A New Optical Cable Communications Project

A key project of the state, the Beijing-Taiyuan-Xi’an optical cable communications trunk, is one of the 22 optical cables planned to be laid by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications during the Eighth Five Year. Plan. This communication cable trunk covers a distance of 1771 km, starting from Beijing and going via Hebei and Shanxi to Xi’an in Shaanxi, linking two provincial capitals, one municipality directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, seven other cities and 32 counties.

Development and prospect of downhole monitoring and data transmission technology for separated zone water injection

This article outlines the development of downhole monitoring and data transmission technology for separated zone water injection in China.According to the development stages,the principles,operation processes,adaptability and application status of traditional downhole data acquisition method,cable communications and testing technology,cable-controlled downhole parameter real-time monitoring communication method and downhole wireless communication technology are introduced in detail.Problems and challenges of existing technologies in downhole monitoring and data transmission technology are pointed out.According to the production requirement,the future development direction of the downhole monitoring and data transmission technology for separated zone water injection is proposed.For the large number of wells adopting cable measuring and adjustment technology,the key is to realize the digitalization of downhole plug.For the key monitoring wells,cable-controlled communication technology needs to be improved,and downhole monitoring and data transmission technology based on composite coiled tubing needs to be developed to make the operation more convenient and reliable.For large-scale application in oil fields,downhole wireless communication technology should be developed to realize automation of measurement and adjustment.In line with ground mobile communication network,a digital communication network covering the control center,water distribution station and oil reservoir should be built quickly to provide technical support for the digitization of reservoir development.

Engineering costs proxy models for China rural access network and its application

The article builds three engineering rural access network models that describe the structure of network elements and their relative engineering parameters for cable access, synchronous code division multiple access（SCDMA）, and very small aperture terminal （VSAT） access technologies in the rural areas of China. Of the three access technologies, cable access and SCDMA access are the most popular access technologies. Besides, there still exist some remote special areas such as western mountain areas, whose natural environment is so bad that VSAT becomes the unique economical access way. Fully considering rural areas＇ geographical environments＇ impact, the article introduces geographical revised factor （GRF） to the models. By substituting the network data from the operators into the models, the article obtains the integrated networking values and does further researches on different access networks.
