MRL is a family that uses memristors along with CMOS inverters to design logic gates. Two-input NAND and NOR gates are investigated using the stuck at fault model for the memristors and the five-fault model for the transistors. Test escapes may take place while testing faults in the memristors. Therefore, two solutions are proposed to obtain full coverage for the MRL NAND and NOR gates. The first is to apply scaled input voltages and the second is to change the switching threshold of the CMOS inverter. In addition, it is shown that test speed and order should be taken into consideration. It is proven that three ordered test vectors are needed for full coverage in MRL NAND and NOR gates, which is different from the order required to obtain 100% coverage in the conventional NAND and NOR CMOS designs.展开更多

The minimum downhole pressures required to maintain borehole stability under different natural fracture occurrences were calculated by using the data from a well in the Tazhong （central Tarim） area, Tarim Basin, west China. Several conclusions were drawn for naturally fractured reservoirs with a dip angle from less than 10° to greater than 30°. Application in three wells in the Tazhong area indicates that this model is practically useful.展开更多

Productive test was carried out for validating the practical use of this drying method. The test result shows that to dispose flexible screen belts on the two sides of hot board could help steam discharge remarkably. The veneer dried using ICD-fsb method had smooth and level surface, less deformation and warping, even moisture content, and high utilization rate. The time for opening hot board to discharge steam,which, early or late, is a key to obtain good drying result, was determined at the time when the core's temperature of veneer reaches 100℃ (vaporization). Using ICD-fsb method, the shrinking rates in tangent of veneer were from 1.90% to 2.26% for veneer of 0.4 mm in thickness,2.49% to 4.50% for veneer of 1 mm in thickness and 1.34% to 3.30% for veneer of 1.7 mm in thickness, which are much lower than the results obtained by other drying methods. The method of ICD-fsb offers a reliable technological guarantee for solving the deformation problem of veneer drying, especially the deformation of wood from quick-growing plantation.展开更多

To avoid their damage to offshore engineering, a new generation of monitoring and early warning system for ISWs was developed using technologies of double buoys monitoring, intelligent realtime data transmission, and automatic software identification. The system was applied to the second natural gas hydrates(NGHs) production test in the Shenhu Area, South China Sea(SCS) and successfully provided the early warning of ISWs for 173 days(from October 2019 to April 2020). The abrupt changes in the thrust force of the drilling platform under the attack of ISWs were consistent with the early warning information, proving the reliability of this system. A total of 93 ISWs were detected around the drilling platform. Most of them occurred during the spring tides in October–December 2019 and April 2020, while few of them occurred in winter. As suggested by the theoretical model, the full-depth structure of ISWs was a typical current profile of mode-1, and the velocities of wave-induced currents can reach 80 cm/s and30 cm/s, respectively, in the upper ocean and near the seabed. The ISWs may be primarily generated from the interactions between the topography and semidiurnal tides in the Luzon Strait, and then propagate westward to the drilling platform. This study could serve as an important reference for the early warning of ISWs for offshore engineering construction in the future.展开更多

Two-input NAND and NOR gates are investigated using the stuck at fault model for the memristors and the five-fault model for the transistors.

文摘Clayey silt reservoirs bearing natural gas hydrates(NGH)are considered to be the hydrate-bearing reservoirs that boast the highest reserves but tend to be the most difficult to exploit.They are proved to be exploitable by the first NGH production test conducted in the South China Sea in 2017.Based on the understanding of the first production test,the China Geological Survey determined the optimal target NGH reservoirs for production test and conducted a detailed assessment,numerical and experimental simulation,and onshore testing of the reservoirs.After that,it conducted the second offshore NGH production test in 1225 m deep Shenhu Area,South China Sea(also referred to as the second production test)from October 2019 to April 2020.During the second production test,a series of technical challenges of drilling horizontal wells in shallow soft strata in deep sea were met,including wellhead stability,directional drilling of a horizontal well,reservoir stimulation and sand control,and accurate depressurization.As a result,30 days of continuous gas production was achieved,with a cumulative gas production of 86.14×104 m3.Thus,the average daily gas production is 2.87×10^4 m^3,which is 5.57 times as much as that obtained in the first production test.Therefore,both the cumulative gas production and the daily gas production were highly improved compared to the first production test.As indicated by the monitoring results of the second production test,there was no anomaly in methane content in the seafloor,seawater,and atmosphere throughout the whole production test.This successful production test further indicates that safe and effective NGH exploitation is feasible in clayey silt NGH reservoirs.The industrialization of hydrates consists of five stages in general,namely theoretical research and simulation experiments,exploratory production test,experimental production test,productive production test,and commercial production.The second production test serves as an important step from the exploratory production test to experimental production test.

