Improving the multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithm for hydropower reservoir operations in the California Oroville–Thermalito complex

This study demonstrates the application of an improved Evolutionary optimization Algorithm (EA), titled Multi-Objective Complex Evolution Global Optimization Method with Principal Component Analysis and Crowding Distance Operator (MOSPD), for the hydropower reservoir operation of the Oroville–Thermalito Complex (OTC) – a crucial head-water resource for the California State Water Project (SWP). In the OTC's water-hydropower joint management study, the nonlinearity of hydropower generation and the reservoir's water elevation–storage relationship are explicitly formulated by polynomial function in order to closely match realistic situations and reduce linearization approximation errors. Comparison among different curve-fitting methods is conducted to understand the impact of the simplification of reservoir topography. In the optimization algorithm development, techniques of crowding distance and principal component analysis are implemented to improve the diversity and convergence of the optimal solutions towards and along the Pareto optimal set in the objective space. A comparative evaluation among the new algorithm MOSPD, the original Multi-Objective Complex Evolution Global Optimization Method (MOCOM), the Multi-Objective Differential Evolution method (MODE), the Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA), the Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing approach (MOSA), and the Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization scheme (MOPSO) is conducted using the benchmark functions. The results show that best the MOSPD algorithm demonstrated the best and most consistent performance when compared with other algorithms on the test problems. The newly developed algorithm (MOSPD) is further applied to the OTC reservoir releasing problem during the snow melting season in 1998 (wet year), 2000 (normal year) and 2001 (dry year), in which the more spreading and converged non-dominated solutions of MOSPD provide decision makers with better operational alternatives for effectively and efficiently managing the OTC reservoirs in response to the different climates, especially drought, which has become more and more severe and frequent in California.

东营凹陷王庄-宁海地区流体包裹体分析与流体充注研究

利用流体包裹体分析技术，系统地分析了东营凹陷王庄-宁海地区覆盖所有含油层位的流体包裹体样品。包裹体荧光观察和均一温度特征分析揭示了包裹体发育期次为5期，说明该区油藏存在5次流体充注过程；据此确定了备期烃类的成藏期次。东营组沉积时期和明化镇组沉积末期的油气运聚均在成藏后遭受大气淡水淋滤和降解作用。沙三段原油可能经历至少2期稠油化作用。荧光观察进一步证实该区主要发生2期充注、2期成藏。     

微构造的地震识别与应用效果

胜利油田的油气勘探具有较大的剩余勘探潜力，且大部分油气蕴藏在微构造油气藏中。微构造油气藏在胜利油田的勘探开发老区均有分布，纵向上从沙四段到东营组均有发育。该类油气藏埋深浅、储层物性好、产量高，具有较高的经济效益。微构造油气藏在国内外研究较少，国内外较注重目的层沉积微构造的研究，且主要是沉积微构造对注采关系的影响。在对复杂断块的精细研究中，以前研究的重点也主要集中在应用钻井资料对断层的成因和对断层封堵性的研究上，而对微构造圈闭的成因、识别及成图，一直没有进行系统的分类研究。文章划分了微构造的类型，研究了微构造的特点，并认为构造作用、沉积作用和后期改造作用是微构造形成的３种主要原因。同时，利用地震资料对微构造圈闭的识别方法和描述技术进行了探索，形成了一套具有针对性的技术系列，取得了显著的效果，这对油气田老区的滚动勘探开发具有重要的意义。

Analytical, numerical and experimental investigations of transverse fracture propagation from horizontal wells

This paper presents results of a comprehensive study involving analytical, numerical and experimental investigations into transverse fracture propagation from horizontal wells. The propagation of transverse hydraulic fractures from horizontal wells is simulated and investigated in the laboratory using carefully designed experimental setups. Closed-form analytical theories for Mode I (opening) stress intensity factors for idealized fracture geometries are reviewed, and a boundary element-based model is used herein to investigate non-planar propagation of fractures. Using the mixed mode fracture propagation criterion of the model, a reasonable agreement is found with respect to fracture geometry, net fracture pressures and fracture propagation paths between the modeled fractures and the laboratory tested fractures. These results suggest that the propagation of multiple fractures requires higher net pressures than a single fracture, the underlying reason of which is theoretically justified on the basis of local stress distribution.
