» Management system of the technical condition and integrity of gas transmission network facilities of Gazprom PJSC

Gazprom PJSC has been developing and implementing a modern technical condition and integrity management system (TCIMS) of gas transmission network (GTS) facilities since 2009. The use of the TCIMS for the linear part of main pipelines (LPMP), whose methodological framework consists of calculation forecasting mathematical models of technical condition, reliability and technology-related risk which enables one to centrally create long-term programs on diagnostics and repair of pipelines that ensure reliable and safe operation of the GTS, has been implemented on a commercial scale since 2014. The article presents the main provisions and methodological solutions of the developed TCIMS, the peculiarities of the most labor-intensive process of initial data collection required for the calculation of technology-related risk indexes. The life style stages of the main result of the TCIMS – long-term CIMS LPMP programs (Programs) with a more detailed description of their creation and modeling of scenarios of achieving the target values of technical condition and integrity indexes, are reviewed. The current results of the implementation of the CIMS methodology at GTS’s facilities at Gazprom PJSC and further actions on the development and enhancement of the TCIMS, are demonstrated.

» Increasing the energy efficiency of gas transportation as exemplified by export corridors

Pursuant to the Energy Strategy of Russia for the period until 2030 and Federal Law as of November 23, 2009 No. 261-FZ “On Energy Saving and Increasing Energy Efficiency and Making Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”, Gazprom PJSC’s priority is the implementation of high-efficiency energy saving projects that ensure the increase of energy resource transport efficiency via export corridors of the Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS) of Russia to the European Union’s consumers. An important aspect of this activity is the establishment and assessment of the carbon foot print level. The articles presents a methodology to assess the performance efficiency of export corridors of the UGSS of Russia, and based upon this methodology, we have received practical results that evidence a decline in the gas flow rate with regard to in-house process needs of the analyzed corridors by 3.4 per annum and that confirm that the carbon foot print at the modern stage of the gas transport network is comparable with European systems.
