Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSedimentology and Ichnology of Late Oligocene Delta Front Reservoir Sandstone Deposit, Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Niger DeltaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiSedimentological and ichnological study of cored reservoir sands correlated with wireline logs between two wells, 0.8 km distance apart along dip direction, enabled vertical and cross sectional facies variability assessment aimed at determining intra sand-body continuity in longitudinal or down-dip direction; and sub-environments of deposition and factors that controlled depositional processes. Ten lithofacies described 62 meters cores of the reservoir … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 30 Jul 2015 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECONOMIC EVALUATION OF AQUACULTURE INVESTMENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEAFilippo Sgroi, Salvatore Tudisca, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo TestaThis study aims to analyze, from a technical and economic point of view, the choice between alternative investments in aquaculture under conditions of risk and uncertainty. In particular, a comparative analysis has been conducted between an inshore and an offshore farm producing European sea bass in the Mediterranean Sea. The applied model refers to the theory of subjective probability, assigning … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 1 Oct 2014 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation Technologies for Marine Oil Spills: A Critical Review and Comparative AnalysisD. Dave, A.E. GhalyProblem statement: Anthropogenic activities pollute the oceans with oil through land run off, vessels accidents, periodic tanker discharges and bilge discharges. Oil spills are environmental disasters that impact human, plants and wild life including birds, fish and mammals. Approach: In this study, the International Guidelines for Preventing Oils Spills and Response to Disasters were reviewed and the characteristics of oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 25,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEscherichia Coli and Biophysicochemical Relationships of Seawater and Water Pollution Index in the Jakarta BayEndan Suwandana, Kensuke Kawamura, Kazuhiko Tanaka et al.Problem statement: Relationships between Escherichia coli (E. coli) and biophysicochemical properties of seawater at different seasons and water pollution index were investigated in the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia. Approach: Water quality data taken at different seasons (Early Rainy Season (ERS) in November 2007 and Late Dry Season (LDS) in August 2008) were analyzed. Additionally, to compare pollution level at different seasons, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2011 · 7,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWave Characteristics in Sabah WatersEjria Saleh, Jessie Beliku, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: This study was conducted to identify and compare the wave characteristics in Sabah waters at five different key locations so as to determine the effects of the Northeast Monsoon (NEM) and the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) along the east and west coasts of Sabah. Approach: Monthly wave height and wave period data for 8 years covering offshore areas of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,749 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWellbore Surveying While Drilling Based on Kalman FilteringMahmoud ElGizawy, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Jacques Georgy et al.Problem statement: Oil and gas are global fuels obtained primarily from drilling wells in underground terrestrial reservoirs. Vertical drilling is preferred because of its simplicity and therefore low cost, but subsurface targets can often be procured only by directing the wellbore along predefined non-vertical trajectories. For instance, directional drilling must be employed to reach locations inaccessible to the drilling rig, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cost Effective and User Friendly Approach to Design Wireline Formation TestsClara Bertolini, Giuseppe Tripaldi, Elena Manassero et al.Problem statement: Wireline formation testing (also named Mini-DSTs) are gaining more and more popularity as a possible alternative to conventional well testing especially where there are major environmental and economical constraints. The increased offshore exploration activity, which often implies highly risky and huge operational costs, makes the conventional well testing less attractive in favor of other technologies that can provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBackscattered Acoustic Energy by Monobubbles Experimental Approach and Statistical Study of the AttenuationAli Khelil, Claude ManteProblem statement: As the number of air bubbles in the sea is very high, they are so many acoustic diffusers who make illegible the recordings the purpose of which is to quantify the alive bodies. The signals backscattered by air bubbles constitute a parasite in offshore recordings and must be eliminated. It is planned to finalize techniques allowing the localization … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
