Derivation of the formulas for prediction of ruptures at high-pressure conduits in fields of Western Siberia

Oil Industry Journal  № 02/2014 has published an article by V.N. Semenov (Giprotymenneftegaz, HMS Group) on Derivation of the formulas for prediction of ruptures at high-pressure conduits in fields of Western Siberia.

The derivation of empirical formulas for prediction of the number of annual ruptures due to internal corrosion at high pressure conduits without inner coating is given. Formulas are obtained by mathematical processing of a large array of field data on actual ruptures for a long time in fields of Western Siberia. The results obtained are designed to develop sections on corrosion protection as part of projects on fields construction, as well as for practical use at conduits operation.
