One of the most common problems reported in the mature oil-producing regions of the world, i.e. related to the fields that are in a state of declining production or reaching the end of their productive lives, is associated with organic deposits forming both in and around the wellbore. Paraffin, resin and asphaltene deposit (ARPD) has been a problem for operators in many areas since the beginning of petroleum production from wells. There is a variety of techniques and means to control these deposits, and the most p...

The amount of oil reserves considered difficult to recover is constantly increasing and this has become a major current feature of oil production associated with the development of heavy and high-viscous oil fields. The efficiency of their development requires considering the thermodynamic and rheological characteristics of the crude oil to be extracted. The knowledge of rheological parameters, such as viscosity, shear rate and shear stress of crude oil is vital to most areas of the petroleum industry and is espec...

The present paper focuses on describing the method of bringing dynamic space images of various celestial objects to the uniform reference system. This approach is designed to analyze coordinate and time parameters of cosmic bodies in various phase spaces.Based on this method, images of the Moon and stellar areas obtained with CCDmatrixes were studied. As a result, reducing the images to the single system achieved the accuracy between 0.05 and 0.11 arc seconds by declination and between 0.04 and 0.13 arc seconds by...

Globalization generates new demands, structures and systems requiring new skills and knowledge. Continuous changes and technological advancements in various industries in the country cannot but make the teaching staff of the universities consider new ways of improving the training system to ensure better acquisition of a foreign language. The paper deals with the trends, goals and tasks in Teaching English for Specific Purposes in Russian technical universities. ESP is a two sided process: English for developing s...
