ABSTRACT
The paper is devoted to the operational issues of the use of drag reducing agents (DRA) for pumping oil and oil products through main pipelines. The peculiarity of DRAs is that when they are introduced into the liquid flow, they do not begin to act immediately, but at some distance from the place of their entry (activation interval), and after reaching maximum efficiency, they gradually worsen their effect, breaking down in a turbulent flow (degradation interval). To identify the intensity of these processes, the previously proposed method for modeling the kinetics of the activation and degradation of DRAs is developed using universal coefficients that do not depend on pipeline parameters and pumping modes. The concept of «current concentration» is introduced and used, for which the proposed models give a distribution along the length of the pipeline. Together with the hydraulic efficiency of the DRA as a function of the concentration determined in the course of bench tests, these distributions make it possible to calculate the hydraulic efficiency in each section of the pipeline.
KEYWORDS: drag reducing agent, concentration, drag reducing efficiency, activation, degradation, activation process kinetics, degradation process kinetics, model, equation solution.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness of the coupled smoothed particle hydrodynamics and finite element method (SPH-FEM) in fluid modeling. In order to determine its advantages and disadvantages, the simulation is also carried out by the linear spectral method using FLUID80 elements. A double-walled 160,000 m3 liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank is used as the investigated geometry. Fluid simulation with SPH particles showed more realistic results in the analysis, as well as the dynamic method in general, as modeling with the linear-spectral method and FLUID80 elements involves a lot of simplifications and assumptions.
KEYWORDS: liquefied natural gas, SPH, finite element method, seismic analysis, linear spectral method, dynamic analysis method, ANSYS, LS-DYNA.

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 deposits formation. In the second part of the study, the authors created a number of models of field and main oil pipelines of various diameters, within which the influence of the route relief, type of laying and alternative oil composition, lower in density and molar mass, on the distribution of deposits along the length of the pipeline was studied. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the creation of an internal layer of asphalts, resins, and paraffins deposits uniformly distributed along the length is potentially technically possible and makes sense only on main oil pipelines. The results obtained can be used at the stage of designing oil major pipelines to assess the most efficient option for the route of individual sections from an economic point of view.
KEYWORDS: main oil pipeline, oil, paraffinization, asphalts, resins, and paraffins formation, modeling.

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 deposits formation. In the third part of the study, the authors developed models of major oil pipelines of various diameters, taking into account the inner layer of asphalts, resins, and paraffins deposits that is evenly distributed along the length, the formation of which occurs during the operation of pipelines. The simulation results confirm the assumption made by the authors about reducing the fuel costs for the operation of tube furnaces, designed to heat oil in the sections of the oil pipeline between pumping stations and, as a result, reducing the cost of pumping oil.

ABSTRACT
The article proposes the use of a mobile unit for introducing PT FLYDE anti-turbulence additives (ATA) manufactured by Transneft Sintez LLC into one of the parallel lines of main oil and oil product pipelines during scheduled repair work (SWR) at a disconnected section in order to maintain planned volumes pumping within the process area. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the feasibility of using a mobile installation for the introduction of anti-tank agents when performing a SWR on parallel sections of pipelines. The section of the pipeline parallel to the disconnected one becomes limiting in terms of throughput, while the volume of product pumping decreases, therefore, tariff revenue decreases. In order to maintain the planned capacity and the amount of tariff revenue, it is proposed to introduce ATA using a mobile unit to the limiting pumping section, parallel to the repair one. The economic efficiency of using a mobile unit consists of preventing a decrease in the tariff revenue from pumping the product, taking into account the cost of the additive and depreciation. An analytical description of the dependence of the hydraulic efficiency of the additives used in the work on concentration is presented. The costs of introducing a mobile installation in the first year of its use are presented, as well as an approximate period for the implementation of the proposed installation.
KEYWORDS: pipeline transport of oil and oil products, main pipeline, looping, scheduled maintenance, anti-turbulence additive, hydraulic resistance coefficient, economic efficiency.

This proposal will ensure the operational reliability of the gas distribution station in frozen ground conditions. To assess the possibility of using the proposed foundation frame as a supporting structure for technological blocks of newly constructed gas distribution stations, modeling of this type of foundation was performed with the selection of the optimal dimensions and cross sections of the bearing elements of the foundation frame.

ABSTRACT
For the first time, the gravimetric method was used to study the efficiency of the inhibitor IB-1 in relation to hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and, simultaneously, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide corrosion of St3 steel in model reservoir water MI. In tests conducted to check the ability of the inhibitor to protect against gas corrosion, plates made of St3 steel were used. Thus, depending on the aggressiveness of the medium, the protective effectiveness of the inhibitor in various gas compositions was determined.In the course of experimental studies carried out at different concentrations of the inhibitor, it was found that the protection efficiency of the IB-1 inhibitor reaches its maximum in an aggressive environment with various gas mixtures.
KEYWORDS: hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, inhibitor, corrosion, protective effect, gravimetric method.
