When is the day of the oil and gas industry. Oil and Gas Industry Day

Bearing in mind that on the first Sunday of September Russia celebrates the Day of Oil, Fuel and Gas Industry Workers, we wanted to find a serious, significant event for the entire industry in our new rubric"Accent". Of course, it turned out to be not easy to find - traditionally, the "big media" are silent. They do it so professionally that sometimes it just takes envy ... Even the Americans, led by Musk, showed how you can light (and the word "light" - without quotes) on the occasion of the approach of such a holiday, and we have silence.

Part 1.

The news found in the news sections of professional industry sites is more than just iconic, it can be downright epochal. But - it is "may", since the last word will be for the prospectors. Why can't you just take it and tell what exactly happened? Yes, because there is a suspicion that people who are not connected with the industry know a little more about oil, its exploration and production than about nuclear project. Are we used to reading about oil in the news? Yes, only about how prices jump and jump, sometimes throwing out such knees that the people of Kiev - and they only gasp enviously. We also know about billions of dollars and millions of barrels, fragmentarily about all kinds of pipes. Even particularly handshake gentlemen like to call Russia a "gas station country", about Arab sheikhs sitting on gold and platinum thrones, washed simply by the oceans of that oil. Well, and, of course, that extracting oil is the simplest and most common thing: you threw a pipe into the ground, and the oil flooded. So: to throw out the news is one thing, but to explain what it really means for the industry and for the whole of Russia is quite another.

Let's briefly "go over" oil - what it is, what they eat with and what stereotypes in their heads should be canceled once and for all. I propose to start with stereotypes. The most common of them, which journalists sin - "there are lakes and seas of oil underground, you just need to find them and immediately stick a pipe with a larger diameter."

Let's remember once and for all: there are no such oil lakes underground. The earth's crust is composed of rocks of different mineral composition and density. Rocks with a relatively low density, which have the ability to contain mobile substances (oil, water, etc.), are called reservoirs. These reservoir rocks, saturated with oil, form oil fields. Oilmen never deal with “lakes” of crude oil, they always have to figure out how to make this or that type of reservoir “give away” what it contains. To do this, the collector must also have such a property as porosity - to have pores, and pores that communicate with each other. It is quite logical that the main reservoirs of oil are sandstones, sands, dolomites, limestones.

Let's continue the reasoning, based on logic - our main tool in the search for truth in any natural science branch of knowledge. If the reservoir is a very thick layer, oil will have to be collected in the mode of a kind of “vacuum cleaner”, leading an imaginary “hose” along each crack. Conveniently? No. So, take out and put in oilmen not just a collector, but one that is limited from above and below by layers that are poorly permeable to oil - for example, layers of clay or gypsum. That's when everything is in order - there is a puff "pie", from which it is convenient to pick out the filling. But such oil-bearing layers differ from the jam pie of our childhood in the most important thing - the oil "pie" is always big and thick. Oil reservoirs are hidden underground at depths of a kilometer or more, which means that all this “kilometer or more” puts quite a lot of pressure on the reservoir layer, and the same solid “support” presses on the reservoir layer from below. This is the reason why oil literally breaks out of the well: the reservoir is squeezed from both sides, and suddenly the drill gives a way out! And, again, it is logical that the reservoir layer cannot have an infinite area - sooner or later dense layers merge with each other. The oilmen call such a reservoir, squeezed from both sides and limited in area, without further ado, called a "trap".

This is the same "trap". And the “gas bubble” at the very top is also not accidental in this diagram. After all, oil is formed not from the remains of dinosaurs (another stupid myth about oil), but from much smaller organisms - from phytoplankton, which, in the process of turning into oil, also releases gas. Gas is lighter than oil - so it squeezes it up, where it forms just such a "cap".

I hope that so far nothing complicated has appeared in the reasoning, so we continue - still relying on logic.

Before you start extracting oil, you need to find it, and in a decent amount. Yes, modern methods searches have long since become strictly scientific - no dowsing. Aerial photography, seismic exploration - a lot is used. But let's fix the obvious: for the correct interpretation of all the data received, the most important tool in the world is required - the human head. Geologists-professionals who collect data, analyze them, draw conclusions - were, are and will be key factor in the successful opening of new oil fields. Appreciate geologists, respect geologists, cherish them and cherish them, do not insult them by comparison with office plankton and other crackles, and - most importantly! Don't stop growing beards! Geologists are the salt of the Russian land, as well as its alkali, oil, gas and uranium. I beg you - make yourself a note-notch about this, okay?

