Oliveira, Leonardo Mendonça Tenório de Magalhães. "Modelagem e simulação da recuperação secundária em reservatórios de petróleo utilizando configuração Five-Spots." Universidade Federal de Alagoas, 2015. http://www.repositorio.ufal.br/handle/riufal/1215.
Full textO declínio das reservas petrolíferas vem sendo observado nos últimos anos e gera interesse no desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias capazes de aproveitar ao máximo os poços e reservatórios existentes de modo a elevar a recuperação de óleo. Para tanto, são utilizados métodos de recuperação secundária e avançada de petróleo, que consistem em se injetar determinados fluidos visando um aumento do diferencial de pressão no reservatório ou modificações nas propriedades físicas do óleo para uma produção maior e mais eficiente. O método de recuperação secundária que mais se destaca, e também o mais comum é a injeção de água. Tal método já se mostrou eficiente para recuperação de óleos pesados, entretanto o desafio do ambiente pré-sal tem promovido novas pesquisas voltadas para a remoção de óleos leves. O presente trabalho, então, tem como objetivo fazer a simulação fluidodinâmica de um reservatório de petróleo de dimensões quadráticas de 80,4 m x 80,4 m x 20 m com modelo de injeção five spots (cinco pontos) utilizando como fluidos injetores primeiramente a água e posteriormente o gás natural e água quente, para observar a evolução de suas frações volumétricas no interior do reservatório, seu fator de recuperação de óleo, a eficiência da recuperação como um todo e uma análise qualitativa de tempo de vida útil dos poços produtores. A modelagem desenvolvida baseou-se no modelo Água-Óleo bifásico e as simulações foram desenvolvidas nos pacotes fluidodinâmicos comerciais ICEM CFD e ANSYS CFX 13.0 respectivamente. Desse modo, foi constatado um fator de recuperação acima de 65% para o processo de injeção de água, bem como uma eficiência total de recuperação de 38%, viabilizando o processo para o óleo de bacias do pré-sal. Os outros métodos permitiram a validação da modelagem uma vez que os perfis e características encontrados foram fenomenologicamente plausíveis e similares àqueles da literatura.
Pougy, Roberto. "Unconventional oil and natural gas supplies and the mitigation of climate change." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017EHES0075.
Full textThis thesis in energy and environmental economics extends the geological Hotelling-type extraction-exploration model from Okullo, Reynes and Hofkes (2015) in order to account for the bell-shaped reserve additions that were empirically observed by Laherrère (2003). The proposed model explains them as the result of geological “sweet spots”: premium areas within geological formations where the concentration of hydrocarbons is highest. The proposed theoretical formulation was programmed into the mathematical model LOGIMA – “Long-term Oil and Gas Images” – and calibrated on data covering the seven main unconventional oil and gas plays in the United States. Results indicate the need to learn the location of sweet spots through trial and error drillings leads to schedules of exploratory effort that allow the optimal “de-risking” of exploratory activities. As a result, the optimal response of producers to price shocks becomes contingent on the prevailing level of cumulative discoveries.We apply LOGIMA to investigate the impact, caused by the recent advent of large-scale supplies of unconventional oil and gas, in the United States, on the ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change. We do so by soft coupling long-term scenarios from LOGIMA with the integrated assessment model, IMACLIM-R, a recursive, computable general equilibrium model of integrated global energy, economy and environment systems. We analyze how different price targets, potentially pursued by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), would affect supplies of unconventional oil and gas from the United States. We control this interplay under three climate policy frameworks: business as usual (BAU), nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and 2°C scenario (2DS). The results of the exercise show that, despite having a significant potential to affect global energy markets, unconventional oil and gas supplies would have a limited potential to affect global cumulative greenhouse gas emissions to 2040, as the different effects triggered in different sectors approximately balanced each other out

Full textThis research presents a methodology based on two noninvasive techniques for identification and diagnostic of hot spots in power transformers during operation or project development. The first is based on measurements of infrared radiation from the equipment during operation and recording by thermography. The second technique is possible from the previous knowing of the constructive characteristics of the power transformer, by using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The second technique can be validated from measurements obtained using the first technique. The gas formation into the power transformers, because of the high temperatures in the insulating oil due to the hot spots, is discussed in details based on normative recommendations well established by the IEEE and IEC. All techniques and procedures to be approached in this research were obtained using a 120-MVA power transformer with voltage relationship of 13.8/230 kV that was projected to interconnect a wind farm to the Interconnected Brazilian System (Sistema Interligado Nacional - SIN).

