Abstract
At present, the compressor industry of the oil sector of Azerbaijan is one of its leading links. If by the end of the 20th century the number of wells using the gas-lift method of production was about 42-46%, then by the end of 2019 it exceeded the 50% level. Compressors are an integral part of this technological process and require a strict improvement in the technical level of their safe operation. Therefore, improving the technical and economic performance of the compressor unit is an important task. This work is devoted to the study of design features and the main causes of valve failures in reciprocating compressors, as well as an assessment of their safe operation. Keywords: reciprocating compressor, reliability, valve, safety, gas-lift extraction method.
