In China, the coal gas formation is characterized as low permeability, low pressure and low water saturation. The coal bed methane (CBM) has strong adsorption and is difficult to develop. Hydraulic fracture is currently the main measure to improve its permeability, drain the liquid and lower the pressure, which promotes desorption of CBM. But it is not efficient. Based on the principle of high energy gas fracturing (HEGF) and the study of new methods, we proposed the test application of the multi-pulse loading fracturing technology for development of shallow CBM. The mechanism of the technology is that it generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the target coal bed to produce a long multi-fracture system with effects of multi-pulse loading. It can also produce strong impulse oscillation acting on formation matrix to loose formation pressure, improve the pore connectivity and permeability of coal bed, which promotes pressure drawdown and desorption of CBM. Thus, the goal of increasing the yield of CBM wells is achieved. This paper focuses on the research ideas, mechanism, process design and feasibility. We carried out analysis combined with field test applications. The study provides a new direction to explore new technologies for China’s CBM development.

University campuses are normally constituted of large buildings responsible for high energy demand, and are also important as demonstration sites for new technologies and systems. This paper presents the results of achieving energy sustainability in a testbed composed of a set of four buildings that constitute the Telecommunications Engineering School of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. In the paper, after characterizing the consumption of university buildings for a complete year, different options to achieve more sustainable use of energy are presented, considering the integration of renewable generation sources, namely photovoltaic generation, and monitoring and controlling electricity demand. To ensure the implementation of the desired monitoring and control, an internet of things (IoT) platform based on wireless sensor network (WSN) infrastructure was designed and installed. Such a platform supports a smart system to control the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems in buildings. Furthermore, the paper presents the developed IoT-based platform, as well as the implemented services. As a result, the paper illustrates how providing old existing buildings with the appropriate technology can contribute to the objective of transforming such buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) at a low cost.

The demand for electricity is increasing day by day due to technological advancements. According to the demand, the size of the grid is also increasing rapidly in the past decade. However, the traditional centralized power grid has many drawbacks such as high operating cost, customer satisfaction, less reliability, and security. Distribution generation has less pollution, high energy efficiency, and flexible installation than traditional generation. It also improves the performance of the grid in peak load and reliability of supply. The concept of micro-grid has been raised due to the advent of new technologies and development of the power electronics and modern control theory. Micro-grid is the significant part of the distribution network in the future of smart grid, which has advanced and flexible operation and control pattern, and integrates distributed clean energy.

ABSTRACTField heat experiments with kaolinite/smectite clay surrounding heaters in boreholes were conducted for 0.7 and 4 years with temperatures up to 170-180°C. The short test gave a high degree of water saturation even in the hottest part (> 75 %) and almost no change in physical properties and mineral composition. The long test gave a dry inner zone of claystone, indicating gas formation, and rich precipitation of silica/aluminum compounds and sulphate minerals. Brittleness characterized the hot parts and stiffening occurred also in the colder parts due to precipitation of silica and aluminum.

Based on the pseudo-static test of 6 high-strength RC columns with central reinforcement skeletons, this paper studied their hysterisis performance, degradation of strength and rigidity, and energy dissipation capacity, with the affecting factors analyzed. The result shows that the central reinforcement skeletons can compensate for the low plasticity and brittle failure susceptibility of high-strength concrete so that all the specimens have stable strength, slow rigidity degradation and high energy dissipation capacity at later stage of loading; the larger the core areas the higher the strengths and ductility of the specimens, but slightly faster the degradation of strength and energy dissipation capacity as compared with the specimens with smaller core areas; the spacing of ties, longitudinal reinforcement ratio of core area both influence the strength degradation and energy dissipation capacity of the specimens, but they have little effect on their strengths.

AbstractKnowledge of initial fluids saturation has great importance in hydrocarbon reservoir analysis and modelling. Distribution of initial water saturation (Swi) in 3D models dictates the original oil in place (STOIIP), which consequently influences reserve estimation and dynamic modelling. Calculation of initial water saturation in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs always is a challenging task, because these reservoirs have complex depositional and diagenetic history with a complex pore network. This paper aims to model the initial water saturation in a pore facies framework, in a heterogeneous carbonate reservoir. Petrographic studies were accomplished to define depositional facies, diagenetic features and pore types. Accordingly, isolated pores are dominant in the upper parts, while the lower intervals contain more interconnected interparticle pore types. Generally, in the upper and middle parts of the reservoir, diagenetic alterations such as cementation and compaction decreased the primary reservoir potential. However, in the lower interval, which mainly includes high-energy shoal facies, high reservoir quality was formed by primary interparticle pores and secondary dissolution moulds and vugs. Using huge number of primary drainage mercury injection capillary pressure tests, we evaluate the ability of FZI, r35Winland, r35Pittman, FZI* and Lucia’s petrophysical classes in definition of rock types. Results show that recently introduced rock typing method is an efficient way to classify samples into petrophysical rock types with same pore characteristics. Moreover, as in this study MICP data were available from every one meter of reservoir interval, results show that using FZI* method much more representative sample can be selected for SCAL laboratory tests, in case of limitation in number of SCAL tests samples. Integration of petrographic analyses with routine (RCAL) and special (SCAL) core data resulted in recognition of four pore facies in the studied reservoir. Finally, in order to model initial water saturation, capillary pressure data were averaged in each pore facies which was defined by FZI* method and using a nonlinear curve fitting approach, fitting parameters (M and C) were extracted. Finally, relationship between fitting parameters and porosity in core samples was used to model initial water saturation in wells and between wells. As permeability prediction and reservoir rock typing are challenging tasks, findings of this study help to model initial water saturation using log-derived porosity.

Tuberculosis In Children

Invasive technologies in the complex treatment of tuberculosis in children and adolescents have a long history, which began in the pre-antibiotic period. This is the way of their improvement from independent use of artificial pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum to the use of these techniques in the complex treatment of respiratory tuberculosis during the development of chemotherapy for the disease. New technology uses valvular bronchial blocking. That procedure creates hypoventilation and atelectasis in the affected region of the lung with preservation of drainage function of the blocked bronchus and destruction cavity, which allow reducing indications for surgical treatment as a method with a high level of injury rate. The approaches to surgical intervention in children and adolescents with respiratory tuberculosis have also changed. It is also part of the comprehensive treatment of the disease. Minimally invasive accesses under the control of video-assisted thoracoscopy are used, which significantly reduced the risk of surgery and increased the immediate efficiency of surgical treatment. New technologies combined with all types of surgeries are being widely developed: electro- and argon plasma coagulation and pleurodesis, vaporization of the tuberculous lesion, and encapsulated pleura by high-energy CO2 laser, new materials (polypropylene implants) are used. Further development of invasive technologies with multiple and extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to children and adolescents compensates for the lack of efficiency of conservative chemotherapy and is an urgent problem at the present stage of pediatric phthisiology.
