As an option to improve the ultimate oil recovery factor of Rang Dong field, a feasibility study gas-assisted gravity drainage (GAGD) application was carried out for fractured basement reservoir with single-well Huff ‘n’ Puff pilot test applied on high water-cut producer. This paper aims provide in-depth understanding about such case study, which includes details candidate selection, gas inject...

We develop a model for the propagation of a fluid-filled crack in a porous medium. The problem is motivated by the mechanism whereby drainage networks may form in partially molten rock below the Earth‘s lithosphere. Other applications include the propagation of hydraulic fractures in jointed rocks and in oil drilling operations, and the formation of dessication cracks in soils. Motivated by the...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Patients with symptomatic malignant pleural effusion are usually treated with large-bore chest tube placement and pleurodesis requiring > or = 3 days of hospitalization. We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of ambulatory drainage and sclerosis using a small-bore pigtail catheter in patients with malignant pleural effusions. We reasoned that this approach would improve sympto...

precise geoid determination on islands suffers from the lack of accurate gravity data on the open seas. nowadays, sub-microgal accuracy for the land gravity observations is obtainable. but the sea gravity data which are collected via shipborne techniques, due to the measuring environment at sea area, are usually highly noisy and are contaminated with various systematic errors. on the other hand...

Compensating for intraoperative brain shift using computational models has been used with promising results. Since computational time is an important factor during neurosurgery, a prior knowledge of a patient's orientation and changes in tissue buoyancy force would be valuable information to aid in predicting shift due to gravitational forces. Since the latter is difficult to quantify intraoper...

the asymptotically ads solutions of the einstein gravity with hyperbolic horizons in the presence of so(n(n-1)/2- 1,1) yang-mills fields governed by the non-abelian born-infeld lagrangian are presented. we investigate the properties of these solutions as well as their asymptotic behavior in various dimensions. the properties of these kinds of solutions are like the einstein-yang-mills solutions...

This paper presents a numerical model based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), developed for studying dynamic responses of an unsaturated porous medium to periodic imbibition and drainage induced by a cyclic water table movement. The model includes gravity which helps defining an hydraulic head. The model predicted an incremental increase of the overall water content in the medium over each...
