3D modeling method is divided into geospatial modeling and 3D geological modeling. 3D geological modeling technique has become a favorable tool for people to observe and analyze the geological body enriched in mineral resources. Unlike geospatial modeling, 3D geological modeling must consider various geological conditions affecting spatial shape and petrophysical distribution of geological body...

An Agilent Simulated Distillation (SimDis) system is described for characterizing petroleum fractions for quality control and monitoring of refinery feedstocks and products. The system uses a 6890N gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a high temperature programmable temperature vaporizer (HT PTV) inlet designed specifically for simulated distillation analysis. A SimDis software program that cou...

The Barents Sea has experienced intense erosion throughout the Cenozoic due to uplift and repeated episodes of glaciation. This, in turn, driven large pressure temperature fluctuations sediment substrate along with rearrangement thermogenic oil gas accumulations. As a result, some hydrocarbon fields have relatively shallow depths, natural release is widespread. This study focuses on process lea...

in recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. the hybrid system presented in this article produced power with sofc and stirling engine. the purpose is to analyze a 50 kw solid oxide fuel cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kw stirling engine working in the hybrid s...

introduction: one of the types of hospital management information systems is decision support information system (dsis). this system uses decision-making models and databases for preparing specific information to support their semi-structured or unstructured decisions. the present study aimed to design a decision dsis model for board of trustees of ayatollah kashani hospital, shahrekord, iran. ...

Microbial bioremediation of petroleum wastewater by phenol-degrading-bacteria holds promise in circumventing the issue of petroleum-spill related pollution. Herein, biodegradation of petroleum wastewater samples collected from oil refinery site was carried out in a fluidized bed bioreactor by Ca-alginate immobilized biomass of phenol-degrading strains of Bacillus cereus (AKG1 MTCC9817 and AKG2 ...

Two recent discoveries have greatly impacted understanding relevant to the origination and emplacement of petroleum and natural gas deposits. One discovery, pertaining to hydrocarbon formation from methane broadens significantly potential regions where abiotic petroleum and natural gas deposits might be found. The other, discovery of the physical impossibility of Earth-mantle convection, restri...
