This papar pre8ente analytic solutions of the pre$sure trafwlent behavior of a well intarsaotad by a finite-conductivity fracture in an infinite-acting, or in cyfindric%lly or rectangularly Lmundsd finite reservoirs. Thsse solutions includa the practicat effects of reservoir psrmeabili~ anisotropy and dual porosity behavior. These solutions are analytic, and thus do not require dfscretization i...

Portuguese freshwater reservoirs are important socio-economic resources, namely for recreational use. National legislation concerning bathing waters does not include mandatory levels or guidelines for cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. This is an issue of concern since cyanotoxin-based evidence is insufficient to change the law, and the collection of scientific evidence has been hampered by the lac...

be from pipe and connection breaks rather than structural failure of distribution reservoirs (as long as the reservoirs have been designed for lateral loading). Most of the examples of storage tanks and distribution reservoirs impacted by the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquakes appear to have been of steel construction rather than of reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete ...

This study examined the correlations between watershed and reservoir characteristics, and water quality parameters related to algal blooms in seven subtropical reservoirs. Analysis of the dissimilarity of physico-chemical parameters resulted in separation of the reservoirs into three main groups: four reservoirs with the highest proportion of agriculture and/or urban land use in their watershed...

Unconventional reservoirs are keys to oil and gas exploration and development, especially shale gas reservoirs. Discriminated shale gas reservoir lithofacies are, in particular, a primary problem in shale gas reservoir engineering. The mineral composition will affect both absorbed and free gas contents, therefore their identification is important. The mineral composition is one part of lithofac...

Oil reservoirs are specific habitats for the survival and growth of microorganisms in general. Pseudomonas stutzeri which is believed to be an exogenous organism inoculated into oil reservoirs during the process of oil production was detected frequently in samples from oil reservoirs. Very little is known, however, about the distribution and genetic structure of P. stutzeri in the special envir...

Graham, J. L. and J. R. Jones 2009. Microcystin in Missouri reservoirs. Lake Reserv. Manage. 25:253–263. During summers (May–Aug) 2004–2006, 177 Missouri reservoirs were sampled monthly at open pelagic locations to assess regional patterns in microcystin concentration, frequency of occurrence over successive summer seasons and relations with environmental factors. Microcystin was detected in 58...

Abstract During polymer flooding into the reservoir using shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids, an interface exists between in situ Newtonian crude oil and injected solution. This paper examines application of well test analysis techniques to develop analytical solution non-Newtonian/Newtonian fluids with different flow index composite reservoirs for estimating boundary conditions such reservoir...

Water reservoirs for domestic use are important sites for the development of Aedes aegypti. In poor areas, these reservoirs are often located outdoors upon flat rooftops. In modern architecture buildings, however, the same is seen even in high-class condominiums. Special attention should be given to these modern architectural constructions during entomological surveillance.
