Abstract: The invention relates to pipeline transportation. Technical result is represented by simplicity of implementation and increase in efficiency of monitoring of moisture content and pressure in pipeline hollows. Installation indicating cartridge filled with silica gel that allows for visual inspection of its indication, the latter is installed on the pipeline while gas circulation between the pipeline and cartridge is provided. Pressure gauge is connected to the indicating cartridge, and the latter is purged with gas from the pipeline. Value of pressure in the pipeline is determined, and in case obtained results deviate from the specified value, a conclusion on the pipeline depressurization is made. Change of moisture content of gas in the pipeline is determined by indicating cartridge color change.

Abstract: A method for improving the stability of reservoir rock in bottomhole zones of wells to destructive loads developing during operation of wells at oil and gas fields during operation at underground gas storages is disclosed. Prior to running of casing string in zone of contact of productive formation with its impenetrable roof it is proposed to drill or blur cone-shaped cavern with vertex facing the formation, the cavity parameters must satisfy the conditions according to the depth of the cavity counted from the well wall along the contact line of the productive formation and its impermeable roof should exceed 4 cm, and the angle between the cone generatrix and the casing pipe generatrix within the range of values from 5° up to 30°. This will increase well bottomhole zone stability to destructive loads developing in process of its operation and reduction of volumes of broken rock carried to well bore.

Abstract: The present invention relates to units for separation of gas mixtures using hollow fiber membranes and may be used in chemical, oil, gas and other industries. More specifically, this invention relates to the structure of the membrane gas separation module which may be applied, for instance, in membrane separation units for helium concentrate. The membrane gas separation module comprises the horizontal body with end covers and membrane cartridges made of a bundle of hollow fibers and located in an inversed manner in relation to the center. The body comprises symmetrical end sections of large diameter which are mated by conical transition sections with the central section of minor diameter. In this case length of end sections corresponds with length restricted by the body end and input area of membrane cartridges, and central section inner diameter is configured to provide both free mounting/dismounting of membrane cartridges and tight fit thereof at the sealing point with ring gaskets.

Abstract: Pipeline transport of hydrocarbons detect the moisture accumulation location along the pipeline and increase effectiveness of the drying process. Drying air moisture content reduction is obtained by the installing additional intermediate air drying devices in by-pass lines at block valve station along the pipeline to be dried. Purging is proceeded until normalized dew point temperature value of the outcoming air being achieved. Purging is interrupted for 12 hours or more, both upstream and downstream ends of pipeline leaving hermetically closed, and resumed with intermediate air drying devices disabled, continuously measuring the moisture content of the outcoming drying air, fixing the moment when the moisture accumulation in the surrounding air.
