ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Contact zone of the pipes in a jacking pipeline is one of the critical points which decide on the distance which may be drilled form one well do another. The problem of a local crushing capacity in this zone of two jacking pipes is presented in the paper. Standard calculations indicate too optimistic values of the local crushing capacity for this particular case which was concluded from a numerical analysis. This analysis was preformed on three dimensional model with use of finite element method.
