Lithologic characteristics of Cretaceous and Paleogene formations of the depression of the central Kura. The reefal margin of the South Caspian Basin and its petroleum prospects southwestern Turkmenia. By analogy with the extremely rich Mexican petroliferous barrier-reef La Reforma trend, and on the basis of a paleogeomorphic analysis of geologic-geophysical data, the reefal edge of the South Caspian Basin of Neocomian age has been recognized in southwestern Turkmenia; this is promising with respect to oil and gas exploration in combined structural-reefal traps.

The extent of the reefal scarp is about km in the terrestrial part, with an amplitude of up to m, the width of the crest is about 5 km, and the depth of occurrence is m. In its sublatitudinal part, the reef coincides with the Near-Balkhan zone of structures, productive in the Pliocene sequence. In its submeridional part, it corresponds to the so-called Shordzha-Gekcha Fault and has been built over by a Cretaceous diapiric clay swell. The paleogeomorphic plan in the South Caspian petroliferous basin, apart from southwestern Turkmenia, suggests the distribution of the marginal barrier-reef scarp beyond the water area of the Caspian Sea and the Kura Basin.

The average contents and concentration ranges of bitumen, humic acids, and organic carbon, determined in about 3, samples of middle and upper Pliocene rocks of the eastern part of the Kura depression, USSR, are tabulated, and their geochemical significance, with particular reference to the occurrence of petroleum, is discussed.

    The rich oil fields of Azerbaidzhan and Turkmenia lie in the northern half of the south Caspian depression. The structure in Azerbaidzhan involves the most deeply depressed part of the depression and the Kura and Transcaspian marginal regions. The tectonic steps, in the Kura-Transcaspian regions, are related to shallows around the submerged parts of the Caucasus and Kopet Dag mountain structures and are the result of downwarping along deep faults at the edge of the depression.

    Cyclic behavior of mud volcano eruption is attributed to periodic uplifting of the Main range in the Caucasus. The strike of Apsheron peninsula coincides with direction of deep regional folding and associated deep faults. Blocks of Tertiary and Mesozoic strata, in part fossil-bearing, are among those brought up with the lava in the eruption of mud volcanoes. Deep faults in the Mesozoic, which may extend into pre-Oligocene strata, mark the position of buried ridges. Later faults are responsible for more complex systems of narrow blocks and elongated folds.

    Prolonged structural development affected Mesozoic and Cenozoic facies and accounts for facies changes in the thick productive middle Miocene series.

    On the conjugation of granulometric, mineralogical and chemical composition of rocks of the near-Kura lowland productive formation. Examination of the sediments exposed in the western part of the Kura lowland, Azerbaijan SSR, has shown a continuous coarse to fine series of mechanical differentiation products in a northwest-southeast direction along the southern slope of the main Caucasus range. The relation of mineral content, particularly heavy minerals, to texture is discussed, and the possibility of a related chemical differentiation is suggested.

    On the distribution of "heavy" minerals among rock types of the near-Kura lowland's productive formation. A study of heavy mineral content in relation to particle size, conducted on a series of clastic rocks in Azerbaijan SSR, which were derived from a common source, leads to the conclusion that correlation and paleogeographic inferences should not be based on heavy mineral data alone, but should also depend on lithologic study. The facies and thickness of Aalenian Jurassic shales and sandstones indicates that they were deposited in the main Caucasian geosyncline and were derived chiefly from the Ciscaucasian geanticline to the north.

Geological sketch of the Borzhom and Bakuryani region between the Karelian valley of the Kura River and the Akhalkalak lava plateau. As a special volcanic rock, the porphyroclastic lava is a major rock type outcropping in the Mesozoic volcanic basin in the Baiqi area, Inner Monglia.

    Studies results show that the rock belongs to rhyolites of the Pacific calc-alkalic rock series, with chemical characteristics of volcanics in orogenic belts. The trace elements in the lava can be divided into two groups. Li, Rb, Cs, U, Th and F of the first group are relatively high and enriched during the late period of magmatism while Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co and Ni of the second group are relatively low and tend to decrease with increasing differentiation degree of magma.

