ABSTRACT
A method Real Time Flow Speed (RTFS) for detecting leaks in pipelines is proposed. The method is based on mathematical calculation of flow velocities in the pipe segments between pressure sensors. The article presented the results of numerical experiments which were carried out on a stationary mode with a noticeable rattling of pressure.Leaks less than 0.1% of the pumping volume and a development time of 20” were set. It is shown that the RTFS method makes possible to detect pressure drop waves even for relatively small and slow leaks and distinguish them from external waves to prevent false leak alarms.
KEYWORDS: Leak detection system in pipelines, RTFS method, RTT method, NPW method, numerical experiments, mathematical model.

ABSTRACT
The object of the study is the process of waxing of main and field oil pipelines in Russia, the operation of which is complicated by the precipitation of asphalts, resins, and paraffins formation. In the first part of the study, the authors, based on the experience of creating universal mathematical models, created a number of models with different concentrations of paraffin in the OLGA software package, derived local empirical dependencies for calculating the key parameters of waxing depending on the service life. The results obtained indicate the possibility of using empirical formulas to assess the state of an oil pipeline in the case of a long interval between the passages of treatment devices, and also confirm the idea of the thermal insulation properties of asphalts, resins, and paraffins formation.
KEYWORDS: main oil pipeline, oil, paraffinization, asphalts, resins, and paraffins formation, modeling.

ABSTRACT
A mathematical model has been proposed to describe the operation of an air cooler (AC) in a compressor station (CS) system, which could allow control of the operation of the AC to reduce energy consumption. By taking the air temperature in the AC as an optimization variable, the most suitable start-up temperature of the AC at a CS can be determined to save electricity for the CS auxiliary needs.

ABSTRACT
The paper considers the problem of reducing the impact of longitudinal movements arising from temperature differential and internal pressure at the nodes of joining the linear part to the pig launchers/receivers. The normative way to deal with longitudinal movements is to use stabilizing devices, however, this solution is not scientifically justified and thus there is no possibility to apply it in a unified way. The paper considers the idea of constructing expansion joints at the nodes of pig launchers/receivers, in order to increase the stability of these nodes. By the example of the proposed design of pipe expansion joint the methodology of the calculated justification of the necessity of installing such devices to reduce longitudinal displacements is presented, the rational geometric parameters of the pipe expansion joint and its element-by-element configuration are selected. Two options for backfilling a trench with a pipe expansion joint are considered: natural backfill soil and sandy soil. The results of the calculations obtained are proposed to be implemented in the practice of designing sections of line part connection to the pig launchers/receivers and to search for unified solutions.
KEYWORDS: pipeline, stability, longitudinal deformations, pigs and diagnostic equipment, insulating monolithic joint, electrical insulating joint.

ABSTRACT
This study examines the possibility of using artificial neural networks to automate processes, equipment, and devices of the oil and gas industry using sensors to collect and track information. This paper aims to study and analyze modern intelligent automation of processes based on artificial neural networks and the use of telecommunications to collect data for autonomous control. An urgent problem in the oil and gas sector is the use of outdated methods of classical process automation. This issue stems from the lack of opportunities to make forecasts and assess risks related to the state of operational equipment in the field conditions of oil deposits. The scientific novelty of the research is a developed software model based on simulations to display the differences between conventional and modern automation in the technological processes of the oil industry and production processes that involve machine learning and telemechanics.
KEYWORDS: technological process, neural networks, petroleum products, equipment, forecasting, command and control processes, modern automation.

ABSTRACT
Reducing losses with leaks in gas distribution networks is an im-portant task aimed at saving energy resources and improving the environmen-tal situation in the region, since methane, which makes up the main part of natural gas, is a greenhouse gas. The main sources of leaks are gas reduction points, in which leaks occur in detachable joints, valve leaks, threaded connec-tions and other leaky connections. The article presents studies on losses in gas distribution networks, ways to control and combat leaks aimed at reducing non-returnable losses of natural gas and improving the environmental situa-tion. A SWOT analysis model is proposed to improve the efficiency of a gas distribution organization in determining gas losses in gas distribution net-works.
KEYWORDS: natural gas losses, gas leakage, ecology, methane, greenhouse gas, leak control, detachable connections.
