Development of an assessment methodology for geopressured zones of the upper Gulf Coast based on a study of abnormally pressured gas fields in South Texas. Progress report, 1 March 1976--31 May 1976

Description: During the fourth quarterly reporting period project change-in-scope was approved extending the study area to include Brooks, the remainder of Kenedy and Live Oak Counties. An interim progress report covering that reporting period is presented. Effort during the quarter was directed toward (1) locating drillstem and production test results from geopressured formations, (2) determining formation parameters in an additional large number of producing wells, and (3) searching production records for… more

Centralized Reliability Data Organization (CREDO) assessment of critical component unavailability in liquid metal reactors

Description: The Centralized Reliability Data Organization (CREDO) is the largest repository of liquid metal reactor (LMR) component reliability data in the world. It is jointly sponsored by the US Dept. of Energy (DOE) and the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC) of Japan. The CREDO data base contains information on a population of more than 20,000 components and approximately 1500 event records. A conservative estimation is that the total component operating hours is approaching 2.… more

Effects of whole-body. gamma. -irradiation on the biosynthesis of certain serum proteins. Final report, November 29, 1967--June 30, 1976. [Rats]

Description: Whole-body exposure of rats to ionizing radiations yielded an increased incorporation of labeled amino acids into serum albumin in in vivo studies suggesting a stimulation of biosynthesis. Actually this may have been caused by an elevated hepatic transport of labeled amino acids (see below). A suppressed biosynthesis of albumin was observed when the experiments were performed in vitro using liver microsomes. Impaired biosynthesis appeared to be caused by a reduced mRNA production. Irradiation s… more

Workshops and Problems for Benchmarking Eddy Current Codes

Description: A series of six workshops was held to compare eddy current codes, using six benchmark problems. The problems include transient and steady-state ac magnetic fields, close and far boundary conditions, magnetic and non-magnetic materials. All the problems are based either on experiments or on geometries that can be solved analytically. The workshops and solutions to the problems are described. Results show that many different methods and formulations give satisfactory solutions, and that in many c… more

Development of an assessment methodology for geopressured zones of the upper Gulf Coast based on a study of abnormally pressured gas fields in South Texas. Progress report, 1 December 1975--29 February 1976. [300/sup 0/F isothermal surface at 10,500 to 14,000 ft]

Description: Twenty-four separate gas fields producing from geopressured sands have been identified in the South Texas area that includes Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy and the lower half of Kenedy Counties. Of these, twenty are in Hidalgo County. Geological study and detailed investigation of reservoir parameters in each of the fields have been accomplished. Two areas in particular are discussed in some detail in this paper: the Vicksburg Trend on the west, represented by McAllen Ranch Field, and the south cent… more

Potential for triggering of earthquakes by stimulation of dry rock geothermal fields

Description: Stimulation of dry geothermal fields requires the injection of very large volumes of fluid, probably at pressures in excess of the least principal stress in the rocks. The high fluid pressure, if transmitted along faults under shear stress would reduce sigma/sub n/, the effective normal stress, and hence the frictional resistance to sliding along the fault. Earthquakes triggered by water flooding in the Rangely oil field in Colorado are discussed. Calculations indicate that earthquakes are like… more

Recommendations of the NNCSC-BNL study

Description: In 1975 the National Neutron Cross Section Center (NNCSC) at BNL was asked to carry out a study of the nuclear structure and charged-particle reaction data compilation and evaluation efforts in the U. S. with a view toward establishing at NNCSC responsibility for a fully coordinated effort involving measurers, compilers, evaluators, and users whose activities would result in the creation and maintenance of a master file for nuclear structure and charged-particle reaction data. A critique of thi… more
