The formation resistivity factor evaluation of brine-filled reservoir rock is an essential part of electrical resistivity log interpretation in petroleum exploration. Empirical relations such as Archie’s law are widely employed to model the relationship between the formation resistivity factor and porosity. Historically, the Archie cementation exponent has been obtained from experimental labora...

We consider the problem of derandomizing random walks in the Euclidean space R. We show that for k = 2, and in some cases in higher dimensions, such walks can be simulated in Logspace using only poly-logarithmically many truly random bits. As a corollary, we show that the random walk can be deterministically simulated in space O(logn √ log log n), where 1/n is the desired precision of the simul...

Stereo-correspondence is the most important issue in stereopsis. Feature extraction and matching are the basic steps involved in the solution of stereocorrespondence problem. This work examines the effectiveness of Gabor Logons as pre-processing technique compared to intensity image. The matching is performed using Hopfield network and Simulated Annealing. Performance of these matching techniqu...

Polycrystalline materials are generally thought to have grain size distributions that correspond to log-normal. Statistical volume elements can use such geometric shape distributions to simulate single-phase polycrystals. When the log-normal distribution is used for grain size, however, it can give rise to nonphysical large grains that cannot be practically accommodated in finite simulation vol...

Wall-to-bed (or wall-to-fluid) heat transfer issues in trickle bed reactors (TBR) has an important impact on operation and efficiency in this category of reactors. In this study, the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of trickle bed reactors was simulated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. The multiphase behavior of trickle bed reactor was studied by the implementation of ...

Abstract This paper presents a well test interpretation methodology using characteristic points and lines found on the pressure derivative versus time log–log plot for characterization of finite-conductivity fractured vertical hydrocarbon in double-porosity (heterogeneous) formation considering new practical analytical Laplacian model which require less computational have more accuracy than sem...

Well logs are principal sources of subsurface geological information. They provide significant information on mineralogical composition, texture, sedimentary structures and petrophysical properties such as porosity and permeability. By compiling data from various well logs, one can discriminate sedimentary units with comparable log characteristics. Sedimentary units with similar fluid flow and ...

A numerical model is developed to study reactive transport at pore scale. It couples lattice Boltzmann and finite volume methods to compute fluid flow and reaction processes. The model is validated by comparing numerically simulated reactive flow against the published results of dynamic imaging of carbonate dissolution. The porosity profiles and permeability-porosity relationship are compared w...
