Noise Control Of The Beginning And Development Dynamics Of Accidents

This book examines noise-monitoring technologies and tools for registering the threshold of development of the latent period of the transition of a facility or product into an emergency state and controlling the dynamics of this development. It also describes how the use of noise technology can improve the accuracy of the results of traditional methods employed in the analysis of noisy signals. Dr. Aliev analyzes the varieties and stages of the generation and development of defects preceding accidents of technical facilities and devices. He shows that registration of the beginning of the latent period in the transition to an emergency state, based on the results of traditional data analysis technologies used in monitoring systems, is sometimes belated due to the impossibility of analyzing the noise correlated with the useful signal. The volume further includes algorithms and technologies for computing estimates of correlation functions, spectral characteristics, and other characteristics of noise. Aimed at professionals and students from a range of fields, including facility and product design engineering, computer science, computational mathematics, control and management systems, geophysics, construction, energy, and medicine, the book provides numerous examples of noise-control intelligent systems. These include implementations at oil and gas production facilities, drilling rigs, and offshore fixed platforms, as well as within transportation, aviation, power engineering, seismology and medicine.

This book is a collection of papers presented during the 8th World Conference on Soft Computing in February 2022. The papers cover multiple areas important for soft computing. Some papers are dedicated to fundamental aspects of soft computing, i.e., fuzzy mathematics, type-2 fuzzy sets, evolutionary-based optimization, aggregation, and neural networks. Others emphasize the application of soft computing methods to data analysis, image processing, decision-making, classification, series prediction, economics, control, and modeling.

Worldwide oil and gas development has shifted from conventional reservoirs to unconventional and deepwater reservoirs, characterized by high pressure, high temperature, ultra-low permeability, and extensively developed natural fractures. This transition to increasingly hostile environments introduces new challenges in well drilling and completion, such as downhole drilling issues, formation damage, and reduced productivity. Aiming to solve the challenges, drilling and completion technologies have excelled greatly in the past two decades. This book covers managed pressure drilling (MPD), the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in refining drilling processes, and the transformative effects of digitalization and automation. Emphasizing efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility, the book also integrates methods like casing while drilling for improved efficiency, advanced diagnostics for rig safety, stabilization techniques for wellbores in fractured reservoirs, cement sheath integrity maintenance, and the optimization of continuous gas lift. Bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications, the narrative offers insights into both operational techniques and safety strategies, drawing from past experiences. The current state-of-the-art theories, technologies, and practices are covered, bridging the gaps between fundamental theories and engineering applications.

Risk Assessment and Management for Ships and Offshore Structures helps engineers accurately analyze results and apply engineering principles to a vast range of oil and gas structures. Bridging theoretical-depth and practical application, this reference gives specific applications for risk assessment and integrity management for different ships and offshore structures, covering aspects of offshore production and drilling systems from the sea floor to the surface. Divided into different sections, and starting with a discussion of risk management background, the book then covers risk assessment for specific installations such as BOPs, marine production systems, subsea systems, deepwater production risers and pipelines. This book provides offshore petroleum engineers with both the theoretical principles and practical application skills needed to face today’s offshore challenges and structures. Delivers wide coverage on risk assessment and asset management for today’s oil and gas offshore structures Provides engineers with real statistical data collections and analysis from historical data to calculate failure frequency, a key task in risk management Bridges theoretical principles and practical applications, including upcoming challenges and technological advances
