This study endeavor aims to provide a very detailed explanation of seismic reflection survey-based hydrocarbon exploration. The purpose the research is determine why some oil industry wells still remain dry after being drilled. Emphasis was placed on potential application innovative methods with goal developing novel response this trend. A more in-depth examination arguments for using technolog...

A set of methods are presented for the global survey of natural gas flaring using data collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NASA/NOAA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The accuracy of the flared gas volume estimates is rated at ̆9.5%. VIIRS is particularly well suited for detecting and measuring the radia...

In the present study, a heterogeneous and homogeneous gas flow dispersion model for simulation and optimization of a large-scale catalytic slurry reactor for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from synthesis gas (syngas) and CO2, using a churn-turbulent regime was developed. In the heterogeneous flow model, the gas phase was distributed into two bubble phases including small and large...

The impact of pressure regulator noise on the performance of ultrasonic meters has been discussed for several years now. This is one of the problems still to be solved in ultrasonic flow metering technology. Engineers have so far attempted to solve the problem by installing complex spatial pipe arrangements at high costs to reduce interfering noise levels. The issue has been examined systematic...

Marine seismic data from the Blake Outer Ridge offshore Florida show strong “bottom simulating reflections” (BSR) associated with methane hydrate occurence in deep marine sediments. We use a detailed amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis of these data to explore the validity of models which might explain the origin of the bottom simulating reflector. After careful preprocessing steps, we deter...
