متن کاملConsolidation and Pore Fluid Pressure of Ursa Sediments, Deepwater Gulf
15 We conducted uniaxial compression tests on whole core samples from the Ursa 16 Basin, deepwater Gulf of Mexico, to obtain the consolidation properties of mudstones. 17 We showed that specific volume (v = 1+e) (where e is void ratio) declines as an 18 exponential function of effective stress and we used this relationship to successfully 19 predict in-situ pressure from void ratio at IODP Site...
متن کاملGeophysical and geochemical signatures of Gulf of Mexico seafloor brines
Geophysical, temperature, and discrete depthstratified geochemical data illustrate differences between an actively venting mud volcano and a relatively quiescent brine pool in the Gulf of Mexico along the continental slope. Geophysical data, including laser-line scan mosaics and subbottom profiles, document the dynamic nature of both environments. Temperature profiles, obtained by lowering a CT...
متن کاملSalt Mechanics Primer for Near-Salt and Sub-Salt Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Field Developments
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is the most active deepwater region in the world and provides some of the greatest challenges in scope and opportunity for the oil and gas industry. The complex geologic settings and significant water and reservoir depths necessitate high development costs, in addition to requiring innovating technology. The investment costs are substantial: because of the extreme water...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
