The development of technologies and technical means of well structures intended for the production of highviscosity oils is an urgent problem in the oil and gas industry. The design of well structures is determined by geological factors. The well design should ensure trouble-free construction of a sealed space of a stable channel between the fluid-saturated layers and the earth's surface.

The oil and gas industry, wellbore instability plays an important role in financial losses and stops the operations while the drilling which leads to extra time known as non-productive time. In this work, a comprehensive study was carried out to realize the nature of the instability problems of the wellbore in Rumaila oilfield to improve the well design. The study goal is to develop a geomechanical model in one dimension by utilizing Schlumberger Techlog (Version 2015) software. Open hole wireline measurements were needed to develop the model. The model calibrating and validating with core laboratory tests (triaxial test), well test (Mini-frac test), repeated formation test. Mohr-Coulomb, Mogi-Coulomb, and Modified Lade are the three failure criteria which utilized to analyze the borehole breakouts and to determine the minimum mud weight needed for a stable wellbore wall. For more accuracy of the geomechanical model, the predicted profile of the borehole instability is compared with the actual failure of the borehole that is recorded by caliper log. The results of the analysis showed that the Mogi-Coulomb criteria are closer to the true well failure compared with the other two criteria and considered as the better criteria in predicting the rock failure in the Rumaila oilfield. The wellbore instability analysis revealed that the vertical and low deviated wells (less than 40º) is safer and more stable. While, the horizontal and directional wells should be drilled longitudinally to the direction of the minimum horizontal stresses at a range between 140º–150º North West-South East and the mud weight recommended is increased to 10.5 ppg to avoid most of instabilities problems. The results contribute in development plan of the wells nearby the studied area and decreasing NPT and cost.

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.

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
