First...Injection of water to enhance oil production is commonplace, and improvements in understanding the process are economically important. This study examines predictive models of the injection-to-production ratio. Firstly, the error between the fitting and actual injection-production ratio is calculated with such methods as the injection-production ratio and water-oil ratio method, the material balance method, the multiple regression method, the gray theory GM (1,1) model and the back-propogation (BP) neural network method by computer applications in this paper. The relative average errors calculated are respectively 1.67%, 1.08%, 19.2%, 1.38% and 0.88%. Secondly, the reasons for the errors from different prediction methods are analyzed theoretically, indicating that the prediction precision of the BP neural network method is high, and that it has a better self-adaptability, so that it can reflect the internal relationship between the injection-production ratio and the influencing factors. Therefore, the BP neural network method is suitable to the prediction of injection-production ratio.展开更多

The raw sensor signal of the vortex flowmeter was adaptively decomposed into intrinsic mode functions using the empirical mode decomposition approach. Based on the empirical mode decomposition results, the energy of each intrinsic mode function was extracted, and the vortex energy ratio was proposed to analyze how the perturbation in the flow affected the measurement performance of the vortex flowmeter. The relationship between the vortex energy ratio of the signal and the flow condition was established. The results show that the vortex energy ratio is sensitive to the flow condition and ideal for the characterization of the vortex flowmeter signal. Moreover, the vortex energy ratio under normal flow condition is greater than 80%, which can be adopted as an indicator to diagnose the state of a vortex flowmeter.展开更多

Accordingly,the islanding can be detected by monitoring the frequency within 0.1 s.The simulation results prove that this algorithm has extremely small non-detection zone,and meanwhile it presents an excellent islanding detection speed as well.展开更多

It estimates the DOA by measuring the reciprocal of the phase range of the sensor output spectra at the interest frequency bin. The peak width and variance of the PDM are presented. The PDM can distinguish closely spaced sources with different and unknown center frequencies as long as they are separated with at least one frequency bin. The simulation results show that the PDM has a better resolution than that of the conventional beamforming.展开更多

In this paper, a new process monitoring approach based on noisy time structure ICA(Noisy TSICA) is proposed to solve such problem. A Noisy TSICA algorithm which can consider the measurement noises explicitly is firstly developed to estimate the mixing matrix and extract the independent components(ICs). Subsequently, a monitoring statistic is built to detect process faults on the basis of the recursive kurtosis estimations of the dominant ICs. Lastly, a contribution plot for the monitoring statistic is constructed to identify the fault variables based on the sensitivity analysis. Simulation studies on the continuous stirred tank reactor system demonstrate that the proposed Noisy TSICA-based monitoring method outperforms the conventional Fast ICA-based monitoring method.展开更多

Kernel ICA is an improvement of independent component analysis (ICA), and is different from kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) proposed for nonlinear process monitoring. The basic idea of our approach is to use the kernel ICA to extract independent components efficiently and to combine the selected essential independent components with process monitoring techniques. 12 (the sum of the squared independent scores) and squared prediction error (SPE) charts are adopted as statistical quantities. The proposed monitoring method is applied to Tennessee Eastman process, and the simulation results clearly show the advantages of kernel ICA monitoring in comparison to ICA monitoring.展开更多

It shows that the fracture process at the stage of stripping (initialization) of crack can be characterized by Critical Fracture Diagram (CFD). Calculating and experimental way to construct CFD is suggested and discussed. The fracture resistance requirements for oil & gas pipes in terms of fracture mechanics (Kc, Lc) are formulated and proved. The results of full scale hydraulic pressure pipe testing, based on metal testing data of the standard Charpy specimens (KCV) and pipe's specification requirements are interrelated. The way to estimate the admissible temperature operation conditions of oil & gas pipes by means of based metal "KCV-temperature" dependence is proposed.展开更多
