Horizontal Wellbore

Migration and settlement of temporary plugging particles of different sizes affect the effect of temporary plugging, which in turn affect the effect of reservoir reconstruction. However, the migration and settlement laws of temporary plugging particles in horizontal wellbore are still unclear. In order to study the migration and settlement laws of temporary plugging particles in horizontal wellbore, a set of multicluster perforation physical model experiment device for horizontal wells was built. Based on this experimental device, the effects of mass ratio, pumping rate, and adding sequence on the migration and settlement laws of temporary plugging particles were studied, respectively. The experimental results show that the 3 mm temporary plugging particles move forward in a leaping manner at the bottom of the horizontal wellbore and the 1 mm particles are distributed in layers in the horizontal wellbore, and the particles are less in the upper part of the wellbore and more in the bottom of the wellbore. The migration trajectory of the two mixed particles is similar to the single. Under different mass ratio, the settlement mass of particles in the perforation clusters at the outlet end is greater than that in the entrance end. When the 3 mm particles account for a relatively large amount ( m 3 mm : m 1 mm = 5 : 1 ), the settlement mass of the particles in the two perforation clusters is greater than other mass ratio conditions. For the same perforation, the settlement mass becomes greater as the proportion of 3 mm increases. When only 3 mm particles are considered, with the increasing of displacement, the mass of particles in the perforation clusters at the inlet end increases, and the mass of particles in the clusters at the outlet end decreases. With the increase of displacement, the sedimentation mass of particles in high angle perforations decreases, while the sedimentation mass in other perforations increases. Adding 3 mm first and then 1 mm particles, the particle settlement mass in the perforation cluster at the outlet end is twice the mass of the particles in the perforation cluster at the inlet end. Reversing the sequence, the settlement masses of the particles in the two clusters are almost equal. The particle distribution in the perforation at different angles has obvious gradation. The smaller the angle, the greater the settlement mass of the temporary plugging particles. This research results will provide reference for temporary plugging and fracturing construction.

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is one of the most important factors accounted for the fatigue damage of long flexible risers in deep water. In this paper, the VIV response characteristics of flexible catenary riser model with the slenderness ratio of 578 were firstly studied by means of scale physical model experiments. In the experiment, the riser model was installed on a towing carriage, which might move horizontally above a wave basin with constant speed to simulate the working condition of the riser model under uniform current. The tension sensor was used to measure the time-history variation of the top tension. The acceleration sensor was used to measure the accelerations of the riser model in cross-flow (CF) and in-line (IL) directions. And the top tension, vibration spectrum, amplitude and vibration locus of the riser were analyzed in accordance with the flexible riser model experiment, and the VIV law of the model experiment working condition was analyzed; then the hydrodynamic software Orcaflex was used to verify the finite element analysis (FEA) of the experiment. The experimental results show that the flexible catenary riser with lower mass ratio and lower bending stiffness has more complex hydrodynamic characteristics than the steel catenary riser (SCR). When the suspension angle remains the same, the top tension of the riser increases with the increase of flow velocity, and the higher the flow velocity, the faster the growth rate; the natural frequency of the riser increases with the increase of flow velocity; the VIV of the riser is the second-order vibration mode when flow velocities range from 0.2m/s to 0.4m/s. The vibration frequencies corresponding to acceleration sensors at different measuring points along the axis of the riser tend to be the same and increase with the increase of flow velocity, which results in “lock-in” near a certain natural frequency close to the vortex shedding frequency. When V = 0.2m/s, the VIV responses of some measuring points of the flexible riser present a positive “8”-shape or oblique “8”-shape vibration, when the amplitude tends to be the maximum. As the flow velocity approaches to 0.8m/s, the “8”-shape vibration disappears and the VIV vibration locus begins to become cluttered, and the variation rate of the VIV phase angle is faster than that at low speeds. The experimental results show that the physical model experimental results is well matched with that of Orcaflex numerical model. The physical model experimental results can reflect the vibration law of flexible risers under actual working conditions and can be used to predict the actual vibration law and characteristics of the VIV of flexible risers.

