Numerical Simulation in Hydraulic Fracturing: Multiphysics Theory and Applications

Numerical Simulation in Hydraulic Fracturing: Multiphysics Theory and Applications

The expansion of unconventional petroleum resources in the recent decade and the rapid development of computational technology have provided the opportunity to develop and apply 3D numerical modeling technology to simulate the hydraulic fracturing of shale and tight sand formations. This book presents 3D numerical modeling technologies for hydraulic fracturing developed in recent years and introduces solutions to various 3D geomechanical problems related to hydraulic fracturing. In the solution processes of the case studies included in the book fully coupled multi-physics modeling has been adopted along with innovative computational techniques such as submodeling. In practice hydraulic fracturing is an essential project component in shale gas/oil development and tight sand oil and provides an essential measure in the process of drilling cuttings reinjection (CRI). It is also an essential measure for widened mud weight window (MWW) when drilling through naturally fractured formations; the process of hydraulic plugging is a typical application of hydraulic fracturing. 3D modeling and numerical analysis of hydraulic fracturing is essential for the successful development of tight oil/gas formations: it provides accurate solutions for optimized stage intervals in a multistage fracking job. It also provides optimized well-spacing for the design of zipper-frac wells. Numerical estimation of casing integrity under stimulation injection in the hydraulic fracturing process is one of major concerns in the successful development of unconventional resources. This topic is also investigated numerically in this book. Numerical solutions to several other typical geomechanics problems related to hydraulic fracturing such as fluid migration caused by fault reactivation and seismic activities are also presented. This book can be used as a reference textbook to petroleum geotechnical and geothermal engineers to senior undergraduate graduate and postgraduate students and to geologists hydrogeologists geophysicists and applied mathematicians working in this field. This book is also a synthetic compendium of both the fundamentals and some of the most advanced aspects of hydraulic fracturing technology. | Numerical Simulation in Hydraulic Fracturing: Multiphysics Theory and Applications

Advanced DC/AC Inverters Applications in Renewable Energy

Advanced DC/AC Inverters Applications in Renewable Energy

DC/AC inversion technology is of vital importance for industrial applications including electrical vehicles and renewable energy systems which require a large number of inverters. In recent years inversion technology has developed rapidly with new topologies improving the power factor and increasing power efficiency. Proposing many novel approaches Advanced DC/AC Inverters: Applications in Renewable Energy describes advanced DC/AC inverters that can be used for renewable energy systems. The book introduces more than 100 topologies of advanced inverters originally developed by the authors including more than 50 new circuits. It also discusses recently published cutting-edge topologies. Novel PWM and Multilevel Inverters The book first covers traditional pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverters before moving on to new quasi-impedance source inverters and soft-switching PWM inverters. It then examines multilevel DC/AC inverters which have overcome the drawbacks of PWM inverters and provide greater scope for industrial applications. The authors propose four novel multilevel inverters: laddered multilevel inverters super-lift modulated inverters switched-capacitor inverters and switched-inductor inverters. With simple structures and fewer components these inverters are well suited for renewable energy systems. Get the Best Switching Angles for Any Multilevel Inverter A key topic for multilevel inverters is the need to manage the switching angles to obtain the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD). The authors outline four methods for finding the best switching angles and use simulation waveforms to verify the design. The optimum switching angles for multilevel DC/AC inverters are also listed in tables for quick reference. Application Examples of DC/AC Inverters in Renewable Energy Systems Highlighting the importance of inverters in improving energy saving and power-supply quality the final chapter of the book supplies design examples for applications in wind turbine and solar panel energy systems. Written by pioneers in advanced conversion and inversion technology this book guides readers in designing more effective DC/AC inverters for use in renewable energy systems. | Advanced DC/AC Inverters Applications in Renewable Energy

Die Cast Engineering A Hydraulic Thermal and Mechanical Process

Die Cast Engineering A Hydraulic Thermal and Mechanical Process

A frequently misunderstood technology die casting is considered the shortest route between raw material and near net shape. For many decades high pressure die casting was viewed as an art based upon seat of the pant strategies. However many of these crude reactions actually worked because the fundamental process is quite forgiving of eccentricities. Exploring these reactions with scientific logic Die Casting Engineering presents a broad study of each procedure in the die casting process and clearly outlines its basic science and principles. This guide is written in a reader-friendly and logical format by an experienced authority in quality and productivity enhancement tooling design metal feed system analysis temperature management and environmental regulation. While its scope is broad and covers the many facets of die casting the book's main focus is on function problem identification and solution and strategic logic.

Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations

Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations

Shale gas and/or oil play identification is subject to many screening processes for characteristics such as porosity permeability and brittleness. Evaluating shale gas and/or oil reservoirs and identifying potential sweet spots (portions of the reservoir rock that have high-quality kerogen content and brittle rock) requires taking into consideration multiple rock reservoir and geological parameters that govern production. The early determination of sweet spots for well site selection and fracturing in shale reservoirs is a challenge for many operators. With this limitation in mind Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations develops an approach to improve the industry’s ability to evaluate shale gas and oil plays and is structured to lead the reader from general shale oil and gas characteristics to detailed sweet-spot classifications. The approach uses a new candidate selection and evaluation algorithm and screening criteria based on key geomechanical petrophysical and geochemical parameters and indices to obtain results consistent with existing shale plays and gain insights on the best development strategies going forward. The work introduces new criteria that accurately guide the development process in unconventional reservoirs in addition to reducing uncertainty and cost.

Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Low-level river crossings including culverts are important for delivering a range of valuable socioeconomic services including transportation and hydrological control. These structures are also known to have negative impacts on freshwater river system morphology and ecology including the blockage of upstream fish passage particularly small-body-mass fish species. Given the enormous environmental problems created by road crossings new hydraulic engineering guidelines are proposed for fish-friendly multi-cell box culvert designs. The focus of these guidelines is on smooth box culverts without appurtenance with a novel approach based upon three basic concepts: (I) the culvert design is optimized for fish passage for small to medium water discharges and for flood capacity for larger discharges (II) low-velocity zones are provided along the wetted perimeter in the culvert barrel and quantified in terms of a fraction of the wetted flow area where the local longitudinal velocity is less than a characteristic fish speed linked to swimming performances of targeted fish species and (III) the culvert barrel is smooth without any other form of boundary treatment and appurtenance. The present monograph develops a number of practical considerations in particular relevant to box culvert operations for less-than-design discharges. It is argued that upstream fish passage capabilities would imply a revised approach to maintenance in part linked to the targeted fish species. This reference work is authored for civil and environmental engineers as well as biology and ecology scientists interested in culvert design. While the book is aimed to professionals the material is also lectured in postgraduate courses and in professional short courses. | Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box
