Specialists from the Ufa scientific institute of Rosneft have made a real breakthrough – they have developed and patented the first Russian robotic complex for repairing pump and compressor pipes (NKT). This is a fully automated system that uses the most modern technologies for monitoring and managing processes.
The robotic complex is a modular design that allows changing the equipment configuration depending on the complicating factors common in the production region. Two technological lines allow not only to repair pipes, but also to apply a protective coating to their inner surface. The productivity of the complex reaches 21 thousand pipes per month.
The main advantage of the development is minimal human involvement. The entire complex process, including sorting, cleaning pipes from various types of contaminants and even such operations as turning and turning connecting couplings, is now performed automatically. The system's operation is controlled by personnel remotely.
The introduction of robotic lines provides several advantages at once: production becomes more compact, safer and more efficient. As a result, the share of manual operations will decrease by 53%, while productivity will increase by 25%.
The project is a successful example of effective interaction between corporate science and production. The Ufa tandem plans to implement this direction not only at Rosneft facilities, but also to replicate its results to third-party oil companies interested in the development of domestic robotics and the effective use of innovations in the repair of tubing.
The introduction of advanced approaches and technologies is one of the key areas of the Rosneft-2030 strategy. The company pays special attention to innovative development, defining technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.
