Features of West Siberia field pipe-lines technical conditions examination
It is noted, that for examination of West Siberia oil pipe-lines, laid down under conditions of harsh continental climate and swampy grounds, accounting for pipe-line loading history is of most importance. Two examples of accounting for loading history are given: for determination of influence of each possible cause of loading and for conducting of conservative evaluation. Presented are results of bends measurements and their calculated values, and, also, results of pipelines bending stress calculations.
