OPERATION OF MAIN OIL PIPELINES WITH PERIODIC DISCHARGES OF OIL AND PREDEFINED OIL PUMPING STATIONS LOCATION

The impact of volume of periodic discharges of oil on oil pipelines flow capacity with predefined oil pumping stations location was studied. It has been found that with the increase in the volume of discharges the productivity of the oil pipeline segment increases to the point of discharging, and the limiting plot, that limits the flow capacity of the entire main oil pipeline, may change. Іf the limiting segment is to the point of discharging then the increase of volume of discharges does not affect the flow capacity of oil pipeline to the point of discharging.
