Возможность эффективного тушения резервуаров подслойным способом во многом зависит от подъема пены на поверхность горючей жидкости. Критически рассмотрены существующие методики испытаний высоконапорных пеногенераторов для подслойного пожаротушения. Предложены расчетные формулы для определения величины минимальной кратности пены, способной к подъему, в зависимости от состава и плотности горючей жидкости, высоты столба горючей жидкости, типа используемого пенообразователя. Обоснованы условия применения существующих систем подслойного пожаротушения для резервуаров с различной высотой стенки. During the certification tests of high-pressure foam generators for sublayer oil and oil products fire extinguishing in the tanks there is created a conditional back pressure at the generator output, and the foam expansion ratio is measured when this back pressure is no longer present. In accordance with the standardized methodology the foam expansion ratio is measured in the measuring container by weight. The derived foam after passing throughout the pipeline is supplied to the measuring container where the foam expansion ratio is measured under the atmospheric pressure. In practice, during fire extinguishing the flammable liquid exerts a constant excess pressure on the formed foam. The expansion ratio of the foam decreases in proportion to the pressure value of the column. As a result, the foam expansion ratio can reduce to a value when the Archimedean buoyant force no longer occurs. In this case, the foam cannot be supplied to the surface of the flammable liquid and the fire cannot be extinguished. The back pressure created at the tank base depends on the height of the tank wall (level of the liquid fuel filling) and on its density. Foam rise is possible if the foam density is lower than the fuel density. Light oil products extinguishing requires greater expansion ratio foam than heavy oil products extinguishing. At the same time, heavy oil products cause greater back pressure and a decrease in the foam expansion ratio. Alcohols in the composition of modern high-octane gasolines produce an additional defoaming effect on the foam, which questions the feasibility of using a sublayer fire extinguishing system of modern high-octane gasolines. The article evaluates a set of parameters that affect the required foam expansion ratio for sublayer extinguishing of oil and oil products fires in tanks and justifies the minimum value of its expansion ratio.

The article analyzes the state of pricing in the oil market, examines topical issues of assessing the emerging factors of influence both on the domestic and foreign markets. Particular attention is paid to the issues of the emerging situation of supply and demand for oil and oil products, regulation of its production, storage, transportation, processing, formation of sales volumes and income from sales. Highlighted and disclosed the problem of price regulation in the aspects of finding and achieving flexible forms of negotiating prices for oil supply and oil sales, taking into account various options for the volume of oil production.

This paper presents the synchronisation of economic cycles of GDP and crude oil and oil products cargo volumes in major Polish seaports. On the one hand, this issue fits into the concept of sustainable development including decoupling; on the other hand, the synchronisation may be an early warning tool. Crude oil and oil products cargo volumes are a specific barometer that predicts the next economic cycle, especially as they are primary sources of energy production. The research study applies a number of TRAMO/SEATS methods, the Hodrick–Prescott filter, spectral analysis, correlation and cross-correlation function. Noteworthy is the modern approach of using synchronisation of economic cycles as a tool, which was described in the paper. According to the study results, the cyclical components of the cargo traffic and GDP were affected by the leakage of other short-term cycles. However, based on the cross-correlation, it was proved that changes in crude oil and oil products cargo volumes preceded changes in GDP by 1–3 quarters, which may be valuable information for decision-makers and economic development planners.

Оценка геоэкологических рисков на объектах нефтегазового комплекса непосредственно связана с обеспечением безопасности территорий, на которых они расположены. Особенно тяжелые последствия воздействия на экологическое состояние территорий оказывают аварийные разливы нефти и нефтепродуктов. Решение данного класса задач требует оценки уровня аварийного разлива и его классификации с позиций возникновения чрезвычайной ситуации. В статье рассмотрена возможность замены традиционных визуальных методов оценки разливов на разработанные автоматизированные и автоматические способы, использующие для решения задач классификации материалов аэрокосмических съемок. Приведены результаты автоматической классификации изображений мониторинговых наблюдений, которые имели место при аварийном разливе дизельного топлива в г. Норильске, аварии танкера на морской акватории о. Маврикий и аварии сухопутного нефтепровода. Полученные результаты показали работоспособность разработанных методов и возможность их использования в задачах инвентаризации и паспортизации аварийных разливов нефти на суше и акваториях. Purpose. The aim of this work is to ensure the environmental safety of the territories where the accidental spills of oil and oil products have occurred. They have a significant negative impact on the environment of land and water areas. To minimize their impact and eliminate the consequences, an “emergency” regime is introduced in Russia. Depending on the level of the oil spill, it may cover both the territory of a separate facility and a region, and the entire state as a whole. Methods. Traditionally, an estimate of the level of a spill is determined based on the mass of the spilled oil through visual observations from aircraft or ground measurements at selected points. This approach does not allow an accurate assessment of the total area of pollution, the nature of pollution inside the oil slick, as well as the dynamics of its spread over time. To eliminate these limitations, it is proposed to use systems of aerospace monitoring observations and automatic measurements of oil slick parameters: area, composition and mass. To solve this problem, the method of “comparison with the reference standard” was used. Here, samples of color gradations of oil and oil product spill spots proposed in the Bonn Agreement of 2004 were prepared as reference standards. Results. The method was implemented using the experimental software complex AGIR-TM (Aerospace, Geoinformatics, Research, Risks-Technological Modules) which was developed at the Department of Geoecology of the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU). During the experimental testing of this method, the work was carried out to assess the accidental spill in the following cases diesel fuel in Norilsk (2020), oil on a tanker in the water area of Mauritius (2020) and oil in an oil pipeline (2012, 2017). The method provides the localization of the area spills along with the color correction (normalization), classification of the composition of oil and oil products and the through account of the investigated processes. The work results in determination for the area of the oil and oil products spill, its composition and weight. Conclusions. The article shows the relevance of solving problems related to the problem of liquidation of emergency spills of oil and oil products at the facilities of the oil and gas complex. The main approaches to aerospace monitoring observations and automatic interpretation of spill parameters are considered. The proposed approach is based on the use of “digital twins” that implement the transition from manual (visual) to automated and automatic modes for determining the parameters of an oil spill: area, composition and mass. The results presented in the article showed the efficiency of the proposed method and the possibility of its use in the tasks of assessing geoecological risks associated with accidental spills of oil and oil products on land and in water areas.
