One of the major problems faced by the oilfields in the middle time is casing damage. The neural network, the improvement BP as well as the three-layer feed forward neural network applied in damage diagnosis is a key way to prevent damage. The formations of the damage are corresponded to the input vector. Factors such as casing age limit, strata stress, soaking time are described as real Number...

The present study explains a steady-state method of measuring convective heat transfer coefficient on the casing of an axial flow turbine. The goal is to develop an accurate steadystate heat transfer method for the comparison of various casing surface and tip designs used for turbine performance improvements. The free-stream reference temperature, especially in the tip gap region of the casing ...

In this paper, a simulation-based method is proposed for optimal placement of vibration sensors for the purpose of fault detection in a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is modeled to investigate the effect of vane tip fault on fluid flow patterns numerically. Pressure pulsations are investigated at different locations at the inner surface of the pump before and after the presence of the f...

Public concerns about oil and natural gas extraction these days inevitably turn to hydraulic fracturing, where millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals are pumped underground at high pressures to crack open rocks. Hydraulic fracturing often occurs a mile or more down, far from the water we drink or the air we breathe. The focus for safety and environmental stewardship should often be s...

An ultrasonic testing method employing the pulse-echo inspection technique was developed to assess the integrity of annular seals surrounding casings (i.e.. instrument tubes or well casings). This nondestructive testing method permits testing aseal from inside acasing without disturbing the casing, seal. or formation. Seals constructed with cement-based and bentonite-based sealants surrounding ...

Most salt rock has interbed of mudstone in China. Owing to the enormous difference of mechanical properties between the mudstone interbed and salt rock, the stress-strain and creep behaviors of salt rock are significantly influenced by neighboring mudstone interbed. In order to identify the rules of wellbore shrinkage and casings equivalent stress in bedded salt rock stratum, three-dimensional ...

Supplementation of mushroom compost at spawning and at casing with various refined and crude seed oils resulted in 1 to 1.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Supplementation at casing with ground seeds or protein-oil combinations caused 2 to 2.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Further evidence is presented for a relationship between lipid metabolism and the initiation of fruiting in the cul...

The casing deformation problems are presented over 36 wells (among 112 horizontal wells by 2016) during fracturing processes in Weiyuan-Changning shale gas play in China.1 Subsequent tools could be blocked in the wellbore.2–4 The segments with serious deformation had to be abandoned before completing fracturing operations.5 The casing deformation issues make a great influence on production of s...
