PRE-ASSEMBLED UNIT METHOD OF OIL-FIELD FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATION
Pages 429-436
Pre-assembled unit (PAU) method of oil-field facilities construction organization is a promising direction of industrialization and intensification of capital construction since it guarantees high productivity, time-saving and quality of the constructed facilities. However, in recent decades, production and use of PAU devices has been reduced. Purposes of study were сonsideration and analysis of the main types of PAU devices in terms of their production for the construction of oilfield facilities in the Tyumen region. PAU devices, enlarged assembly units and engineering communications sections are manufactured in the factory, then almost ready-made objects or parts thereof are delivered to construction sites. PAU approach to the construction organization of oilfield facilities is described. The main types of PAU devices are presented. This type of devices, such as superblocks, is considered in detail, the history of their production and ways of their transportation are described. A number of superblocks are presented, which, at the moment, can be produced in the Tyumen region. The main advantages of the PAU construction method are listed. A conclusion is made on the need to revive the production of superblocks because of their importance in developing the largest deposits of Western Siberia, discovered in the 1980s, as well as the possibility of transferring the experience of the past generation for the efficient, economical and high-quality development of modern deposits.
