2025.01.30 18:50 Kylenki Looming Russian Hydrocarbon Cascade Failures - Argument and Questions
We've all seen the Bingo card with the oil & gas plants crossed off. But what effect does this have overall on the industry?
First, I'm not a process engineer or anything like that, but I did work in the industry for almost a decade and a half. These are just my own observations. I'm not pulling this from any other source. Just my experience in the industry. If I'm in error, please do correct me. I'm looking for people with more experience and training than me to weigh in and comment.
So, let us get to it.
Thing with refineries is, they need nearly constant uptime to run well into the future. Each shut down for repairs eats at the lifespan of practically every component in their refining chain--product condenses, things rust, seals leak, valves seize and freeze, etc.
From an engineering and process perspective, damage to multiple refineries in an interconnected system can create cascading effects, even on facilities that haven't been directly attacked. Reasons:
- Integration and Interdependence Oil refineries typically operate as part of an integrated network, sharing:
- Pipeline infrastructure
- Storage facilities
- Distribution networks
- Specialized processing units that handle specific crude grades or products
- System Stress When significant capacity is suddenly taken offline:
- Remaining refineries often need to process different crude grades than they're optimized for
- Storage and pipeline systems become bottlenecked
- Maintenance schedules get disrupted as facilities try to compensate for lost capacity
- Mechanical Impact The constant operation principle is crucial. When refineries need to run above their optimal capacity to compensate for lost production, they:
- Process crude grades they weren't designed for
- Defer maintenance to maintain output This can lead to accelerated wear and increased risk of mechanical failures, even in undamaged facilities.
- Supply Chain Effects The damage to transit stations and infrastructure compounds these issues:
- Even undamaged refineries may struggle to receive crude or ship products
- Alternative routing often means operating outside design parameters
- Emergency rerouting can stress pipelines and storage systems not designed for altered flow patterns
- Maintenance Capabilities With multiple facilities requiring repairs simultaneously:
- Specialized maintenance crews and parts become scarce
- Regular maintenance at undamaged facilities may be delayed
- This can create a maintenance deficit that affects system reliability
If sustained disruption and attacks continue, several serious sustained and systemic failures become increasingly likely:
Pipeline Systems: - Pressure fluctuations from irregular refinery operations can cause fatigue in pipeline infrastructure - When pipelines operate outside their design parameters (flow rates, pressures, temperatures), the risk of rupture increases significantly - Emergency shutdowns and restarts put additional stress on these systems - The Russian winter adds another layer of risk - thermal cycling on stressed systems is particularly dangerous
Facility Operations: - Critical equipment like catalytic crackers, hydrotreaters, and distillation columns require precise operating conditions - Running these units harder or with suboptimal feedstock accelerates wear on seals, valves, and heat exchangers - Once key components fail, entire process trains may need to shut down - Without proper parts inventory, what would normally be a brief maintenance issue becomes a long-term shutdown
Storage and Transfer: - Tank farms and intermediate storage become critical chokepoints - Pressure relief systems and emergency shutdown capabilities may be compromised if repeatedly stressed - Transfer stations running beyond capacity face increased risk of mechanical failure
The compounding nature of these issues means that as more facilities face disruption, the strain on remaining infrastructure increases exponentially. Each emergency shutdown or operational adjustment puts more stress on an already strained system. The risk profile doesn't increase linearly - it tends to follow a hockey stick curve where past a certain point, cascading failures become much more likely.
Their entire industry is in mortal peril from these attacks, unless I've missed something.
Thanks for reading!

2025.01.30 18:50 mrTee1120 CMA/CGM Injury settlement?
Hey everyone; I was injured on a container vessel of the company mentioned in the title. My injuries have put me out of work for a year, surgery on both shoulders, back & neck problems & physical therapy for at least another year. May or may not be able to return to sea depending on pt. Company was at fault here, which they haven’t denied. Anyone know how much they offer for settlement of these type of injuries? I know if I can’t return to work the number goes up. I figure a lawyer would need to be involved if they offer low. But I’m hoping a lawyer won’t need to be involved if the offer is satisfactory. Thanks guys.

2025.01.30 18:50 Morios VLC on Android stuck searching
I've recently moved all my music on to an sd card from my phone due to space.
The folder I moved them to was already known by VLC and already had some albums in it, however now if is refusing to find any of the moved files.
I have cleared the cache and even tried restarting the phone and reinstalling VLC, so now I have no music and a it is just constantly searching
Does anyone know how this might be resolved?

My mum has stage 4 lunger cancer and she might want to stop the treatment soon. The chemo is taking its toll on her body, she feels really comfortable and horrible after chemo. I dont want to see her suffer. We ve talked about it at times , and i understand. From the looks if she stops chemo maybe longest we have 5 month left. Just as im typing i cant stop crying i have been crying for the past 2 week , by myself at night because i dont wan to upset her. I know i will let her go but just this sad thoughts linger and i just cant stop crying.

2025.01.30 18:50 anglomike Sleep mask for side sleeper with nasal CPAP mask
When sleeping at home I have fairly good blackout blinds, sleep with earplugs and a dreamwear nasal mask. When travelling the blackout blinds are rarely good, so I'd like a sleep mask. I'm a side sleeper.
In the past I've tried the Manta slim and nidra masks. Both were okay (I lost the manta somehow). Any suggestions that will work with the nasal mask for a side sleeper?

Sziasztok,
Kérdésem a címben említett ELTE IK mesterszakjáról lenne, mégpedig a következők: - Lehet-e értelmesen teljesíteni full-time állás mellett? - Számonkérések milyen formában történnek (moodle/irl)? - Van-e értelme ennek a szaknak ha minimálisabb karrierút váltást szeretnék? - Viszonylag releváns tudást hivatott átadni az industry experience-hez képest?
Jelenleg amúgy kb 4-4.5 évnyi DevOps tapasztalatom van, viszont szerintem érdekelne a ML, Robotika illetve a Data Science, ezért is gondolkodom ilyesmi képzésen. Előre is köszi a válaszaitokat :)

2025.01.30 18:50 AdCurrent1470 Question about capping naps
So my LO woke up at 6 am today but she also went to bed early.
Anyways first nap my mom let her sleep for 1.5 So from 9-10:30
Next nap is at 2 Ideally I would want her to nap under 2 hours total but how do I do this and keep the second nap short and make it to bedtime?? I don’t want her to be over tired. If I cut her nap to 30 minutes she would go to bed at 6:30??? That doesn’t make sense..
She’s 10 months

I woke up this morning to my belly button piercing looking like this! This is my second time getting it done the first time it got caught and ripped out so the skin it’s pierced under was most likely scar tissue but it’s been about 3 months and I’ve had no issue it’s been healing well I’m doing everything right and then boom today it looks like this and I really don’t want to take it out it’s my dream piercing. Please help me let me know what do to!
