The article discusses the problem of protecting industrial plants by preserving them in the form of museums established directly in historical production facilities dating from the era of industrialisation. The author presents the trends and plans of selected museums as well as the ways in which they were built; she also deals with the problem of defining the institution of an industrial open-air museum and its specificity. The creation, aims, organisational structure and financing of the Museum of the Old Polish Basin in Sielpia Wielka, the Historical Metallurgical Plant in Maleniec, the Museum of Oil and Gas Industry in Bóbrka and the "Guido" Mine in Zabrze are discussed in their historical contexts as well as on the basis of archival materials and source publications. The common features and tendencies from the Communist period are concluded by describing the communities involved in the protection of industrial cultural values, the idea behind the way the institution is organised, and the sources of financing.

Practitioners deal primarily with two different methods of interpretation in oil and gas cases: the strict method of interpretation and the liberal method of interpretation. However, in recent decisions such as Bank of Montreal v. Dynex Petroleum and Taylor v. Scurry-Rainbow Oil, the courts refused to apply the common law, instead upholding long-standing industry practices that could not be easily classified into proper legal categories. Following a review of the strict interpretation and liberal interpretation methodologies currently used in interpreting oil and gas cases, this article looks more closely at the method of interpretation used by the courts in Dynex and Taylor. This method of interpretation will be referred to as the challenging method of interpretation. The article discusses the key analytical aspects of the challenging method interpretation, and examines its possible impact on the existing methods of interpretation used in oil and gas cases. Finally, this article concludes with some thoughts about the implications of these cases on oil and gas law.

<p>The decline in production from of a field is the common problem in the oil and gas industry. One of the causes of the decrease in production is the decline of reservoir pressure. Based on the analisis result, it was found that SNP field had a weak water drive. The most dominant drive of the field was fluid expansion. In order to reduce the problem, a reservoir pressure maintenance effort was required by injecting water. In this research, the effect of water injection to reservoir pressure and cumulative production was analyzed. From the evaluation result, it was found that the existing inejection performance using one injection well to Zones A and B was not optimum. Because, the recovery factor was predicted to 29.11% only.By activating the four injection wells, the recoverty factor could be increase to 31.43%.</p>

Abstract To assure the credibility of commodity transfer operations in the oil and gas industry, calibrated flow meters are used to quantify the movement of fluids in the pipelines. The purpose of this paper is to validate the transient time method (TTM) to calibrate oil flow meters installed in restricted areas, using the 123I-labelled oil as a radiotracer. Traditionally, as proposed by the standard ISO 2975-7:1977 [1] for experiments in an aqueous medium, the TTM is employed by positioning two detectors at separate locations. However, in industrial plants, it is not always possible to install detectors at the distances recommended by the ISO 2975-7. The method proposed in this paper uses four scintillator detectors separated one from each other by 0.30 m and three injections containing 5.0 ml of 123I-labelled oil. The experiments were carried out in an oil flow rig with a turbulent flow profile. The results have reached an uncertainty which is lower than 1.0%.

Disasters such as the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig and the consequential pollution in the Gulf of Mexico have heightened awareness surrounding liability for such events. It is an opportune time for all companies—whether owners, operators or contractors—to closely examine their contracting regimes to ensure their interests are protected to the maximum extent possible. It is commercial reality in all industries that parties negotiating contracts seek to limit their liability. Unique to the oil and gas industry, contracts for services usually contain reciprocal indemnities, often referred to as knock for knock clauses, where each party is responsible for loss or damage to its own people and property, regardless of the cause. Such clauses have the effect of altering the common law position where liability is usually based on the cause of any loss or damage. In this session the speaker discusses some tips and traps for drafting reciprocal indemnity clauses, and looks at how they have been interpreted by the courts. Consideration is given to how an incident like Deepwater Horizon would be treated if it occurred in Australia and an update on the US Senate Committee’s inquiry into the disaster is provided.

The demand for crude oil and natural gas is constantly increasing. To keep up with this demand the oil and gas industry must spend vast sums of. money· to find new petroleum deposits to replenish the depleted reserves. Conventional financing techniques are used to finance the transportation, refining and marketing operations of the oil and gas industry, but the financing of oil and gas exploration and production requires special techniques. This paper discusses the common methods of financing the production end of the Canadian oil and gas industry.

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.
