The presented article undertakes a detailed analysis of the reasons for failures in underground and above-ground pipelines. The analysis is based on the processing of inspection results of the technical condition of sections of gas pipelines laid above ground, with a total length of approximately 500 km. The comparative basis used is the failure statistics of underground pipelines provided by the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological, and Nuclear Supervision. The conducted diagnostics identified key types of unacceptable defects leading to failures in the operation of above-ground gas pipelines. A detailed comparison with the most common causes of failures in underground pipelines has also been carried out. This analysis sets the task for engineers to develop effective maintenance strategies and prevent failures in the gas transportation infrastructure, which is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of the energy complex.
