Simulation design of PNL device for determining the spatial position of hydraulic fractures in three-dimensional space

The usage of modeling techniques allows to optimize the materials and construction of the neutron well logging apparatus and synthesized the recorded signal. This study focuses on modeling the construction of PNL device for determining the spatial position of hydraulic fractures in three-dimensional space. We used mathematical modeling by Monte Carlo method. PNL logs were synthesized, and it allowed to restore position of hydraulic fracture. The difference between angels simulated and the resulting equaled 3 degree, which confirms the possibility of using this technique

Development of multisector pulsed neutron logging tool constructional parts

© 2016,International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology. All rights reserved.This paper focuses on the results of mathematical modeling aimed to construct multisector pulsed neutron logging (PNL) tool,which can be used to locate the cracks that are formed during hydraulic fracturing operations. This project resulted in a model of multisector PNL tool containing 6 detectors placed in such a way that they are equidistant from the source. This paper also presents:a. optimal collimation design providingdetection of neutronsfrom specific formations;b. model allowingto assess the quality of collimation in multisector logging tools; c. optimal detector configuration for the multisector PNL tool. The project results have also shown the possibility of increasing the number of registered thermal neutronsby introducing special constructional parts into the PNL tool design,allowing to changedirection of the neutron flux from the source into the area adjacent to detection units. Consequently,special constructional parts for the multisector PNL toolwere modeled to increase thenumber of neutrons recorded and determine the azimuth of the hydraulic fractures

Фациальный состав, геохимические особенности и геодинамические обстановки образования позднеэмсских островодужных комплексов зоны Главного Уральского разлома на Южном Урале

The facial and geochemical peculiarities of the Late Emsian island arc complexes of the Main Urals Fault Zone (Southern Urals) are considered. The results of geodynamic reconstructions are given. It was shown that the rock composition of the complexes formed in three geodynamic settings: 1) on the island arc slope of the deep-water trench, 2) within the frontal island arc, and 3) in the junction zone of the northern edge of the frontal island arc and back-arc basin. The facies of the island arc slope include serpentinite-clastic edaphogenic breccias containing Co-Cu-massive sulfide mineralization and polymictic olistostrome. Volcanogenic strata and intrusive formations represent the frontal arc. Low-Ti magmatites belonging mainly to the tholeiitic and boninitic series and having a metallogenic specialization for massive sulfide mineralization dominate in the southern areas of the suture zone.  Moderate-Ti magmatites of the tholeiitic composition, productive on Au-Cu-porphyry mineralization, are distributed in the northern regions. A gold-bearing volcano-intrusive association has formed in the junction zone of the northern edge of the frontal island arc and back-arc basin, where moderate-Ti rocks of tholeiitic and transitional from tholeiitic to calc-alkaline composition dominate. It is assumed that the differences in the geochemical characteristics and metallogenic specialization of the Late Emsian magmatites are associated with the changes in the geodynamic conditions of magma formation and ore genesis along and across the strike of the island arc system.Рассмотрены фациальные и геохимические особенности позднеэмсских островодужных комплексов зоны Главного Уральского разлома на Южном Урале. Приведены результаты геодинамических реконструкций. Показано, что в строении комплексов участвуют породы, сформировавшиеся в трех геодинамических обстановках: 1) на островодужном склоне глубоководного желоба, 2) в пределах фронтальной островной дуги и 3) в зоне сочленения северного замыкания фронтальной островной дуги и задугового бассейна. К фациям островодужного склона относятся серпентинитокластические эдафогенные брекчии, вмещающие Co-Cu-колчеданное оруденение, и полимиктовый олистостром. Фронтальная дуга представлена вулканогенными толщами и интрузивными образованиями, среди которых в южных районах сутурной зоны преобладают низкотитанистые магматиты, принадлежащие главным образом к толеитовой и бонинитовой сериям и имеющие металлогеническую специализацию на колчеданное оруденение, а в северных районах – умереннотитанистые магматиты толеитового состава, продуктивные на Au-Cu порфировое оруденение. В зоне сочленения северного замыкания фронтальной островной дуги и задугового бассейна образовалась золотоносная вулкано-интрузивная ассоциация, в которой доминируют умереннотитанистые породы толеитового и переходного от толеитового к известково-щелочному состава. Предполагается, что различия в геохимических характеристиках и металлогенической специализации позднеэмсских магматитов в значительной мере обусловлены изменением геодинамических условий магмаобразования и рудогенеза вдоль и вкрест простирания островодужной системы

Stable Spin Precession at one Half of Equilibrium Magnetization in Superfluid 3He-B

New stable modes of spin precession have been observed in superfluid 3He-B. These dynamical order parameter states include precession with a magnetization S=pS_{eq} which is different from the equilibrium value S_{eq}. We have identified modes with p=1, 1/2 and \approx 0. The p=1/2 mode is the second member of phase correlated states of a spin superfluid. The new states can be excited in the temperature range 1-T/T_c \lesssim 0.02 where the energy barriers between the different local minima of the spin-orbit energy are small. They are stable in CW NMR due to low dissipation close to T_c.Comment: submitted to Physical Review Letters, 4 pages, revtex, 4 Figures in ftp://boojum.hut.fi/pub/publications/lowtemp/LTL-96005.p

An application of sector equipment of acoustic logging VAK-32 for research of oil wells

The processing of research results of sector equipment of acoustic logging in the carbonate section was carried out taking into account the separate registration of wave patterns into four independent spatial sectors. It was detected the significant difference in the arrival times of acoustic waves to the different sectors of equipment. Authors propose a formation procedure of monopoly or dipole wave packets considering the separate registration on different sectors and shifts between wave patterns of individual sectors. The difference in the values of interval times obtained for the wave packets recorded by the classical method and calculated with allowance for shifts between sectors can result to differences in the calculation of porosity coefficient to 4 or more absolute percent. Apart from the formation of the correct wave packet processing of wave patterns on different sectors allows to reveal the occurrence of elastic anisotropy for well diameter. In addition, analysis of interval time curves allows to reveal areas with occurrence of inclined layers in relation to the well. Further processing of such data will allow to receive a geological information like we getting from processing of borehole imagers

Operational experience of GNSS receivers with Chip Scale Atomic Clocks for baseline measurements

Currently, one of the topical issues of improving GLONASS system is modernization of its uniformity measurement equipment, including RF measurement equipment and electronic length measurement equipment. To this end, at the Spatial Reference Proving Ground of theSiberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies (SSUGT), the authors of this article carried out a successful experiment to measure a short GNSS baseline by receivers equipped with Chip Scale Atomic Clocks (CSACs) with instability of 10−11 showed that the mean deviation between the slant distance (D) measured using GNSS receivers connected to CSACs and their certified value varied in the range of 0.1–2.5 mm, with the average value of 0.9 mm. The mean deviation obtained using GNSS geodetic receivers not connected to CSAC and their certified value made up 9.4 mm. The obtained experimental results suggest that substitution of quartz frequency generators with temperature compensation used in geodetic GNSS receivers for Chip Scale Atomic Clocks in any metrological or verification kit increases accuracy and reliability of short baselines measurements results, which highly perspective in view of development of techniques for creating reference baselines with a reproduction error of unit length of about 1 mm per 1 km. The above-mentioned experiment opens up new horizons for the use of Chip Scale Atomic Clocks in such fields of science as metrological support of geodetic equipment, geodesy, etc
