Reduction of accident risks at the oilfield pipelines is ensured by implementation of innovative technologies and diagnostic methods, timely preventive measures, replacing of pipelines, creation of modern methodology and technical regulatory basis that covers these issues.
«Surgutneftegas» PJSC takes a system approach based on package solutions for optimized quality control of construction and safe maintenance of field pipelines. The Company’s spheres of activity to increase the operational reliability of the field pipelines are:
destructive and
dehydration of well production in initial water separation units;
use of pipes with an external and internal
pipeline inhibitor protection;
field pipeline corrosion monitoring and diagnostics;
equipping 100% of oil pipelines with pig
regular ground and air patrolling and inspection of field pipelines;
timely field pipelines routine repairs and overhaul;
conducting hydraulic calculations for field pipeline systems;
control over pressure and volume balance of pumped fluids;
creation and maintenance databases, computer modeling of the existing systems of field pipelines for the purpose of their optimization.
Receipt inspection of pipe products
Performance reliability of field pipeline systems is important at each phase of operation starting from receipt inspection and compliance verification of pipes. Receipt inspection is conducted for 100% of pipes for oil and oil and gas pipelines of «Surgutneftegas» PJSC.
To ensure environmental safety of the pipelines and maintain a high level of pipe products quality, the Company performs receipt inspection of the pipes using destructive and
Field pipeline corrosion monitoring
Pipeline corrosion monitoring, i.e. constant control of risk factors, causing the corrosion of field pipelines, allows the Company to assess the technical condition of a pipeline with a high degree of probability.
The main reason for loss of integrity of field pipelines is their corrosive wear due to aggressiveness of transported liquids. Among other risk factors — the pumping mode of well production, temperature and the condition of the surface of pipeline metal.
Annually, 500–700 kilometers of field pipelines of «Surgutneftegas» PJSC undergo pipe pigging. This method of online diagnostics of field pipelines is the most reliable one for individual estimation of the remaining lifetime of pipelines in operation.
The corrosion monitoring using the gravimetric method is performed at 385 control points. This method is a tool for managing the efficiency of
Based on the pipelines condition data the Company organized their routine repairs and overhaul. In 2019, 686.5 kilometers of pipelines underwent overhauls.
Inhibitor protection
Development of the system of pipeline integrity management in «Surgutneftegas» PJSC allowed us to decrease the risk of pipeline failures by 10 times. Corrosion inhibitors are used with continuous injection technology with a preliminary shock dose. The system for inhibitor monitoring provides consistency of corrosion inhibitors performance in line with benchmark at 96–99%, and consistency of effectiveness of inhibitor protection at 90–95%.
In 2019, 1,616 tonnes of inhibitors were used to protect 1,826 kilometers of field pipelines from corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors are injected by 231 chemical injection units, which are equipped with devices for automatic control with transfer of operating parameters to ASU TP
Receipt inspection of corrosion inhibitors is made by means of
