[Article by G. I. Ibragimov, engineer, Moscow TerriCor3a1 TnspecCion nf
Gosgaznadzorj
[Texr] Natural gas, as an economic for.m of fuel, is extensively used in many
areas of production, an~ is conducive to an increase ii? labnr productiviey,
aCtainment of high effic~ency in technological prncesses and a reducCion in
the specific expenditures of fue1. A reliable supply of hig}~-quality fuel to
the national economy requires an increase in gas recovery and more efficient
use of ggs. In this connection, an importanC pare is played by the technical-
economic indices of operation of heat and power equipment. The Moscow Terri-
torial InspecCion of Gosgaznadzor SSSR carries out direcC superviaion over
rational uCilization of gas, adher~nce to etrict measures of economy and
elimination of losses of gas durid~ consumption.
Work on economy of fuel-energy resources in enterprises and nrganizaCions is
being done in areas of reducing loases in heating neCworka, rationalixing
technological processes, introducing new equipment and updating old equipment,
more compleCe utilization of secondary heat, improvement of normalization, and
supervising raCional expenditure of thermal energy. Each year industrial
enterprises work out plans for organizational-technical measures to satisfy
the confirmed quotas on saving of energy resources. Fuel and thermal energy
are economized every year by the collectives of the Stankolit Plant, the
_ Serp i Molot P1anC and the Lyublin Foundry. For instance in 1977 the Serp i
Molot Plant saved 1.5 million cu. m of gas and 3148 Gcal of thermal energy.
Practice has shown that where the management of an enterprise, the Party,
' Kom~omol and trade union organizations are at the head of creative initiative
� of workers and engineering-technical personnel and wage a daily battle for
technical progress, the introduction of leadin~ experience, perfection of
the organizaCion of ~abor and production, the internal reserves of production
are most fully utilized and higher indices with respect to economy of energy
resources are attained. At the same time, the proper concern is not beinR
given to this important matter in a number of enterprises. In many factories
and plants there are shortcomings in the use of natural gas, wastage. of fuel,
nonproductive losses of thermal energy.

nf fuel and a 4-a% reduction�in boi~.er ~ffiniency. � i
~One of the methodg ~f improving efficiency in the use of natural $as is r.o f
do regime-ad~usCment CesC~ on gns-using faciliCies with preparaCian o: regime
chgrts. This enables operat~on of equipment w.rth optimum parameters and
minimum ggs consumption. However, iC has been estnblish~d in the ~ourse of '
inspection that such work has noe been done t.n 106 industrial enterprises of
Moscow (the RTI-2 Plant, the Kauchuk Prnduction Association, tihe Carding
Factory im~ni the 5eventh Annivergary of the Octnber ItevoluCi~n and aCh~rs),
while in 24 enterprises (Che October Streetcar Depot, Furniture ~umbine No 3
and others) the gas-using faciliCies are being operat~d with considerable ;
deviaCiona from the regime charts due to the lack of skill on Che part of ~
gervice personnel. '
One of the bottlenecks in operation of gas-using equipment is tha~: boilers
are noC equipped with automatic gas analyzers that dete.rmine the carbon ~
dioxide contenC or oxygen contenk in combustion products. Wi.thout such gas
analyzers it is practically impossible to make a reliable check on the �
quality of gas combustion and adherence to the working conditions of equipment. ~
The check st~owed that automatic gas analyzers are lacking in 110 industrial '
~ enterprisss (the Lyublin Fruit and Vegetable Office, the Goznak Printing
Plant and others), while a considerable number of installed gas analyzers are ,
not in operation in 4~ enterprises (the Beskudnikovskiy Construction material ;
and Structural Element Combine No 1, the Technical Articles P1anC and others).
AutomaCion of the control of combustion processes should play a large part
in normalizing the operation of gas-usic~g equipment. However, it has been
esCablishPd that 77 industrial enterprises (Che Technical Photoplate Plant, _
the Carding Factory and others) lack automatic equipment for combustion
control, while the equipment in 38 enterprises (the Krasnyy Proletariy
Printing Plant, Tool Plant Nu 5 of the Moszhilpromsnab Trust and others) _
is not operating. T1ie combustion of gss in antiquated equipment leads to ,
considerable losses. Antiquated.~uneconomical boilers (with efficiency of
60-80X) are being used in 55 enterprises of the city (the Port Re�rigeration
Combine, the Krasnyy Put' Machine Plant and others), resulting in a loss of
up to lOX in fuel burned.
At the Trolleybus Repair Plant, the Experimental Glass Plant and elsewhere ~
no account is kept of fuel expenditure and thermal energy produced, so that
the actual specific norms uf fuel consumption cannot be determined. Iiowever,