    In the diagram of Sr isotope evolution for the crust and upper mantle the data points of porphyroclastic lava from the Baiqi area are found falling between the continental line and the basalt line, implying that the original magma was derived from syntexis and differentiation of the upper mantle and deeper crust. It is postulated that the Yenshanian orogenic movement and underthrusting of the Pacific plate toward the continent of China and of the Kura plate toward the Eurasian plate may have provided a heat source for the melting of deep-seated material.

    This anomalous character suggests that there is a fundamental compositional difference between the crust of the south Caspian basin and that of the surrounding region. Five new estimates of crustal velocity structure beneath the southern Caspian region are determined by the teleseismic receiver function method. The velocity-depth profiles derived from the receiver functions are compared to laboratory velocity estimates made at pressures and temperatures appropriate for the lower crust in Turkmenia, but the seismic P-wave data alone do not permit differentiation between the various possible rock types.

    The crustal model developed for the south Caspian basin is consistent with the hypothesis that the crystalline crust of the basin is a section of oceanic crust that is being overthrust by the continental crust around much of its. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the crystalline crust beneath the basin is a section of lower continental crust whose upper crustal section has been removed by erosion or faulting. Oils collected from eight different oil fields for analyses seem to have originated from a common source rock which probably is clasic, deposited in relatively subanoxic to suboxic transitional marine environment receiving low to moderate input of terrestrial organic matter.

    A computer-aided basin modeling study has been carried out to outline the spatial variation of the oil window and thus help in further identification of possible source rocks for the reservoired oil in the Lower Kura Depression. Results suggest that the potential hydrocarbon source horizons of the Miocene and Pliocene Red Bed Series of the so called Productive Succession are, even at depocenter areas, immature with respect to oil generation, and thus, are very unlikely to have been source rocks for the reservoired oils. However, the Oliogene-Lower Miocene Maykop rocks are marginally mature to mature depending on locality and the Eocene and older rocks are mature with respect to oil generation at all representative field locations.

    Oil generation commenced at the end of Pliocene and continues at present at depths between and 12 m. The main phase of oil generation is taking place at depths greater than what most of the wells in the study area have reached. ABSTRACT The authors describe the results of an extensive geomorphologic mapping program for the Kura-Araks Lowland of Azerbaijan, designed to increase the level of background information available for the rational planning and operation of irrigation systems. A particular focus is placed upon the identification and deposition of landforms of the Lowland exerting an influence on hydrogeologic conditions, the ground water regime, and on crop cultivation patterns.

    A multilayered structure of overlying thrusts has been identified in the mountain systems of the Great and Lesser Caucasus, Talysh, Kura intermountain rift; the structure is reflected in geomorphology as a system of longitudinal morphostructural steps and transversal blocks, general asymmetry and curvature types of mountains, varous types of underthrusts, river network outlines, etc. The maximum pressure of the Arabian cusp and the orogens formation falls on the Pliocene-Quaternary time. ABSTRACT The annual value relations are considered of anthropogenic and natural runoff losses in the Kura River basin for the period from to characterized by intense economic watershed development.

    Analyzed are the reasons and estimated are the values of the Kura annual runoff. Output, although slowly dwindling since as major onshore deposits have been depleted, now accounts for roughly 2. Reserves, estimated by various sources as ranging from to million tons, have been the focus of considerable interest by Western Oil companies, as the government of Azerbaijan has sought foreign expertise and equipment in the development of promising offshore fields in deeper waters of the Caspian Sea.

    This paper describes the geologic structure of Azerbaijan's major oil- and gas-bearing regions Caspian-Kuban, Kura, and Apsheron-Balkhan and outlines the development history of major fields. ABSTRACT Temperature measurements at shallow depths up to 3 m contain useful information about features of the geological structures; however, the noise caused by seasonal temperature variations and terrain relief may significantly distort the observed temperature field. Therefore, procedures are developed for the calculation and removal of these noise sources.

    Essential similarities between thermal and magnetic prospecting make it possible to apply to thermal prospecting modifications of the rapid methods of characteristic points and tangents developed for magnetic prospecting.

