Porosity and saturation are fundamental sedimentary properties that affect both seismic wave propagation and appraisal development and production of an oil field. Traditionally, these parameters have been estimated from seismic impedances and velocities using Biot-Gassman theory and/or or porosity-velocity relationships. However, when using theory to relate surface seismic attributes to reservo...

This theoretical study determines the aerodynamic loads on an aerofoil with a prescribed porosity distribution in a steady incompressible flow. A Darcy porosity condition on the aerofoil surface furnishes a Fredholm integral equation for the pressure distribution, which is solved exactly and generally as a Riemann-Hilbert problem provided that the porosity distribution is Hölder-continuous. The...

Introduction: Most asteroids for which porosities have been inferred have porosities ranging from 20% to >50%, with a mean of ~30% porosity [1]. Porosity significantly affects the physical properties of rocks, including the strength, thermal conductivity, seismic velocity, and dielectric permeability. Some asteroids have high enough porosities to affect their internal structure, gravitational f...

The P10 well is located offshore, in the Northern part of Rio Del Rey basin southwest Cameroon. Although most prolific coastal Cameroon given production results from several fields southern part, yet it remains very little explored its northern part. This work evaluation petroleum potential Basin using a combination "Quick Look" interpretation logs recorded and "compl...

Assessment of the reservoir structure and determination of theinsitu stress direction arenecessary in oil production optimization andfield development. Today, the application of reservoir software and Image logsplay a central role in resolving this problem. Electricand ultrasonic imaging tools record vast amounts of high-resolution data within the borehole wall. This enables the geoscientists t...

A fractal is an object or a structure that is self-similar in all length scales. Fractal geometry is an excellent mathematical tool used in the study of irregular geometric objects. The concept of the fractal dimension, D, as a measure of complexity is defined. The concept of fractal geometry is closely linked to scale invariance, and it provides a framework for the analysis of natural phenomen...

We show a new game characterizing various types of σ-porosity for Souslin sets in terms of winning strategies. We use the game to prove and reprove some new and older inscribing theorems for σ-ideals of σ-porous type in locally compact metric spaces.

The determination of porosity heterogeneity within hydrocarbon reservoirs is important because cost-effective, efficient production of hydrocarbons depends on accurate knowledge of reserve estimates, and hydrocarbon distribution. A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, based on the conical SPRITE (Single-Point Ramped Imaging with T1 Enhancement) MRI method is capable of revealing the ...

In compressive fracture of dry plexiform bone, we examine the individual roles of overall mean porosity, the connectivity of the porosity network, and the elastic as well as the failure properties of the nonporous matrix, using a random spring network model (RSNM). Porosity network structure is shown to reduce the compressive strength by up to 30%. However, the load-bearing capacity increases w...
