An important element in ensuring the stability of the gas transmission system of PJSC Gazprom is the reliability and safety of gas pumping units (GPU), their systems and equipment. Due to the aging of a large number of operating types and modifications of gas compressor units, the task of maintaining their healthy technical condition and ensuring reliable operation through maintenance and repair (MRO) is especially important. At present, when determining the project cost of GPU maintenance and repair work, indicators and data of different levels are used, and at the same time, data on the nomenclature, physical and cost indicators of work in the context of GPU types are not regulated and unified, depending on the full range of work performed by type MRO, technical condition and operating time of units. The article describes the methodological aspects of the development of resource-technological models (RTM) for maintenance and repair in the context of types (modifications) of gas compressor units, types and lists of works that will allow for the integrated formation of the project cost of work.

Increase of repair efficiency is achieved due to the formation of centralized specialized production facilities which implement the vehicle component parts repair technique with the use of industrial technological processes to restore the technical state of the units and their components. In this case, the establishment of the expediency of sending the unit to repair, as well as the defining of volumes and nomenclature for necessary repair actions, should be performed at the stage of pre-repair diagnosis for each individual unit taking into account its actual technical condition. However, the effectiveness of pre-repair diagnosis using both deterministic and probabilistic methods of processing and analyzing the information obtained is significantly reduced by the presence of errors in the recognition of defects and the distribution of aggregates in accordance with the repair work variety preformed at the repair enterprise. Using promising cognitive technology based on neural networks it is possible to completely avoid the losses associated with the repetition of repair work. Therefore, the formation of scientific and methodological bases for the development, training and practical application of artificial neural networks in the subsystems of the pre-repair diagnosis of the repair fund of automobile vehicle omponent parts is an important and urgent task. The paper presents the results of analytical studies and a number of original techniques for the formation of scientific and methodological foundations for the development, training and practical application of artificial neural networks in the process of diagnosis the car vehicle component parts and special oil and gas equipment entering the centralized repair according to their technical condition

The operation of various vehicles in the field of urban electric transport is accompanied by high costs to maintain their working condition throughout the service life. Preservation of serviceability of vehicles is provided by performance of planned and preventive works on maintenance (MOT) and repair, and also the unscheduled repairs which are carried out for elimination of failures which arise in the interprophylactic periods, and malfunctions. As already noted, in the planned preventive maintenance and repair system, the vehicle after a certain mileage (time) is forcibly subjected to preventive actions in the prescribed amount. At the same time, despite the adjustment of maintenance and repair modes depending on a number of factors, there is no individual approach to each rolling stock. However, there is a need for such an approach, because even when rolling stock under the same conditions, the technical condition of each of them at the same time due to a number of reasons (individual characteristics of rolling stock, driving quality, maintenance, etc.) can differ significantly. Not every rolling stock requires all the operations provided by the "hard" volume of a particular type of maintenance. Execution of these "unnecessary" operations leads, on the one hand, to incomplete realization of individual properties of a rolling stock, increase in expenses for MOT, on the other, at all does not promote improvement of its technical condition. On the contrary, more frequent interventions in the work of joints of units and mechanisms contribute to increased wear of bonded surfaces, the appearance of damage to joints, violation of the tightness of joints. Significant losses of labor and material resources are also associated with a large amount of repair work due to late detection of failures. The fullest use of individual capabilities of rolling stock and ensuring on this basis the high efficiency of rolling stock during operation can be done through the widespread introduction into the technological process of maintenance and repair of diagnosing the technical condition of rolling stock. To increase the efficiency of the vehicle, use, methods and diagnostic tools have been developed, which are used both during maintenance and repairs, and as an independent technological process. Diagnosis allows to increase the coefficient of readiness and probability of trouble-free operation of vehicles, to reduce the complexity and cost of operation, to increase the maintainability and controllability of vehicles.

Modern machines are subject to progressive wear that occurs at different rates, which leads to unpredictable failures that reduce the reliability and durability of machines. The strategy of maintenance and repair is aimed at eliminating these problems. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in analyzing the basic principles of the strategy of maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery in order to ensure control of the technical condition of machine parts. (Materials and methods) When resource diagnostics is used, , the allowable value of the parameter is set in advance for a part . This value is the tolerance that corresponds to a certain wear rate of the part. The tolerance is set based on the condition that if the current value of the controlled resource parameter during the next diagnosis is less than the set value, then such a part at the current value of the wear rate can be finalized until the next inter-control check. Taking into account the wear rate of the same type of parts from the group when determining the allowable wear during their resource diagnostics becomes an urgent task. (Results and discussions) As a result of research, the article presents "Methodology for determining the main indicators of reliability of parts of agricultural machines with different wear rates" and "Methodology for determining the tolerance system of parts of agricultural machines with different wear rates". (Conclusions) The article presents the tolerance system that reduces the probability of failure of machine parts in operation. During resource diagnostics, those parts whose resource parameters exceed the tolerance are rejected.

