Maximising Production Via Transforming A Sand-sensitive …

Abstract. Since 1984, Peninsular Malaysia's gas fields have followed a distinct operational philosophy. In the initial field development, sand production was not considered a concern, resulting in wells and facilities without designs for sand management. Consequently, wells are confined to their maximum sand-free rate. …

Mechanisms of contractile ring tension production and constriction

An early mathematical model invoked a gradient of surface tension to produce constriction, highest at the equator and lowest at the poles (White and Borisy 1983). A recent model used active gel theory to describe the shape evolution of dividing sand-dollar zygotes (Turlier et al. 2014). Myosin activity was assumed highest at the …
