Abstract Data-driven methods serve as robust tools to turn data into knowledge. Historical generally has not been used in an effective way analyzing processes due lack of a well-organized data, where there is huge potential turning terabytes With the advances and implementation data-driven models have become more widely-used analysis, predictive modeling, control optimization several processes. Yet, industry overall still skeptical on use methods, since they are data-based solutions rather...
This paper aimed to screen the potential species suitable for ecological restoration and slope stability from local natural growing plants in China Loess Plateau under a semiarid climate. As part of field investigations plants, species, which are candidates stability, were nominated hilly-gullied region Yan'an area. The results showed that Artemisia spp. is best candidate form stable root-soil composite system support loose loess reinforce soil, particularly as pioneer plant initial stage...
Drilling through active shale formations has been a challenging practice in the oil and gas industry for long period of time, given complexity structure its interaction with Water Based Muds (WBMs). Although there have many additives methodologies proposed safe drilling using WBMs, little success reported to application these methods once tested under different field conditions. In this paper, new WBM formulated by nanomaterials was stabilize layers during drilling. A series rheological,...
Abstract Most of drilling hole problems are attributed to wellbore stability issues which adversely cause excessive lost time and cost millions dollars. The past experiences in Kupal oilfield showed mud losses, kick flows, tight holes pipe stuck leading repeated reaming, fishing sidetracking. the drilling-associated this field occurred during 12 ¼-in. hole, is across non-reservoir Gachsaran formation (consisting anhydrite, gypsum marl with thin limestone layers). Mainly due lack required...
Abstract Proper selection of the drilling parameters and dynamic behavior is a critical factor in improving performance efficiency. Therefore, development an efficient artificial intelligence (AI) method to predict appropriate control for optimization. The AI approach presented this paper uses power optimized neural networks (ANNs) model non-linear, multi-input/output system. optimization was achieved by optimizing controllers (combined genetic algorithm (GA) pattern search (PS)) reach...
Many parameters have been indicated crucial for the selection of a saline aquifer as carbon dioxide (CO2) storage site. However, less attention has given to impact heterogeneity on performance these media. Thus, effect was evaluated in this paper by adopting numerical modeling approach and existing screening criterion developed aquifers updated. The updated CO2 purpose would enhance confidence level during deep thus, help address climate change issue. carried out via CO2STORE module...
With the rapid development of subway systems, negative environmental impacts vibration induced by subways has gradually become a research hotspot. For purpose developing predictive models and designing effective mitigation continuous field dynamic measurements were conducted simultaneously in tunnel, ground, building eastern China, most prosperous region China. The characteristics transmission attenuation analyzed statistical analysis large amounts measurement data. results showed that...
Pipeline pressure monitoring has been the traditional and most popular leak detection approach, however, delays with localization coupled large number of false alarms led to development other sensor-based technologies. The Real Time Transient Model (RTTM) currently best performance metric, but it requires collection analysis data volume which, in turn, an impact speed. Several mining (DM) methods have used for algorithm each having its own advantages shortcomings. Mathematical modelling is...
There have been many attempts to improve the filtration control of water based muds under High Pressure Temperature (HPHT) condition using a cost effective approach. Nano particles are perhaps best option considering their successful applications reported in studies. However, they often expensive and pose unfavourably changes on rheology muds. In this paper, an attempt was made show application Glass Flakes (NGFs) as cheap but nano particle HPHT conditions. Performing series rheology,...
The conventional Mohr–Coulomb (M–C) failure criterion is not suitable for judging behaviors of a hydrate-bearing sediment (HBS) as result the variation its mechanical properties with clay content and hydrate saturation. Although some modified M–C criteria have been proposed by previous scholars, effect on strength was considered. In this paper, we carried out series triaxial shear tests to analyze saturation HBS. On basis experimental results, new HBS proposed, in which influence results...
Abstract CO 2 storage in different geological formations has been recognized as one of the promising mitigation approaches to reduce emission into atmosphere. There are many complex hydro‐chemo‐mechanical interactions (effective stress changes, water acidification, and mineral dissolution) that may take place a site during or after injection, reducing integrity short long term. Although there have several studies carried out past assess feasibility sandstones limestone safe site, effect...
