Recent onshore New Jersey drilling (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 150X) provided excellent recovery of lower to middle Miocene sequences that we dated with Sr isotopic stratigraphy. Sequence boundaries correlate with deep-sea dO increases (inferred glacioeustatic lowerings), indicating a primary control by global sea-level change. Maryland Miocene outcrops appear to correlate with New Jersey seque...

This paper describes a new architecture for reasoning that combines case-based and model-based reasoning, referred to as knowledge intensive CBR (KiCBR). The case retrieval process is explained and compared through different reasoning approaches; plain CBR, and two forms of knowledgeintensive CBR. The mentioned methods are applied to problems in oil well drilling, a challenging domain. Knowledg...

In this paper we present DrillEdge a commercial and award winning software system that monitors oil-well drilling operations in order to reduce non-productive time (NPT). DrillEdge utilizes case-based reasoning with temporal representations on streaming real-time data, pattern matching and agent systems to predict problems and give advice on how to mitigate the problems. The methods utilized, t...

if solid wastes are not collected and disposed properly, can cause environmental pollution which affect human health, animals and plants. also aesthetic aspect of solid waste disposal is important. therefore proper management is necessary. this study was carried out for the identification and classification of solid waste produced by oil drilling company temporary camps based on rcra act and un...
