- Authors:
- I. V. Valiullin
The article analyzes the results of comprehensive studies of physical, chemical and optical properties of oil of Vinokurovskaya deposit, located on the northern side of the South Tatar dome-shaped fold. Terrigenous sediments of the Bobrikovsky horizon of the Vinokurovskaya deposit were selected as the object of study. The studies included taking and dewatering of oil samples, measuring their density, kinematic viscosity, surface tension and optical properties. Standard features, correlation dependences of light absorption coefficient on physical properties, complex physical, chemical and optical characteristics of produced oil were established. Regularities of light absorption coefficient changes in oil and water-oil zones have been studied. A set of quantitative and qualitative optical characteristics was developed and their factor analysis was carried out. The influence of capacitance-fluid-absorbing properties of the reservoir, such as sphericity, permeability, water permeability and effective thickness of the reservoir, on the physical and chemical properties of the produced oil, including the optical properties of complex oil, has been studied.

Modeling of main non-isothermal pipeline in complicated operating conditions
- Authors:
- A. A. Glushkov
The article presents an algorithm for calculating operating modes (both steady-state and non-steady-state) of non-isothermal oil pipelines in complex conditions. The proposed algorithm is used for pipelines with several pumping stations and for individual pipeline sections (both above-ground and underground). Calculations can be carried out in a given temperature range, which increases their accuracy. In addition, the algorithm takes into account changes in the operating mode, the influence of additional pumps on the main pipeline and heat points located along the pipeline. It also allows to determine the internal heat transfer coefficient. This algorithm can be applied to fluids of any rheological model. It has been tested on real main and industrial pipelines. It is supplied together with a software package.

Influence of engineering-geological conditions on formation of level of reaction and spectral composition of ground vibrations at strong earthquakes
- Authors:
- N. A. Gromova
As a result of detailed seismic zoning on the basis of analysis of various databases with the help of the American program Seisrick-3 a set of probability maps for the territory of Vladikavkaz was made. The map with a probability of 2% comes closest to the accepted level of seismic hazard for average ground conditions. The southern part of the city is located in the zone with intensity of 8 points, and the northern part -7 points. The obtained data allow us to construct maps of seismic microzonation of the city territory. In the 8-point part of the city it is possible to obtain zones with 7 and 9-point intensity, and in the 7-point zone - zones with 6 and 8-point intensity. These maps are a direct basis for earthquake-resistant construction, and their use will allow to assess the seismic risk of the building and to form the directions of corresponding preventive measures.

Gold in jewelry art of masters of pre-Columbian America
- Authors:
- S. V. Komashchenko
The features of gold mining, its primary processing and use in jewelry art on the territory of South and Central America in pre-Columbian times are considered. The development of Indian jewelry became possible after the discovery of rich gold-bearing veins in the Central and Western Cordilleras and placers in the valleys of the Andes. Development of deposits was carried out by means of shaft-wells not more than 1m in diameter. Gold refining was one of the most advanced metallurgical operations used by pre-Columbian jewelers. Tum-baga, an alloy of gold and copper in the ratio of 3:7, was most often used in articles. The technique of gilding gave the articles made of tumbaga or low-grade gold the appearance of objects made of pure gold. Forging, joining parts with the help of gold nails and casting hollow pieces, known as the lost wax technique, were very common in metalworking techniques, which made it possible to produce unique jewelry pieces.

Prevention of formation and negative influence of persistent water-in-oil emulsions by sucker rod well pumping units
- Authors:
- A. A. Lutfullin
Water encroachment of well products at late stages of oil field development leads to formation of oil-in-water emulsion. At water cut of 30-80% three-component emulsions are formed, which lead to rod sticking and, eventually, to rod string breakage. Water-in-oil emulsions differ from crude oil in both viscosity and initial shear stress. The increase in viscosity of water-in-oil emulsions when the rods are mechanically actuated occurs approximately in the first third of the lift string, starting at the pump. At further lifting the viscosity of the mixture increases not so intensively, and its growth is due to the decrease in temperature and pressure during the ascent to the wellhead. In the work measures are proposed to reduce the hydrodynamic resistance to rod movement at load reduction.

Application of organic geochemistry methods to control the movement of WOCs and GOCs
- Authors:
- A. Yu. Popov
Methods of organic geochemistry of naphthides and organic substances of rocks are widely used not only in the search for oil and gas. In the last decade, they have become more and more actively used in the practice of field development. In international practice this direction is known as "reservoir geochemistry" or oil and gas geochemistry and includes a wide range of studies in the field of bitumen science of rocks and geochemistry of hydrocarbon systems. In particular, the ratio of naphthides and bitumens in the development of deposits determines the sources of deposit formation, the paths and distances of primary and secondary migration of hydrocarbons, the specifics of changes in their structure and properties over time at the inflows of accumulations and in a production well.