The search for either oil or gas always has a probabilistic character - not because geologists eat their bread in vain, but because mother nature disposes of it this way. All theoretical research ends with a very exciting event: the drilling of test wells. Why gambling? Statistics show that one successful exploration well accounts for 5-10 empty wells. World statistics, not Russian. Do you remember, maybe, reports from the world's highest drilling rig "Troll" in the Norwegian part of the North Sea "walked" on the Internet?

Drilling rig "Troll", Photo: http://wwportal.com/

The field that is being developed with the help of this miracle of engineering is called Ekofisk. They were able to find it with the 200th (two hundredth - in words) attempts. 199 dry exploration wells and only after that - success, and a grandiose success.

But, since the decision has already been made to “run through the oil”, let's not deal with the search thoroughly, let's immediately move on to what is described in the world of creaks with the words “poke a pipe”. How are oil wells drilled? We start again with the destruction of another stereotype: oilmen do not drill wells, but ... build them. You may not believe me, but I have an unkillable argument in reserve. Representatives of the most cruel profession - employees tax authorities, refer wells to fixed assets of the enterprise, and the cost of their arrangement - to capital investments.

What is a well? Again we call on logic to help, again it is quite enough. A well is a mine working, the diameter of which is much less than its length, and the diameter is such that it does not provide for human access to it. What are the requirements for a well?

- its design should provide free access to the bottom of downhole equipment and instruments;

– the design of the well should prevent the collapse of the walls of the well;

– the design of the well should prevent the flow of oil from one layer to another;

- the design of the well should provide the possibility of sealing the wellhead, if necessary.

Yes, the terminology here is simple: the wellhead is the upper, surface part, the bottom of the well is its lower part.

“Poke the pipe” ... We drill 30 meters down with a large diameter, put a pipe with a diameter of 324 mm - we call this “direction”. Cementing the space between the direction walls and the walls rock. We will not cement it - it will wash out the rock during further drilling. The direction is ready - we reduce the diameter of the well, drill to a depth of 500-800 meters. We lower a new pipe string - now with a diameter of 168 mm, again cement the space between the pipe walls and the rock walls. Done - built "conductor". Why is it needed? Up to a depth of 500-800 mm (depending on the region) - a zone of fresh waters with active water exchange, below - a layer of salty waters. We do not isolate - the Khan of that fresh water. We built a conductor - now you can go down to the target depth. Now pipes with a diameter of 146 have already gone, but we continue and continue cementing the same space. Two kilometers of cementing, three - as much as necessary, we will cement as much. Do you agree that the well is being “built” and not drilled?..

Do you think this is all "wisdom"? If only... Wells are of different types - study the diagrams, no additional words are required here.

Three types of wells, Photo: http://neftianka.ru/

Three drilling methods, Photo: http://neftianka.ru/

So, in short. I really hope that now, in response to the phrase “I poked a pipe - and the oil flooded,” you will begin to react a little differently than before.

Okay, let's keep running. So they "poked the pipe" - what's next? Oil flooded? At first - yes, it flooded, since no one canceled the laws of physics. The pressure at the bottom of the well is less than the pressure in the reservoir - the energy of the reservoir itself pushes the oil up. But gradually the pressure inside the reservoir decreases, and the oil itself does not want to move anywhere. What to do in order to select it from the reservoir completely and completely? A whole set of, let's say, special measures have already been developed: water, gas, steam, chemical reagents are pumped into the reservoir. Water is the cheapest and easiest way, but not very smart. The injection of water saturates the collector with water so much that the water begins to look for a way out and breaks to the bottom of the well - and instead of oil, water suddenly starts gushing out of it. You can pump gas into the same gas cap - but only in cases where this cap has a good volume. No cap - coolants are pumped: steam or chemicals that provide exothermic reactions in the collector. It does not work? Gases are pumped into the entire reservoir - carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen, flue gases. In recent years, they have learned how to pump surfactants, use polymer and micellar flooding. The last "squeak": microbiological methods, when bacterial products are introduced into the reservoir or ensure its formation directly in the reservoir.

Each well has its own “character”, a set of features, each requires an individual solution. All these methods provide the final result: production continues for years, its decline is gradual, by interest per year.

Probably, you have already noticed that so far the story is not at all "holiday". Well, what can you do: in order to understand what a holiday is, you need to understand well what gray everyday life looks like. And this is really an extremely compressed story, in which there is and will not be information about what happens after the oil has left the well. Oil pipelines, oil refining deserve completely separate stories, but for now the goal is completely utilitarian: to ensure that in response to the words “poked a pipe and flooded oil”, there was a desire to poke something harder into something softer for such a talker. The work of our oil workers, our geologists is hard and not easy, the search for and production of oil requires knowledge, skills and true love for this so difficult and such the right profession. People who with their heads and hands have been ensuring for decades uninterrupted receipts of a lot of money into the treasury of the sovereign deserve our respect and respect.

