随钻监测技术在气体钻井中的应用     

朱礼平  ;卫亚明  ;冯靓  ;刘绘新  ;李永杰 《海洋地质译丛》2008,(4):87-90

气体钻井是近年来兴起的一种实用钻井技术,具有保护油气产层、提高钻速、缩短建井周期及处理井漏事故等优点,应用范围越来越广泛。与常规钻井液钻井相比,气体钻井是单向循环,使用气体作为循环介质来携带岩屑、清洗井眼,使得现有录井监测系统还不能满足气体钻井现场参数监测需要,易出现钻具失效、井下燃爆、地层出水及井壁坍塌等复杂钻井问题,影响气体钻井的安全性。基于井下燃爆理论和监测监控系统技术,开展了随钻监测基本原理研究,形成了UBD气体监测系统及分析技术;通过在多口井气体钻井现场服务,验证了气体监测系统及分析技术的合理性和实用性,为安全顺利实施气体钻井提供了有力的技术支持。  相似文献   

Simple estimation of penetration rate of light in intertidal sediments     

Kazuhiko Ichimi  Kuninao Tada  Shigeru Montani 《Journal of Oceanography》2008,64(3):399-404

A simple estimation of light penetration in tidal flat sediments was developed using various sediment size fractions and their attenuation rate of irradiance. The attenuation coefficients of the sediment size fractions of 63–125, 125–250, 250–500, 500–1000 μm and 1000–2000 μm were 8.10, 4.08, 2.92, 2.12 and 1.44 mm⁻¹, respectively. Using the average attenuation coefficient of the particle size fractions in the sediment, the calculated attenuation coefficient agreed well with the actual attenuation coefficient. The method presented gives a photo-parameter to predict productivity in intertidal sediments, given only the particle size fraction.  相似文献   

Nitrogen dynamics within a wind-driven eddy

Wind-driven cyclonic eddies are hypothesized to relieve nutrient stress and enhance primary production by the upward displacement of nutrient-rich deep waters into the euphotic zone. In this study, we measured nitrate (NO₃⁻), particulate carbon (PC), particulate nitrogen (PN), their stable isotope compositions (δ¹⁵N-NO₃⁻, δ¹³C-PC and δ¹⁵N-PN, respectively), and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) within Cyclone Opal, a mature wind-driven eddy generated in the lee of the Hawaiian Islands. Sampling occurred in March 2005 as part of the multi-disciplinary E-Flux study, approximately 4–6 weeks after eddy formation. Integrated NO₃⁻ concentrations above 110 m were 4.8 times greater inside the eddy (85.8±6.4 mmol N m⁻²) compared to the surrounding water column (17.8±7.8 mmol N m⁻²). Using N-isotope derived estimates of NO₃⁻ assimilation, we estimated that 213±59 mmol m⁻² of NO₃⁻ was initially injected into the upper 110 m Cyclone Opal formation, implying that NO₃⁻ was assimilated at a rate of 3.75±0.5 mmol N m⁻² d⁻¹. This injected NO₃⁻ supported 68±19% and 66±9% of the phytoplankton N demand and export production, respectively. N isotope data suggest that 32±6% of the initial NO₃⁻ remained unassimilated. Self-shading, inefficiency in the transfer of N from dissolved to particulate export, or depletion of a specific nutrient other than N may have led to a lack of complete NO₃⁻ assimilation. Using a salt budget approach, we estimate that dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) concentrations increased from eddy formation (3.8±0.4 mmol N m⁻²) to the time of sampling (4.0±0.09 mmol N m⁻²), implying that DON accumulated at rate of 0.83±1.3 mmol N m⁻² d⁻¹, and accounted for 22±15% of the injected NO₃⁻. Interestingly, no significant increase in suspended PN and PC, or export production was observed inside Cyclone Opal relative to the surrounding water column. A simple N budget shows that if 22±15% of the injected NO₃⁻ was shunted into the DON pool, and 32±6% is unassimilated, then 46±16% of the injected NO₃⁻ remains undocumented. Alternative loss processes within the eddy include lateral exchange of injected NO₃⁻ along isopycnal surfaces, remineralization of PN at depth, as well as microzooplankton grazing. A 9-day time series within Cyclone Opal revealed a temporal depletion in δ¹⁵N-PN, implying a rapid change in the N source. A change in NO₃⁻ assimilation, or a shift from NO₃⁻ fueled growth to assimilation of a ¹⁵N-deplete N source, may be responsible for such observations.  相似文献