Full textThe oil market is arguably the most influential commodity market in the world, in that it has an effect on all economic variables in one way or another. Due to oil’s central role in the world economy, it is of the utmost importance that all parts of society strive to increase the understanding of how the market works. This study has analysed the efficiency of the oil market in the period 1986 to 2008, with the efficient market hypothesis as the theoretical framework. Data on the prices of spot and futures contracts on crude and heating oil has been collected from the New York Mercantile Exchange, and tested for cointegration, with the underlying assumption being that cointegration is a sign of weak form efficiency. The results implies that the spot and futures prices have not been cointegrated during the studied period, and thus we conclude that the oil market has not behaved in accordance with the weak form of the efficient market hypothesis.

The historical basis for a link between crude oil and natural gas prices was examined to determine whether one has existed in the past and exists in the present. Physical bases for a price relationship are examined. An econometric modeling exercise seeks to establish whether a stable price relationship exists and to define it through the use of a vector error correction model. The model identifies strong evidence of cointegration between the crude oil and natural gas spot price series in the United States. It conditions the predicted natural gas price volatility through exogenous variables related to weather and supply. Once identified, the relationship is clarified more efficiently through the implementation of a conditional error correction model. The model is then utilized to simulate the effects of weather shocks, seasonality, supply deviations and hurricane activity on the cointegrating relationship between crude oil and natural gas. Finally, an analysis is conducted to test whether the relationship shifts over time to new equilibria. The results of the series of exercises suggest that crude oil and natural gas prices have moved together historically and statistical analysis supports the assumption that the two price series continued to be cointegrated through the end of 2008. The analysis presents evidence that the relationship shifts over time to new equilibria, and the data suggest that these new eqilibria are likewise stable.

Full textApple scab, caused by Venturia inaequalis, and peacoq leaf spot, cause by Fusicladiumoleagineum, are key diseases respectively for apple and olive growers. These disease usuallyrequire a large number of treatments. Adequate protection need a good evaluation ofquantitative disponibility of inoculum, and estimation of infection conditions.In this thesis, these two problems were studied using only field data. This is an originalaprroach to obtain knowledge about biology of fungi : most previous works were realised byregression of laboratory data obtained under controled conditions.In the case of Venturia inaequalis, primary inoculum consists of pseudothecia present in leaflitter. Treatments agains ascospore release period is the cornerstone of the strategy againstapple scab. However, the existing forecasting models are not reliable, and are all based ondegree-day time scale, proposed in 1982.Here, using a corpus of data acquired between 1996 and 2013, including observations ofascospore release and weather data, we assessed the daily rate of development of primaryinoculum by fitting generic new time scale functions. Further improvements were then studiedto take into account elements reported in litterature about the incidence of rain or wetness.Different methods were tested and adapted for the parameterisation of models by numericaloptimisation. Some forcasting models were proposed and adapted to the area where the studywas conducted, with parameters including rain and temperature. The validity was tested, andfurther developements of the forecasting tool was then proposed.In the case of Fusicladium oleagineum, a field-operational model predicting disease outbreakswas established as a function of temperature and relative humidity.

