Current state of innovative development in the oil and gas industry has been considered. The importance of the oil and gas industry for the economic development of the Russian Federation has been noted. Comparison of the results of research and development funding levels among domestic and foreign companies has been performed. A system of private indicators to assess the level of development of innovative activity of companies, taking into account the financial, production and technological indicators of companies, has been proposed. The results of testing this system of indicators have been adduced. The main approaches to the formation of Innovative Development Programs of companies with state participation have been considered. The main tasks of technological development for the domestic oil and gas complex have been highlighted.

Significant amounts of produced water, spent drilling fluid, and drill cuttings, which differ in composition and characteristics in each drilling operation, are generated in the oil and gas industry. Moreover, the oil and gas industry faces many technological development challenges to guarantee a safe and clean environment and to meet strict environmental standards in the field of processing and disposal of drilling waste. Due to increasing application of nanomaterials in the oil and gas industry, drilling wastes may also contain nanometer-scale materials. It is therefore necessary to characterize drilling waste in terms of nanomaterial content and to optimize effective methods for their determination, including a key separation step. The purpose of this study is to select the appropriate method of separation and pre-concentration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from drilling wastewater samples and to determine their size distribution along with the state of aggregation using single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS). Two AgNP separation methods were compared: centrifugation and cloud point extraction. The first known use of spICP-MS for drilling waste matrices following mentioned separation methods is presented.

Force majeure clauses are particularly relevant to at least two types of oil and gas agreements: operating agreements and long-term contracts. Each type of contract is characteristically exposed to calamitous events that can take many years to manifest. However, force majeure clauses in each type of contract need to reflect the commercial realities and bargain represented by each type of contract.This paper considers whether the types of force majeure clauses that are used in the Australian oil and gas industry would adequately excuse a party relying on them from performing their obligations under a contract in light of some very real 21st century concerns. The beginning of the 21st century has seen remarkable technological development and the creation of a global village where an isolated event in one part of the world can have a significant effect on the entire world. Therefore, the increased likelihood of a terrorist attack against significant infrastructure (eg. an offshore oil rig or gas pipeline) and the emergence of natural phenomena, particularly widespread viral outbreaks such as the SARS virus can have a devastating effect on industry globally, as is being seen in the airline industry. There is some doubt whether standard contract clauses will automatically treat such circumstances as force majeure events.The paper suggests that certain drafting conventions ought to be adopted to address 21st century concerns, and particularly to provide practical solutions for these issues.

The article describes the current state of the domestic oil and gas industry. The volume of crude oil and natural gas production in the oil and gas industry is analyzed. The analysis of the gross output of natural gas and oil production, including gas condensate by region, is given and carried out. The number of employees in the main activity is given. The average monthly salary of employees in the main activity of the industry is determined.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify important university-industry linkage (UIL) activities that can stimulate the likelihood of employability among students. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 404 respondents located in Tanzania, comprising students, faculty members and employees from 20 companies operating within the oil and gas industry and mining constitute the empirical basis for the study. Descriptive analysis, the Mann-Whitney U-test and a Kruskal-Wallis test were applied to help analyse the data. Findings – The results reveal that UIL activities were strongly perceived to raise the employability of students, in particular student internships in companies followed by joint projects and the involvement of companies in modernizing university curricula. Adoption and diffusion internship strategies are suggested for foreign companies and for local firm, respectively, as vehicles for increasing employability. Research limitations/implications – Perceived effects on the likelihood of employability are measured, and not actual effects. Practical implications – The findings have implications for foreign companies exploring resources in the host country, local firms trying to improve competitiveness, universities trying to improve its role in society, students preparing for work-life and policy makers defining premises for resource-extractive foreign companies. Originality/value – Very few empirical studies of UILs have previously been carried out in a developing country context, and in particular in dealing with student employability. The fact that many developing nations have attractive rich natural resources implies that international companies have a motive to invest in the UILs, and possess valuable competencies that can improve the overall quality of the universities and the attractiveness of graduating students.
