English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The MH-1A [Mobile High Power Plant Number 1A] control rod ejection accident can result in core damage when postulated to occur during ten rod bank operation, a rod programming scheme presently utilized at the beginning of core life to lessen the magnitude of the axial power peak. Analyses have been performed to determine if, and under what conditions, core damage from this accident can be prevented by operating the MH-1A in a twelve rod bank configuration at the beginning(and throughout) core life.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

L’accident d’éjection de grappe de commande étudié dans les rapports de sûreté enveloppe ce scénario puisqu’il couvre le même accident de réactivité, mais ne tient pas compte de l’effet de la brèche (100 mm de diamètre) qui a, pour cet accident, un effet favorable. Un tel accident doit pourtant rester exceptionnel.

Record 3 2000-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

A method of fluid injection. This method requires that three fluids exist in the reservoir : the mobile oil to be displaced, a displacing fluid moving as a bank behind the oil, and a fluid injected for the sole purpose of propelling the displacing fluid through the reservoir.

DEF

A method of enhanced recovery in which various hydrocarbon solvents or gases (as propane, LPG, natural gas, or a mixture thereof) are injected into the reservoir to reduce interfacial forces between oil and water in the pore channels and thus displace oil from the reservoir rock.

CONT

The concept of miscible displacement of oil by CO2 has been known for many years ...

OBS

A miscible fluid is formed when injected CO2 mixes with reservoir oil ... When miscibility occurs the forces of capillary pressure ... disappear and the oil is then free to be carried forward to the producing well.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
DEF

Procédé de récupération de l'huile en place par élimination des pressions capillaires à l'aide de fluides qui lui sont miscibles en toutes proportions.

CONT

Dans le déplacement par injection de fluides miscible, pour réduire les phénomènes interfaciaux qui retiennent une certaine quantité de pétrole piégé à l'intérieur des pores de la roche-réservoir, on fait appel à un fluide déplaçant, miscible avec le pétrole en place. Les quatre principaux procédés sont : l'injection de gaz «pauvre», qui peut être du méthane pur, ou même de l'azote, sous haute pression; l'injection d'un bouchon de propane ou de butane, suivi de gaz pauvre; l'injection de gaz «enrichi», c'est-à-dire de mélanges d'hydrocarbures saturés en C2 à C4, suivi de gaz pauvre; l'injection de gaz carbonique, procédé qui est le plus intéressant lorsqu'une source de ce gaz existe à proximité.

OBS

Terme officiellement recommandé par le Gouvernement français.

Record 4 1988-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
CONT

A stabilized oil bank will build up ahead of the slug.... this oil bank will flow with a certain mobility. The surfactant slug's mobility should be less than the oil bank mobility. Likewise, for efficient displacement the mobility control polymer should be less mobile than slug and oil banks. Loss of mobility control in the fluid sequence will cause fingering and reduced displacement efficiency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
CONT

En général, pour assurer un bon contrôle des mobilités, le bouchon de tensio-actifs est formé par un bouchon de polymère.