    The methods can be used to locate disturbing bodies by their associated temperature anomalies. The interpretation results obtained both on models and polymetallic Greater Caucasus and oil and gas Middle Kura Depression deposits testify to the accuracy and reliability of these methods. This is a facet of the material scope of application that could be characterized as its direct external dimension. To the contrary, what happens to be quite controversially perceived, as well as dis- cussed, is the existence and possible extent of what might consequently be labeled an indirect external dimension of the material scope of application.

    It concerns the ques- tion whether and, in the affirmative, to what degree and under which conditions the respective corporations are also expected to comply with the OECD Guidelines in their external production, trade and services relationships with other actors that are not based on the undertaking of an investment. On the one side, the significance of this issue for the effectiveness of the OECD Guidelines hardly needs to be empha- sized.

    Thus, excluding these business relationships from the material scope of application would indeed con- siderably constrain the influence potentially exercised by this steering instrument on corporate conduct as a whole. Large multinational corpora- tions are influential players in global supply chains, they can have a significant impact on social and environmental conditions throughout these production and supply chains.

    Heiner Flassbeck zur Situation der Eurokrise

    It thus seems en- tirely artificial to expect to be able to promote responsible business behaviour in selected parts of a corporation while excluding other parts of the same supply chain from having to meet interna- tionally defined standards. The implications of this indirect external dimension thus potentially also involve the quite far-reaching expectation that the respective enterprises take to a certain extent recourse to what might be qualified as protective actions aimed at promoting and en- suring the realization of community interests in relations exclusively involving other actors; a position that is — admittedly very broadly — comparable to the legal obliga- tions incumbent upon states in light of the protective dimension of human rights.

    See also for the respective criticism voiced, inter alia, by BIAC in this connection: In considering Recommendation II. On the due diligence approach in the broader context of corporate social responsibility see also for example more recently Human Rights Council, Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: The following paragraphs eleven and twelve distinguish between what is qualified here as the direct external and indirect external dimension of the material scope of application.

    Recognis- ing that thinking in this area is very much in a state of flux, the Working Party has agreed to do further analytical work […]. This applies not only to the substantive and procedural recommendations enshrined therein, but in particular also to the preceding issue of their implications for the material scope of application itself. Two aspects appear to be par- ticularly noteworthy in this regard.

    First, the extensive modifications of the text of the OECD Guidelines introduced as a result of the update visibly demonstrate the considerably amplified relevance attached by the adhering governments to the increas- ingly important question of responsible corporate conduct in business relations as a whole, including supply and production chains. The fact that these requirements are not even mentioned in the OECD Guidelines and their Commentaries can thus indeed serve as a strong indication for their demise as being one of the significant results of the update. Furthermore, the changes to the Guidelines — most certainly — do not have retroactive effect.

    That said, it might on the other side very well be possible and successful to initiate a respective procedure targeting the ac- tivities of an addressee that started already prior to that date but were continued un- remedied in December and afterwards. Despite the obvious normative differ- ences between the OECD Guidelines and the European Convention for the Protec- tion of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the — admittedly not always con- sistent — case-law of the European Court of Human Rights on its jurisdiction ratione temporis might nevertheless serve as a useful guidance in the search for an adequate answer to this in some individual cases potentially rather complex question.

    See also already supra under B. Preface From a functional perspective, the preface to the OECD Guidelines should not merely be regarded as a more or less informative introductory section. Rather, by out- lining the main overarching considerations on which the adoption and continued ap- plication of this instrument are based as well as the political and economic environ- ment it is envisioned to function in, it might very well be argued that the preface — in the same way as the preambles of international conventions and declarations — plays a notable role and consequently can be taken recourse to in the interpretation of the subsequent recommendations enshrined in the OECD Guidelines.

    Following the deletion of its former paragraph nine addressing the contributions by the OECD to the development of the international policy framework in which business activities are conducted, the preface of the OECD Guidelines now com- prises a total number of nine paragraphs. Thereby, already paragraph one has been subjected to a number of notable modifications.

