Natural gas hydrate has been a major problem for its plugging nature in the pipeline. With the demand of deep-water production, the importance of flow assurance technology, preventing hydrate, asphaltene and wax in the pipeline becomes bigger Kinetic models combined with the flow simulator are being developed to explain the nature of hydrate plug formation in the pipeline. To simulate the hydrate plug formation, each stage including the nucleation, growth and agglomeration should be considered. The hydrate nucleation is known to be stochastic and is believed hard to be predicted. Recent publications showed hydrate growth and agglomeration can be observed rigorously using a particle size analyzer. However properties of the hydrate should be investigated to model the growth and agglomeration. The attractive force between hydrate particles, supposed to be the capillary force, was revealed to be stochastic. Alternative way to model the hydrate agglomeration is to simulate by the discrete element method. Those parameters, particle size distribution, attractive force, and growth rate are embedded into the kinetic model which is combined Into the flow simulator. When compared with the flowloop experimental data, hydrate kinetic model combined into a flow simulator showed good results. With the early results, the hydrate kinetic model is promising but needs more efforts to improve it.

As the demand for petroleum resources increases, and oilfields on lands and in shallow-sea become exhausted, the areas for oil production are expanding to the deep sea and therefore technologies for flow assurance are coming into the highlight. In low temperature environment such as the deep sea, wax is accumulated and prevents stable oil production. Therefore, the development of flow assurance technologies is required. Wax is precipitated in crystalline form when the oil temperature decreases below the wax appearance temperature; it then accumulates on the inner walls of pipelines causing blockages. In particular, in subsea pipelines, which have a large surface contact area with the surrounding seawater, wax deposition problems are frequent. The internal tubular coating can effectively reduce wax deposition without pausing oil production when the coating is appropriately designed. This study carried out wax deposition tests on a number of internal tubular coatings under single flow conditions. The results were analyzed for the effects that the physical properties of the coatings had on wax deposition.

비교적 접근이 용이한 육상 및 천해에서 석유의 생산은 이미 완료되었거나 대부분이 진행 중이기에 석유 생산 지역이 점차 심해로 확장되고 있다. 심해와 같은 저온환경에서 석유생산이 이루어지면 석유의 부존환경과 다른 온도와 압력에 노출되어 생산시스템에 다양한 고형물이 집적되어 석유가 안정적으로 생산되지 못하게 하는 유동안정성 확보 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 고형물 중 왁스는 온도에 민감하기 때문에 왁스의 집적을 예측하고 제어하기 위해서는 오일 내 왁스가 석출되기 시작하는 온도인 왁스생성 온도의 정확한 측정이 요구되나 표준화된 측정법이 존재하지 않아 다양한 방법이 제안되고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 점도측정법, 시차주사열량법, 필터막힘점측정법, 압력필터측정법을 적용하여 불투명 오일의 왁스생성온도를 측정하고, 이를 검증하기 위해 고형물생성유도장치와 가스크로마토크래피를 이용하였다. 이 연구결과를 통해 오일특성에 따른 왁스생성온도 실험법을 체계화한다면 불투명 오일의 왁스생성온도 측정법 표준화하는데 주요자료로 이용할 수 있어 왁스에 의한 유동안정성 확보 문제를 예측하고 해결하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

석유의 생산 과정에서 발생하는 왁스(wax)와 같은 고형물의 생성 및 집적은 유동안정성 확보(flow assurance) 문제를 발생시켜 안정적인 석유 생산을 방해할 수 있으며, 현장에서는 이를 해결하는데 많은 시간 소모와 경제적 손실이 발생할 수 있다. 왁스집적 문제는 왁스가 생성되기 시작하는 온도인 왁스생성온도 이하의 조건에서만 발생하므로 왁스집적 문제를 예측하고 제어하기 위해서는 오일의 왁스생성온도를 사전에 필수적으로 파악해야한다. 컨덴세이트와 같은 투명 오일의 왁스생성온도는 광학적 기술인 표준측정법이 적용되는 반면 대부분의 현장에서 생산되는 불투명 오일에는 적용이 어려운 한계점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 3가지의 투명 오일시료에 열유량 변화 분석, 점도 변화 분석, 밀도 변화 분석 기법을 적용하여 파악한 왁스생성온도와 표준기법으로 측정한 값과 비교하여 밀도 변화 분석 기법이 가장 신뢰도가 높은 것을 확인하였고 이 기법을 2종류의 불투명 오일시료에 적용하여 왁스생성온도를 결정하였다.

The failure of a subsea production plant could induce fatal hazards and enormous loss to human lives, environments, and properties. Thus, for securing integrated design safety, core source technologies include subsea system integration that has high safety and reliability and a technique for the subsea flow assurance of subsea production plant and subsea pipeline network fluids. The evaluation of subsea flow assurance needs to be performed considering the performance of a subsea production plant, reservoir production characteristics, and the flow characteristics of multiphase fluids. A subsea production plant is installed in the deep sea, and thus is exposed to a high-pressure/ low-temperature environment. Accordingly, hydrates could be formed inside a subsea production plant or within a subsea pipeline network. These hydrates could induce serious damages by blocking the flow of subsea fluids. In this study, a simulation technology, which can visualize the system configuration of subsea production processes and can simulate stable flow of fluids, was introduced. Most existing subsea simulations have performed the analysis of dynamic behaviors for the installation of subsea facilities or the flow analysis of multiphase flow within pipes. The above studies occupy extensive research areas of the subsea field. In this study, with the goal of simulating the configuration of an entire deep sea production system compared to existing studies, a DES-based simulation technology, which can logically simulate oil production processes in the deep sea, was analyzed, and an implementation example of a simplified case was introduced.

The article proves the relevance of developing conceptual frameworks for managing the quality assurance of logistics activities in the context of socio-economic interaction of their participants. It is established that the fundamental difference of the logistic approach in management from traditional approaches is the allocation of a single management function of previously separated, disparate material flows, as well as economic, technological, information integration of chain links into a single system capable of effective management of these flows. It is substantiated that the functioning of the enterprise as a logistics system can be represented in the form of a triad of logistics components, namely: supply logistics, production logistics, sales logistics. Management of quality assurance processes of logistics activities in the context of socio-economic interaction of their participants is a functional component of the entire logistics system due to the quality of work and interaction of all participants in the implementation of certain activities. The quality of logistics activities will affect the level of economic potential, rationalization and optimization of all logistics flows. It is proved that the management of quality assurance processes of logistics activities in the context of socio-economic interaction of their participants involves the following main areas: the introduction of a quality system of logistics processes; development and implementation of the general strategy of quality improvement at the enterprise; internal integration; controlling. Management of quality assurance processes of logistics activities in the context of socio-economic interaction of its participants requires compliance with the following requirements: systematic and comprehensive management of all flow processes; coordination of criteria and indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the entire logistics system; dissemination of the use and application of information technology; ensuring partnerships and close interaction of all participants in sales networks.

항공기 설계검증 체계를 갖추기 위한 투자 및 인프라개발, 그리고 이 과정에 동반되는 항공기개발의 경제적인 타당성을 분석하였다. 투자와 항공기 양산판매만을 고려한 현금흐름분석에서는 음의 순현재가치가 산정되어 경제적 타당성이 부인되었으나, 수출효과, 수입대체효과 및 사고감소효과를 감안할 때에는 순편익이 투자액의 3-5배에 달하는 것으로 평가되었다. 편익의 전유성이 매우 낮다는 점을 감안할 때 이 투자는 정부가 주체가 되어 실행하여야 하며, 재정지출의 경제적 타당성이 충분한 것으로 확인되었다.
