The development of gas-oil reservoir with condensate gas is more difficult than pure gas reservoir or oil reservoir. This article gives the example of G oil reservoir the development of gas cap and oil rim. According to the characteristic of the oil developing and the results of numerical simulation, the rules for oil and gas developing and developing time have been defined, by which the recoveries of gas, oil, and condensate oil will reach a significantly high level.

Hydrotreating process of Sunan candlenut oil by using NiMo-γAl2O3 catalyst has been successfully investigated. Preparation of NiMo-γAl2O3 catalyst by using dipping impregnation method generated catalyst used for hydrotreating process. This method consists of three stages: support activation, impregnation, and calcination. This factors influencing the process including temperature, pressure, and the ratio of Sunan candlenut oil to the H2 gas factor were examined. The hydrotreating product of fuel similar to oil was obtained at a minimum temperature of 380 °C, a pressure of 30–60 bar, and the ratio of the sample to H2 gas of 0.5–1. The diesel fuel from physical properties range for the density of 0.82–0.86 g/cm3, and kinematic viscosity of 2–6 cSt have been fulfilled by hydrotreating result. Gasoline, naphtha, diesel oil, and gas oil products of Sunan candlenut oil were obtained by distillation from hydrotreating process. Sunan candlenut oil fuel qualified fuel requirement.

This article surveys recent construction-related case law pertaining to the oil and gas sector, and examines how these decisions impact the law of bonding, tendering, liens, and arbitration. The authors review jurisprudence, legislation, and contractual language in these areas, and provide a critical analysis of the law in order to suggest improvements and anticipate future innovations. The authors also provide practical advice regarding mechanisms that owners, contractors, and subcontractors can employ to protect themselves from risks and uncertainties in contemporary construction law, with a view to avoiding disputes and if necessary, resolving them. This article serves both as an illustration of the structure of contemporary construction law as-built, and as a blueprint for those aspects of the law that are still under construction.

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
