Studying “fitness for service” of the sealing assemblies and cement system
(2018-05)
Well integrity is a crucial phase of well design and construction, as such multiple barriers are usually installed in wells to prevent any migration of formation fluids. One of these barriers include the elastomeric sealing ...
MACHINE LEARNING AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SEISMIC ATTRIBUTE-SEISMIC FACIES ANALYSIS DATA BASE
(2018-08-02)
Currently, seismic facies and structural analysis requires a significant amount of time and effort by skilled interpreters. With the advances made by companies such as Amazon and Google with AI (artificial intelligence) ...
3D QUANTITATIVE SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF JURASSIC CARBONATE STRATA ON THE ARABIAN PLATFORM
(2018-12)
Quantitative seismic stratigraphy of a 3D seismic volume of the Arabian platform provides critical information on the heterogeneity of reservoir quality of a productive Jurassic carbonate grainstone. The Vail method of ...
A 16-Year Observational Analysis of Land-Atmosphere Coupling in Oklahoma Using Mesonet and North American Regional Reanalysis Data
(2018-08)
Global “hot spots” for land atmosphere coupling have been identified through various studies. One particular region that has been identified in many of these global studies is the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of North ...
Blood Damage Analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics of Blood Flow through a Functioning and Malfunctioning Bileaflet Artificial Heart Valve
(2018-08)
Artificial heart valves are an invaluable tool to treat heart defects and diseases. However, these prosthetic devices may expose the blood to turbulent flow conditions leading to unnaturally high stress that can damage ...
Developing Affordable Smart Solutions for Police Reporting
(2018-08-02)
Due to the high costs of many eCitation systems currently on the market, many
police agencies are still using pen and paper to fill out their citations. This traditional
citation method may be cost effective. However, ...
Piano Concerto No. 1, "Concert of Sages"
(2018-12-14)
Concert of Sages comes out of the duality of my being a composer and a pianist, and my desire to express this duality. As the orchestra is a prime test of a composers’ mettle, a concerto is a prime test of a concert ...
EVALUATING DESERT SILT PRODUCTION USING FIELD, EXPERIMENTAL, AND REMOTE-SENSING METHODS
(2018-05)
Production of the silt that forms loess deposits has been attributed to processes operating in both glacial environments (via glacial grinding) and warm deserts (via saltation-induced fracturing). However, the efficacy of ...
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(2018)
Understanding the behavior of water in oil emulsions can prevent flow assurance problems and the conditions at which these two fluids can mix. The stability and rheology of water in crude oil emulsions was studied for three ...
A Microphysical Analysis of the Stratiform Rain Region of Mesoscale Convective Systems using Polarimetric Radar and In Situ Aircraft Measurements
(2018-12-14)
The benefits of using polarimetric weather radar data to infer microphysical properties of and processes within observed precipitation is becoming more widely recognized. The quasi-vertical profile (QVP) technique has ...
