From Minsk to Orenburg: the demand for supercomputer technologies

07.10.2026
Orenburg was one of the key industrial sites, the 19th specialized exhibition-forum "Gas. Oil. Orenburg". Thanks to the participation in the forum of the representative of the OIPI of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Sergei Viktorovich Medvedev, the chief researcher of the Laboratory of High-Performance Systems and Modeling Technologies, a new note, unusual for the conservative industry, sounded - the language of supercomputer modeling.  Immersion in the industry agenda began at the thematic section "Modern realities and topical issues of oil and gas producing and drilling service companies: solutions." Here Sergey Viktorovich presented the report "Supercomputer forecasting of performance and resource of elements of pipeline systems as a result of comparison of ideal and real states". The scientist clearly demonstrated how, with the help of high-performance computing, it is possible to create a "digital double" of an existing object. Having loaded the data of intra-pipe defectoscopy and geodesy into the supercomputer, the system compares the current, "real" state with the set "ideal" one. As a result, the industry receives an accurate mathematical forecast: determination of stress-strain states, taking into account the geomechanical conditions of the location and internal pressure of the transported medium, how many months or years the pipe section will last under the current load and when its repair will become economically impractical. For mining companies of Orenburg, such an instrument is a direct way to prevent man-made accidents and optimize budgets for capital repairs. A rich discussion took place at the technological section "The concept of quality and the role of standardization in regulating the quality of engineering products using the example of pipeline fittings". The second report by Sergey Viktorovich - "Distributed system of supercomputer modeling of dynamic processes of the machine-building profile" was prepared in co-authorship with Oleg Petrovich Chizh, head of the laboratory of high-performance systems and modeling technologies of OIPI of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Using specific examples, Sergey Viktorovich showed how a supercomputer simulates dynamic processes, presented 20 years of theoretical and applied experience in the creation and effective use of supercomputer technologies for predictive modeling of technical objects and systems, and demonstrated the possibility of using distributed computing within the framework of adequate digital twins for current tasks in the oil and gas sector. The report aroused the keenest interest of specialists. The presented Belarusian scientific developments confirmed the fact that fundamental science is ready to give the industry the tools for this breakthrough. And the industry is ready to use them.
