Gazprom's New System Boosts Safety at Key 'Power of Siberia' Field
Gazprom Dobycha Novy Urengoy is introducing a state-of-the-art intelligent system at the Chayandinskoye oil field in Yakutia. This multi-level complex, known as the 'Program and Technical Complex for Engineering Geotechnical Monitoring', will enhance safety and reliability at the field, which is a key component of the 'Power of Siberia' gas pipeline.
The system operates over long distances, providing real-time, continuous monitoring. It consists of upper and lower levels. The lower level includes primary sensors and auxiliary network equipment, while the upper level comprises the enterprise's information and management system and an automated workstation with specialized software. Information flows from the lower to the upper level via secure technological communication channels.
Specialists from Gazprom Dobycha Novy Urengoy are implementing this system at the Chayandinskoye field, which is one of the largest in Eastern Russia and located in the permafrost zone. The system ensures automated remote control of foundation soil temperature and the spatial position of buildings and structures. This application of modern intelligent geotechnical monitoring systems boosts the reliability of production processes and positively impacts safety.
The implementation of the 'Program and Technical Complex for Engineering Geotechnical Monitoring' at the Chayandinskoye field is part of the Eastern Gas Program. Despite no public information on the lead developer, this innovative system is expected to significantly improve operational reliability and safety at the field and its associated infrastructure.