Z'he measure of consumpCion of energy resourcea is the norm for �uel con-

nically and economically suber~ntiated norms should correspond to the currene

artd energy resources~ In thie connection there muat be an appreciable
increase in rhe role of inethodical work on normalizing fuel and energy
' resourcee on all levels of management of the national economy.
It ghould be noted that a n.umber o� ministries and agenci~s are noC keeping
� good track of the use of fuels in subordinaee enCerprises, and sometimea .
approve overetgted norcn9. For instance Che specific norms of fuel conaumption
are overstated in a number of enterprises of the MiniaCi~y of the Meat and
Dairy Induetry o� the USSR: at the Ochakovskiy Dairy Plant by 9.9 kg of
ideal fuel per Gcal (leading to an overconsumpeion of 1 million cu. m of gas
per year), at the Moscow Poultry Combine by 17 kg per Gcal (the over-
" consucnpCion of gas amounCs Co about 0.5 million.cu. m per year). In many
enterprises (the fruit and vegetable bases of Baumanskiy, Proletarskiy and
other rayons) there are no technically substantiated norms of fuel con-
sumption. .
Economy of iuel and energy resources depends to a consderable extent on �Che
development and tmplementation of specific measures to save fuel (gas).
However, such measures have not been worked ouC at the Dzerzhinskiy Fruit
and Vegetable Office, at the Technical Photoplate Plant and elaewhere.
~ Installed aC the Osvobozhdennyy Trud Fine Fabric Factory and the weaving and
~ finishing combine in the BurevesCnik Production Association are up-to-date
type DKVR-6.5-13 boilers that according to plan should be equipped with ~
automatic equipment, instruments and utilizers of the heat of combustion
products. It was established by the check that utilizers are not installed
on the boilers (this leads to overconsumption of gas, and to a 4-6X reduction
in boiler effic~ency), automatic equipment for combustion regulation is
]Acking, the quality of fuel combustion is not being monitored, and no account
- is being kept on the thermal energy produced and used. Each year in these
enterprises there is an overconsumption of about 1 million cu. m of gas
(400,000, 400,000 and 150,000 cu. m respecityely [sic]). The same pattern
. is observed at the Auto Repair Plant No 2 and the Experimental Pilot Metal
Fiant, where overcont~umpCion amouncs to about 300,000 cu. m of gas per year,
or 8-10~ of the yearly consumpCion of gas by these enterprises. The Auto
Repair Plant No 2 has not even worked out plans for organizational-technical
steps to conserve fuel and thermal energy.

[Text] Depoaits of the Northern European USSR
~ peCroleum, gas, and gas condensate deposits have been discovered in the
Komi ASSR, the Nenets Autonomous District, and Arkhangel'skaya Oblast of
the Northern European USSR.
This petroleum-$as region is located in the Timan-Pechora region, which ~
encompass~a a vaat area bounded by thc~ Ural and Pay-Khoy uplifts in the
east, the Polyudova Kamnya uplift in the south, and the Timan Ridge in
the west (see Figure 1 below). The first pool of heavy crude oil found
in the Pechora petroleum-gas region was confined to Che Chibyusskaya
Series of the Middle Devonian.
The Yaregskoye Deposit ~
' This deposit began to be worked in 1933. In 1939 extxaction by the
underground shaft method was begun; in 1953 well drilling draining
layers on a~12-15 meter grid was introducpd. The oil pool covered a
- vast area, w~ extremzl~ long (260-300 kilometers), and was worked by
several ahafts.
The composition of the petroleum gases from this despoit was studied in
detail for shafts Nos 1, 2, and 3.
The studi~s established that the petroleum gases of the Yaregskoye deposit
are dry methane gases. They have a methane concentraticn of 95-98 percent
with 0.1-2.0 percen~ nitrogen, 0.7-2.5 percen~ carbon dioxide, and no hy- -
drogen aulfide. Among the homologueb ~f inethane the gases contain small
amounts of ethane, propane, and higher molecular hydrocarbons.

The composition of the gas differs little at different sites in the shafts. ~
There is some variation in content of carbon dioxide; the concentration of ~
C02 is greater (up to Cwo percent) in the gases of the old, worked sectors
of the pool and less in Che gases from Che new drilled wells and boreholes. ;
The gases frc~m petroleum shaft No 3, which was put into operation later ~
than Nos 1 and 2, contain more homologues of inethane and niCrogen. . ~
~
The composition of the petroleum gas of the Yaregskoye deposit given off �
into the atmosphere during degassing to atmospheric pressure is shown in ;
' the data contained in Table 6(next page). ;
The composition of the residual dissolved gas is: CH4 97.8 percent; ;

a~td6C02 0.7 percenC. There ~g about 0.05 cubic meters per tan of this .
gas.
These compositio~ of petroleum gases from the Yaregskoye deposit illustrate '
that the gases of gas pools are not the only source of dry methane gases. ~

In additi.an to the Yaregskoye petroleum deposit, Che only depos~.t in the
Soviet Union where petroleum was extrar,ted by Che sh~�t method, pools of
. heavy crude oil coneaining sma11 amounts of dissolved gas were worked in
the Chelbasskoye depoait in Chp Ukhta and Trnitsko-Pechor~ region.
In subaequent years various large deposits were discavered and worked in '
th3s region. Among these deposits were the~Sed'-Io1'skoye gas depflsit
(1935); the petroleum-gas deposits of Voy-Vozh (1943), Nibe1' (1945),
~erkhneomrinskoye and Nizhneomrinakoye (1949, 1950), Nyamedsko~?e (1947),
Kush-Kodshskoye (1949), and Dzhebol'akoye (1956); the petrole~m deposits
- of 2apadno-Tebukskoye (1959), Lem'yuasko~-e (1960), Michayusskoye (1961),
Vostochno-Savinoborak~ye (1961), and Usinskoye (1962); Che gas deposits
of Pechor~gorodskoye (1965), Pechorokozhevenskoye (1964), and others.

