Book Description
Oil Industry of the Former Soviet Union - Reserves, Extraction and Transportation
Author: N KrylovPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100072526X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The Russian Federation is a leading oil producer and has a major oil supply system. This book describes the current Russian situation and prospects for the future development of its industry. Accurate data on the Russian system of oil pipelines are published here in English for the first time and will be useful to those interested or involved in the oil business. The book provides information on technologies used, including their technical and economic characteristics and current research. Part I discusses oil reserves and current resource base, prospects for their development, potential oil reserves, and those already explored. Part II discusses conditions under which oil is produced and describes features particular to Russian oil production, associated problems and technologies, including their engineering and economic aspects. Part III highlights the background, current state, and operational problems of the oil transportation system of the Federation and other countries of the former Soviet Union - one of the world's largest energy systems. Also reviewed are the technical state and operational reliability of the main pipeline network, including a general description of the pipeline system, design and construction of oil pipelines, repair and maintenance, and economic and control problems.
Russian Oil Supply
Author: John D. GracePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780197300305
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Russian Oil Supply traces the development of the Russian oil industry from its inception in the 1870s through the present. The fundamental geology of the two main producing basins (Volga-Ural and West Siberia) is presented along with a review of key production technologies. The technical, economic, and policy aspects of achieving the 1987-88 peak production are described as well as the mechanics of the production collapse that followed and, since 1999, the recovery of Russian output. The performance of Russia's major oil companies, independents and joint ventures is analyzed and conclusions drawn on the future course of production and exports.

Energy and Economic Reform in the Former Soviet Union
Author: L. DienesPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230377157
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
This book provides a succinct account of what may happen to the energy sector in the former Soviet Union in the medium- to long-run under alternative scenarios for macroeconomic reform. The analyses reveal the serious damage of the oil resource base caused by the reckless exploitation practices of the past. Production of oil and coal can recover only slowly from the doldrums of the early 1990s, but the potential to expand gas output is very considerable. Energy consumption practices have been extremely wasteful in the past. The total savings potential that could be accomplished as energy prices are allowed to rise, and incentives to economise on energy use are introduced, is huge. The analysis of production, and consumption prospects is disaggregated by major republic. The likely evolution of FSU energy exports until 2005 is also explored, and the impact that changing export flows could have on the international prices of oil, coal and natural gas, is discussed in detail.

The Urengoi Pipeline
Author: John Van OudenarenPublisher: RAND Corporation
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This report was prepared as a companion study to 'Beyond the Pipeline: Soviet-West European Energy Trade Its Implications for European Security in the Next Decade, ' by Thane Gustafson and Richard Nehring (forthcoming). The report addresses the question of how the Urengoi natural-gas pipeline linking the Soviet Union and Western Europe could be used as an instrument of political leverage. It does not consider the technical aspects of energy supply in Europe, which are covered in detail in 'Beyond the Pipeline.' Instead, it concentrates on the reasons why the Soviet Union might use the pipeline to exert leverage and the economic, political, and psychological factors in Europe that would determine whether efforts to exert leverage would be successful.

Book Description
In 1991, a small group of Russians emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union and enjoyed one of the greatest transfers of wealth ever seen, claiming ownership of some of the most valuable petroleum, natural gas and metal deposits in the world. By 1997, five of those individuals were on Forbes Magazine's list of the world's richest billionaires.