Determination of relative position of wells
- Authors:
- A. Boshkenyanu
- N. Makovei
There are many situations when it is necessary to know the mutual location in space of two or more wells: in oil-bearing areas with high well density, when drilling directional or horizontal wells next to vertical wells, when directing a well near an abandoned area that may be damaged, when reentering and multilateral wells, when drilling rescue wells, etc. This is primarily necessary during the design phase and the well creation phase. This problem involves some procedures, direct or indirect, which are used to determine the distance between two wells at any of their points, as well as the position of one well relative to the other. This paper presents a general method for determining the spatial direction of a well using deviation measurements and a way to graphically represent this direction in two or three dimensions. The aim of the work is to realize the algorithm used to determine the minimum distance between two wells, which can be easily used if a computer is available.

Technical silicification of wood was performed to improve the properties (e.g. wear resistance, water absorption, hardness) of the material. Experimental studies were carried out using two types of wood (oak and spruce) and three different sources of silica including sodium metasilicate (Na 2 SiO 3 ), a colloidal suspension of silica (CSS), and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Experiments were done in the temperature range between 40 °С and 80 °C under normal pressure in glass beakers and at higher temperatures (up to 138 °C) and pressures (up to 12 bar) in autoclaves. Besides microscopic investigations (binocular, polarizing microscopy, SEM, cathodoluminescence microscopy), measurements of water absorption and hardness were performed. CL microscopy proved to be the most effective method to reveal the distribution of SiO 2 within and on the surface of the wood samples. Material silicified with colloidal silica and TEOS, respectively absorbed about 40 % less water than untreated specimens. Likewise, the Brinell hardness of treated samples could be increased by nearly 100 % compared to fresh wood samples, which is mainly caused by vitreous silica coatings (generated by sol-gel transformation) at the sample surface.

- M. Marku
The work shows general aspects concerning nodal analysis and its application to naturally flowing wells. Also in this paper we investigate fluid flow through porous media and two-phase flow rising through tubing. For this purpose, we construct curves of inflow performance versus reservoir pressure and curves of tubing performance versus wellhead pressure. Based on these curves, the relationship of operating points at differential wellhead and reservoir pressures is established. Finally, conclusions on the gradient curves and curves of dependence of tubing performance on wellhead pressure and gas-oil ratio are given. In addition, the dynamics of change in the parameters of the production well depending on the dynamics of reservoir parameters and at cessation of production by natural inflow is established.

Marine/continental facies patterns, sequence stratigraphy and a gocad-3D-modelling of the carboniferous/permian-boundary of the Donetsk basin
- Authors:
- Karin Ritzmann
The Donetsk basin is the southeastern part of the intracratonic Pripyat-Dniepr-Donetsk Riftsystem, striking in a NW-SE direction from Belarus through Ukraine, over a distance of c. 1500 km the East-European Craton. The profiles of Late Carboniferous and Permian are characterised by interfingering marine-continental sediments in the Donetsk basin. Therefore, the possibility exists, to correlate the non-marine Carboniferous / Permian profiles of Western-Europe with the global marine stratigraphical scale. Detailed analyses of facies patterns and the reconstruction of the depositional setting are based on extensive fieldwork within the Donetsk basin. Microfacies analyses and micropalaeontological investigations of 110 limestone specimens were carried out. Furthermore, the straticraphic cross-sections (stratotype-key-section) of Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian succession of Artemovsk area was correlated with the marine dominated stratotype section of the Pre-Donetsk basin, the well Skosyrskaya N 4199 (Alekseeva et al. 1983). The maximum flooding surfaces of the transgressive system tracts are represented by carbonate layers. SB and mfs are distinctive horizons throughout the studied area. The results of facies analysis and the sequence-stratigraphical deposition-model were used to develop a relative sea-level curve of the Donetsk basin. This was the base for the correlation of the relative sea-level curve of the Donetsk basin with the global sea-level curve as well as for the estimation of climatic fluctuations as controlling factors of the sea level fluctuations. A GOCAD-3D-model was developed to analyse the facies patterns in three dimensions and to understand subsidence processes during the basin evolution.

