The energy crisis has created increased interest in petroleum exploration. Discoveries of major deposits are increasingly rare and difficult to locate. The geophysicist requires more accurate knowledge to assist him in locating deeper and smaller hydrocarbon deposits. While gravity, magnetic, and electrical methods are also used, the predominant exploration tool is the seismic method and provid...

Oilfield Review Winter 2014/2015: 26, no. 4. Copyright © 2015 Schlumberger. FMI is a mark of Schlumberger. Sediments undergo several modifications to become the source rocks, reservoirs and seals that generate and contain petroleum reserves. The changes that occur between deposition and lithification, collectively known as diagenesis, include the processes of compaction, cementation, dissolutio...

We propose a model-driven and generative approach to specify and generate web services for migrating scientific legacy systems to service-oriented platforms. From a model specification of the system migration, we use code generation to generate web services and automate the legacy integration. We use a case study from an existing oil spill analysis application developed in Fortran and C++ to sh...

facing the issues with structural complexity about which stakeholders have different views, has increasingly led to the use of soft systems methodology (ssm) in solving managerial problems. moreover, the flaws of this methodology in the stages of modeling and feasible, desirable changes, have provided the motivation for applying cognitive map (cm) and system dynamics in the ssm modeling. presen...

Representing the knowledge domain of a petroleum system is a complex problem. In the present study, logical modelling of shared attributes of resources industry entities (dimensions or objects) has been used for construction of a dynamic and time-variant metadata model. This work demonstrates effectiveness of multidimensional data modelling for petroleum industry, which will be further investig...

understanding and changing the energy consumption behavior requires extensive knowledge about the motives of behavior. in this research, rough set theory is used to investigate the energy consumption behavior of employees in organizations. so, thirteen condition attributes and a decision attribute are selected and the decision system is created. condition attributes include demographic, values,...

A large quantity of data in earthquake, well-log, grilling, geology and other non-seismic geophysics, has been accumulated during long period of petroleum prospecting. These data are stored in papery document and managed in low efficient manual management. This paper proposed this petroleum exploration information management system which adopts SQL Server2000 as database server and combines B/S...

In the post-9/11 United States, there is a heightened awareness of further terrorist attacks. Prominent amongst these concerns are attacks against infrastructure intended to disrupt the US economy, defense and society through destruction of power supply, bridges, highways, ports, sewer and water supply. In particular, the US depends on petroleum fuels. Disrupting petroleum fuel supply would cle...

This study was investigated the efficiency of activated persulfate and ‎in-vessel composting for removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons. ‎Remediation by activated persulfate with ferrous sulfate as pre-treatment was done at batch system. In the chemical oxidation, various variables including persulfate concentrations (10-3000 mg/g as waste), ...
