DATA-DRIVEN REAL-TIME GEOSTEERING USING SURFACE DRILLING DATA
(2019-12-13)
In this thesis I present a method for estimating lithology or deriving formation properties from real-time surface drilling data. This information can then be used to enhance real-time geosteering capabilities. Current ...
Shape Memory Polyurethane with Porous Architectures for Potential Applications in Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment
(2019-04-05)
Conventional endovascular embolization of intracranial (or brain) aneurysms using helical detachable platinum coils can be time-consuming and occasionally requires retreatment due to incomplete coil packing. These shortcomings ...
