There has been a tendency in oil and gas industry towards the adoption of multilateral wells (MLWs) with completions that incorporate multiple types of flow control devices (FCDs). In this completion technique, passive inflow control devices (ICDs) o...

This paper presents a coupled computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD–DEM) simulation to predict cuttings transport by the drilling fluid (mud) in different oil well drilling conditions. The mud rheology is expressed by...

Pillar stability is of paramount importance in ensuring the safety of underground rock engineering structures. The stability of pillars directly influences the structural integrity of the mine and mitigates the risk of collapses or accidents. Therefo...

Located in the Kuqa foreland basin, Tarim Basin, the Xinkeshen gas field is a rare ultra-deep and ultra-high-pressure fractured tight sandstone gas reservoir. During the development process, the fluid in the well migrates from the bottom hole to the...

Given the demand for extremely low sulfur content in 5 wt% Si high-silicon austenitic stainless steel (SS-5Si), smelting utilizes a slag composition of CaF2-CaO-Al2O3-MgO-SiO2 with a basicity of 1 to 3, Al2O3 content ranging from 2.04 to 9.61%, and C...

The compatibility of constituents making up a petroleum fluid has been recognized as an important factor for trouble-free operations in the petroleum industry. The fouling of equipment and desalting efficiency deteriorations are the results of dealin...

In low-voltage distribution networks, distributed energy storage systems (DESSs) are widely used to manage load uncertainty and voltage stability. Accurate modeling and estimation of voltage fluctuations are crucial to informed DESS dispatch decision...

Most textile manufacturing companies in the world heavily rely on manual labor, particularly in the fabric inspection section, especially for cotton fabric. Establishing smart manufacturing systems like industrial automation in the textile industry f...

Coal seam pressure is an important parameter for production performance evaluation and prediction of coalbed methane (CBM). CBM production from undersaturated CBM reservoirs can be divided into two stages according to critical desorption pressure. At...

Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) is used in the ecofriendly production of sodium sulfide (Na2S) through H2 reduction, thereby facilitating the valorization of Na2SO4. However, studies on this technique remain at the laboratory stage. This paper proposes a nov...
