(2017-05-09)The purpose of this study was to explore the performance of a secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) technique for probing nanovolumes. The variant of SIMS used involves bombardment with individual massive projectiles ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)When an engineering student attends four or five years of college to become a professional engineer one makes the assumption that they approach this learning process in such a way to gain the most knowledge possible. The ...

The Effect of Proppant Size and Concentration on Hydraulic Fracture Conductivity in Shale Reservoirs (2013-04-11)Hydraulic fracture conductivity in ultra-low permeability shale reservoirs is directly related to well productivity. The main goal of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations is to create a network of conductive pathways ...

Fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI) sensor using vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This research represents the first effort to apply vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) to the monitoring of interferometric fiber optic sensors. Modulation of the drive current causes thermal tuning of the ...

(2016-04-05)This thesis will explore two different facets of the quest for superior immobilized catalysts: (1) cyclotrimerization of acetylenes with nickel catalysts and (2) solid-state NMR studies of the adsorption and subsequent ...
-
(2018-05-01)Due to their ultra-low permeability and extremely heterogeneous formations, unconventional liquids-rich reservoirs (ULR) need a support of an effective hydraulic fracturing for economic and commercial oil production. In ...