Several conclusions were drawn for naturally fractured reservoirs with a dip angle from less than 10° to greater than 30°. Application in three wells in the Tazhong area indicates that this model is practically useful.

文摘A newly drying technology, intermittent-contact drying of veneer with flexible screen belt (ICD-fbs), was invented and used in poplar veneer drying. Productive test was carried out for validating the practical use of this drying method. The test result shows that to dispose flexible screen belts on the two sides of hot board could help steam discharge remarkably. The veneer dried using ICD-fsb method had smooth and level surface, less deformation and warping, even moisture content, and high utilization rate. The time for opening hot board to discharge steam,which, early or late, is a key to obtain good drying result, was determined at the time when the core's temperature of veneer reaches 100℃ (vaporization). Using ICD-fsb method, the shrinking rates in tangent of veneer were from 1.90% to 2.26% for veneer of 0.4 mm in thickness,2.49% to 4.50% for veneer of 1 mm in thickness and 1.34% to 3.30% for veneer of 1.7 mm in thickness, which are much lower than the results obtained by other drying methods. The method of ICD-fsb offers a reliable technological guarantee for solving the deformation problem of veneer drying, especially the deformation of wood from quick-growing plantation.

文摘Traditional suction anchor technology is mainly used in the fields of subsea structure bearing foundations,single-point mooring systems and offshore wind power.It is characterized by providing sufficient lateral and vertical bearing capacities and lateral bending moment.The anchor structure of a traditional suction anchor structure is improved with wellhead suction anchor technology,where a central pipe is added as a channel for drilling and completion operations.To solve the technical problems of a low wellhead bearing capacity,shallow built-up depth,and limited application of conductor jetting in the second production test of natural gas hydrates(NGHs)in the South China Sea(SCS),the China Geological Survey(CGS)took the lead in independently designing and manufacturing a wellhead suction anchor,which fulfilled the requirements of the production test.This novel anchor was successfully implemented in the second production test for the first time,providing a stable wellhead foundation for the success of the second production test of NGHs in the SCS.

文摘High concentrated and heterogeneous distribution of gas hydrates have been identified in the gas hydrate production test region in the Shenhu area,South China Sea.The gas hydrate-bearing sediments with high saturation locate at two ridges of submarine canyon with different thickness and saturations just above the bottom simulating reflection.The crossplots of gamma ray,acoustic impedance(P-impedance)and porosity at four sites show that the sediments can be divided into the upper and lower layers at different depths,indicating different geotechnical reservoir properties.Therefore,the depositional environments and physical properties at two ridges are analyzed and compared to show the different characteristics of hydrate reservoir.High porosity,high P-wave velocity,and coarse grain size indicate better reservoir quality and higher energy depositional environment for gas hydrate at Sites W18 and W19 than those at Sites W11 and W17.Our interpretation is that the base of canyon deposits at Sites W18 and W19 characterized by upward-coarsening units may be turbidity sand layers,thus significantly improving the reservoir quality with increasing gas hydrate saturation.The shelf and slope sliding deposits compose of the fine-grained sediments at Sites W11 and W17.The gas hydrate production test sites were conducted at the ridge of W11 and W17,mainly because of the thicker and larger area of gas hydrate-bearing reservoirs than those at Sites W18 and W19.All the results provide useful insights for assessing reservoir quality in the Shenhu area.

