Universities as regional leaders for sustainable energy and climate EU-harmonized policies Maksym Karpash, Liubomyr Zhovtulia, Andriy Yavorskiy, Ihor Rybitskiy, Vitalii Tsykh, Oleg Karpash Transformations of National Economies Under Conditions of Instability, 2024 Transformations of national economies under conditions of instabilityEuropean Green Deal envisages a wide range of goals and milestones to provide a policy framework to integrate innovative, educational, and institutional components of the input from higher educational institutions toward a green transition of their regions and countries. Since, at the initial European Commission level, the role of the university sector was not fully formulated, there’s a need to create a new roadmap for their contribution. We foresee the following impact areas from the universities in the green transition of national economies: research and innovation, education, staff and infrastructure management, and public/social impact.
Numerical investigation on erosion wear and strength of main gas pipelines bends Ya.V. Doroshenko, G.М. Kogut, I.V. Rybitskyi, O.S. Tarayevs'kyy, T.Yu. Pyrig Physics and Chemistry of Solid State, 2021 The purpose of this work is to ensuring the strength of main gas pipelines bends by studying the peculiarities of single-phase and multiphase flows movement through the internal cavity, the processes of erosion wear and the wall stress state. The problem of synergistic influence of gas-dynamic processes (uneven pressure distribution in the internal cavity), temperature difference and erosion wear on the stress state of the bends of main gas pipelines was solved by numerical simulation. Based on the results of simulation the processes of bends erosion wear, an algorithm for three-dimensional simulation of bend walls erosion defects was developed. The complex three-dimensional geometric shape of the erosion defects of the bend wall varied according to the rate of erosion wear process. This algorithm made it possible to determine the regularities for the influence of the bend erosion defects magnitude on bends stress state. It was established that considering the maximum depth of bend erosion defects 9.6 mm, 10.5 mm and 11.9 mm, the equivalent stresses in the deepest places of the erosion defect were greater than on the concave side of the bend and in straight sections of the pipeline.
Developing a complex of measures for liquid removal from gas condensate wells and flowlines using surfactants V.B. Volovetskyi, Ya.V. Doroshenko, G.M. Kogut, I.V. Rybitskyi, J.I. Doroshenko, O.M. Shchyrba Archives of Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Purpose: The purpose of this work is to consider the complications that arise while operating gas condensate wells, in particular, the accumulation of hydrocarbon condensate, formation and condensation water at wells and flowlines, to develop a method for removing liquid from wells and flowlines before it entering a gas treatment unit and being treated with surfactants and to develop a method for the foam destruction in the gas-liquid flow. Design/methodology/approach: The operational parameters of gas-condensate wells of the Yuliivske oil and gas condensate field (OGCF) have been analysed. Wells have been identified that are operated in difficult conditions due to the accumulation of the liquid at the bottom hole and in flowlines. The volume of the liquid accumulated at the bottom hole of gas condensate wells is estimated. The quantity of surfactants, the volume and concentration of the solution required to remove the liquid were calculated individually for each well. The program of experimental researches has been made. The efficiency of the application of surfactant solution was experimentally determined and a positive result was achieved in the form of an increase in production by 10%. A new approach to the use of surfactant solution, as well as the foam destruction, has been proposed. The studies were performed within the framework of research and development work by the specialists of the Ukrainian Scientific Research Institute of Natural Gases. Findings: Comprehensive measures are proposed to increase the efficiency of gas condensate wells operation. They are monitoring of operational parameters of wells by pressure and temperature gauges installed at the wellhead and at the inlet gas pipelines of the gas treatment unit; calculation of the volume of accumulated fluid in the wellbore and flowline; installation of a complex of automated feeding a surfactant solution of both in the annulus of the wells and in the flowline. For this purpose, two options for the complex and arrangement are proposed. The proposed options involve the use of various equipment and have a different principle of operation. To prevent foam from entering the gas treatment unit, a method of its destruction has been proposed. The implementation of the proposed comprehensive measures will allow controlling the well operation mode, timely liquid removal from the well and the flowline and ensure stable hydrocarbon production. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results of laboratory and experimental studies have shown that using a surfactant solution is reasonable to remove the liquid from gas condensate wells. To increase the efficiency of the measure, a new method of feeding surfactant solution was developed by installing a unit for automated feeding (UAF) of a surfactant solution at the mouth. Practical implications: The results of laboratory tests allow using a surfactant solution reasonably in order to remove the liquid from gas condensate wells, as well as possible further destruction of foam in the gas-liquid flow for increasing both the efficiency of the extraction and production volume. Originality/value: On the basis of previously performed experimental research, it has been established that it is advisable to use a surfactant solution to remove the liquid from gas condensate wells and flowlines. A new method of removing liquid from gas condensate wells and flowlines has been developed, as well as a method of destroying foam in a gas-liquid flow, which are original and can be implemented.
