Criterial characteristics of the operational impact of the gas pipeline on geocriological parameters

Abstract

Ensuring the reliability of operation of main gas pipelines from the moment of their construction is an important problem, which is associated with emergency situations on highways and failures in their operation. Such situations lead not only to large economic losses, but also to large-scale environmental consequences. The solution to the problem is the correct formulation of the problem, which consists in quantifying the main pipelines and monitoring the territory in which they are located. Monitoring of the territory includes the study of natural and climatic conditions. Using the data obtained, it is possible to determine the operating standards for linear highways. Because of the spread of permafrost on it, the territory of the Far North is the most vulnerable than other territories with hydrocarbon deposits. The condition of the pipeline decreases every year, so their resource is not eternal. It leads to the risk of accidents. The largest number of gas fields and linear pipelines are located in areas with unstable soils, heaving mounds, and permafrost. It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive monitoring of the territory, engineering surveys, construction and operation of gas facilities in order to the design, construct and operate such facilities effectively.
