Optimal operation of multi-reservoir systems is one the most challenging problems in water resource management due to their multi-objective nature and time-consuming solving process. In this paper, Multi-Reservoir Parallel Cellular Automata-Simulated Annealing (MPCA-SA), a hybrid method based on cellular automata simulated annealing presented for bi-objective operations problems. The problem co...

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 ...

In the framework of the Caldeira -Leggett model of dissipative quantum mechanics, we investigate the effects of the interaction of the thermal reservoir with an external field. In particular, we discuss how the interaction modifies the conservative dynamics of the central particle, and the mechanism of dissipation. We briefly comment on possible observable consequencies. PACS numbers: 05.30.-d,...

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 ...
