Scientific and technical bases of geodynamic safety of development of hydrocarbonic resources of the Western sector of the Russian Arctic
- Authors:
- A. I. Kalashnik
The concept of basic researches of geodynamic safety oil and gas objects, consisting that the oil and gas object with the geological environment containing it is considered as the difficult open prirodno-technical system which geomechanical evolution is carried out by cyclic alternation of stages of linear and nonlinear deformation, with probability of spasmodic transition or bifurcation is developed. Methodical approaches to the analysis and an estimation of geodynamic risks are offered. The system structure of geodynamic monitoring of extraction, storage and pipeline transportation of the hydrocarbonic raw materials is developed for the western sector of the Russian Arctic, considering tectonofizical features of region and including complexes of natural measurements, modelling and expert estimations.

Prospects for Russian-Norwegian cooperation in developing arctic continental shelf
- Authors:
- A. K. Krivorotov
For geographic, economic and historical reasons, Russia and Norway tend to be natural partners in the development of Arctic offshore petroleum resources. The article outlines key potential areas of such cooperation: joint prospecting and development of oil&gas fields (including new opportunities arising from the recent delimitation of the Barent Sea), supply industry, applied study of the ‘Norwegian model’ for managing petroleum cluster, cooperation in petroleum-related education. Practical examples are given, including notably the experience of Shtokman Development AG, the first JV with Russian and Norwegian investments to develop a natural gas field in the Arctic.

Institutional aspects of a regional geological survey on the continental shelf of the Russian Federation
- Authors:
- M. Yu. Shkatov
- N. V. Sigitova
Comprehensive analysis of different institutional models of investments is given for regional geological survey of the Continental Shelf of the Russian Federation. Specific risks of any specific investment model is described. State, general corporate and junior companies models are discussed. National Operator of Marine Petroleum Geological Surveys (NOGS) model is suggested as a reasonable pathway to decline risks and achieve mutual effectiveness of state and private investments. NOGS mission and some functional features as a state-owned public limited company opened for both portfolio and project private investments are shown.
