Today in the Russian Federation there is active search and implementation to construction and operation of facilities of oil and gas complex of the advanced foreign techniques of increase of operational reliability and management of integrity of such facilities. This tendency is especially important for unique and technically difficult facilities which projects are implemented in the Russian Federation in recent years. One of bright representatives of such objects are vertical steel tanks of large volume (more than 50000 m3) constructed for operation within terminals of transfer of oil in sea tankers. For management of data security of tanks actively takes root and the risk-focused methodology which is presented by the whole range as domestic documents, generally of techniques of Rostekhnadzor, and foreign, presented by the authoritative international organizations is widely applied.
The practice of implementing projects for the construction of large-capacity reservoirs in the Russian Federation primarily relies on regulatory methods developed over the past thirty years. These techniques are strength calculations for the criterion of failure with verification by the criterion of buckling. However, the practice of operating such structures shows that emergency and emergency situations are extremely rarely happen under these scenarios. The world practice of implementing a risk-oriented methodology for managing the technical condition of hazardous production facilities requires a comprehensive analysis of their operating conditions, the likelihood of implementing all possible emergency scenarios and the scale of their consequences.
In this article the analysis of factors and mechanisms which have the most important character for introduction risk-focused methodology in management of technical condition of tanks of large volume is carried out. The analysis of the limitations and advantages of this methodology, compared with the widely used methodologies, analyzes the prospect of its implementation in the production process.
