MATURE FIELD [6 records]

Record 1 2010-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fungi and Myxomycetes
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Fungi are a major source of spoilage in cereal grains, causing visible and invisible damage to the kernels. They can be divided into two major groups :field fungi and storage fungi. This is a natural division based on the moisture content of the kernels. During the early development of grain in the field, the moisture content of the kernels is high. As the grain matures, the moisture level gradually drops until at harvest, a mature kernel has from 13 to 16% moisture. Field fungi require higher moisture levels, while storage fungi can survive at lower levels. Thus, in the grain silos where the kernels finally mature, the storage fungi take over from the field fungi. The most important field fungi are Alternaria, Cladosporium, Fusarium and Helmintosporium. The most important storage fungi are Aspergillus and various Peniccilium species, which are active in the moisture range of 13 to 18%.

CONT

Les mycètes sont responsables d'une grande partie du gaspillage des céréales, en raison des dommages visibles et invisibles qu'elles occasionnent aux grains. On peut les diviser en deux grands groupes: la flore du champ et la flore de stockage. Cette division naturelle est fondée sur la teneur en humidité des grains. Au début de sa croissance, dans le champ, le grain a une teneur élevée en humidité. A mesure qu'il se développe, sa teneur en humidité diminue; à la récolte, un grain parvenu à maturité n'a plus que 13% à 16% d'humidité. La flore du champ a besoin de beaucoup d'humidité, tandis que la flore de stockage peut survivre à des niveaux d'humidité moins élevés. Par conséquent, dans les silos où les grains parviennent finalement à maturité, la flore de stockage prend la place de la flore du champ. La flore du champ comprend surtout les Alternaria, Cladosporium, Fusarium et Helmintosporium; alors que la flore de stockage englobe les Aspergillus et diverses espèces de Peniccilium, dont l'activité s'exerce à des degrés d'humidité variant entre 13% et 18%.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
CONT

Magnetoplasmadynamic(MPD) thrusters pass a large current radially outwards through a neutral plasma, from a central cathode to an annular anode. The radial current induces an azimuthal, circular magnetic field. The Lorentz body force acting on ions moving in the discharge current accelerates the plasma along the axis of the electrode structure. MPD thrusters operate at high power levels, kilowatts to megawatts, and provide high thrust with moderate specific impulse. A variant of this design uses an externally applied magnetic field to enable operation at lower power levels. MPD thrusters have been tested in the laboratory and have flown on test and demonstration missions. MPD thrusters are an insufficiently mature technology and consume too much power to be considered as candidates to provide primary propulsion of future out of Earth orbit missions and were not considered for SMART-1.

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Deposits
CONT

Oilfields, after a certain production period, are then called mature fields. Mature fields are those where the recovered oil fraction is close to the final recovery factor. Its mature phase is generally accompanied by an increasing production of water or gas, plus the aging of surface and subsurface equipment.

PHR

Mature gas field.

Subject field(s)

OBS

Oilfields, after a certain production period, are then called mature fields. Mature fields are those where the recovered oil fraction is close to the final recovery factor. Its mature phase is generally accompanied by an increasing production of water or gas, plus the aging of surface and subsurface equipment. To revitalize mature fields, a series of technologies is developed to increase the final recovery factor through treatments on a field(the so-called tertiary petroleum recovery) or well(stimulation, recompletion, treatments and logging) scale, in addition to optimizing the techniques relating to oil lift, its surface flow and treatment.

OBS

Many mature gas fields also have a fairly significant production decline, especially when development drilling has come to an end. These mature fields can be revitalized in many ways. In some instances, efforts are focused on the reservoir with further drilling to drain potentially unswept hydrocarbons with infill wells or horizontal laterals. The horizontal drilling might be from new wellbores or wells that are currently temporarily abandoned or near their economic limit. With the increase in horizontal-well activity, there is an abundance of new technology with advances in gravel-pack design, underbalanced drilling with coiled tubing, and coiled-tubing fracturing. Besides these production improvements, operators are revamping both downhole and surface facilities to help breathe new life into older fields. Advances are taking place in the areas of artificial lift, intelligent-well completions, expandable tubulars, and others.
