Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy is an essential resource for social operation, and oil and gas are the main types of energy consumed in the world today. Certainly, the oil and gas storage and transportation process itself also consumes a great deal of energy, which cannot promote production or create economic benefits. Under the concept of energy conservation, green environmental protection and low-carbon economic development, if the petroleum industry wants to reduce energy consumption and achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to practice energy-saving design for oil and gas storage and transportation systems in order to reduce energy consumption and improve the comprehensive economic benefits.

In this Special Issue, we aim to publish state-of-the-art research concerning sustainable energy-saving technologies in oil and gas storage and transportation, and to present and highlight the revolutionary paradigms and methodologies in this field.

In this Special Issue, both original research articles and review papers are welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Overview and perspective of energy saving technology;
  • Efficient, safe, and clean petroleum storage and transportation;
  • Process optimization design;
  • Oil transportation without heating;
  • Transport policy and safety;
  • Safety assessment of oil and gas pipelines and equipment;
  • Corrosion and protection technology of oil and gas pipelines and wellbores;
  • Cooperative operation between new energy and oil and gas energy;
  • Flow assurance;
  • Crude oil and sewage treatment;
  • Hydrogen storage and transportation technology;
  • Carbon dioxide capture, storage and transportation technology.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Due to the particularity of their process, petrochemical enterprises have high requirements for the reliability of power supply. If a large-scale blackout occurs due to a grounding fault, it will pose a huge threat to safe production. When the resonant grounding system of petrochemical enterprises faults, due to the complex fault process and weak fault signal, it is difficult to accurately detect the faulty feeder by traditional methods. This paper presents a new method of grey correlation degree based on adaptive frequency band. Firstly, the transient zero-sequence current of each feeder is decomposed by coif5 wavelet, and the low frequency band a5 (power frequency component) and high frequency band d1, d2 (noise signal) are removed. By stacking all of the remaining frequency band signals to construct the wavelet area matrix, the faulty feeder detection characteristic scale and the first faulty feeder detection result are obtained. Secondly, based on the faulty feeder detection characteristic scale, the second faulty feeder detection result is obtained by the average grey correlation degree matrix, which detects the faulty feeder according to the waveform correlation degree. Finally, the final faulty feeder detection result is obtained by equal weight voting. In MATLAB/Simulink, the 10 kV resonant grounding system of petrochemical enterprises is modeled. A large number of simulation results show that the faulty feeder detection method is not affected by the initial phase angle (0°, 45° and 90°), transition resistance (10 Ω, 100 Ω and 1000 Ω), fault distance (1 km, 8 km and 15 km) and overcompensation degree (5%, 8% and 10%), and has good sensitivity.

The transportation of highly viscous oil surrounded by water annulus has been recognized as a feasible option in terms of low-energy consumption and high efficiency. During the process of heavy oil delivery, the problem of pipe fittings is inevitably encountered, and the most common one is elbow assembly. In this present study, simulations for oil-water core annular flow (CAF) through a 90° elbow pipe were performed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on VOF, standard k-ε, and CSF models. Simulation results were consistent with experimental data, which verifies the validity and practicability of the proposed model. The effects of inlet water fraction, superficial velocities of oil and water, oil properties (density and viscosity), and pipe geometry-related parameters (diameter ratio, wall roughness, and surface wettability) on the hydrodynamic performance and stability characteristics were explored. It is revealed that inlet water fraction, superficial velocities of oil and water, oil properties, and pipe geometric parameters do influence the volume fraction of oil and the stability of the water ring. Furthermore, the oil core may adhere to the downstream of the 90° elbow pipe under certain operational conditions. The results could provide a reference for the design of 90° elbow pipe structures and the optimization of operation parameters. Full article