文摘More than 90%of natural gas hydrates(hereinafter,hydrate for short)in the South China Sea are non-diagenetic ore bodies,so they cannot be exploited easily by means of the conventional methods.In this paper,the solid fluidization method,as one of the revolutionary technologies in efficient exploitation of non-diagenetic natural gas hydrates,was,for the first time,put forward by Academician Zhou Shouwei.And it is successfully applied in the Shenhu Area of the South China Sea based on the technologies,equipment and processes which rely on domestic independent intellectual property rights.During the production test of fluidization,the ore bodies of hydrates are broken by the jet at the bottom hole into fine particles and carried upward by the drilling fluid.When the phase equilibrium state is reached with the increase of temperature and the decrease of pressure affected by the operation parameters,which is different from conventional phase equilibrium state,the hydrates bearing solid particles are decomposed,and consequently liquid-solid flow in the annulus becomes complex gas-liquid-solid multiphase flow.Therefore,it is necessary to optimize the construction parameters design so as to meet the high-level requirements of well control safety.In this paper,the engineering parameters are optimally designed based on the engineering geological characteristics of the target block,combined with the analysis on complex multiphase flow in the wellbore.Then,a theoretical model and a numerical calculation method for the multiphase flow,temperature and pressure of complex media in wellbores and the phase equilibrium and decomposition of natural gas hydrates were established.And the multiphase flow in the wellbore during the production test of fluidization was analyzed under different operating parameters by means of numerical simulation,software emulation and experimental verification.And thus,the design optimization scheme of on-site engineering parameters of production test of marine natural gas hydrate fluidization was prepared.It is pointed out that the diameter of jet fluidization well section shall not be excessively large;and that it is necessary to increase the flow rate and density of drilling fluid and apply wellhead back pressure to ensure the cutting carrying safety and to mitigate well control risks.The results of this basic theoretical study can provide significant support to field operation and improvement of output in production tests.

文摘The prevention and control of natural gas hydrate(hereinafter,“hydrate”for short)blockage during deepwater gas well production tests is very important in ensuring the test safety.In this paper,the distribution of wellbore temperature and pressure field under different test conditions was analyzed,and the changes of hydrate deposition and blockage degree in the pipe string in the whole process of test under different test systems were evaluated using the hydrate generationedepositionedecomposition calculation method.On this basis,a deepwater gas well production test method based on hydrate prevention and control was proposed.And the following research results were obtained.First,in the process of deepwater gas well tests,the vaporeliquid phase of annular-mist flow pattern with the greatest risk of hydrate blockage is often formed in the wellbore.Therefore,it is more reasonable to take measures to prevent hydrate blockage in the process of tests than to prevent the formation of hydrate.Second,when the conventional four-point test method is used,it is required to set low gas production measurement points with lower flowing temperature.In the wellbore with high temperature and low temperature,however,hydrate tends to form and deposit easily,and a long period of test will increase the risk of test string blockage.Third,the mixed-sequence test system suitable for deepwater gas well tests can change wellbore temperature by adjusting the sequence of measuring points without changing the production rate and duration,so as to decompose hydrate sediment layers and reduce the maximum blockage degree of test string in the process of tests.Fourth,a three-point or two-point test method is recommended for deepwater gas wells without sand production,stress sensitivity,retrograde condensation and water production.Superior to the conventional four-point test method,three-point and two-point test methods can effectively reduce the risk of hydrate deposition and blockage in the test string,and it can shorten the testing time and reduce the test cost on the premise of ensuring the accuracy of the productivity equation.In conclusion,the research results are of help to the field test construction of deepwater gas wells.

文摘Internal solitary waves(ISWs) contain great energy and have the characteristics of emergency and concealment. To avoid their damage to offshore engineering, a new generation of monitoring and early warning system for ISWs was developed using technologies of double buoys monitoring, intelligent realtime data transmission, and automatic software identification. The system was applied to the second natural gas hydrates(NGHs) production test in the Shenhu Area, South China Sea(SCS) and successfully provided the early warning of ISWs for 173 days(from October 2019 to April 2020). The abrupt changes in the thrust force of the drilling platform under the attack of ISWs were consistent with the early warning information, proving the reliability of this system. A total of 93 ISWs were detected around the drilling platform. Most of them occurred during the spring tides in October–December 2019 and April 2020, while few of them occurred in winter. As suggested by the theoretical model, the full-depth structure of ISWs was a typical current profile of mode-1, and the velocities of wave-induced currents can reach 80 cm/s and30 cm/s, respectively, in the upper ocean and near the seabed. The ISWs may be primarily generated from the interactions between the topography and semidiurnal tides in the Luzon Strait, and then propagate westward to the drilling platform. This study could serve as an important reference for the early warning of ISWs for offshore engineering construction in the future.

