Abstract

Purpose. Determination of the causes of destruction of oil drilling equipment parts made of structural steels under the influence of operational loads.

Methods. The research was carried out on certified equipment from the Testing Center of Powder Metallurgy Institute named after of O.V. Roman accredited by the State Standard of RB (accreditation certificate ВУ/112 1.0263). The studied samples were provided by the State Production Association «Belorusneft».

Findings. The studies of the elemental composition, fracture morphology, structure, mechanical properties, and hardness of oil drilling equipment parts destroyed under the influence of operational loads have been carried out. The causes of the destruction of the casing coupling, stud, lock support ring and pump rod of drilling rigs operated at the largest fields of «Belorusneft» have been established.

Application field of research. The research results can be used in industrial safety subjects operating potentially dangerous facilities working under operating loads of varying intensity and loading types in order to increase the industrial safety level.