Calculation of dissipation energies and parameters of stress waves at explosion of cylindrical explosive charges in a rock
- Authors:
- V. E. Brovin
- M. G. Menzhulin
A significant part of energy (up to 70%) in explosive destruction is irreversibly spent on heating of rock particles in the near zone and represents dissipative losses. The consequence of intensive dissipative processes is an increase in temperature and the development of induced microcracking in the medium deformed by the explosion. A significant fraction of energy remains in the explosion cavity in the form of internal energy of detonation products and can also be attributed to dissipative losses. Thus, only a part of the explosion energy is spent on the formation of mechanical disturbances. Therefore, when solving problems about the formation and propagation of stress waves, it is necessary to keep in mind the effects of energy dissipation.

X-ray spectral studies of sorption mechanism on the surface of iron-manganese nodules
- Authors:
- M. Yu. Ionova
A method of analyzing the changes in the state of the sorbent surface depending on the time of sorption of petroleum products from aqueous solutions for different granulometric composition of the initial sorbent using coherent scattered X-ray radiation has been developed. The theoretical basis and experimental estimates of changes in the angle of coherently scattered photons from the sorbent surface are given. It is obtained that the angle of coherent scattering of photons depends on the class of sor-bent coarseness. In the process of sorption there is a change in the surface structure, which leads to a change in the scattering angle. Thus, knowing the angle of scattered radiation, it is possible to determine the type of the surface of any porous sorbent, as well as to estimate the degree of filling of the surface with the sorbed substance.

Copper extraction from diluted solutions using hollow fiber supported liquid membranes
Copper extraction from wastewater using a liquid membrane based on hollow fibers impregnated with M5640 material has been experimentally investigated. The permeability coefficients increase with increasing pH of the initial solution. At high concentration of hydrogen ions in the stock solution, the process was controlled by diffusion of CuR2 through the liquid membrane. At low concentrations of hydrogen ions, the permeability becomes independent of this factor and the process is controlled by diffusion through an aqueous diffusion layer formed at the interface between the stock solution and the liquid membrane. Experimental studies were consistent with the assumptions of the Danesi model.

Experimental researches on metals extraction with organic solvents by new methods using liquid membranes
- Authors:
- Mihaela Caltaru
- Nicolae Petrescu
A hollow fiber based liquid membrane impregnated with organic solvent M5640 diluted with kerosene is an attractive method to extract copper from low copper content (500ppm) industrial wastewater. The flow rate of the feed solution affects the permeability of the membrane. The optimum flow rates of the stock solution and strip solution were 2080 mL/h and 6264 mL/h, respectively. It can be considered that under the above conditions the resistance to mass transfer was close to the minimum due to the small thickness of the diffusion boundary layer.

Efficiency of methane drainage of coal seams in Polish underground mines
- Authors:
- Sebastian Napieraj
Coal exploitation in Polish mines is conducted under conditions of associated natural hazards such as methane, fire and coal dust explosion hazards. Orogen drainage is one of the main means of self-monitoring of methane hazards. The possibility of orogen drainage has been approached both from the surface and from underground workings with openings. Methane drainage in a Polish coal mine is caused by: former mine workings, dog-hole workings, especially during their sinking, and haulm. Methane drainage is estimated by the methane flux accompanied in drainage processes to the total methane flux from drainage and ventilation.

Methodology for assessing the environmental effects during the mining of solid rock by taking into account non-explosive mining techniques
- Authors:
- Pierre Schmieder
The close proximity of mining operations to other commercial and residential properties, conservation areas, and public sensitivity to emissions has led to negative attitudes towards mining in the surrounding areas. Above all, the use of drilling and blasting is objected to, with demands for more environmentally friendly mining methods. It is in this context that non-explosive mining methods are being considered as an option. Indeed, for some quarry operators, the use of such methods is the only alternative. The question is what are the real advantages of these methods and what is the balance between the possible improvement of environmental impacts on the one hand and the technological potential as well as the costs on the other. This paper will therefore consider aspects of the assessment of extraction technologies in the context of their environmental impacts and costs. It is intended to assess the mining techniques for solid rock in their entirety. This paper will therefore look at the aspects for assessing mining techniques in the context of their environmental impact and the costs.

Pollution of the agricultural environment due to the use of chemicals is a serious problem in many countries. Its aim should be to minimize the threat of contamination arising from chemical crop protection. Chemical intervention will only be done properly when it is done with technically efficient equipment. Therefore, it became necessary to introduce certification studies of plant protection equipment. Since 1999 mandatory technical tests of sprayers have been started in Poland. These tests check the serviceability of the sprayer. The legal basis for the system of technical tests of sprayers was the Plant Protection Act.

