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 ...
Mechanisms and rates of strength recovery in laboratory fault zones.
(2001)
The results of this investigation may be applied to explain observations of rapid strengthening along large, active crustal fault zones such as parts of the San Andreas Fault system in California and the Nojima fault in ...
The geochemical budget of beryllium in silicic melts and superliquidus, subliquidus, and starting state effects on the kinetics of crystallization in hydrous haplogranite melts.
(2001)
1. An investigation of cordierite-beryl equilibria in hydrous granitic melts using forward- and reversed-direction experiments from 675 to 900° C at 200 MPa (PH2O) has revealed the elucidate limits and mechanisms of ...
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 ...
Widespread chemical remagnetization: Orogenic fluids or burial diagenesis of clays?
(1998)
The results of this study indicate that widespread or pervasive chemical remanent magnetizations (CRMs) can form as a consequence of the burial diagenetic conversion of smectite to illite. Paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, and ...
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 ...
