The author’s vision of the methodological aspect of assessing the reliability of medium pressure gas pipelines is presented. Analysis of existing methods for assessing the reliability of gas pipelines with the identification of positive and negative features was carried out, a methodological approach to assessing the reliability of medium pressure gas pipelines by gas flow rate and pressure was developed and tested, and a scale for identifying the results of reliability calculation was developed. The test conducted on the example of a really working gas pipeline with a test for reliability showed its promise.

In-service welding is a kind of important method to ensure the integrality of oil gas pipeline and the thermal cycle of which is significant for repairing. Used SYSWELD to establish model and simulate thermal cycle of in-service welding on X70 steel gas pipeline, compared thermal cycles of in-service welding and air-cooling welding, studied the influence of gas pressure and flow rate on thermal cycle. The result shows that peak temperature of the coarse grain in heat affected zone (CGHAZ) of in-service welding is similar to air cooling welding, but the cooling time of t8/5, t8/3 and t8/1 decreases at certain degree. Peak temperature of CGHAZ of in-service welding doesn’t vary match with gas pressure and flow rate either. t8/5, t8/3 and t8/1 decrease when gas pressure increases. t8/5 varies with the gas pressure linearly. When the pressure is less than 4MPa, t8/3 and t8/1 decrease rapidly while gas pressure increases. When the pressure is more than 4MPa, t8/3 and t8/1 decrease slowly while gas pressure increases. t8/5, t8/3 and t8/1 decrease when the flow rate increases. When gas flow rate is less than 10m/s, t8/5, t8/3 and t8/1 decrease rapidly while flow rate increases. When gas flow rate is more than 10m/s, t8/5, t8/3 and t8/1 decrease slowly while flow rate increases.

Abstract Understanding the behavior of the multiphase flow in the porous media near the wellbore region is essential for increasing wells’ productivity and oil recovery. In this paper, an experimental and numerical study of multiphase flow in porous media near a perforation tunnel is presented. The effect of properties on the flow, such as porosity and permeability, are crucial for increasing oil and gas production. Two-phase flow through a cylindrical porous media with a perforation tunnel samples experimentally and numerically tested. Five sandstone samples were created at Memorial university labs, the sample dimensions are 30.48 cm high, 15.54 cm diameter, and a perforation tunnel has a 25.54 cm depth and 2.54cm diameter. The air and water injected into the sample radially at different flow rates, the water flow rate ranged from 1 to 3 LPM, and the air 3 to 9 LPM. The simulation carried out using ANSYS-Fluent 18.1 commercial software simulates the Volume Of Fluid method VOF coupled with the different turbulent models used to simulate the flow. The results showed that the porous media’s pressure buildup is greatly affected by the gas flow rate and its permeability. The wellbore pressure and porosity have more negligible effect on the pressure buildup profile in the porous media. The dominant factor for the breakthrough of a fluid in a core sample is the gas flow rate. Incorporating the gas flow in a porous system will reduce hydrostatic pressure loss, and less time is required to activate the breakthrough time.

Natural gas NG consumption in industry and energy of Ukraine, in recent years falls down as a result of the crisis in the country’s economy, to a certain extent due to the introduction of renewable energy sources along with alternative technologies, while in the utility sector the consumption of fuel gas flow rate enhancing because of an increase the number of consumers. The natural gas is mostly using by domestic purpose for heating of premises and for cooking. These items of the gas utilization in Ukraine are already exceeding the NG consumption in industry. Cooking is proceeding directly in the living quarters, those usually do not meet the requirements of the Ukrainian norms DBN for the ventilation procedures. NG use in household gas stoves is of great importance from the standpoint of controlling the emissions of harmful components of combustion products along with maintenance the satisfactory energy efficiency characteristics of NG using. The main environment pollutants when burning the natural gas in gas stoves are including the nitrogen oxides NOx (to a greater extent — highly toxic NO2 component), carbon oxide CO, formaldehyde CH2O as well as hydrocarbons (unburned UHC and polyaromatic PAH). An overview of environmental documents to control CO and NOx emissions in comparison with the proper norms by USA, EU, Russian Federation, Australia and China, has been completed. The modern designs of the burners for gas stoves are considered along with defining the main characteristics: heat power, the natural gas flow rate, diameter of gas orifice, diameter and spacing the firing openings and other parameters. The modern physical and chemical principles of gas combustion by means of atmospheric ejection burners of gas cookers have been analyzed from the standpoints of combustion process stabilization and of ensuring the stability of flares. Among the factors of the firing process destabilization within the framework of analysis above mentioned, the following forms of unstable combustion/flame unstabilities have been considered: flashback, blow out or flame lifting, and the appearance of flame yellow tips.

Three simple computational techniques are proposed and employed to demonstrate the effect of fluctuating flow rate of feed on the behaviour and performance of an isothermal, continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). A fluidized bed reactor (FBR), in which a non-catalytic gas-solid reaction occurs, is also considered. The influence of amplitude and frequency of gas flow rate fluctuations on reactant concentrations at the exit of the CSTR is shown in four different situations.
