1. Abstract Capture and sequestration of CO2 in deep geological formations is an attractive option to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The capture of CO2 is mostly done at large stationary point sources, such as power plants and refineries, and then it is injected in deep saline aquifers or old oil and gas fields. One of the environmental and policy concerns with this str...

Slope stability analysis is a geotechnical engineering problem characterized by many sources ofuncertainty. In slope stability computations, some of these sources are encountered, such as geologicaldetails missed in the exploration program, estimation of soil properties that are difficult to quantifyand many other relevant factors. Therefore, accurate reproduction of the spatial variability in ...

An object-oriented and map-based prototype expert system has been developed for integrating geophysical, geological data for base metal exploration. The object-oriented knowledge representation structure and uncertainty propagation mechanisms used work well for this integrated resource exploration problem. Evidential belief function theory is utilized to manage the uncertainties in the system. ...

Stochastic simulation is a popular approach for the quantification of reservoir heterogeneity. From the geological viewpoints, however, the role of reservoir geology in stochastic models is diminishing in recent years. This paper reviews the major characteristics of the stochastic models, and geological knowledge is identified as the major missing element in the current practices of the simulat...
