The analysis of the main strengths and weaknesses of balance pumping units is fulfilled. The urgency of the problem
of increasing the efficiency of the use of mechanical drives of downhole pumping systems for oil production is proved.
The results of pilot tests are introduced over the balance pumping units with installed permanent brushless electric motors
and control stations of VLT SALT type. Compared to asynchronous electric motors brushless motors are characterized by
higher values of the power factor, lower heat losses, lower weight and overall dimensions. It is proved that fitting out
balance pumping units with promising brushless motors and intelligent control stations makes it possible to control the
performance of the downhole sucker rod pumping units, to carry out precise and prompt regulation of work settings
regime parameters. Downhole pumping systems mechanical drives automation causes the reduction of specific energy
consumption of the process of oil production. The necessity of solving the problem of improving the reliability and reducing
the cost of advanced brushless motors and control stations is highlighted.
Key words: balance pumping unit; production of oil; downhole pumping unit; brushless motor; energy consumption; load;
reliability.

In the arctic bowels of the Russian Federation the main reserves of the range of important minerals are concentrated.

Based on the theory of natural resource rent and the common principle of its classification (according to the source of
formation), the classification of the arctic rent is composed, including mineral and raw materials (mining), copper-nickel,
and other varieties. This creates a theoretical basis for the development of a sequence of assessment and taxation of the
arctic rent. The methodology for monetary valuation of differential mining rent is developed, which is defined as excess
profit. It is designed for the conditions of copper-nickel ore arctic mining and takes into account specific regional "northern"
risks of non-ferrous and other metals production. Effective development of non-ferrous metals in the Arctic and the
formation of the arctic rent are considered by the example of OJSC "MMC "Norilsk Nickel".

Key words: natural rent classification; the Arctic; arctic rent; excess profit; assessment methodology; economic potential.

To create effective methods for the interpretation of GIS data in practically monomineral quartz sand and siltstone rocks
of the upper Devonian of the southeast of Tatarstan, it is necessary to take into account the features of the sedimentation
conditions that have determined a noticeable difference in the development of secondary processes and that undoubtedly
affected their capacitive filtration properties. Improved correlation dependencies make it possible to increase the accuracy
of the determination of the coefficients of bulk clayiness and open porosity of reservoir units according to the standard
GIS complex, which is especially important when recalculating balance oil reserves and constructing detailed threedimensional multilevel geological and hydrodynamic models of deposits.
Key words: sandstone; porosity; permeability; data interpretation; sorting; oil saturation.

High load equipment is well-worn by the end of the operating period, though, following the instructions and normative
operating periods it is still repaired, going through relatively high costs to maintain its operational condition. The methods
of engineering diagnostics here are ineffective because they are supposed to be used under the conditions in which
equipment hasn’t exhausted its service life. That’s why the development of economically proven method of determining
the service time of opencast automobile transport and other high load equipment is up-to-date. The choice of the efficiency
criterion is very important. Average general expenses for equipment constitute this criterion; they include its purchase and
all operational expenses, including maintenance. The article describes mathematical model of optimum operating period
of high load equipment. Optimum operating period is determined when solving the problem of minimizing average
expenses for purchase, exploitation and maintenance of the equipment according to statistic data. The realization of the
suggested methods at the enterprise will make it possible to reduce expenses.
Key words: high load equipment; opencast automobile transport; maintenance; average expenses; service life; optimum
operational period.
