Numerical modelling is an important key for the management and remediation of groundwater resources. As opposed to surface water and to highly karstic geologies, groundwater does not flow in well-identified open streams but is like water flowing in the voids of a sponge. Several field experiments show that the natural geological formations are highly heterogeneous, leading to preferential flow ...

Natural resource studies have dwindled in recent years with little attention being paid to this industry despite its pivotal role on the worlds financial exchanges and its ability to thrive while the rest of the economy falters. Economics has not developed a model of mining that both captures the economic constraints on mining firms, as well as the geological nature of ore reserves. In this pap...

Well capture zone determination and site remediation has led to an increasing need of understanding how to quantitatively characterize both the heterogeneity of gravel aquifers and the influence of heterogeneity on groundwater flow and solute transport. Models play an important role in decision-making processes, especially in the context of better characterizing and in forecasting the behavior ...

We present a case study of dynamically triggered seismicity in Idaho and western Montana from the 2002 MW 7.9 Denali fault earthquake to investigate the relationship between measured geological discriminants and propensity for triggering. We first establish triggering. We find events that are not reported in the Advanced National Seismic System catalog in Idaho and Yellowstone following the Den...

Smart field technology is an attractive research field, as it can find an optimal well control strategy to maximize the oil recovery or the net present value (NPV). As the subsurface geology is highly uncertain, the reservoir model is usually described by a set of reservoir models. In well control optimization for a reservoir described by a set of geological models, the expectation of NPV is op...

Lineaments are vital geological features that play the role of a key indicator for ground water and petroleum searching. At present, there is no study that has utilised remote sensing satellite data to reconstruct three dimensional (3-D) lineament visualization in the Uinted Arab Emirates (UAE). This work aimed at reconstructing a (3-D) lineament visualization from multispectral remote sensing ...

The Ketzin pilot site for CO2 storage in Germany has been operated from 2007 to 2013 with about 67 kt of CO2 injected into the Upper Triassic Stuttgart Formation. Main objectives of this undertaking were assessing general feasibility of CO2 storage in saline aquifers as well as testing and integrating efficient monitoring and long-term prediction strategies. The present study aims at revising t...
