The purpose of this study is to determine the main hydrochemical parameters of Lake Kotokel deep waters, to identify the role of groundwater feeding it, as well as to establish the features of spatial distribution of macro- and microelements in the lake. Field work was carried out during the ice and ice-free seasons. A special sampler was used to take water samples from the bottom of the lake. Water samples were filtered through the filters with a pore size of 0.45 μm at the sampling site. Plastic bottles were used for the water samples for analysis. Polypropylene containers (15 ml) pretreated with 0.1 N nitric acid were used for the water samples for trace elements. The analysis of the macrocomponent composition of water was carried out in a certified Laboratory of Hydrogeology and Geoecology of the Geological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ulan-Ude) according to the standard methods intended for fresh and saline waters. Cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+) were determined by atomic absorption, F-, SiO2 – by the colorimetric method, HCO3- , CO32- and Cl- – by the titrimetric method, SO42- – by the turbidimetric method. The analysis of the trace element content was carried out in the Laboratory of Aquatic Microbiology at the Limnological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Irkutsk) by the method of inductively coupled plasma on Agilent 7500ce quadrupole mass spectrometer. Conducted research made it possible to determine an inhomogeneous chemical composition of lake water associated with the discharge of fissure-vein waters along the faults that bound the depression from the southeast and northeast and intersect the lake water area from the island to the Istok river. The highest content of dissolved substances was recorded in the strait between Monastyrsky island and the western shore of the lake; the maximum values of hydrocarbonate ion and total mineralization were found here. The maximum content of sulfate ion was found in the southern and southeastern parts of the lake. The dispersion in microelement distribution reaches several mathematical orders. The most variable concentration is characteristic of iron, manganese, copper, zinc, lead, phosphorus, molybdenum, tungsten, strontium. Their high contents were found in the lake water within the location of faults of northeast strike. Therefore, the chemical composition of the water of Lake Kotokel is largely formed by fissure-vein waters. This water is discharged along the tectonic faults of the northeastern strike. The research revealed two centers of subaqueous discharge, which are characterized by the formation of two different associations of microelements in the lake water. The composition of microelements in fissure-vein waters is determined by their interaction degrees with rocks.

The article presents and analyzes the data on ground waters of active (suprapermafrost) and hindered (subpermafrost) water exchange of geodynamically different terrains in order to prove the hydrogeological importance of their historical and tectonic characteristics. On the example of Trans-Polar Chukotka it is shown that, under suprapermafrost conditions, the ubiquitous eluvial-deluvial nappes are the most water-abundant on the terrane – a fragment of the passive continental margin, whereas they are the least water-abundant on the terrains of the active margin. Hydrogeological situation changes under subpermafrost conditions: more permeable and water-retaining rocks compose the terranes of the active margin. These differences are associated with the level of rock tectonic decompaction and, accordingly, with different intensity of weathering processes in the terrane rocks of different geodynamic origin in suprapermafrost and subpermafrost conditions. The hypergenesis zone on the terranes of the passive continental margin features coarse-grained rock weathering products accumulated in relatively calm geological and historical environments, the aggregate is sandy. The terranes of the active margin, which underwent long-term subvertical and subhorizontal displacements contain more fine-grained weathering products; the aggregate includes sandy loam and clay sand. Since the permafrost strata in both Trans-Polar Chukotka and Eastern Siberia is greater than the depth of hypergene transformations, the terranes of the active continental margin, the rocks of which were impacted by tectonic decompaction processes, mainly of a strike-slip and thrust nature, feature greater water abundance in subpermafrost conditions.

The paper deals with the methodological features of drilling and completion of wells in the fractured natural reservoirs containing oil and gas accumulations with different reservoir pressures of fluid-pressure systems from abnormally high to abnormally low. The authors had studied the fluid-pressure systems of industrial lithium-bromine brines, oil and gas fields and accumulations in the south of the Siberian platform for the period from 1983 to 2019. The article summarizes the main results, including new technical solutions protected by the Russian Federation patents. The authors proposed and patented a series of new technical solutions for the immediate consolidation of natural permeable fractures during the primary opening of the reservoir by drilling, as applied to a fractured reservoir. The main task of the study is to preserve the permeability of the fractured system in the bottomhole formation zone under the action of compressive stresses (rock mass) that increase with the formation of a drawdown cone, primarily in the bottomhole formation zone with the increase in the drawdown (ΔP) above critical values. Such an area is the bottomhole formation zone within a radius of the first meters around the well that penetrated the fractured reservoir. Practice has proved that the use of innovative solutions through the advanced consolidation of permeable fractures in the bottomhole formation zone (of fluid-producing oil- and gas-bearing, water-bearing reservoir) in the open (initial natural) state ensures the preservation of natural permeability of natural filtering fractures of the reservoir with the fluid system reservoir pressure from anomalously low to abnormally high. The solution ensures constant permeability of the fractured filtration system throughout the cleaning cycles of the bottomhole formation zone rocks from drilling mud, obtaining of the true calculated hydrodynamic parameters based on the results of well testing in the modes of the “steady-state production method” and well flow rate (productivity) stabilization under further well operation.

