Junior Exploration Companies for the Russian geological prospecting

The Management Structure of Russian Holding Companies

Contrary to the expectations of the neo-liberal theorists of ‘shock therapy’, the collapse of the soviet system did not lead to the rapid and spontaneous development of the institutions and practices typical of a capitalist market economy. This led some critics to doubt whether Russia was in transition to capitalism at all. Michael Burawoy, for example, has characterised the developmental traje...

Combinatorial framework for planning in geological exploration

The paper describes combinatorial framework for planning of geological exploration for oil-gas fields. The suggested scheme of the geological exploration involves the following stages: (1) building of special 4-layer tree-like model (layer of geological exploration): productive layer, group of productive layers, oil-gas field, oil-gas region (or group of the fields); (2) generations of local de...

Bankruptcy prediction for Russian companies: Application of combined classifiers

The problem of bankruptcy forecasting is one of the most actively studied nowadays, posing the task of building effective classifiers as well as the task of dealing with dataset imbalance. In this paper, we apply different combinations of modern learning algorithms (MDA, LR, CRT, and ANNs) in order to try to identify the most effective approach to bankruptcy prediction for Russian manufacturing...

Deep geological CO2 storage: principles, and prospecting for bio- energy disposal sites

The principles of hydrocarbon exploration and production provide well established and tested principles and technologies to investigate storage of fluids in the subsurface. CO2 can be stored in the subsurface using settings of: A) thick permeable coal seams; B) depleted oil and gas fields; C) saline aquifers of regional extent, with an overlying seal. The North Sea Sleipner project shows that C...
