a study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation

reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...

2 Three Models for Waterflooding in a Naturallyfractured Petroleum

Effect of Discontinuous Shales on Reservoir Performance During Horizontal Waterflooding

We investigate quantitatively the effect of inclined and intersecting discontinuous shales on horizontal waterfloods, using generic, dimensionless twoand three-dimensional models. We focus upon whether the shales alter the sweep efficiency. We find that they have a significant effect only if they are continuous over large areas of the bedding surfaces and are steeply inclined to the flow, or if...

Waterflooding identification of continental clastic reservoirs based on neural network

This article describes an approach based on artificial neural network to identify waterflooded zone of continental clastic reservoirs. For the logging sequence of waterflooded zone matching the characteristics of the continental oilfield, the application of artificial neural network algorithm is able to distinguish water layers, oil reservoirs and dry layers among reservoirs of waterflooded zon...
