This study examines the intricate relationship between natural resource abundance, with a specific focus on oil production, and its impact on economic growth in Ghana. Through the application of the robust Fully Modified OLS methodology and using data spanned from 1960-2021 the research...

In natural sciences, mineral exploration has a high network centrality. For industries with high technological- and knowledge proximity, transfer effects are an important function for innovation. Despite the high level of proximity between mineral exploration and other natural sciences, scholars...

I create a novel dataset combining detailed exploration data with register financial data on all public and private firms operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to analyze the effects of debt on well drilling decisions. I make use of an over-dispersed Poisson regression model where key...

Research on quantum sensors for the detection of magnetic fields (quantum magnetometers) is one of the fast-moving areas of Quantum Technologies. Since there exist expectations about their use in geophysics, this work will provide a brief overview on the various developing quantum technologies...

Nigeria is the largest African oil exporter yet a large number of its population is living in abject poverty. There have been losses recorded which were caused by crude oil theft and spillage. As a result of the corruption happening in the country.Environmental Pollution caused by Oil...

After the United States, China, and Japan, India was the world's fourth biggest consumer of oil and petroleum products. The nation is significantly reliant on crude oil imports, the majority of which come from the Middle East. The Indian oil and gas business is one of the country's six main...

Oil Spaces traces petroleum’s impact through a range of territories from across the world, showing how industrially drilled petroleum and its refined products have played a major role in transforming the built environment in ways that are often not visible or recognized. Over the past century...

Large quantities of oil were discovered in the Albertine Rift Valley in Western Uganda in 2006. The sound management of these oil resources and revenues is undoubtedly one of the key public policy challenges for Uganda as it is for other African countries with large oil and/or gas endowments....

In den letzten Jahren haben Ressourcengewinnungstechnologien das Interesse der Forschung auf sich gezogen. Das drückt sich unter anderem bei Fernerkundungstechnologien für Rohstoffexploration aus, bei denen mehr und mehr auf luftgestützte, bildgebende Verfahren und moderne Datenverarbeitung...

"This volume investigates how mining affects societies and communities in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. As ex-Soviet states, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan share history, culture and transitions to democracy. Most importantly, both are mineral-rich countries on China's frontier and epi-centres of resource...

Introduction (Valery Salygin) -- Part 1. Governing Energy Projects in the Russian Artic -- Chapter 1. International Legal Framework of Arctic Exploration (Igor Shulyatyev) -- Chapter 2. Russia’s Chairmanship in the Arctic Сouncil: In Search of Balance? (Dmitryi Yakovenko) -- Part 2. Energy...

A common organizational response to the recognition of complexity is the consolidation of collaborative work forms. In the oil and gas industry, developments in communication and automation technologies have enabled the implementation of collaborative environments called integrated operations...

V monografii rassmatrivajutsja aktualʹnye problemy osvoenija ėnergetičeskich resursov Arktiki i meždunarodnogo ėnergetičeskogo sotrudničestva v Arktičeskom regione. Arktičeskij šelʹf Rossijskoj Federacii javljaetsja važnejšim rezervom uglevodorodov. V nastojaščee vremja ne tolʹko...

Arctic oil extraction is inconsistent with the 2°C target. We study unilateral strategies by climate-concerned Arctic countries to deter extraction by others. Contradicting common theoretical assumptions about climate-change mitigation, our setting is one where countries may fundamentally...

This paper studies the impact of natural resource extraction in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) from a number of angles. First, we exploit a novel dataset on the universe of giant oil and gas discoveries in the region to trace out the cyclical response of macroeconomic variables to...

Oil exploration activities have been ongoing in Turkana County, Kenya resulting in discovery of a huge amount of oil deposits. However, very little research has been conducted to determine the effects of oil exploration activities on socio-economic and environmental factors in Turkana County....

The recent fall in oil prices has led to extensive capital rationing, and thereby given rise to a renewed focus on parameters for project selection which supplement net present value. While the financial crisis was creating capital constraints, the oil industry seemed to be paying great...

This working paper explores the relationship between oil exploration and conflict across the Somali inhabited territories of Somaliland, Puntland, south-central Somalia, and the Ogaden region of Ethiopia. The paper provides an overview of oil concessions within these territories, an analysis of...

In order to study the dynamic changes in gas concentration, to reduce gas hazards, and to protect and improve mining safety, a new method is proposed to predict gas concentration. The method is based on the opposite degree algorithm. Priori and posteriori values, opposite degree computation,...
