Abstract:
Apache has developed a number of small oil fields using unmanned minimum facilities platforms close to Varanus Island, on the North West Shelf of Western Australia. Production from each platform is commingled into a single production trunkline. Wells producing at high watercut are artificially lifted using gaslift. Production monitoring and well allocation uses multi-phase flow meters situated on each platform. The use of these meters minimises total infrastructure cost, while still allowing the direct testing of each well. Test results are used for production optimisation of the individual we

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a practical model to determine the economic replacement time (ERT) of production machines. The objective is to minimise the total cost of capital equipment, where total cost includes acquisition, operating, maintenance costs and costs related to the machine’s downtime. The costs related to the machine’s downtime are represented by the costs of using a redundant machine. Design/methodology/approach – In total, four years of cost data are collected.

The choice of correct inspection intervals poses a serious challenge to industries that utilise physical assets. Too short an interval increases operational cost and waste production time while too long an interval increases the likelihood of unexpected asset failures. Failure Modes and Effect Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a technique that permits qualitative evaluation of assets' functions to predict critical failure modes and the resultant consequences to determine appropriate maintenance tasks for the assets.

Hydrogen presents an attractive option to decarbonise the present energy system. Hydrogen can extend the usage of the existing gas infrastructure with low-cost energy storability and flexibility. Excess electricity generated by renewables can be converted into hydrogen. In this paper, a novel multi-energy systems optimisation model was proposed to maximise investment and operating synergy in the electricity, heating, and transport sectors, considering the integration of a hydrogen system to minimise the overall costs. The model considers two hydrogen production processes: (i) gas-to-gas (G2G)

Abstract:
Water production in the early life of Coal Seam Gas (CSG) recovery makes these reservoirs different from conventional gas reservoirs. Normally, a large amount of water is produced during the early production period, while the gas-rate is negligible. It is essential to drill infill wells in optimum locations to reduce the water production and increase the gas recovery. To optimise infill locations in a CSG reservoir, an integrated framework is developed to couple the reservoir flow simulator (ECLIPSE) and the genetic algorithm (GA) optimisation toolbox of (MATLAB).

Dynamic facility layout planning (DFLP) involves determining an appropriate arrangement scheme of the elements making up the production system for each time period into which the planning horizon is divided.

Abstract:
Quality cost analysis is considered a very important instrument used in quality economics. Interpretation of changes in the quality cost level, cost optimisation effectiveness and indicating the directions for quality improvement plan verification represent the subject of this analysis. Evaluation of the compliance and non-compliance costs in the development of quality costs in a selected enterprise during the years 2004-2009 was the main goal of this study. A limited liability company conducting manufacturing activity in the province of Warmia and Mazury was selected which mainly produces acc

Abstract:
Abstract Ireland’s milk production sector relies on grass-based spring-calving systems, which facilitates cost advantages in milk production but entails a high degree of supply seasonality. Among other implications, this supply seasonality involves extra costs in the processing sector including elevated plant capacities and varying levels of resource utilisation throughout the year. If both the national raw milk production increased substantially (e.g. post-milk quota) and a high degree of seasonality persisted, extra processing capacities would be required to cope with peak supplies.

Abstract:
The effect of varying the weight percentage composition (wt.%) of low-cost expandable graphite (EG), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), fibreglass (FG), and vermiculite (VMT) in polyurethane (PU) polymer was studied using a traditional intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system. The synergistic effect between EG, APP, FG, and VMT on the flame retardant properties of the PU composites was investigated using SEM, TGA, tensile strength tests, and cone calorimetry. The IFR that contained PU composites with 40 wt.% EG displayed superior flame retardant performance compared with the composites containing o

Abstract:
Successful completion of the first stage of the CO2CRC Otway Project demonstrated safe and effective CO2 storage in the Naylor depleted gas field and confirmed our ability to model and monitor subsurface behaviour of CO2. It also provided information of potential relevance to CO2 enhanced gas recovery (EGR) and to opportunities for CO2 storage in depleted gas fields. Given the high CO2 concentration of many gas fields in the region, it is important to consider opportunities for integrating gas production, CO2 storage in depleted gas fields, and CO2-EGR optimisation within a production schedule

Abstract:
In the context of the high dependency on fossil fuels, the strong efforts aiming to shift towards a more sustainable world are having significant economic and political impacts. The electricity market is now encouraging prosumers to consume their own production, and thus reduce grid exchanges. Self-consumption can be increased using storage systems or rescheduling the loads. This effort involves not only residential prosumers but also industrial ones. The rescheduling process is an optimisation problem that can be effectively solved with evolutionary algorithms (EAs).

Abstract:
Production and profit in grazed systems remain inherently constrained by the fundamental trade-off between maximising individual herbage intake and pasture utilisation. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the trade-off between herbage intake per cow and intake per hectare, from the perspective of economic optimisation, for an intensive pasture-based dairy farm in New Zealand (NZ). A detailed optimisation model of a dairy farm is applied, to allow the complex animal–plant–supplement dynamics underlying this relationship to be explicitly considered. Model output confirmed the e
