Structural reliability optimization using an efficient safety index calculation procedure

The objective of this paper is to conduct reliability-based structural optimization in a multidisciplinary environment. An efficient reliability analysis is developed by expanding the limit functions in terms of intermediate design variables. The design constraints are approximated using multivariate splines in searching for the optimum. The reduction in computational cost realized in safety index calculation and optimization are demonstrated through several structural problems. This paper presents safety index computation, analytical sensitivity analysis of reliability constraints and optimization using truss, frame and plate examples.     

茨21-133井CO2吞吐技术初步试验

茨榆坨油田茨13块原油属于普通稠油，1993年开始蒸汽吞吐采油，从第二轮开始效果明显变差，注汽返排率低，有效周期短，产量下降快，套管变形井增多。针对这些问题，在该区块茨21—133井进行CO2吞吐采油工艺现场试验，获得成功，增油效果明显。     

二元复合驱阶段见效特征

针对孤东油田油藏条件，通过室内试验研究，确定了以胜利石油磺酸盐为活性剂主剂和聚合物的二元复合驱油体系，通过两者之间的协同效应，增加水驱波及体积和洗油效率。该体系在孤东油田七区西馆上54—61层进行试验，取得了较好的阶段性降水增油效果。本文分析了复合驱见效特征和影响见效因素，为下步跟踪分析调整具有指导意义。     

基于粗糙集的生产环境数据挖掘系统方法

针对粗糙集确定性模型缺乏处理不确定信息的特点，Z．Pawlak等提出了粗糙集的概率模型，但该模型没有包括如何处理生产数据集纷繁复杂数据的方法，因此提出了应用粗糙集于生产环境数据挖掘的一种系统方法，并应用UCI的数据集对该方法进行了检验，实验结果体现了它的性能与有效性。     

吸水膨胀型膨润土/交联聚丙烯酰胺颗粒堵剂

使丙烯酰胺、少量N，N-亚甲基双丙烯酰胺在钙膨润土存在下进行水溶液引发接枝共聚合，聚合产物经造粒、粉碎、筛分，得到粒径0．5～1．0mm的颗粒堵剂。根据颗粒堵剂吸水量大小确定丙烯酰胺与膨润土最佳质量比为7：1，引发剂最佳用量为500g／t，交联剂最佳用量为300g／t，吸水量与这3个参数之间的关系曲线都经过最大值，颗粒堵剂在去离子水中的吸水量为560～650mL/g。该堵剂已大规模生产，在胜利、中原油田许多采油厂已用于调剖、堵水和调驱施工，在青海、江苏、大港、冀东等油田也已开始使用。在胜利东辛采油厂的一个井组，连续3个月在3口井注入该堵剂共27t，使井口压力上升3MPa，产油量大幅度增加。表l参l。

胜利油田交联聚合物驱、封堵大孔道中使用Cr3+交联的HPAM凝胶。探讨了Cr3+交联剂的检测方法。将4种商品HPAM和6种商品Cr3+交联剂在矿化度5727mg/L、钙镁含量108mg/L的胜利盐水中配制成24个HPAM/Cr3+成胶溶液,根据70℃下反应72h后在70℃测定的凝胶相对强度(要求在代码C以上),确定使用分子量1.11×107、水解度28.8%的一种HPAM,配液浓度为1300mg/L。推荐采用在70℃、振荡频率f=0.422s-1测定的复数粘度η 和储能模量G′表示凝胶的强度,给出了HPAM浓度不同、各Cr3+交联剂浓度为最低需要量的6种凝胶的η 和G′值;推荐取G′值达到0.1Pa的时间为成胶时间,由上述6种体系的G′ t曲线求出成胶时间在98～300min范围。提出其他应测定的性能包括:成胶溶液抗剪切性,凝胶热稳定性(抗热老化性),凝胶抗温性,凝胶抗盐性及岩心堵水率,对测定方法作了详略不等的讨论。特别指出,用于热老化实验的成胶溶液必须彻底除氧,否则粘时曲线的变化将无规律(给出了实例)。图7表7参3。     

Environmental Effects of Hydro-Electric Power Generation in Africa and the Potential for Artificial Floods

Electricity is a fundamental requirement for economic growth, and hydro-electric power is often thought to be environmentally benign. However, the construction and operation of many hydro-power dams in Africa have had significant negative impacts on the environment and rural economies. Reduced downstream flooding has destroyed fisheries and starved the floodplain soils of moisture and nutrients. Often the worst-affected areas have no electrification and therefore do not benefit from power generation. New dams which are planned in Kenya and Tanzania have been specifically designed to make flood releases. This will allow electricity to be generated whilst maintaining a dynamic flooding pattern for the short-term economic importance of fisheries and agriculture and the longer-term importance of soil fertility and biodiversity. Involvement of local community representatives in deciding when flood waters should be released on the Phongolo River in South Africa has resulted in substantial benefits to floodplain users.     

对聚合物驱单井效果评价的几点认识

通过对喇嘛甸油田聚合物驱单井效果分析，给出了采油井阶段效果评价方法，即单井见效时间和含水回升时间早晚的确定方法，单井见效时间取决于油层条件，注聚前含油饱和度及累计采出地下体积倍数，单井含水回升时间主要取决于聚驱阶段剩余储量采出程度，根据单井阶段评价结果，对试验区进行跟踪调整，在单井阶段效果评价的基础上，对单井最终效果采用吨聚增油量和聚驱阶段剩余储量采收率来进行客观，有效的评价，对聚驱产量预测具有一定指导意义。     

Application of Acoustic Wave Propagation Analysis Methods for Monitoring a Miscible Mixing Zone in Porous Media

The Biot's acoustics theory, which describes acoustic wave propagation in a porous medium, and computer simulation techniques were utilized to model the behavior of acoustic waves entering and leaving a mixing zone in a miscible displacement in porous media. The results indicate that the angles of waves produced by a mixing zone are equal to angles of waves produced by an abrupt fluid-fluid interface. Therefore, acoustic methods and a relationship between the incident, reflection, and transmission angles can be used to determine the location and thickness of the mixing zone during a miscible displacement process in porous media.     

喇8-182井区聚合物驱不可及孔隙体积研究

喇嘛甸油田喇8-182井区高Ⅱ1-18油层渗透率低、物性差,属于三类油层,是聚合物驱的主力接替潜力层。文中在油层性质对比分析的基础上,应用计算法和数值模拟方法研究了高Ⅱ1-18油层的聚合物驱不可及孔隙体积并进行了对比。研究结果表明,计算法简单易行,成本低,能够充分考虑分子量、矿化度等的影响;但这种方法只考虑了由于孔隙直径过小而导致的不可及孔隙体积,无法表达由于压力梯度不足而造成的不可及孔隙体积,因此计算结果偏小,只适合于分子量的初步优选。数值模拟方法充分考虑了启动压力梯度和压力场的影响,计算结果更加符合实际情况,适合于在已经初步选定分子量范围的情况下,模拟不可及孔隙体积。不可及孔隙体积随注入速度增加而减小,高Ⅱ1-18油层不可及孔隙体积在0.2～0.3之间。最后建议喇8-182井区聚合物驱注入速度控制在0.2PV/a以内。