Investigation of gas gathering pipelines operation efficiency and selection of improvement methods V.B. Volovetskyi, Ya. Doroshenko, G. Kogut, A.P. Dzhus, I.V. Rybitskyi, J.I. Doroshenko, O.M. Shchyrba Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, 2021 Purpose: The article implies theoretical and experimental studies of the liquid pollution accumulations impact on the efficiency of gathering gas pipelines operation at the Yuliivskyi oil and gas condensate production facility (OGCPF). Research of efficiency of gas pipelines cleaning by various methods. Design/methodology/approach: The research methodology consists of determining the hydraulic efficiency of gathering gas pipelines before and after cleaning of their internal cavity by different methods and comparing the obtained results, which allows to objectively evaluate the efficiency of any cleaning method. CFD simulation of gas-dynamic processes in low sections of gas pipelines with liquid contaminants. Findings: Experimental studies of cleaning efficiency in the inner cavity of the gas gathering pipelines of the Yuliivskyi OGCPF by various methods, including: supply of surfactant solution, creating a high-speed gas flow, use of foam pistons were performed. It was established that cleaning the inner cavity of gas gathering pipelines by supplying a surfactant solution leads to an increase in the coefficient of hydraulic efficiency by 2%-4.5%, creating a high-speed gas flow by 4%-7%, and under certain conditions by 8%-10 % and more. However, for two gas pipelines the use of foam pistons allowed to increase the coefficient of hydraulic efficiency from 5.7 % to 10.5 % with a multiplicity of foam from 50 to 90. be recommended for other deposits.The results of CFD simulation showed that the accumulation of liquid contaminants in the lowered sections of gas pipelines affects gas-dynamic processes and leads to pressure losses above the values provided by the technological regime. With the increase in liquid contaminants volume the pressure losses occur. Moreover, with a small amount of contamination (up to 0.006 m3), liquid contaminants do not have a significant effect on pressure loss. If the contaminants volume in the lowered section of the pipeline is greater than the specified value, the pressure loss increases by parabolic dependence. The increase in mass flow leads to an increase in the value of pressure loss at the site of liquid contamination. Moreover, the greater the mass flow, the greater the impact of its changes on the pressure loss. The CFD simulation performed made it possible not only to determine the patterns of pressure loss in places of liquid contaminants accumulation in the inner cavity of gas pipelines, but also to understand the gas-dynamic processes in such places, which is an unconditional advantage of this method over experimental. Research limitations/implications: The obtained simulation results showed that the increase in the volume of liquid contaminants in the inner cavity of gas gathering pipelines leads to an increase in pressure losses above the value provided by the technological regime. To achieve maximum cleaning of gas gathering pipelines, it is necessary to develop a new method that will combine the considered. Practical implications: The performed experimental results make it possible to take a more thorough approach to cleaning the inner cavity of gas gathering pipelines and to forecast in advance to what extent the hydraulic efficiency of gas gathering pipelines can be increased. Originality/value: The obtained results of CFD simulation of gas-dynamic processes in lowered sections of gas pipelines with liquid contaminants, experimental studies of the effectiveness of various methods of cleaning the inner cavity of gas gathering pipelines has original value.
Investigation of the influence of the gas pipeline tee geometry on hydraulic energy loss of gas pipeline systems Yaroslav Doroshenko, Ihor Rybitskyi Eastern European Journal of Enterprise Technologies, 2020 CFD simulation investigated turbulent flows in equal gas pipeline tees, in which the gas flow completely moves from the main line to the branch. The study was performed for tees of different geometry – stamped with different bending radii of the transition from the branch to the main line and weld, where the main line and branch connection is made at right angles. The outer diameter of the tees varied from 219 mm to 1,420 mm, the bending radius of the transition from the branch to the main line from the minimum permissible to the maximum possible, the pressure in the gas pipeline at the tee location from 3 MPa to 7 MPa. The mathematical model is based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy transfer equations closed by a two-parameter high-Reynolds k – e Launder-Sharma turbulence model. To describe the processes occurring at the wall, the wall function was used. It was found that the bending of the transition from the branch to the main line, the increase in the bending radius lead to a decrease in the intensity of flow separation at the bending point and a decrease in turbulence kinetic energy in recirculation areas. The velocity field of the gas flow after it moves from the main line to the branch becomes more uniform. All this greatly affects the magnitude of hydraulic energy loss of the gas flow in the tees. In this case, the greatest energy losses were observed in the tees located at the lowest pressure points in the gas pipeline system. An analysis of the results showed that if the ratio of the bending radius of the main line and branch connection to the outer diameter is more than 0.25, then the influence of such a tee on the energy loss of the gas pipeline system is minimal. Local resistance coefficients of equal gas pipeline tees are calculated and the resulting equation for their calculation will be useful for specialists designing gas pipeline systems