文摘In this work,the authors monitored the formation and dissociation process of methane hydrate in four different rock core samples through nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)relaxation time(T_(2))and 2D imaging measurement.The result shows that the intensity of T_(2) spectra and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)signals gradually decreases in the hydrate formation process,and at the same time,the T_(2) spectra move toward the left domain as the growth of hydrate in the pores of the sample accelerates the decay rate.The hydrate grows and dissociates preferentially in the purer sandstone samples with larger pore size and higher porosity.Significantly,for the sample with lower porosity and higher argillaceous content,the intensity of the T_(2) spectra also shows a trend of a great decrease in the hydrate formation process,which means that high-saturation gas hydrate can also be formed in the sample with higher argillaceous content.The changes in MRI of the sample in the process show that the formation and dissociation of methane hydrate can reshape the distribution of water in the pores.

文摘The traditional explanation was found to be inconsistent with the empirical evidence that mainly caused the agricultural crisis in 1959-1961, so Yifu Lin tried to explain this catastrophe through using Game Theory based on ＂one-shot game＂. This paper tested the hypothesis through quantitative test. The results showed that system factors mainly resulted in low productivity, and the natural disaster should not be ignored.

文摘Marine natural gas hydrate(NGH)reservoirs in China are characterized by shallow burial depth and weak cementing.In view of these characteristics,it is in an urgent need to develop a series of technologies and support tools to ensure safe,economical,green and efficient NGH exploitation.In this paper,a new technical idea of NGH jet breaking and fluidization exploitation without changing the temperature and pressure conditions of NGH reservoirs was proposed,and the support nozzle tools for NGH jet breaking was designed,experimentally tested and optimized.Then,the relationships between the jet breaking parameters of nozzles(e.g.working pressure drop,flow rate,and lifting and lowering velocity and frequency)and the borehole diameters and breaking rates of broken NGH were investigated based on laboratory tests,and the field construction engineering charts of NGH jet breaking and fluidization exploitation were established.Finally,this method was practically verified atWell Liwan 3 in the South China Sea.And following research results were obtained.First,the NGH jet breaking and fluidization exploitation technology can increase the production efficiency of NGH exploitation,protect the safety of reservoir bottom and reduce the energy consumption of NGH exploitation.Second,by using the nozzle tools of NGH jet breaking,the generated borehole diameters are regular,broken particles can flow back well,and the lowering velocity of jet breaking without pilot holes is less than 7.1 m/h.Third,the engineering charts of NGH jet breaking and fluidization exploitation interpret the influential laws of jet breaking behaviors and construction parameters on the borehole diameters and breaking rates of NGH so as to provide a reference for the selection of NGH production test technology parameters.And fourth,the successful implementation of the NGH jet breaking and fluidization technology in the production tests ofWell Liwan 3 verifies the feasibility of NGH jet breaking and fluidization exploitation process,and exhibits its promising application prospects in NGH future commercial exploitation.

文摘In order to produce natural gas hydrate safely and efficiently,it is quite crucial to research the stability of hydrate reservoir in the process of its exploitation.The coupled thermal-hydrodynamic-mechanical(THM)numerical simulation can clearly present the mechanical response laws in the process of hydrate exploitation by horizontal well,but the model is often simplified as a profile vertical to the production well,so the evolution characteristics of real formation deformation space cannot be described sufficiently.To this end,this paper develops a coupled THM simulator applicable to the large-scale hydrate exploitation by horizontal well by introducing interactive interface to the FLAC mechanics program based on the hydrate exploitation program TOUGHþHYDRATE.Then,based on the field data of second hydrate production test in South China Sea,the gas and water production and formation deformation laws under the middle-and long-term development conditions of horizontal wells are studied by taking the actual gas production of horizontal well during the production test as the constraint of coupled THM model.And the following research results are obtained.First,when the production pressure is 7 MPa and the horizontal well length is 300 m,the gas production of horizontal well can reach 1190×10^(4)m^(3),the pressure drop has a larger influence range in the free gas layer,the produced gas mainly comes from the free gas layer and the hydrate layer and the hydrate dissociation range is not large.Second,it is predicted that the seafloor settlement is about 0.16 m after 60 days'production test and 0.52 m after osne year's production.In conclusion,hydrate exploitation by horizontal well can cause a large range of seafloor settlement.The seafloor surface settles linearly and continuously and the spatial settlement distribute is in the shape of ellipse.What's more,the greatest deformation(vertical displacement)occurs at the horizontal well and above it,where formation damage happens the easiest.It is recommended to study seafloor deformation and landslip risk under the conditions of middle and long-term production based on seafloor topography,valley distribution and nonuniform spatial thickness of mineral ores.