Yes, as an announcement: the next note will be devoted to unconventional oil - the one that light hand Americans began to be called "shale". The path to one of them turns out to be thorny and intricate - well, yes, I want to be optimists, what can I hide! - one of the most important news of the XXI century. For those who are interested, please be patient.

1st Sunday of September - Day of Oil, Gas and Fuel Industry Workers

The first weekend of autumn is marked by a wonderful holiday - the Day of the Oil Worker (Gas Worker and Thermal Engineer). Having taken the children to school on the first Sunday of September, in accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated 01.10.80 “On holidays and memorable days”, the country is in a hurry to congratulate the workers of the oil and gas industry. How could it be without them, because "black gold" and "blue fuel" have been feeding Russia for more than a century.

IN Day of Oil, Gas and Fuel Industry Workers it is customary to talk about the successes of the industry, the achievements individual enterprises, discovery of new deposits. Further development prospects are also discussed. And this is understandable, because this holiday can be considered one of the most important in the country, it is on oil and gas that the economy of the entire state is built today, which means that one cannot forget about the people who make the “fairy tale come true”. But again the question arises that the attitude towards the oil industry in the country is not very positive, many consider it an “oil needle”, which prevents the country from developing in the field of high technologies, because there is always an “arrival” of funds, there is no need to think about the future . And you imagine how our life will change if today the country is left without gas and oil.

In Russia, the importance of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) is especially high. First, because of the huge resource potential. Secondly, the Russian fuel and energy complex has a unique production, scientific, technical and human potential. Thirdly, the important place of the fuel and energy complex is determined by climatic conditions, under which the provision of energy resources to the economy and the population of the country is a vital factor in the existence of entire regions.

The oil industry, which is one of the main branches of heavy industry, includes the exploration of oil and oil and gas fields, drilling of wells, oil and associated gas production, and oil pipeline transportation.

In the Soviet years, the Day of Oil and Gas Industry Workers was of great importance for workers in this industry, because it became a kind of gratitude and support from the whole country for the discovery of new deposits and unusually hard work. Songs were written about the hard work of gas and oil workers, short films and feature films were shot. The country followed with interest the discovery of new gas fields, oil wells. Many guys dreamed of getting an education related to the petrochemical industry and going to the extraction of black gold.

But even today the Day of Oil and Gas Workers has not lost its significance and is celebrated on a grand scale. And at present, a worker in the oil and gas industry is a very honorable profession.

This is a great way to tell all these people how much they do for the country, because it is impossible to imagine that we would be with us if this wealth was not at the disposal of the country.

The president of the country sends congratulations to the oil workers. Representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, large oil companies, deputies and industry veterans. Many industry workers are awarded medals and commemorative orders.

What can be wished to people who work in such a complex industry? Of course, health, happiness, as well as further success in this necessary, difficult and noble cause.

Congratulations on the Day of Oil and Gas Industry Workers

Toast-congratulations on the Oilman's Day

Sad landscape ... Bottomless bowels,
And there is little blue in the sky;
Pipeline kilometers,
Around only tundra, snow - and you.
For you - fearless, strong, zealous!
For you, stretching from the veins!
Let's celebrate, oilman -
You deserve this holiday!

The solemn event that takes place every year after the Decree of the USSR government, according to which it was established in 1980, is truly nationwide. The day of oil industry workers is considered a professional holiday by a huge number of people.

These are workers, engineering and technical staff, personnel employed in the main and auxiliary cycles of production and processing, working in related areas and industry areas. Back in the days of the struggle for the victory of socialism in our country, it was precisely the workers employed in this industry that were first singled out as specialists who give our industry and all daily life the blood for technology. These are oil and its derivatives, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, various oils and other products extracted from crude oil. In the overwhelming majority of cases, many of our contemporaries ask a banal question, how many workers in this industry are honored and whether the calendar date is stable or it can change from year to year. First of all, this is a rolling date, which falls on different dates in different years. Therefore, it is important to remember when, according to the decision of the governments of the republics of the post-Soviet space, these heroic workers should be honored.

A little about the calendar

In addition to the fact that it is customary to calculate solemn events in our lives in accordance with the calendar data for the current and subsequent years, we should not forget one more important nuance. As mentioned above, the origins of today's celebration go back to the distant eighties of the last century. Directly for the first time festive events were carried out on a large scale in the Soviet Union. It was then that the role of the gas producing and oil refining industries in the economic development and political stability of a huge country was determined. And today this day is celebrated by oil workers, as well as personnel employed in the gas, gas processing and fuel industries. The rhythmic work of any plant, factory, this is the national economy and its livelihoods, household amenities and much more directly depend on their well-coordinated work.

