Capabilities of the automated information support module for the oil and gas industry operator

Abstract

In the Russian Federation, the number of accidents and fatal injuries to oil and gas industry workers is growing, which requires the development of labor protection measures. Among the effective measures are information software technologies including the automated information support module for the gas and oil production and processing operator. The present study aims to analyze this module. The research objects are types of work performed by a commodity operator: maintenance of tanks, shut–off valves, pressure gauges, oil release. The subject is technological operations and production factors of technogenic risks which were taken into consideration when developing the automated information support module. A brief description of the module, its navigation on the main pages and their functions is provided. The algorithm for the safe work of the commodity operator and a list of block diagrams were analyzed. The main features of this module were described. Taking into account the production factors and workplace activities, the contribution of the module to the values of occupational risk was estimated. The conclusion about the use of a module that reduces risks and improves safety at oil and gas industry enterprises was made.
