Performance Model for Vertical Wells with Multi-stage Horizontal Hydraulic Fractures in Water Flooded Multilayer Reservoirs

For the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...

A resolution comparison of horizontal and vertical magnetic transfer functions

The main goal of the present study is to identify characteristics of the inter-station horizontal magnetic responses and the vertical magnetic data, as two types of magnetotelluric transfer functions, in the modeling procedure. Through consideration of model responses and two-dimensional inversion of synthetic data, sensitivity of the data components in detecting different geophysical structure...

A simple model of the vertical–horizontal illusion

In spite of being one of the most elementary visual effects, the vertical-horizontal illusion is still poorly understood. We provide here a simple quantitative model to describe the overestimation of the vertical segment relative to the horizontal one. The model also includes a necessary factor related to the effect of bisecting a line on the under-estimation of its length. These two factors, o...

fourier migration for vertical velocity variations

the stolt (f-k) migration algorithm is a direct (i.e. non-recursive) fourier-domain technique based on a change of variables (or equivalently, a mapping) that converts the input spectrum to the output spectrum. the algorithm is simple and efficient but limited to constant velocity. a v(z)(f-k) migration method, capable of very high accuracy for vertical variations of velocity, can be formulated...
