Real-World Automation: New Capabilities for Underground Longwall Mining
This paper describes successful industrial research and development in the area of underground coal mining equipment automation. A brief background to underground coal mining is given, and the process of longwall mining is detailed. Some of the major limitations and issues impacting on the productivity and safety of the longwall mining process are highlighted, which serve to motivate the automa...
متن کاملForecasting long-term gas production from shale.
Oil and natural gas from deep shale formations are transforming the United States economy and its energy outlook. Back in 2005, the US Energy Information Administration published projections of United States natural gas supply that stressed the need to develop an import infrastructure (1): by 2025, imports would account for almost one-third of United States consumption. When we compare those fo...
متن کاملProduction Optimization in Shale Gas Reservoirs
Natural gas from organic rich shales has become an important part of the supply of natural gas in the United States. Modern drilling and stimulation techniques have increased the potential and profitability of shale gas reserves that earlier were regarded as unprofitable resources of natural gas. The most prominent property of shale gas reservoirs is the low permeability. This is also the reaso...
متن کاملShale gas and hydrofracturing.
About the Cover: Black carbon (BC) containing particles have an important role to play in climate change; directly heating through absorption of radiation, and/or indirectly cooling through the seeding of clouds. New research in this issue, using a mobile laboratory indicates that gasoline powered cars may produce more BC than previously considered. Transmission electron microscopy background i...
متن کاملSafety distance between underground natural gas and water pipeline facilities
A leaking water pipe bursting high pressure water jet in the soil will create slurry erosion which will eventually erode the adjacent natural gas pipe, thus causing its failure. The standard 300 mm safety distance used to place natural gas pipe away from water pipeline facilities needs to be reviewed to consider accidental damage and provide safety cushion to the natural gas pipe. This paper pr...
