In this paper the process of gas-lift in the oil production is considered. In this process the motions of gas and gas-liquid mixture (GLM) are described by the system of partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. Applying lines method the system of partial differential equations of hyperbolic type is reduced to the system of ordinary differential equations with respect to the volumes of gas, GLM and their pressures. Applying least-squares method, the coefficient of hydraulic resistance (CHR) is obtained on different areas of pump-compressor pipes. On the concrete example the adequacy of the mathematical model is shown.
Keywords: Gas lift; gas-liquid mixture; identification; algebraic equations; coefficient of hydraulic resistance; least-squares method.

Process flows, both at the well bottom and at the wellhead, usually contain mechanical impurities, which, when collected in the equipment, accumulate at the bottom of the vessels, thereby creating oil sludge. The growth of the sludge layer leads to problems in the efficiency of operation of the equipment due to volume loss, narrowing of the diameter of the pipelines at the outlet, in sumps, tanks and separators, which ultimately reduces the turnaround period of the equipment. To increase the turnaround time of oil and gas separators, improve product separation, and solve problems of reducing base sediments, an improved design of a vertical oil and gas separator has been developed. The developed design of the oil and gas separator solves the main tasks of improving the quality of gas separation from condensate vapor and phase separation from the supplied liquid, as well as cleaning the separator from accumulated base sediments.
Keywords: Gas-liquid vertical separator; design; oil gathering and processing; mechanical impurities; oil emulsion; turnaround time.

Studying the applicability of acid treatment in conglomerate reservoir
Nowadays, the acid treatment is became one of the widely used and most effective methods of well treatment methods to increase or revive the productivity of wells. However, the most important and crucial step in the planning this technology is the correct selection of acid composition. The success of the acid treatment in terrigenous reservoir depends on the compatibility of the selected acid composition and the mineralogy of porous media, since the chemical reaction underlying the acidic treatment is a key factor in this wellwork. Nevertheless, the accumulated field experience indicates an insufficient degree of elaboration of this issue. Often, the selection of the required acid composition is carried out without sufficient scientific and methodological substantiation. Particularly, when choosing an acid composition the mineralogy of the target interval is not taken into account. Also, an important factor is the previously undertaken activities in the wells, such as fracking jobs, as the acid resistance of the proppant must also be taken into account. All types of proppant are generally chemically stable and do not react with fracturing or formation fluids. However, some types of acids under formation conditions can damage proppant integrity and negatively affect fracture conductivity. All these factors need to be considered when choosing an acidic composition, planning the wellwork as a whole.
Keywords: Conglomerate deposits; acid treatment in terrigenous reservoirs; mineral composition of porous media; effect of acid compositions on proppant.

Spectral methods of analysis capabilities for investigation of the composition of oil sludges
Oil sludge is a complex organic mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon parts. In present work the elemental composition of the oil refinery sludge was studied by the modern analysis methods - chromatography, infrared and X-ray fluorescence. The mixture of oil sludge mainly composed of hydrocarbon part (80%), gum (40%), paraffinic-naphthenic (18%) and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons (16%). The results were confirmed by the spectra. It was determined, that the part of non-hydrocarbon oil sludge includes heteroatoms (O, S, N, P), as well as metals (Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, K, Ba, Cu, Zn). X-ray fluorescence analysis method confirmed the results of the statistical processing.

Protection of Overland Lines of Communication and Equipment Against Harmful Sand Effects
The article deals with the problems of ensuring the safe operation of wells in conditions of intense sand ingress. The results of the analysis of deposition of solids contained in the reservoir fluids flow during movement through an infield pipeline are presented. It was found that most of the solids settle in the infield pipeline, prior to the point of collection and treatment of products. A device for sand settling has been developed to clean the produced oil from sand particles and mechanical impurities directly in the infield pipeline prior to the oil collection and treatment point. The proposed device ensures the continuity during fluid flow, and provides conditions for multiple separations, as well as for finer and more complete and better cleaning of the fluid entering the device from larger, medium and small sand particles and solids. The results of field tests of the device for sand settling confirmed its high performance.

The results of field observations and analysis of field information indicate the effects of the theoretical pump performance on production performance. With an increase in theoretical productivity, the flow rate of the liquid will increase, as well as the amount of mechanical impurities. To solve this problem, a regular system analysis is needed, on the basis of which it will be possible to evaluate the productive efficiency of the pump and obtain reliable forecasts of the considered indicators. All studies and calculations were carried out on the basis of the actual ranges of changes in the values of the production data of the Absheronneft management. The simplicity and the absence of the need for additional field activities, makes it possible to apply the above approach to solving the problems of efficient use of the well stock operated by deep-well sucker-rod pumps in long-developed fields.

The main causes of corrosion of oilfield equipment and facilities «Neft Dashlary» and «May 28» OGPD SOCAR are identified. The main way to protect oilfield equipment is to use corrosion inhibitors. Based on the condensation products of aminoethylethanolamine and fatty acids, a universal biocide-inhibitor has been developed to prevent corrosion. By the method of gravimetric tests it have been studied the inhibitory properties of the developed new inhibitory composition against the corrosion of steel in hydrogen sulfide media of various compositions simulating formation water of oil fields, and the biocide efficiency against sulfate-reducing bacteria. The developed inhibitor is recommended for the application of corrosion protection of downhole equipment, pipelines of reservoir pressure maintenance systems and oil transportation.
Keywords: Corrsion; biocide-inhibitor; sulfate-reducing bacteria; imidazoline.

Calculation-experimental evaluation of austenic steel mechanical properties variation in operation
It is specified in the work that the equipment of oil and gas technologies operates in the wide range of temperature variation. The complex flow dynamics of hightemperature flows in the equipment designed for processing of raw hydrocarbons results in the fact that the temperature varies unevenly in the course of time and in the local zones the temperature difference can reach 200 degrees. In order to predict the equipment life it is necessary to know how the mechanical properties change due to temperature and operating time. The concept of calculating and experimental evaluation of mechanical properties' changes was developed. In order to test the calculating and experimental method we have carried out a set of studies that covers the determination of the mechanical properties of steel 10X23H18 during delivery and at different running hours in the reaction furnace. Calculating and experimental data found good agreement while determination of mechanical properties' values. Time dependencies require the introduction of an adjustment factor into the design equations. It is required for control of changes in the structure of the construction material under the operating conditions. It is necessary to carry out the labourconsuming tests connected with the metal selection from the operating facilities in order to determine the adjustment factors for different groups of steel. The authors recommend together with the preparation of reference data to improve the methods of monitoring and diagnostics of hazardous facilities.
Keywords: Reaction furnaces; stress-strain state; strength; limit state.
