Short and long scale regimes of horizontal flare system exploitation in permafrost
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical model, numerical algorithm and program code for simulation thermal changes in permafrost as a result of operation of a horizontal flare system in northern oil and gas field are presented. In the model the most significant climatic and physical factors are taken into account such as solar radiation, determined by specific geographical location, heterogeneous structure of frozen soil, seasonal fluctuations in air temperature, and freezing and thawing of the upper soil layer. Results of computing are presented.

Experimentally-Based Ocean Acoustic Propagation and Coherence Studies
The long-term goal is to better understand fluctuating sound propagation in two distinct ocean acoustic regimes: Stratified shallow water, where sound is highly bottom interacting, and the temperate deep-ocean sound channel. Acoustic field fluctuations have time scales varying from less than a minute to hours, and horizontal spatial scales from tens of meters to kilometers, comparable to proces...
متن کاملRedeveloping Mature Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs
Naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs (NFCRs) comprise the majority of the oil and gas reservoirs around the Persian Gulf. Many of these reservoirs have a long history of exploitation, but vast amounts of oil remain in place. A major redevelopment process for light oil based NFRs will likely be the use of horizontal wells combined with gravity drainage at constant pressure based on voidage...
متن کاملThe East Siberian Arctic Shelf: towards further assessment of permafrost-related methane fluxes and role of sea ice
Sustained release of methane (CH(4)) to the atmosphere from thawing Arctic permafrost may be a positive and significant feedback to climate warming. Atmospheric venting of CH(4) from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) was recently reported to be on par with flux from the Arctic tundra; however, the future scale of these releases remains unclear. Here, based on results of our latest observati...

متن کاملWaterhammer tests in a long PVC pipeline with short steel end sections
An experiment featuring waterhammer in viscoelastic pipes is presented in which the effects of pipe-wall viscoelasticity on waterhammer pressures are investigated. A large-scale pipeline apparatus made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) at Deltares, Delft, The Netherlands, has been used to carry out waterhammer experiments. Tests have been conducted in a reservoir-pipeline-valve system consisting of a...
