Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. Finally it is also intended to serve as a reference book for mathematicians college teachers and students. | Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing Principles and Applications

Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing Principles and Applications

Sonic Detection and Ranging (SODAR) systems and Radio Acoustic Sounding Systems (RASS) use sound waves to determine wind speed wind direction and turbulent character of the atmosphere. They are increasingly used for environmental and scientific applications such as analyzing ground-level pollution dispersion and monitoring conditions affecting wind energy generation. However until now there have been no reliable references on SODAR and RASS for practitioners in the field as well as non-experts who wish to understand and implement this technology to their own applications. Authored by an internationally known expert in the design and use of SODAR/RASS technology Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications systematically explains the underlying science principles and operational aspects of acoustic radars. Abundant diagrams and figures including eight pages of full-color images enhance clear guidelines and tools for handling calibration error equipment hardware sampling and data analysis. The final chapter explores applications in environmental research boundary layer research wind power and loading complex terrain and sound speed profiles. Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing offers SODAR and RASS users as well as general remote sensing practitioners environmental scientists and engineers a straightforward guide for using SODARs to perform wind measurements and data analysis for scientific environmental or alternative monitoring applications. | Atmospheric Acoustic Remote Sensing Principles and Applications

Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World WalkingLab

Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World WalkingLab

As a research methodology walking has a diverse and extensive history in the social sciences and humanities underscoring its value for conducting research that is situated relational and material. Building on the importance of place sensory inquiry embodiment and rhythm within walking research this book offers four new concepts for walking methodologies that are accountable to an ethics and politics of the more-than-human: Land and geos affect transmaterial and movement. The book carefully considers the more-than-human dimensions of walking methodologies by engaging with feminist new materialisms posthumanisms affect theory trans and queer theory Indigenous theories and critical race and disability scholarship. These more-than-human theories rub frictionally against the history of walking scholarship and offer crucial insights into the potential of walking as a qualitative research methodology in a more-than-human world. Theoretically innovative the book is grounded in examples of walking research by WalkingLab an international research network on walking (www. walkinglab. org). The book is rich in scope engaging with a wide range of walking methods and forms including: long walks on hiking trails geological walks sensory walks sonic art walks processions orienteering races protest and activist walks walking tours dérives peripatetic mapping school-based walking projects and propositional walks. The chapters draw on WalkingLab’s research-creation events to examine walking in relation to settler colonialism affective labour transspecies participation racial geographies and counter-cartographies youth literacy environmental education and collaborative writing. The book outlines how more-than-human theories can influence and shape walking methodologies and provokes a critical mode of walking-with that engenders solidarity accountability and response-ability. This volume will appeal to graduate students artists and academics and researchers who are interested in Education Cultural Studies Queer Studies Affect Studies Geography Anthropology and (Post)Qualitative Research Methods. | Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World WalkingLab

Data Management Using Stata A Practical Handbook

Data Management Using Stata A Practical Handbook

This second edition of Data Management Using Stata focuses on tasks that bridge the gap between raw data and statistical analysis. It has been updated throughout to reflect new data management features that have been added over the last 10 years. Such features include the ability to read and write a wide variety of file formats the ability to write highly customized Excel files the ability to have multiple Stata datasets open at once and the ability to store and manipulate string variables stored as Unicode. Further this new edition includes a new chapter illustrating how to write Stata programs for solving data management tasks. As in the original edition the chapters are organized by data management areas: reading and writing datasets cleaning data labeling datasets creating variables combining datasets processing observations across subgroups changing the shape of datasets and programming for data management. Within each chapter each section is a self-contained lesson illustrating a particular data management task (for instance creating date variables or automating error checking) via examples. This modular design allows you to quickly identify and implement the most common data management tasks without having to read background information first. In addition to the “nuts and bolts” examples author Michael Mitchell alerts users to common pitfalls (and how to avoid them) and provides strategic data management advice. This book can be used as a quick reference for solving problems as they arise or can be read as a means for learning comprehensive data management skills. New users will appreciate this book as a valuable way to learn data management while experienced users will find this information to be handy and time saving—there is a good chance that even the experienced user will learn some new tricks. | Data Management Using Stata A Practical Handbook
