LNG 저장탱크의 외조 콘크리트는 방호벽 기능을 하는 프리스트레스 콘크리트 구조물이다. 콘크리트 구조물이 열화가 되어 안전성이 확보되지 않는 경우 구조물 붕괴 등의 위험성이 존재하게 된다. 정밀안전진단시 비파괴검사로 반발경도 및 초음파 속도 측정을 통해 구조물의 안전성과 직접적으로 관련되어 있는 콘크리트 압축강도를 추정식으로 예측할 수 있다. 그러나, LNG 저장탱크는 비파괴검사 데이터와 실제 압축강도에 대한 추정식이 부재하다. 이 연구는 LNG 저장탱크에 대해 보다 정확한 실제 강도를 측정하기 위해 Pilot LNG 저장탱크벽체로부터 코어를 채취하였다. 코어를 채취하기 전 해당위치에 일반적인 비파괴시험 방법인 반발경도 검사를 4개의 다른 영역에 각 3군데 위치에서 이루어졌다. 채취한 콘크리트 코어에 대해 압축강도 시험결과의 실제 압축강도 데이터와 반발경도 데이터를 이용하여 LNG 저장탱크의 압축강도 추정식을 개발하였다.

동해 울릉분지의 천부퇴적층은 상부사면에는 함몰사태와 미끄럼사태 퇴적체가 분포하며, 중부와 하부사면에는 쇄설류 퇴적체가 우세하고 분지평원에는 저탁류/반원양성 퇴적체가 분포한다. 기존연구에 의하면 울릉분지에서 가스 또는 가스하이드레이트의 부존이 확인되었으며, 이들에 대한 연구는 해양자원, 환경변화 그리고 지질재해적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 고해상도 탄성파 자료를 분석하여 울릉분지에 존재하는 천부가스관련 구조들(음향공백기둥, 증폭반사면, 돔구조, 폭마크, 가스유출구조)의 음향특성 및 분포특성을 파악하였다. 음향공백기둥은 퇴적층 내에서 투명한 기둥형태를 보이며 주로 분지평원에서 나타난다. 강한 진폭특성을 보이는 증폭반사면은 퇴적층 내에서 층리를 따라 수평적으로 수십 km 이상 연장되어 나타난다. 또한, 돔구조는 가스가 퇴적층의 공극을 채워 해저면이 부풀어 오른 형태를 보이며, 하부사면에서 주로 확인된다. 폭마크는 해저면이 움푹 파인 형태로 중부와 하부사면에서 분포한다. 가스유출구조는 주변 퇴적층에 비해 매우 약한 반사강도를 보이며, 중부사면에서 우세하게 나타난다. 이러한 가스관련 구조들은 퇴적층 내에서 가스가 수평 수직적으로 이동하여 수층으로 방출되는 과정 중에 형성된다. 또한, 가스관련 구조들의 분포양상은 상부퇴적층의 퇴적상과 수심에 따른 가스의 용해도 차이에 의해 조절된 것으로 사료된다. 특히, 울릉분지 사면지역의 쇄설류 퇴적체는 무질서하고 불연속적인 퇴적구조를 보이며, 이는 가스의 이동을 용이하게 한다. 반면, 분지의 저탁류 퇴적체는 수평층리가 잘 발달되어 있어, 가스의 수직이동을 제한하는 것으로 해석된다.

Polyimides and related polymers, when synthesized from aromatic monomers, have generally rigid chain structures resulting in a low gas permeability. The rigidity of polymer chains reduces the segmental motion of chains and works as a good barrier against gas transport. To overcome the limit of use as materials of gas separation membranes due to low gas permeability, block copolymers with the incorporation of flexible segments like siloxane linkage and ether linkage have been studied. These block copolymers have microphase-separated structures composed of microdomains of flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) or polyether segments and of rigid polyimides segments. In case of rigid-flexible block copolymers, the characteristics of both phases for gas permeation are of great difference. The permeation of gas molecules occurs favorably through microdomains of flexible segments, whereas those of rigid segments hinder the permeation of gas molecules. Accordingly the increase of content of flexible segments in a rigid polymer matrix will increase the gas permeability of the membrane linearly. However, this prediction does not satisfy enough many experimental results and in particular the drastic increase of the permeability is observed in a certain volume fraction. It was proposed that the gas transport mechanism is dominated by diffusion rather than gas solubility in a certain content of flexible phase if solution-diffusion mechanism is adopted. However, the transition from solubility-dependent to diffusion-dependent cannot be explained by the understanding of mechanism itself. Therefore, we consider an effective chemical path which permeable phase can form in a microheterogenous medium, and percolation concept is introduced to describe the permeability transition at near threshold where for the first time a percolation path occurs. The volume fraction of both phases is defined as V$_{\alpha}$ and V$_{\beta}$ in block copolymers, and the volume of $\beta$ phase in the threshold forming geometrically a traversing channel is defined as V$_{\betac}$. The formation mechanism of shortest chemical channel is schematically depicted in Fig. 1.

