During the construction and operation of oil and gas industry facilities, there are increased requirements for the quality of concrete. To this end, it is necessary to use new formulations and their preparation technology to obtain concretes of the required density with high strength, frost resistance, water resistance, crack resistance and, ultimately, increased durability. The use of a superplasticizing additive, basalt or polymer fiber and a nanocarbon additive in the specified amounts in the composition of fine-grained concrete contributed to an increase in the uniformity and density of the mixture and, accordingly, an increase in the strength characteristics of concrete at various hardening times. As a result of testing concrete samples for frost resistance, a mark of 400-500 cycles of freezing and thawing was obtained. This makes it possible to use these compositions of fine-grained concrete in harsh climatic and difficult engineering and geological conditions of construction and operation of oil and gas industry facilities.

In the process of drilling oil or gas wells, increased friction forces of the drill string against the walls of the well, as well as in the rock-crushing tool. The use of various formulations of washing liquid using surfactants from fish production waste contributes to solving a significant part of the problems. The presence of fatty acids in fish waste, which have a significant surface-active effect, allows them to be used as plasticizing additives in concrete. As a result of the introduction of these wastes into the concrete mixture, its rheological properties are improved, as well as the strength characteristics of the hardened fine-grained fiber concrete significantly increase. The use of fish production waste in the concrete mixture will reduce the cost of concrete production, and the environmental situation will improve due to the disposal of industrial waste.

The rocks that form a natural geological reservoir for underground gas storage, during the operation of UGS, are exposed to prolonged cyclic loads caused by periodic injections and withdrawals of natural gas. At the same time, it is possible to develop and accumulate residual deformations in rocks that cause irreversible changes in the properties of rocks and this must be taken into account when designing and operating UGS.

This article discusses several ways to determine the calculated lengths of steel columns in the plane of the frame. By analyzing existing techniques, the most successful method of selecting the calculated lengths for steel columns in a free multi-storey frame was determined. Taking into account the non-standard case of fastening crossbars to the considered section in the frame of the overpass, using the LIRA CAD PC, as well as the Crystal module (implemented in SCAD), the loss of stability of equally loaded elements in the most sensitive area is clearly shown.

This article discusses the main factors leading to a decrease in the bearing capacity of the support bases and the possible loss of stability of the offshore platform, which will entail emergency consequences. The impact of free gas in the upper sections of the soil and dynamic external loads on the safety of construction and operation of oil platforms has been assessed. Calculations for the bearing capacity of the pile foundation of the support bases of the SPBU Astra in the Caspian Sea, performed according to existing methods, were analyzed. The determination of the strength of the soil is carried out for the calculated support surface – the section of the column having the maximum area.

The article examines the influence of various superplasticizers on the performance characteristics of concrete. A series of tests of samples-beams of fine-grained concrete modified with plasticizers of various types was carried out. The optimal amount of the introduced additive was experimentally determined to compare the plasticizing effect of the cement-sand mixture. Experimental data are given indicating the main operational characteristics of the material depending on the additive used. The most effective additive "Polyplast SP-3" has been determined.

This article presents the developed compositions of dry mortar mixtures for the preparation of fine-grained concrete. For the preparation of these mixtures, the technology of electromagnetic action on the dry components of solutions was applied. As a result of the use of a magnetic field to activate and increase the reactivity of the mixture, the physical and mechanical characteristics of fine-grained concrete have significantly improved. The increase in the compressive strength of the samples reached more than 70% compared to the strength of samples prepared using conventional technology without the use of magnetic treatment of dry components of the mixture.

This article reveals a number of examples of the features of the construction of the base of a gravity offshore platform used for the extraction of hydrocarbons. The design of the reinforced concrete base of the platform in the form of a "monopod" consisting of 8 lower cylindrical tanks and a vertical reinforced concrete support with a length of 95 m is considered. Reinforcement of the entire structure was carried out by pre-tensioning reinforcement ropes on the hardened concrete in height by mechanical means. During the construction of the gravity foundation, new compositions of heavy high-strength modified concretes with the use of microsilicon and nanocarbon additives were used. During the construction process, adjustable formwork was used along the entire height of the structure.

In this paper, the analysis of technical solutions in the manufacturing technology of concreted pipes is considered. When constructing underwater crossings, the most reliable and effective method of ballasting is the method involving the use of pipes with a solid concrete coating. Concrete coatings, among other things, provide protection of the main pipeline from mechanical damage, as well as from the effects of an aggressive environment. The compositions of fine-grained concrete for concreting the surface of steel pipes using non-recycled waste of steel wire rope or pipe production are proposed. It has been established that the use of these wastes in certain dosages contributes to an increase in the strength of concrete, high frost resistance while reducing the amount of expensive heavy aggregates.

The Russian Federation is one of the leaders in the production and processing of oil, gas and petroleum products. Literally 100 years ago, mankind did not know how to properly, and most importantly carefully, store petroleum products. The construction of vertical steel tanks is different from the construction of ordinary (civil) buildings and structures. The specifics of the construction of reservoirs are discussed in this article.