The Mathematical Model

The article deals with the development of a physical model of a car equipped with measuring, recording and remote control equipment for experimental study of car properties. A detailed description of the design of the physical model and of the electronic modules used is given, links to application libraries and the code of the first part of the program for remote control of the model are given. Atmega microcontroller on the Arduino Uno platform was used to manage the model and register the parameters. When moving the car on the memory card saved such parameters as speed, voltage on the motor, current on the motor, the angle of the steered wheel, acceleration along three coordinate axes are recorded. Use of more powerful microcontrollers will allow to expand the list of the registered parameters of movement of the car. It is possible to measure the forces acting on the elements of the car and other parameters. In the future, it is planned to develop a mathematical model of motion of the car and check its adequacy in conducting experimental studies on maneuverability on the physical model. In addition, it is possible to conduct studies of stability and consumption of electrical energy. The physical model allows to quickly change geometric dimensions and mass parameters. In the study of highway trains, this approach will allow to investigate the various layout schemes of highway trains in the short term. It is possible to make two-axle road trains and saddle towed trains, three-way hitched trains of different layout. The results obtained will allow us to improve not only the mathematical model, but also the experimental physical model, and move on to further study the properties of hybrid road trains with an active trailer link. This approach allows to reduce material and time costs when researching the properties of cars and road trains.

Tight Reservoirs

Multistaged temporary plugging fracturing in horizontal wells is an emerging technology to promote uniform fracture propagation in tight reservoirs by injecting ball sealers to plug higher-flux perforations. The seating mechanism and transportation of ball sealers remain poorly understood. In this paper, the sensitivities of the ball sealer density, casing injection rate and perforation angle to the seating behaviors are studied. In a vertical wellbore section, a ball sealer accelerates very fast at the beginning of the dropping and reaches a stable state within a few seconds. The terminal velocity of a non-buoyant ball is greater than the fluid velocity, while the terminal velocity of a buoyant ball is less than the fluid velocity. In the horizontal wellbore section, the terminal velocity of a non-buoyant or buoyant ball is less than the fracturing fluid flowing velocity. The ball sealer density is a more critical parameter than the casing injection rate when a ball sealer diverts to a perforation hole. The casing injection rate is a more critical parameter than the ball sealer density when a ball sealer seats on a perforation hole. A buoyant ball sealer associated with a high injection rate of fracturing fluid is highly recommended to improve the seating efficiency.

Refining Processes

Boron (B) removal by slag refining using CaO–SiO2–CaCl2 was investigated in metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si) and 75 wt% Si–Sn alloy. Experiments were conducted at 1500 °C for 15 min. The microstructure was characterized before and after refining. The effects of acid leaching, basicity, and slag/Si mass ratio on B removal were investigated. Experimental results showed that acid leaching had no effect on B removal from MG-Si but had a clear effect on the refined Si–Sn alloy after slag refining. The final B concentration was highly affected by the CaO/SiO2 mass ratio with minimum value, where the content of B was reduced from 18.36 ppmw to 5.5 ppmw at the CaO/SiO2 = 1.2 for MG-Si slag refining and from 18.36 ppmw to 3.7 ppmw at CaO/SiO2 = 1.5 for 75 wt% Si–Sn alloy. Increasing the slag mass ratio by 2:1 mass ratio also increased B removal efficiency by approximately 15–20% more than an increase by 1:1.

Eclipsing Binary

AbstractNew radial velocity measurements of the Algol-type eclipsing binary BD +52 °2009, based on Reticon observations, are presented. The velocity measures are based on fitting theoretical profiles, generated by a physical model of the binary, to the observed cross-correlation function (ccf). Such profiles match this function very well, much better in fact than Gaussian profiles, which are generally used. Measuring the ccf’s with Gaussian profiles yields the following results: mp sin3i = 2.55 ± 0.05m⊙, ms sin3i = 1.14 ± 0.03m⊙, (ap + as) sin i = 7.34 ± 0.05R⊙, and mp/ms = 2.23 ± 0.05. However, measuring the ccf’s with theoretical profiles yields a mass ratio of 2.33 and following results: mp sin3i = 2.84 ± 0.05m⊙, ms sin3i = 1.22 ± 0.03m⊙, (ap + as) sin i = 7.56 ± 0.05R⊙. The system has a semi-detached configuration. By combining the solution of a previously published light curve with the spectroscopic orbit, one can obtain the following physical parameters: mp = 2.99m⊙, ms3 = 1.28m⊙, < Tp >= 9600K, < Ts >= 5400K, < Rp >= 2.35R⊙, < Rs >= 2.12R⊙. The system consists of an A0 primary and a G2 secondary.
