Projected global energy demand has been on the rise, with a 2.3% increase per year forecast for the 2018?2050 period. Electricity, vehicles, and industries are the dominant consumer sectors, while natural gas, crude oil, and gas are the dominant…
As the main tool for rock breaking, the bit with features of personalized and high efficiency is more and more popular in different strata, different well sections and different working conditions. By using Intelligent design and manufacturing…
This paper provides a conceptual framework for designing a disaster response system based on Internet of Things (IoT) and Device to Device (D2D) under the new generation 5G mobile networks. The next generation of mobile network and technologies such…
Wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs) can enable many important applications such as intelligent agriculture, pipeline fault diagnosis, mine disaster rescue, concealed border patrol, and crude oil exploration. The key challenge to realize…
Leakages from pipelines are low-probability but high impact events for distributors of crude/refined oil as well as drinking water. Several techniques including geological surveys, fiber optics, acoustics, pressure drop analysis and mass imbalance…
Taylor slug flow commonly occurs in crude oil pipelines, mini-/microreactors, space propulsion thrusters, heat exchangers, and nuclear reactors. The flow is an intermittent gas regime which occurs in flowing liquid inside pipelines and capillary…
Jumper tubes are widely used in the field of ocean engineering as a key component of oil and gas transportations. In order to improve the mixing conditions in the offshore pipelines, a blind tee is usually installed upstream of the measuring…
Gas–liquid intermittent flow commonly occurs in industrial processes such as oil well production, pipeline transportation, and nuclear reactor cooling. Investigation of Taylor bubble behavior in the intermittent flow is essential for safe operation…
Natural gas pipeline network extends over 2.5 million miles in the united states of America. The aging of these infrastructures combined with damage from various external threats are creating safety concerns for both operators and residents in the…
Works that use point cloud avoid wasting time and cost of collection, using simulators and datasets available in the literature. In this way, there is access to an unlimited and organized amount of point clouds, an ideal setting for deep learning…
The presence of gas, oil and water in one system triggers complications in the process of transporting products of the oil and gas exploration. Upon handling a multiphase flow, formation of hydrate and plugging of the pipeline system causes a severe…
