چکیده
Security and reliability are the main focus of annular metal seal assembly. It is concluded that the factors influence sealing performance of annular metal seal assembly most in view of working conditions of annular metal seal assembly. Taking major influencing factors with response surface method (RSM) analysis, and determining coefficient of regression analysis with finite element method (ANSYS) experiment. Second-order corresponding model is established and the best corresponding interval is concluded. Getting the reasonable values of bulge radius r and loading F on the premise of guarantee the y value and providing theoretical guidance for field operation combined with metal sealing seal principles and experimental research.

Integrated Analysis of Choke Performance and Flow Behaviour in High-Rate, Deviated Gas-Condensate Wells
 Understanding the flow behaviour in a gas well is crucial for future production strategies, obtaining bottomhole conditions from wellhead production data, analyzing production data and estimating reservoir properties. In this work, the pressure profile and flow regime are studied on four wells of a multi-well, multi-layer gas-condensate reservoir, producing at high rate. The wells are deviate...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Impact of Managed Pressure Drilling Technology on Current Casing Program Design Methods (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper analyzed the characteristics of managed pressure drilling (MPD) technology and impact of wellhead back pressure on the wellbore annulus pressure profile, and found that the application of this technology provides room for improvement to the current casing program design. Meanwhile, the equivalent density of drilling fluid in wellbore annulus needs to consider the impact of back press...
متن کاملMotion Planning and Tracking of Subsea Structures
This article uses an active control dedicated to the positioning of subsea structures like flow lines. This kind of operation consists in connecting the bottom end of a very long pipeline to the wellhead, by dynamically modifying the pipeline top end position, which is linked to a Dynamically Positioned Vessel (DPV). Such long pipelines are usually called risers, because they are used to rise t...

Composite propellers offer high damping characteristics and corrosion resistance when compared with metal propellers. But the design of a hybrid composite propeller with the same strength of metal propeller is the critical task. For this purpose, the present paper focusses on fluid-structure interaction analysis of hybrid composite propeller with Carbon/Epoxy, R-Glass/Epoxy and S2-Glass/Epoxy t...
متن کاملModal Reduction Based Tracking Control for Installation of Subsea Equipments
This paper proposes a control strategy for the deep sea installation of wellhead equipments hanged by flow line structures, named risers. A fundamental step of this operation is the positioning of the equipment over the wellhead, which can be costly, time-consuming, and unfeasible in bad weather conditions. The approach taken considers the riser structure an Euler-Bernoulli beam submerged in a ...