    Despite the fact that surely caution is warranted in order not to overstate the importance of this amendment, it might nevertheless serve at least as an indication that the voluntary character of the OECD Guidelines, also most certainly in the eyes of some stakeholders a very important feature, will receive less emphasis in the future. At first sight it may give rise to the question why a rule of behavior should be included in this instrument belong- See, e.

    United Kingdom, Application No. See generally on this issue also for exam- ple Winckel, Melbourne University Law Review 23 , et seq. Indeed, the improvements in technology and the educa- tional level of populations help the expansion of electronic transactions and business through the Internet. These changes have a macroeconomic effect in the economy that should not be forgotten. In this manner, when a large part of the business trans- actions are made via Internet, there is a higher consumption and profit as well as a higher labour supply. Far beyond a mere recognition of this substantial change in the composition of actors in the international economic system, this amendment also clearly implies and hints at a more or less novel challenge to the effective implementation of the OECD Guide- lines by requiring the OECD and the adhering countries — more than ever — to inten- sify their efforts to promote compliance with this instrument on a universal scale.

    Substantive Provisions Following the update, the main part of the OECD Guidelines, providing for the substantive and procedural recommendations addressed to corporations, com- prises of eleven chapters. Concepts and Principles The provisions in the overarching section on Concepts and Principles of the OECD Guidelines have been subjected to two prominent modifications as a result of the update.

    Such challenges are in particular likely to arise for business enterprises operating in countries currently still governed by authoritarian regimes. Thereby, it is important to note that the OECD Guidelines do — in connec- tion with the circumstances just mentioned — not only provide for recommendations See supra under C.

    See also with regard to the modifications introduced in paragraph eleven of the Concepts and Principles already supra under C.

    6. This categorization, which is and has already previously been for example also displayed in the subsequent specific section on disclosure, results in the introduction of two different kinds of recommendations, the implications of which in particular for the implementation regime being in the current transitional period difficult to predict.

      The issue of engagement with stakeholders is addressed in the new paragraph fourteen of part A. This is an interesting change. Although communication among enterprises and stakeholders depends on the good faith of both parties, the involve- ment of social agents in the decision-making is very helpful for the satisfactory and responsible economic development of the areas where the enterprises are located.

      It could be even decisive for the welfare of local communities due to the direct influence upon their own interests. It is a powerful instrument to improve freedom, human rights and social justice. The New Chapter on Human Rights Although a broadly phrased recommendation that business enterprises should re- spect the human rights of those affected by their activities was already previously pro- vided in paragraph two of the General Policies of the OECD Guidelines, the introduction of a whole new chapter on human rights is undoubtedly among the most significant outcomes of the update.

      In light of this finding, the updated OECD Guidelines happen to be the first major steering regime in the realm of corporate social responsibility that more or less com- prehensively incorporates and implements the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In line with the United Nations Framework, the individual provisions of this chapter are phrased in rather general terms. In particular, they wisely abstain from stipulating specific human rights to be respected by corporations, thereby taking into account the large circle of potentially relevant entitlements as well as — at least equal- ly important — the dynamic, progressive developments in this area of international law.

      On the core body of human rights to be taken into account see already the reference supra in note For instance, enterprises should re- spect the human rights of individuals belonging to specific groups or populations that require par- ticular attention, where they may have adverse human rights impacts on them.

      In this connection, United Nations instruments have elaborated further on the rights of indigenous peoples; persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities; women; children; persons with disabilities; and migrant workers and their families. This is an expectation that is completely independent of the respective — appropriate or poor — performance displayed by the host or home states in question.

      Other Notable Amendments to Issue-Specific Chapters In addition to the introduction of a completely new chapter on the issue of hu- man rights, also most of the other issue-specific sections of the OECD Guidelines have been subject to in part substantial textual modifications.

      This finding applies for example to Chapter III dealing with the standards for disclosure of information by corporations. Its provisions have been — at least at the surface — considerably revised, taking into account some more recent developments in this field within and outside of See ibid. The second set of recommendations that corporations are at least encouraged to follow concerns the increasingly important and currently controversial issue of non- financial reporting standards.

