The article analyzes the current state and prospects for utilization of a hydrocarbon component dissolved in oil and released during its extraction and preparation -associated petroleum gas (APG). The authors studied the properties, characteristics and component composition of APG.The analysis of the APG use at the international and regional levels is carried out. The main causes of flaring were discussed and the shortage of production capacities for APG processing in the Russian Federation was noted as one of the main factors in the high level of APG flaring in the country.The paper notes possible ways of utilization of associated petroleum gas, which depend on oil production conditions, such as field characteristics, oil/gas ratio (gas-oil factor), and market opportunities for recovered gas. An overview of all APG utilization methods are presented, which focuses on unit costs, economic benefits and environmental impact reduction. The authors analyzed the innovative experience of effective APG use in the USA and Canada. Special attention is paid to the need to solve the problem of the effective use of APG in the Russian Federation, especially the reduction of its burning in flare plants.

Purpose. Study the state of modern technologies for the extraction of unconventional hydrocarbon resources and determine the prospects for their development. Methods. The method of qualitative and quantitative analysis of scientific literature, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, national reports on the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative standard, as well as open Internet sources, are used in the research. Structurally, the research consists of a sequential analysis of the main types of unconventional hydrocarbon resources. The analysis of each type of unconventional hydrocarbon resources is to determine its main geological characteristics, conditions of occurrence, prospecting-predicting criteria and peculiarities, technologies of recovery, country (geographic) localization and statistical data on production dynamics. Findings. The research presents a systematization of the main types of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, such as oil and gas of shale strata, tight sands gas (basin-central gas type and tight sands gas), methane gas of coal fields, bituminous and oil sands, oil from oil shale, as well as their sequential analysis. The definitions of the main types of unconventional hydrocarbon resources according to Russian and English terminology are synchronized. Depending on the type of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, the conditions for their occurrence, prospecting-predicting criteria and diagnostic properties, country (geographic) localization are determined. The research presents the world experience in the recovery of unconventional hydrocarbon resources (North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region), as well as the dynamics of shale gas and oil recovery (using the example of the United States). Originality. A sequential systematic analysis of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, depending on their type, has been made. Practical implications. The main objectives have been determined for solving the problem of using the unconventional hydrocarbon sources potential, which can lead to the conclusions about the prospects for the unconventional hydrocarbon resources recovery. It is advisable to assess the necessity of studying unconventional hydrocarbon resources in countries oriented on the use of traditional resources.

Some Aspects of the Control for the Radial Distribution of Burden Material and Gas Flow in the Blast Furnace

et al. 2020

The paper presents an experimental study on the formation process of burden surface texture on the blast furnace throat and its influence on the radial distribution of gas flow. The study was performed with the application of blast furnaces equipped with a bell-type charging device using radio-isotope means for the control of burden surface texture (profile) and burden surface level, i.e., gamma locators for burden surface texture. The study was carried out under the conditions of an operating blast furnace in an iron and steel plant using a unique GEOTAPS system for automated control of geometric and temperature parameters of burden material surface on the blast furnace throat. The influence of the surface texture on the gas flow distribution was also investigated. The possibility of a self-stabilization effect for burden surface texture and gas flow in an operating blast furnace under suitable conditions was experimentally proven. As a result of the experimental study performed, four ways of energy-saving technology implementation were determined for the control of blast furnace melting based on the data on the burden surface texture and previously unknown regularities of surface layer formation of burden material on the throat of an operating blast furnace with a bell-type charging device. The main idea of the paper is the development of automated control for the radial distribution of burden material and gas flow using actual or predicted surface texture parameters as important intermediate factors that both describe the process and have a significant simultaneous influence on it.
