We investigate the feasibility of using terahertz imaging to quantify the relative dodecane (C 12 H 26 ) content and long-term stability of dodecane-surfactant-brine emulsions of varying salinity for their use in surfactant-enhanced oil recovery.
Recently a laboratory testing program was completed that covers an important and yet unexplored area of ethanol stress corrosion cracking (eSCC) of steel equipment in ethanol distribution and blending facilities. This...

The paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a pipeline span exposed to sea bottom currents. The pipeline lies on the seabed at one end and departs the seabed to attach to a PLET (pipeline end termination) at the other end. The suspended span in-between is referred to as a 'free span'. When exposed to sea bottom currents the free span may experience vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), which may cause fatigue damage to the pipeline. The length of the suspended span is 95 ft, and the gap to diameter ratio varies along the length from 0.0 at the seabed touch point to approximately 2.0 at the PLET. The sea bottom current at a reduced velocity of 3.2 is an extreme event for this span. The VIV response of the pipe span is predicted by coupling a three-dimensional viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes solver with a beam finite element solver. Parameters such as turbulence in the flow, proximity of the seabed, pipe sagging due to submerged weight, and pipe-soil interaction, are all accounted for in the FSI simulation. The motivation for such a considerable simulation effort is to gain insight into VIV of pipe spans in proximity of the seabed, and in the long-term to manifest this insight in a set of design guidelines for free spanning pipelines. Design guidelines for free spans are typically based on VIV amplitude and frequency responses for isolated pipes, with little regard to effects of seabed proximity. This may result in overly conservative designs and/or expensive span remediation recommendations, when in reality no span remediation is required. Copyright 2010, Offshore technology Conference.
I developed a new robust 5D inlerpolalion melhod for seismic data regularization with a preconditioned least-squares inversion. Based on the assumption of linearity, the preconditioner is derived from the amplitude sp...

shell has been working to reduce CO2 emissions in six ways, i.e., by using energy more efficiently in their operations, reducing Energy/GDP;by building their capability in CO2 carbon capture and storage, which impacts the fraction of carbon captured;Continuous investment in R&D to deliver breakthrough technologies that will increase efficiency and reduce emissions across value chains;development of lower CO2 sources of energy;providing products and services that help customers to use less energy and emit less CO2;and continuous work with governments, industry, and non-governmental organizations and advocating the need for more effective CO2 regulations. shell has also invested substantially in alternative energy and CO2 solutions over the last 5 yr. This includes a new natural gas-fired combined heat and power unit at the Pernis refinery that has cut greenhouse gas emissions by 500,000 ton/yr. shell's R&D efforts in new biofuels technology as well as hydrogen provides the key enablers to reduce carbon footprint on a well-to-wheel basis in the transportation energy value chain, especially for lignocellulosic feedstocks. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE 2010 Spring National Meeting (San Antonio, TX 3/21-25/2010).
In the last two decades shell has been working to simplify and automate field operations processes and sub-processes in its assets throughout the world. This is driven by the need to develop competitive and cost-effic...