      Similarly, the update fails to include social and environmental disclo- sure requirements in line with international best practice. This addition rightly reflects on the one side the overall increasing empha- sis of the OECD Guidelines on the effective realization of internationally recognized principles and standards, independent of the respective home and host states legal regimes and implementation performances. On the other side it also takes into ac- count the progressive and evolutionary character of the international regime on labour and social standards, thus introducing another dynamic reference element into this instrument in order to provide for a more flexible and timely adaption to changing normative circumstances and expectations.

      Second, a new paragraph four lit. Respective examples are the additions to the recommendations enshrined in paragraph six lit. Generally on the work of the GRI see also, e. Overall, the modifications introduced have, if appropriately and comprehen- sively implemented by corporations, surely a notable potentially to positively contrib- ute to the on-going global task of eliminating all forms of bribery and corruption. First, many of the provisions in this chapter reflect now more clearly and specifi- cally than before the ever-growing importance of enabling consumers to have access to information on the product and services offered by enterprises, including the econom- ic, environmental and social circumstances of the respective chains of production.

      On the importance of these instruments for the understanding of the respective recommendations enshrined in the OECD Guidelines see also the respective Commentary, reprinted in: These internal controls, ethics and compliance programmes or measures should include a system of financial and accounting procedures, includ- ing a system of internal controls, reasonably designed to ensure the maintenance of fair and accu- rate books, records, and accounts, to ensure that they cannot be used for the purpose of bribing or hiding bribery.

      The revised paragraph one of this chapter XI more explicitly and specifically stresses as well as elaborates on the expectation that enterprises comply not only with the letter but also the spirit of tax laws and regula- tions. Rather, taking into account that the outcome of the recent review process is likely to be definitive and thus determinative for at least the present decade, the following analysis will largely confine itself to concentrate on the modifications that have actual- ly been agreed upon by the adhering countries, with a view to evaluate their implica- tions for the respective institutional framework and its functioning in the years to come.

      National Contact Points The decentralized and in practice most important institutional level in the im- plementation framework is constituted by the National Contact Points NCPs , es- tablished in all adhering countries in accordance with paragraph eleven of the Con- cepts and Principles and paragraph I. It also might consequently, among the relevant stake- holders, being legitimately taken recourse to as an overarching interpretative guideline when concretizing the — subsequently outlined — requirements and expectations con- cerning the range of appropriate organizational structures of NCPs as well as with regard to the fulfillment of their responsibilities.

      Since the states had, in accordance with the previous Council Deci- sion and the Procedural Guidance attached thereto, always enjoyed a wide margin of appreciation in organizing their individual NCPs, the institutional structure of these entities had displayed a considerable variety of different forms.

      As of June , nine- teen NCPs were established in single government departments, eight of them in mul- tiple government departments, one comprised of government and business representa- tives, ten displayed a tripartite structure involving public officials and representatives from business as well as trade unions, one was composed of representatives from the government sector, business, trade unions and NGOs, and two displayed a mixed structure of independent experts and government representatives.

      In individual cases, this suspicion may have been right or wrong, but overall surely not completely devoid of any reasons. However, already based on the terms of reference ap- proved by the adhering countries on 30 April , their respective expectations should have realistically been reduced. However, a notable addition is the entirely new paragraph I. In addition, it might very well be that the activities of NCPs, including their handling of specific instances, that are established in a single ministry or other gov- ernment department are in the future subjected to a heightened degree of scrutiny as a result of the amendments introduced in the course of the update, not the least with regard to the admissibility and the success of submissions to the OECD Invest- ment Committee under paragraph II.

      However, it needs to be emphasized that the respective amendments have to be read in conjunc- tion with and are thus to be interpreted also in light of paragraph I. The only valid conclusion that one can draw from the content of this provision is that the adhering countries are currently still of the opinion that — at least under ideal circumstances and thus arguably rather theoretically — it is possible, and thus admissible, to retain an NCP in a single government department and nevertheless adequately fulfill the re- sponsibilities assigned to this entity under the respective OECD Council Decision and its accompanying documents.

