On 23 May 2017,the Ukrainian parliament adopted the Law of Ukraine "On Environment Impact Assessment." The newly adopted law requires mandatory assessment of effect on the environment of certain industrial objects and activities.

Between 2005 and 2015, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions decreased in 43 states (including the District of Columbia) and increased in 8 states. On a per capita basis, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions decreased in 49 states (including the District of Columbia) and increased in 2 states.

In this issue, SPE’s technical directors evaluate the current state of the upstream oil and gas industry and offer their outlook for what will drive the sector in 2018.

Optimism is slowly returning to the Norwegian E&P sector and an upcoming seminar will address the most vital issues facing the industry.

In the onshore world, one of the big advances for addressing increased sampling requirements has been to go to 24-hour shooting with continuous recording of simultaneously sweeping vibrators. This has been enabled by innovations in both acquisition and processing.

The feasibility test conducted offshore Abu Dhabi demonstrated the successful and safe deployment, seismic-data acquisition, and retrieval capabilities of the AMV and 3D sensor array.

Integrated surveillance is critical for understanding reservoir dynamics and improving field management. A key component of the surveillance is areal monitoring of subsurface changes by use of time-lapse geophysical surveys such as 4D seismic.

The complete paper proposes an azimuthal plane-wave-destruction (AzPWD) seismic-diffraction-imaging work flow to efficiently emphasize small-scale features associated with subsurface discontinuities such as faults, channel edges, and fracture swarms.

Expats hold the key to whether its big offshore oil deposits bring riches—or ruin.