The results of repeated measurements of the acceleration of gravity by the Russian absolute ballistic field gravimeter GABL-M on points of oil and gas deposits in the permafrost over a five year period are presented. The changes of gravity acceleration by the absolute gravimeter and GRACE satellite were compared. The results of comparisons of differences gravity acceleration by ballistic gravimeter GABL-M and relative Canadian gravimeters CG5 were [i]shown. The errors in determination of parameters of the gravitational field ballistic gravimeter GABL-M and CG5 gravimeters group were presented. The method of measurement with the gravimeter GABL-M and the method of determining the vertical gradients relative CG5 gravity meters was described. The necessity of introducing corrections of hydrogeology is caused by influence of hydro geological factors on the gravitational field in the permafrost. They are comparable with the values of the field change in the result of gas pumping.

Abstract Tracers are practical tools to gather information about the subsurface fluid flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Typical interwell tracer tests involve injecting and producing tracers from multiple wells to evaluate important parameters such as connectivity, flow paths, fluid-fluid and fluid-rock interactions, and reservoir heterogeneity, among others. The upcoming of nanotechnology enables the development of novel nanoparticle-based tracers to overcome many of the challenges faced by conventional tracers. Among the advantages of nanoparticle-based tracers is the capability to functionalize their surface to yield stability and transportability through the subsurface. In addition, nanoparticles can be engineered to respond to a wide variety of stimuli, including light. The photoacoustic effect is the formation of sound waves following light absorption in a material sample. The medical community has successfully employed photoacoustic nanotracers as contrast agents for photoacoustic tomography imaging. We propose that properly engineered photoacoustic nanoparticles can be used as tracers in oil reservoirs. Our analysis begins by investigating the parameters controlling the conversion of light to acoustic waves, and strategies to optimize such parameters. Next, we analyze different kind of nanoparticles that we deem potential candidates for our subsurface operations. Then, we briefly discuss the excitation sources and make a comparison between continuous wave and pulsed sources. We finish by discussing the research gaps and challenges that must be addressed to incorporate these agents into our operations. At the time of this writing, no other study investigating the feasibility of using photoacoustic nanoparticles for tracer applications was found. Our work paves the way for a new class of passive tracers for oil reservoirs. Photoacoustic nanotracers are easy to detect and quantify and are therefore suitable for continuous in-line monitoring, contributing to the ongoing real-time data efforts in the oil and gas industry.

Oil and Gas (O&G) platforms in the North Sea are facing aging problems as many of the installations have matured and are approaching their design lifetime. Flowlines are used to transport oil and gas well stream from the wellhead to the production manifold. They are categorised as one of the most critical components on a production facility. Flowline degradation takes place due to corrosion and erosion. The deterioration of a flowline may increase the risk of leakages, ruptures, etc., which shall lead to serious HSE (health, safety and environmental) and financial consequences. Any such risks have a direct impact on the O&G installation’s technical integrity as well as the operator’s sustainability concerns. Conventionally, pipelines are designed with safety provisions to provide a theoretical minimum failure rate over the life span. Furthermore, to reduce the risk of failure various techniques are routinely used to monitor the status of pipelines during the operation phase. The existing methods of flowline health monitoring planning requires one to take into consideration the operator’s plant strategy, flowline degradation mechanisms, historical data, etc. A technical condition report is made based on findings’ reports and degradation trends. This report recommends the inspection of a number of points on the flowlines in a certain year using non-destructive evaluation methods such as visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, etc. Based on the technical condition report, in general for a certain preventive maintenance shutdown, 10 to 15 flowline inspection openings are accommodated as finance, time and resource availability are taken into consideration. However, it is customary to plan to open more locations in a certain inspection package than can be inspected and minimization of such points is at present done on an ad hoc basis. This paper suggests a formal model and a framework to formally minimize the number of visual inspections by executing the plant strategy as well as HSE concerns. The model is derived using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) framework, which is a multi-criteria decision-making approach. The model is developed based on literature, industrial practice, experience as well as real inspection data from a mature offshore O&G installation located on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

As worldwide energy demand continues to grow, oil and gas fields have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build the substructures of smart fields. Management of smart fields requires integrating knowledge and methods in order to automatically and autonomously handle a great frequency of real-time information streams gathered from those wells. Furthermore, oil businesses movement towards enhancing everyday production skills to meet global energy demands signifies the importance of adapting to the latest smart tools that assist them in running their daily work. A laboratory experiment was carried out to evaluate gas lift wells performance under realistic operations in determining reservoir pressure, production operation point, injection gas pressure, port size, and the influence of injection pressure on well performance. Lab VIEW software was used to determine gas passage through the Smart Gas Lift valve (SGL) for the real-time data gathering. The results showed that the wellhead pressure has a large influence on the gas lift performance and showed that the utilized smart gas lift valve can be used to enhanced gas Lift performance by regulating gas injection from down hole.