After a sultry summer comes a mild and somewhat mysterious September. It is on the first Sunday of September that these heroic people are honored. In the coming years, the situation with the calendar is as follows:

• 2016 - 04 September.
• 2017 - 03 September.
• 2018 - 02 September.
• 2019 - 01 September.
• 2020 - 06 September.

Industry History

Even in the ancient world, oil was a real treasure and a great value for the development of human civilization. A popular derivative of oil today - asphalt was known in ancient Babylon. The extraction and processing of this unique product of the earth's interior is associated with at great expense manpower, technical devices, capabilities and flight of engineering. But historically it turned out that only in the second half of the nineteenth century oil industry acquired the status of the sphere of economy.

On the day when the oil workers celebrate, they always remember the chronicle of the development of deposits of this very valuable mineral.

• 1859 The United States of America was the first to apply valuable inventions in the field of mechanics to the industrial drilling of boreholes.
• 1964 The Russian Empire begins production from the oil-bearing layers in the Kuban steppes. After that, for more than half a century, Russia held the first place in the role of an oil-producing country.
• During the civil war, Russia lost its leadership positions in this area.
• The forties of the last century were marked by the discovery of new richest deposits and oil-bearing layers in the regions of the Urals, the Volga region, Kazakhstan and Bashkiria.
• In the middle of the twentieth century, 70% of the country's fuel supply was provided by the famous Volga-Ural base.
• Today, the Russian Federation has restored the lost rating of an oil-producing power through the development of Western Siberia as the main region and its deposits.

Another holiday :

noble labor

Technological innovations and technical methodologies of recent years have allowed the gas industry to push oil somewhat out of the market and out of production use. Gas is much cheaper, promising and economical. Nevertheless, work in this area in Russia is still associated with difficult climatic conditions, all kinds of risks and the opportunity to expose one's own life and health to serious danger. Honor and honor to these people! Their courage and determination.

Black gold has become an indispensable raw material for many industries. chemical industry. Not only fuel is produced from it, but also plastics, pharmaceutical products, fabrics. Natural gas used as a heat source. Fertilizers are made from it. A professional holiday is dedicated to specialists involved in the development of deposits.

When they celebrate

Day of Oil and Gas Industry Workers is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of September. Oilman's Day in 2019 falls on September 1 and is not a national holiday. Honorings are fixed at the official level by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated 01.10.1980 No. 3018-X “On holidays and memorable days”.

Who is celebrating

Everyone involved in the oil and gas industry takes part in the celebrations. Among them are employees of quality laboratories, drilling rigs, distribution stations, pipeline communications, engineers, designers, support staff.

The holiday is considered by students, graduates and teachers of specialized educational institutions. A memorable date is celebrated by their colleagues, friends, relatives, acquaintances, as well as residents settlements, for which mining is a city-forming.

History and traditions of the holiday

Celebrations originate from Soviet times. The event was included in the list of memorable dates on October 1, 1980 by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Decision about honoring the Day of the gas worker at the official level became a manifestation of respect and recognition of the merits of representatives of this profession. After the collapse of the USSR, the tradition of celebrating was preserved in Russia.

On the Day of Oil and Gas Industry Workers 2019, colleagues organize feasts. Congratulations are pronounced, wishes of health and success in responsible work, the clink of glasses is heard. Friends, relatives, acquaintances, close people join the event. The event is celebrated not only by those employed in the industry, but also by the majority of residents of settlements where deposits are being developed.

Authorities and local government, with the support of mining companies, hold festivities. Concerts of creative groups are arranged on the squares of cities, stars are invited. The celebrations end with fireworks.

Television channels and radio stations broadcast programs dedicated to the profession. The main characters tell stories from their lives and everyday work. first person Russian Federation give speeches in honor of the Day of Oil and Gas Industry Workers. They emphasize the importance of the industry, talking about its successes and difficulties. The best employees are awarded certificates of honor, medals, and valuable gifts.

Exhibitions and thematic events are held in cultural institutions. Students of universities and technical schools gather in cafes, restaurants or go out into nature. Honoring is combined with outdoor activities: fishing, cooking on fire. The news is discussed, the participants share their plans for the future, and exchange gifts. Among them are T-shirts, cups, key chains, sweets.

About the profession

Specialists carry out work on the extraction of oil and gas deposits, ensure the functioning of infrastructure, supply necessary materials and equipment. It is customary to include personnel involved in the processing of raw materials from which finished products are made.

