  • 본 적용성 평가 연구에서는 기초연구에서 제안된 지반굴착시 소요되는 전기에너지와 지반의 표준관입시험 N값에 대한 상관식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 전류값과 굴착깊이 계측을 위한 측정센서와 데이터 저장시스템을 개발하였으며, 현장시험시공을 수행하였다. 현장시험시공에서 계측된 전류값과 굴착속도는 상관식을 사용하여 표준관입시험 N값 추정에 이용되었으며, 추정한 표준관입시험 N값은 지반조사로부터 실측된 N값과 비교하였다. 현장시험시공 결과 지반굴착에 소요되는 전기에너지는 표준관입시험 N값을 추정하는 지표로 활용될 수 있으며, 말뚝기초의 선단위치를 결정하는 시공관리 자료로 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Semi-submersible drilling rigs are offshore plants that perform functions such as ocean exploration for oil and gas acquisition, drilling and production, and storage and unloading of crude oil and gas. Semi-submersible drilling rigs use watertight dampers as emergency buoyancy holders. Since the watertight damper is an emergency shutoff device, it is mainly driven by a pneumatic driving system that can operate without a power supply. The pneumatic driving system has highly non-linear characteristics due to compressibility of air and external disturbance such as static and Coulomb friction. In this paper, a new control algorithm is proposed for a watertight damper driving system based on the sliding mode control with a disturbance observer. To evaluate control performance and robust stability of the designed controller, the control results were compared with the results obtained using the state feedback controller. As a result, it was confirmed that the pneumatic driving system for driving the watertight damper using the sliding mode controller with a disturbance observer can obtain excellent control performance against the parameter changes and the disturbance input.

  • As proven petroleum reserves decline through continued production. exploration for new oil and gas resources will extend into environments which present significant economic risks arid technical hurdles. Since safety is one of the biggest concerns in drilling operations. the oil industry routinely trains its personnel in areas which are critical for safe and economical drilling procedures. One of these major areas is well control. A kick is defined as an unscheduled flow of formation fluids into a wellhole. A kick occurs whenever the resultant wellbore pressure is less than the formation pressure in an exposed zone capable of producing kick fluids. The typical causes of reduced wellbore pressure are insufficient mud weight. inadequate fluid level in the hole, and swabbing.(omitted)

  • With increasing offshore oil exploration, drilling, and production activities, and with a huge amount of petroleum being transported by tankers and pipelines through the ocean and coastal environment and resoures has been realized among government decision makers, oil industry personnel, and the general public. Assessment must be made of the potential risk of damage resulting from the exploration, development and transportation activities, based on predictive impact evaluations of the fate of hypothetical or real oil spills.(omitted)

  • Availability of economic and efficient energy resources is crucial to a nation's development. Because of their low cost and advancement in drilling and exploration technologies, oil and gas based energy systems are the most widely used energy source throughout the world. The inexpensive oil and gas based energy systems are used for everything, i.e., from transportation of goods and people to the harvesting of crops for food. As the energy demand continues to rise, there is strong need for inexpensive energy solutions. An offshore platform is a large structure that is used to house workers and machinery needed to drill wells in the ocean bed, extract oil and/or natural gas, process the produced fluids, and ship or pipe them to shore. Depending on the circumstances, the offshore platform can be fixed (to the ocean floor) or can consist of an artificial island or can float. Semi-submersibles are used for various purposes in offshore and marine engineering, e.g. crane vessels, drilling vessels, tourist vessels, production platforms and accommodation facilities, etc. The challenges of deepwater drilling have further motivated the researchers to design optimum choices for semi-submersibles for a chosen operating depth. In our series of eight papers, we discuss the design and production aspects of all the types of offshore platforms. In the present part I, we present an introduction and critical analysis of semi-submersibles.

