclusion: The APS reductase enzyme produced by SRB, which is recorded as a big problem in the oil and gas industry, such as pitting corrosion of tanks and pipelines, could be inhibited by PU and PU-Ag.

In the oil and gas industry, pipeline is the major transportation medium to deliver the products. According to [1] containment of pipeline loss to indicate that corrosion has been found to be the most predominant cause for failures of buried metal pipes. MIC has been identified as one of the major causes of underground pipeline corrosion failure and Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are the main reason causing MIC, by accelerating corrosion rate. The objectives of this study is to study the SRB growth, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 7757 due to pH and determine the optimum value controlling the bacteria growth on the internal pipe of carbon steel grade API X70. The result shows that the optimum SRB growth is at range pH 5-5 to 6.5 and the exposure time of 7 to 14 days. At pH 6.5 the maximum corrosion rate is 1.056 mm/year. Corrosion phenomena on carbon steel in the study proven had influence by pH and time. From this result pitting corrosion strongly attack at carbon steel pipe. In the future project, it is recommended to study the effect of different pipe location for example the pipeline under seawater.

The Government

Federal tax revenues from the main sectors of the Russian economy after the 1998 crisis are examined in the article. Authors present the structure of revenues from these sectors by main taxes for 1999-2003 and prospects for 2004. Emphasis is given to an increasing dependence of budget on revenues from oil and gas industries. The share of proceeds from these sectors has reached 1/3 of total federal revenues. To explain this fact world oil prices dynamics and changes in tax legislation in Russia are considered. Empirical results show strong dependence of budget revenues on oil prices. The analysis of changes in tax legislation in oil and gas industry shows that the government has managed to redistribute resource rent in favor of the state.

The article deals with the issues of political and economic power as well as their constellation on the market. The theory of public choice and the theory of public contract are confronted with an approach centered on the power triad. If structured in the power triad, interactions among states representatives, businesses with structural advantages and businesses without structural advantages allow capturing administrative rents. The political power of the ruling elites coexists with economic power of certain members of the business community. The situation in the oil and gas industry, the retail trade and the road construction and operation industry in Russia illustrates key moments in the proposed analysis.

Geopolitical Risks

The article is devoted to the consideration of geopolitical challenges for the analysis of geoenvironmental risks (GERs) in the hydrocarbon development of the Arctic territory. Geopolitical risks (GPRs), like GERs, can be transformed into opposite external environment factors of oil and gas industry facilities in the form of additional opportunities or threats, which the authors identify in detail for each type of risk. This is necessary for further development of methodological base of expert methods for GER management in the context of the implementational proposed two-stage model of the GER analysis taking to account GPR for the improvement of effectiveness making decisions to ensure optimal operation of the facility oil and gas industry and minimize the impact on the environment in the geopolitical conditions of the Arctic.The authors declare no conflict of interest
