“…The ESG concept is one of the important pillars as it complements the traditional SD model and reflects new requirements towards responsible investment and governmental regulation. Examples of ESG information include the environmental dimension (pollution, biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, renewable energy, energy efficiency [124]); the social dimension (quality of life, well-being, diversity, equality, employee relations, and human capital management), and the governance dimension (internal controls, regulations, board of directors, diversity, independence, information transparency, and risk management) [125][126][127][128][129].…”

Exploitation of oil and gas resources in the Arctic offshore is one of Russia’s key priorities in such areas as science, economy, and technology. Global trends, harsh climate conditions, fragile ecosystems, conditions of the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, price volatility, and the growing importance of the environmental factor require that the process of developing the Arctic’s hydrocarbon resources should become strategically sustainable. The paper provides a deep literature review on sustainability issues, sustainable development, strategic sustainability, and project efficiency in the Arctic offshore oil and gas sector. The paper analyzes the trends and conditions that substantiate the need to transform the traditional sustainability concept to meet new challenges and comply with new policies. Based on the analysis, the authors propose a definition of and a conceptual framework for strategic sustainability of oil and gas offshore projects in the Arctic.

“…One of the most promising areas of the Arctic continental shelf for the production of natural gas is the territory of the Barents Sea with the Shtokmanovskoye, Ludlovsky and Ledovoye fields. Central Europe is expected to become the main consumer [18,29]. To decide on choosing the most profitable technology for transporting natural gas from the Barents Sea to Central Europe, it is necessary to compare the cost of transporting liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas.…”

One of the most important issues in the development of the Arctic shelf is the rationality of transportation. Selection of the optimal method is an integral part of the project, in the framework of which this article is written. Earlier all possible methods and their advantages and disadvantages were evaluated. Within the framework of this article, t optimal method for the development of reserves on the Arctic shelf will be proposed, taking into account the possibilities of development and the effectiveness of subsequent transportation to the importing countries. The risks of gas hydrates were considered. The prospects of development of the Northern Sea Route between Russia and Asian countries are assessed; the cost of transportation of liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas from the Barents Sea to Central Europe is compared. The hydraulic calculation of the selected section of the gas pipeline network is conducted. The economic calculation of the project as a whole is accomplished. The optimal location of the route in relation to the reserves in the Barents Sea has been chosen. Pressure losses in the selected zone were no more than 12.24 MPa with pipeline pressure from 8 to 16 MPa. In this case, condensation and subsequent formation of gas hydrates are not possible. Using only three sections of the network, the profit of the project will be 223 billion rubles per year. In accordance with this the best way of hydrocarbons realization in the Arctic is a combined method of transportation with modern methods of extraction and pipelaying laying.

“…Environmental odour is an increasing environmental problem involving several industrial plants [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Refineries are one of the categories most affected by the emission of odorous compounds, in particular volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sulphur compounds, arising mainly from the operative process, the storage tanks, the transport pipelines, and the waste areas [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Odour nuisance often raises concerns among the population living near these plants due to the common belief that malodorous emissions may negatively affect human health [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Refineries are characterized by relevant odour impacts, and the control and monitoring of this pollutant have become increasingly important. Dynamic olfactometry, a sensorial analysis that involves human examiners, is currently the most common technique to obtain odour quantification. However, due to the potential presence of hazardous pollutants, the conduction of occupational risk assessment is necessary to guarantee examiners’ safety. Nevertheless, the occupational risk for olfactometric examiners, specifically correlated with oil refineries emissions, has not been investigated yet. Therefore, this paper applies a new methodology of risk assessment for workers involved in dynamic olfactometry, focusing on odorous refineries emissions. The chemical characterization of refinery emissions was obtained by TD-GC-MS, analysing odorous samples collected at different refinery odour sources. A database of chemical pollutants emitted from a refinery plant was built up, and the minimum dilution values to be adopted during the analysis of refinery odorous samples was calculated. In particular, this evaluation highlighted that, in this scenario, a non-negligible carcinogenic risk may exist for panellists exposed to refineries’ samples, and the carcinogenic risk is sometimes higher than what is acceptable. Therefore, a minimum dilution value between 1.01 and 5, according to the specific sample, must be set to guarantee the examiners’ safety.
