Criteria approach to the professional selection of an operator of an automated control system for an integrated oil and gas processing unit at the Kogalymneftegaz territorial production enterprise

Abstract

Research into the criteria for selecting professionals to operate automated control systems for integrated oil and gas processing units involves evaluating the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of employees and applicants in this field. The operator of automated control systems plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency of oil and gas production, industrial safety, and labour protection at the enterprise. The process of professional selection complex and can be affected by various negative factors that affect the working capacity of the studied group. These factors include objective and subjective fatigue processes, as well as the activity of the central nervous system. The latter is dependent not only on a person's psychotype but also on the intensity of these factors. Additionally, extreme climatic and geographical working conditions, shift work, and harmful parameters in the production process can also be mentioned. The Professional Selection Programme was developed for an operator of the automated control system of the integrated oil and gas processing unit of LUKOIL-Western Siberia LLC, Kogalymneftegaz territorial production enterprise. The analysis of the data enabled us to establish the main requirements for this Programme and devise an algorithm for its implementation.
