Mathematical Software for Estimation of the Air Pollution Level During Emergency Flowing of Gas Well for Education and Advanced Training of Specialists in the Oil and Gas Industry

Operation of oil and gas wells and unforeseen emergencies are accompanied by disturbances in natural state of the atmosphere, soils, reservoirs. It threatens personnel and surrounding areas population. Therefore, oil and gas industry are always subject to increased environmental hazards. International studies confirm that about 80% of accidents and technogenic disasters are related to the human factor. After all, quite common causes of errors are design deficiencies in the workplace equipment or errors in training or instruction of personnel. Therefore, oil and gas workers need constant training and acquisition of competencies to prevent emergencies. Currently, modeling is only one tool for research and solution of current problems of environmental safety of gas condensate fields. This is especially true for those questions that cannot be answered in practice, namely study of causes and accidents forecasting with low probability of occurrence, but with great destructive consequences. For this aim, it is proposed to use number of mathematical models developed by the authors of this publication, namely: model of gas mixture leakage during non-burning flowing of gas well; model of steady flow of gas mixture from the well; model of volley leakage of gases mixture from well; model of pollutants distribution in atmospheric air during flowing of gas well. Process of future specialists training for oil and gas industry for specialties 101 “Ecology”, 103 “Earth Sciences”, 183 “Environmental Protection Technologies”, 184 “Mining”, 185 “Oil and Gas Engineering and Technologies” should be based on use of powerful scientific and methodological training base with application of modern scientific achievements and innovative developments. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to supplement curricula for the students and graduate students training in the outlined specialties by studying issues of: development of mathematical models and software to solve problems of emergency prevention during spread of hazardous substances in flowing wells; use of specialized software for solving problems of emergency prevention.
