SOLUTIONS FOR THE SYSTEM RELIABILITY OF FIELD FACILITIES OF WEST SIBERIAN OIL FIELDS

Abstract

The issue of reliability assurance while constructing the oil field facilities by the example of West Siberian oil fields is considered. In particular, attention is paid to the problems that arise during the stage of mechanized crude oil production in case of high water cut of well produce, in severe natural and climatic conditions areas. The whole field development technological chain from the stage of crude oil production to the stage of crude-oil gathering and transportation was analyzed. For every stage the major factors, decreasing the system reliability, were determined and the suggestions for the elimination of these factors or reducing their negative influence were made. A number of possible measures for improvement field facilities construction reliability and profitability are indicated.
