The gas-assisted gravity drainage (GAGD) process is designed and practiced based on gravity drainage idea and uses the advantage of density difference between injected CO2 and reservoir oil. In this work, one of Iran western oilfields was selected as a case study and a sector model was simulated based on its rock and fluid properties. The pressure of CO2 gas injection was close to the MMP of th...

In this contribution we study the statistical properties of a number of closed-loop identiication methods and parameterizations. A focus will be on asymptotic variance expressions for these methods. By studying the asymptotic variance for the parameter vector estimates we show that indirect methods fail to give better accuracy than the direct method. Some new results for bias distribution in cl...

We discuss relations between gravity and gauge theory tree amplitudes that follow from string theory. Together with D-dimensional unitarity, these relations can be used to perturbatively quantize gravity theories, i.e. they contain the necessary information for calculating complete gravity S-matrices to any loop orders. This leads to a practical method for computing non-trivial gravity S-matrix...

We have developed a method for three-dimensional simultaneous velocity and density inversion using traveltimes of local earthquakes and gravity data. The purpose of this method is to constrain the velocity inversion and increase the spatial resolution of shallow velocity structures by introducing additional gravity data. The gravity data contributes to the Pand S-wave velocity models by imposin...

There are a number of ongoing developments in the 4D gravity method for time-lapse production and sequestration problems. Complex model construction is an essential component for meaningful feasibility studies and data interpretation in 4D. In the case of oil reservoirs, for example, the 4D gravity method must deal with very small density contrasts at depth, and overly simplistic model represen...

Introduction: Understanding the lunar gravity field can provide fundamental information about lunar internal structure, bulk composition, heat flow, and the duration of volcanism and tectonism. We aim to utilize the gravity field from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to reconstruct the history of lunar volcanic history. The high-resolution GRAIL gravity maps show tha...

Gravity surveys are an important research topic in geophysics and geodynamics. This paper investigates a method for high accuracy large scale gravity anomaly data reconstruction. Based on the airborne gravimetry technology, a flight test was carried out in China with the strap-down airborne gravimeter (SGA-WZ) developed by the Laboratory of Inertial Technology of the National University of Defe...

Linear anomalies are important in the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data because they indicate some important structural features. In this study, a method is proposed to extract lineaments which may be difficult to recognize. It is based on the convolution between the templates obtained from the second horizontal derivative of the theoretical anomaly due to a truncated horizontal plate...

The present work addresses the various ingredients required for reliable finite element simulations of cold isostatic pressing (CIP) of metal powders. A plastic constitutive model for finite deformation is presented and implemented into an explicit finite element (FE) code. The FE implementation is verified so that numerical errors (both temporal and spatial errors) are kept under control. Ther...