The purpose of the work is to study the effect of organic matter on the formation of ion-salt and gas composition of nitrogen-methane and methane thermal water occurring in the sedimentary rocks of deep horizons of artesian basins. The object of research is the Tunka intermountain artesian basin of the Baikal rift zone and the Tungor gas and oil field of the Okhotsk-Sakhalin basin, in the deep horizons of which soda (inversion) low- and high-mineralized groundwater is common. The study combines the results of the traditional study of the composition of natural solutions and the quantitative research of physical and chemical interactions in the “water – rock” system conducted using the Selector software package according to the degree of the hydrogeochemical process, which was set by the value of the rock/water ratio. Chemically pure water and rocks of medium chemical composition were used in interaction. With the use of physicochemical modeling the formation of thermal water composition in sedimentary rocks depending on the interaction degree between water and rock and the amount of organic matter was unravelled. As a result, it was determined that the organic matter present in the rock has the dominant influence on the intensity of the hydrogeochemical process determining the amount of mineralization, the ratio of components, and the amount of methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide produced. The correspondent compositions of the model and natural solutions showed the possibility to form low- and high-mineralized sodium bicarbonate groundwater of different gas-saturation degree in the conditions of deep horizons of sedimentary basins due to the internal reserves of the “water – rock” system not involving any components from external sources.

The article focuses on the importance of studying the water exchange role of the permafrost, which currently occupies a quarter of the Earth's land and is 1.5 km deep in some regions, as well as assessing the permafrost impact on the formation of surface and ground water resources and regime. First of all, the permafrost water exchange function is associated with the freezing of water-saturated rocks and thawing of ice-saturated ones. The author gives individual consideration to the water exchange role of the active layer and the effect of the permafrost long-term dynamics on water exchange direction and scale. The water exchange function of the active layer appears due to the seasonal phase transitions of groundwater from a liquid to a solid state and back. Thus, the volume of water formed by the thawing of underground ice accumulated in the active layer in winter has been estimated about 4·1012 m3. In this regard, it is proposed to give cryohydrogenic part associated with the seasonal transitions of groundwater from the liquid to solid state and back in the active layer of the cryolithozone independent consideration within the hydrological (climatic) cycle of the natural water circulation. It is most certain that the permafrost water exchange function is more significant being associated with longterm permafrost development dynamics under the influence of periodic dramatic climate fluctuations. Thus, during the Holocene climatic optimum about 4.5·1015 m3 of underground ice was converted to the liquid phase. The intensity of water formed from the melting of this amount of ice inflowing its surface and underground reservoirs has been estimated about 820 km3 per year. This fact considered, the author proposes to consider the cryolithogenic part separately in the geological cycle of the natural water cycle.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility to identify the pollution genesis of the underground hydrosphere based on the data on polyarenes as geochemical markers. Their marker role is due to their toxicity, persistence and confinement to specific pollution sources and natural and technogenic processes. The main research method is the analysis of indicator ratios of polyarenes. The object of research is groundwater from different regions of the world, which are polluted by natural and anthropogenic polyarenes. The main directions of domestic and foreign researches as well as the problems of their implementation are shown. The use of indicator ratios enabled successful identification of pyro- and petrogenically polluted samples of groundwater also the examples of the study of polyarenes as geochemical markers were demonstrated. The polyarenes are shown to be an effective indicator of the pollution genesis in the underground hydrosphere. However, their analysis requires the use of modern methods of sampling, sample preparation and extraction, which significantly complicates research in practice.

