NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE EFFECTS OF RESERVOIR HETEROGENEITY, FRACTURES, AND MULTI-WELL INTERFERENCE ON PRESSURE TRANSIENT RESPONSES USING MULTISTENCILS FAST MARCHING METHOD
(2017-08-28)Analysis of rate and pressure transient responses of a well in spatially heterogeneous reservoir cannot be performed using conventional well-test analytical equations. An accurate analysis of transient pressure/rate responses ... -
Numerical simulation of transient cuttings transport with foam in horizontal wells
(2013)The use of foam for underbalanced drilling applications is increasing significantly. This is because foam exhibits properties, which are desirable when drilling depleted and low-pressure wells. However, a good knowledge ... -
Numerical simulation study on CO2 injection for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery and sequestration in tight oil formations
(2014)Hydrocarbon resources from unconventional reservoirs, especially tight/shale plays, are changing the North America's energy prospect. Single digit percentage of oil shale recovery with current best practices, leaves a large ... -
numerical study on casing integrity during hydraulic fracturing shale formation
(2019)Due to complex sedimentation environment, shale formations are usually characterized as highly heterogeneous and anisotropic in in-situ stresses. The injection process for reservoir stimulation changes the local in-situ ... -
Nurturing as Safe Exploration Promotes the Evolution of Generalized Supervised Learning
(2017-08-01)The ability to learn is often a desirable property of intelligent systems which can make them more adaptive. However, it is difficult to develop sophisticated learning algorithms that are effective. One approach to the ... -
Objective Characterization of In-line Phase Contrast X-ray Imaging Prototype Using a Mid-energy Beam
(2019-08)The purpose of the research presented in this thesis is the characterization of an in-line phase contrast x-ray imaging prototype operating at mid-energy, and to compare the data to that of high energy imaging with the ... -
Observations and Simulations of a Multistatic Weather Radar Network
(2022-05)Multistatic radar architectures have the potential to provide a cost-effective source of 3D wind information from both operational and research radars, owing to a system design of one transmitter and several receivers. A ... -
Observations of Cold Front Features at High Spatiotemporal Resolution Using the Atmospheric Imaging Radar
(2016-08-12)Over the past 40+ years, cold front vertical structure has been studied for the purpose of increased understanding of convection initiation and aviation safety. Traditional scanning radars tend to not be well-suited for ... -
Observations of Mars analogous basalt in near saturated brines
(2020-05)The Mars 2020 rover and the ExoMars rover will include a Raman spectrometer as part of the suite of instruments onboard the rovers and will be the first times a Raman spectrometer will take direct measurements on the surface ... -
Observations of Tropical Cyclone Vortex Rossby Waves and Their Role in Inner Core Rainbands
(2016-08-12)Vortex Rossby Waves (VRWs) are hypothesized to exist in tropical cyclones (TCs), acting as an axisymmetrizing mechanism to the inner core TC flow and restored by the radial gradient of storm vorticity. In addition, they ... -
Observing system simulation experiment studies on the use of small UAV for boundary-layer sampling
(2018)A long-desired component to the U.S. operational observing systems is the capability to measure vertical profiles of wind, temperature and moisture in the lower troposphere at high spatial and temporal resolution. This ... -
Observing System Simulation Experiments on Assimilation of Multistatic Passive Radar Network Observations into the Warn-On Forecast System to Improve Short-Term Prediction of Thunderstorm Hazards
(2022-12-16)The Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) assimilates radar and satellite observations to produce initial conditions for short-term forecasts of individual convective storms. The accuracy of the WoFS analysis is a function of the ... -
Observing System Simulation Experiments Using Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Various Configurations to Improve High-Resolution Forecasts of Convection
(2021)There has been a lot of interest and development of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAVs) to obtain atmospheric measurements for research and operations. Some have proposed a 3D Mesonet concept to add vertical profiling ... -
OIL POTENTIAL OF THE ASQUITH MARKER, LEWIS SHALE, GREATER GREEN RIVER BASIN, WYOMING.
(2016-05-13)Large volumes of gas and some oil have been produced from the Cretaceous Lewis Shale, and it is often considered a regional source of gas in the Greater Green River Basin. However, the Lewis Shale has never been studied ... -
Oklahoma and World War I: Over Here and Over There
(2023-12-15)The State of Oklahoma, one of the United States’ newest states, entered the First World War, along with the rest of the nation in April 1917. This study elucidates the role of Oklahoma’s participation in the United States ... -
The Oklahoma Canon: A Need for Multicultural Literature in the ELA Classroom
(2020)This study examines the frequency with which Oklahoma English teachers include multicultural literature into their curriculum. In addition, this study explores teachers’ attitudes and beliefs toward multicultural literature, ... -
Oklahoma Earthquakes and Their Effects on Highway Bridges
(2017-05-13)Oklahoma is presently experiencing a higher rate of earthquake activity than historically observed. Historical data on earthquake-induced damage to Oklahoma bridges is limited, so the Oklahoma Department of Transportation ... -
