The pipeline network currently covers 35% of the territory of our country, the population being more than 60 %. The contact of the population with the pipeline system will be continuously expanded, and, consequently, increases the danger of anthropogenic impact on people and natural areas.

The development of new oil fields requires the construction of pipeline systems for oil transportation. These tendencies are objectively accompanied by an increase in the volume of capital investments in production, as well as an increase in the possible damage caused by oil pipeline accidents. The main components of these damages are damage to the health and life of industrial personnel and the public, property losses, as well as pollution of the natural environment.

The damage from possible accidents is not limited to only these factors. Economic indicators are also important. Failures of major facilities that lead to shut downs in oil transportation or a partial decrease in oil extraction negatively affect the performance of the assigned function - supply of oil to consumers.

The economic efficiency of pipeline transport of oil is achieved through the increased use of equipment and facilities and reduction in capital and operating costs [3]. Failures of equipment and structures reduce the extent of their use and increase the cost of repairs. The result is economic losses.

Analysis of operational reliability indicators of existing pipelines shows that there is the need for further wider implementation of measures to improve pipeline reliability. These measures should be based on the progressive and well-examined methods and techniques. In addition, new methods that would take into account the latest achievements of science and technology should be also developed.