The fields of Eastern Siberia belong to the one of the main centers of hydrocarbon production in the eastern part of Russia. The main part of hydrocarbon reserves is located in the area within the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise, where the Lower Cambrian deposits are major production objects. The main purpose of this research is to provide a detailed study of the inner space and features of organogenic structures of the Cambrian period, as well as to determine the procedures for detecting reef structures by seismic research methods. Statistical processing of the available factual material on reservoir properties has shown a very uneven distribution of cavernosity (porosity). It is found that pores were formed as a result of leaching of shaped formations in loose packing locations of epigenetic dolomite grains, along the cementing substance in the intergranular spaces, along cracks and stylolite seams. To identify organogenic structures in the Osinsky horizon of the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise on the basis of seismic studies some additional methodologies have been selected. Identification of single reef structures in the Osinsky horizon of the Lower Cambrian based on the analysis of seismic amplitudes was carried out by means of a 2D and 3D seismic survey. According to the data of seismic studies, the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise features the development zones of both linear and single carbonate structures. It is also revealed that there is an increase in effective thicknesses in wells located in the annular anomaly. Summing up the results and analyzing the compared materials, it can be concluded that the main identification method of ring zones in wells is the method of longitudinal wave slowness measurement. A comprehensive analysis of 2D and 3D seismic survey data by the common depth point method as well as by a number of other methods using a specific algorithm allowed us to identify individual formations of organogenic (riphogenic) structures in the carbonate section of the north-eastern part of the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise.

Six samples were studied macroscopically then polished plates were made from them for gemological examination and thin sections for microscopic examination. All studies were carried out using standard gemological methods at the Gemmology Research Laboratory of the Irkutsk National Research Technical University. The petrographic study of thin sections was carried out using an Axio Lab A1 microscope. Macroscopically, two main ornamental varieties of serpentinite were identified: spotted bluish-green serpentinite and massive serpentinite of the color from dark green to black. The spotted structure of serpentinite is determined by numerous inclusions of ore minerals including magnetite and iron oxides. Its hardness is 4.5 on the Moh’s scale, its gloss is matte. The data on the main gemological characteristics of the samples corresponding to the results of already published studies of gem-quality serpentinites from other deposits were also obtained. Having analyzed the microstructure and mineral composition of the Eastern Sayan serpentinites, their correspondence to the spotty and massive decorative varieties of serpentinites from other Russian deposits was revealed. At the moment, this material is not duly appreciated, although it may well be used as a sculptural and jewelry-ornamental decorative stone.

The purpose of the research is to study the surface structure of high grade gold. The subject of research is gold ore fields in the Amur region. The object of the study is samples of native high grade gold grains from these fields. The study uses the methods of thermodynamics and X-ray electron microscopy. The study results in revealing a multilayer structure of the surface of high grade minerals of the Amur region native gold with the following levels: a boundary layer with zero oxidation degree Au0 in the form of yellow metallic gold; an oxide layer with the oxidation degree Au+1 in the form of purple Au2O; an oxide layer with the oxidation degree Au+3 in the form of a yellow-brown Au2O3; a hydrated oxide layer with the oxidation degree Au+3 in the form of a red-yellow-brown Au(OH)3. The methods of electron microscopy have allowed to identify external surface structures – dense oxide layers of the form of Au2O3 and loose hydrated layers of the form of Au(OH)3, whereas the inner layers of metallic and monovalent gold are not visible. Important thermodynamic characteristics of the presented levels are the values of standard oxidation-reduction potentials (E°), which determine their physicochemical properties: for metallic gold E° = +1.68 V; for the oxide layer with the oxidation degree Au+1 in the form of Au2O – E° = +0.32 V; for the oxide layer with the oxidation degree Au+3 in the form of Au2O3 – E° = +1.36 V; for the hydrated oxide layer with the oxidation degree Au+3 in the form of Au(OH)3 – E° = +0.7 V. The results of the conducted studies indicate that the surface structure has several layers that lower the oxidation-reduction potential, which explains the generation and formation of migratory forms of gold in humid hypergene conditions of natural environment.

The purpose of the study is to increase the productivity and economic efficiency of mining operations using screening bucket excavators on the basis of the introduction of a new technical and technological solution that expands equipment functionality. The study involves the analysis of known designs of screening buckets installed on excavators that ensure material separation to be carried out simultaneously with excavation and loading works. It is noted that a promising development direction of screening buckets is a design with working drums. The article presents an excavator with a modernized screening bucket and its operation technology, which allows to start rock mass sorting in the bucket while the excavator is turning to the place of unloading. The improved screening bucket is equipped with a hinged movable bottom controlled by hydraulic cylinders to accumulate fine fractions screened through the working drums. Fine fractions accumulated in the moving bottom are unloaded into a dump truck, after which screening continues directly into the body of the dump truck. Screening finished, the movable bottom closes and the excavator unloads the coarse fractions remaining in the bucket into another vehicle. Unloading is carried out by bucket turning. The combination of screening and excavator turning reduces the operation cycle time, which increases the performance of both the excavator and dump trucks. The use of a modernized screening bucket with a moving bottom eliminates the loss of valuable fine material as a result of spilling when the excavator turns for unloading. The movable bottom can be installed on the screening buckets of known designs and does not require their significant alteration. Application of the proposed technical and technological solution will reduce unit costs and increase the efficiency of work.
