The GREENS workshop provides a forum for practitioners and academics to share knowledge, ideas, practices and current results related to green and sustainable software engineering. This first workshop was held at ICSE 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland. It featured a keynote talk, twelve research position statements and two breakout sessions that discussed topics that ranged from bringing sustainabili...

After more than a decade of research in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice in MDE has significantly progressed. Therefore, during this workshop we raised the question of how to proceed next, and we identified a number of future challenges in the field of MDE. The objective of the workshop was to provide a forum for discussing the future of MDE res...

Fluid pressure inside a borehole produces hydraulic fracture and damage zones in the vicinity of the borehole. These fractures result from stress concentrations around the borehole. The results of numerical simulation of a borehole subjected to fluid pressure using a micromechanical damage model [2] are presented in this paper. It is observed that tensional concentrated stresses are generated a...

36 JPT • NOVEMBER 2014 To estimate reserves, optimize well recovery, and place future development wells more accurately, operators require increasingly detailed understanding of complex oil and gas reservoirs. Highresolution geological data from the borehole—core samples and wireline microresistivity images—are essential to fully characterize reservoir architecture, guide and constrain reservoi...

Received: April 29, 2017 Revised: July 01, 2017 Accepted: August 30, 2017 Abstract: Introduction: Unloading phenomenon happens in the beginning of drilling and is able to change stress state around borehole. This change of stress state causes impact on rock structure and strength, thus affecting the evaluation of wellbore stability. Especially for determining initial mud pressure, unloading is ...

The calculation of Ground Heat Exchanger (GHE) performance is very important for predicting the performance and estimating the initial cost of geothermal heat pump systems. In North America it is estimated that on average GHE are oversized by about 10% ~ 30%. A vertical Ground Heat Exchanger (VGHE) is most common because of its smaller environmental influence and land field requirement. This pa...

Abstract: The governing equations of motion for a drill string considering coupling between axial, lateral and torsional vibrations are obtained using a Lagrangian approach. The result leads to a set of non-linear equations with time varying coefficients. A fully coupled model for axial, lateral, and torsional vibrations of drill strings is presented. The bit/formation interactions are assumed ...
