New sediment-forming composition for water shutoff
The article presents the results of experimental research of the effect of sediment-forming composition on the permeability of a porous medium and the displacement coefficient. A composition containing an aqueous solution of sodium silicate and ethyl alcohol, added in a certain percentage to the produced water, leads to precipitation of salts, which make it hard. Studies of the effect of the sediment-forming composition on the model of the porous medium proved that up to 8% of residual oil can be displaced from the reservoir due to the involvement of low-permeability oil-containing zones in the development.
Keywords: sediment-forming composition; formation water; oil zone; permeability; displacement coefficient.

Selection of wells for the application of ARPD (asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits) inhibitor
Wells suitable for testing the enhanced method for removing asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits using an inhibitor have been selected based on mathematical methods. The wells’ selection for the event is based on their classification with respect to individual technological parameters using a rank approach. According to the ranked approach, 6 wells that relate to group I and II by production rate, and to group III due to the overhaul period and cumulative oil production during the overhaul period were selected. Application of the inhibitor enabled one of the selected wells to move to group II in terms of cumulative oil production during the overhaul period, due to cost reduction of workover operations.
Keywords: well selection; ARPD inhibitor; well classification; rank approach; Pareto distribution.

This article presents the results of gas chromatography and mass spectrometric studies of 43 oil samples from 15 different fields, located in the southern parts of the Caspian basin for the genetic classification of oil samples based on biomarker and aromatic compositions. All studied samples were generated from carbonate source rock according to their terpane distributions. The results of cluster analysis such as 2D-PCA and dendrograms based on biomarker distributions of oil indicate the presence of 10 genetically different oils in the studied fields. According to thermal parameters, 3 stages of thermal maturity can be distinguished: early mature samples (Karasor and Dosmukhambetovskoye), peak (S.Nurzhanov, Western Prorva) and the late maturity (Tengiz, Karaton, Korolevskoye, Teren-uzyuk, Kashagan and East Saztyube) mature. Recorded abnormally low values of gas content and corresponding saturation pressure in samples derived from Karasor and Dosmukhambetovskoye may stem from their low thermal maturity. And also it was attempted to determine lateral hydrocarbon migration direction between certain fields. Inaddition, the analysis of carbon isotopes in the presented oil fields was carried out.
Keywords: biomarkers; carbon isotope analysis; sterane; hopane; terpane; marine.

In the work from the standpoint of the theory of elasticity, the features of the stress-strain state of the rock near the earth's surface are analyzed, due to the process of changing reservoir pressure during the development of oil and gas deposits. Based on numerical studies, it has been established that subsidence of the earth's surface is not the only factor leading to environmental and technological complications. It is shown that the horizontal displacements of the earth's surface are comparable in magnitude with the vertical ones, and the additional stresses developing in the plane orthogonal to the earth's surface are significant in magnitude. It has been established that tensile stresses are formed above the edge of the deposit on the earth's surface, which may be the cause of cracking processes near this surface. The results obtained can be useful for the analysis and prediction of anthropogenic consequences during the development of shallow oil and gas deposits.
Keywords: development of oil and gas formations; stress-strain state of the rock; environmental problems.

The article discusses the peculiarities of corrosion in low-pressure gas pipelines intended for collection and transportation of associated petroleum gas. It is shown that the corrosive aggressiveness of associated petroleum gas is determined by the content of acidic components (CO2, H2S) in the water part of the released condensate. It is noted that the main feature of the corrosion process in low pressure gas pipelines is its flow in a thin layer of water electrolyte under conditions of difficult passivity of the metal surface with corrosion products and absence of diffusion restrictions in the medium components movement. As a result, despite the uniform nature, the corrosion process proceeds at a high speed and is accompanied in the last step by a metal tear on the pipe body due to critical thinning of the gas pipeline wall. In order to prevent complications associated with condensate precipitation and corrosion, it is recommended to use technologies that allow to remove condensate from associated petroleum gas before it enters the gas pipeline. The second most important method of protection should be considered the use of corrosion inhibitors. As an additional measure, it is possible to use the technology of cleaning the gas pipeline from condensate accumulations using special devices.
Keywords: low pressure gas pipeline; oil gas; condensate; corrosion rate; wall rupture; gas preparation.

Legal security in fuel and energy complex: statement of problem
The article reviews modern state of criminal law means of protection of relations in the sphere of fuel and energy complex. Comprehensive comparative legal research justifies prospects of allocation in the criminal legislation of an independent type of crime (energy crimes) in the sphere of fuel and energy complex. The article contains analyses of problems impeding international cooperation in the fight against transnational crimes, encroaching on activities in the fuel and energy complex. The article substantiates the need for harmonization of the criminal legislation of the States, interacting in the field of fuel and energy complex, to improve the development of international cooperation in criminal proceedings and to create a uniform legal framework for combating such crimes. The harmonization should be carried out by means of allocation, streamlining on criminalization and penalization of a new independent type of criminal encroachments – crimes in the sphere of fuel and energy complex, energy crimes. On this basis, States that are producers, transitors or consumers of energy resources, should form criminal-legal policy of counteraction to energy crimes, conduct special training to deal with them.
Keywords: energy crimes; criminalization; international counter-crime cooperation; criminal law policy.
