Subject field(s)
  • Oil and Natural Gas Extraction
CONT

A medium turn radius well has at least one section with a build rate angle of between 6° and 20° per 100 ft in the rotary mode, and as much as 35° per 100 ft in an oriented mode, in reaching horizontal. The radius of curvature ranges from about 160 up to 1000 feet.

CONT

Medium-radius wells are appropriate for areas that could benefit from horizontal drilling, but where long-radius methods are either unnecessary or impractical, as would be the case when lease boundary restrictions limit the well course. They are particularly applicable for re-entry wells, reef reservoirs, fractured reservoirs and reservoirs with potential for gas or water coning.

OBS

Based on curvature rate, the most commonly used classification for types of horizontal wells are as follows: ultra-short radius, short radius, medium radius and long radius.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Extraction du pétrole et du gaz naturel
OBS

Contrairement aux puits verticaux, les puits horizontaux ont une productivité qui est très peu sensible au diamètre du trou. Pour les puits à long rayon de courbure et donc à longue section horizontale (300 m et plus), le diamètre généralement utilisé est de 8,5 pouces. Les puits à faible rayon de courbure, qui nécessitent l'utilisation de garnitures de forage articulées sont forés en plus petit diamètre, 4 pouces généralement.

The best way to explain what a circular economy is, is to compare it to our current linear economy. In our current economic system, we extract resources from our planet at an ever-increasing pace, and turn them into a product that we mostly dispose after use.... A circular economy is one that is waste-free and resilient by design. It is a new economic model that is ambitious as well as practical. Designing the economy in a way that is restorative of ecosystems, ambitious with its innovation, and impactful for society, is a bold challenge but one that is achievable when guided by the below principles of the circular economy.

  • Pumps
DEF

A device for lifting water with a bucket without the removal and reinsertion of the bucket.

CONT

The bucket pump is similar to the rag pump and lift disk pump but does not require a tube to draw the water up. It is not very common anymore, but can still be found occasionally. One advantage of this pump is that the buckets don’t turn upright until they are well below the surface of the water. They fill with clean water, and bring up less of the scum that often floats on the surface of a well. Large old sailing ships sometimes used bucket pumps. They were also used on farms and many other places. Of course, the length of the chain and the number of buckets can vary greatly.

Bacterial leaf stripe(Pseudomonas syringae subsp. andropogonis) is widely distributed and destructive on many types of sorghums(grain, forage, and sweet or sorgo), sudangrass, and broomcorn as well as on several other related grasses. Long, narrow stripes(1/4 inch by 9 inches or more) form on the leaves. These stripes are initially water-soaked, irregular, and bounded by veins. These areas soon dry and turn brick red, dark purplish red, reddish brown, or tan-to-dark brown depending on the sorghum variety. The color is continuous throughout the lesion. Later, the stripes elongate and fuse to form irregular blotches that cover a large part of the leaf surface and extend into the leaf sheath. Stalks and floral structures may show similar but more restricted lesions.

... with advancements in material science, electronics, and data acquisition and processing, we have seen the use of sensors in oil well production turn in to what is now being referred to as "smart-well technology. "With sensors located downhole(below ground), above ground, in the storage tanks, and even on the pump motors to detect low frequency vibrations that can indicate potential wear, "smart" is exactly what these wells are becoming.... There are a variety of sensors currently used for downhole monitoring ranging from fiber optic to acoustic to quartz crystal sensors.

CONT

Representing a step-change in intelligent well control technology, the new multi-drop capability for hydraulic, downhole flow control valves supports the industry’s overall objectives. These include improving reservoir recovery, and removing complexity and operating capital for future interventions. They also include ... effective monitoring and control for production management.

OBS

Much has been ... written about intelligent well technology (IWT), but not everyone agrees as to what constitutes an intelligent well (IW). Some feel that merely the use of permanent downhole gauges (PDGs) that monitor and collect wellbore and/or reservoir data, constitutes an IW. Then there are others who believe that use of simple hydraulic-controlled, remote-operated, downhole-flow-control devices with only on/off position control but no downhole monitoring, should be considered an IW. A definition accepted .... among others, is that an IW installation is one that includes all of the following capabilities: Monitoring: The ability to monitor wellbore and/or reservoir characteristics in real time; Optimization: Analyze the data from monitoring, and pro-actively adjust flow regimes from multiple zones or laterals; Flow control: Utilization of remotely operated downhole-flow-control devices ... for adjustment of flow regimes.

