Carcuz Jerez, Juan Ramon de Jesus (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)I here present a combined AVO analysis of P-P and P-S reflection data whose objective is to improve the identification of lithology by estimating the specific values of Poisson's ratio, [sigma], for each rock formation in ...
-
Ravago Bastardo, Delmira Cristina (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The main objective of this research is to compare the performance of cyclic steam injection using horizontal wells based on the analytical model developed by Gunadi against that based on numerical simulation. For comparison, ...

Erez, Ilana (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Modern seismic imaging tools for oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) assume that seismic data contain responses only of waves that bounce (e.g., reflect, diffract) only once at each interface in the subsurface. ...
-
Abdullayev, Azer (2009-06-02)Experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to better understand the effects of additives on viscosity, density and surface tension of intermediate and heavy crude oils. The studies have been conducted for ...
-
Zambrano, Orlando (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The development of a methodology to improve the parametric representation of the failure criteria used to characterize rock strength of a reservoir rock in the near-wellbore region is the focus of this study. We adopted a ...
-
Seo, Jeong Gyu (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)he feasibility of sequestering supercritical CO2 in depleted gas reservoirs. The experimental runs involved the following steps. First, the 1 ft long by 1 in. diameter carbonate core is inserted into a viton Hassler sleeve ...
-
Aleidan, Ahmed Abdulaziz S. (2011-02-22)Experimental and numerical simulation studies were conducted to investigate the improvement of light oil recovery in carbonate cores during CO2 injection. The main steps in the study are as follows. First, the minimum ...
-
Gbadamosi, Hakeem B. (2010-01-16)The objective of this thesis is to study two Basins of the Gulf of Guinea (GoG), namely the Dahomey and the Liberian Basins. These Basins are located in the northern part of the GoG, where oil and gas exploration has ...
-
Chandra, Suandy (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The Jeff Jones steamflood model incorporates oil displacement by steam as described by Myhill and Stegemeier, and a three-component capture factor based on empirical correlations. The main drawback of the model however is ...
-
Linear demultiple solution based on bottom-multiple generator (BMG) approximation: subsalt example Oladeinde, Abiola Omobolaji (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Significant quantities of hydrocarbons are found in complex salt environments. One of the modern challenges of exploration and production activities is to image below salt. This challenge arises from the complexities of ...
-
Bailey, Zhanar Alpysbaevna (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The North Caspian Basin (NCB) contains a significant number of major oil fields, some of which are yet to be put into production. The reason why some of these fields are not yet put into production is the exploration ...
-
Li, Yuqian (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The further exploration and development of Pabst Gas Field with faulted sand reservoirs require an understanding of the properties and roles of faults, particularly Low Throw near Vertical Faults (LTNVFs), in gas migration ...
-
Wilson, Ryan Justin (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Vertical cable seismic methods are becoming more relevant as we require high quality and high resolution seismic data in both land and marine environments. Our goal in this thesis is to demonstrate the impacts of vertical ...
-
Bai, Jianyong (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Numerical simulations indicate that hydrocarbon migration and entrapment in stacked fault-bounded reservoirs are mainly affected by the following factors: charge time, faults, pressure and geological structures. The charge ...
-
Cai, Rui (2012-02-14)Many hydrocarbon detection techniques have been developed for decades and one of the most efficient techniques for hydrocarbon exploration in recent years is well known as amplitude versus offset analysis (AVO). However, ...
-
Greenidge, Janelle Candice (2009-05-15)Seismic data processing depends on mathematical and statistical tools such as convolution, crosscorrelation and stack that employ second-order statistics (SOS). Seismic signals are non-Gaussian and therefore contain ...
-
Kim, Booyong (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)During the Late Pliocene to Middle Pleistocene Ages, sediments of the study area were deposited in the intra-slope salt withdrawal basin where sand-prone sediments deposited as turbidite lobes and channel fills are the ...
-
Rahmanov, Ogtay Rasim (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Interpretation of 900 km of a closely spaced grid of high-resolution seismic profiles over the northwestern margin of South Caspian Basin (SCB) allows recognition and study of six late Pleistocene - Holocene depositional ...
-
Guliyev, Ruslan (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Pattern geometry plays a major role in determining oil recovery during waterflooding and enhanced oil recovery operations. Although simulation is an important tool for design and evaluation, the first step often involves ...