Microbial dynamics in cyclonic and anticyclonic mode-water eddies in the northwestern Sargasso Sea     

Courtney S. Ewart  Meredith K. Meyers  Elisa R. Wallner  Dennis J. McGillicuddy Jr.  Craig A. Carlson   《Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography》2008,55(10-13):1334

The EDdy Dynamics, mixing, Export, and Species composition (EDDIES) project provided a unique opportunity to evaluate the response of the microbial community and further understand the biological and biogeochemical consequences of mesoscale perturbation events in an oligotrophic system. In order to characterize microbial dynamics, we performed measurements of bacterial biomass (BB) and production (BP) and phytoplankton pigment analyses in two upwelling eddies in the Sargasso Sea sampled in 2004 and 2005. We also observed a 3-fold increase in BP at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site during the passage of a cyclonic eddy in 2003. Although the integrated BB and BP over 140 m in 2004 and 2005 eddies remained within the climatological range measured at the BATS site, there was systematic variability in bacterioplankton dynamics across both eddies. Cyclonic eddy C1 demonstrated decreased BP at the feature's center relative to its periphery, and BP was not correlated with total chlorophyll a (TChl a) variability. However, BP correlated with prymnesiophyte pigments throughout the feature. In contrast, mode-water eddy A4 showed an enhancement in BP at the eddy center (EC) relative to its edges and was coincident with elevated TChl a, high primary production measurements, and a high concentration of diatoms. In eddy A4, the tight relationship between enhanced BP, TChl a and specific phytoplankton taxa implies that the phytoplankton community structure was an important factor influencing BP variability. While the heterotrophic bacterial response in C1 and A4 was not enhanced relative to BATS summer climatology, these data and the presence of similar nutrient fields across both eddies suggest that BP and BB were influenced by the eddy perturbations and responded to changes in the phytoplankton community.  相似文献

三立柱轻型半潜式生产平台是一种新型多功能高效平台,可广泛用于中等水深及深水边际油气田开发。但在一定的来流条件下,立柱后方会产生漩涡脱落,导致平台发生涡激运动现象,从而影响平台的海上作业。基于分离涡模拟(detached eddy simulation,简称DES)方法,对具有三立柱和深吃水特点的非传统型半潜式生产平台的涡激运动响应特性开展数值模拟研究,从运动响应幅值和频率、运动轨迹及水动力系数等多个角度分析其在不同流向角和不同折合速度下涡激运动响应的关键特征和锁定范围。研究表明,三立柱轻型半潜式生产平台的横向运动响应由其受到的脉动升力主导,在折合速度7.0≤Ur≤10.0区间内发生锁定现象,且在180°流向角时幅值达到最大,约为立柱直径的59%;首摇运动在0°流向角时达到最大响应幅值4.9°,且锁定区内的响应频率接近其首摇运动固有频率;其运动轨迹主要表现为沿着横向的直线往复运动。  相似文献

Influence of allochthonous organic matter on bacterioplankton biomass and activity in a eutrophic,sub-tropical estuary     

José Juan Barrera-Alba  Sônia Maria Flores Gianesella  Gleyci Aparecida Oliveira Moser  Flávia Marisa Prado Saldanha-Corrêa 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2009

