The oceanographic research vessel is fitted with a bow mounted sonar dome which gives a oversized bulbous bow. This resulted in unduly high rise in vessel resistance. CFD analyses were carried out to optimise the dome size with reference to the powering aspect.
Developing new innovative technologies to overcome operational and technical challenges involved in horizontal wells multistage fracturing, the alternative way to increase SRV is by creating multiple radial fractures by performing pulse fracturing. Pulse fracturing is a relatively new technique, can serve as an alternative to conventional hydraulic fracturing in many cases such as to stimulate naturally fractured reservoirs to connect with pre-existing fractures, to stimulate heavy oil with cold heavy oil production technique, to remove condensate banking nearby wellbore region, and when to avoid formation damage near the vicinity of the wellbore originated due to perforation.
Delivered the dome form parameters which could be more appropriate for the vessel and the sonar use.
