Abstract
The article deals with the impact of well watercutting on the reliability of field pipelines and pumping parameters. As a result of the analysis of statistical data on the number of accidents over the last 9 years, it has been established that the main part of accidents is associated with high watercut oil. Besides, approaching the value of the volume fraction of water in the emulsion to a critical one can lead to a pressure drop beyond the standard values. The article deals with the impact of well watercut on the reliability of field pipelines and pumping parameters. As a result of the analysis of statistics on the number of accidents over the past 9 years, it has been established that the main share of accidents is associated with high watercut of well products. Its high content is the reason for intense corrosion and erosion wear of pipe material, which leads to formation of in-pipe corrosion zones and, as a result, pipeline leaks.
