Application of gap element to nonlinear mechanics analysis of drillstring

This paper presents a nonlinear finite element method to resolve the problem of the nonlinear contact between the drillstring and hole wall by using a Multi-directional Contact Gap Element (MCGE) contacting at appropriate positions in each beam element. The method was successfully applied to the Daqing Oil Field GP1 well. It was shown that the drillstring's contact resistance at any well depth could be obtained by calculations and that as the error in the calculation of the hole top load is below 10%, the calculation result can provide theoretical basis for the design and operation of drillstrings.

Selective Oxidation of Propane by Lattice Oxygen of Vanadium-Phosphorous Oxide in a Pulse Reactor

Selective oxidation of propane by lattice oxygen of vanadium-phosphorus oxide(VPO) catalysts was investigated with a pulse reactor in which the oxidation of propane and there-oxidation of catalyst were implemented alternately in the presence of water vapor. The principalproducts are acrylic acid (AA), acetic acid (HAc), and carbon oxides. In addition, small amounts ofC_1 and C_2 hydrocarbons were also found, molar ratio of AA to HAc is 1.4-2.2. The active oxygenspecies are those adsorbed on catalyst surface firmly and/or bound to catalyst lattice, i.e. latticeoxygen; the selective oxidation of propane on VPO catalysts can be carried out in a circulatingfluidized bed (CFB) riser reactor. For propane oxidation over VPO catalysts, the effects of reactiontemperature in a pulse reactor were found almost the same as in a steady-state flow reactor. Thatis, as the reaction temperature increases, propane conversion and the amount of C_1+C_2 hydrocarbonsin the product increase steadily, while selectivity to acrylic acid and to acetic acid increaseprior to 350℃ then begin to drop at temperatures higher than 350℃, and yields of acrylic acid andof acetic acid attained maximum at about 400℃. The maximum yields of acrylic acid and of aceticacid for a single-pass are 7.50% and 4.59% respectively, with 38.2% propane conversion. When theamount of propane pulsed decreases or the amount of catalyst loaded increases, the conversionincreases but the selectivity decreases. Increasing the flow rate of carrier gases causes theconversion pass through a minimum but selectivity and yields pass through a maximum. In a fixed bedreactor, it is hard to obtain high selectivity at a high reaction conversion due to the furtherdegradation of acrylic acid and acetic acid even though propane was oxidized by the lattice oxygen.The catalytic performance can be improved in the presence of excess propane. Propylene can beoxidized by lattice oxygen of VPO catalyst at 250℃, nevertheless, selectivity to AA and to HAc areeven lower, much more acetic acid was produced (molar ratio of AA to HAc is 0.19:1-0.83:1) thoughthe oxidation products are the same as from propane.

A New Mathematical Simulation Approach for Thermal Cracking Furnace Studies

Thermal cracking of hydrocarbons for olefin production is normally carried out in long reactor tubes suspended in a large gas fired furnace. In this paper, a coupled furnace-reactor mathematical model based on a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique is developed to simulate the complex fluid dynamics phenomena in the thermal cracking furnace. The model includes mass transfer, momentum transfer, and heat transfer, as well as thermal cracking reactions, fuel combustion and radiative heat transfer. The rationality and reliability of the mathematical model is confirmed by the approximate agreement of predicted data and industrial data. The coupled furnace-reactor simulation revealed the details of both the transfer and reaction processes taking place in the thermal cracking furnace. The results indicate highly nonuniform distribution of the flue-gas velocity, concentration and temperature in the furnace, which cause nonuniform distribution of tube skin temperature and heat flux of the reactor tubes. Profiles of oil-gas velocity, pressure, temperature and product yields in the lengthwise direction of the reactor tube are obtained. Furthermore, in the radial direction steep velocity and temperature gradients and relatively slight gradients of species concentration are found. In conclusion, the model can provide more information on the fluid dynamics and reaction behavior in the thermal cracking furnace, and guidance for the design and improvement of thermal cracking furnaces.

Robust L_1 filtering with pole constraint in a disk via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions

The problem of robust L 1 filtering with pole constraint in a disk for linear continuous polytopic uncertain systems is discussed. The attention is focused on design a linear asymptotically stable filter such that the filtering error system remains robustly stable, and has a L 1 performance constraint and pole constraint in a disk. The new robust L 1 performance criteria and regional pole placement condition are obtained via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions method. Upon the proposed multiobjective performance criteria and by means of LMI technique, both full-order and reduced-order robust L 1 filter with suitable dynamic behavior can be obtained from the solution of convex optimization problems. Compared with earlier result in the quadratic framework, this approach turns out to be less conservative. The efficiency of the proposed technique is demonstrated by a numerical example.

