since the pressure of hydrocarbon reservoirs drops due to production, in order to keep the production rate constant or increase enhanced recovery, few methods are used. one of which is gas injection to the reservoir. on the other hand, due to reduction in oil production potential of aghajari oil field, gas injection is highly required to pressurize and enhance oil recovery. there is a possibili...

laska has accepted two Stranded Gas Applications that will allow North Slope producers to enter into negotiations on terms to construct natural gas pipelines to the Lower 48. The applications, which suggest that the future for major pipelines to bring natural gas to the U.S. remains bright, also indicate the rising competitive interest in building such a pipeline. Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski an...

offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. a safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. while the cost...

The article presents statistical data on industrial accidents that occurred at hazardous production facilities in the oil and gas industry main pipeline transport Russian Federation. dynamics of changes has been analyzed damaging factors occurrence fatal by hazard classes have considered. results this study can be used to build predictive simulation models for purposes technosphere safety manag...

The purpose of the paper is to analyze a deformation mechanism mine degassing pipelines forecast their spatial changes in terms intensification underground mining coal-gas seams.
 Methodology. deals with expert assessment available approaches diagnostics technical condition pipelines, which are constructed within in-seam workings floor rocks prone heaving. results scheduled surveying measu...

Real-time models and associated applications have been widely used to support the safe and effi cient operation of pipelines from within the confi nes of the pipeline operations environment. Commercial systems have also been independently implemented to manage the business relationships between gas suppliers, shippers, transporters, and end users; however, the direct interchange of information ...

In the oil and gas industry, pipeline is main mode to transport product can be applied for long-distance transportation; hence some pipe segments may buried underground. Buckling as cause of deformation failure often found at in-service during inspection activity. Changes in laying conditions such design operational parameters, human activity geological movement affect redistribution that lead ...

Introduction: The safety of the Unites States’ natural gas supply is of prime importance since 30% of the energy produced in the country is derived from it. Natural gas is supplied through a million miles of vast pipeline network [1]. Pipeline companies have an impressive safety record due to the proactive role of standards and inspection of pipelines. Since the pipelines are getting old, there...