In this study, we apply the BEKK multivariate GARCH model, proposed by Engle and Kroner (1995), to analyze the relationships among the Brent crude oil return, the West Texas Intermediate crude oil return and the Dubai crude oil return. The sample period is divided into before uptrend and during uptrend two sub-periods. First, we deeply analyze dynamic relationships of three crude oil returns. Moreover, we use impulse response function to analyze the dynamic effect when one variable’s innovation occurred. The results show that the return of Brent and WTI affect each other strongly especially during uptrend period. For spillover effect, the unexpected impulse occur positive effect to other markets before uptrend period. However, the result is inconsistent during up-trend period. Finally, for impulse response function, we found the impulse reflection period obviously extended when facing itself or other markets, during uptrend period. Thus, we prove that the dynamic relationships and impulse response function of three returns between oil price uptrend and during uptrend is obviously different.

This study looks to explore the link between two variables in order to understand the fluctuation in prices in the crude oil market. It analyzes both the WTI stock prices and Crude oil light futures prices traded on NYMEX, and whether there is a close interaction and mutual relationship between them, or whether they demonstrate price separation characteristics; using the single variable analysis model will not effectively offer us a joint explanation. What is needed is the multiple variable model, which takes into consideration variables from both sides in an attempt to derive at a most appropriate and complete analysis of the dynamic interaction between them. It is hoped that the findings can be useful as an important point of reference for both the investors and industries in deciding investment portfolio. The research subjects used in this study are the United States West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (WTI) stock prices and Texas light crude oil (Crude oil futures right) futures prices, and the time of this study is the daily closing information between January 2nd 1986 and November 25th 2008. Using the BEKK-GARCH(1,1) model, this article looks to explore the effects of return fluctuations in both the crude oil futures and the stock market. The study showed that there is a “price-connectedness and fluctuation pass-on effect” and a close interaction between US WTI crude oil futures prices and Texas light crude oil futures prices. The study revealed the following results: (1) there is a cause and effect relationship between crude oil futures and stock market. This conclusion is in line with the theory that futures have a price-finding function. (2) Investors trading in crude oil stock market are strongly influenced by previous crude oil futures market prices, and this shows that investors have a habit to study past transactions on crude oil futures before transacting on crude oil stock market. (3) Crude oil futures is often greater than the spillover effects of crude oil stock market fluctuations. (4) As the daily returns of previous issue crude oil futures or stock market began to wane and prices showed a downward trend, this gives an indication that investors will soon be buying in very quickly for profits or for great deals, and as a result causing a short supply in Texas light crude oil futures and WTI crude oil stock market.

With the weekly-data time series of crude oil spot price, and the spot prices of three kinds of bio-fuel crops, i.e. soybean, corn and wheat, as the endogenous variables, and the weekly-data time series of the U.S. dollar index as the exogenous variable, this thesis aims to empirically investigate the impact of the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 on the prices interaction among crude oil spots and the above three bio-fuel crops spots. All the data collected for investigation are from 01/03/2003 to 14/03/2008. The research results show that, before 2006, the crude oil spot price and the above three bio-fuel crops spot prices were not cointegrated; however, after 2006, they were cointegrated, meaning there was a long run equilibrium relationship among them. The author thinks it was the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and people’s psychology of expecting the enforcement of that policy since 2006 that caused this long run equilibrium state among the above variables. By further using the Vector Error Correction Model(VECM) to analyze the short run interaction among the above variables, it is shown that, corn spot price will return to the long run equilibrium state promptly after a short run deviation from the long run equilibrium state, hinting the liquidity of corn spots seems slower than that of corn futures; while in the prices interaction among crude oil spots and bio-fuel crops spots, crude oil spot price apparently had a strong influence on the spot prices of soybean and corn, and a two-way effect between crude oil spot price and corn spot price was found; however, no evident prices interaction was found between wheat spots and crude oil spots. Interaction among the prices of soybean, corn, and wheat, was also found, whether the interaction was caused by the direct or cross effect of price variation of the previous periods of respective variables; it was found that soybean spot price has the highest effect, and next comes with wheat. In addition, the continued depreciation of U.S. dollar during the period investigated was the main reason that caused the uprising of soybean and wheat spot prices. The analysis results of impulse response functions show that after 2006, the impulse responses of the price rates of return of all the above variables descended quickly to zero within 2 to 3 periods(weeks), indicating a strong relationship of short run error correction among the price rates of return of all the above variables. Lastly, the analysis results of the forecasted variance decomposition show that after 2006, the price rates of return of soybean spots and crude oil spots had more power in self explanation, with a level of more than 90%; the exogeneity of the price rates of return of corn spots and wheat spots was relatively weaker; the price rate of return of crude oil spots was accounted by the price rates of return of soybean spots and corn spots to the extent with 1.62% and 4.28% respectively, indicating that the effect of adopting corn-based bio-fuel as an alternative of crude oil was higher than that of soybean-based bio-fuel.

