Sports are spontaneous generators of stories. Through skill and chance, the script of each game is dynamically written in real time by players acting out possible trajectories allowed by a sport's rules. By properly characterizing a given sport's ecology of "game stories," we are able to capture the sport's capacity for unfolding interesting narratives, in part by contrasting them with random w...

The Cane Creek shale of the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation represents a major target for oil and gas in fold fault belt northern Basin southeastern Utah southwestern Colorado. Early exploration development attempts resulted blowouts due to unexpected gas-bearing intervals casing collapses caused by salt flowage Formation. These problems represent some types drilling hazards that could be expec...

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) was largest and perhaps most consequential accidental marine spill global history. This paper provides an overview a Research Topic consisting four additional papers that: (1) assemble time series data for ecosystem components regions impacted by spill, (2) interpret temporal changes related to vulnerability species e...

The article considers the fundamental aspects of powerful explosive degassing Earth in north Western Siberia (mainly Yamal). author presents results a comprehensive analysis and compilation large volume factual materials obtained during field studies number catastrophic gas blowout objects 2014—2020. outlines that most craters found Yamal are confined to zone anomalous heat flow area Bovanenkov...

Natural gas hydrate is easy to decompose and leak due the changes in temperature pressure during drilling, which causes safety accidents. Early monitoring of wellhead overflow a practical effective measure prevent blowouts other Herein, methane system for open-circuit drilling marine natural was designed. The consisted an overwater acoustic reception part underwater self-contained part, matchin...

The Gonghe Basin on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a cold, arid climate and suffered severe land degradation. Climate change as well anthropogenic activities including overgrazing have resulted in widespread blowout development formation of some Earth’s largest blowouts. blowouts are part an aeolian dominated landscape that passes from deflation zone to grass covered plain, then through increasi...