      Their respon- See thereto infra under C. The considerable range of individual functions assigned to them can be broadly categorized and systemized as comprising five different classes of activities, among them three main competences as well as two of what might be qualified as subsidiary tasks.

      These two subsidiary functions, aimed at effectuating the exercise of the three principles responsibilities, are on the one side the obligation to cooperate with other NCPs as, inter alia, provided for in paragraph I. The three core functions of NCPs themselves are listed in paragraph I. They concern, first, the undertaking of informational and promotional activities; second, the handling of and response to enquires about the OECD Guidelines from — as stipulated in paragraph I.

      How- ever, three modifications appear to be noteworthy in this connection. First, as also already indicated by the new paragraph II. This is simultaneously one of the most complex and controversially perceived functions that NCPs are entrusted with. This kind of complaint procedure or non-judicial grievance mechanism has gained in- creasing recognition in recent years.

      As of March , complaints had been filed against one or more individual companies by NGOs alone. Against this background, any other decision than an incorporation of this topic in the list of items to be discussed in the course of the review process would have been Ibid. It should include advice on the information that is necessary to raise a specific instance, the requirements for parties participating in specific instances, including confi- dentiality, and the processes and indicative timeframes that will be followed by the NCP.

      This applies first and in particular to the introduction of a new overarching standard on how NCPs are required to approach and exercise their functions in this regard. The introductory section of paragraph I. However, it is already at this stage worth highlighting that these new guid- ing principles are most certainly among the class of standards, the observance of which by individual NCPs may be subject of a submission to the OECD Investment Com- mittee under paragraph II.

      See thereto also the respective commentaries, reprinted in: The same applies to the considerably more de- tailed guidance — the adherence to which by individual NCPs being again potentially subject to a submission under paragraph II. OECD Investment Committee Considering the at the first structural level — aside from the respective mutual ob- ligations to cooperate — largely decentralized character of the implementation pro- cesses on the basis of the numerous NCPs involved, the necessity or at least the desir- ability arises for an overarching centralized institutional component in order to pro- mote and facilitate the coordinated, uniform and thus predictable as well as effective See especially ibid.

      See also the only slightly modified paragraph I. Corresponding to the growing global importance of corporations from developing countries and other non-adhering states in the international economic system as also highlighted in the amended Preface to the OECD Guidelines, the respective external competences of the Investment Committee are now receiving con- siderably increased attention as a result of the update.

      Whereas the previous paragraph II. It shall also strive to co-operate with non- adhering countries that have a special interest in the Guidelines and in promoting their principles and standards. In an attempt to systemize the at least equally important inward-oriented compe- tences of the Investment Committee, the respective activities can again be subdivided into three categories. These could be adequately labeled as coordinator responsibilities, substantive supervisory functions or clarification competences as well as, finally, insti- tutional supervisory functions.

      While these provisions have — with the exception of the inclusion of OECD Watch founded in March — not been subjected to any major amendments in the course of the update, two nota- ble additions are provided in this connection. First, the new paragraph II. In this regard, it considers on the one side in accordance with paragraph II.

      While these substantive su- pervisory functions of the Investment Committee already existed prior to the See also in this connection already supra under C. See in this connection also on the appar- ent inadmissibility of submissions dealing with the findings and statements made by an NPCs that do not relate to the interpretation of the OECD Guidelines, ibid. This probably ap- plies for example to factual findings made by individual NCPs in connection with specific instanc- es. Taking into account that this network and its member organizations have been — together with trade unions — particularly active in filing cases to NCPs, it is to be presumed that this procedure will be more frequently tak- en recourse to and thus increasingly occupy the Investment Committee in the years to come.

      Although it most certainly remains to be seen whether and how this procedure is go- ing to be applied in practice, as noted above, it is the addition of OECD Watch to On the previous version see paragraph II. For more recent information see, e. OECD Secretariat Whereas the NCPs and the Investment Committee played already prior to the update an important role in the implementation framework of the OECD Guidelines, a new institutional and operational element introduced as a result of the recent review process is the role and functions explicitly assigned to the OECD Secre- tariat in this regard.

      In accordance with paragraph II.
