Geologic Evaluation of Kirkuk Underground Storage Project

Geologic Storage of CO2

Dynamic imaging provides an effective way to integrate previous time-lapse data with current data in order to estimate a current model. We present two methods useful for continuous dynamic reservoir and subsurface monitoring. The first method is a stochastic method for the inversion of geophysical data. It uses the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) that we demonstrate using time-lapse surface seism...

Geologic Storage of CO2

Evaluation of Quantitative Impact of Watershed Management Projects on Underground water Level (Case Study: Jamab Project)

Performance and control are two important components in any executive activity and their purposes are to correct and improve the functions and reduce wasting resources for better productivity and adoption of appropriate techniques that ultimately lead to the development of programs. Therefore, the present study aimed to simulate underground water flow and investigate the effects of artificial ...

Environmental Assessment of Geologic Storage of Co

Efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change have led research and industry groups to explore ways of applying existing technologies and practices to the challenge of reducing CO2 emissions. The storage of CO2 in underground geologic reservoirs is one such idea that employs techniques developed for oil and gas production and transmission. For example, CO2 has been injected into petroleum r...

Geologic Exploration and Risk Reduction in Underground Construction

Geologic uncertainty in underground construction promotes design and construction conservatism and has a significant effect on project cost. Site investigation can reduce this uncertainty and decrease costs by reducing the contingency amounts included in bids. This paper presents research findings that provide a better understanding of how subsurface exploration and improved contractual risk sh...