Light hydrocarbons accumulated in subsurface soil by long-term microseepage could favor the anomalous growth of indigenous hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms, which could be crucial indicators of underlying petroleum reservoirs. Here, Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was conducted to determine the bacterial community structures in soil samples collected from three typical oil and gas fields at different locations in China. Incubation with n-butane at the laboratory scale was performed to confirm the presence of "universal microbes" in light-hydrocarbon microseepage ecosystems. The results indicated significantly higher bacterial diversity in next-to-well samples compared with background samples at two of the three sites, which were notably different to oil-contaminated environments. Variation partitioning analysis showed that the bacterial community structures above the oil and gas fields at the scale of the present study were shaped mainly by environmental parameters, and geographic location was able to explain only 7.05% of the variation independently. The linear discriminant analysis effect size method revealed that the oil and gas fields significantly favored the growth of Mycobacterium, Flavobacterium, and Pseudomonas, as well as other related bacteria. The relative abundance of Mycobacterium and Pseudomonas increased notably after n-butane cultivation, which highlighted their potential as biomarkers of underlying oil deposits. This work contributes to a broader perspective on the bacterial community structures shaped by long-term light-hydrocarbon microseepage and proposes relatively universal indicators, providing an additional resource for the improvement of microbial prospecting of oil and gas.

Hydrogen will be a future eco-friendly energy source that can replace current fossil fuels However when hydrogen gas leaks and people inhale a lot of hydrogen gases, they can have fatal effects fell into comas. Therefore, we need to develop a safety technology and related guidelines for reducing risks of hydrogen leakage. In this regard, we carried out demonstration tests assuming a situation of hydrogen leakage. Before the experiments, we analyze the standards for governor facilities to check vent positions and sensor positions. Then, we select four types of ventilation structures and proceeds with the experiments of hydrogen leakage at 1 LPM and 1.5 LPM. Based on the experimental results, we propose the direction on optimization of vent positions and sensor positions in the hydrogen leakage situation.

Silicon oxide thin films have been deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in SiH4 and N2O plasma along the variation of the gas flow ratio. Optical emission spectroscopy was employed to monitor the plasma and ellipsometry was employed to obtain refractive index of the deposited thin film. The atomic ratio of Si, O, and N in the film was obtained using XPS depth profiling. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used to analyze structures of the films. RI decreased with the increase in N2O/SiH4 gas flow ratio. We noticed the increase in the Si-O-Si bond angles as the N2O/SiH4 gas flow ratio increased, according to the analysis of the Si-O-Si stretching peak between 950 and 1,150 cm-1 in the wavenumber. We observed a correlation between the optical emission intensity ratio of (ISi+ISiH)/IO. The OES intensity ratio is also related with the measured refractive index and chemical composition ratio of the deposited thin film. Therefore, we report the added value of OES data analysis from the plasma related to the thin film characteristics in the PECVD process.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) structures have great potential in many applications. Currently, the most commonly used method to grow ZnO nanostructres are the vapor transport method (VPT). The morphology of the ZnO structures largely related to the growth conditions, including growth temperature, distance between the substrate and source, and gas ambient. Previously ZnO nanosturecutres with high crystallinity were obtained at the growth temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$, in the argon and oxygen gas ambient. In this study, we report the properties of the ZnO nanostructures, which were synthesized on Au-catalyzed Si substrate by VPT, using a mixture of ZnO and graphite powders as source material under the different condition, including gas ratio of argon/oxygen and distance between substrate and source at the growth temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$. The structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanostructures were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and photoluminescence (PL).

An onshore dismantling yard is an important part in the supply chain of the offshore oil and gas decommissioning industry. However, despite having more than 500 offshore structures to be decommissioned in the Southeast Asia region, there are a very limited number of well-equipped dismantling yards to fully execute the onshore dismantling. Recent investigations discovered that shipbuilding and offshore structure fabrication yards are still potential options for upgrades to include dismantling. Despite the huge potential opportunities from upgrading to dismantling, research studies on this area are relatively scarce, and most past studies mainly focused on the North Sea region. To date, the potential opportunities of Southeast Asia and Malaysia yards to develop onshore dismantling capability are still unclear. The aim of this study is to identify the criteria to develop a technical preparedness checklist to evaluate an onshore dismantling yard; consequently, this will assist with assessing and bridging the gaps and identify the opportunity of developing an onshore dismantling yard in Southeast Asia region. Requirements for onshore dismantling and related rules and regulations have been investigated and summarized in the form of checklist. Findings from this study can help local oil and gas operators to pursue more local solutions and resilient supply chain performance.

Applying more features gives us better accuracy in modeling; however, increasing the inputs causes the curse of dimensions. In this paper, a new structure has been proposed for fault detecting and identifying (FDI) of high-dimensional systems. This structure consist of two structure. The first part includes Auto-Encoders (AE) as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to produce feature engineering process and summarize the features. The second part consists of the Local Model Networks (LMNs) with LOcally LInear MOdel Tree (LOLIMOT) algorithm to model outputs (multiple models). The fault detection is based on these multiple models. Hence the residuals generated by comparing the system output and multiple models have been used to alarm the faults. To show the effectiveness of the proposed structure, it is tested on single-shaft industrial gas turbine prototype model. Finally, a brief comparison between the simulated results and several related works is presented and the well performance of the proposed structure has been illustrated.
