(2016) Rychlicki, Stanisław; Kosowski, Piotr; Wartak, Joanna; Solecki, Marek
This article presents the results of surveys carried out in the framework of the MUSE project in order to gain knowledge and obtain assessment of the impact of oil exploitation on the lives of the inhabitants of certain regions and on the environment. The survey was conducted in Krosno, Jedlicz and Rymanów (SE Poland). In this area, since the nineteenth century, there are o lot of crude oil mines and many local people are employed at its exploitation. Current condition of the environment and the negative effects of pollution and its causes were assessed by the local community. Within the framework of the conducted study, particular attention was paid to assessing the impact of oil exploitation on the environment and human health. Respondents also pointed to environmental elements that have gone under the greatest transformation in connection with the exploitation of crude oil.

Soil contamination by petroleum substances in the vicinity of oil production wells
(2016) Wartak, Joanna; Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Knapik, Ewa; Rychlicki, Stanisław
The paper presents the study of various indicators of soil contamination by petroleum substances from the area of active exploitation of oil deposits in the south of Poland. Nineteen studied soil samples were taken directly around the production wells (0–1 m) or their vicinity (1–7 m) at a depth of 0.1 to 0.3 m. Collected samples were tested for the presence of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, fluorene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. An analysis of the content of these chemical compounds in the soil samples was performed by gas chromatography. The observed results were interpreted to determine the hazard for the natural environment and human health. The evaluation of soil samples was based on the new Regulation of the Ministry of Environment of 1 September 2016 regarding the assessment of contamination of the surface of the earth (Journal of Laws 2016 Nr 0, item 1395) as well as guidelines presented by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (ISSPC).

Prospects for development of the oil market in the world
(2017) Rychlicki, Stanisław; Stopa, Jerzy
Crude oil and natural gas were in the twentieth century and are still the most important strategic resources, which determine many aspects of politics and the world economy. The price level and the availability of oil and gas has a huge impact on the economic situation of all countries of the world. The developments in the oil market were the cause of many wars. The use of oil on an industrial scale it was observed at the end of the nineteenth century and once was considered the most effective source of energy for universal use. Since then, a steady increase of its share in the energy balances of the World. Growing automotive industry in the early twentieth century was also an important factor in increasing the use of oil, which is then processed in many emerging refineries. All this led to the development of the oil industry, which has become an alternative to coal as the main fuel so far. However, a major breakthrough in the use of oil occurred only after the Second World War, when began to rapidly develop such industries as chemical-based oil or plastics industry. This article presents information on traditional and prospective areas where oil deposits in the world and its resources as well as international trade, price formation in the market and prospects of development of the oil market in the world.

The results of double-cycle drill stem test DST of the Malm carbonate rocks of the Carpathian Foredeep
(2012) Dubiel, Stanisław; Rychlicki, Stanisław
The paper presents the results of 25 industrial double-cycle drill stem test DST of the Malm carbonate rocks of the Carpathian Foredeep. Designated prospective levels were tested by DST to assess their productivity. DST tests were performed mostly in open hole sections of boreholes and rarely in cased hole - after earlier borehole casing perforations. Probes used American Standard company Halliburton and Baker Inflatable type. During testing of Malm reservoir rocks in approximately 75% was used double-cycle drill stem test DST. Due to renewed interest of the Polish Oil and Gas Company in petroleum prospection of Malm sediments, it is appropriate to use in the petroleum exploration results obtained thus far from industrial research double cycle DST reservoir testing. This provides, among others to modification of drilling technology and to sampling of Malm sediments in the planned boreholes.

