The impact of the removal of the Multi-Fiber Arrangement on textile and cotton trade of the United States and China
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Textiles and apparel trade has been governed by the Multi-Fiber Arrangement
(MFA) for three decades. Trade restrictions have generated substantial welfare losses
and price wedges in exporting and importing countries through ...
Coarse scale simulation of tight gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
It is common for field models of tight gas reservoirs to include several wells with hydraulic fractures. These hydraulic fractures can be very long, extending for more than a thousand feet. A hydraulic fracture width is ...
Simulation of fluid flow mechanisms in high permeability zones (Super-K) in a giant naturally fractured carbonate reservoir
(2009-05-15)
Fluid flow mechanisms in a large naturally fractured heterogeneous carbonate reservoir were investigated in this manuscript. A very thin layer with high permeability that produces the majority of production from specific ...
Beauty waves: an artistic representation of ocean waves using Bezier curves
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this thesis, we present a method for computing an artistic representation of
ocean waves using Bezier curves. Wave forms are loosely based on procedural wave
models and are designed to emulate those found in both art ...
Analysis of HMA permeability through microstructure characterization and simulation of fluid flow in X-ray CT images
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The infiltration of water in asphalt pavements promotes moisture damage primarily through damaging the binder cohesive bond and the adhesive bond between aggregates and binder. Moisture damage is associated with excessive ...
New multilateral well architecture in heterogeneous reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Multilateral well technology has been widely used in the world oil fields. There still has technical limitation of these kinds of well structure. This thesis presents a new multilateral well architecture which is more ...
Investigating the changes in matrix and fracture properties and fluid flow under different stress-state conditions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The fracture aperture and fracture permeability are usually considered to remain the same during the production life of a naturally fractured reservoir, regardless of the degree of depletion; but reservoirs experience ...
Computer simulation of GTL and various problems in thermodynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This dissertation intends to provide new tuning techniques for several simple cubic equations of state (EOS) to improve their accuracy in calculating fluid phase equilibrium. It also provides graphical tools to predict ...
Location of an agribusiness enterprise with respect to economic viability: a risk analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This study analyzes the economic and geographic effects of alternative locations
on risky investment decisions in a probabilistic framework. Historically, alternative
locations for multi-million dollar investments are often ...
Simulation of bilinear flow in single matrix block drainage
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This thesis presents modeling of bilinear flow in tight gas wells and its behavior on single matrix block drainage. The objectives of this research are to: simulate a tight gas well using matrix block drainage under constant ...