The path to the profession begins with studying at a specialized educational institution. For class leadership positions must be a university graduate. In the Russian Federation, the development of many fields takes place in the harsh climatic conditions of the Urals, Siberia, the Arctic, and offshore. As a result, wages are higher than in other areas. It belongs to the category hazardous to health.

A universal selection of gift ideas for every occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

I wish my readers a good day! I want to ask right away: do you know what date still unites the republics of the former Soviet Union? Day of the oilman and he is also the Day of the gasman! Real dates are exactly celebrated in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and other CIS countries.

A bit of history

By the way, I hasten to inform you that it turns out to be Oilman's Day, which has been celebrated since 1965. Then, by the act of establishing a professional holiday, the country celebrated the workers of the industry who successfully developed new oil and gas deposits in the western territories of Siberia. At the same time, the 100th anniversary of the national oil and gas industry- the date is very significant!

15 years later, in 1980, the holiday became the national Day of Oil, Gas and Fuel Industry Workers (this is its full official name).

Oilman's Day is celebrated every first Sunday in September. And if you want to know what date, then one that falls on the next Sunday.

For example, in 2018 we will celebrate on September 2. Why did you write "celebrate"? Personally, I have long wanted to show respect for the people of this profession. Thanks to them, we wake up every morning in a warm apartment, wash ourselves with hot water, cook breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drive on business.

The list of benefits that these workers give us does not end there. We are so used to the real everyday “little things” that sometimes we do not pay attention to them. Although we can hardly imagine life without oil products and their derivatives.

It turns out that we have not so much a reason as a civic duty to congratulate them. Especially if the oil or gas worker is your friend. Perhaps a relative.

Let's congratulate these specialists on September 4th. God forbid, the great good of civilization will continue to flow to us through the Russian pipes. Congratulations-toast turned out

What to present to oil and gas workers?

What do they give oilmen to professional holiday? Ideas abound. Of course, it’s impossible to thank with a personal tower, but you can present something original. Even the idea of ​​having your own oil well is easy to realize by giving a souvenir replica of the drilling rig. Now he will become an oil tycoon))

In general, it is desktop products that reflect miniature professional activity, for congratulations is most relevant. Oil workers accept products with symbols emphasizing respect for their life's work with undisguised gratitude. They will rejoice, for example:

• gift watch "Oil rig",
• keychain-roulette "Barrel" or "Oilman",
• business stand with an oil rig,
• anti-stress "Drops of oil".

And here are some more ideas:

1. Original gift - acrylic cube containing a drop of oil. Against the backdrop of rising prices for petroleum products, our friend will have, even a drop, but his own "black gold".
2. You can choose from a variety of gifts. For example, the same oil rig reduced size in metal or wood, which is placed in a glass decanter. There is its analogue - a tower for sea-based. Looks great!
3. Present bronze statuette of an oilman, a cistern or flames that symbolize heat and light.
4. Tell me, what measure of volume caresses the ear of every oilman? Oil American barrel! It is equal to 150 our liters. Now you understand why there are so many similar souvenirs on store shelves?
5. Organizer, which is decorated with a miniature figure of an oil rig or a gas station, of course, is not cheap, but it will look solid. Therefore, both a loved one and a colleague-boss are worthy of such a gift.
6. Employees of your oil company can choose expensive pen with an inscription as a memento, a tastefully made stylish petrol lamp or a modern gadget - stylish flash drive in the form of a barrel or valve. Well, female employees will be delighted to accept a present from you, which you can ... taste! Coffee, chocolate or cookies in a box will do, of course, in a symbolic form.
7. Buy for gas workers a souvenir tank truck with a watch, an anti-stress helmet, a lighter.
8. When looking for an inexpensive offering, stop at, for example, flask-canister or desktop holder in the shape of an oil drop or tanker.

The lack of ideas for congratulating the miners of wealth from the bowels in no way relieves them of severe responsibility. And if you're not joking, then today the shops souvenir products offer such an assortment (often they are even allocated to special thematic collections such as "Oil and Gas") that a suitable present will definitely meet.

Moreover, you can give more than just gifts that symbolize the industry. Present a board game to a relative or friend - let them fight with colleagues, say, in chess in the moments of a smoke break at work.

Please your loved one with a new tie, leather wallet, purse or briefcase if you are going to celebrate a professional date at home. And the most suitable surprise will be homemade chocolate cake.

Learn forever: handmade gifts are valued much more than purchased surprises. I know for myself. Remember? Well, then it's time for us to say goodbye.

Don't forget to tell your friends about today's post. See you soon!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoreva
