This work aims to study the fluctuation structure of physical properties of oil well profiles. It was used as technique the analysis of fluctuations without trend (Detrended Fluctuation Analysis - DFA). It has been made part of the study 54 oil wells in the Campo de Namorado located in the Campos Basin in Rio de Janeiro. We studied five sections, namely: sonic, density, porosity, resistivity and gamma rays. For most of the profiles , DFA analysis was available in the literature, though the sonic perfile was estimated with the aid of a standard algorithm. The comparison between the exponents of DFA of the five profiles was performed using linear correlation of variables, so we had 10 comparisons of profiles. Our null hypothesis is that the values of DFA for the various physical properties are independent. The main result indicates that no refutation of the null hypothesis. That is, the fluctuations observed by DFA in the profiles do not have a universal character, that is, in general the quantities display a floating structure of their own. From the ten correlations studied only the profiles of density and sonic one showed a significant correlation (p> 0.05). Finally these results indicate that one should use the data from DFA with caution, because, in general, based on geological analysis DFA different profiles can lead to disparate conclusions

Comparação da análise de diferentes perfis de poços pelo método DFA

The study of complex systems has become a prestigious area of science, although relatively young . Its importance was demonstrated by the diversity of applications that several studies have already provided to various fields such as biology , economics and Climatology . In physics , the approach of complex systems is creating paradigms that influence markedly the new methods , bringing to Statistical Physics problems macroscopic level no longer restricted to classical studies such as those of thermodynamics . The present work aims to make a comparison and verification of statistical data on clusters of profiles Sonic ( DT ) , Gamma Ray ( GR ) , induction ( ILD ) , neutron ( NPHI ) and density ( RHOB ) to be physical measured quantities during exploratory drilling of fundamental importance to locate , identify and characterize oil reservoirs . Software were used : Statistica , Matlab R2006a , Origin 6.1 and Fortran for comparison and verification of the data profiles of oil wells ceded the field Namorado School by ANP ( National Petroleum Agency ) . It was possible to demonstrate the importance of the DFA method and that it proved quite satisfactory in that work, coming to the conclusion that the data H ( Hurst exponent ) produce spatial data with greater congestion . Therefore , we find that it is possible to find spatial pattern using the Hurst coefficient . The profiles of 56 wells have confirmed the existence of spatial patterns of Hurst exponents , ie parameter B. The profile does not directly assessed catalogs verification of geological lithology , but reveals a non-random spatial distribution

Novo método para estimativa do gradiente de fratura para poços de petróleo

The development of oil wells drilling requires additional cares mainly if the drilling is in offshore ultra deep water with low overburden pressure gradients which cause low fracture gradients and, consequently, difficult the well drilling by the reduction of the operational window. To minimize, in the well planning phases, the difficulties faced by the drilling in those sceneries, indirect models are used to estimate fracture gradient that foresees approximate values for leakoff tests. These models generate curves of geopressures that allow detailed analysis of the pressure behavior for the whole well. Most of these models are based on the Terzaghi equation, just differentiating in the determination of the values of rock tension coefficient. This work proposes an alternative method for prediction of fracture pressure gradient based on a geometric correlation that relates the pressure gradients proportionally for a given depth and extrapolates it for the whole well depth, meaning that theses parameters vary in a fixed proportion. The model is based on the application of analytical proportion segments corresponding to the differential pressure related to the rock tension. The study shows that the proposed analytical proportion segments reaches values of fracture gradient with good agreement with those available for leakoff tests in the field area. The obtained results were compared with twelve different indirect models for fracture pressure gradient prediction based on the compacting effect. For this, a software was developed using Matlab language. The comparison was also made varying the water depth from zero (onshore wellbores) to 1500 meters. The leakoff tests are also used to compare the different methods including the one proposed in this work. The presented work gives good results for error analysis compared to other methods and, due to its simplicity, justify its possible application

Tratamento de dados associados com a radiação solar fornecidos pelo Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, Madeira

Este relatório técnico tem como objetivo descrever o modo como os registos das amostras de dados, i.e., medições das grandezas meteorológicas fornecidas pelo Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA), ilha da Madeira, foram tratadas. Foram utilizados registos de oito estações meteorológicas distribuídas pela ilha. No relatório técnico estão descritos os processos de filtragem das medições de radiação solar global e radiação solar difusa, de temperatura máxima e mínima do ar, a correção da radiação solar difusa, o preenchimento de lacunas nas medições e a dimensão da amostra de dados utilizada em cada estação. Este relatório também descreve os métodos utilizados para preencher as lacunas nas séries de dados originais, bem como os métodos utilizados na construção do ano médio e do ano meteorológico típico. O ano meteorológico típico será posteriormente usado na simulação da produção de energia solar através de sistemas fotovoltaicos instalados na ilha da Madeira.

Análise não linear de séries temporais e aplicações à Psicologia

Nesta dissertação estudámos as séries temporais que representam a complexa dinâmica do comportamento. Demos especial atenção às técnicas de dinâmica não linear. As técnicas fornecem-nos uma quantidade de índices quantitativos que servem para descrever as propriedades dinâmicas do sistema. Estes índices têm sido intensivamente usados nos últimos anos em aplicações práticas em Psicologia. Estudámos alguns conceitos básicos de dinâmica não linear, as características dos sistemas caóticos e algumas grandezas que caracterizam os sistemas dinâmicos, que incluem a dimensão fractal, que indica a complexidade de informação contida na série temporal, os expoentes de Lyapunov, que indicam a taxa com que pontos arbitrariamente próximos no espaço de fases da representação do espaço dinâmico, divergem ao longo do tempo, ou a entropia aproximada, que mede o grau de imprevisibilidade de uma série temporal. Esta informação pode então ser usada para compreender, e possivelmente prever, o comportamento. ABSTRACT: ln this thesis we studied the time series that represent the complex dynamic behavior. We focused on techniques of nonlinear dynamics. The techniques provide us a number of quantitative indices used to describe the dynamic properties of the system. These indices have been extensively used in recent years in practical applications in psychology. We studied some basic concepts of nonlinear dynamics, the characteristics of chaotic systems and some quantities that characterize the dynamic systems, including fractal dimension, indicating the complexity of information in the series, the Lyapunov exponents, which indicate the rate at that arbitrarily dose points in phase space representation of a dynamic, vary over time, or the approximate entropy, which measures the degree of unpredictability of a series. This information can then be used to understand and possibly predict the behavior.