- Authors:
- S. V. Artemenko
The article deals with the problems of mineral processing in separators with dense medium. Low and medium grade coals are not sufficiently concentrated in serial separator designs. The paper proposes an innovative design of a dense media separator with a membrane installed in its bath. The membrane is driven by an eccentric drive. Prevention of mixing of light fractions with heavy fractions is achieved due to the uniform distribution of material throughout the volume of the bath under the action of horizontal pulsating flows created by the movement of the diaphragm. As a result, more efficient concentration of material is observed compared to concentration in existing separator designs.

Improvement of magnetic separation of ferromagnetic materials
- Authors:
- V. V. Demin
Magnetic flocculation is of great importance in magnetic beneficiation processes. It is unavoidable in any kind of processing of fine-grained iron-containing materials. This phenomenon reduces the efficiency of both classification and grinding, and also has a negative impact on wet magnetic separation. A promising way to solve the problem of magnetic agglomeration is the use of sodium silicate as a reacting agent. Improvement of the wet magnetic separation process will make it possible to grind thinly melted ores up to complete stripping and obtain high quality concentrates. Intensification of magnetic separation will allow processing rebellious ores, the beneficiation of which is currently associated with significant losses of the iron component.

- Authors:
- E. K. Yurkova
Modern methods of technical control based on mathematical statistics methods used at Novokuznetsk Aluminum Plant are considered. The new information-technological system introduced in 2004 allows to evaluate the stability of electrolysis production processes by the following main parameters: cryolite ratio, metal level, electrolyte level and temperature, calcium content, frequency of anodic actions. The application of the new software to control electrolyte composition is shown by means of control charts, Pareto diagrams and histograms. It is revealed that the highest percentage of deviations is observed for the parameters obtained by instrumental measurement (metal level, electrolyte level). Compliance with normative and technical documentation is not a quality criterion. To ensure the stability and maintenance of quality indicators and parameters of the electrolysis process at an acceptable level, a number of measures are proposed.

Cost estimation of completeness and quality of mineral extraction from subsoil
- Authors:
- K. F. Melikhova
Globalization of the international mineral resources market leads to a high level of competition between producers of raw materials. The fundamental strategies for the survival of the mining industry in these conditions are to improve the efficiency and quality of mineral extraction, reduce the cost of mining and processing of mineral raw materials. The well-known criterion - the profit received from 1 ton of extracted reserves, does not reflect the dynamics of the above factors. Therefore, a new algorithm for assessing the specific cost criteria of efficiency and quality of copper ore extraction is proposed and demonstrated on the example of Zhezkazgan copper and lead deposit, a new algorithm for assessing the specific cost criteria of efficiency and quality of copper ore extraction.

Research of geometrical and strength parameters of water-insulating cofferdams for protection from water inflows from liquidated mines
- Authors:
- M. A. Ryazanov
Computer modeling of various designs of water-insulating cofferdams intended for protection against water inflow from mine workings of liquidated mines is considered. On finite-element models the stress-strain state of flat cofferdams is investigated, isopoles of equivalent compressive and equivalent tensile stresses in the cofferdam and the surrounding rock mass are constructed. The most dangerous sections were determined and the equivalent stresses were plotted. The areas of application and the necessary geometric and strength parameters of flat lintels are established. To increase the bearing capacity and reduce the cost of installation of lintels, it is proposed to use curved lintels, which allow to significantly reduce tensile stresses and thereby increase reliability and expand the area of application of lintels. The rational parameters and application area of curvilinear lintels have been established.

- Authors:
- A. S. Pchelnikova

- Authors:
- Mariusz Kapusta
In Poland, the process of restructuring the mining industry began in 1989. Huge state centers, transferred to the following governments, were supposed to bring this sector to profitability and competitiveness on the domestic and international market. The lack of consistency in the implementation of restructuring processes has resulted in the implementation of various programs and the achievement of only parts of these reforms over the last 15 years of reforms. Reforming the mining industry is a very complex process. In this article the authors try to summarize the course of the existing rules and the perspective of the mining industry development in Poland in the coming years.

Adaptative Holt’s forecasting model based on immune paradigm
- Authors:
- Tomasz Pelech
In modern management, decision making necessitates forecasting (using appropriate methods) to achieve profitable and smooth functioning of both companies and SMEs. The Holt model is a method that can be used to forecast stock exchange quotes. It is based on the values of two parameters estimating the expected value and its trend. To build a dynamic forecasting model, it is necessary to apply adaptive rules for adjusting the parameters. The paper shows the applicability of the immune paradigm on the example of Holt's adaptive model. Preliminary results of calculations using the constructed algorithm show that the immune paradigm can be considered as a promising way to improve the results (accuracy) of forecasting. They are not absolutely better than the results obtained with the classical Holt method due to a number of factors such as the length of input data, the peculiarity of the method and the design of the algorithm, which is still in the development stage.
