Por que recebem royalties os estados e municípios litorâneos, confrontantes com as áreas de produção na Plataforma Continental Brasileira? A indagação é relevante, sobretudo quando está sacramentado pela Constituição a titularidade da União sobre as jazidas minerais. De fato, foi a tensão de nosso pacto federativo fiscal que construiu esta possibilidade. Seriam, sim, sortudos os Estados e Municípios litorâneos das regiões petrolíferas nacionais que, diferentemente de outros regimes internacionais de repartição das rendas petrolíferas, são beneficiários de quantias expressivas destas rendas, as quais imprimem, principalmente aos Municípios, uma enorme capacidade de investimento. Tal sorte, contudo, foi parcialmente retirada dos munícipes desta região, pois as normas de aplicação daquelas rendas petrolíferas não vinculam de forma efetiva estes recursos com ações pró-desenvolvimento regional. Se são sortudos os gestores, são quase sortudos os munícipes. O interesse deste estudo é discutir a hipótese sobre a captura por interesses locais dos valiosos recursos dos royalties, utilizando como fonte básica de informação os debates realizados na Câmara e no Senado Federal, durante o processo de aprovação do regime de cobrança, rateio e aplicação dos royalties do petróleo. Palavras-chave: royalties do Petróleo: distribuição; indústria petrolífera; tributação; política mineral; Brasil. Abstract: Why do the coastal states and municipalities, bordering on the production areas of the Brazilian Continental Platform, get royalties? The question is especially relevant remembering that the Constitution validates the federal government’s ownership of the mineral reserves. It was, in fact, the tension brought on by our federal treaty on fiscal policies that made this possible. The national oil regions’ coastal states and municipalities are indeed lucky. In contrast to other international regimes on distribution of revenue from oil production, they are the beneficiaries of large sums obtained from mentioned revenues, which would allow for these same municipalities to make great investments. Nevertheless, this luck was partially withdrawn from the inhabitants of the municipalities of these regions, because the rules of applying the oil production revenues did not guarantee regional developmental projects. If the governors of the municipalities are the lucky ones, that leaves the inhabitants almost lucky. The aim of this study is to discuss the hypothesis on the capture of local interests by these royalties’ valuable resources, using as basic informative background the debates that were being held in the Chamber and Federal Senate during the process of approval of the regime concerning collection, distribution and use of oil royalties.Keywords: oil revenue: distribution; oil industry; taxing; mineral.

This paper investigated how oil revenue and the activities in the oil industry affected the size of income accrue to each Nigerian (Per capita income) from 1980 to 2019. The variables were sourced from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI), OPEC Statistics, Baker Hughes Rig Count and the central bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. Using the AutoRegressive Distributional Lag (ARDL) we observed that explorative activities of crude oil in Nigeria positively impacted the size of individual income. The magnitude of the impact was massive irrespective of time; a 1% increase in exploration increases the size of individual income by 0.4786% in the long run and 0.6030% in the short run. The interaction of rigs by output (interaction of rig-count and oil-production) negatively impacted the size of individual income. This implies that the size of individual income in Nigeria is sensitive to the nature of the explorative environment of the Nigerian oil industry.

Offshore Oil

More than a decade ago, oil drillers and naval architects started to use vessels instead of fixed structures for offshore drilling. A multitude of novel platform concepts were developed which allowed the tremendous spreading of offshore oil activities. Today, search for oil spreads into areas of greater depth and farther away from the shores. This requires new developments of technology over a broad spectrum. The latest concepts of underwater oil production systems are briefly described.

Chemical Reagents

Химические реагенты активно используются в нефтяной отрасли для решения практических задач и совершенствования технологических процессов. При этом на сегодняшний день в России не определен единый, регламентированный нормативно-правовым документом надлежащей юридической силы, порядок применения и контроля качества химических реагентов при добыче, сборе, подготовке и трубопроводном транспорте нефти. С целью обоснования необходимости совершенствования технического регулирования в указанной области проведен анализ нормативно-правовой базы, требований к данному виду химической продукции, процедуры ее сертификации, правил и порядка допуска к применению. Установлено, что в настоящее время использование химических реагентов в нефтяной отрасли почти в полной мере регулируется внутренними нормативными документами компаний - потребителей этих химических веществ, что имеет издержки и недостаточно для эффективного функционирования системы технического регулирования в рассматриваемой области. Представляется целесообразным вернуться к ранее существовавшей практике общего нормативно-правового регулирования применения химических реагентов в процессах добычи, сбора, подготовки и трубопроводного транспорта нефти, а также обязательной сертификации данного вида продукции. Необходимо продолжать деятельность по обеспечению эффективности и безопасности применения химических реагентов: совершенствовать нормативную базу и систему контроля качества, разрабатывать новые методики испытаний и инструкции по применению. Все эти меры должны реализовываться не только на отраслевом, но и на государственном уровне. Chemical reagents are actively used in the oil industry to solve practical problems and improve processes. At the same time, Russia currently has no unified procedure for the use and quality control of chemical reagents in the production, collection, preparation, and pipeline transportation of oil that is regulated by a legal document of proper legal force. In order to substantiate the need to improve technical regulation in this sphere, analysis of the regulatory and legal framework, the requirements established for this type of chemical product, the procedure for its certification, rules and procedures for admission to use has been conducted. It has been established that currently the use of chemical reagents in the oil industry is almost fully regulated by the internal regulatory documents of companies that consume these chemicals, which incurs costs and is insufficient for the effective functioning of the technical regulation system in the industry under consideration. It seems appropriate to return to the previously existing practice of full legal regulation of the use of chemical reagents in the processes of oil production, collection, preparation, and pipeline transportation, as well as mandatory certification for this type of product. It is necessary to continue activities to ensure efficiency and safety of the chemical reagent use: to improve the regulatory framework and quality control system, to develop new test methods and usage instructions. All these measures need to be implemented not only at the industry but also at the state level.

