The performance of a hydraulic fracturing fluid (HFF) system directly determines the efficiency of stimulation. Since the targeted formations of most oil fields in China are characterized by large depth (~5000 m), high temperature (160 to 180 °C) and tight lithology, newer and suitable HFFs have to be developed. Based on a newly synthetized organo-boron/-zirconium cross-linking agent (Gh-g), a composite temperature stabilizer (WJ-6) and other optimized additives via indoor evaluation, this study introduced a novel HFF, which is thermally stable at high temperature (HT) up to 180 °C and exerted low friction pressures. The performance of HFF was evaluated in the laboratory. The experimental results showed that the HFF system performed well at HTs. It maintained a viscosity of 100 mPa•s or more after 90 min of shearing (170 s−1) at 180 °C. Furthermore, the system exhibited delayed cross-linking. It took 120 s for the cross-linking reaction to complete; therefore, the tube friction was reduced to a large extent. Another characteristic feature of the formulated HFF system was the low friction pressures, where the drag reduction percentage was in the range from 35% to 70%. Moreover, only minor damage was caused by the fluid to the formation core samples. The average core permeability damage was 19.6%. All these qualities ensure that this fluid system is in full compliance with the requirements of the fracturing treatment.

Automatic vessel collision-avoidance systems have been studied in the fields of artificial intelligence and navigation for decades. And to facilitate automatic collision-avoidance decision-making in two-vessel-encounter situation, several expert and fuzzy expert systems have been developed. However, none of them can negotiate with each other as seafarers usually do when they intend to make a harmonious and more economic overall plan of collision avoidance in the COLREGS-COST-HIGH situations where collision avoidance following the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea(COLREGS) costs too much. A negotiation framework was put forward in our previous research to enable vessels to negotiate for optimizing collision avoidance in the COLREGS-COST-HIGH situations at open sea. In this paper, the negotiation framework is improved by considering the planned route of both vessels. The simulation results show that more economic overall plan of collision avoidance may be achieved by the improved framework when one or both parties deviate from their planed route or are approaching their next way points.