This study aims at finding out the linkages among oil spot, oil future, and stock markets. By using international oil spot, oil future, and market indices in different countries, and categorizing them into 3 separate models, the effects of price shocks originating from oil spot and oil futures markets on stock indices in different countries are examined. We use unite root test, cointegration test, VAR and VEC models to figure out the long- and short-term relationships among the variables of interest. The data are collected from July 21, 1999 to June 26, 2006. Our empirical results indicate that 1. According to unit root test, after first differences, the original variable series all became stationary ones. And the results of cointegration test show that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship among oil spot, oil future, and market indices in each country. Also, the long-term equilibrium relationship exists among oil spot, oil future, market indices, and market index futures in each country. 2. VEC model results indicate that short-term oil spot is overvalued and adjust to next session with a particular speed when oil spot is far away from long-term equilibrium. 3. According to the variance decomposition of forecast errors, in the model of market index and oil spot and futures, the most important factor is oil spot no matter there is a spontaneous interference of oil spot or oil futures. Up to 98% of market index can be explained by its spontaneous interference. In USA and Taiwan, no matter spontaneous interference exists in oil spot or oil futures, the most important factor is still the oil spot. However, in Japan, the essential factor is oil futures instead. 4. After observing the impact reactions among each variable when the spontaneous interference happens in oil futures, oil spot is influenced the most by oil future. Considering the market index futures while the spontaneous interference happens in market index, the impact of market index futures is affected most by the market index.

The change of crude oil price has a great influence on all economies, also exert an influence on other economies. Other relevant industries, high oil sensitive transportation industries, and oil intensive manufacturing industries have more direct influences. In view of this, the fluctuation of crude oil spot price correlates with high oil sensitive industries, and integrates between high returns and low returns. In the oil price, the dynamic relation of sensitive industries. Empirical results show that the lower oil price has positive effects in prospecting industries. Airlines and transportation industries must constantly purchase oil for a long period of time in order to keep operating, hence they have already avoid the oil price volatility risk. High oil sensitive industries stock indices returns jump intensity and frequency are all time variant. In addition, applying impulse response function to examine high and low returns of oil spots, which indicates that Nasdaq transportation stock indices has an independent character. For this reason, oil sensitive industries and investors must consider oil price variation to relevant industries effect, in order to offer policymakers to make appropriate decisions.

Because of the economic recession always comes with continuous rise in price of oil. Consequently, hedging of oil price becomes a crucial important issue. Although the GARCH model can capture the volatility of price and ARJI model can capture the jump component of price, it is not good enough to correct fat-tailed property of returns distribution. Base on the point, this paper employs the GARCH model, ARJI model and GARCH-NoVaS model that accommodate the heavy-tailed returns innovation proposed by Politis (2004) to further examine the hedge performance for crude oil commodity markets (WTI and Brent Crude Oil) under alternative hedging periods during the Gulf War in 1990. The empirical results show that hedging during high volatility period can reduce variance about 70%~80%. The ARJI model generates superior hedge performance to GARCH model. Moreover, the assumption of GARCH residual in heavy-tail distribution is more appropriate than normal distribution, so that models which accommodate with heavy-tail returns innovation have better hedge performance than traditional return specification. Overall, this paper suggests using the ARJI model to enhance the hedge performance for investors in WTI crude oil markets, while using the GARCH-NoVaS model to abate investment risk for them in Brent crude oil markets.

