A case study on upgrading earthing system of Isfahan petroleum reservoirs

Considering the high number of fires that occurred due to lightning strikes and electric charges in the oil reservoirs of our country, in this paper, the present scheme of a sample of oil reservoirs in the company of oil and gas pipelines in Isfahan region was discussed and criticized. By measuring the soil specific strength and other parameters required for the land system, its modeling and simulation in the CYMGRD software environment were performed and the disadvantages of it were investigated and the optimal design was selected and recommended according to the environmental conditions and observance of the considerations. In addition, various possible ways to deal with the fire hazard of reservoirs were investigated and recommendations were made to optimize the connectivity and potentiality of different components of the reservoirs and how to use them to reduce the possibility of fire and fire oil reservoirs. The results of this study indicate that lightning and static safety does not depend much on the reservoir's land system, and the methods and methods of connecting and potentiating the reservoir components, especially the floating roof and the type of exploitation of oil storage tanks, are of great importance
