CAVITATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
The article considers cavitation effect during operation of different hydro-equipment and hydro-systems. Some useful effects following cavitation are analyzed. Analysis of cavitation processes modeling as applied to axis-symmetrical jet streams is presented. The article also discusses methods of efficient usage of hydrodynamic cavitation in oil and gas industry during drilling and tamponage muds preparation as well as cleaning of different oil and gas equipment (pump-compressor pipes, glycol regeneration units, gas transferring equipment, hydro-technical objects, etc.) and intensification of operation of oil and water wells
