Probability of economic success for Netherlands dairy farmers moving operations to the United States
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Dairy producers in the Netherlands are struggling to stay in business due to
increased environmental legislation, population density, intensity of farming systems,
costs of production and quota restrictions. One option ...
A simulation study to verify Stone's simultaneous water and gas injection performance in a 5-spot pattern
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Water alternating gas (WAG) injection is a proven technique to enhance oil
recovery. It has been successfully implemented in the field since 1957 with recovery
increase in the range of 5-10% of oil-initially-in-place ...
Optimization of a petroleum producing assets portfolio: development of an advanced computer model
(2009-05-15)
Portfolios of contemporary integrated petroleum companies consist of a few dozen
Exploration and Production (E&P) projects that are usually spread all over the world.
Therefore, it is important not only to manage individual ...
Simulation and integration of liquefied natural gas (lng) processes
(2009-05-15)
The global use of natural gas is growing quickly. This is primarily attributed to
its favorable characteristics and to the environmental advantages it enjoys over other
fossil fuels such as oil and coal. One of the key ...
A column based variance analysis approach to static reservoir model upgridding
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The development of coarsened reservoir simulation models from high resolution geologic models is a critical step in a simulation study. The optimal coarsening sequence becomes particularly challenging in a fluvial channel ...
Numerical simulation of the truss spar 'Horn Mountain' using COUPLE
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A truss spar, named as Horn Mountain, was deployed in the Gulf of Mexico in 1,650 m of water, approximately 150 km southeast of New Orleans in June 2002. Horn Mountain is operated by British Petroleum (B.P.). Extensive ...
Adequate description of heavy oil viscosities and a method to assess optimal steam cyclic periods for thermal reservoir simulation
(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 ...
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 ...
Modeling and Simulation of Solid Particle Erosion of Protective Films
(2011-02-22)
Among many useful properties of elastomers, one is their ability to absorb energy by deforming to large strains without fracturing. This property combined with their good adhesion to substrates makes them suited as adhesive ...
Assessing the Value of Delay to Truckers and Carriers
(2011-02-22)
This thesis evaluates the Value of Delay (VOD) to commercial vehicle operators due to highway congestions. The VOD for congestion is a fundamental parameter driving the private sectors’ response to public freight projects ...
