This is a systematic literature review of quantitative sustainability assessments, focusing on life cycle assessment (LCSA), bio-mediated and bio-inspired ground improvement technologies applied to geologic hazard mitigation. The aims the are 1) compare various techniques and, 2) evaluate rigor consistency methods these techniques. considers studies identified through keyword searches bibliogra...

Abstract Because of their extreme heterogeneity at multiple scales, carbonate rocks present a great challenge for studying and managing oil reservoirs. Depositional processes diagenetic alterations carbonates may have produced very complex pore structures and, consequently, variable fluid storage flow properties hydrocarbon To understand the impact mineralogy on system, we analyzed four rock sa...

Abstract Increased frequency of extreme weather events has made the conservation riverbanks and coastlines a global concern. Soil stabilisation via microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is one most eco-suitable candidates for improving resilience against erosion. In this study, erosion characteristics soil treated with various levels biocementation are investigated. The samples were ...

The Carboniferous reservoir KT-II layer in the Eastern margin of Pre-Caspian Basin was formed open platform sedimentary environment and marked by a complicated pore-throats structure. Understanding main controls on carbonate quality is great significance for classification relevant production prediction. This study focuses revealing structure’s fractal characteristics analyzing mercury intrusio...

The present study focuses on facies analysis and the reservoir characteristics of the Asmari Formation in the Aghajari oilfield (located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt, southwest Iran), and how they are linked to depositional environments and reservoir characteristics. This formation consists of about 380 m carbonates with some siliciclastic intercalations. Based on the integration of 1200 m of...

The current study applies a soft-computing approach based on the gradient boosting method to predict unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of sands treated with microbially-induced calcite precipitation (MICP). A 10-fold cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning are performed find optimal architecture algorithm. total 402 data compression tests biocemented utilized in this study. dataset inclu...

Heavy metal contamination is listed among the most alarming threats to environment and human health. The detrimental effects of heavy metals in natural span from a reduction biodiversity toxic on marine life—through microplastic born metals, impairment microbial activity soil, animal reproduction. A host different chemical biological technologies have been proposed alleviate environmental by me...

The microscopic structure of low-permeability tight reservoirs is complicated due to diagenetic processes that impact the pore-fluid distribution and hydraulic properties rocks. As part an ongoing study carbon dioxide-enhanced oil gas recovery (CO2-EOR/EGR) CO2 sequestration, this research article adopts integrated approach investigate contribution micropore system in sandstones. A new dimensio...

The lacustrine shale in the Dongyuemiao Member of Fuling area, Sichuan Basin, is widely distributed and has huge oil resource potential. It one important replacement areas for exploration China. To investigate key evaluation well, Well FY10, X-ray diffraction (XRD) mineral analysis, Rock-Eval, argon ion polishing-scanning electron microscope (SEM), Mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP), l...
