Today, there is a growing shortage of commercial motor fuels in the world. This is due to the tendency to regulate the extraction of hydrocarbons, which are the main raw materials for their production; and, therefore, to reduce the import of oil, alternative types of fuel for diesel engines based on oils and animal fats are becoming widespread today. In this regard, intensive work is underway to convert internal combustion engines to biofuel-based ones both in countries with limited fuel and energy resources and in highly developed countries that have the opportunity to purchase liquid energy carriers. Biodiesel fuel (biodiesel, PME, RME, FAME, EMAG, etc.) is an environmentally friendly type of biofuel obtained from vegetable and animal fats and used to replace petroleum diesel fuel. According to the results of modelling, in the process of using RME B100 biodiesel fuel, we found a reduction in nitrogen dioxide emissions by 21.5% and a reduction in soot emissions by 34.5%. This will positively affect the environmental performance of the Sandvik LH514 loader, which is especially relevant in closed environments such as mines. So, according to the results of studies of the operation of the DD15 engine of the Sandvik LH514 loader on commercial and RME B100 biodiesel fuel, it was established that the use of biodiesel fuel leads to a deterioration of the mixture, due to which heat generation is reduced and, as a result, fuel consumption increases and engine power decreases, but the aspect of environmental indicators constitutes the significant improvement demonstrated by the present work.

In connection with the increase in the price of fuel based on hydrocarbons, the search and use of alternative types of fuel for machines in the mining and oil production industry is quite relevant today. Most of the existing alternative fuels by themselves cannot be considered as ready-to-use motor fuels. One of the ways to solve this problem is to use their mixtures with commercial fuels in certain ratios. This work deals with the development and research of the main characteristics of the mixer for obtaining mixed fuels based on diesel fuel and soybean oil, as well as the results of the study of the physical and operational properties of the obtained mixtures of different volume ratios of diesel fuel and soybean oil. The process of obtaining a mixed alternative fuel based on diesel fuel and soybean oil was implemented on a developed installation consisting of a mixer, the design of which is protected by a patent of Ukraine, and a gear pump. The study of the characteristics of the mixer as part of the installation showed that at a temperature of the components of the alternative fuel of 20°С, with a loss of full pressure on the mixer Δр ≈ (60-65) kPa, the volume consumption of soybean oil reached 10.7.10-6 m3/s. The time of preparation of the fuel mixture in the amount of 195 liters with a content of soybean oil of 10% ranged from 30 to 33 minutes. As research has shown, mixing soybean oil with diesel fuel in the amount of 5-50% vol. provides an improvement in viscosity-temperature properties and makes it possible to use such mixtures in diesel engines without changes in the design of the power supply system and regulation of fuel equipment, which characterizes soybean oil as a promising additive to diesel fuels to improve their technical and operational performance.

Management of wells in the process of their construction is one of the important factors in ensuring the safety of the technological process. Blowout equipment, which includes annular preventers, is used to control the wells. This applies to the construction of oil and gas wells, or wells that provide degassing of coal seams to reduce their gas-dynamic activity. For the purpose of safe and long-term operation of annular preventers on the basis of the theory of thick-walled combined reinforced shells and the carried-out analytical research, the mathematical model for research of a stress-strain condition of a seal of an annular preventer has been offered. Taking into consideration the real design, the seal of the annular preventer is modeled by a rubber shell, reinforced in the circular direction by rubber frames, and in the longitudinal direction by metal stringers. The mathematical model provides for determining the stiffness, internal force factors and stresses in the longitudinal and transverse sections of the combined rubber-metal seal, considering the peculiarities of its operation. At the same time, the model includes the conditions of interaction of the rubber base of the seal with a pipe, as well as the action of sealing pressure under operating conditions. The use of the proposed mathematical model reduces the costs of experimental research and will contribute to ensuring the reliability of simulation modeling results. The advantage of the method is the determination of calculated loads at different points of the combined seal under the existing state of dangerous zones and the influence of operating conditions. In the meantime, prerequisites have been created for expanding the possibilities of simulation modeling and designing structural elements of annular preventers with increased operational characteristics. The practical value of the obtained results is determined by the possibility of using them to ensure the performance of the rubber-metal seal both at the stage of its design and during the operation.

To ensure the operability of machinery and equipment for the oil and gas industry, it is important to study their operation with subsequent improvement. This scientific work is devoted to highlighting the operation simulation of the impeller in a submersible centrifugal pump, because the pump itself is the main equipment in oil production. The main parts of a submersible centrifugal pump are its stages, consisting of an impeller and a guide vane. When the impeller rotates, a force interaction of the flow with the impeller blades occurs, while a pressure difference in the fluid flow on both sides of each blade arises. The pressure forces of the blades on the flow create a forced rotational and translational motion of the fluid, increasing its mechanical energy. It should be noted that the movement of fluid in pump sections is a rather complex process that is difficult to accurately describe analytically. However, today there are various computer programs (SOLIDWORKS FlowSimulation, ANSYS CFD, etc.) based on the finite volume method (FVM). To study the operation of a submersible centrifugal pump impeller, there has been built its threedimensional model. As a result of calculations, the distribution of pressure and velocity in the cross section of the impeller was obtained.

