FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION AT GAS TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE BOVANENKOVSKOYE OIL AND GAS CONDENSATE FIELD
M.N. Bazhenov – doctoral candidate, Department of Offshore Oil and Gas Field Development, the Gubkin University of Oil and Gas, and deputy head of Firefighting Department and New Equipment, LLC “Gazprom Gazobezopasnost”
УДК 622.691.12, 622.691.4, 622.691.2
Key words: fire and explosion safety, gas transportation, optimal gas transportation scheme, automatic gas fire-extinguishing systems.схема транспортировки газа, автоматические установки газового пожаротушения.
Transportation of gas from the Bovanenkovskoye field to the unified gas supply system requires a solution that would be optimal from the point of view of both investments and gas transportation safety, the technical condition of the existing gas transportation systems should also be taken into account as well as environmental and engineering studies with regard to gas pipeline construction and operation, etc. Development of comprehensive gas pipeline fire protection solutions during the detailed design process based on computer simulation of incidents, design concepts and calculations will allow to mitigate the risk of fire accidents, reduce direct and consequential losses due to possible fires, including damage to buildings and structures of a gas transportation system.
