Main Factors

The study of bloodsucking dipterans, including gadflies, was conducted mainly in the 60-70s of the last century, when the rapid development of oil and gas production began and was associated with the development of means and methods for the pro-tection of humans and animals. Since then, more than 40 years have passed. Dur-ing this time, there was a noticeable warming of the climate, and due to technical progress, the anthropogenic impact on nature increased. Currently, the interest of scientists and researchers to Diptera has significantly increased. Blood-sucking two-winged insects (midges) include mosquitoes (blood line Culicidae), gadflies (blood line Tabanidae), midges (blood line Simuliidae) and biting midges (blood line Cera-topogonidae). The main factors determining the high abundance of midges are favor-able climatic conditions for their reproduction and existence in combination with the abundance of biotopes of hatching (various water bodies and marsh formations) and the habitat of the imago (presence of tree, shrub or high grassy vegetation), as well as the presence of a sufficient number of warm-blooded animals – the source of blood saturation. The damage caused by horseflies to humans and animals is very great. The aim of our work was to summarize the information in the literature about the damage caused by horseflies to farm animals and their role in the transmission of pathogens of humans and animals.

Operational Life

Oil and gas production operations occur in widely diverse onshore and offshore contexts. The global industry has a long history of coping with climate variability, extreme climatic conditions and extreme weather events. Climate change, however, is projected to take the new climate beyond the range of historical variability in many places where oil and gas production facilities are located. Oil and gas infrastructure often has an expected operational life of 50 years or more, which would take new operations to 2064 and beyond. This is well inside the timeframe predicted for substantial climate change with consequent risks to longer term operational continuity and supply chain security. In recent years, the realities of climate change beyond pre-industrial age historical variability, and the associated business risks, have become accepted by the major global oil and gas industry players. Other stakeholders, including corporate, institutional and private investors and corporate regulators, are also becoming more assertive in their demands for corporate disclosure of climate change risks, adaptation management plans and evidence of effective implementation of adaptive measures. Industry decision-makers need scientifically sound and robust data applied to their specific operations and business conditions to support business case-based investment decisions for new project feasibility, capital and operational expenditure, and the management of long-term strategic liabilities. This extended abstract provides an overview of the complex and interconnected web of climate change effects that should be considered. It also outlines approaches that could be employed to manage the risks and meet stakeholder expectations.

Offshore Oil

The boomtown scenario has, over the last decade, become closely associated with energy-related development in the western United States. The model based on this scenario has been generalized to other energy-related production activities, notably offshore oil and gas development. The basic mechanism underlying the boomtown model is the rapid growth of population that occurs as individuals move into an area to take advantage of employment opportunities in the energy production sectors of the economy. In contrast to western energy development, the structure of employment in the primary sectors of offshore oil and gas production allows individuals to commute from considerable distances rather than relocate. Without relocation and the corresponding population growth, some of the negative social and economic impacts generally associated with boomtowns do not occur. Thus the traditional boomtown model is limited in its appropriateness as a tool for energy-related impact assessment. In the present article, the original boomtown model is modified to provide greater flexibility and comprehensiveness, not only with respect to offshore oil and gas production in the gulf coast but for other areas of rapid development as well.

Operational Capacity

The reliability of road transport is one of the main factors affecting the operational capacity and special works performance of any road transport company. The efficiency of task performance directly depends on the uninterrupted operation of vehicles at the site of operation. The authors of the study collected data of MTBF of special trucks Ural 4320 for six transmission elements: gearboxes, transfer gearboxes, clutches, cardan shafts, front and rear axles. The numerical values of the main uptime indicators are determined and their functional dependences on the MTBF are obtained. According to the graphic representation of the functional dependences and variation coefficients, the law of distribution of random variables is determined.

The Impact

Development of oil and gas deposits in Eastern Siberia is carried out in difficult climatic conditions, far from settlements and with no infrastructure. The presence of external conditions creates an unstable economic situation for this economic activity, which should be immediately addressed. The article showed how important it is to focus on the fact that the functioning of an oil and gas company, as a business unit of a territorial holding, largely depends on taking into account the impact on the business of strategic analysis of environmental and internal factors. The research outlined a special significance of this process in the course of effective business management.
