INTERPRETATION OF GALVANIC RESISTIVITY, ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION, AND DIELECTRIC DISPERSION LOGS TO ESTIMATE WATER SATURATION IN ORGANIC RICH SHALE
(2018-12)Water saturation estimation based on electrical and electromagnetic logs in organic-rich shale reservoirs is challenging due to effects of clay and conductive minerals. Presence of nanopores, low porosity, interfacial ... -
INTERPRETATION OF INTER-WELL CHEMICAL TRACER TEST
(2017)For the first time, this thesis presents a new approach to characterize reservoir layering and cross flow between layers using Inter-Well Chemical Tracer Test (ICTT). ICTT is a well-known reliable test for reservoir ... -
Interpretational variations of seismic attribute analysis as compared within the time and depth domains
(2022)Migration is one of the crucial data processing steps re-locating the recorded seismic events to their true locations, suppressing the diffractions and thus, providing more accurate imaging of the subsurface. It can be ... -
Interpreting climatic change during the Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene in Oklahoma based on the stable isotope and amino acid composition of fossil bison bones
The stable isotope values from both the orgamc (collagen, δ13C, δ15N) and inorganic (hydroxyapatite, δ13C, δ18O) components within fossil bison bones and teeth were used to determine climatic shifts in Oklahoma during the ... -
Interpreting Land-Use During the Late Paleoindian Bull Creek Occupation on the Southern Plains
(2021-05-14)The Bull Creek late Paleoindian archaeological site (34BV176), located along a tributary of the Beaver River in the Oklahoma Panhandle, is among the few known earliest human occupation sites on the Southern Plains. Located ... -
INTERRELATING PRODUCTION ANALYSIS WITH PORE SCALE STRUCTURE IN THE BAKKEN RESERVOIR
(2016)Improving well performance and associated project economics in oil resource plays rely on developing reservoir characterization capabilities. The need for understanding pore-scale geometry in low porosity low permeability ... -
The Intersection of Gender and Land in Post-Genocide Rwanda: Land Tenure Regularization and its Impact on Women
(2016)Following the violent and destructive genocide of 1994, Rwandan women were especially vulnerable because social and legal barriers kept them from accessing resources that were already scarce. The government of Rwanda, ... -
The Intersection of Radar and Communications: A Study on Spectrum Management for Addressing RF Interference
(2023-05-12)The radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a fruitful yet competitive frontier that enables technologies like 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, long-range telescopes, microwave ovens, radar, and more. With finite supply and increasing ... -
The Intersection of Wind Energy and Wildlife management: A Case Study of Prairie-Chickens and Wind Turbine Site Selection in Oklahoma
(2018-12)The demand for alternatives to fossil fuels has increased over the past couple of years, so it is becoming increasingly important to find alternative energy sources. While wind energy represents one potential alternative ... -
INTIMATE VIOLENCES: MAPPING, AWARENESS, AND PREVENTION IN OKLAHOMA
(2017-05-12)One in three women and one in four men experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime. The Centers for Disease Control (2010) reports that 47 percent of women first experience IPV during ages 18-24 and that ... -
Intraoperative Virtual Surgical Planning Through Medical Mixed Reality
(2021)The mission is to augment every surgery. Compared to a pilot flying a plane or even a regular google-map user on his way to work/home, surgeons today have their instruments clustered behind them hanging in the wall. The ... -
Inventory Scheduling Framework to Fulfill Multi-Product Orders within an Interconnected Production Network
(2021-05)Production facilities are critical components of the global economy and supply chain. Firms are forced to balance several competing objectives—from reducing operating costs by managing inventory to increasing profits by ... -
Investigating Arctic Cyclone-Tropopause Polar Vortex Interactions with Observing System Simulation Experiments
(2023-05-12)Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are upper-level cyclonic circulations that are common in high latitudes. TPVs most directly impact weather at the surface by providing baroclinic forcing for the development of Arctic ... -
INVESTIGATING MICROSTRUCTURAL HETEROGENEITY IN ORGANIC SHALE VIA LARGE-SCALE, HIGH RESOLUTION SEM IMAGING
(2017)The physical properties of shale are fundamentally controlled by its microstructure; however, shale is problematic due to microstructural heterogeneity that can exist across multiple scales. This creates difficulty in ... -
Investigating Mound Activities at Mississippian Sites in the Southeast: A Spatial Analysis of Lithic Debitage at the Pevey Site (22LW510) in Mississippi
(2017)The Pevey site on the Pearl River in Mississippi is a large, multi-mound site from the Mississippi Period (1200-1600 A.D.). Relatively unstudied compared to other large mound sites in the Southeast, Pevey’s distinctive ... -
Investigating technologies and techniques for flood monitoring and detecting
(2022-08-04)The need for a flood alerting and forecasting system is becoming ever more critical, especially given the effects of increasing severe weather over the last ten years. Flash floods, particularly, are deadly because of the ... -
Investigating The Impact of Data Visualization Based On Real Time Construction Project Information
(2016)Managing construction projects is a complex operation. Multiple activities are executed at the same time, and numerous variables impact building development. Therefore, construction professionals need access to worksite ... -
Investigating the potential of synthetic data for enabling AI-based zero-touch network automation
(2021)The essence and importance of rich and relevant data can not be overemphasized in the field of artificial intelligence. From machine learning to deep learning models, the performance of a model is majorly dependent on the ... -