For a long time the Pechora petroleum-gas province was worked as a petro-
leum region. In the last decade, however, the large Vuktyl'skoye gas
condensate deposit has been discovered in this region.
The tiorthern part of the province has not been adequatel~y studied. Mo3t
of the deposits are located in the southern part of the Izhma-Pechora ~
basin.
- In this region industrially feasible gas and petroleum has been identified ~
in bed~ of the Devonian, Carboniferous, and Per~ian systems.
_ - In the Devonian beds the following productive horizons have been identified
in the Poddomanikov stratum: III, II, Iv, Ib, and Ia. The carbonate rocks
of the Zadonsko-Yelets strata of Che Filenskiy Stage and the Ukhta sCrata
of the Franskiy Stage also contain gas.
Industrially feasible gas in Lower Permian carbonate rock has been proven
at the Vuktyl'skoye gas condensate deposite, which is located in the Sub-
Ura1 trough, where Carboniferous carbonate rocks are also productive.

The gases of the Vuktyl'skoye depoeit cnntain up to nine percent ethane,
about t~~ro percent propane, more than one percent other homologues of ~
methgne, 5-1 percent nieragen, and 0.1 percent carbon dioxide~ There is ~
no hydrogen eulfide in the gases. ;

tl~e period that iC hae been worked Che layer presgure has dropped greatly. ~
Tne composiCion oE the gas extracted at the Vuktyl'skoye depoait is ;
shown in Table 7(next page). i
Low-temperature aeparation units are used at the Vultyl field to remove
hydrocarbon condensate and moisture from Che gas up to g Cemperature of ,
dew point minus 10 degrees C.
The unstable condensate,degaesed at 25 kilogram-force per square centimeter, _ ~
is transported by a condensate line to a gas refinery where it is sCabilized
and the hydrocarbons are aeparated out. The refin~ry praduces producta for
market and feeda gas inCo the gas transport system. , _
The gas has excellent market characteristica with reapect to heat or burn-
ing and a complete absence of sulfur-containing compounds, as Well as low
levels of COZ. The top heat of burning of market gas from the
Vyktyl'skoye depoait is 8,900 gigacalories per cubic meter (at 20 degrees
C. and 760 millimeters mercury column).

supply when the hydrogen sulfide is removed (for use as a s~urce of ~ ,
marketable sulfur) and it is dried in order that the gas can be trans-
ported reliably without using a C02 ballast mixture.

of the fold is in Afghanistan.
Cretaceous and Jurassic beds contain gas at the deposit. Gas has been
received from beds of the Cenomanian, Turonian, Neocomian-Aptian and

[Text] The Ukra3ne ~ s miners extracted 106.1.~ million tons of coa7. during I
the first half of this year (table 1). The plan for coal m3ned for cokirig
was met by 100.3 percent. The plan for labor productivity per worker for
mining coal was met by 102.2 percent.
As of 1 July 1978 the rep~ublic~s coal industry had 1,590 act3ve breakage
faces; the average active line of the breakage faces was 21}1~.56 IQn, and
the average monthl.y advance was 37�7 meters. The average daily extraction
of coal per active breakage face was 38i~ tons. The da.ily production of
one underground or strip mine (administrative unit) averaged 2,637 tons. i
At undergro~~nd mines, breaka.ge faces that were'.mechanized in integrated I
fashion and equipped with cutter-loaders and si.n~gle-bucket overhead exca- ~
vators numbered k62 where seFUns were at gradieni angles of less than 35 ~
degrees. From these faces 49,111~000 tons of coal were mined under a plan ,
for 48,990,000 tons~ which vras 57.L, percent of all that mined from oper- ~
ating breakage faces at seams with gradient angles of less than 35 degrees. i
~
At seams with gradient angles of more than 35 degrees, there were 51 break- '
age faces mechanized in integrated fashion, including ~8 that were
equipped with AShch roof supports. Mined at steep seams were 1,512,000
tons under a plan for 1~510,000 tons, and the average dail.y workload per �
face was 205 tons. ~
t'~ For UkSSR Minugleprom [Ministry of Coal Industry] as a whole, the plan for f'
the conduct of all preparatory excavation was met by 100.1 percent, and ;
the plan for stripping and preparatory excavation by 98.9 percent !
(table 2). Excavation conducted with the mechanized loading of coal and ~
rock was 981.9 lmi, or 76.8 percent of the total length of excavation con-
ducted where loading was required. ~
~ Coal preparation workers of the republic's coal industry processed 66.53
million tons of coal and produced 1~0.31 million tons of clean coal at
