Abstract The request for optimization of development system parameters, well designs and the ground facility architecture is permanent task during the development of hydrocarbon fields. Decrease in the quality of oil and gas reserves, development of fields in difficult environment conditions and in the Arctic, oil and gas prices development lead to an increase in the sensitivity of new field’s development profitability from the parameters of the development system and field facilities. Infrastructure of a field for the development of a gas field is associated with significant capital costs, both for the construction of wells and local infrastructure facilities, and for the construction of facilities for the preparation and transportation of gas. Therefore, one of the main tasks in the design of gas field development is the calculation of the optimal parameters of the development system - the number of wells and gas production plateau. Now the most well-known approaches to solving this problem are the calculation of different development variants using integrated numerical hydrodynamic models (Apasov et.al., 2018), taking into account all the features of the field under consideration or using analytical models based on the fundamental principles of filtration theory and development experience. In such conditions, when solving optimization problems, it is necessary to take into account all the components of the production system (Khasanov et.al., 2020), otherwise it can be an incorrectly assessment of the economic effect of optimization and face the unprofitability of the developed design solutions. For most oil fields, the interinfluence of the reservoir part of the field, well lifts and the infrastructure is relatively weak, therefore, these parts can be optimized separately. When designing the development of fields with oil rims and gas fields, especially multilayer ones, optimization requires searching for a global optimal solution, investigating the existence and uniqueness of such a solution - on the models describing the field and interaction of the infrastructure, well lifts and the reservior part.

Currently, under the conditions of increasing depletion of hydrocarbon reserves in Russia, it is necessary to consider the resource potential of poorly-researched oil and gas objects as a factor for ensuring the sustainable development of the oil and gas complex, in the context of the concept formation of rational subsoil utilization and a circular economy. The methodology of this study is based on a clear sequence of geological and economic studies of poorly-researched oil and gas objects, including four stages, such as analysis of the raw material base, assessment of the raw material potential, determination of technological development parameters, and economic evaluation. The methods of the probabilistic estimation of oil resources of the forecasted objects with regard to geological risk are outlined. Software packages “EVA—Risk Analysis” and “EVA—Economic Evaluation of Oil and Gas Field Development Projects” were used for estimation. The result of the study is the determination of the geological and economic efficiency of the development of nine hydrocarbon objects with the determination of the order of their further geological exploration, and introduction into industrial development on the example of the poorly-researched region of the Timan-Pechora oil and gas province located in the Arctic zone.

Arctic Exploration

It wasn’t too long ago that Arctic oil and gas exploration enjoyed celebrity status as the industry’s last frontier, chock full of gigantic unexplored hydrocarbon deposits just waiting to be developed. Fast forward and less than a decade later, the same climate change that made Arctic oil and gas more accessible has caused an about-face as governments and the world’s supranational energy companies rebrand and target control of greenhouse gases (GHG) to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Among countries with Arctic coastlines, Canada has focused its hydrocarbon production on its oil sands which sit well below the Arctic Circle; Greenland has decided to not issue any new offshore exploration licenses (https://jpt.spe.org/greenland-says-no-to-oil-but-yes-to-mining-metals-for-evs), and while Norway is offering licenses in its “High North,” the country can’t find many takers. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) reported that while 26 companies applied for licenses in 2013, this year’s bid round attracted only seven participants. Norway is Europe’s largest oil producer after Russia with half of its recoverable resources still undeveloped and most of that found in the Barents Sea where the NPD says only one oil field and one gas field are producing. That leaves Russia and the US—geopolitical rivals which are each blessed with large Arctic reserves and the infrastructure to develop those riches—but whose oil and gas industries play different roles in each nation’s economy and domestic political intrigues. Russia sees its Arctic reserves, particularly gas reserves, as vital to its national security, considering that oil and gas accounts for 60% of Russian exports and from 15 to 20% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to Russia’s Skolkovo Energy Centre. With navigation now possible year­round along the Northern Sea Route, Russia’s LNG champion and its largest independent gas producer, Novatek, is moving forward with exploration to expand its resource base and build infrastructure to ship product east to Asia and west to Europe. https://jpt.spe.org/russian­lng­aims­high­leveraging­big­reserves­and­logistical­advantages As a result, Russia’s state­owned majors—Rosneft, Gazprom, and Gazprom Neft—are lining up behind their IOC colleague as new investment in Arctic exploration and development is encouraged and rewarded by the Kremlin. In contrast, the American Petroleum Institute reports that the US oil and gas industry contributes 8% to US GDP, a statistic that enables the US to have a more diverse discussion than Russia about the role that oil and gas may play in any future energy mix. That is unless you happen to be from the state of Alaska where US Arctic oil and gas is synonymous with Alaskan oil and gas, and where the US Geological Survey estimates 27% of global unex­plored oil reserves may lie. Though Alaska is responsible for only 4% of US oil and gas production, those revenues covered two-thirds of Alaska’s state budget in 2020 despite the state’s decline in crude production in 28 of the past 32 years since it peaked at 2 million B/D in 1988, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Equipment And Pipelines

