“…The application of SLR has spread from medicine and health care into other fields. Recently, its application in some engineering fields, specifically software engineering, transportation systems, manufacturing, etc., has increased [29][30][31][32][33][34]. Later on, Kitchenham and Charters [35] modified this technique and provided a guideline to facilitate its application.…”

The Resilience of Critical Infrastructure Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

Risk management is a fundamental approach to improving critical infrastructure systems’ safety against disruptive events. This approach focuses on designing robust critical infrastructure systems (CISs) that could resist disruptive events by minimizing the possible events’ probability and consequences using preventive and protective programs. However, recent disasters like COVID-19 have shown that most CISs cannot stand against all potential disruptions. Recently there is a transition from robust design to resilience design of CISs, increasing the focus on preparedness, response, and recovery. Resilient CISs withstand most of the internal and external shocks, and if they fail, they can bounce back to the operational phase as soon as possible using minimum resources. Moreover, in resilient CISs, early warning enables managers to get timely information about the proximity and development of distributions. An understanding of the concept of resilience, its influential factors, and available evaluation and analyzing tools are required to have effective resilience management. Moreover, it is important to highlight the current gaps. Technological resilience is a new concept associated with some ambiguity around its definition, its terms, and its applications. Hence, using the concept of resilience without understanding these variations may lead to ineffective pre- and post-disruption planning. A well-established systematic literature review can provide a deep understanding regarding the concept of resilience, its limitation, and applications. The aim of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review to study the current research around technological CISs’ resilience. In the review, 192 primary studies published between 2003 and 2020 are reviewed. Based on the results, the concept of resilience has gradually found its place among researchers since 2003, and the number of related studies has grown significantly. It emerges from the review that a CIS can be considered as resilient if it has (i) the ability to imagine what to expect, (ii) the ability to protect and resist a disruption, (iii) the ability to absorb the adverse effects of disruption, (iv) the ability to adapt to new conditions and changes caused by disruption, and (v) the ability to recover the CIS’s normal performance level after a disruption. It was shown that robustness is the most frequent resilience contributing factor among the reviewed primary studies. Resilience analysis approaches can be classified into four main groups: empirical, simulation, index-based, and qualitative approaches. Simulation approaches, as dominant models, mostly study real case studies, while empirical methods, specifically those that are deterministic, are built based on many assumptions that are difficult to justify in many cases.

“…Researchers also note the need to study ice accretion on vessels and offshore structures, as this poses a serious hazard, can cause ship instability and overloading of offshore structures and poses a risk to the safety of operations [58]. This is why many studies cover the operation and sustainable development of shipping and port activities on Arctic routes, with several main areas highlighted for further study being the management approach to Arctic transport and logistics challenges, logistics systems for access to Arctic routes, development of large cluster projects in this area and management of specific (ice) vessels [59]. Due to the development of modern technologies of exploration and well drilling, taking into account the peculiarities of geophysical work and technology for obtaining high-quality seismic material in Arctic conditions, all this will increase the development potential and efficiency of offshore oil and gas fields in the Arctic and subarctic shelf [60].…”

Sustainable development of the Arctic is the main priority of the state policy regarding regional development of the Russian Federation. The study of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation for the formation of principles, methods and strategies, as well as organizational and economic mechanisms for its sustainable development is topical at present. This article deals with one of the strategic decision-making tools used in the process of implementing the development program for the Russian Arctic, namely, the assessment of the technical and economic potential of the Arctic fields. The purpose of this assessment is to rank the fields according to the priority of their commissioning for a more optimal distribution of costs in the development of Arctic resources. This paper presents the results and methodology of technical and economic potential estimation in general, and the potential of the Arctic oil and gas fields in particular. An analysis of the conceptual apparatus in the field of the evaluation of various types of potential is carried out. The methodology for assessing the technical and economic potential of a field are investigated. The problems arising in the process of such an assessment are revealed. Recommendations for improving the methodology of assessing the technical and economic potential of oil and gas fields in the Arctic are given. The necessity of expanding the list of indicators for assessing the technical and economic potential of these fields, taking into account current trends, has been noted. A list of 10 technical and 26 economic indicators to assess the technical and economic potential of the development of offshore Arctic fields is proposed.

“…We will focus in more detail on the consideration of the features of the transportation of natural liquefied gas through the NSR. The production of natural Arctic gas of the Russian Federation is carried out mainly on the Yamal Peninsula, transportation is carried out by means of sea vessels specially designed for the transportation of natural gas-gas carriers to the countries of Asia [4] and the European Union [5] by liquefying it to a temperature of -161.45 C. The climatic features of transportation along the NSR require transportation in a mandatory bundle with a nuclear icebreaker with an ice thickness of more than 3 m, in addition, there is an iceberg hazard [6]. Gases are more profitable to transport in the form of liquids, since the weight of LNG is about 650 times greater than its weight in the gas stage state.…”

The article is devoted to the study of innovative transport technologies for the transportation of liquefied natural gas by sea along the Northern Sea Route. The attention of the researchers was directed to the study of innovative mooring technologies in the conditions of the Far North. In the case of cargo transportation of gas along the Northern Sea Route, there is a need for continuous movement in view of the peculiarities of the Arctic Ocean and the danger of icing and stopping the cargo flow. To ensure the continuity of the cargo flow along the Northern Sea Route, it is necessary to provide refueling of sea transport, for this purpose, the introduction of an innovative system of hydraulic magnetic fenders is proposed. The application of this innovative technology consists in the use of electromagnetic equipment for the fender system when bunkering at sea on the “ship to ship” principle and the port harbor instead of the traditional mooring principle. It is used to improve the mooring process several times, which leads to increased economic efficiency and additional safety of crew members, and as an additional means of overcoming the ice barrier, which is a feature of the Northern Sea Route.
