Возможность получения перспективных дорожных битумов марок PG в условиях реализации проекта строительства установки ЭЛОУ-АВТ-6 ПАО АНК «Башнефть» «Башнефть-Уфанефтехим»

The article investigates possible options for processing heavy oils entering refineries separately or when they are processed together with the oils of West Siberian deposits according to the bitumen profile. It is shown that the production of demanded unmodified grades of road bitumen PG 64-28 and PG 58-34 according to GOST R 58400.1 in the conditions of weighting of crude oil during the implementation of the ELOU-AVT-6 installation project at Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim, it is possible if measures are taken to compensate for the deficit in paraffin-naphthenic and aromatic compounds. For the production of these PG grades, an increased introduction of the TVG of this installation is required (from 25 to 40 %), however, it will not require the use of the TVG from AVT, which are in demand for oil production, processing mainly oil from West Siberian fields, or plasticizing components from the oil production complex (selective purification extracts).

Раскрытие ESG-факторов в интегрированной отчетности нефтедобывающих организаций как база для принятия инвестиционных решений

Abstract. Today organizations of the oil-producing complex are not limited to financial reporting forms that are mandatory for submission by national and international standards, but also compile reports on sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, environmental reporting, collectively referred to as integrated reporting. The increased attention of interested users and, mainly, investors, to environmental and social problems determine the importance and importance of the formation of integrated reporting by companies, disclosing information on both financial and non-financial indicators. In modern conditions, when the problem of climate change becomes more acute, the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the fight against corruption is underway, companies will apply the practice of disclosing ESG investment factors in reporting. Accordingly, in order to attract investors, Russian firms need to strive to meet the ESG criteria. Key and potential investors need objective, timely, complete and reliable information to make decisions about investing resources in an enterprise. The disclosure of these components in the reporting is the basis for meeting the information needs of a wide range of users and mainly plays an important role in making investment decisions. The information presented in the integrated reporting is primarily interesting and useful to investors — individuals and legal entities who make or plan to invest their capital in the company’s securities in order to obtain economic benefits and (or) exercise control, since the completeness and transparency of information disclosure in the integrated reporting reflects the investment attractiveness of the company and future benefits. The purpose of the study is to assess the degree of disclosure of information necessary for investors in the integrated reporting of large Russian organizations of the oil production complex. The research method is a quantitative and qualitative rating assessment of the specific weight of ESG factors in the integrated reporting of oil companies. As a result of the study, key ESG factors have been identified, which are currently insufficiently disclosed in non-financial statements of companies. The results of the study can be useful to companies when making decisions about the disclosure of ESG factors in integrated reporting.

Influence of the oil production complex on surface and underground water and their current ecological state

The article deals with the problems of surface waters in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra, which contain a large amount of oil products and phenols. Oil is the most dangerous pollutant for water resources. The land "flavored" with oil dies for several decades, oil oppresses soil biota, pollutes surface and ground waters. We need innovative purification methods and technologies to purify and improve the conditions of water.

Organic pollutants in indoor dust from Ecuadorian Amazonia areas affected by oil extractivism

