Possible scenarios of accidents in reservoirs and pipelines at low operating temperature

详细

Oil and gas facilities—reservoirs, gas pipelines, oil pipelines—belong to industrial facilities of high risk. Uncontrolled development of accident scenarios at oil and gas facilities associated with explosions and fire may lead to significant damages and human casualties. This article presents possible scenarios of occurrence, development, and probability of realization of accidents at oil and gas facilities operated in extreme natural and climatic conditions of the North. Measures aimed at reducing the hazards are suggested.
