Abstract To assure the credibility of commodity transfer operations in the oil and gas industry, calibrated flow meters are used to quantify the movement of fluids in the pipelines. The purpose of this paper is to validate the transient time method (TTM) to calibrate oil flow meters installed in restricted areas, using the 123I-labelled oil as a radiotracer. Traditionally, as proposed by the standard ISO 2975-7:1977 [1] for experiments in an aqueous medium, the TTM is employed by positioning two detectors at separate locations. However, in industrial plants, it is not always possible to install detectors at the distances recommended by the ISO 2975-7. The method proposed in this paper uses four scintillator detectors separated one from each other by 0.30 m and three injections containing 5.0 ml of 123I-labelled oil. The experiments were carried out in an oil flow rig with a turbulent flow profile. The results have reached an uncertainty which is lower than 1.0%.

This paper describes the transient dynamics behavior of oil flow in a pipe with the presence of one or two leaks through fluid dynamics simulations using the Ansys CFX commercial software. The pipe section is three-dimensional with a pipe length of 10 m, a pipe diameter of 20 cm, and leak diameter of 1.6 mm. The interest of this work is to evaluate the influence of the flow velocity, and the number and position of leaks on the transient pressure behavior. These new data may provide support for more efficient detection systems. Thus, this work intends to contribute to the development of tools of operations in oil and gas industry.

Pipelines are highly used in the oil industry for the transportation of oil, natural gas and products from refineries. One of the main areas of study in pipeline engineering is the flow guarantee. This paper describes the steady state dynamics behavior of oil flow in a pipeline with the presence of a leak. The mathematical and numerical modeling of a single-phase flow in a one meter pipeline with a diameter of 0.15 m in an onshore environment. Three different sizes of leaks are studied based on fluid dynamics simulations using the ANSYS FLUENT® 15.0 commercial software. The interest of this paper is to evaluate the influence of leakage on the pressure, velocity fields and flow rates in a 3D section of pipe in order to identify the influence of the perturbation in these parameters. The results obtained is interpreted in the CFD- Post that is included in the software package. Thus, this work intends to contribute to the development of operations tools in oil and gas industry.

The article discusses the problem of protecting industrial plants by preserving them in the form of museums established directly in historical production facilities dating from the era of industrialisation. The author presents the trends and plans of selected museums as well as the ways in which they were built; she also deals with the problem of defining the institution of an industrial open-air museum and its specificity. The creation, aims, organisational structure and financing of the Museum of the Old Polish Basin in Sielpia Wielka, the Historical Metallurgical Plant in Maleniec, the Museum of Oil and Gas Industry in Bóbrka and the "Guido" Mine in Zabrze are discussed in their historical contexts as well as on the basis of archival materials and source publications. The common features and tendencies from the Communist period are concluded by describing the communities involved in the protection of industrial cultural values, the idea behind the way the institution is organised, and the sources of financing.

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
