The paper presents a method of obtaining titanium nickelide damping properties and the mechanism of its manifestation; a number of factors are identified that have a major influence on the manifestation and management of this property when designing the equipment, operating in difficult loading conditions, for example, in the oil and gas industry. The conducted analysis also showed that when designing parts, elements and assemblies manufactured from titanium nickelide, it is necessary to take into account its changed technological properties after giving, for example, the properties of super-elasticity, its corrosion resistance to a specific composition of the medium, for example, due to its weak resistance to atomic hydrogen. But at the same time, if the presented factors are correctly taken into account, the objects made of titanium nickelide will be more reliable than those made from other materials as well as due to its ability to adapt to changing operating parameters, the equipment will prolong the operational life-time between failures.

 

Keywords: titanium nickelide; damping properties of titanium nickelide; intellectual material; energy-efficient equipment; factors affecting the manifestation of damping properties of titanium nickelide.

Oil production intensification is accompanied by complicated well operation conditions. Today, the most widespread problem in the operation of electric submersible pumps (ESP) is mechanical impurities, salt depositions, corrosion, free gas, complex inclinometry, asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits, and high-viscosity oil emulsions. These negative factors reduce the efficiency of downhole pumping units due to degradation of their performance characteristics. To ensure the efficiency of oil production in these conditions, it is necessary to develop and apply clear recommendations based on the knowledge of the laws of these characteristics degradation. To determine the laws of ESP degradation characteristics and to develop predictive analysis grounds of oil well pumping units in the complicated conditions is possible on the basis of theoretical and experimental studies, analysis of field data and data on downhole oil production equipment.

As a result of this work, the main regularities of characteristics degradation of low-and medium-rate pumping units at some oil production sites were determined. This made it possible to predictively analyze and determine the operating life-time before the parametric failure of the ESP in different operating conditions.

 

Keywords: unit of an electric-driven vane (centrifugal) pump; pump characteristic; degradation of the characteristic; predictive analysis; operating life-time to failure; parametric failure.

Oil and gas production in difficult conditions remains an urgent issue, one of the solutions of which is the development of new technical solutions. In this regard, it seems promising to develop new labyrinth pumps with a hybrid rotor, characterized by a small mass of the rotor and the relative simplicity of its design. In National University of Oil and Gas "Gubkin University" the work is underway to research new labyrinth pumps. The objective of the research is to develop a new design of a high-speed labyrinth pump, capable of operation at a high concentration of solids in the flow. Using modern additive technologies and laser cutting of sheet blanks, several micromodels of new pumps with different rotor designs were manufactured. In the course of the physical experiments, their pressure characteristics were obtained and a comparison was made with the indications of a standard screw rotor. An experimental sample of a labyrinth pump with a hybrid rotor is designed and manufactured. The data obtained during its first tests confirm the prospects of the development and research of these hydraulic machines. In future, a number of studies are planned both with a laboratory experimental sample and with new micromodels, including tests at high rotor speeds and with a high concentration of solids in the flow.

 

Keywords: production in difficult conditions; labyrinth pump; hybrid rotor; additive technology; laser cutting; physical experiment; high viscosity oil; high speed pump.

The results of the work aimed at further improving bearing assemblies of rolling-cutter drill bits are presented. On the basis of the analysis of operational conditions and the main reasons for the loss of operability of bearing assemblies of rolling-cutter drill bits, a special design of bearing assemblies was developed. Equipping of rolling-cutter drill bits with bearing assemblies of this design will, on the one hand, increase the operational life of bearing assemblies and the tool in the whole by eliminating jamming of liners, and, on the other hand, by simplifying their design compared to existing serial analogues, thus reducing the cost of manufacturing of rolling-cutter drill bits.

Currently, various information technologies are used for technical preparation of production to perform design work. A system of complex automation of technological processes design (SATPD), which operates under the MS DOS OS, was developed by National University of Oil and Gas "Gubkin University" (the Department of Standardization, Certification and Quality Management of Oil and Gas Equipment Production) to improve operational capacity at the stage of technological preparation of production, which was introduced into production at various machine engineering companies an educational processes of a number of higher educational schools. The paper solves the problem of determining the ways of further development of SATPD, caused by the necessity of adapting it to the operational conditions under OC MS Windows. This problem is solved on the basis of a retrospective analysis of the accepted approaches to tools development in the SATPD previous versions. As a result of the analysis, it is decided to create a new version of SATPD based on the modular approach. As a module, the system assumes a tool (software of the module is being created by the system developers), allowing the user of the module (technologist of technological Bureau of the Department of the chief technologist) in the "dialogue" mode with the tool to hold a private description of the design problem, the result of which is the program in a specialized programming language system. The description of the module at the external and conceptual levels corresponds to the description of project tasks in the previous versions, and the software and interface of the new SATPD version is adapted to OS MS Windows. In the new version of SATPD, it was decided to develop a module that the user’s work with it in the system's technology editor will allow formation of the operations of the projected process.