In this study hardfacing by flux-cored arc welding with Fe-Mo-Mn-B-C-based alloy as an alternative technique for improving wear resistance of mining machines conical picks was investigated. The microstructure of hardfaced layer consists of the uniformly distributed faceted grains of binary (Fe,Mn)Mo2B2 boride phase with average size of 25 μm and austenite-based eutectic. The hardness measured by microindentation and microscratching techniques across the interfaces between deposited layer and base steel was within 2.2 – 18 GPa. No welding defects such as cracks, pores or non-metal inclusions in the hardfaced layer and heat affected zones were detected. Comparative studies of the developed hardfacing alloy with commercially available Capilla HR MAG hardfacing and heat treated 35HGS steel were carried out using testing machine developed at the department of machinery engineering and transport of AGH university of science and technology for semi-industrial wear tests of mining machines conical picks. Wear measurement results show that using hardfacing with proposed alloy of Fe-Mo-Mn-B-C system leads to decreasing of impact-abrasion wear rate in approximately 3 times than that for tested commercial materials. This allows to recommend hardfacing by FCAW with proposed material in form of flux-cored wire for conical picks insert holders’ surfaces during mining of hard rocks.

In this work were analyzed factors and working conditions that leads to the wearing of junk mills tools that are a part of junk removal equipment used in drilling and workover of borehole. Such equipment is a part of oil and gas industry and work under condition of intense abrasive wearing with increased pressures and cyclic loads. Was established that traditional hardfacing materials based on the Fe-Cr-C system are not effective for improvement of abrasion resistance of elements of such equipment due to their low crack resistance and low hardness of chromium carbides. The aim of this work was to increase a durability of that equipment by using of flux cored electrodes with reaction components of pure metal powders, which leads to forming the fine-grained structure with increased hardness. Powders of Ti, Mo, B4C and their combinations were used. Structures of the hardfacing coatings were investigated by method of metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Abrasion wear tests were held under condition of fixed and non-fixed abrasion. Using of pure metal powders led to formation of a fine-grained structure with grains of Mo2FeB2 that forms around TiC, which work as modifier. It was investigated that the researched material based on Fe-Ti-Mo-C-B system that was used for increasing the wear resistance of junk mills led to increasing of the TBO period in 1.5-1.6 times comparing with serial hardfacing materials based on tungsten.

The article examines the influence of migration processes on the formation and development of production capacities of countries. It is emphasized that population migration significantly affects the social and economic indicators of the country; under such influence, they can have both positive and negative trends. The article presents the main positive and negative consequences of population migration for donor countries, recipient countries, and for migrants themselves. It is proved that one of the most popular and promising is educational migration, which, under certain favorable circumstances, makes it possible to form highly qualified personnel, deepen international cooperation between higher education institutions of different countries, and strengthen the joint use of educational and scientific potential. The attention is focused on the fact that Ukraine today acts as a donor country and a leader in the number of young people who travel to study in Poland. It is indicated that in order to effectively regulate migration processes by the state, it is appropriate to ensure interaction between higher education institutions of different countries, namely, in the sphere of: a double-degree program, foreign internships, and holding joint international conferences. Using the example of Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas and Ternopil National Economic University, it is shown how such interaction is implemented in practice and its consequences. The conclusions are based on the fact that educational migration is one of the most favorable types of migration. With its proper control by the state, it is possible to stimulate the development of the production industry in countries and improve social and economic indicators.

The theoretical research and substantiation of specialists compliance estimation with corporate requirements on the basis of international certification and determination of its role in the system of enterprise’ staff management are carried out in the article. The algorithm of the enterprise’ effect achievement of the preliminary international certification of the personnel involved in oil and gas wells drilling is offered. The relationship between the number of persons trained and certified by International Well Control Forum in Drilling Simulation Center of the Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas and the volume of drilling of oil and gas wells in Ukraine is analyzed. The task was accomplished by means of correlation and regression analysis. The results of the calculations allow us to make sufficiently plausible assumptions about the impact of training and certification on drilling volumes. It is established that the increase in the number of persons certified according to International Well Control Forum for one person will allow to expect the volume of drilling of oil and gas wells by 0.734 thousand metres per year.

One of the main elements of control over wells in the process of their construction is the blowout equipment, which includes annular preventers. This also applies to wells that provide degassing of coal veins to reduce their gas dynamic activity. Modern technology of work requires expansion of the functionality of the sealing unit of the annular preventers with the simultaneous provision of its operational characteristics. Determining the necessary durability of seals for different operating modes is the study of their stress-strain state. The paper deals with the possibility of using simulation modeling in the annular preventers design situations and within the study of the armature geometry influence of the sealant fittings on its stress-strain state. The method of determining the material constants to realize the Mooney-Rivlin model has been proposed. The behavior of low-density rubber in software product has been described by the finite element method. The aggregation error of experimental and theoretical studies is 5%. Therefore, the preconditions and the possibility of using simulation modeling in the design of annular preventers devices with increased operational characteristics have been created and confirmed.