  • In this paper, a new systematic method will be introduced, in which a Rock-mass Prediction System(RPS) predicts the geological conditions and rock mass movements before tunnel excavation and the appropriate counter-measures are taken in the expected weak zones during tunnel construction. The Rock-mass Prediction System(RPS) consists of the LIM, a horizontal con drilling and a seismic exploration method (TSP/HSP). In the Rock-mass Prediction System(RPS), the seismic exploration method (TSP/HSP) gives information on the locations of the weak zones such as major faults and voids in wide-range, and the horizontal core drillings are utilized to find exact location and widths of the faults or voids near the weak zones which was predicted by the seismic exploration method (TSP/HSP). The LIM is used to find the hardness of the rock mass and small weak zones near the excavation face. The Rock-mass Prediction System(RPS) was successfully applied to the Sol-An Tunnel and the effectiveness of the system was verified.

  • Multichannel seismic data acquired in Ulleung Basin of East Sea for gas hydrate exploration. The seismic sections of this area show strong BSR(bottom simulating reflections) associated with methane hydrate occurrence in deep marine sediments. Very limited information is available from deep sea drilling as the risk of heating and destabilizing the initial hydrate conditions during the processing of drilling is considerably high. Not so many advanced status of gas hydrate exploration in Korea, the most of information of gas hydrate characteristics and properties are inferred from seismic reflection data. In this study, The AVO analysis using the long offset seismic data acquired in Ulleung Basin used to explain the characteristics and structure of gas hydrate. It is used primarily P-wave velocity accessible from seismic data. To make a good quality of AVO analysis input data, seismic preprocessing including 'true gain correction', 'source signature deconvolution', twice velocity analysis and some kinds of multiple rejection and enhancing the signal to noise ratio processes is carried out very carefully. The results of AVO analysis, the eight kinds of AVO attributes are estimated basically and some others of AVO attributes are evaluated for interpretation of AVO analysis additionally. The impedance variation at the boundary of gas hydrate and free gas is estimated for investing the BSR characteristics and properties. The complex analysis is performed also to verifying the amplitude variation and phase shift occurrence at BSR. Type III AVO anomaly appearance at saturated free gas area is detected on BSR. It can be an important evidence of gas hydrate deposition upper the BSR.

  • 소형루프 전자탐사는 폐기물 매립지로부터 발생되는 오염원의 범위 및 경로를 추적하기 위한 개략적인 조사에 효과적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 매립물 분포 범위 및 침출수 발생 범위 파악을 위하여 다중주파수를 이용한 소형루프 전자탐사를 수행하였으며, 탐사 결과를 24곳의 트렌치 조사와 12개소의 시추조사에서 확인된 오염범위와 비교한 결과 매립지의 규모 및 침출수 범위 추정이 가능한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 본 매립지가 해안지역 삼각주에 위치함에 따라 약10 m 이하 심도에서 나타나는 10 ohm-m 이하의 낮은 전기비저항의 원인을 규명하기 위해서는, 10 m 이하 심도까지 시추조사를 병행하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 토목이나 환경분야에 적용되는 시추공을 이용한 P파와 S파 속도검층 수행 시 여러 고려해야 할 사항이 있다. 토양이나 풍화암 등 연약층에 설치한 케이싱이 탄성파 측정에 미치는 영향, 사용되는 주파수에 따라 측정되는 탄성파 속도의 변화 등이 그것이다. 또한 속도검층으로부터 구한 탄성계수는 동적특성을 반영한다. 이러한 과제를 극복하기 위해서는 탄성파시험이 설정된 시추공에서는 가급적 케이싱을 설치하지 않고 공벽을 유지하는 시추 기술을 개발, 적용하도록 하고, 속도검층의 목적에 맞는 주파수 대역의 시험법을 적용하도록 해야 하겠다. 또한 내진설계자들이 속도검층에서 구한 동탄성계수와 실내역학시험에서 구한 정탄성계수와의 차이점을 인식하고 적절히 사용할 수 있도록 조언하는 것도 필요하다.