Social acceptance for CO₂-EOR and CCS projects based on survey conducted in southeastern Poland
(2015) Rychlicki, Stanisław; Kosowski, Piotr; Wartak, Joanna; Solecki, Marek
This paper presents the results of a survey on the public acceptance of $CO_{2}$-EOR and CCS methods. The survey has been conducted in southeastern Poland, on a sample of people living in the Carpathian region (Krosno, Jedlicze, Rymanów). Existing local reservoirs are taken into account of the possibility of enhanced oil recovery by injecting carbon dioxide. A survey has been done within the MUSE project to determine the impact of oil on the surrounding environment and the level of knowledge, perception and acceptance of CCS and $CO_{2}$-EOR methods. As appeared from the survey, public acceptance development of the oil industry in Poland is quite positive. Respondents recognize the need to use modern technologies such as $CO_{2}$-EOR and CCS to fulfill this task. A significant number of respondents show limited awareness (or lack of it) regarding these technologies. Public acceptance largely depends on the level of knowledge regarding the technology. One of the main directions of work undertaken prior to the implementation of industrial installations using technologies of $CO_{2}$-EOR and CCS should be gaining the acceptance of the local community.

Directions of development of Polish gas and oil
(2016) Rychlicki, Stanisław; Stopa, Jerzy
Period of 2000–2015 in exploration and production of hydrocarbons was not the most successful. The last major discovery of new reservoirs took place in the second half of 20th century and first half of 21st century, when the reservoirs of Kościan, Brońsko, BMB and LMG were discovered. Unfortunatelly, following years did not develop these significant discoveries. We can wonder if it was connected with the lack of exploration strategy, problems with financing or less availibility of discovering new reservoirs. The article presents the state of research both conventional unconventional hydrocarbon deposits and their directions of future research in Poland.

Enhanced oil recovery processes in sandstone reservoirs containing light oil in offshore fields
(2014) Przybyłowicz, Joanna; Rychlicki, Stanisław
Enhanced oil recovery methods can significantly increase recovery from offshore oil reservoirs provided that the appropriate method is selected. Enhanced oil recovery methods aim to recover the remaining original oil in place by applying additional energy sources and minimalize flow resistance in the field. The application of these technologies results in enhancement, or replacement of natural or physical processes of displacement and modifies the composition and physical properties of formation fluids. The use of EOR technologies in offshore environment is limited compared to onshore fields. Constraints imposed by the offshore environment are associated with technical difficulties as well as economic risk. Before choosing the most appropriate EOR method for particular environmental conditions the restrictions associated with: large well spacing, disposal geological description as well as availability and cost of EOR agents, weight and space constrains or high capital cost requirements should be considered. Reservoir lithology is limiting the applicability of specific EOR methods. This paper presents a comprehensive review of EOR projects which are appropriate or possible for sandstone reservoirs containing light-oil in offshore field. The possibilities and limitations of selected methods are introduced.

Assessment of the quality of surface water from selected area of active oil exploitation
(2015) Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Knapik, Ewa; Rychlicki, Stanisław; Stopa, Jerzy
In this work, the studies of various physico-chemical parameters of surface waters originated from the selected area of oil exploitation in the south of Poland are presented. The water samples were collected from streams and ponds or directly from surface tanks situated in the vicinity of operating wells. The observed values of different parameters like pH, odor, color, turbidity, electroconductivity, concentration of sulfate, chloride, nitrate, iron, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, alkanity, dissolved oxygen or petroleum contamination of samples were compared with standard values recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the relevant Polish Regulation. Preliminary studies show that investigated surface waters are slightly affected by anthropogenic pollution. The main two sources of contamination of water from the study area are agriculture and mining industry.

The characteristics of perspective areas of non-conventional oil accumulations in Poland
(2014) Jędrzejczyk, Arletta; Rychlicki, Stanisław; Stopa, Jerzy
In Poland, the focus so far has been on unconventional gas deposits, but equally interesting are unconventional oil deposits. As a result of intensive research in the past few years, it was found that we have significant deposits of oil shale, which may be rich in both gas and oil. Undoubtedly, after a period of research and analysis on the prospects of the presence of shale gas in these structural units would come the turn of the shale oil. In the article on the basis of industrial materials have been characterized: — shale formations in the basin of the Baltic - Podlasie - Lublin (potential of the Silurian and Ordovician), — Prągowiec ravine (southeast of Kielce) - Graptolitic Shales (Silurian) — menilite shales in the Carpathians external-especially of south of Rzeszów in municipalities Błażowa, Boguchwała, Wojaszówka. — discovered heavy oil deposit Lubaczów.
