The state of the mineral resource base of hydrocarbons in recent years has been characterized by a decrease in proven reserves and extremely low rates of their reproduction. In Western Siberia, as in other oil-bearing provinces of Russia, economically profitable oil reserves are decreasing. It is obvious that the development of the fuel and energy complex is becoming more focused on the development of hard-to-recover reserves, which account for almost 2/3 of the proven oil reserves. Technologies for the extraction of such raw materials are characterized by higher capital costs, which requires the search for new ways to increase the profitability of projects. One of these areas is the extraction of metals from the associated water of oil and gas fields. In this paper, the possibility of using the technology for extracting lithium from the associated waters of the Orenburg oil and gas condensate field is evaluated, and the boundary conditions for the implementation of this technology are determined.

The development of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is largely based on a powerful base of mineral raw materials. The leading role is played by huge reserves of oil and gas. They are located in 6 oil and gas sedimentary basins of Western and Eastern Kazakhstan. More than 350 oil and gas fields have been explored in them, containing over 6.4 billion tons of recoverable oil reserves and about 4.5 trillion m3 of gas. The main volumes of oil reserves (85.2%) are concentrated in 25 large and giant fields. Numerous small objects contain only 5.3% of the reserves. In the changed situation on the world oil market, the development of such small fields with recoverable reserves of less than 1.0 million tons becomes unprofitable. In further work in new promising basins, one should focus on prospecting, first of all, large and medium-sized deposits

The article discusses the features of the development of oil and gas fields in the Caspian region by the coastal states. The analysis of the participation in various years of large international companies in the development of oil and gas fields in the waters of the Caspian Sea is carried out. The development of the resource base of hydrocarbon raw materials in the countries of the Caspian region associated with the discovery of new geological structures is considered. Aspects of how the countries of the Caspian region have become full-fledged exporters of hydrocarbons are outlined. The main aspects of the great prospects for the development of the Caspian countries and possible steps in bringing to a new stage of cooperation between the states of the region in the energy, transport and communication spheres are stated. It is indicated that the joint development of the shelf hydrocarbons, which are of international and regional importance, serves to strengthen dialogue and cooperation on dividing the bottom of the Caspian Sea.

Ether-geosoliton model of geological processes, developing V. I. Vernadsky's ideas (the degassing of the Earth) and D. I. Mendeleev’s ideas (mineral petroleum origin), explains not only the formation of hydrocar-bons and the formation of oil and gas fields, but also offers new approaches to the search and exploration of strategic raw materials in hydrocarbon fields in Western Siberia.

Based on the well-known results of studies of the ether-geosoliton concept of the growing Earth, the article presents the conclusions that made it possible to propose a model of thermonuclear synthesis of chemical elements that form renewable reserves of developed oil and gas fields. It was revealed that local zones of abnormally high production rates of production wells and, accordingly, large cumulative production at developed fields in Western Siberia are due to the restoration of recoverable reserves due to geosoliton degassing. Therefore, when interpreting the results of geological and geophysical studies, it is necessary to pay attention to the identified geosoliton degassing channels, since in the works of R. M. Bembel and others found that they contributed to the formation of a number of hydrocarbon deposits in Western Siberia. When interpreting the results of geological-geophysical and physicochemical studies of the fields being developed, it is recommended to study the data of the ring high-resolution seismic exploration technology in order to identify unique areas of renewable reserves, which can significantly increase the component yield of hydrocarbon deposits.

Currently, companies are consuming transitions to the development of the difficult oil and gas fields. The difficulty implies factors: features of geological conditions, remote geographic location, features of the relief. The development of new oil and gas fields requires design approaches that ensure maximum profitability on complex assets. One of the promising development options is the digitalization and automation of design processes. The paper proposes a new approach to assessing capital costs when designing well pads in the field. A new method is proposed for calculating costs and restrictions at the stage of resources for optimizing a well pad, taking into account detailed topography and resource availability through digitalization and automation. The problem was solved using an interactive ontological model with built-in knowledge bases and calculation algorithms. The model was tested at the field, the possible risks of using the model were assessed, and sufficient accuracy of the obtained values was obtained. The results of the work make it possible to improve the stage of optimization of the well pad, taking into account the costs of resources: drilling, engineering preparation, backfilling of the road, supply of communications, availability of resources and unforeseen costs. The work supports the trends of digitalization and technological processes and business processes. The developed model made it possible to digitize the stage of optimizing the location of the well pad, to automate the multifactor calculation of costs and restrictions. The results make the possible full automation for definition well pad placement, later on, taking into account detailed topography and resource availability.

Economic hardship in Ukraine during the years of independence led to a sharp reduction of exploration work on oil and gas, a drop in hydrocarbon production, a decrease in inventories and a sharp collapse of research work to ensure the growth of hydrocarbon reserves.The hydrocarbon potential of various sources of Ukrainian subsoil is quite powerful and can provide future energy independence of the country. Potential hydrocarbon resources in traditional traps of various types are exhausted by only 25 %. Ukraine has recently experienced so-called “shale gas boom”. The experience of extraction of shale gas in desert areas of the United States can not be repeated in densely populated Ukraine in the absence of such powerful shale strata, resource base, necessary infrastructure, own technologies and techniques and economic, environmental and social risks.Taking into account the fuel and energy problems of the state, we constantly throughout the years of independence oriented the oil and gas industry and the authorities on the active use of our own reserves and opportunities for accelerated opening of new oil and gas fields.The results of geological exploration work in the old oil and gas basins at the high level of their study indicate that deposits in non-structural traps dominate among open deposits.A complex of sequence-stratigraphical, lithology-facies and lithology-paleogeographical studies is being successfully used to forecast undeformational traps in well-studied oil and gas bearing basin of the Ukraine – the Dniprovsko-Donetsky basin. The authors predict wide development of stratigraphic, lithologic, tectonic and combined traps in terrigenous sediments of Tournaisian and Visean age, reef-carbonate massifs of the lower Tournaisian, lower and middle Visean age and others. They should become the basis for exploration of oil and gas fields for the near and medium term and open the second breath of the basin.

Subject Impact of conflict on Yemen's oil and gas sector. Significance Yemen's oil sector has been in serious decline for years due to sabotage, field depletion and underinvestment, although it has remained the mainstay of government finances. Oil and gas fields and facilities are key assets in contention in the current conflict, even though it has halted most production and scared away many foreign operators. Yemen has around 3 billion barrels of oil reserves and 17 trillion cubic feet of gas. Oil revenues are critical to helping address the poverty that underlies much of the country's instability. Impacts Yemen supplies 3% of global LNG, and the loss of this may boost spot prices. Reduced oil revenue will make post-war Yemen even more dependent on aid. Jihadists could capture oil fields and finance themselves through local sales.