he complexity of two-dimensional seismic data often leads to mistakes in discriminating oil reservoir. However, mis-drilling caused by these mistakes brings about thirty million loss in cost each time. Seismic data interpreters do recognition by rules and experiences. If we can use neural network in place of rules and experiences, then we can get rid of some chances of seismic data interpreters’ emotional discrimination or mislook. The past oil reservoir bright spot detections still can't be applied to practice for two reasons. First, target seismic data in past research to be detected is in perfect condition. Interpreters seldom deal with these kinds of seismic data in reality. There is a big difference between seismic data in perfect condition and seismic data in practice. Second, the seismic attributes that past research used differs from that interpreters used in oil companies. The primary goal of this research is to apply back-propagation neural network to pattern recognition of oil reservoir bright spot. By interviewing with Seismic data interpreters in the oil company, we propose five seismic attributes in common use including seismic signal, evelope, instantaneous frequency, instantaneous phase and inversion impedance. After five seismic attributes of feature extraction, we do pre-processing on extracted features including transformating .segy file into .mat file, elimination of blunder, elimination of outlier, normalization and building feature set matrixes. Then, we import feature set into neural network and train matrix by matrix. By tuning any possible neural network layer, hidden layer node, training function(Levenberg-Marquardt, Conjugate Gradient), we have summed up to 12480 times of neural network training. Finally, we propose a method of optimized-recognition rated oil reservoir bright spot detection.

The international crude oil price surges upward are one of the serious concerns that will directly impact on international economies. During 1970’s, international erupted by the Egyptian War and the Iranian coup detect, that caused the international crude oil supply contraction. Further on, the initiation also caused two times of international petroleum crisis. At the same time the global economy fell into immediately the stagnation inflation. Afterwards, the various countries start to launch the new policies by focusing on the new energy saving plan and trying to develop the new source of energy hence to replace the existing sources. Therefore the international oil price is beginning to fall back in the average prices. However in this research paper has been pointed out, in the recent years the international oil price starts to continue surges upward again, from January 1999 the average oil price was 12 US dollars per barrel. Not surprising in 2006, the international oil price has already risen upon 70 US dollars per barrel. The petroleum has been concerned as one of the most essential elements in relating to various every day’s human needs. For instance if the international oil price has been dramatic change, it is also making the greatest impact on one nation’s development. Those areas are such as political, economic, armed forces and every day’s human needs and so on. Not only has this, the changing on international oil price has leaded us into the difficult situation. Especially in Taiwan, our nation has heavily relied on crude oil by processing many other industrial activities. In this paper has also been examined the different strategies to avoid the risk by rising upwards of international oil price. In this research paper has also been focused on the areas of long term price re-evaluation. Therefore we may used the data been collected by looking the pervious average price and further on by establishing the general guide line to avoid the international oil price fluency. According to this paper, the author has also been examined the various risk management model such as Binomial Option Pricing Model (BOPM). This model may help us by forecasting, comparing and contrasting the changed has been made previously. By using this particular model may also provide our government authority; public organization to execute their purchasing strategies.

Using the non-parametric rank tests proposed by Breitung (2001), we set out in this study to determine whether any non-linear long-run equilibrium relationship exists between the petroleum spot and futures prices. We then estimate the nonlinear and asymmetry Threshold Error-correction model (TECM) with Bivariate GJR-GARCH model to capture the short-run and long-run dynamic adjustments with the asymmetric price and volatility transmissions between the petroleum spot and futures prices. We find that the petroleum futures prices are cointegrated and nonlinear with spot prices in the long-run. This effectively confirms the expectation hypothesis and that asymmetric adjustment for the futures basis toward the long-run value display a positive basis from the long-run equilibrium level more persistently than a negative basis from that level. In the variance equations, we find that when bad news happens in the petroleum spot and futures markets, volatility will increase in its own market. Besides, asymmetric effects are also found in both the petroleum spot and futures markets in our conditional variance models.

