ABSTRACT

A new methodology is proposed to use comprehensive up-to-date commercial software tools for Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) reliability modelling and optimisation. The idea behind this proposal is that to apply the combination of specific HEN optimisation and reliability software packages has several advantages over the commonly used approach. There is a variety of features that need to be taken into account to choose the right software tool. The HEN design has a significant impact on reliability issues and this should be considered. There are many related issues and features - the robustness, the type of welding, the increment of maximum mechanical resistance, the impact on manufacturing costs, reduction of lost opportunity costs caused by exchanger outages, troubleshooting of heating exchanger problems by operators etc. Fouling should be analysed as it has a significant impact on maintenance issues. Up to 30 % decrease of maintenance costs can be achieved annually by applying advanced reliability results and determining heat exchanger failure causes. These analyses include the investigation of failure causes, prediction of future probabilities of failures, cleaning planning and scheduling and the calculation of reliability and maintainability.

Keywords: heat exchangers, modelling and optimisation, design of network, oil refinery, heat recovery systems.

ABSTRACT

The article presents information about the study of pumps used in drilling wells, cementing protective belts, pumping clay into wells while drilling, developing productive horizons, as well as their operation, their sealing units. During piston pump operation, the seal assemblies are subjected to fluid pressure from both sides of the piston. Liquid and slurry handling equipment operates under high loads such as erosion, corrosion, cavitation and abrasion. Such cases have a significant impact on the degradation of pump performance, corrosion of the pump sliding surfaces, leading to a decrease in FIE, an increase in power consumption, and an increase in the overall service life for calculations. Failure to address these issues will jeopardize the integrity of the pumping equipment and result in equipment failure.

Keywords: piston pump, valve pair, valve seat, valve plate, valve seal, plunger.

ABSTRACT

During hydraulic fracturing operations of low-permeability reservoirs, packers are the key component to ensure the success of multistage fracturing. Packers enable sections of the wellbore to be sealed of and separately fractured by hydraulic pressure, one at a time, while the remainder of the wellbore is not afected. However, reliable sealing properties of the packer rubber are required to meet the high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions of reservoirs (such as 70 MPa and 170 °C). In this study, the structures of the packer rubber with two diferent materials are optimized numerically by ABAQUS and validated by experiments. The optimization process starts from the packer rubber with a conventional structure, and then, the weakest spots are identifed by ABAQUS and improved by slightly varying its structure. This process is iterative, and the fnal optimized structure of a single rubber barrel with expanding back-up rings is achieved. For the structure of three rubber barrels with metallic protective covers, both HNBR and AFLAS fail under HPHT conditions. For the fnal optimized structure, the packer rubber made of AFLAS can work better under HPHT than that made of HNBR which ruptures after setting. The results show that the optimized structure of a single rubber barrel with expanding back-up rings and the material AFLAS are a good combination for the packer rubber playing an excellent sealing performance in multistage fracturing in horizontal wells.

Keywords: packer rubber, sealing property, structure optimization, hydrogenated nitrile–butadiene rubber (HNBR), AFLAS rubber.

ABSTRACT

In the presented work, the differential equation of motion of the elements of the screen is compiled with generalized coordinates. Since the device has two degrees of freedom during vibration, two nonlinear differential equations have been written. Since it depends on the specific frequency, as well as the mass of drilling fluid and the angular velocity of the vibrating frame, it can be concluded that a vibrating screen can work more effectively at a certain value of the amplitude of the oscillation.

Keywords: Drilling fluid, vibrating screens, kinetic energy, generalized coordinates, Lagrange equation, angular velocity, amplitude.
