Mago, Alonso Luis (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)A global steady increase of energy consumption coupled with the decline of conventional oil resources points to a more aggressive exploitation of heavy oil. Heavy oil is a major source of energy in this century with a ...

Alhukail, Ibrahim 1970- (2012-06-22)We are presenting a new way of improving seismic-array responses. By analyzing the relationship between the covariance matrix forms from the real sensors of seismic arrays and the fourth-order crosscumulants from the same ...

Jaiswal, Namit (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Simulation study has shown oil production is accelerated when propane is used as an additive during steam injection. To better understand this phenomenon, distillation experiments were performed using San Ardo crude oil ...

Sassen, Douglas Spencer (2011-02-22)The presence of fractures, joints and karst features within rock strongly influence the hydraulic and mechanical behavior of a rock mass, and there is a strong desire to characterize these features in a noninvasive manner, ...

Ma, Nan (2010-10-12)The three key steps of modern seismic imaging are (1) multiple attenuation, (2) velocity estimation, and (3) migration. The multiple-attenuation step is essentially designed to remove the energy that has bounces at the ...

Yang, Xiujun (2009-05-15)Seismic modeling is a technique for simulating wave propagation through the subsurface. For a given geological model, seismic modeling allows us to generate snapshots of wave propagation and synthetic data. In my dissertation, ...
-
Mukherjee, Souvik (2010-10-12)Presence of cultural refuse has long posed a serious challenge to meaningful geological interpretation of near surface controlled–source electromagnetic data (CSEM). Cultural refuse, such as buried pipes, underground storage ...

Singh, Satyan (2012-02-14)The oil and gas industry defines ultra-deep-water regions as areas in which water depths are greater than 1500 m. It is now well established that there are hydrocarbons in these regions. The reservoirs in these areas are ...
