Technological pipelines of compressor stations are one of the significant types of basic equipment that ensures uninterrupted operation during gas transportation. In this article, we paid special attention to the issue of safe operation of the pipeline strapping of the gas treatment plant for transportation, which is designed to dry gas to the required parameters required by consumers and is one of the main technological units of the compressor station. During the operation of the adsorber lines with "hot" and "cold" gases, the pipelines of the regeneration line are subjected to high variable temperature loads. Thus, the operating organization faces the problem of ensuring sufficient compensation for the linear expansion of technological pipelines during their periodic heating. The calculation of the service life of the piping and its stability with a matched axial bellows compensator has been performed. Various solutions to the reliability problems of these compressor station components are considered and analyzed. It is concluded that it is necessary to update the regulatory design framework and introduce continuous technical monitoring methods into the operated facilities.

Reliable and safe operation of oil and gas pipelines in the conditions of the Far North and Siberia is an urgent task facing the Russian Federation. It has the most important economic and strategic importance. The climatic and geological conditions of these regions suggest a high degree of risk associated largely with seasonal temperature fluctuations and oil pumping technologies, leading to freezing or thawing of the soil, the appearance of thawed permafrost waters. The purpose of our study was to analyze the influence of extreme natural and operational conditions on the design and spatial position of pipelines during the operation of the section of the CPS-2 - NPS Urengoyskaya highway. It was found out that the studied section of the oil pipeline has a predisposition to failures due to unfavorable conditions: meltwater, heaving soils, swampy territory. Technological calculations allowed us to conclude that at this stage the pipeline route meets all the conditions of strength and stability, i.e. the reliability of the pipeline is ensured.

The problem of ensuring trouble-free operation of field pipelines is becoming more and more urgent from year to year. The development of deposits in areas with difficult natural and climatic conditions (the Far North, Western Siberia) requires a new approach to improving the reliability of pipeline systems. Along with the search for new technologies in construction and operation, the use of modern composite materials in the production of pipes is a primary task. Analysis of the causes of failures of field pipelines in the permafrost zone allowed us to identify the main ones: corrosion, water hammer, loss of stability as a result of frost heaving of soils. Comparative calculations of steel and fiberglass pipelines allow us to recommend the latter as an alternative to metal pipelines, because they have better corrosion and abrasive resistance, low roughness and thermal conductivity, high ductility and manufacturability.

A huge part of the territory of Russia is located in the permafrost zone. Ensuring the reliability of pipeline systems transporting hydrocarbons in these conditions requires an integrated approach that takes into account the structure of the soil, the peculiarities of construction methods, the temperature characteristics of the soil and the transported products. Evaluation of the interaction of the pipeline with frozen ground is an important factor in the design. And the justification of the choice of an engineering solution for the construction of pipeline systems, ensuring their stable position, is one of the tasks of our research. The gas pipeline at the Kamennomysskoye-Sea field is considered as an object of research. A brief description of the features of the construction area is given. A strength calculation was performed, on the basis of which the design parameters of the pipeline were adopted. A comparative analysis of the ways of laying the pipeline was carried out, which made it possible to identify the most satisfying conditions of reliability and economic efficiency.

The seismic activity of the zones through which the pipelines are laid has always caused serious concern. The analysis of emergency situations on pipeline systems caused by an earthquake revealed factors affecting their stability: longitudinal and transverse displacement of the soil, the effect of soil liquefaction, faults resulting in open cracks and shear deformations. To prevent damage to pipelines during seismic impact, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the impact on the pipeline structure, the required level of safety for this seismic impact. Currently, special attention is paid to structural solutions and materials from which pipelines are made. The conducted studies allow us to form an approach to assessing the operability of polyethylene and steel pipelines in earthquake-prone areas, and on the basis of a comparative analysis of their stability, to make recommendations on the use of pipelines under specified conditions.

During operation, the pipeline is threatened by various geological hazards, especially in regions with permafrost, where freeze-thaw disasters have a significant impact on the integrity and safety of oil and gas pipelines. Therefore, at the design and construction stage, it is advisable to analyze various methods of laying pipelines, taking into account the topographic environmental conditions, as well as the effect of frost rise and thaw on the soil of the pipeline foundation. An analysis of the existing design schemes for the construction of pipelines, the conditions for passing the route of the projected pipeline, the characteristics of the pumped hydrocarbons makes it possible to justify the choice of a construction method that can ensure the stable position of the oil and gas pipeline both during the construction period and during its operation.

Geotechnical input to the design, construction, and operations of pipelines in permafrost may differ significantly from that for pipelines in temperate terrain. The general remoteness and terrain fragility of permafrost regions are key issues that challenge the geotechnical input. Specific geotechnical issues that necessitate input include pipeline routing, slope stability, thaw settlement and frost heave, ditching, buoyancy control, upheaval buckling. and others. It is necessary to develop and implement new technological solutions, taking into account long-term forecasts of the temperature conditions of the soil bases, which should be able to prevent or compensate for the negative impact of heat for all pipelines laid in permafrost conditions.
