It is impossible to achieve this without the active implementation of the most effective modern technologies for enhanced oil recovery. This article aims to analyze the methods of enhanced oil recovery and oil production stimulation methods (EOR and PS) used at the KhMAO – Yugra fields on an industrial scale, their features and their contribution to additional oil production from 2001 to 2021. The article describes such technologies as sidetracking (STB), physical and chemical methods (FCM), hydraulic fracturing (HF), bottom-hole treatment (BHT), hydrodynamic methods (HDM), horizontal well drilling (SHD), as well as other geological and technical measures (GTM) aimed at optimizing well operation (other methods (OM)). The study showed that FCM, BHT and other well interventions became the most used. The share of additional oil produced through the use of EOR and PS has doubled since 2013: 8% in 2013, 16.2% in 2021. Hydraulic fracturing, deep drilling and sidetracking showed the highest efficiency. All this led to the stabilization of the annual oil production in KhMAO – Yugra and even to its growth in 2021. The use of enhanced oil recovery methods on a non-alternative basis in developed fields is especially important, because the share of hard-to-recover reserves is high and reaches 80% for some companies in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. For such fields, it is necessary to strengthen scientific research in the field of substantiation of optimal conditions for well construction, as well as the operation of development systems.","PeriodicalId":43752,"journal":{"name":"Georesursy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135039291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of the counter clinoforms of the Yarudeisky megaswell is based on a regional analysis of the structure of cross-layered deposits in conditions of extremely poor knowledge of the study area. Within the framework of western dipping clinoforms, possible oil and gas potential prospects for the Achimov complex within the boundaries of the Yarudeisky megaswell are identified. As a result of the analysis of geological and geophysical data, the boundaries of the distribution of opposing clinoform complexes in the study area were determined. The existing paleo-geomorphological conditions that contribute to the accumulation of sandstone with improved properties in the designated seismic complexes are presented. The fields of the Nadym oil and gas bearing region with the proven productivity of the Neocomian clinoform complex are indicated, which confirms the oil and gas potential of the region and suggests favorable conditions for the accumulation of hydrocarbons in the study area.","PeriodicalId":43752,"journal":{"name":"Georesursy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The improvement of hydrogen energy technologies plays a special role in the low-carbon development of the world economy. The main advantages of hydrogen are the possibility of obtaining it from various sources and the absence of carbon dioxide emissions when it is used as an energy carrier, which is especially important against the backdrop of the current climate agenda. In the meantime, this energy carrier is artificially created, since there are no deposits of free hydrogen in nature. Therefore, hydrogen should be perceived precisely as a “carrier” of energy, and not as a fuel. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the feasibility of building tidal power plants, the development of hydrogen technologies and industrial complexes in the Russian Federation.","PeriodicalId":43752,"journal":{"name":"Georesursy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The polygenic nature of Ti-Fe mineralization in Nauruz sill, Utlyktash layered lopolith and Uraz intrusion rocks has been established. The Nauruz massif is dominated by titanomagnetite, which crystallized both from the Ti-Fe-oxide liquid at the early magmatic stage and from the residual Ti-Fe-enriched silicate melt at the intermediate and late magmatic stages (~970–800°C). The most rich in Ti-Fe oxides (Fe2O3* up to 20.1 wt %, TiO2 up to 1.6 wt %, and V up to 430 ppm) is the middle zone of the sill associated with intrusion of magma enriched in orthopyroxene phenocrysts. Both titanomagnetite and ilmenite are widespread in the Utlyktash lopolith, forming the richest accumulations in the lower part of the massif (Fe2O3* up to 18.1 wt %, TiO2 up to 2.9 wt %, and V up to 545 g/t) due to gravitational settling of crystallizing phases. The gabbroids of the Uraz intrusion are similar in mineral and chemical composition, but differ from the Utlyktash lopolith in the patterns of formation of Ti-Fe mineralization, which requires a special study. In general, the geological settings for the formation of the Nauruz sill and Utlyktash lopolith are quite favorable for the formation of economic Fe-Ti ores.","PeriodicalId":43752,"journal":{"name":"Georesursy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most dangerous components of biochars is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are inevitably formed during the production of pyrogenic material. In this work, biochars obtained from various plant materials (millet, corn, willow, linden) under different pyrolysis temperatures were tested for the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The total content of PAHs in the studied samples ranged from 8.49 to 221.21 µg/kg, which does not exceed the limit concentrations established by the International Biochar Initiative. At the same time, polynuclear hydrocarbons with high carcinogenic and immunotoxic properties are found in the composition of biochars. A natural question arises about the effect of the final pyrolysis temperature on the total content and composition of PAHs in pyrolysis by-products. To study the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil, linden biochar obtained by pyrolysis at 250 °C was used, from which the contaminants were extracted and applied to the soil so that the concentration of the marker was 20 and 40 µg/kg. The determination of the residual amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was carried out after 1, 2, 6, and 11 months of incubation. Complete degradation of some 3–5-membered polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was found after 1–2 months of incubation. The most persistent pollutants were benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and pyrene, the concentration of which decreased to 31–71% on after 11 months of incubation. The slower degradation was found in the variant of the experiment with the high concentration level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It was concluded that in soils selective accumulation of polynuclear PAHs, that most resistant to biodegradation, can occur.","PeriodicalId":43752,"journal":{"name":"Georesursy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135039347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on visual analysis of temporal cross-sections, an assumption has been made regarding the correlation between reservoir development zones and paleo-channel systems of the Lower-Middle Jurassic deposits. In order to identify and locate such systems, an analysis of temporal cross-sections, maps of total Jurassic deposit thickness, and maps of dynamic attributes were conducted. As a result, areas of development of large paleo-channel systems (paleo-valleys) within the South Taymyr Monocline have been delineated through integration. These identified zones are characterized by relatively shallow burial depths of up to 2.5 km, the absence of abnormally high reservoir pressures (AHBP), and comparably high filtration-capacity properties for Jurassic reservoirs (porosity – 22%, permeability – 25–50 mD).

Six main species were distinguished by composition and morphology: high-grade in the form of isometric crystals; aggregates of gold crystals with 0–29% silver admixture; dendrites with up to 41% silver admixture; grayish gold and silver amalgams; loose weishanite (Au,Ag)3Hg2 formations of gray color; aggregates of ore-bearing and nonmetalliferous minerals with gold, in which the precious metal is less than half the grain. All gold grains have a flattened shape, variably contain inclusions of clay minerals, quartz, hematite, ilmenite, magnetite, limonite. Grains of native metals and intermetallic compounds are isolated in mineral association with gold. The revealed features of gold show that the formation of the precious metal is associated with hypogenic and epithermal processes, as well as with fluid emanations coming through late deep faults.
