Oil And Gas Development

“CPOE62”platform is a self-elevating workover platform. Under the construction and service process，because of the particularity of work environment，Not only does it bear its own weight and variable load, but also bears the role of environmental load all the time. Sometimes this environment load will have an enormous destruction. Based on the analysis of environmental load, the author checks the bottom stability and verifies it through ANSYS. These will provide some useful information for the deep sea platform research in Bohai Sea deep-water oil and gas development, which achieves higher security and economic efficiency.

Local Impacts

This article reviews the legal role of Alberta municipalities in the regulatory regime that governs all stages of oil and gas development within the province. Specifically, it seeks to address how municipalities are involved in the decision-making processes preceding oil and gas development approval; how their views and concerns are addressed; and what steps they are able to take in an effort to regulate and manage development within their borders. It highlights the fact that Alberta’s approach to governance in oil and gas development is one that, as a matter of law and policy, grants municipalities a limited role. Nonetheless, it argues that avenues exist that municipalities can, and have, pursued in an effort to adequately address local impacts and concerns surrounding development.

Petroleum Drilling

Industrial relations has been a 'sleeping giant' in the petroleum drilling industry in Australia. This is changing. Spurred on by successful militancy in Bass Strait and a growing awareness of the strategic significance of oil and gas to Australia's balance of payments, the unions are becoming more active in the drilling industry.The Northwest Shelf is representative of the oil and gas development projects which should provide long-term stability for the industry. The extent of their contribution to stability will depend on many factors, not the least of which is the industrial relations climate within which the developments take place. Unity among employers will be essential if important issues such as comparative wage justice, compulsory unionism and safety are to be successfully addressed. There is an urgent need for improved industrial relations planning at industry level.At the forefront of free enterprise, the petroleum drilling industry has discouraged the involvement of unions at every opportunity. This approach, appropriate in many parts of the world, may no longer be viable in Australia. A majority of Labor Governments, whose policies are strongly influenced by trade union attitudes, will provide a political climate conducive to an expanded union profile in the industry. It is time for the industry to re-examine the role of the union movement in its project developments and to accept the unions as necessary and interested participants in the development of Australia's resources.

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

The Impact

The article reflects the results of a study of the impact of migration on regional labour markets amidst a decline in the working-age population in Russia. After substantiating the relevance of the issues under consideration, the authors propose a methodological analysis toolkit, the author’s own methodology for calculating the coefficients of permanent long-term external and internal labour migration in regional labour markets, and the coefficient of total migration burden. In addition, the authors provide an overview of the information and statistical base of the study. According to current migration records, data of Rosstat sample surveys on Russian labour migrants leaving for employment in other regions, regional labour resources balance sheets based on the calculated coefficients of labour market pressures, the authors analyzed the impact of migration on the Russian regional labour markets over the past decade. It revealed an increasing role of internal labour migration in many regions, primarily in the largest economic agglomerations and oil and gas territories. At the same time, the role of external labour migration remains stable and minimum indicators of the contribution of permanent migration to the formation of regional labour markets continue to decrease. It has been established that irrational counter flows of external and internal labour migration have developed, which indicates not only an imbalance in labour demand and supply but also a discrepancy between the qualitative composition of migrants and the needs of the economy. It is concluded that the state does not effectively regulate certain types of migration, considering its impact on the labour market. The authors justified the need for conducting regular household sample surveys according to specific programs to collect information about labour migrants and the conditions for using their labour. In addition to the current migration records, using interregional analysis, this information allows making more informed decisions at the federal and regional levels to correct the negative situation that has developed in the regional labour markets even before the coronavirus pandemic had struck.