Fifty-five household dust samples collected within six settlements surrounding oil production complexes along the Ecuadorian Amazonia were analysed to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates, alkylphenols (APs), bisphenol A (BPA), nicotine, organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCs) and organophosphorus pesticides. Studied areas are mainly affected by gas flares emissions and oil spilling coming from extractivist operations and pesticides used in agriculture. Median ΣPAHs values ranged from 739 to 1182 ng g−1 and up to 52% of the PAH dust concentrations were associated to petrogenic activities from crude oil extraction, according to diagnostic ratios. ΣPAHs and toxic equivalents based on benzo[a]pyrene concentration (ΣTEQBaP, ng g−1) suggested similar toxicities among the different areas. Individual lifetime cancer risk (ILCRdust) was calculated for ingestion and dermal contact exposure routes and a non-acceptable total carcinogenic risk of up to 10−4 (one case per ten thousand people) was found for newborns from 0 to 3 years-old in Pimampiro area. Plasticisers and OPFRs were present in dust at maximum median concentrations of 332,507 ng g−1 (DEHP), 5,249 ng g−1 (DBP), 1,885 ng g−1 (BPA), 871 ng g−1 (TBOEP) and 122 ng g−1 (TEHP). Some dust samples from Ecuadorian houses had high maximum levels of legacy and modern pesticides such as chlorpyrifos (up to 44,176 ng g−1), 4,4′-DDT (12,958 ng g−1), malathion (34,748 ng g−1) and α+β-endosulfan (10,660 ng g−1) attributed to inappropriate use and storage of the pesticides. Finally, nicotine was seldom detected (36 ng g−1). The sources and risks of these compounds are discussed based on the activities carried out in the study areas and attending to an additional non-cancer risk assessment which showed high hazard quotients (HQ) and hazard indexes (HI) for DEHP, DBP, 4,4′-DDT, malathion, chlorpyrifos, naphthalene and benzo[a]pyrene in newborns and children up to 16 years-old.

Impact of the oil production complex on land pollution in Russia

The assessment of the impact of the economic activities of the Russian oil-producing complex on land pollution contributes to the adoption of evolutionary management decisions. It also helps to take into account the opinion of society, the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In the oil complex, industrial pollution negatively affects flora and fauna. It's important to identify the level of exposure, the degree of its danger, the location of the contamination. The work deals with the methodology, information-logical and mathematical model of solving the above problem. The main result of the work is a system and procedure (technique) for analyzing the results of monitoring and forecasting of land cover take into consideration the sanitary and hygienic consequences of residual content of petroleum products. As a result of the system analysis, an approach to the construction of alternative solutions has been proposed, taking into account not only permissible pollution standards, but also environmental, sanitary and epidemiological norms and assessment methods. The emergence of soil systems, their categories, is taken into account. In particular, (in importance) risks for soil cover-morphological, bio-physical-chemical, ecological-health, toxic influence and irreversible processes and bifurcations, including taking into account regional peculiarities and restoration potential of soil, are considered. Proposed algorithm of simulation and system analysis is based on situational modeling. Evolutionary modeling allows you to adapt the prediction and assessment procedure (methodology) to the risk factors of the environment. It increases accuracy (formalization and evidence) and completeness of conclusions, efficiency of situation analysis, which affects manageability of risk both for oil complex and for individual enterprise of the industry. The results of the work may be used for the development of software tools, in particular expert and predictive systems. Situational models are needed when oil companies are addressing multi-criteria and multi-factor decision-making challenges.

Cyber-physical system for control the heat and mass transfer in the oil reservoir and producing pumping well

A special cyber-physical system is developed to control transient heat and mass transfer during the commissioning of the unified oil production complex consisted of oil reservoir, producing well equipped with electric submersible centrifugal pump, well production tree and ground-based control station. Two main elements of cyber-physical system are following: – computer simulator of heat and mass transfer in virtual oil production complex based on mathematical and numerical models of such processes along with simultaneous visualization of computational results; – portable imitation hardware of real ground-based equipment which is realized as 3D-printed plastic model consisted of control elements (pipeline valves, drossel chamber, ground-based control station) and recording devices (manometers, level indicator, liquid sampler and control station itself). Mechanisms of these elements are replaced by Arduino microchips to simulate the operation of real devices. An important feature of the cyber-physical system is the data exchange and interaction between oil production computer simulator and microcontroller software. Data transfer is going through the COM-ports of computer and microcontroller. The simulator sends calculated working characteristics of oil production complex to the memory of microcontroller, which not only analyzes incoming data but also displays it on the recording devices and forms necessary control parameters, which are sent back to simulator and affect the further behavior of the whole complex. Different elements of the CPS provides the possibility to control and visualize the commissioning of the oil production complex under consideration and the whole system is oriented to simulate the real technological actions performing by specialists in oil production.
