to study the effects of drought stress and foliar application with salicylic acid on yield andit’s components and percentage of essential oil of nigella sativa l., a field experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm of shahid bahonar university of kerman during growing season of 2013- 2014. the main factor was drought...

The challenge of a deep-water oil leak is that a significant quantity of oil remains in the water column and possibly changes properties. There is a need to quantify the oil settled within the water column and determine its physical properties to assist in the oil recovery. There are currently no methods to map acoustically submerged oil in the sea. In this paper, high-frequency acoustic method...

To understand the ecotoxicological impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, field studies provide a context for ecological realism but laboratory-based studies offer power for connecting biological effects with specific causes. As a complement to field studies, we characterized genome-wide gene expression responses of Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) to oil-contaminated waters in controlled...

the narrow operating window between pore pressure and fracture pressure makes drilling difficult in some operations. a feasibility study of managed pressure drilling (mpd) is carried out on iran darquain oil field. the previous wells drilled in this field showed that mud returns were lost during drilling gadvan formation. the present work addresses this problem by means of surface back pressure...

Grieve oil field, discovered in 1954, is located in southeastern Wind River Basin, central Wyoming. This Lower Cretaceous, valley-fill and channelized, Muddy sandstone reservoir is a stratigraphic/structural trap with an average structural dip of 15 degrees. Multiple recovery mechanisms have contributed to produce more than 30 million barrels of premium light sweet crude, including gas expansio...

Planning and assessment in maintenance, renewal and working status of oil field facilities and oil production management are evolving toward complex, spatially explicit regional assessments. These problems have to be addressed with object-oriented spatiotemporal data models that can restore, manage, query and visualize various historic and updated basic information concerning with oil field fac...

Michigan's first commercial oil field was discovered at Port Huron, St. Clair County, in 1886. By 1910, 21 shallow wells had been completed in the Dundee formation at depths of about 500 to 650 feet. In 1910 the daily production from this field amounted to about 10 barrels of oil per day, all of which was used locally in the manufacture of lubricants. However, it was not until 1925 when the Sag...
