Effect of novel hybrid texture tool on turning process performance in MQL machining of Inconel 718 superalloy
ABSTRACTHigher cutting zone temperatures are responsible for poor turning process performance during dry machining of Inconel 718 material. In the present work, a novel hybrid surface texture tool ...
Summary In the pilot study, a new geomodeling technology is presented for developing 3D heterogonous geomodels for Athabasca McMurray (MCMR) oil sands. The geomodels were used to simulate SAGD thermal recovery. Both conventional SAGD completions and SAGD with ICD completions were tested. The simulation results show that for a heterogeneous Athabasca McMurray oil sand reservoir, the ICD completion technology enhances oil production and reduces steam consumption. As a result, the economics of SAGD recovery from the heterogeneous sands is improved.
