Permo-Carboniferous oil deposit of the Usinskoye field is characterized by an extremely complex type void space with intense cross-sectional distribution cavernous and fractured rock. In this study, for production site, process 3D geological modeling has been implemented. At first stage, it provided automated identification reservoir volumes comparing data core well logging surveys; at second r...

This paper presents a triple-continuum conceptual model for simulating flow and transport processes in fractured rock. Field data collected from the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, a repository site of high-level nuclear waste, show a large number of small-scale fractures. The effect of these small fractures has not been considered in previous modeling investigations within the context of a...

in this paper, we present an application of the stochastic calculusto the problem of modeling electrical networks. the filtering problem have animportant role in the theory of stochastic differential equations(sdes). in thisarticle, we present an application of the continuous kalman-bucy filter for a rlcircuit. the deterministic model of the circuit is replaced by a stochastic model byadding a ...

Felsic magma commonly pools within shallow mushroom-shaped magmatic intrusions, so-called laccoliths or cryptodomes, which can cause both explosive eruptions and collapse of the volcanic edifice. Deformation during laccolith emplacement is primarily considered to occur in the host rock. However, shallowly emplaced laccoliths (cryptodomes) show extensive internal deformation. While deformation o...

The rapid growth in natural gas consumption has increased the need for gas storage, in particular in the form of injection into depleted reservoirs. Also, CO2 sequestration into the depleted reservoirs has attracted a large attention recently. However, it is important to ensure that the injection pressure is maintained below a certain limit to avoid unsealing the cap rock or reactivation of any...

The fracture mechanics examines the development and expansion of cracks in solids and how they affect the deformation of materials. The stress intensity factors at the tip of the crack and the critical stress intensity factors or fracture toughness of materials are considered in the relevant criteria. There are three main modes of applying forces to a crack including the tensile mode, shear mod...

Current methods of oil and gas field development design rely on reservoir simulation modeling. A model is a tool to reproduce processes forecast production data. Reservoir permeability one the basic properties that determines fluid flow. From existing approaches, porosity values should be consistent with petrophysical correlations obtained from core sample tests in course an absolute cube model...

This paper describes the interim results of a study to characterize discontinuous rock masses using 3D laser scanning data. One of the main advantages of this method is that now an unbiased, rapid and accurate discontinuity analysis can be done. With 3D laser scanning it is now also possible to measure rock faces whose access is restricted or rock slopes along highways or railway lines where wo...

Plain concrete structures such as dams or retaining walls, as well as rock structures such as tunnels, caverns, excavations, and rock slopes, have commonly been designed by elastic-perfectly plastic analysis in which the tensile yield strength of the material is taken as zero. The paper analyzes the safety of this "notension" design in the light of the finiteness of the tensile strength of conc...