The paper considers nondestructive examination in the oil and gas industry. The results of ultrasonic examination of oil and gas industry equipment carried out without paint coat removing are presented. The obtained results allow estimating the risk of error and determining its value. The received recommendations are of practical interest and relevant for the examination of welded joints having thickness of up to 8 mm with paint coating and inclined piezoelectric thickness transducers at frequency of 5,0 MHz. The authors thus recommend making sensitivity correction provided there is paint coating the value of which depends on the paint layer thickness. Recommendations are received to increase sensitivity for threshold values of paint coating thicknesses when operating at different transducer frequencies. Frequencies are identified where sensitivity correction is not required regardless of the thickness of the paint coating. Corrections are justified when measuring metal thickness through the paint layer with the help of piezoelectric thickness gauge operating on piezoelectric principle. It was proved that no correction is required when measuring wall thickness using an electromagnetic acoustic thickness gauge for δne ≤ 0,4 mm paint layer.

The paper considers an approach to the informational description of the technological preparation for the production of oil and gas industry products to solve the problems of automation of designing mechanical treatment technological operations. Formalization of tasks of technological operations designing allows breaking down the general designing tasks into separate ones as part of the formation of a technological operation and providing automation of individual local tasks. The automation problems solution is associated with the refusal to store information in the form of a database and the refusal to work with data base management systems. This approach allows reduction of software use, produced abroad, when solving problems of technologies development and technological documents formation. These approaches make it possible to reduce import dependence on foreign software and self-costs of production processes.

Separation of liquid heterogeneous systems in the oil and gas industry requires use of various types of designs of sedimentation tanks, separators, hydro-cyclones, etc. the operational principle of which is based on gravitational and centrifugal separation of inhomogeneous masses of various densities. That’s why experimental studies of intra-rotor flows have become very important at present. To provide the best hydrodynamic conditions for formation fluid separation in a hydro-cyclone and to prevent clogging of the discharge opening, an apparatus that contains only the cylindrical part of the housing is proposed. A feature of the proposed design is the fact that the optimal ratio L/D = 3...5, all other ratios available, used in the calculation of the characteristics, is equal to the ratios of characteristics in the known hydro-cyclones.

This length of the hydro-cyclone provides the conditions for the effective separation of the formation fluid and the withdrawal of the condensed fraction through the discharge opening. The obtained results of studies performed on a real product at pressure and flow rate, corresponding to the production ones, made it possible to design and manufacture an industrial sample of the apparatus. Experimental data can be used to calculate similar hydro-cyclones intended for use in other mixtures.

The paper presents the results of the research aimed at determination of the minimum required distance from the grounding electrodes axis in order to develop measures that provide limiting the negative effect of protective grounding elements on current distribution conditions in the electrochemical corrosion protection system of underground oil and gas pipelines and equipment. It is shown that the existing methods of the soils properties assessment do not take into account the actual distribution of the soils properties and also do not allow assessing the influence of their parameters heterogeneity when designing and operating anticorrosion protection systems of pipelines and related systems working in industrial sites. There are proposed mathematical expressions for determining the distance from a vertical ground electrode at which the short circuit current arising in emergency situations when draining from electrical installations ceases to affect the protected structures. To provide a certain set of typical initial data, there was obtained a nomogram, which allows determination of the current spreading zone from vertical ground electrodes during a short circuit.

The article considers a mathematical model of low-temperature separation designed to extract heavy hydrocarbons from gas. To increase the degree of recovery (increase the yield of liquid hydrocarbons) it is necessary to reduce the temperature of the processed gas. However the limiting factor for increasing the depth of cooling of the processed gas is the temperature of its hydrate formation. When the gas temperature drops to minus 10 °C a hydrate formation inhibitor – methanol – is supplied to the "protected" area (in front of the refrigeration equipment) to prevent formation of crystalline hydrates. Practical interest is to compare the results of calculating the required amount (concentration) of the hydrate inhibitor (methanol) in the treated gas to inhibit hydrate formation using various thermodynamic packages and equations of state (EOS) recommended by the mathematical simulator of chemical and technological processes Aspen HYSYS: Peng – Robinson, Soav – Redlich – Kwong and CPA. In order to ensure the safe operation of the entire unit, special attention is paid to the determination of methanol removal from the gas, hydrocarbon and water phases using the above mentioned thermodynamic packages.

 

Keywords: mathematical simulation; Aspen HYSYS; recovery rate; chemical processing systems; equation of state; low-temperature separation; gas hydrates; hydrate formation temperature; phase equilibrium; methanol.
