  ABSTRACT

 The purpose of the work: to improve the labyrinth compressors to increase the productivity, increase the resistance to corrosion, thereby increasing the stability index of the compressor compressor node, and reducing the compressor interstage pressure to atmospheric pressure, in order to reduce the pressure acting on the compressor. Object of the work: Improvement of piston compressor connectors.

For this, let's examine the use of different types of compressors in a piston compressor:

One of the most common problems in production is the problem of malfunctioning of piston compressors. This affects the productivity of the compressor. In order to increase the productivity of piston compressors, different types of compressors are used: rubber compressors, cuff, graphite, face compressors.

To overcome this problem, it is appropriate to use a new type of labyrinth connectors. Thus, unlike ordinary graphite capacitors, labyrinth capacitors are distinguished by their long-term use, easier installation and, most importantly, more stability. Simple graphite-type coils cause some problems during installation. The main one is the problem of creating a complete mold. Labyrinth coils are easier to install than these coils and the mold is fully ensured. If there is any release during the process, as a result of the pressure difference between the labyrinths, the pressure of the product coming out of the last labyrinth is equal to atm pressure.

Taking into account the above, we see that the use of labyrinth clamps is suitable for increasing productivity during the operation of compressors, for eliminating out-of-order discharges and for solving the problems of fully ensuring the running time of the compressor.

Keywords: piston compressors, labyrinth sealers, graphite, rubber, cuff, surface sealers, productivity, seal knot.

 ABSTRACT

 When drilling wells in a productive formation being penetrated, hydrostatic bottomhole pressure when it rises above the formation pressure may cause absorption of the drilling fluid by the formation, and when the formation pressure rises above the bottomhole pressure created by the mud column, then fluids enter the well and this can create a blowout, i.e. a manifestation; and absorption and manifestation are accidents.

Losses of the solution result in a decrease in hydrostatic pressure on the well wall in the upper part of the well body, cleaning occurs and favorable business is formed, including the violation of the zone around the well body; which lead to the extraction of the drilling tool and its sticking; therefore, in order to eliminate loss, it is necessary to reduce the density of the drilling fluid, if possible, and increase the value of the structural viscosity. Most accidents occur when drilling clayey rocks.

To reduce the adhesion of clay cake on the well wall, special chemicals are added to the solution: CMAD-1, graphite, oil, sulfonol, OП-10, CAM, soapstock tar (ST).

The narrowing of the well body occurs as a result of swelling of the clay layers.

To prevent complications and accidents associated with the drill string, they are systematically pressure tested. Test pressure values for different depths are shown.

To eliminate accidents associated with the drill bit, it cannot be kept at the bottom of the well for a long time.

The article presents the formulas:

- to determine the maximum speed of descent of the drilling tool.

- to determine the density of the solution.

- to determine the minimum stock of drilling fluid

The wellhead is equipped with appropriate preventers [1].

Keywords: ram preventer, complications, accident, catastrophe, mud losses, blowout, development, drilling mud, crust clay, structural viscosity, shear stresses.

 ABSTRACT

 This paper provides a comprehensive review of literature, research studies, and industry standards relevant to elastomer seal assemblies used in the oil and gas wells. For ensuring well integrity, elastomer seal assemblies are essential parts. Rubber chemistry and technology were important in the pressure and flow management of hydrocarbons from petroleum reservoirs even before Spindletop "gushered" in the big Texas oil explotion in 1901. Rubber continues to play an important part in the oil business, where the cost of constructing an oil or gas well might surpass a billion dollars. Practically all downhole drilling and completion equipment now relies on elastomers and other sealing materials to guarantee consistent, dependable performance throughout service. Research indicates that seal failure may result in blowouts and oil spills, which may have an adverse impact on health, safety, and the environment. Improvements in elastomer seal design and qualification are required, particularly for high pressure and high temperature applications, according to regulators and the industry. In relation to the elastomer seal assemblies used in oil and gas wells, this study presents an extensive assessment of the literature, research studies, and industry standards. The purpose of the paper is to look into seal assembly performance-influencing factors and failure modes. The review's main goal is to identify gaps in industry standards and suggest key areas for future study to increase seal reliability.

In terms of maximum sealing pressure, the produced analytical findings demonstrate the impact of elastomer shape and material parameters. Moreover, various strain situations are examined in order to determine how well the elastomer seals. The industry standards mostly concentrate on material testing and don't provide enough information on how to design elastomer seals at the equipment level. Processes for qualifying seals are not tailored based on the shape, size, and purpose of seal assemblies. The design of seal equipment, including the energization process, the design of the housing and supporting components, functional failures, etc., requires research that goes beyond material testing.

Furthermore, there is a critical need for trustworthy methods that can translate laboratory discoveries into field-scale applications with long service lives.

Key words: Elastomer Seal, Seal evaluation, Industry standards, Well barriers, Well integrity, Seal failure.

ABSTRACT

 The development of modern technology and the long-term processing of materials and constructions used in high temperature conditions make great demands. It is very important to obtain hard-melting metals that meet these requirements. In nature, the scarcity of hard-to-melt metals and their high cost force us to find other more efficient ways. One such solution is the application of hard- -melt metals in the form of thin layers or coatings on metals or structures. For to this purpose, carbonyl compounds of hard-to-melt metals are widely used in technology recently. Carbonyl compounds have important properties, one of which is that they act as raw materials for obtaining coatings and layers through thermal decomposition. However, some difficulties arise in obtaining chromium coatings based on chromium carbonyl complexes with organic ligands. In order to overcome such difficulties, the synthesis methodology of two chromium-based complex compounds with easy volatility and low decomposition temperature, which are used in the production of corrosion-resistant coatings, and the temperature range in their decomposition limits, physical chemical structure parameters have been determined. The research found that both chromium carbonyl complexes obtained by synthesis form chromium coatings with high adhesion on the metal carrier and increase their corrosion resistance. Chromium carbonyl complexes can serve as technologically favorable raw materials for obtaining the necessary chromium coating during the decomposition of  groups at a very low temperature range (100-150 C) without creating additional pressure. Both synthesized complex compounds are raw materials for obtaining corrosion-resistant coatings on weld seams of 09Г2С steel. The use of these complexes as active fillers in abrasive metallurgy has also been determined.

Keywords: Chromium, solvent, toluene, mesethylene, infrared spectrum, chromium carbonyl, complex, melting, decomposition, coating, heating, solution.

 ABSTRACT

 Oilfield pumps occupy a special place in the structure of the complex of equipment used in the drilling of oil and gas wells. It is established that the plunger-bushing assembly is the most vulnerable pair and the failure rate of the pump is largely determined by the failure of this particular node. In order to improve the efficiency and service life of the pump, it is proposed to process the inner surface of the bushings on a laser installation with Cu, Fe, Al nanoparticles. Based on numerous experimental studies, the optimal number of nanoparticles and the technological mode of their application are proposed. It is established that with a decrease in the size of nanoparticles, the hardness of the hardening surface increases many times. This can be explained by the fact that the deformation of the material is caused by the movement of dislocations, while its intergranular boundaries act as a surface against the movement of dislocations.

Keywords: Plunger-bushing pair, nanoparticle, deformation, surface hardening.
