Paleocurrents in Subsurface Geologic Studies

Pore-Space Alteration Induced by Brine Acidification in Subsurface Geologic Formations

Geologic storage of radioactive waste: field studies in Sweden.

Access to a granitic rock mass in an iron ore mine in Sweden provided a unique opportunity for underground experiments related to the geologic disposal of radioactive waste. These field tests demonstrated the importance of hydrogeology and the difficulties in predicting the thermomechanical behavior of fractured granitic rocks. To characterize a site fully, measurements made from the surface mu...

Role of fluid and melt inclusion studies in geologic research

Although fluid inclusions were apparently known to early naturalists, actual research on fluid and melt inclusions began only in the mid-1800s and grew very slowly for the next 100 years. Russian scientists began systematic studies of inclusions in the 1930s, but it was not until about 1960 that publications mentioning or using fluid inclusions began to increase from a few each year to the pres...

SPE 114099 The Effect of Geologic Parameters and Uncertainties on Subsurface Flow: Deepwater Depositional Systems

The application of reservoir simulation as a tool for reservoir development and management is widespread in the oil and gas industry. Moreover, it is recognized that the results of any reservoir simulation model are strongly influenced by the underlying geologic model. However, the direct relationship between geologic parameters and subsurface flow is obscure. In this paper we explore this rela...

Surface and subsurface geologic risk factors to ground water affecting brownfield redevelopment potential.

A model is created for assessing the redevelopment potential of brownfields. The model is derived from a space and time conceptual framework that identifies and measures the surface and subsurface risk factors present at brownfield sites. The model then combines these factors with a contamination extent multiplier at each site to create an index of redevelopment potential. Results from the appl...
