Environmental assessment of the Eastern Arctic: contribution of energy objects

Published on
1955 views

The article presents an analysis of the environmental situation in the Arctic regions of
the three subjects of the east of Russia. The main sources of pollutants entering the elements of
the natural environment have been identified. The lack of up-to-date and reliable information on
the state of the environment leads to a discrepancy between the data of the regional and federal
levels. The calculation and assessment of the contribution of energy objects to the emission of
pollutants and greenhouse gases, in particular, carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere were done.

Hydrogen and aluminum-hydrogen storage in the power industry

The development of the electric power industry is currently under the influence of
several technological trends: hydrogen energy, energy storage systems (ESS), «digitalization» of
infrastructures and the transition to intelligent management and engineering. The main importance
of energy storage devices is not just to solve the problem of energy supply, but to form a new
energy infrastructure, free from restrictions on the continuity of one type of electrical processes.
In essence, this means significantly expanding the type and form of energy associations that
allow the integration of autonomous, distributed and centralized systems, including new centers
of generation and consumption into a common energy «system of systems».

The article provides an overview of the resources of nconventional hydrocarbons. In the total volume of oil-containing resources, the share of unconventional types of oil resources reaches 90 % and amounts to 1.7–1.8 trillion tons. Implementation of unconventional hydrocarbon resources (natural bitumens, oil shales) in industrial production requires solving technical problems both in their extraction as well as in the processing of extracted materials into liquid hydrocarbons (synthetic oil). Under current market conditions these types of hydrocarbon resources are of limited importance for the world economy. Further development and use of unconventional hydrocarbon resources requires reliable geological data on the amount of available reserves and their physical and chemical properties. The development of technologies for producing hydrogen from unconventional hydrocarbon resources and hydroconversion of this feedstocks into synthetic oil, motor fuels, and raw materials for petrochemicals is promising

The publication reviews the existing and prospective technologies of marking crude oil and crude oil products and their efficacy and economic feasibility. The marking was shown to have a significant positive economic impact, lowering products falsification risks (corruption level) and improving the crude oil producers’ image of in the global markets. The publication supports the adoption of crude oil and crude oil products marking by the Russian upstream and pipeline companies.

In June 2021, the joint venture (JV) Vietsovpetro celebrates its 40th‑ anniversary. The enterprise was established in 1981 within the framework of an agreement on cooperation between the USSR and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the field of exploration and production of gas and oil in the south of Vietnam.At present, the joint venture participants are the Russian oil and gas company Zarubezhneft and the Vietnamese oil and gas corporation Petrovietnam.

The success of Vietsovpetro caused a wave of interest among the world’s lea +-ding oil companies in the Vietnamese shelf

Over 40 years of Vietsovpetro’s activity, the main event, of course, is the very creation of this Joint Venture, which is now among the most cost-efficient oil-producing enterprises in the world, and its success story is primarily associated with the discovery of the giant White Tiger deposit. Oleg Akimov, Deputy General Director for Production of JSC Zarubezhneft, spoke about other important events took place in Vietsovpetro and tasks the enterprise faces in the near future.
