Physico-chemical behaviors of shale/fluid/solute interaction in geo-environmental and geo-engineering applications.
(2007)
This dissertation examines the rich and complex physical-mechanical behaviors exhibited by shales when exposed to differing solutions over time, temperature, chemical, and stress conditions. Using several unique experimental ...
Mathematical modeling and ultrasonic measurement of shale anisotropy and a comparison of upscaling methods from sonic to seismic.
(2007)
The theoretical understanding of the effective media modeling is used to model Barnett Shale, which is one of the largest natural gas plays in the World. After the estimation of mineralogical assemblage using FTIR- and XRD ...
Calcite-water reaction rates at reservoir conditions.
(2002)
A numerical model was developed for predicting calcite scale precipitation in near-wellbore regions during water flooding and petroleum recovery operations. Rate equations based on the experimental studies were used to ...
Magnetic minerals: Understanding the processes of formation in soils and clays and identifying their presence in the rock record.
(2001)
This work presents results of biological formation of magnetite under a variety of laboratory conditions in a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil profile. Magnetite was formed only in biological samples but not in the abiotic: ...
