Information and software support for the automated system of scientific research on the survivability of gas production facilities

The article is devoted to the automation of information processes of scientific research on the survivability of gas production facilities under the conditions of well flooding. The author proposes the structure of an automated system for scientific research of the survivability of gas production facilities, which includes a mathematical apparatus for modeling reservoir-well objects, watering processes and survival aids – various technologies for combating watering. The existing application software on the market for performing hydrodynamic modeling or hydraulic calculations does not allow studying the survivability of gas production objects. Therefore, a newly developed information and software for an automated system of scientific research that will allow assessing the survivability of gas production facilities under conditions of flooding, as well as helping a specialist to make decisions to improve it using technologies to combat flooding in wells. The automated system components are based on system analysis, the theory of hydraulics and oil and gas mechanics, object-oriented programming methods, statistical analysis, graph theory, modeling theory, control theory, nodal analysis method, etc. As a result of predictive modeling, the coefficient of survivability of gas production facilities is calculated taking into account the properties of efficiency, resource intensity when using means of ensuring survivability. Based on the given criterion, the system software offers the best technology to combat the watering of a gas production facility.