Effect of Rare Earth Element on Formation and Propagation of Thermal Fatigue Crack in Low-Chromium Semi-Steel

The formation and growth of thermal fatigue crack in low-chromium semi-steel were investigated by means of optical microscope and scanning electron microscope, and the function of RE in low-chromium semi-steel was analyzed. The results show that the thermal fatigue cracks are mainly generated at eutectic carbides, and the cracks not only grow and spread but also join each other. RE can improve the eutectic carbide′s morphology, inhibit the generation and propagation of thermal fatigue cracks, and therefore promote the activation energy for the crack′s propagation, which is especially more noticeable in case of the RE modification in combination with heat treatment. The mathematical model of the crack propagation is put forward.

The Mechanism and Usage for Enhanced Oil Recovery by Chemotaxis of Bacterium BS2

Due to its chemotaxis, the motion ability of bacterium BS2 is very strong, and under the microscope, the distribution grads of bacterium concentration can be seen at the oil-water interface.During the experiments in glass box, it can be observed, with eyes, because of the chemotaxis, that muddy gets thicker and thicker at the interface gradually, and it is measured there, from sampling, that the bacterium concentration is 10 9 cells/mL, pH value 4.4 and the concentration of bio-surfactant 2.87%; The microbial oil-displacement experiments are carried out in emulational network models, and the oil-displacement mechanism by the bacterium and its metabolizing production is studied. And, during oil-displacement experiments in the gravel-input glass models, because of the profile control of thalli and the production, the sweep area of subsequent waterflood becomes wider, which can be seen with eyes and the recovery is enhanced by 13.6%. Finally, the successful field test is introduced in brief: the ratio of response producers is 85.7%, and the water-cut degrades by 6.4%, while 20038 t oil has increased in accumulative total in 2 years.

PRESSURE TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF HETEROGENOUS RESERVOIRS WITH IMPERMEABILITY BARRIER USING PERTURBATION BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD

The transient flow mathematical model of arbitrary shaped heterogeneous reservoirs with impermeability barrier is proposed in this paper. In order to establish this model, the perturbation method is employed and the solution of model is expanded into a series in powers of perturbation parameter. By using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Duhamel principle, wellbore pressure with effects of skins and wellbore storage is obtained. The type curves are plotted and analyzed considering effects of heterogeneity, arbitrary shape and impermeable barriers. Finally, the results obtained by perturbation boundary element method is compared with the analytical solution and is available for the transient pressure analysis of arbitrary shaped reservoirs.

AN UNSTEADY SEEPAGE FLOW MODEL OF VISCO-ELASTIC POLYMER SOLUTION

With the consideration of the visco―elasticity, the adsorption effect andthe variation of rheological parameters, a seepage flow model of visco-elastic polymer solutions wasestablished. The model was numerically treated with the finite difference method. Then curves ofBottom Hole Pressure (BHP) and formation pressure were drawn. The influences of the relaxation time,the injection rate, the permeability reduction coefficient, the consistency coefficient and thepower-law exponent of the injected fluid on pressure performance were analyzed. This study showsthat it is necessary to consider the visco-elasticity of non-Newtonian fluid in analyzing ofpressure performance in the polymer flooding.

THE PRODUCTIVITY OF WELL PATTERN WITH HORIZONTAL WELLS AND VERTICAL WELLS

The calculation of productivity and the choice of well pattern of mixedhorizontal and vertical wells were discussed in this paper. Because the naturall drainage areas ofhorizontal wells are oval rather than circular, rectangular drainage well patterns should beadopted. Using pseudo 3-di-mensional method and conformal transformation, the potential function ofa row of horizontal wells was deduced. Using this function and the superposition principle, ananalytical solution of the productivity for the rectangular mixed well pattern was given.Quantitative means for defining the shapes of the optimum pattern were developed in this paper byintroducing two dimensionless parameters, the shape factor and dimensionless length of horizontalwell. The formula for productvity was used to optimize the mixed well patterns. The curves of theoptimized shape factor against dimensionless length of horizontal well were drawn. The results showthat the pattern area and formation thickness have no effect on the optimal shape factors and can beapplied to the design of development for oil fields.