Abstract Recent research shows that efforts to limit climate change should focus on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide over other greenhouse gases or air pollutants. Many countries are paying substantial attention to carbon emissions to improve air quality and public health. The largest source of carbon emissions from human activities in some countries in Europe and elsewhere is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. The prices of fuel and carbon emissions can influence each other. Owing to the importance of carbon emissions and their connection to fossil fuels, and the possibility of Granger (1980) causality in spot and futures prices, returns and volatility of carbon emissions, crude oil and coal have recently become very important research topics. For the USA, daily spot and futures prices are available for crude oil and coal, but there are no daily futures prices for carbon emissions. For the EU, there are no daily spot prices for coal or carbon emissions, but there are daily futures prices for crude oil, coal and carbon emissions. For this reason, daily prices will be used to analyse Granger causality and volatility spillovers in spot and futures prices of carbon emissions, crude oil, and coal. As the estimators are based on QMLE under the incorrect assumption of a normal distribution, we modify the likelihood ratio (LR) test to a quasi-likelihood ratio test (QLR) to test the multivariate conditional volatility Diagonal BEKK model, which estimates and tests volatility spillovers, and has valid regularity conditions and asymptotic properties, against the alternative Full BEKK model, which also estimates volatility spillovers, but has valid regularity conditions and asymptotic properties only under the null hypothesis of zero off-diagonal elements. Dynamic hedging strategies using optimal hedge ratios are suggested to analyse market fluctuations in the spot and futures returns and volatility of carbon emissions, crude oil and coal prices.

Minimum Lagrange multiplier (LM) unit root tests have two kinds, one is endogenous structural break with one and the other is two endogenous structural breaks proposed by Lee and Strazicich (2003) and Lee and Strazicich (2004), respectively. The research period concerned Brent and West Texas intermediate crude oil spot and futures prices from January 1995 to December 2010. The investigation adopted both approaches to estimate the possible trends, potential break points, as well as the stationarity of the spot and futures crude oil prices. In addition, the study considered different horizon and frequency characteristics of the data to examine whether there resulted in different situations. Moreover, we further utilize the concept of structural breaks to forecast the crude oil price. Under different kinds of data horizons, the empirical result indicated the eight crude oil prices series cannot be rejected the unit root hull hypothesis, and implying that even taking the structural breaks into consideration which still could not explain the stationary of the series. Consistent with the Maslyuk and Smyth (2008), the crude oil prices move as random walk process. No matter in one or two breaks models, the findings all pose significant time trends. The possible reason is the time trend has already altered, and the international specific events can explain this kind of change. Finally, we further employ weekly data to test WTI crude oil prices in ex-ante 2007 period, and the numerical result reveals that the oil prices are trend stationary. In the forecasting aspects, the study applied autoregressive models with one lag perform a satisfactory job than Random Walk in terms of forecasting accuracy.

Based on the futures price discovery function ,we want to understand the relationship between the market information of futures and future trend of spot price. This study selects the West Texas intermediate crude oil as a sample. We organize the direction variables and the implied energy variables by the basis and open interest to study their influences on the future direction of future spot price movements by the logistic regression model. The selection period was from 2th of January 2009 to 12th of August 2012. The empirical analysis of this study revealed the following: (1) For studying the problem about the relationship of the market information of futures and future direction of future spot price movement, considering the momentum concept and average absolute value of basis are necessary. (2) Open interest can strengthen the effects of directional variables. (3) The future price discovery function caused by the direction variable only occurred when the implied energy variables are large enough.