ABSTRACT In November 1981 the petroleum companies operating in Nigeria formed a cooperative with the general purpose of developing an oil industry-sponsored organization for combating oil spills. The organization was named Clean Nigeria Associates (CNA). Individual oil companies operating in Nigeria now have and have had in the past the capability to combat oil spills, but most were unprepared to handle major oil spills. Thus, the main thrust of the cooperative was to develop an equipment stockpile and response capability commensurate with major spill risks. Through competitive bidding, Halliburton Nigeria, Ltd. was selected as the cooperative contractor. Agreements were formally signed in September 1984. Since that time the equipment required by the association was procured by Halliburton and put in place at two locations, Warri and Port Harcourt. These two locations were selected because of their proximity to major production areas. Bases were established at Nigerian Ports Authority facilities which were set aside for oil field operations. Thus, equipment warehouses are in excellent positions to respond to marine spills, and to respond to land spills by road. The equipment stockpile consists of 27,000 ft of booms, 28 skimmers—both for protected waters and offshore, 4,000 bales of sorbents, 26 pumps, 14 boats (ten 15 ft and four 49 ft) and an assortment of vehicles and other support equipment. CNA has a dedicated staff of 38. The staff consists of management, equipment operators, mechanics, boat crews, and support personnel. Since December 1984, training of national personnel on spill response and safety has been a high priority and has continued to this date.

ABSTRACT The Republic of Kazakhstan has an oil production and transport industry of growing global importance; in 2015 crude oil production averaged 1.67 million bbl/day (74 million m3/year). The growth of the oil industry and a changing risk profile has led to an evolution of oil spill preparedness. The national framework has been amended several times due to legislative and administrative changes. The latest National Oil Spill Contingency Plan was approved in 2012, providing impetus for further development through its implementation. This Plan’s policy embraces risk-based preparedness utilizing the full response toolkit. In terms of realizing national policy, important amendments to the Environmental Code in 2016 addressed the following:– Exemption from emission control regulation; legitimate consequences of the response toolkit (such as adding dispersant and a smoke plume resulting from controlled burning) will not be considered as emissions.– Requirement for specific regulation of oil spill methods i.e. dispersant product approval and use authorization and in-situ burning procedures. Industry worked with the authorities to address and develop effective regulation based on international good practices as promoted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and international oil industry associations. The national association Kazenergy provided a vehicle for aligned support across the local industry. Kazakhstan is a member of the regional agreement to protect the Caspian marine environment. Cooperation in case of major oil pollution is being developed, through the implementation of the Aktau Protocol, which entered into force in July 2016. Kazakhstan is also in the process of ratifying the IMO Conventions relating to oil spill preparedness and response. This paper describes the challenging journey to develop an effective response framework, highlighting that the process:– requires champions within authorities to promote legislative amendments;– benefits from alignment of industry through associations as an efficient means to provide support;– is inevitably slowed by governmental re-organization and it is challenging to achieve consensus across different Ministries and departments;– is enhanced where targeted local oil spill research provides credibility and validation of international inputs. Significant commitment is needed to achieve legislative change but the prize it worth it. The result is a robust framework that mandates effective response using the best options to minimize environmental impacts and promote recovery in case of potential oil pollution.

This article focuses on the participatory rights of local people living in the areas of extensive oil industry operations in the Izhemskii district of the Komi Republic in Russia. The district has long been suffering from oil leaks and resulting negative environmental impacts. Lukoil-Komi bought the business directly after the Soviet era and inherited the ecological threats related to old and rusty pipelines. Lukoil-Komi has promised to put things in order, but a great deal remains to be done.This article scrutinizes how statutory law and private governance interact in protecting the participatory rights of local people living in the vicinity of oil production in Komi. First, we evaluate what participatory rights Russian legislation guarantees to local people when oil production arrives in a new area or when new wells are being explored or opened. Second, we elaborate how the major oil company in the region – Lukoil-Komi – fulfills its corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the area of participatory rights and how local people feel about their possibility to exercise their participatory rights. As participatory rights, we discuss both procedural justice with public hearings and distributive justice in the form of benefit-sharing between the company and local community. The wider perspective on participation is due to Russian CSR practices. In Russia, companies tend to earn their Social License to Operate (SLO) through benefit-sharing, often within private governance. This practice is based on the social partnership agreements between authorities and companies. These contracts have path-dependent features resembling earlier Soviet solutions. The same can be claimed to apply to a wider SLO with more focus on local communities. We argue that Lukoil-Komi has not yet been able to achieve an SLO (local acceptance) due to the lack of participatory rights and continuing environmental problems. Most local people are not willing to trade a clean environment and participatory rights for the social benefits the company offers. However, the social partnership agreement concluded between Lukoil-Komi and a local NGO, Izvatas, could be a step forward in achieving a local SLO.