Heterotrophic bacterial and phytoplankton biomass, production, specific growth rates, and growth efficiencies were studied in the Northern region of the Cananéia–Iguape estuarine system, which has recently experienced an intense eutrophication due to anthropogenic causes. Two surveys were carried out during spring and neap tide periods of the dry season of 2005 and the rainy season of 2006. This region receives large freshwater inputs with organic seston and phosphate concentrations that reach as high as 1.0 mg l⁻¹ and 20.0 μM, respectively. Strong decreasing gradients of seston and dissolved inorganic nutrients were observed from the river/estuary boundary to the estuary/coastal interface. Gradients were also observed in phytoplankton and bacterial production rates. The production rates of phytoplankton were 5.6-fold higher (mean 8.5 μg C l⁻¹ h⁻¹) during the dry season. Primary production rates (PP) positively correlated with salinity and euphotic depth, indicating that phytoplankton productivity was light-limited. On the other hand, bacterial biomass (BB) and production rates (BP) were 1.9- and 3.7-fold higher, respectively, during the rainy season, with mean values of up to 40.4 μg C l⁻¹ and 7.9 μg C l⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively. Despite such a high BP, bacterial abundance remained <2 × 10⁶ cells ml⁻¹, indicating that bacterial production and removal were coupled. Mean specific growth rates ranged between 0.9 and 5.5 d⁻¹. BP was inversely correlated with salinity and positively correlated with temperature, organic matter, exopolymer particles, and particulate-attached bacteria; this last accounted for as much as 89.6% of the total abundance. During the rainy season, BP was generally much higher than PP, and values of BP/PP > 20 were registered during high freshwater input, suggesting that under these conditions, bacterial activity was predominantly supported by allochthonous inputs of organic carbon. In addition, BB probably represented the main pathway for the synthesis of high-quality (low C:N) biomass that may have been available to the heterotrophic components of the plankton food web, particularly nanoheterotrophs.  相似文献   

Reproduction of the eelgrass Zostera marina at the species southern distributional limit in the Eastern Atlantic     

Susana Cabaço  Rui Santos 《Marine Ecology》2010,31(2):300-308

The plant reproductive effort, the seed germination rate and the seedling survival and development of Zostera marina (eelgrass) were assessed in four populations (Fuzeta, Culatra, Barrinha and Armona) at the species’ southern distribution limit in the Eastern Atlantic, the Ria Formosa lagoon. Germinated seeds were individually placed in Petri dishes with natural sandy sediments and kept in a culture chamber at the same temperature and salinity conditions as the natural environment. In addition, seeds from three different depths of Fuzeta population were cultivated in outdoor mesocosms. The populations of Fuzeta and Barrinha showed higher seed production and the seeds produced were heavier than the other populations. The germination of the seeds both in the laboratory and in the outdoor tanks began c. 8–12 weeks after the collection of the flowering shoots at a water temperature of 22 °C. The spontaneous germination in the laboratory (2.4–5.3%) and in the mesocosm experiment (5.6–8.9%) was low and from all the germinated seeds (n = 20) only three reached the seedling stage. The spontaneously germinated seeds from Fuzeta survived for a longer period than those from Barrinha, but only the germinated seeds of Barrinha reached the seedling stage (one‐leaf seedling stage). In outdoor tanks, higher seed germination and earlier seedling emergence (2 weeks after seeding) and survival (for 208 days) occurred for the seeds obtained from the shallow meadow. The reproductive effort of Z. marina populations of Ria Formosa showed that flowering shoots and seed traits are site‐specific. The low reproductive success indicated by the low germination and seedling survival suggests a bottleneck in the species’ reproductive cycle that may account for the scarce presence of the species in Ria Formosa lagoon. The high water temperatures of Ria Formosa in winter may partly explain this bottleneck. Increased temperatures due to climate change may reduce even further the sexual reproduction of Z. marina in its southern distributional limit in the Eastern Atlantic.  相似文献
