Use of Seismics for Lithology Characterization Aditya Chakravarty Abstract This paper studies the application of Rock Physics Models by using Seismic and Well log data to characterize the reservoir sedimentological parameters (viz. Porosity, sorting, cement content and fluid saturation). When properly constrained by local subsurface environment, rock physics models can be used to predict the reservoir quality away from wells. Various researchers have applied a combination of theoretical and heuristic

In the last three decades, micro-CT image-based technology has provided an alternative and non-destructive way to predict petrophysical properties in porous media in petroleum engineering. Coupling three dimensional high resolution images of a small rock fragment with proper modelling of fluid flow provides an excellent opportunity to compute flow and transport properties (Arns et al., 2001; Arns et al., 2004; Turner et al., 2004; Arns et al., 2005; Jin et al., 2007). Among multiphase flow properties

Heavy metals such as arsenic (metalloid), mercury, lead, and cadmium have a rich history throughout the world. From Ancient Rome to the Vietnamese War, heavy metals have been used in many different ways, sometimes leading people to death or illness. This research essay will go through the history of the above-mentioned metals, how they were used, and how they can affect people. Arsenic Among the first uses of arsenic in in 19th century was in taxidermy and painting (Cooksey 2012). Soon after

petroleum substances), a limitation of determination pertaining to quantities of asphalts and tars was noted. A discovery of a more effective route of determining individual properties within petroleum products was observed: the luminescence method (natural water and a UV light) (pp. 1122). I found the following study to be very useful in regards to further environmental planning, as well as a waste management reference for upcoming generations. However, I feel as if the article could have benefitted

ADVANTAGES AND SHORT COMINGS OF GAS VERSUS LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) CASE STUDY : USA PREPARE BY: OFOEGBU ROSEMARY. N INTRODUCTION Gas is a source of energy, which can generate combustion with the source of heat and oxygen, it is a consumable product and highly inflammable. It is a source of energy used in this modern society, it is widely use all over the word for different purposes. In this context, we take a look at the benefit of gas and liquefied natural gas, the effect as a primary source

The planning function consists of a number of different steps, including situational analysis, alternative goals and plans, goal and plan evaluation, goal and plan selection, implementation and monitoring/control. The situation at BP is that the company is working to shake off the effects of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. While that issue remains in litigation, the company is continuing onward with its operations, building out its revenues and exploration capacity. The company has remained consistently

The United States Geological Survey (USGS, n.d.) defines a sinkhole as "an area of ground that has no natural external surface drainage--when it rains, all of the water stays inside the sinkhole and typically drains into the subsurface." Sinkholes vary in size considerably: from a few feet in diameter and one foot of depth, to "hundreds of acres" wide and "more than 100 feet deep," (USGS, n.d.). Some sinkholes form naturally over time, but human intervention such as construction and development projects

1. What is the first priority of a petroleum engineer? (5 points) The first priority of a petroleum engineer is safety. 2. What are the 5 elements of a petroleum system labeled on the illustration above? Green indicates hydrocarbon fill and E refers to the anticlinal structure. (10 points) A. Top Seal Rock (impermeable shale) B. Reservoir Rock (Porous sandstone) C. Source Rock (Organic-Rich shale) D. Potential migration route (Non-sealing fault) E. Anticlinal Trap 3. Name

Fracking in North Dakota alone went from 4,600 to 6,600 wells just from 2009-2012. Due to the increase in wells, natural gas extraction went from 7.5 million to 16.9 million barrels of oil (Loris 2). This increase in the oil and gas industry also provides jobs in several fields such as geology, engineering, rig working, truck driving, pipe welding, and many more, which means that the US unemployment will go down as long as this economic boom keeps up. However, fracking provides more than just jobs;

Texas and Its Natural Resources The state of Texas is the second largest state in the United States. Due to its location and size, it covers different geographical areas and climates. These areas support different ecosystems from deserts to coastal wetlands, with local wildlife varying with the environment. With such varied climates and yearly rainfall, it is easy to have crops growing in the east and little rainfall and an open rocky desert with cacti in the west. The geological history is
