Economic Recovery of Oil Trapped at Fan Margins Using High Angle Wells Multiple Hydraulic Fractures

Description: This project attempts to demonstrate the effectiveness of exploiting thin-layered, low-energy deposits at the distal margin of a prograding turbidite complex through the use of hydraulically fractured horizontal or high-angle wells. The combination of a horizontal or high-angle well and hydraulic fracturing will allow greater pay exposure than can be achieved with conventional vertical wells while maintaining vertical communication between thin interbedded layers and the wellbore. A high-angle … more

Model for designing planar magnetron cathodes

Description: Planar magnetron cathodes have arching magnetic field lines which concentrate plasma density to enhance ion bombardment and sputtering. Typical parameters are: helium at 1 to 300 milli-torr, 200 to 2000 gauss at the cathode, 200 to 800 volts, and plasma density decreasing by up to ten times within 2 to 10 cm from the cathode. A 2D, quasineutral, fluid model yields formulas for the plasma density: n(x,y), current densities: j(x,y), j{sub e}(x,y), j{sub +}(x,y), the electric field: E{sub y}(y), a… more

Decomposition of triphenylborane with enhanced comprehensive catalyst under aerated and inert conditions

Description: This work investigated the decomposition of triphenylborane in a statistically-designed set of tests to determine the effects of four process variables: temperature, hydroxide concentration, catalyst concentration, and atmosphere. Analysis of these tests provide the following conclusions:(1) The presence of tetraphenylborate solids facilitate a 10X increase in the rate of decomposition of triphenylborane, (2) The presence of oxygen slows the decomposition of triphenylborane, (3) The activation … more
