Abstract:
This paper mainly discusses the feasibility on direct commissioning for Western Products Oil Pipeline. This pipeline begins from Wangjiagou, Wulumuqi City, Xinjiang, ends in Xigu, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province with a total length of 1858 km and diameter from 508 to 559 mm. The author considers the direct commissioning program as an available one, but the technology issues should be solved in oil-head protection, venting along the whole line, test of automatic control system and high elevation/slack flow, and proposes feasible control measures for the direct commissioning program of Western Products Oil Pipeline.
