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

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

Workplace Culture Matters Developing Leaders Who Respect People and Deliver Robust Results

Workplace Culture Matters Developing Leaders Who Respect People and Deliver Robust Results

Written in a novel format this book addresses the challenge of changing a sick culture. Some organizations wake up one day and realize they have become something they never intended. Their employees run scared. There is no innovation only blind obedience. There are warlords within the ranks of management and they fight over turf without considering the best interests of customers their employees or their organization as a whole. At the Charleston SC branch of Copper-Bottom Insurance the wakeup call comes when an employee files a lawsuit against the company and its leaders. The Charleston division Vice President Jack Simmons is put on probation and given an ultimatum: Change the culture! Jack understands the or be fired implication all too well. He scrambles to find help and runs into an old friend Don Spears from Friedman Electronics. With Don’s help Jack begins the journey that will heal his organization. In the course of their first visit Don and his Director of Continuous Improvement Tim Stark help Jack to make an important discovery: Copper-Bottom’s executives are not showing their people respect. Don and Tim point to the following observations as proof. Copper-Bottom leaders are Using top-down command-and-control leadership behaviors rather than recognizing their people as Subject Matter Experts and listening to them Issuing instructions to their people rather than observing then improving performance through coaching Keeping employees in the dark as to the impact their work has on the organization’s mission Unaware of the obstacles in their people’s paths; hence never using the authority of their positions to remove those obstacles Staying in their offices aloof to the difficulties their subordinates face As Don and Tim see it Copper-Bottom’s problems stem from the way its leaders lead. After the executive who precipitated the lawsuit is let go the Friedman team begins the process of teaching Copper-Bottom’s executives that a healthy culture begins at the leadership level. Don Friedman’s General Manager states that cultures change when their leaders change. In short leaders need to initiate the changes in the culture by first demonstrating the desired behavior. So begins the process of reeducating Copper-Bottom’s leaders in the difference between managing and leading. In short order Tim begins to work with Jack’s leadership team while Don takes Jack to Friedman’s Oakland facility. There Jack learns To first concentrate on surrounding himself with the right people The importance of top-down metrics to which leaders first hold themselves accountable Cascading their metrics (KPIs) down through their organization and using a dialog about them as a way of developing relationships of respect Although a long way from complete by the end of Jack’s six-month probation Copper-Bottom has made significant strides and is well on its way to changing its culture. Jack will learn that he is not the only one to appreciate the new developments. | Workplace Culture Matters Developing Leaders Who Respect People and Deliver Robust Results

Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing

Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives: Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing is a unique emotive and theorised narrative of a young girl’s experience of boarding school in Australia. Christine Jack traces its impact on the emerging identity of the child including sexual development and emotional capacity the transmission of trauma into adulthood and the long process of recovery. Interweaving her story with the experiences of Christopher Robin Milne she presents her memoir as an exemplar of how narrative writing can be employed in remembering and recovering from traumatic experiences. Unique and powerfully written Jack takes the reader on a journey into her childhood in Australian boarding school convents in the 1950s and 1960s. Comparing her experience with Christopher Robin Milne’s she interrogates his memoirs illustrating that boarding school trauma knows no boundaries of time and place. She investigates their emerging individuality before being sent to live an institutional life and traces their feelings of longing and loneliness as well as the impact of the abuse each endured there. As an educational historian Jack writes in a ground-breaking way from the perspective of an insider and outsider revealing how trauma remains in the unconscious wielding power over the life of the adult until the traumatic memories are recovered emotions released and associated dysfunctional behaviour changed restoring well-being. Engaging the lenses of history life-span and Jungian psychology feminist and trauma theory and boarding school trauma research this book positions narrative writing as a way of reducing the power of trauma over the lives of survivors. Personal and accessible this book will be essential reading for psychologists and educational historians as well as students and academics of psychology sociology trauma studies ex-boarders and those interested in the life of Christopher Robin Milne. | Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing
