Abstract: The article highlights the place of the oil and gas processing industry in improving the country's economy and the well-being of our people. Information was provided on vessels and apparatuses used in the oil and gas processing industry. Various holes for fittings, pipes, hatches, manholes, etc. are made in the shells, bottoms and other parts of these containers and apparatuses. It is noted that such holes weaken the corresponding wall of the vessel and apparatus, therefore, in many cases (especially with large hole diameters) they require strengthening. Attention is drawn to the fact that, taking into account the operating conditions of the vessel and the apparatus, the calculation and choice of a rational design for strengthening the holes in relation to the structural material and the type of load is of great importance for its reliability. The sequence of calculations for fixing the openings of vessels and apparatuses used in the oil and gas processing industry was also demonstrated. The conditions for fixing the hole are given. There are cases when the vessel and apparatus are destroyed with severe consequences due to incorrect calculation and choice of the design of strengthening holes in the walls of vessels and apparatuses. In this regard, an urgent issue is the further improvement of strengthening the openings of vessels and apparatuses, as well as the use of modern calculation methods using computers in this process. It was noted that special attention should be paid to improving the structure of strengthening holes in the walls of vessels and apparatuses, and using advanced computer calculation methods. The algorithm and the program were compiled in Python, and the result was obtained using the source data. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the results of the work on the topic " Numerical methods for calculating oil and gas processing vessels and apparatuses" can be used as the basis for theoretical research, analytical and design activities of authors studying this area. The second aspect of the practical significance of this study is the possibility of using the results of the study within the framework of the topic " Numerical methods for calculating oil and gas processing vessels and apparatuses" in order to develop the mechanism of functioning of the research object.
