China-Myanmar oil & gas pipeline project covers 7,676 miles in all. The project met with complex geological conditions, construction types along the line, and long-distance oil & gas parallel laying pipeline. Because the pipeline layout and the construction are more complicated, it is necessary to make the stress analysis of oil & gas parallel laying pipeline traversing tunnels. Software CAESAR...

argillite, interbedded basalt and abundant diabase sills. More specifically, the rhodonite is located above a section of grey, black and pale green chert and argillite at the base of the unit [IIPPvs( I ) on Figure 2-15-21 and about 50 metres below an upper section of brightly coloured, maroon, red, green and grey chert and argillite [Unit IIPPvs(2) on Figure 2-15-21, This stratigraphic positio...

The use of digital information in geological fields is becoming very important. Thus, informatization in geological surveys should not stagnate as a result of the level of data accumulation. The integration and sharing of distributed, multi-source, heterogeneous geological information is an open problem in geological domains. Applications and services use geological spatial data with many featu...

This paper presents the first use of close range terrestrial hyperspectral imaging to explore by-products from the iron and steel industry at a dump site cross section, using established mapping approaches in geological remote sensing. Laboratory reflectance measurements, X-Ray diffraction and chemical analysis provided a benchmark for the imaging results. In addition, terrestrial laser scannin...

groundwater quality characteristics are affected by lithology and geological structure of aquifer formations. this research has studied the groundwater chemical quality of the upper aji-chai basin with regard to different geological formations. using pie and piper diagrams, the researchers analyzed hydro-chemical elements of 47 sample groundwater resources. after determining water type of sampl...

Interpretation of subsurface geology is greatly enhanced by 3-D seismic data, and this accounts for its ubiquity in today’s search for hydrocarbons. Seismic interpretation has two fundamental disciplines at its core: seismic geomorphology and seismic stratigraphy. Plan views allow the explorationist to apply principles of geomorphology, based on analogies with modern sedimentary systems, to int...

Javoří hory Mountains is a part of Intra Sudetic Basin that belongs to the Permian-Carboniferous section of the Bohemian Massif, whose geological evolution was strongly influenced by volcanic activity. In the Pleistocene epoch cryogenic processes modeled the mountains significantly (frost cliffs, gelifluction streams), which resulted, in connection to the slope orientations, in substantial moun...

A common task in coal exploration is evaluating reserves by estimating some form of isopach map. Available machine-contouring packages, because of their gridding/contouring sequence, are generally unsatisfactory for this purpose. A different approach considers an isopach map as the difference between two complete digital models of the upper and lower surfaces involved. In addition, whereas a to...
