Análise modal e controle de plataformas offshore sujeitas a perturbações persistentes

Silva, Luciano da 26 May 2014 (has links)
A exploração offshore tem crescido muito nos últimos anos e grandes estruturas e equipamentos têm sido projetados e construídos para remover o óleo que se encontra abaixo da superfície do mar. Para plataformas offshore fixas tipo jaqueta é necessário analisar os problemas decorrentes da exposição dessas instalações ao ambiente hostil do oceano. Estas perturbações induzem vibrações excessivas nas estruturas, afetando o conforto e a estabilidade da instalação, e para combater essas vibrações uma ferramenta matemática foi utilizada para monitorar o estado da integridade da estrutura, a Transformada de Hilbert-Huang (HHT). O HHT foi utilizada com sucesso para a identificação de parâmetros modais, como frequência fundamental e fator de amortecimento da plataforma. Finalmente, uma técnica de controle de vibração ativa baseada no Controle Linear Quadrático (LQ) é implementada com o objetivo de reduzir os efeitos de perturbações oscilatórias indesejáveis causados por ondas e correntes marinhas. / The offshore exploration has grown tremendously in recent years, and large structures and equipment has been designed and built to remove the oil that lies beneath the sea surface. For fixed jacket type offshore platforms is necessary to consider the problems arising from exposure of these facilities to the hostile ocean environment. These perturbations induce excessive vibrations in the structures affecting the comfort and stability of the facility, and for to combat these vibrations a mathematical tool was used to monitor the integrity health of the structure, namely the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT). The HHT was used for the successfully identification of modal parameters, as fundamental frequency and damping factor of the platform. Finally, an active vibration control technique based on the Control Linear Quadratic (LQ) is implemented aiming to reduce the effects of undesirable oscillatory perturbations caused by waves and marine current.

Integration and Simulation of a Bitumen Upgrading Facility and an IGCC Process with Carbon Capture

El Gemayel, Gemayel January 2012 (has links)
Hydrocracking and hydrotreating are bitumen upgrading technologies designed to enhance fuel quality by decreasing its density, viscosity, boiling point and heteroatom content via hydrogen addition. The aim of this thesis is to model and simulate an upgrading and integrated gasification combined cycle then to evaluate the feasibility of integrating slurry hydrocracking, trickle-bed hydrotreating and residue gasification using the Aspen HYSYS® simulation software. The close-coupling of the bitumen upgrading facilities with gasification should lead to a hydrogen, steam and power self-sufficient upgrading facility with CO2 capture. Hydrocracker residue is first withdrawn from a 100,000 BPD Athabasca bitumen upgrading facility, characterized via ultimate analysis and then fed to a gasification unit where it produces hydrogen that is partially recycled to the hydrocracker and hydrotreaters and partially burned for power production in a high hydrogen combined cycle unit. The integrated design is simulated for a base case of 90% carbon capture utilizing a monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent, and compared to 65% and no carbon capture scenarios. The hydrogen production of the gasification process is evaluated in terms of hydrocracker residue and auxiliary petroleum coke feeds. The power production is determined for various carbon capture cases and for an optimal hydrocracking operation. Hence, the feasibility of the integration of the upgrading process and the IGCC resides in meeting the hydrogen demand of the upgrading facility while producing enough steam and electricity for a power and energy self-sufficient operation, regardless of the extent of carbon capture.

[en] INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR FORMATION MECHANICAL DAMAGE CONTROL DURING OIL FLOW IN PERMEABILITY-PRESSURE-SENSITIVE RESERVOIRS / [pt] SOLUÇÕES ÍNTEGRODIFERENCIAIS PARA CONTROLE DE DANO MECÂNICO À FORMAÇÃO DURANTE ESCOAMENTO DE ÓLEO EM RESERVATÓRIOS COM PERMEABILIDADE DEPENDENTE DA PRESSÃO DE POROS

FERNANDO BASTOS FERNANDES 03 February 2022 (has links)
[pt] A Equação da Difusividade Hidráulica Não-Linear (EDHN) modela o escoamento monofásico de fluidos em meios porosos levando em conta a variação das propriedades da rocha e do fluido presente no interior de seus poros. Normalmente, a solução adimensional da linha-fonte pD(rD, tD) para escoamento de líquidos é encontrada por meio do uso da transformada de Laplace ou transformação de Boltzmann, o qual, o perfil transiente de pressões em coordenadas cartesianas é descrito pela função erro complementar erfc(xD, yD, tD) e, em coordenadas cilíndricas pela função integral exponencial Ei(rD, tD). Este trabalho propõe a solução analítica pelo método de expansão assíntotica de primeira ordem em séries, para solução de alguns problemas de escoamento de petróleo em meios porosos com permeabilidade dependente da pressão de poros e termo fonte. A solução geral será implementada no software Matlab (marca registrada) e a calibração do modelo matemático será realizada comparandose a solução obtida neste trabalho com a solução calculada por meio de um simulador de fluxo óleo em meios porosos denominado IMEX (marca registrada) , amplamente usado na indústria de petróleo e em pesquisas científicas e que usa o método de diferenças finitas. A solução geral da equação diferencial é dada pela soma da solução para escoamento de líquidos com permeabilidade constante e o termo de primeira ordem da expansão assintótica, composto pela não linearidade devido à variação de permeabilidade. O efeito da variação instantânea de permeabilidade em função da pressão de poros é claramente demonstrado nos gráficos diagnósticos e especializados apresentados. / [en] The Nonlinear Hydraulic Diffusivity Equation (NHDE) models the singlephase flow of fluids in porous media considering the variation in the properties of the rock and the fluid present inside its pores. Normally, the dimensionless linear solution for the flow of oil is performed using the Laplace and Fourier transform or Boltzmann transformation and provides the unsteady pressure profile in Cartesian coordinates given by complementary error function erfc(xD, yD, tD) and in cylindrical coordinates described by the exponential integral function Ei(rD, tD). This work develops a new analytical model based on an integro-differential solution to predict the formation mechanical damage caused by the permeability loss during the well-reservoir life-cycle for several oil flow problems. The appropriate Green s function (GF) to solve NHDE for each well-reservoir setting approached in this thesis is used. The general solution is implemented in the Matlab (trademark) and the mathematical model calibration will be carried out by comparing the solution obtained in this work to the porous media finite difference oil flow simulator named IMEX (trademark). The general solution of the NHDE is computed by the sum of the linear solution (constant permeability) and the first order term of the asymptotic series expansion, composed of the nonlinear effect of the permeability loss. The instantaneous permeability loss effect is clearly noticed in the diagnostic and specialized plots.
