Abstract

The experience of arranging sites with complex engineering and geological conditions for various technological operations at oil and gas wells is given: installation of drilling equipment, well construction, repair work on it, production intensification, etc. Authors’ solutions allow minimizing: excavation work on the construction of the foundation pit; impact on the environment; cost and terms of performance of works; use of special construction equipment. It is proposed, through the use of geosynthetic materials, to strengthen a weak soil mass and create an artificial base for the installation of prefabricated slabs, which in turn act as prefabricated foundations for the corresponding technological equipment and cover the platform for the movement of equipment. After the completion of technological operations at the well, the prefabricated elements of the foundations and the geosynthetic coating of the site are removed, and with minor reclamation work, the territory is used for agriculture. The level of reliability of the proposed solutions is substantiated depending on the time of technological operations and the level of complexity of engineering-geological conditions.