The impact of subsynchronous oscillation (SSO) on grid security is becoming increasingly prominent with the rapid development of a large new energy base. However, the SSO modes and characteristics in complex power systems where series-complementary AC systems, DC systems, wind farms, and thermal power plants co-exist simultaneously are still not well understood, and relevant research has yet to be conducted. To address these issues, this study aims to investigate the SSO oscillation modes and the participation of specific influencing factors using eigenvalue and participation factor analysis. Additionally, the influence of system operation mode and control parameters on the SSO characteristics is studied through eigenvalue analysis. The findings of this study suggest that multiple oscillation sources and the co-existence of various oscillation patterns in hybrid AC–DC transmission systems cause SSO problems. The SSOs arise due to inappropriate system operation or parameter selection. As the series compensation increases, the system tends to become unstable. The system stability improves when the wind power output increases or the thermal power output decreases while keeping the output power of other sources constant. On the other hand, the system stability decreases as the DC transmission power gradually decreases. In terms of the control parameters, a higher value of the inner-loop proportionality coefficient of the converter current on the rotor side of the wind turbine results in a more unstable system. However, the rotor-side converter outer loop parameters and the stator-side control loop PI parameters have a negligible effect on the oscillation frequency and damping of the system. Matlab time domain simulations are conducted to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis. Full article

The wellbore downhole strings corrosion has attracted extensive interest as most of the oilfields in China enter the high water-cut period. Injection of corrosion inhibitors, one of the most effective corrosion protection methods, is employed to mitigate the wellbore corrosion. Nevertheless, its wider application suffers from insufficient knowledge regarding the distribution of corrosion inhibitors inside the tubing, particularly with different inhibitor injection cycles. Thus, in this study, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was first attempted to investigate the hydrodynamics in a tubing and the interactions between the corrosion inhibitor and produced fluid with high water-cut. Key factors including the time, wellbore heights, injection rates, oil phase velocities and corrosion inhibitor viscosities were discussed in detail as regards how they affect the corrosion inhibitor distribution inside the tubing. Feasible formulas were established for predicting the volume fraction of the corrosion inhibitor at different wellbore heights, which showed good agreement with the simulation results. It is noted that the determination of the corrosion inhibitor injection rate depends on both the film quality of the corrosion inhibitor and the stability of the annular flow. Based on the interphase diffusion effect, a new method for determining the intermittent injection cycle of corrosion inhibitor was proposed to maintain the integrity of corrosion inhibitor film at the tubing inner wall.

Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are gaining global consensus, and carbon reduction in aviation is necessary and urgent. The main objective of this research paper is to map and analyze the knowledge graph of aviation carbon emissions research from a bibliometric perspective. Publications related to aviation carbon emissions indexed by Scopus for the period 1992 to 2021 were analyzed primarily using CiteSpace software. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of current research progress from four perspectives: (1) descriptive analysis of publications, involving annual distribution, authors, and journals; (2) analysis of co-cited authors and their countries; (3) co-citation analysis of cited references; and (4) co-occurrence analysis of keywords. A series of domain knowledge maps were constructed to visualize the core of aviation carbon emissions research and to distill the research perspectives on aviation carbon emissions in the past 20 years. The latest and most important research results in the field obtained through the combing provide certain references for the research and development of aviation carbon emissions. Full article

The corrosion behaviour of J55 steel in typical high-water-cut oil wells and the inhibition effects of different types of corrosion inhibitors were investigated. Using electrochemical experiments, the effects of temperature, Cl−, HCO3−, Ca2+, Mg2+ and pH on the corrosion of J55 steel were studied. Under experimental conditions, the corrosion rate slowed with increasing pH value when the temperature increased from 35 °C to 70 °C. The corrosion rate also increased first and then decreased with increasing Cl−, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ion concentrations, which notably affected the distribution of corrosion pits on the surfaces of the steel. The protection performances of various corrosion inhibitors and corrosion products were evaluated through electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the CT-2, UT2-2 and YC-2 inhibitors had obvious effects on the corrosion prevention of the J55 steel. In particular, the corrosion inhibition efficiencies of the three kinds of carbon steel were remarkable and exceeded 84% when the UT2-2 concentration reached 0.18 g/L. Full article
