Di ZHOU, Pengchun LI, Cuimei ZHANG
2015, 2(3): 1-9. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2015.03.001
Abstract:
CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR) is a technique of enhancing oil recovery by injecting CO2 into oil reservoirs. It also realizes both CO2 utilization and CO2storage and thus is an important technique in the CCUS chain. In recent decade the application of CO2-EOR is extended rapidly from inland to offshore, as a respond to the increasing demand for offshore CO2 storage. This paper briefed the concept and application conditions of CO2-EOR, and introduced worldwide projects and technical developments on offshore CO2-EOR, including the "Next Generation" CO2-EOR technology. A first-order preliminary review on the potential of CO2-EOR in offshore sedimentary basins off China was given for the first time based on comparison and analysis of petroleum geology of the basins. The Bohai Bay Basin (offshore) and the Pearl River Mouth Basin are regarded as having the potential of non-miscible and miscible CO2-EOR, respectively. The CO2-EOR application in these basins might be able to bring several hundred million tons of incremental oil production and to store several hundred million tons of CO2 underground permanently. Further studies and evaluations are needed urgently.

Abstract:
Wind load is one of the dominating loads for offshore wind measurement mast, whose applied amount relates closely to safety and economical efficiency. A traditional wind load model includes merely an isolated upper mast, and calculation is based on the standard of Load Code for the Design of Building Structures. To give a better simulation of wind load, a full-coupled model containing both the upper mast and lower foundation was built for numerical anslysis, then a comparison with code method was made. To deal with the close loop relationship between wind load and natural frequency, iteration was introduced to solve for wind vibration coefficient. Through comparison, it was found that with identical input, wind load calculated by mumerical method is 6%~26% smaller than those from code method.

Combined with the actual situation of the project, we deeply analyze the Flow Field of the cooling tower: 1) the existence of windshield board reduces the air flow around the tower side flow rate and increases the symmetry of the cooling tower inlet flow field, so that the uniformity of tower aerodynamic field was increased. Installation height and length of windshield board have a greater impact into the air flow field. Especially, the 11m high, 8m long windshield board improve the performance of # 1, # 2 cooling tower mostly. 2) Installation angle and blocks number of windshield board have certain impact into the air flow field.When the windshield board angle change from 0° to 20° and the blocks number change from 60 to 90, there was little changes of cooling performance between the two towers.
