Case studies in causal inference and anomaly detection
(2020-12-18)The study of parent-child well interactions in unconventional shales has generated high interest both in the industry and academia over the last decade. This is largely because of the growing number of child wells and their ... -
Case Study: Integrated Core Modeling and Simulation of Unconventional Hydraulically Fractured Wells in the Delaware Basin
(2020-07-30)The Early Paleozoic Wolfcamp formation is one of the main unconventional reservoirs in the Delaware Basin, and highly targeted by U.S. companies. Innovative completion techniques and representative core analysis have ... -
CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF FURFURAL TO MORE UPGRADABLE PRODUCTS OVER BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYST
(2017)Furanics are produced in high abundance from the decomposition of biomass. The thermal and chemical instability of these species leads to the formation of humins upon condensation. The ring rearrangement of furfural via ... -
Catalytic dehydration of poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) with heterogeneous acid catalysts
(2023)This study investigates the role of acid site density, pore size, and solvent selection in the catalytic dehydration of Poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (EVOH) using zeolite catalysts. The first set of experiments ... -
CATALYTIC UPGRADING OF SUGAR DERIVATIVES
(2016-08-12)With industrial revolution there has been a huge increase in demand for petroleum-based fuel. Detrimental effects on environment due to unprecedented use of fossil fuels and shortage in its availability has spurred the ... -
Catastrophic Process Event Stratigraphy of the Rader Member in the Delaware Basin
(2018-12-14)The Bell Canyon Formation, Middle Rader Member, debrite crops out in Guadalupe Mountains (along Highway 62, McKittrick Canyon and vicinity) revealing a Late Guadalupian catastrophic submarine debris slide. The formation ... -
Catching Up With Cabaret: Finding Deeper Meaning in a Never-Ending Adaptation
(2022-05-13)Cabaret, a 1966 Broadway musical with book by Joe Masteroff and music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and the 1972 film of the same name, directed by Bob Fosse, have been subjects of considerable scholarly research ... -
Cell Wall Alterations During Lateral Root Emergence in Oryza Sativa
(2016)In rice seedlings, lateral roots (LRs) develop through several layers of extant tissues, including multiple cortex cell layers, as well as single files of sclerenchyma, exodermis, and epidermal cells. In contrast to typical ... -
A Ceramic Analysis of a Caddo Village Site in the Northern Caddo Frontier: An Archaeological Investigation of the School Land I Site (34DL64) in Delaware County, Oklahoma
(2023-12-15)School Land I was a Spiroan Caddo village site positioned near the northern periphery of the Caddo cultural area in present-day northeast Oklahoma. This site was excavated in 1939 and 1940 as a salvage attempt to gather ... -
CFD Analysis of Power-Law Fluid in a Partially Blocked Eccentric Annulus Under Turbulent Flow Conditions
(2019-12)An increase in hydrocarbon production by the application of several laterals from a single vertical wellbore is now a widespread practice. Horizontal and inclined wells are drilled at record lengths, which once seemed ... -
Characteristics and Lifecycles of Anticyclonic Tropopause Polar Vortices
(2023-05-12)Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are sub-synoptic, long-lived, closed circulation features located in the upper-troposphere and lower-stratosphere region. Although TPV circulations can be cyclonic or anticyclonic, most ... -
Characteristics of the 2011-2016 California Drought
(2017-05-13)The recent California drought persisted for five years from 2011-2016 and was the worst drought in recent memory. Previous studies have established that this drought was marked by low but not unprecedented rainfall coupled ... -
Characteristics of Tropopause Polar Vortices Based on Observations Over The Greenland Ice Sheet
(2018-12-14)Tropopause Polar Vortices (TPVs) are long-lived, coherent vortices that are identified by closed material contours of potential temperature on the dynamic tropopause. They are characterized by PV anomalies that spend most ... -
Characterization and origin of fracture patterns in the Woodford Shale in southeastern Oklahoma for application to exploration and development /
(2009.)The Woodford Shale is an important unconventional gas shale in Oklahoma. Production is by artifical fracturing of naturally fractured or unfractured rock. Therefore, understanding natural fracture networks in the Woodford ... -
Characterization of 802.11ad Under Various Channel Conditions
(2020-12-18)The latest Wi-Fi standard, IEEE 802.11ad, offers the most open and uncongested radio spectrum for wireless communication on the market today. The standard’s capacity has maximum utility in locations with dense network ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF FUNGAL CONTAMINANTS IN B20 BIODIESEL STORAGE TANKS AND THEIR EFFECT ON FUEL COMPOSITION
(2016-08)The liquid transportation fuel B20 biodiesel is an 80:20 blend of petroleum-derived ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and biodiesel. Although B20 biodiesel represents a fungible fuel with a reduced carbon footprint compared ... -
Characterization of Gas Permeation in Polymeric Membrane
(2017)Polymers have been widely used in various industries in recent decades. One of the functions of polymers is to be employed as barriers against gas permeation. In this research, characterization of permeation in polymeric ... -
