“…However, under the conditions of the Russian industry, such assessments must be carried out at the stage preceding the development: research and evaluation, i.e., even before investing in the construction of exploration wells. This opinion is also supported by Gandhi et al in the monograph [17]. In the seventh chapter of the work, a detailed description of the schemes and approaches for the geological exploration process is presented.…”

Currently, under the conditions of increasing depletion of hydrocarbon reserves in Russia, it is necessary to consider the resource potential of poorly-researched oil and gas objects as a factor for ensuring the sustainable development of the oil and gas complex, in the context of the concept formation of rational subsoil utilization and a circular economy. The methodology of this study is based on a clear sequence of geological and economic studies of poorly-researched oil and gas objects, including four stages, such as analysis of the raw material base, assessment of the raw material potential, determination of technological development parameters, and economic evaluation. The methods of the probabilistic estimation of oil resources of the forecasted objects with regard to geological risk are outlined. Software packages "EVA-Risk Analysis" and "EVA-Economic Evaluation of Oil and Gas Field Development Projects" were used for estimation. The result of the study is the determination of the geological and economic efficiency of the development of nine hydrocarbon objects with the determination of the order of their further geological exploration, and introduction into industrial development on the example of the poorly-researched region of the Timan-Pechora oil and gas province located in the Arctic zone.

“…Exploration is not only an increasingly energy-and cost-intensive endeavour, it also involves high uncertainties. It is estimated that only one out of 1000 exploration sites will be able to be developed as an economically profitable mine (Gandhi and Sarkar, 2016). It is also a question of time, as it takes currently around 17 a from resource discovery to exploitation (Garside, 2022).…”

Limiting climate heating while meeting basic needs of all necessitates eliminating fossil carbon emissions. This paper discusses the dynamics of mobilizing materials required for large-scale deployment of renewable energy, which entail: 1) availability of resources in the environment and technosphere; 2) accessibility, which depends on resource quality and available technologies; 3) processability, which depends on energy availability, processing capacity, and environmental impacts on planetary boundaries; and 4) operability, which depends on social acceptance and geopolitical agreements. Also, materials can be mobilized through four routes: 1) increasing primary production; 2) diverting existing primary production; 3) repurposing existing in-use stocks; and 4) re-mining previous wastes and emissions. The interplay of these enabling factors determines the maximum possible rate of material mobilization and thus of the energy transition itself. This paper presents and discusses a framework to explore joint energy-material transformations, enabling to consider material aspects in transition modelling and guide technological developments.

“…ArcGIS simulates flood drainage network utilizing remote sensing satellite imaging integrated with a digital elevation model (DEM). DEM is a digital cartographic dataset in three dimensional coordinates (XYZ) or a computer graphic representation of elevation data that has been derived from contour lines or photogrammetric methods [13]. DEM is usually used in Ground Information System GIS to visualize the terrain of the ground surface for hydrological analysis.…”

Floods are the most natural disasters occurring on earth. Recently, Egypt has been subjected to more frequent floods due to climate change. The main objective of this paper is creating hydrological analysis and estimating water discharge due to a flood hitting a hazardous zone near Safaga city. The research is divided into four main stages; 1) Morphological study, 2) Meteorological study, 3) Losses estimation, and 4) Flood discharge estimation. First, morphological study in which watershed boundaries, main streams and morphological data are delineated using geographic information system (GIS) with the aid of Landsat-8 satellite images and 30-m resolution digital elevation model (DEM). Second, meteorological study in which conventional rainfall frequency analysis is generated to estimate rainfall depth at different return periods using 15-years rainfall historical data from weather stations. Third, losses estimation is determined by using soil conservation service-curve number method (SCS-CN). Fourth, water discharge volume is carried out through hydrological modelling using a hydrologic engineering centre model. The estimated water volume is an appropriate information for decision makers to propose the adequate protection works to mitigate flood impacts.
