The procedure for action in cases of a threat or an accident at oil pipeline transport facilities is defined in the relevant plans for emergency spillage prevention and response – ESPR. The purpose of the article is to analyze the requirements of the legislation in the field of development and approval of ESPR. The specifics of ESRP development at trunk pipeline facilities in Russia are noted, the US experience in combating oil and oil products spillage is presented. The problematic issues in the development and approval of ESRP, relevant for the domestic system of main oil pipeline transport, have been considered. It was established that the Federal Law No. 207-FL, adopted in July 2020, fundamentally changed the outdated and required revision approach to the coordination and approval of ESRP. At the same time, further work is needed to create a regulatory framework that establishes requirements for ESRP, as well as to improve ESRP, taking into account modern methods of predicting accidents, identifying emergencies, risk-oriented approaches to planning measures to localize and eliminate accidents, the specifics of operating organizations.

The problems relating to assessment of pipelines operated in the permafrost were analyzed and the need to resolve them was justified. Possible methods and software tools allowing the systematic approach implementation to forecasting the stress state of pipelines were presented. The strength prediction algorithm of main pipelines upon deformation due to the soil subsidence in the thawing areoles in permafrost sections was shown. The calculation of thawing and subsidence zone is based on existing rules with adaptation to underground pipelines. For operation safety control the alternative calculations of main oil pipeline durability for real conditions of the route section in the Amur region district have been executed.

The use of anti-turbulent and depressant additives makes it possible to increase the efficiency of oil pipelines transporting high-viscosity oil. In this method, the principle of increasing the efficiency of transportation is based on reducing the hydraulic resistance and increasing the fluidity of oil. The work carried out a theoretical study of the existing types of anti-turbulent and depressant additives. This article presents an experimental study of the effect of the MR 1088 depressant additive on an oil sample from the Usa – Ukhta main oil pipeline.

Abstract The work provides an assessment of the geoecological situation during an oil spill on the water surface. The modeling of the process of oil burning on the water surface is carried out, and also a model for estimating the oil burning time during depressurization of the underwater passage of the main oil pipeline is proposed. The assessment of individual and social risk in case of ignition of an oil spill as a result of depressurization of the underwater crossing of the main oil pipeline is given. The fire risk assessment was carried out under the condition of a guillotine rupture of the underwater pipeline, since, despite the lowest frequency of this type of depressurization, the levels of exposure to damaging factors, due to the largest volume of oil spills, will be maximum and will make the main contribution to the magnitude of the fire risk. When forecasting an emergency, a model of the spread of an oil slick along the water surface of a watercourse was developed, which takes into account the wind speed and the speed of the river flow.

Strength properties of the pipe material are random variables and have a statistical straggling that differs for pipe products of different grades. Distribution of these properties significantly effects on the results of calculating the current level of strength reliability and risk of linear sections for the main pipelines. The reliability of such calculations results depends not only on the distribution that obeys the strength properties of the pipe material at the surveyed section, but also on the dispersion limits of these properties. At present, the main pipelines have significant service lives. Due to this, when making assessment of the technical condition, safety, and risk level of linear sections, the issue is raised of how stable the distribution is related to the pipe steel strength properties with an increase of the service life for the main pipeline. The results of studies are presented concerning the actual distribution and limits of dispersion for the strength properties of pipe steel grade 17G1S after a long-term operation of the main pipeline. It is established that the regularities and strength properties dissipation limits for the material of a pipe made of the above steel are changing with time. Based on the results of the study, a practical example is considered related to the assessment of the effect of the identified changes on the probability of failure and the risk level for one of sections at the linear part of the main oil pipeline. The results obtained in the work substantiate the need in considering changes in the distribution of strength properties that arises with an increase in the main pipelines service life. The outlined approach allows to increase the reliability of risk assessment results for the main pipelines having long-term service life.

В продолжение исследования теории и практики государственного регулирования естественных монополий критически проанализирован ряд неценовых и ценовых методов регулирования. Рассмотрен опыт ценового (тарифного) регулирования сферы трубопроводного транспорта нефти и нефтепродуктов в России и США. Отмечено, что для регулирования тарифов нефтепроводных компаний в США используется комбинированный метод долгосрочной индексации, при этом пересмотр рабочего индекса осуществляется каждые пять лет. В нашей стране с целью регулирования отрасли магистрального нефтепроводного транспорта регламентировано применение значительного ряда методов, однако фактически используется только один из них - индексирование. При этом возникает множество вопросов, связанных с выбором тарифной базы, собственно индекса, а также с установленным периодом регулирования. Авторы отмечают, что в качестве базового оптимально использовать индекс цен производителей промышленной продукции. Указывается, что регулирование тарифов на услуги естественных монополий (в частности, нефтепроводного транспорта) в привязке к индексу потребительских цен возможно лишь в течение ограниченного периода времени и при условии действия гибких правил изменения формулы цены, иначе не исключено формирование структурных и социально-экономических диспропорций за счет искажения соотношения цен в различных секторах экономики. Ключевыми условиями для решения проблем государственного регулирования естественно-монопольных компаний следует считать обновление Федерального закона «О естественных монополиях» № 147-ФЗ и продолжение работы над проектом закона «Об основах государственного регулирования цен (тарифов)», в том числе в части законодательного закрепления методов регулирования при обязательном учете отраслевой и видовой специфики регулируемых компаний и сочетании общих и специфических подходов к регулированию. In continuation of the research of the theory and practice of state regulation of natural monopolies, a number of non-price and price regulation methods are critically analyzed. The experience of price (tariff) regulation of the sphere of pipeline transportation of oil and petroleum products in Russia and the USA is considered. It is noted that a combined method of long-term indexation is used to regulate tariffs of oil pipeline companies in the USA, with a revision of the working index every five years. In our country, in order to control the industry of main pipeline transportation a significant number of methods are regulated, but in fact only one of them is used - indexation. In this case, there are many questions related to the choice of the tariff base, the index itself and the set period of regulation. The authors note that it is optimal to use the price index of industrial product producers as the base one. It is indicated that the regulation of tariffs for the services of natural monopolies (in particular, oil pipeline transportation) in the “context” of the consumer price index is possible only for a limited period of time and subject to flexible rules for changing the price formula, otherwise the formation of structural and socioeconomic disparities through the distortion of the price ratio in various sectors of the economy is not excluded. The key conditions for solving the problems of state control of natural monopolies should be the updating of the Federal Law «On Natural Monopolies» No. 147-FZ and the continuation of work on the draft law «On the Principles of State Regulation of Prices (Tariffs)», including in terms of legislative consolidation of regulation methods with mandatory consideration of the industry and specific features of regulated companies and a combination of general and specific approaches to regulation.

The conditions for the formation of technological losses of oil and petroleum products during transportation through the main pipelines are considered and it is established that the main sources of these losses are large and small airflows of reservoirs. The value of technological losses from evaporation from tanks depends on a large number of factors, in particular: storage temperatures, pumping rates, tank filling heights, physical and chemical properties of the transported liquid, tanks turnover. Until now, a unified approach to the procedure for determining the qualitative and quantitative composition of technological losses from the evaporation of hydrocarbons during storage has not been developed, which leads to disagreements in assessing the actual losses of energy carriers. According to the analysis, it was found that the best is the calculation method for determining the actual irrecoverable losses of hydrocarbons. Its application involves the use of mathematical relationships that describe the dynamics of evaporation of oil and petroleum products in real conditions. To establish such relationships, it is proposed to develop and implement a unit that enables simulation of the process of evaporation from tanks under various conditions and obtaining experimental data taking into account a combination of a variety of factors that affect the amount of the technological losses.
