Abstract


This article is aimed at defining and studying the ways to create new methods for determining reliability indicators (RIs) of oil and gas equipment and improving the existing ones. The currently used method for determining RIs in oil and gas industries is analysed. The most appropriate technique for monitoring the reliability of process facilities, adapting to the type of equipment considered, is discussed in detail. Various methods and options for improving such a technique are developed. The application of the obtained methodology results in information on the technical condition of the monitored facility and assistance in determining the timing and degree of technical intervention, which allows enhancing the operational efficiency and, consequently, increasing the service life of oil and gas equipment. The proposed method was approved in practice using a centrifugal pumping unit, resulting in the most effective proposals for improvement, and testing the feasibility of its implementation at oil and gas enterprises.
