Time-lapse seismic data are widely used for monitoring timevariant subsurface changes. Conventional analysis provides qualitative information by comparing results from consecutive surveys, whereas waveform inversion can retrieve quantitative estimates of reservoir properties through seismic waveform fitting. The quantitative evaluation of the physical parameters obtained by waveform inversion a...

This paper extends the notion of information processing capacity for non-independent input signals in the context of reservoir computing (RC). The presence of input autocorrelation makes worthwhile the treatment of forecasting and filtering problems for which we explicitly compute this generalized capacity as a function of the reservoir parameter values using a streamlined model. The reservoir ...

We develop a case study planning process by using a strategy for balancing reservoir uncertainties (rock properties), optimum field development scenario (rate schedule and start time) and associated risks in the capital expenditures (price inflation and discount factor). The objective of this development is to recover dry gas reserves from five recently discovered fields in the most cost-effici...

Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...

I measured physico-chemical properties and phytoplankton in the small, shallow tropical reservoir of Oyun (Offa, Nigeria) between January 2002 and December 2003. I identified 25 phytoplankton genera in three sampling stations. Bacillariophyceae dominated (75.3%), followed by Chlorophyceae (12.2%), Cyanobacteria (11.1%) and Desmidiaceae (0.73%). The high amount of nutrients (e.g. nitrate, phosph...
