Abstract In the process of oilfield development, formation pressure is an essential parameter for evaluating oilfield development effect, calculating dynamic geological reserves, conducting daily dynamic analysis of oil and water Wells and predicting oilfield performance. The pressure recovery time of conventional gas well after shut-in is very long, and it is difficult to effectively carry out targeted implementation due to the influence of gas field external supply task. In this paper, based on the actual data of Jingbian gas field, through the comparison of several calculation methods of formation pressure, the best method to calculate formation pressure is comprehensively screened out. The results show that: ①For a single method, the accuracy of the method from high to low is the well head casing pressure conversion method, the pressure drop curve method, the binomial productivity equation method, and the quasi-steady state mathematical model method.②The absolute error of multi-method comprehensive calculation method is 0.9MPa, which is far less than the average absolute error directly calculated by one method. The multi-method comprehensive calculation method is reliable when applied to the formation pressure evaluation of typical gas Wells in Jingbian gas field, which lacks data.

There is a common problem during kill a well, which is how to quickly and accurately control the surface casing pressure according to the requirements for killing a well. A step-by-step exploration process is employed on operation sites. Continuously adjusting throttle valve to acquire surface casing pressure may lead to failure of kill operation because of its long time and low control accuracy. Obviously, if the calculation problems of throttling drawdown can be resolved,the relationship between drawdown and throttle valve opening can be found and the course of explorating can be converted into a straight course.Then the success rate of killing well can be improved. More importantly, this can make automatic controll of surface casing pressure possible. The paper built the calculation method of throttling pressure drop by theoretical analysis and verified the calculation method by adopting it into field test. The result has showed that the calculation method of throttling pressure drop coincides with experimental results and it can be used in engineering practice.

<p>Motivated by the establishment of a Ferry-Free E39 coastal highway route, crack width calculation methods for design of large-scale concrete structures are discussed. It is argued that the current semi-empirical formulas recommended by Eurocode 2 is inconsistent and overly conservative for cross sections with large bar diameters and covers. A suggestion to formulating a more consistent crack width calculation method is given.</p>

Abstract A decommissioning and abandonment requirement to shear 9 5/8-inch casing in certain circumstances with a 13 5/8-inch × 10,000 psi rated working pressure, RWP, Shear RAM type blowout preventer, BOP, resulted in a need to develop a novel casing shear device and shear calculation method. Results of shear testing, future engineering planning guidance, the new shear calculation method, and comparison to legacy technology are included in this paper. Interaction with the end user to understand requirements, a five-step problem solving procedure, a basis of design process, materials justification, verification analysis, validation testing, and describing an improved shear operator force/pressure calculation are all described. Shear larger casing in the required and restrictive RAM BOP and well bore presented a problematic challenge. Equally, tubular fish size was required to support fishing extraction operations following shear. Validation test results exceeded requirements and resulted in the need for a new approach to the shear calculation method. The novel shear RAM geometry was developed utilizing shear calculation methods which were based on legacy considerations. API 16A shear validation procedures and two legacy shear calculation methods where employed. Shear calculations are used to anticipate the RAM BOP operator pressures required to shear a specific tubular. The larger than historically allowed casing size to be sheared in a 13 5/8-inch × 10,000 psi RAM BOP meant higher operator pressures were anticipated for each operator option. A Novel shear RAM geometry was developed as a design intent to lower shear force/pressure. There was an observation during validation testing that the geometry exceeded expectations to lower shear pressure significantly. This observation led to a conclusion that an improved shear calculation method was required for this application. This novel calculation method description / statistical treatment, test results, RAM design methods, and tabular shear engineering planning information are included in this paper. One additional requirement of the shear RAM geometry was to provide an upper and lower fish deformed surface which could be easily retrieved thru the 13 5/8-inch BOP bore. An additional observation was that the fish width requirement was achieved. The novel shear calculation method allows an engineer to precisely plan for bonnet actuation pressures when larger casing is sheared. The precise calculation of shear force/pressure also assists with BOP operator size and type selection. The engineer will gain casing size versus shear pressure for specific operator options in tabular format. Planners will gain insight into tubular fish deformation estimation allowing mitigation of tubular extraction risk during operations planning.

Based on the experiment results of five plain steel plate-light weight concrete hollow deck specimens, the design methods of the composite decks which mainly including the calculation method of the bearing capacity and calculation method of the flexural rigidity were introduced. In the paper, the bearing capacity and flexural rigidity of the composite at two orthogonal directions, which including the direction parallel to the pipes and the direction perpendicular to the pipes, were both introduced. The calculation results of the bearing capacity and middle-span deflection were in good agreement with those of the experimental results, and in the return calculation methods were verified. Therefore, the design methods and calculation methods were useful to the design of this new type composite deck.

Purpose By using small reference samples, the calculation method of confidence value and prediction method of confidence interval for multi-input system are investigated. The purpose of this paper is to offer effective assessing methods of confidence value and confidence interval for the simulation models used in establishing guidance and control systems. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, first, an improved cluster estimation method is proposed to guide the selection of the small reference samples. Then, based on analytic hierarchy process method, the new calculation method of the weight of each reference sample is derived. By using the grey relation analysis method, new calculation methods of the correlation coefficient and confidence value are presented. Moreover, the confidence interval of the sample awaiting assessment is defined. A new prediction method is derived to obtain the confidence interval of the sample awaiting assessment which has no reference sample. Subsequently, by using the prediction method and original small reference samples, Bootstrap resampling method is used to obtain more correlation coefficients for the sample to reduce the probability of abandoning the true. Findings The grey relational analysis is used in assessing the confidence value and interval prediction. The numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. Originality/value Based on the selected small reference samples, new calculation methods of the correlation coefficient and confidence value are presented to assess the confidence value of model awaiting assessment. The calculation methods of maximum confidence interval, expected confidence interval and other required confidence intervals are presented, which can be used in assessing the validities of controller and guidance system obtained from the model awaiting assessment.
