A rock physics based seismic interpretation workflow has been developed to extract volumetric properties from seismically derived P- and S-wave impedances, I p s . This was first tested on a classic velocity-porosity model. Next, it applied two case studies: carbonate clastic oil field. In each study, we established models that accurately relate elastic the rock’s properties, mainly total poros...

BACKGROUND In geochemically perturbed systems where porewater and mineral assemblages are unequilibrated the processes of mineral precipitation and dissolution may change important transport properties such as porosity and pore diffusion coefficients. These reactions might alter the sealing capabilities of the rock by complete pore-scale precipitation (cementation) of the system or by opening n...

The porosity of uniaxially compacted cohesive powders depends on the applied stress (including gravity). The case, where these stresses are weak, is considered. The compaction results in a porosity which is a function of sliding, rolling and torsion friction. By contact dynamics simulations it is shown that the influences of contact torques (static rolling and torsion friction) on the porosity ...

in the present study, the effect of porosity on the cathode microstructure (50:50 wt. % lsm: ysz) of a solid oxide fuel cell (sofc) has been examined. a 3-d finite element method for mixed ionic and electronic conducting cathodes (miec) is presented to study the effects of porosity on cell performance. each microstructure was realized using the monte carlo approach with the isotropic type of gr...

Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in the cortical bone matrix, are thought to have mechanosensory and chemosensory regulatory roles. Marotti theorized that osteocytes signal to osteoblasts to recruit them into the osteocyte lineage. Martin extended this theory, assuming that osteocytes display a general inhibitory effect on osteoblast function. The current study provides a quantitative analys...

There are various approaches to computing dry rock bulk modulus as a function of porosity and, from this, inferring velocity and density changes due to reservoir fluid change as a function of porosity. One such approach is the pore space stiffness method. A second approach is the critical porosity model (Mavko and Mukerji, 1995). Using the clean sandstones at different pressures from a dataset ...

for obtaining reservoir petrophysical properties, for example porosity, non-destructive methods such as x-ray computed tomography, ct, seems to be precise and accurate. porosity is deducted from the ct image with a single scan via different techniques, such as pore space detection by image segmentation techniques then correlation with porosity. more than one hundred samples with carbonate litho...

This paper presents the experimental results of the investigation of various properties related to the durability and longterm performance of mortars made of Fly Ash blended cement, FA and Ordinary Portland cement, OPC. The properties that were investigated in an experimental program include; equilibration of specimen in different relative humidity, determination of total porosity, compressive ...

We investigated the fabrication of highly porous scaffolds made of three different materials [poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) polymer, an ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotube (US-tube) nanocomposite, and a dodecylated US-tube (F-US-tube) nanocomposite] in order to evaluate the effects of material composition and porosity on scaffold pore structure, mechanical properties, and marrow stromal ...