This study took four variables which are the Baltic capsize index, the BRENT crude oil price, the iron ore spot price, and the global steel price index as our study object. The period is from week 1, 2014 to week 19, 2018 with 228 weekly data. Using ADF and PP unit root tests, Johansen co-integration test, Vector error correction model, Granger causality test, impulse response function, Variance decomposition to verify the relationship among all variables. Johansen co-integration test result found that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship among the variables. In short-term dynamic relationship verification, Vector error correction model results showed that the Baltic capsize index be affected by the BRENT crude oil price’s previous period. The iron ore spot price CME will be affected by its own previous period. Brent crude oil price be affected by the global steel price index’s previous period. Granger causality test results obtained the Brent crude oil price has one-way positive leading relationship to the Baltic capsize index. The steel price index has one-way positive leading relationship to the Brent crude oil price and the iron ore spot price. The error variability decomposition analysis found the Balti capsize index and the Brent crude oil price are exogenous explanatory variables, the iron ore spot price and the global steel price index are endogenous explanatory variables. Keywords: Balti Capsize Index, Granger causality test, Johansen Co-integration test, Vector error correction model

How to reduce portfolio risk an very important issue based on diversification of investment products. A highly relationship was shown on futures and spot market, so making use of futures contracts to avoid the spot market changes in price shocks has become the key to investors to maintain the profit and loss. The study is to compute Value-at-Risk in the long trading position for the minimum variance hedging portfolio by using GARCH(1,1) model, bivariate GARCH (1,1) model and bivariate ARJI-GARCH(1,1) model at two significant levels. The sample daily data is Brent crude oil closing price in spot and furtures market. Moreover, the study is to evaluate the different models by using backtesting method based on likelihood ratio test proposed by Kupiec (1995) and Christoffersen(1998). The study showed that the bivariate ARJI-GARCH (1,1) model at the significance level of 5% and 1% are statistically significant, indicating that the bivariate ARJI-GARCH(1,1) model can accurately describe the discontinuous characteristics of the fat tail and price. This result can provide valuable information for financial institutions to assess the portfolio risk. It improves the estimated performace under the tail distribution and further forecast the financial asset return volatility, fat tail, and the discontinuous price.

International crude oil prices of volatility severely make investors bear huge loss in recent years. Thus, crude oil futures become one of financial instruments of hedge. The crude oil prices bring out discontinuous phenomena, because of the rare events. In this study, it estimates the conditional value-at-risk of the minimum variance hedging portfolio by using the bivariate CBP-GARCH model proposed by Chan(2003). Moreover, this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the bivariate CBP-GARCH model by using backtesting method based on likelihood ratio test proposed by Kupiec(1995) and conditional coverage test proposed by Christoffersen(1998).The empirical results are as follows. The conditional value-at-risk model of the minimum variance hedging portfolio by using the bivariate CBP-GARCH model passes the backtesting; however, the conditional value-at-risk model of the minimum variance hedging portfolio by using non-hedge model and the bivariate DCC-GARCH model do not pass. The conditional value-at-risk model of the minimum variance hedging portfolio by using the bivariate CBP-GARCH model has high accuracy; it is because that it can capture dynamic jump process and jump correlation. Therefore, if we just consider the dynamic volatility process, it could underestimate risk and let investors bear the loss than expected. This result can be used as a hedge reference for investors.

This study implements the lean and six-sigma DMAIC management tool to analyze and improve the loose problem of spot welding of auto cross member and the oil tank. In welding machine configuration, electric current, machine pressure, and welding time are critical factors of spot welding. The final welded part is verified by destructive tests to see if it conforms to the specification or standard. The auto cross member and the oil tank parts directly involve human safety and are considered the safety parts by auto manufacturer. If loose welding problem happens and causes injury or casualty of passengers, the manufacturer would face strong pressure for a recall. It not only harms manufacturer’s reputation, but the manufacturer may also incur huge liability for damages. Therefore, almost all auto manufacturers put high emphasis on the safety parts. The quality of spot welding of #3 cross member and the oil tank of certain auto type is studied. By the design of experiment, the optimal configuration is achieved to reduce the loose problem of spot welding.
