According to forecast estimates, the depletion of continental oil and gas fields of the Russian Federation is 30 - 50%, and the fields of the continental shelf are less than 1%. Therefore, the main volumes of growth of reserves, oil and gas production in the fuel and energy complex system should be planned at the expense of resources and reserves of the continental shelf. The article considers the principal features of development of oil and gas fields of the continental shelf and criteria determining types of offshore oil and gas fisheries.

The article touches upon the problem of technogenic risks arising in the course of building and operating oil and gas complexes in the Caspian Sea taking into account the adoption of the Con-vention on the legal status of the Caspian Sea and regulation of the territorial division of the Caspian Sea. Technological risks are presented from the position of safety of industrial facilities in the offshore area and in the coastal zone, the impact of these facilities on the ecology of the Caspian is considered. The risk analysis was carried out taking into account world experience, as well as incidents that occurred at the offshore oil and gas production facilities in the Caspian Sea. There has been presented the layout of oil and gas fields at the bottom of the Caspian Sea and the division of the bottom based on adopting the Convention. A general description of the Caspian Sea has been given; unique features of the Caspian and the most unexplored seismic effects have been stated. It has been recommended to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the state of the seabed according to seismological, mud, volcanic and engineering-geological conditions; to develop measures for preventing and reducing the damage from hazardous natural processes and exploitation of oil and gas fields; to forecast the fluctuations of the Caspian Sea level, taking into account today’s economic activity; to study the natural and technogenic factors determining the environmental safety of the Caspian Sea; to monitor seismic phenomena, crustal movement in zones of tectonic faults at the sea bottom, etc. The speed and direction of wind currents in the Caspian Sea have been analyzed. The maps of mud volcanoes location in the Caspian basin (located on land, hidden and identified by seismic, geological, geophysical and geochemical methods, etc.) are illustrated. Conclusions are made about the high risks for developing hydrocarbon deposits in the Caspian Sea basin. There is the need to take into account environmental requirements and standards, to use modern technologies, to prevent incidents at offshore oil and gas production facilities.

Decommissioning offshore oil and gas production facilities have been progressively increasing the concern of the industry, government and other interest groups through the last years. There are at least two reasons for this sudden regard. First, it is the maturing of several oil and gas fields around the world in recent years. Second, it is the growing impact of environmental concerns in international affairs. Despite several works published address to some techniques and to potential problems and risks related to decommissioning offshore oil and gas production installations its procedures are in some extent an innovative issue, especially in Brazil. Therefore, the motivation of this paper is the novelty of the subject in Brazil, since the national industry is just beginning to deal with the end-of-leasing obligations, which involve decommissioning operations. The main ambition is to stimulate debate about appropriate issues.

Production Industry

Development of offshore oil and gas production from the continental shelf and in even deeper water will be dependent on engineers. It is of primary importance to understand the nature of the oil and gas production industry in order to follow more clearly the contribution that will be required from many of the professional branches of engineering, and a great deal of new technology must be developed in order that the problems of the future may be overcome. The difficulty may not be in defining the future engineering of oil and gas development but in finding engineers in sufficient numbers to meet the demand.

Marginal Zones

The need to maintain the level of production and an acceptable cost of developing oil and gas fields forces us to rely primarily on the existing reserve, that is, to maximize the potential of traditional oil and gas production regions and adjacent territories - the marginal zones. At the same time, it is necessary to develop unexplored sedimentary complexes at depths of more than 3-5 km. Against this background, it is necessary to highlight a special phenomenon that increases the oil and gas potential of the subsoil associated with trap magmatism. The insufficient level of knowledge of the subsoil makes it possible to predict the discovery of large oil and gas deposits of the traditional type, which will ensure their high profitabilitye. Keywords: trap magmatism; profitability of oil and gas resources; marginal zones; hornfels; transformation of carbonates; rocks of trap formations; regional seals.

Production units located in the Brazilian marine environment are responsible for the production of 95.7% of oil and 78.8% of natural gas of Brazil causing economic, environmental, and social impacts motivating us to construct a system of indicators as a tool aimed to improve the sustainable management practice of these production units. To date, one of the tools most used by the oil industry is the sustainability report, oriented by guidelines from international organizations. However, these reports have a corporate character being unable to help the sustainability management of production units’ activities. The indicators were selected based on a systemic approach, using current knowledge on sustainability indicators, together with the survey of aspects relevant to the operation and management of offshore oil and gas production units. This paper describes the proposed indicators and presents the hierarchical structure of the system, built on the economic, environmental, social, and operational dimensions. The application of the proposed system of indicators, based on multicriterial and multiple decision-making analyses, validates a complex decision process, providing improved sustainable management of offshore production units by identifying points for which the necessary measures and actions can be implemented. Keywords: offshore oil and gas production; sustainability indicators; multicriteria and multiple decision-making analyses.
