The growing demand for hydrocarbons has driven the exploration of riskier prospects in depths, pressures, and temperatures. Substantial volumes of hydrocarbons lie within deep formations, classified as high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) zone. This study aims to delineate hydrocarbon potential in the HPHT zone of the Malay Basin through the integrated application of rock physics analysis, pre-stack seismic inversion, and artificial neural network (ANN). The zones of interest lie within Sepat Field, located offshore Peninsular Malaysia, focusing on the HPHT area in Group H. The rock physics technique involves the cross-plotting of rock properties, which helps to differentiate the lithology of sand and shale and discriminates the fluid into water and hydrocarbon. The P-impedance, S-impedance, Vp/Vs ratio, density, scaled inverse quality factor of P (SQp), and scaled inverse quality factor of S (SQs) volumes are generated from pre-stack seismic inversion of 3D seismic data. The obtained volumes demonstrate spatial variations of values within the zone of interest, indicating hydrocarbon accumulation. Furthermore, the ANN model is successfully trained, tested, and validated using 3D elastic properties as input, to predict porosity volume. Finally, the trained neural network is applied to the entire reservoir volume to attain a 3D porosity model. The results reveal that rock physics study, pre-stack seismic inversion, and ANN approach helps to recognize reservoir rock and fluids in the HPHT zone.

This paper presents the preliminary results of using artificial neural networks in the prediction of gas side convective heat transfer coefficients on a high pressure turbine blade. The artificial neural network approach which has three hidden layers was developed and trained by nine inputs and it generates one output. Input and output data were taken from an experimental research program performed at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics by Camci and Arts [5,6] and Camci [7]. Inlet total pressure, inlet total temperature, inlet turbulence intensity, inlet and exit Mach numbers, blade wall temperature, incidence angle, specific location of measurement and suction/pressure side specification of the blade were used as input parameters and calculated heat transfer coefficient around a rotor blade used as output. After the network is trained with experimental data, heat transfer coefficients are interpolated for similar experimental conditions and compared with both experimental measurements and CFD solutions. CFD analysis was carried out to validate the algorithm and to determine heat transfer coefficients for a closely related test case. Good agreement was obtained between CFD results and neural network predictions.

The stress-strain data of 20MnNiMo alloy were collected from a series of hot compressions on Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator in the temperature range of 1173∼1473 K and strain rate range of 0.01∼10 s−1. Based on the experimental data, the improved Arrhenius-type constitutive model and the artificial neural network (ANN) model were established to predict the high temperature flow stress of as-cast 20MnNiMo alloy. The accuracy and reliability of the improved Arrhenius-type model and the trained ANN model were further evaluated in terms of the correlation coefficient (R), the average absolute relative error (AARE), and the relative error (η). For the former,Rand AARE were found to be 0.9954 and 5.26%, respectively, while, for the latter, 0.9997 and 1.02%, respectively. The relative errors (η) of the improved Arrhenius-type model and the ANN model were, respectively, in the range of −39.99%∼35.05% and −3.77%∼16.74%. As for the former, only 16.3% of the test data set possessesη-values within±1%, while, as for the latter, more than 79% possesses. The results indicate that the ANN model presents a higher predictable ability than the improved Arrhenius-type constitutive model.

Nickel alloys are widely used in the production of gas turbine parts. The alloys show resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation under severe long-term stress and high temperatures. One of the major mechanical properties of the alloys is the high-temperature rupture strength, which is measured after a specimen is heated to a certain temperature and held for a certain time considering deformation. Determining the influence of certain elements on the properties of an alloy is a complex scientific and engineering problem that affects the time and cost of developing new materials. Simulation is a great chance to cut costs. In this paper, we predict a high-temperature strength based on the composition of refractory elements in alloys using a deep learning artificial neural network. We build the model based on prior knowledge of the composition of the alloys, information on the role of alloying elements, type of crystallization, test temperature and time, and the tensile strength. Successful simulation results show the applicability of this method in practice.
