One of the topical issues is the study of the formation conditions, geological structure, chemical composition and methods of development of the "Duzdag" salt deposit, formed in the Babek region of the Nakhchivan depression on the territory of Azerbaijan, in order to meet the salt needs of the population. The field is divided into two sections: southern - Nakhchivan and Sust, located 4.5 km north-west of it. The physical and mechanical properties of both sections are close to each other. Losses are allowed during field development due to the fact that salt layers alternate with clay layers. The constantly growing demand for salt has predetermined the need to develop more advanced and progressive production methods based on the mechanization of technological processes, the use of new technologies and world experience. Depending on the formation of salt deposits, different methods of salt extraction are used in world practice. The main method of production of table salt in the world should be its extraction in the form of a solution and evaporation in the sun. The share of each of these methods is about 35%, and about 30% of the salt is extracted from an underground mine. The productive layer of the Nakhchivan rock salt deposit is 93-95% halite and is of high quality. The excess content of clay minerals in the field forces them to be used only in animal husbandry. Frosts drilled in the Nakhchivan rock salt deposit can be widely used in the treatment of liver diseases. The mountain has 130 million tons of natural salt reserves that are effective in treating respiratory ailments. Since the ice is horizontal, patients adapt to the underground part. To open new production facilities and treatment facilities in Duzdag, it is necessary to continue the installation of equipment that meets modern standards, the introduction of mines into a fully automated, controlled technological regime, equipped with a modern ventilation system. Keywords: Nakhchivan salt deposit, processing methods, salt beds.

The Polkowice-Sieroszowice Mine the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. uses the georadar method to recognize the geological structure of the Zechstein (Upper Permian) Oldest Halite rock salt deposits (Na1). The incentive to use the georadar was the occurrence of a gas risk in mining excavations. This method is ideal for locating anhydrite blocks, that are potential sites of hydrogen sulphide accumulation, and is helpful in determining the top and base of the salt deposits. In the tests, 100 MHz and 30 MHz antennas were used, which reached the ranges of 40 m and 60 m and resolutions of 0.25 m and 1.0 m, respectively. The profiling with use of a georadar was performed in research boreholes and along the floors of excavation drifts.

Trade Offs

Offshore gas development projects including the North West Shelf of Australia continue to develop new technologies in order to reduce development costs. Given that the number of development wells directly relates to capital expenditure, past attempts have focussed on obtaining higher gas rates out of conventional well designs by carefully managing erosional limits, which, in turn, tend to restrict the use of higher offtake rates.A strategy based on safely flowing gas wells at higher rates results in fewer wells and delays the phasing-in of additional wells, both of which result in economic enhancement. In recent times the industry has increasingly moved to large-bore gas well technology as a means of realising this strategy. Large-bore gas wells are defined as wells equipped with production tubing and flow control devices larger than 7” or 177 mm. Originally developed for land-based operations, this technology is increasingly moving offshore into totally subsea systems. One factor limiting the speed of adoption of this technology is the trade-off that exists between the increased offtake rates offered by large-bore systems and the risks posed by wear due to erosion in and around the wellhead area caused by any solids entrained in the gas stream.The problem becomes more acute when different-sized well designs employ the same wellhead configurations, because the upper wellhead area is usually the critical and limiting wear component.This paper summarises the recent developments in large-bore offshore applications and presents a consistent methodology showing how different gas well designs can be compared using hydraulic and erosional considerations. Additional trade-offs posed by reliable solids monitoring and the adoption of untested wellhead and intervention designs are discussed. In many cases, hybrid designs based on large diameter tubulars but with conventional wellheads may offer a useful balance between higher well rates and adoption of proven technology. The results shown here are directly applicable to alternative well designs presently under consideration for a number of offshore reservoir developments.

Abstract. The solution mining of salt mineral resources may contaminate groundwater and lead to water inrush out of the ground due to brine leakage. Through the example of a serious groundwater inrush hazard in a large salt-mining area in Tongbai County, China, this study mainly aims to analyse the source and channel of the inrushing water. The mining area has three different types of ore beds including trona (trisodium hydrogendicarbonate dihydrate, also sodium sesquicarbonate dihydrate, with the formula Na2CO3 × NaHCO3 × 2H2O, it is a non-marine evaporite mineral), glauber (sodium sulfate, it is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2SO4 as well as several related hydrates) and gypsum (a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with chemical formula CaSO4 × 2H2O). Based on characterisation of the geological and hydrogeological conditions, the hydrochemical data of the groundwater at different points and depths were used to analyse the pollution source and the pollutant component from single or mixed brine by using physical–chemical reaction principle analysis and hydrogeochemical simulation method. Finally, a possible brine leakage connecting the channel to the ground was discussed from both the geological and artificial perspectives. The results reveal that the brine from the trona mine is the major pollution source; there is a NW–SE fissure zone controlled by the geological structure that provides the main channels through which brine can flow into the aquifer around the water inrush regions, with a large number of waste gypsum exploration boreholes channelling the polluted groundwater inrush out of the ground. This research can be a valuable reference for avoiding and assessing groundwater inrush hazards in similar rock-salt-mining areas, which is advantageous for both groundwater quality protection and public health.

Energy consumption all over the world is constantly growing. To save energy, new technologies are being developed for the efficient use of energy resources. The goal of all new developments is to use less energy to provide the same level of energy supply for technological processes or buildings. The problem of energy saving is relevant for the ventilation system. Together with the removed air, a large amount of heat is lost, which is not advisable. In order to avoid these losses, heat recuperators began to be used, heating the cold supply air due to the warm air removed from the room. This development belongs to the field of energy saving. The goal is to increase efficiency by reheating the air after the heater with the help of a recuperator for a given temperature difference in the supply air before and after the recuperative heat exchanger. The development is a design of a ventilation unit with air removal and supply air ducts, combined into one housing with a separate, according to the “screw” principle, heat transfer wall, for use in the ventilation system in order to ensure an optimal microclimate in the room. Thus, as a result of using the presented device, the efficiency of the room ventilation unit is increased by reducing the energy consumption for heating the supply air with a heater.

The Stability

The production of hydrocarbons is associated with a change in the physical and mechanical properties of oil and gas reservoirs under the influence of rock and reservoir pressures. Deformation of the reservoir due to a drop in reservoir pressure leads to the formation of various natural and man-made geodynamic and geomechanical phenomena, one of which is the formation of a subsidence trough of the earth's surface, which leads to a violation of the stability of field technological objects.In order to ensure geodynamic safety, a set of works is used, which includes analysis of geological and field indicators and geological and tectonic models of the field, interpretation of aerospace photographs, identification of active faults, construction of a predictive model of subsidence of the earth's surface of the field with identification of zones of geodynamic risk.This work was carried out to assess the predicted parameters of rock displacement processes during field development; even insignificant disturbances in the operation of technological equipment caused by deformation processes can cause significant damage.Prediction of rock displacements is possible only on the basis of a reservoir deformation model that adequately reflects the geomechanical and geodynamic processes occurring in the subsoil. The article presents a model of reservoir deformation with a drop in reservoir pressure, describes its numerical implementation, and performs calculations of schemes for typical development conditions.
