Dual-porosity approach to wellbore stability in naturally fractured reservoirs.
(2002)The naturally fractured reservoir was treated as a dual-porosity medium consisting of the primary rock matrix system and the fractured system. Assuming the matrix and fractures in the fractured medium to be 'separate and ... -
Ensemble Kalman filter assimilation of Doppler radar data for the initialization and prediction of convective storms.
(2006)Finally, the EnSRF is applied to the May 29-30, 2004 central Oklahoma tornadic thunderstorm case. The initial storm environment is either horizontally homogeneous as defined by a single sounding or is three dimensional as ... -
A fully-coupled two-phase flow and rock deformation model for reservoir rock.
(1997)In the application of most of the reservoir rock models to real engineering problems, the role of reservoir rock is frequently limited to its storage and delivery capabilities; the interaction of fluid flow with rock ... -
A geotechniques-based exploratory investigation of vog impacts to the environmental system on Hawai'i island.
(2001)Hawai'i Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and surrounding regions on Hawai'i Hawai'i Island were chosen for the research site because the basaltic volcanism taking place is significant, and relevant data concerning many ... -
Laboratory and model prediction of rutting in asphalt concrete.
(2003)Rutting is one of the major distresses of flexible pavement. It is defined as the formation of longitudinal depressions under the wheel paths caused by the progressive movement of materials under traffic loading in the ... -
Lithofacies module methodology for characterizing and modeling clastic hydrocarbon reservoirs.
(1997)The geological framework and concept used in building the reservoir model determine the distribution of reservoir properties that control fluid flow. Reservoir simulation studies at the Gypsy outcrop site show different ... -
Retrieval of moisture from GPS slant-path water vapor observations using 3DVAR and its impact on the prediction of convection initiation and precipitation.
(2007)The anisotropic explicit filter is computationally expensive in both CPU time and memory usage. Therefore the implicit recursive filter which is computationally much more efficient is implemented in our 3DVAR system, even ... -
Spectral analyses of the dual polarization Doppler weather radar data.
(2007)Echoes in clear air from biological scatterers mixed within the resolution volumes over a large region are presented. These echoes were observed with the polarimetric prototype of the forthcoming WSR-88D weather radar. The ... -
Three-dimensional finite element modeling of two-phase fluid flow in deformable naturally fractured reservoirs.
(1998)The developed theoretical formulation and numerical model are validated against several cases where the analytical solutions or other model results are readily available. The performance of the numerical code is tested ... -
UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTAL DRIVE MECHANISMS FOR HUFF-N-PUFF ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY IN TIGHT FORMATIONS
(2019-12-13)Unconventional oil and gas resources have recently become the major source of produced hydrocarbons in the US. The change in the energy landscape follows nearly two decades of technological breakthroughs including horizontal ...
