The investigation and exploration of potential deep geothermal systems is based on detailed knowledge of their distinct reservoir characteristics. This is especially important in the exploration of potentially engineered geothermal systems and of mid to low enthalpy reservoir formations in greater depths, resp. In the early stages of geothermal reservoir exploration, characterization of the res...

Building upon the foundation of the prior investigations, a three-fold classification of tight gas reservoirs is proposed in this paper which is based primarily on dynamic relationship between gas charging history and reservoir tightening process, coupled with tectonic evolution, source-reservoir relationship, migration and charging pattern. The three categories of tight gas are: (1) “pre-exist...

Whereas cells productively infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) decay rapidly in the setting of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), latently infected resting CD4(+) T cells decay very slowly, persisting for the lifetime of the patient and thus forming a stable reservoir for HIV-1. It has been suggested that the stability of the latent reservoir is due to low-level...

The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as a driving force in the economics of the oil and gas industry and as major assets near abandonment, geophysics has increasingly been recognized as a tool for improving...

Introduction: Even before Artificial Intelligence was its own field of computational science, men have tried to mimic the activity of the human brain. In the early 1940s the first artificial neuron models were created as purely mathematical concepts. Over the years, ideas from neuroscience and computer science were used to develop the modern Neural Network. The interest in these models rose qui...

Since the 1950s, the pollution of reservoirs has become serious. The water quality in reservoirs is deteriorating due to population growth, industrialization, and urbanization. In order to clarify the characteristics of water quality change in reservoirs, in-situ monitoring of water quality and phytoplankton were conducted in Jinpen Reservoir, Shibianyu Reservoir, Zhoucun Reservoir, and Zhelin ...

this paper describes the problem of sedimentation in reservoirs,in general, and offers an estimate of the annual rate of storage loss and the useful life of sefidrud reservoir in iran,in particular. the life of sefidrud reservoir was predicted to exceed 100 years in the design, based on insufficient data. regular daily measurements of sediment discharge of the river, taken years later, however,...

Reservoir porous medium is random, in terms of oil and gas for low permeability reservoirs. Consider the random nature of the reservoir will enable to improve the accuracy of numerical reservoir simulation. Based on extensive research, for the stochastic nature of the reservoir from the two aspects of physical simulation, numerical simulation, the relevant international studies were reviewed. T...

Finding a representative fluid in a hydrocarbon reservoir is crucial for integrated reservoir management. In this study, a systematic approach for screening and selecting consistent fluid samples in a reservoir was developed. The model integrated quality control (QC) of well conditioning before sampling, QC of PVT data, thermodynamic modeling and compositional gradient within a reservoir. Well ...
