The world’s critical infrastructure includes entities such as the water, waste water, electrical utilities, and the oil and gas industry. In many cases, these rely on pipelines that are controlled by supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. SCADA systems have evolved to highly networked, common platform systems. This evolutionary process creates expanding and changing cyber security risks. The need to address this risk profile is mandated from the highest government level. This chapter discusses the various processes, standards, and industry based best practices that are directed towards minimizing these risks.

Indigenous Land

In the settler colonial context of so-called Canada, oil and gas projects are contemporary infrastructures of invasion. This article tracks how the state discourse of “critical infrastructure” naturalizes the environmental destruction wrought by the oil and gas industry while criminalizing Indigenous resistance. I review anthropological work to analyze the applicability of the concept of infrastructure to Indigenous struggles against resource extraction. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Indigenous land defense movements against pipeline construction, I argue for an alternative approach to infrastructure that strengthens and supports the networks of human and other-than-human relations that continue to make survival possible for Indigenous peoples.

The paper deals with the migration of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems widely used in the monitoring and management of the oil and gas industry to the cloud computing environment. There arise various problems in data collection, transmission, and processing because of traditional SCADA systems being very expensive, inflexible, and complicated scalability. The transferring of the SCADA system's applications to the cloud environment reduces costs and improves scalability. The purchase of hardware and software is carried out at a lower cost than its installation and maintenance. In the article, the usage of cloud-based SCADA systems has been proposed for easy, safe, reliable and quick collection and processing of data from facilities installed in the oil and gas industry.

Scada Systems

The oil and gas industry is characterized by complex technological processes, the management of which is impossible without the use of modern automation tools (APCs). For monitoring and dispatching control of a large number of remote objects, specialized SCADA systems are used, the main purpose of which is to provide the operator who controls the technological process with complete information about this process and the necessary means to influence it. The Russian control automation market is represented by both domestic and foreign SCADA systems, the most popular of which are: WinCC (Siemens, Germany), InTouch (Wonderware, USA), RSView32 (Rockwell Automation, USA), Genesis64 (Iconics, USA), Vijeo Citect (Schneider Electric, France), Trace Mode (AdAstra), Master SCADA (InSat NPF), Krug-2000 (Krug NPF), SARGON (NVT-Automation). Unlike foreign SCADA systems, Russian SCADA systems have a number of advantages – an acceptable price level, the possibility of operational technical support and, not least, Russian-language accompanying operational documentation. The article presents the control algorithms of the TREI-5B-05 programmable controller of the «ECO» series, which are used in the SCADA system of the oil and gas transport infrastructure. Sets of parameters of a functioning system are obtained. Software has been developed that monitors the functions of the controller and signals a detected failure. A series of tests was developed and tested, with the help of which the correct functioning of the TREI-5B-05 controller was checked on a specialized stand by modeling the errors that occur. The integration of this application with the existing automated operator's seat has been completed. A method for testing the performance of the TREI-5B-05 controller of the «ECO» series, as the most important element of the SCADA process control system in the oil and gas industry, is proposed. The transition to the use of this controller was carried out in accordance with the domestic policy of import substitution. Development of control algorithms and software for an automated system for monitoring the state of technological equipment involved in the transportation of liquid energy resources along oil and gas pipelines, as well as ensuring the smooth operation of the system and reducing its downtime in the event of equipment failure. In the course of the study, a software and algorithmic complex was created and tested to monitor the technical condition of the pump unit and the shut-off device with an electric drive. Special algorithms for testing signals at different values of control parameters have been developed and tested. Protocols are formed for all the tests performed and acceptable parameter values are determined for the specific system built. The analysis of XML files in the controller's memory and in RAM for their integrity is carried out. The developed application allows you to monitor the health of the system, as well as transmit signals about detected errors to the operator's automated control system. Timely signaling of failures in the transport system, in turn, allows you to quickly take measures to eliminate their causes.

Five major technology trends have collided to shape what is becoming known as the digital economy: Hyper-connectivity, supercomputing, cloud computing, cyber security, and smart products have created a world where the traditional boundaries of products vs. service offerings no longer exist. Individuals, businesses, and societies are connecting in real time, creating a world that is more collaborative, intelligent, and responsive. Fortunately, the oil and gas industry has been highly automated and digitized for decades. Yet the technology powering the digital economy is taking connectivity to a new level, transforming nearly every aspect of operations and customer engagement. Early adopters are growing shareholder and stakeholder value faster than their peers while those failing to adapt are falling behind. Staying ahead of the curve means taking a hard look at existing practices and reimagining everything from business models and processes to work management solutions.

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.