At the present stage of gas field development, the products of many mining facilities have increased content of corrosive CO2 . The corrosive effect of CO2 on steel equipment and pipelines is determined by the conditions of its use. CO2 has a potentially wide range of usage at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Simulation tests and analysis were carried out to assess the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. Gas production facilities demonstrate several corrosion formation zones: lower part of the pipe (when moisture accumulates) and top of the pipe (in case of moisture condensation). The authors have analyzed the main factors influencing the intensity of carbon dioxide corrosion processes at hydrocarbon production with CO2 , its storage and use for various technological purposes. The main mechanism for development of carbon dioxide corrosion is presence/condensation of moisture, which triggers the corrosion process, including the formation of local defects (pits, etc.). X-ray diffraction was used for the analysis of corrosion products formed on the steel surface, which can have different protective characteristics depending on the phase state (amorphous or crystalline).

The Yamal Peninsula

Huge reserves of hydrocarbons on the shelf of the Kara Sea, adjacent to the west coast of the Yamal Peninsula are to be developed in the XXI century. This large oil and gas area in northern West Siberia has prospective resources of 56 trillion barrels of oil equivalents (boe). The Russia Federation has no other regions with similar concentrations of undeveloped hydrocarbons. Creating this unique Kara Sea gas production centre could provide in the years 2015–2030 a production of at least 800 billion Sm3 of gas per year providing both domestic and external demand with this fuel, and supply it to the external market, (http://oilgasindustry.ru).

Abstract In the era of all-encompassing Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT), mastery of Instrument Control (I&C) and SCADA systems deployment is becoming more important as the Operational Technology (OT) foundation for digital integration, data gathering, processing, analytics, and the optimization of business results. Integration and communication between different I&C and SCADA products and systems in an Oil and Gas project represent a significant challenge. The issues encountered on projects globally can prolong project schedules from weeks to months with consequential impacts on commercial gas production, project cash flow, and economics. This paper presents how to enable digital operations through holistic design, well-organized kickoff, effective Integrated Factory Acceptance Test (IFAT), and timely commissioning of I&C and SCADA systems for surface facilities of a gas field development project. It provides a feasible, economical and proven solution to address the foregoing challenges. Furthermore, in this paper we present a snapshot of how to use the latest data-science technology to bring out the value of the gold mine - big data generated by the I&C and SCADA systems.

The article is devoted to evaluating the effectiveness of implementing the APRS-18 lifting unit in order to improve the technology of underground repair of oil wells that have entered the late stage of development. The feasibility of implementing the unit is justified by the current stage of development of PJSC Tatneft and the state of the reserves structure of the developed fields. In conditions when the share of hard-to-recover oil reserves has increased to 86%, effective field development is impossible without the introduction of new equipment and technology. The article highlights the advantages of the APRS-18 lifting unit for repairing deeper wells working on Devon, and outlines the goals and objectives of implementing the unit. The economic efficiency of implementing APRS-18 units in Yamashneft NGDU, which is one of the leading oil and gas production departments in the structure of PJSC Tatneft, is calculated. Risks and uncertainties of the project are considered and identified, and the effectiveness of its implementation is proved at relatively low capital costs
