Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Subsurface Appraisal: A Key Link to the Success of Development Projects-Few ExamplesVirendra Singh, Ivan Yemez, Elena Izaguirre, Alvaro RaceroDuring exploration and production phases, the life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: Exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. Of particular interest is the appraisal stage, where billions of dollars are spent across the oil and gas industry on data gathering activities with a view to reducing subsurface uncertainties towards optimizing reservoir development and management. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2017 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Fractured Reservoir Characterization by using Geological and Petrophysical LogsZohreh Movahed, Farzaneh AghajariDue to structural complexities in some wells, higher than the expected thickness of the Asmari formation is found. Fracture intensity and deep-rooted fractures broadly increase the risk of unpredictable water production. The well-test analysis is not sufficient in describing fracture properties. Unfortunately, the core condition is poor in the fractured zones and cannot be used to provide reliable information. So, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2022 · 9,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Distribution and Evaluation of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil Based on Three-Dimensional Model and Kriging InterpolationBaoshun Liu, Yonghong Zhang, Jun Yao, Jian SuSoil heavy metal pollution is an important content for soil environmental governance. Based on the three-Dimensional (3D) geological modeling technology and ordinary Kriging method, this study described and analyzed the soil pollution status and spatial distribution characteristics of a site in Zhongshan, Guangxi. The results showed that combining 3D geological model and the Kriging interpolation method can well evaluate soil … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2022 · 6,144 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Dynamics and Quality Assessment in an Agricultural AreaStefano Lo Russo, Adriano Fiorucci, Bartolomeo VignaProblem statement: The analysis of the relationships among the different hydrogeological Units and the assessment of groundwater quality are fundamental to adopt suitable territorial planning measures aimed to reduce the potential groundwater pollution especially in agricultural regions. In this study, the characteristics of groundwater dynamics and the assessment of its quality in the Cuneo Plain (NW Italy) were examined. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Sep 2011 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeight of Evidence Allocates Mineral Depositional ZonesAbdullah A. Bokhari, Guang Dao HU, Rani FouadProblem statement: Yunnan province in general and Pulang area in particular is geological rich area which prevents field study in multi locations due to high risk outcrop. Approach: New technology such as Geographic Information System (GIS) and an ArcView extension module Arcweight of evidence (WofE) became very handy to provide safety for researchers and allow organization to control their budget. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
