Patent number: 12276499Abstract: Disclosed is a low-energy-consumption floating automatic oceanographic and meteorological observation platform, comprising a meteorological observation module, a sea surface monitoring module, and a profile observation module. The meteorological observation module is configured to provide a buoyant platform for realizing observation of meteorological data while guaranteeing power supply and providing a space for equipment placement. The sea surface monitoring module is configured to realize observation of sea surface data while preventing the buoyant platform from drifting. The profile observation module is located below the meteorological observation module and configured to complete automatic observation of an ocean profile in a low-energy-consumption manner. Gravity is regulated to change a combined force of buoyancy and gravity to realize upward or downward movements of the device, which effectively replaces the conventional high energy consumption program.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2024Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: DONGHAI LABORATORYInventors: Qian Li, Ruyan Chen, Zhiguo He, Yonghui Liu, Xuancheng Liu, Xin Zhang, Sai Zhang

Publication number: 20250101866Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for calculating wellbore friction resistance of a foam drainage gas production well. It is based on the conversion of the parameters of the gas-liquid two-phase flow Mukherjee & Brill model, it defines the liquid film reversal point as the zero friction resistance point, ignores the influence of the negative value of friction resistance, and uses this as a starting point to predict the change of friction resistance. The influence of liquid phase parameters and foaming agent concentration is taken into account in the friction resistance coefficient. An effective calculation method is obtained by combining the experimental data fitting and optimization. The present disclosure better characterizes the wellbore flow condition of the foam drainage gas production well, and provides important theoretical support for the prediction of the wellbore pressure drop of the foam drainage gas production well.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Southwest Petroleum UniversityInventors: Chengcheng Luo, Pengbo Wu, Yonghui Liu, Yu Shi, Yang Liu, Haibin Cai, Jianying Yang, Ziyan Wang, Zhenghao Zhang
