Abstract Tier II/III SMART protocol for dispersant use requires placing fluorometers in the water and towing them under a slick by boat. To protect health of teams, boats typically remain at least 2 miles away from slicks during aerial treatment. After spray completes, transit into oil slicks. The time between completion initiation monitoring can be > 30 minutes. In minutes, dispersed pl...

Abstract Fracturing technology is the key of shale oil and gas exploitation in United States. The hydraulic fracturing lies formulation fluid, which can improve permeability layer, reduce pumping resistance, optimize production conditions, strata damage other purposes. Slick-water widely used water-based for unconventional exploitation, friction resistance. As core slickwater reducer determine ...

During the Deepwater Horizon incident, crude oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico from 1522 m underwater. In an effort to prevent the oil from rising to the surface, synthetic dispersants were applied at the wellhead. However, uncertainties in the formation of oil droplets and difficulties in measuring their size in the water column, complicated further assessment of the potential effect of the d...

Applications in image processing and remote sensing raise questions that have so far received only marginal attention from the machine learning community. And yet, each of our issues, we believe, represents a rich research topic, in addition to being of practical importance. The task of the presented case study is to expose some of them in the context where we encountered them, and to encourage...

Transporting crude oil inside a pipeline is a common process in the petroleum industry. Crude oil from different sources has different properties due to terrains and climates which cause the transport profile to change during operations. In this study, the computational fluid dynamics model was developed using computer language code. The governing equations were employed to study the effect of ...

We introduce a model for the dynamics of oil in suspension, appropriate for shallow waters, including the nearshore environment. This model is capable of oil mass conservation and does so by evolving the oil on the sea surface as well as the oil in the subsurface. The shallower portion of the continental shelf poses compounding unique modeling challenges. Many of these relate to the complex nat...

[DCe] Decker, Celma: A slick procedure for integrity checking in deductive databases , Proc.

After the destruction of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform during the spring of 2010, the northern Gulf of Mexico was threatened by an oil spill from the Macondo well. Emergency responders were concerned about oil transport in the nearshore, where it threatened immediately the fishing waters and coastline from Louisiana to Florida. In this region, oil movement was influenced by a continen...

The Slack and Slick genes encode potassium channels that are very widely expressed in the central nervous system. These channels are activated by elevations in intracellular sodium, such as those that occur during trains of one or more action potentials, or following activation of non-selective cationic neurotransmitter receptors such as AMPA receptors. This review covers the cellular and molec...

Some argue that peak conventional oil production is imminent due to physical resource scarcity. We examine the alternative possibility of reduced oil use due to improved efficiency and oil substitution. Our model uses historical relationships to project future demand for (a) transport services, (b) all liquid fuels, and (c) substitution with alternative energy carriers, including electricity. R...
