Summary Fault reactivation caused by reservoir depletion has been an important issue faced by the oil and gas industry. Traditional views suggest that with reservoir depletion, only normal faults can be activated and fault stability either monotonically decreases or increases, which are not consistent with field observations. In this paper, a fault–sliding–potential (FSP) model was developed to analyze fault stability during reservoir depletion for different types of faults. The evolution trend of fault stability with reservoir depletion and the corresponding judging criteria were obtained by calculating the derivatives of FSP. The influences of reservoir depletion on nonsealing and sealing faults were investigated. Case studies were performed to analyze FSP for different types of nonsealing and sealing faults with different fault properties and attitudes. The results show that reverse and strike faults might also be reactivated with reservoir depletion. The fault stability might not monotonically decrease or increase; instead, four evolution patterns of fault stability might occur, with reservoir depletion dependent on the parameters of the faults. Reservoir depletion usually leads to a higher sliding risk for sealing faults than for nonsealing faults. The results also indicate that fault stability is a strong function of fault attitudes, including the dip and strike of the fault.

Borehole Imaging

Abstract The quest to gain more knowledge of the subsurface and to reduce uncertainty in the interpretation of subsurface data has been an age-long effort in the oil and gas industry. To achieve this, asset owners use tools with improved resolution, utilize different types of logging tools and integrate the interpretation from these logging tools. This paper will review some projects where data from borehole imaging tools were used to support geosteering decisions and to gain more knowledge of reservoir structure. Borehole images are logs based on the circumferential measurement of a petrophysical parameter along a borehole wall. Logging-while-drilling borehole images can be used for structural, sedimentological and petrophysical analysis. These near-wellbore analyses contribute greatly to the success of most geosteering jobs. Geosteering is a process used in placing high-angled and horizontal wells in subsurface intervals of interest. It involves the use and integration of data from varied sources. This paper will show different scenarios, in different depositional environments, where borehole imaging supported the geosteering process and how geological interpretations from geosteering brought more clarity to borehole imaging analysis. Examples of these will highlight the stratigraphic relationship between geological structures and wellbore trajectory, detection of subsurface structural discontinuities, primary sedimentary structures, and the interpretation of complex geological structures. This paper will broaden our understanding of the applications of borehole imaging and how it integrates with geosteering in achieving oil and gas well objectives.

The Government

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.

Geopolitical Risks

The article is devoted to the consideration of geopolitical challenges for the analysis of geoenvironmental risks (GERs) in the hydrocarbon development of the Arctic territory. Geopolitical risks (GPRs), like GERs, can be transformed into opposite external environment factors of oil and gas industry facilities in the form of additional opportunities or threats, which the authors identify in detail for each type of risk. This is necessary for further development of methodological base of expert methods for GER management in the context of the implementational proposed two-stage model of the GER analysis taking to account GPR for the improvement of effectiveness making decisions to ensure optimal operation of the facility oil and gas industry and minimize the impact on the environment in the geopolitical conditions of the Arctic.The authors declare no conflict of interest
