Development of the electronic catalogue on performance characteristics of technological equipment of underground gas storage facilities

<ns3:p>The aim of the work is to develop software for digitising nomograms of production parameters of wells, technological equipment of underground gas storage (UGS) facilities, and the creation of electronic catalogues for storage and operational use in solving various problems.The paper analyses the existing downhole and separation equipment installed at UGS facilities. An electronic catalogue of equipment performance characteristics was created. The information on the characteristics of the X-mas tree of the well, column heads, tubing, flowlines, vertical and horizontal separators, dust collectors and absorbers was systematised. Industrial studies were conducted to measure the volume of transported gas and liquid contaminants coming with the gas flow from wells. The software has been developed to digitise nomograms of productive parameters of wells and UGS facilities and create an electronic catalogue of their productive characteristics. The developed electronic catalogue has a user-friendly interface that allows the user to decide on the optimal UGS operation mode quickly.Based on the results of the work carried out, the user gets an opportunity to digitise and create electronic catalogues of performance characteristics of all technological equipment of the gas storage facility, which will allow the use of performance indicators when determining the technological modes of the UGS facility.In order to improve the efficiency of UGS operation, it is advisable to introduce modern approaches to timely analysis and forecasting of UGS process equipment operation using information technologies, in particular, the development and implementation of electronic catalogues of digitised information.Thanks to the developed software, it is possible to quickly find the necessary information in the electronic catalogue, as opposed to a traditional paper archive, which will allow faster and more accurate forecasting of UGS operation modes and operational work.It is proposed that software be developed to form an electronic catalogue of performance characteristics of downhole and separation equipment. The use of this approach generally ensures the efficiency of analysis of UGS regimes and timely action.</ns3:p>
