A simulation model of Rio Grande wild turkey dynamics in the Edwards Plateau of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
I investigated the effect of precipitation and predator abundance on Rio Grande wild
turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; RGWT) in Texas. My results suggested that RGWT
production was strongly correlated with cumulative winter ...
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 ...
Stokesian dynamic simulations and analyses of interfacial and bulk colloidal fluids
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Understanding dynamics of colloidal dispersions is important for several
applications ranging from coatings such as paints to growing colloidal crystals for
photonic bandgap materials. The research outlined in this ...
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 ...
Machinery sharing by agribusiness firms: methodology, application, and simulation
(2009-05-15)
Machinery investments represent a substantial portion of agribusiness firms’ costs. Because of high machinery costs, variable profit margins, and increasing competition, agribusiness managers continually seek methods to ...
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 ...
