The application of geotextiles for prefabricated drains. Until the seventies, vertical drainage systems were mainly being applied in the form of sand drains. This method consisted of forming holes in the ground by means of water jets in combination with drills or bailers, until the desired depth was reached. These holes were then filled with sand..... Nowadays there are many brands and types of drains available. These can be roughly divided into the following groups : Non-woven drains.... Composite drains....

Computer simulation of single-well steam assisted gravity drainage(SW-SAGD).... Steam assisted gravity drainage(SAGD) is an effective method of producing heavy oil and bitumen. In a typical SAGD approach, steam is injected into a horizontal well located directly above a horizontal producer. A steam chamber grows around the injection well and helps displace heated oil toward the production well. Single-well(SW) SAGD attempts to create a similar process using only one horizontal well. This may include steam injection from the toe of the horizontal well with production at the heel. Obvious advantages of SW-SAGD include cost savings and utility in relatively thin reservoirs. However, the process is technically challenging. To improve early-time response of SW-SAGD, it is necessary to heat the nearwellbore area to reduce oil viscosity and allow gravity drainage to take place. 1, record 6, English, - single%2Dwell%20steam%20assisted%20gravity%20drainage

Le procédé SAGD («steam-assisted gravity drainage») dans sa version d'origine suppose l'utilisation de deux puits horizontaux situés dans un même plan vertical et distants l'un de l'autre de 3 à 6 m. Le puits supérieur est utilisé pour injecter de la vapeur d'eau. Celle-ci forme ce que l'on appelle une chambre de vapeur, cède sa chaleur au contact de l'huile en place et se condense en eau liquide au niveau de ce contact. L'huile voit sa viscosité diminuer par cet apport de chaleur et peut s'écouler plus facilement. L'huile et l'eau liquide s'écoulent le long de la chambre de vapeur sous l'action de la gravité vers le puits horizontal inférieur. Afin de limiter le nombre de puits, des ingénieurs ont proposé de réaliser l'injection de vapeur et la production de l'huile réchauffée et de l'eau due à la condensation de la vapeur, dans un unique puits horizontal. Les essais réalisés sur champ n'ont pas été probants et cette technologie avec un seul puits a quasiment été abandonnée.

Dans le domaine de la production améliorée des bruts lourds, on peut distinguer 5 méthodes : - injection de vapeur : cette méthode est la plus couramment employée dans le domaine de la récupération améliorée. Deux principales stratégies peuvent être adoptées : 1) celle de la stimulation par injection cyclique («Huff and Puff»), qui consiste à injecter la vapeur de façon discontinue (cyclique) et de récupérer l'huile au même endroit. Cette technique a l'avantage de produire rapidement de l'huile, donc d'augmenter la productivité, cependant elle ne permet pas un taux de récupération élevé des huiles en place; 2) celle de l'entraînement à la vapeur («Steam Drive»), qui consiste à injecter la vapeur sur une longue période à partir d'un puits spécifiquement dédié à cette fonction et de récupérer l'huile dans d'autres puits situés aux environs. Cette technique, à l'inverse de celle à injection cyclique, permet d'atteindre de façon progressive un taux de récupération élevé. Parmi ces technologies, on pourra distinguer celle de l'entraînement à la vapeur par zone annulaire chauffée («Heated Annulus Steam Drive») et celle de drainage gravitaire renforcé par la vapeur («Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage»). La deuxième (SAGD) commence à faire ses preuves aujourd'hui. Elle permet, par l'utilisation de puits horizontaux multidrains d'améliorer considérablement la productivité et le taux de récupération des huiles en place, tout en minimisant l'utilisation de vapeur. 2, record 6, French, - drainage%20gravitaire%20assist%C3%A9%20par%20injection%20de%20vapeur%20sur%20puits%20unique

This method has the advantage of being suited to a wide variety of conditions and does not require another seam within reasonable distance above or below the seam to be drained, or the use of solid stowing;(2) the superjacent roadway system in which boreholes are drilled from a roadway situated above the seam being worked, the drainage of the methane then taking place from this roadway; and(3) the pack cavity system in which corridors are left and supported in the goaf as the face advances, and from these firedamp is drawn off. 1, record 9, English, - methane%20drainage

Fiber Length. Traditionally, the fiber length distribution or weighted average fiber length of a pulp sample has been determined either by microscopic examination of a representative number of fibers, by means of a special drainage grid, or by screen classification of a sample into different length fractions.... In the classification method, a dilute suspension of fibers is made to flow at high velocity parallel to screen slots, while a much slower velocity passes through the slots. In this way, the fibers are presented lengthwise to a series of selected screens with successively smaller mesh openings, and only the fibers short enough to bridge the openings pass into the next chamber. The pulp sample is typically divided into five length fractions. 1, record 11, English, - classification%20method

Propriétés physiques des pâtes. Longueur des fibres. On mesure ou on indique la longueur des fibres, soit à partir d'une observation au microscope d'un nombre de fibres suffisant pour être représentatif, soit par fractionnement d'un échantillon en classes de différentes longueurs. [...] Dans le cas de la méthode par fractionnement, on fait s'écouler à grande vitesse une suspension fibreuse diluée, parallèlement à des tamis dont les mailles sont de plus en plus petites, pendant qu'un écoulement beaucoup plus faible passe au travers des tamis. De cette manière, les fibres se présentent longitudinalement par rapport à la série de tamis et seules les fibres suffisamment courtes pour ne pas recouvrir plusieurs mailles peuvent passer dans la chambre suivante. 1, record 11, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20par%20fractionnement

Measurements of pulp drainage are known as freeness, slowness, wetness, or drain time according to the instrument or method used. If a pulp drains rapidly, it is said to be "free". If it drains slowly, it is said to be "slow". Freeness and slowness scales have an inverse relationship. The Schopper-Riegler slowness tester is the principal laboratory drainage testing device used in Europe. 1, record 12, English, - Schopper%2DRiegler%20slowness%20tester

Selon la technique utilisée, l'égouttabilité de la pâte est caractérisée par le degré de raffinage, la résistance à l'égouttage, le degré d'hydratation ou le temps d'égouttage. Une pâte qui s'égoutte rapidement est dite «maigre»; si elle s'égoutte difficilement, la pâte est dite «grasse». En Europe, on utilise surtout l'appareil Schopper Riegler qui permet de déterminer la résistance à l'égouttage de la pâte. 1, record 12, French, - appareil%20Schopper%20Riegler

The application of geotextiles for prefabricated drains. Until the seventies, vertical drainage systems were mainly being applied in the form of sand drains. This method consisted of forming holes in the ground by means of water jets in combination with drills or bailers, until the desired depth was reached. These holes were then filled with sand.... Nowadays there are many brands and types of drains available. These can be roughly divided into the following groups : Non-woven drains.... Composite drains.... Sandwick drains. A special type of prefabricated drain is what is referred to as the Sandwick drain. This is in fact a combination of a geotextile and a sand drain. The drain is composed of a filter casing, and a stiffening of geotextile... which is filled up with coarse sand. 1, record 13, English, - prefabricated%20drain

On peut [...] assimiler un géotextile à un drain capable de dissiper les pressions interstitielles, de collecter et de conduire le fluide vers un exutoire. Cette capacité à remplir efficacement le rôle de drain sera d'autant plus grande que la transmissivité du géotextile sera élevée. La fonction drain est particulièrement intéressante, car les géotextiles se présentent sous forme de nappes; leur surface de contact est importante, et par conséquent leur possibilité de captage d'eau est grande. 2, record 13, French, - drain%20pr%C3%A9fabriqu%C3%A9
