Compared with thermal decarboxylation reactions of petroleum acids, the decarboxylation reactions by acid catalysts were easier to occur. The decarboxylaton effect by Lewis acid was better than Bronsted acid. The mechanisms of catalytic decarboxylation over acid catalyst were also verified by experiments on a fixed bed and a fluidized bed, the experimental results showed that the rate of acid removal could reach up to 97% over the acidic catalyst at a temperature above 400℃.展开更多

A good reservoir characterization is deemed essential in the accomplishment of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes in order to estimate accurately the properties of the porous medium affecting the flow properties. Several techniques at a field scale are currently being used to determine these properties, which are time and money consuming. But these alone do not guarantee the success of the project. Reservoir simulation and numerical techniques were then included in the pre-development and follow-up studies as an effective tool to determine the productivity and future behavior of the oil field. As the computational power increased, more advanced and detailed models were developed, including different chemical and physical phenomena. But alongside this process, there was an active research in the area of reservoir simulation, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical schemes used for the flow, transport, and energy equations. The aim of this review is to address the topics described. Firstly, the origin of an oil recovery process, the economic factors and field tests involved are introduced. Secondly, the oil and porous medium origin and characterization as well as an introduction to the fundamental concepts and equations are associated to reservoir simulation. Finally, a brief description and analysis of the techniques are used in reservoir simulation employing finite difference methods, their downsides and possible ways to overcome these problems.展开更多

The model consists of a number of field and zone sub-models which are used to simulate the various physical phenomena taking place during the tank engulfment period. The model can be used to predict the pressure and temperature of the LPG in the tank, the temperature of the wall of tank, and the time of tank explosion. The comparisons between the model predicted results and the test data show good agreement. The results show that the jet fire partially impinging on tank wall led to higher wall temperature and the time to failure was shorter than that in engulfing pool fire. And the exposure of the upper wall in the vapor zone to the fire is more dangerous than that of the LPG contacted wall.展开更多

Properly choosing a good preconditioner has been beyond the pure algebraic field. An integrated preconditioner should include such components as physical background, characteristics of PDE mathematical model, nonlinear solving method, linear solving algorithm, domain decomposition and parallel computation. We first discuss some parallel preconditioning techniques, and then construct an integrated preconditioner, which is based on large scale distributed parallel processing, and reservoir simulation-oriented. The infrastructure of this preconditioner contains such famous preconditioning construction techniques as coarse grid correction, constraint residual correction and subspace projection correction. We essentially use multi-step means to integrate totally eight types of preconditioning components in order to give out the final preconditioner. Million-grid cell scale industrial reservoir data were tested on native high performance computers. Numerical statistics and analyses show that this preconditioner achieves satisfying parallel efficiency and acceleration effect.展开更多