OBS

The development of intelligent well technology began in the late 1980s. New downhole technology to better monitor and control production without intervention was seen as a solution to maximize the potential of aging reservoirs. Applications for permanent seismic sensing as a reservoir optimization tool grew out of conventional borehole seismic techniques that have been used for many years.

In the last lesson we learned to turn using the ailerons to roll the aeroplane into a banked attitude, and the elevator to raise the nose slightly to maintain the required lift by increasing the wings’ angle of attack. But the rudder plays an important part here as well. As we roll into the turn adverse yaw will try to point the nose in the wrong direction and so we will need to apply rudder in the direction of the turn as we roll. Once we are established in the turn the design of modern ailerons is such that adverse yaw is greatly reduced and we may not need to continue to apply rudder to keep the ball in the middle.

Thermocouple Psychrometry. A relatively modern technique for measuring water potential uses the flow of current through a small thin thermocouple(TC) to measure the water content of the vapor phase above a sample. Electrical current flows through a TC as a function of temperature, and temperature changes as water evaporates off the TC. The flux of water off the TC is determined by the amount of water in the vapor phase, which in turn, depends upon the water potential of the sample. Today, we will measure the water potential as well as the osmotic potential of some plant samples using the Decagon thermocouple psychrometer and nanovoltmeter. This device has nine sample chambers. We will fill three of the chambers with standard solutions to provide calibration of the TC, three with leaf samples, and three with crushed leaf samples(crushed to eliminate pressure potential P, leaving only osmotic potential as contributing to water potential). We will then let the samples equilibrate for 2 hours. We will need to calibrate the Decagon instrument to correct for the effect of temperature, pressure, and relative humidity on it's performance.

OBS

psychrometer. A device consisting of two thermometers, one of which is covered with a water saturated wick, used for determining relative humidity; for a given set of wet bulb and dry bulb temperature readings, relative humidity is read from a chart.

Actuellement les deux techniques les plus courantes de mesures du potentiel hydrique [...] sont : - le micropsychromètre. Le principe de la mesure est le suivant : si deux phases, une liquide ou solide, l'autre gazeuse, d'une même substance, ici l'eau, sont en équilibre, leurs potentiels hydriques sont les mêmes. Il est donc possible de mesurer le potentiel hydrique d'un tissu en déterminant le potentiel de la vapeur d'eau de l'air en équilibre avec lui dans des petites chambres de volume inférieur à un centimètre cube où l'échantillon étudié est enfermé pendant quelques heures. Le potentiel hydrique de l'air en mégapascal est alors égal à 1,064 T log U.

CONT

To do a parallel turn, traverse across an easy, well-groomed slope in an open stance and transfer your weight to the uphill ski.

OBS

In a parallel turn, the skier transfers his weight from the downhill ski to the uphill ski with a flexion(unweighting) and extension(weighting the then uphill ski to make it the downhill one). The expression "parallel turn" stands for each individual turn, and "parallel christie" for an individual turn as well as for a sequence of turns.

CONT

Pour exécuter un virage parallèle, le skieur, alors en traversée, fait une flexion et un planté de bâton aval, puis une extension au moment où son corps passe vis-à-vis le bâton. L'allègement des skis que ce mouvement provoque leur fait prendre la ligne de pente; le skieur fait alors une seconde flexion, transférant le poids de son corps sur le ski extérieur au virage, ce qui complète le virage et positionne les skis de nouveau en traversée, prêts pour l'enchaînement avec un autre virage.

OBS

L'expression «virage parallèle» ou «virage en parallèle» se dit d'un virage exécuté les skis parallèles. Au pluriel, les mêmes expressions ont le sens d'exécuter une série de ces virages de même que celui de skier en parallèle, ce qui rend ces termes synonymes entre eux. Cette séquence étant à la base de tout ce qui s'exécute avec les skis parallèles, on parle aussi de «parallèle de base».
