Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. Finally it is also intended to serve as a reference book for mathematicians college teachers and students. | Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Psychopath The Case of Patrick MacKay

Psychopath The Case of Patrick MacKay

First published in 1976 Psychopath is a study of Patrick Mackay who in 1974 – with a string of muggings and killings behind him – was on trial for murder and was imprisoned in November 1975. John Penycate and Tim Clark – responsible for the controversial BBC Panorama programme on Patrick Mackay’s case – here take their investigation further and raise the important question of how the various responsible agencies which came into contact with him failed to see the danger and prevent these needless killings. Mackay passed through five mental institutions as well as approved schools remand centres and homes. Twice he had been released from Moss Side Special Hospital – the North of England’s equivalent to Broadmoor – against the advice of his doctors. Penycate and Clark show that the signs were there for all to see. They give a detailed account of Patrick Mackay’s deterioration from his turbulent childhood through numerous suicide attempts acts of violence and spells in mental and penal institutions to his becoming London’s most notorious ‘mugger’ and a multiple killer culminating in the final maniacal axing of his friend Father Crean illustrated here with Mackay’s own words. This book will be of interest to students of criminology psychology penology government and media. | Psychopath The Case of Patrick MacKay

Seaweeds as Plant Fertilizer Agricultural Biostimulants and Animal Fodder

Seaweeds as Plant Fertilizer Agricultural Biostimulants and Animal Fodder

The main effects of Seaweed extracts (Ascophyllum Fucus Sargassum Saccorhiza Laminaria Gelidium and others) when used as agricultural fertilizers are better seed germination and higher quality fruit production with longer shelf life; better use of soil nutrients; more productive crops and plants with greater resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions. Algae also have a long history of use as animal feed. They have a highly variable composition depending on the species collection season and habitat and on external conditions such as water temperature light intensity and nutrient concentration in water. In relation to ruminal fermentation a high variability of the digestibility values ​​was found among seaweed species and cannot be attributed only to the composition of different nutrients of the algae. The role of marine algae for reduction of methane production is discussed with particular emphasis on novel algae-based feed strategies that target minimal methane emissions without affecting the functionality of the microbiota and overall animal productivity.

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

The oil and gas industry is going through a major technological shift. This is particularly true of the Norwegian continental shelf where new work processes are being implemented based on digital infrastructure and information technology. The term Integrated Operations (IO) has been applied to this set of new processes. It is defined by the Centre for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry as 'work processes and technology to make smarter decisions and better execution enabled by ubiquitous real time data collaborative techniques and access to multiple expertise'. It's claimed that IO is efficient optimises exploration reduces costs and improves safety performance. However the picture is not as clear-cut as it may appear. On the one hand the new work processes do not prevent major accidents: IO-related factors have been identified in recent events such as the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. On the other hand IO technology provides improved decision-making support (such as access to real-time data and expertise) which can reduce human and material losses and damage to the environment. Given these very different properties it's vital that the industry has a detailed understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of IO which this book sets out to do from a multidisciplinary point of view. It analyses Integrated Operations from the angles of statistics management science human factors and resilience engineering. These varied disciplines provide a multifaceted understanding of IO that better informs risk assessment practices as well as explaining new techniques and methods and provides state-of-the-art guidance to risk assessment practitioners working in the oil and gas industry. | Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change
