Development of oil and gas industries on the base of innovative trends is indicator of sustainable development of the economy of any state. Advancement of innovative trends in the development of the Russian oil and gas industry is the only way to preserve and hold favorable positions on the home and international markets. The authors propose to apply an integrated approach to the design and implementation of innovative development projects at oil and gas enterprises. First, oil and gas enterprises should widely introduce a wide range of innovative technologies with a high potential for internal reserves. Implementation of innovative technologies by empowerment of the energy resources allows for significant economic benefits and upgrading the efficiency of an enterprise within a short term. Another aspect of the problem is related with supporting innovation technologies interconnected with managerial technologies or managerial innovations being the changes aimed at providing a favorable environment for the outcome of innovative technologies. Creation of a favorable management environment as the basis in innovative processes is one of the key factors for successful development. The proposed solution will contribute to innovative development of domestic enterprises and the Russian economy as a whole.
Oil and gas refineries have a significant impact on the environment. The paper considers the main harmful substances formed as a result of the manufacturing processes occurring at the enterprises of the given industry and having a negative impact on the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. The most significant sources of contaminants have been identified. The paper presents the most promising approaches described by both domestic and foreign authors for developing environmentally friendly, low-waste productions through the complex use of all the components of raw materials, energy resources and industrial wastes to ensure the required processing conditions. The authors developed and proposed the scheme of the power plant comprising the integrated waste disposal in oil and gas refineries, aimed at combining the processes of the thermal utilization of industrial wastes (combustible gases, effluents) with the processes of gasification and energy production (electricity, thermal energy, synthesis gas, water supply), reducing the specific consumption of the fuel gas for the energy resources production and waste disposal, improving the environmental safety and reliability of the facility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
