The source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. The source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the Storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (Middle Jurassic Great Oolite Formation, Weald Basin, onshore UK) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...

I will start this treatise with a history of two major themes in data integration. In my opinion, the topic began with the major retailers in the 1990s consolidating their sales data into a data warehouse. To do this they needed to extract data from in-store sales systems, transform it into a predefined common representation (think of this as a global schema), and then load it into a data wareh...

In order to automate the scooping task, it is desirable that the resistive force acting on the bucket be obtained before the scooping is performed. The objective of this study is to derive theoretically the resistive forces acting on the bucket during scooping of piled rock fragments. First, the changes in the shape of the rock pile due to the penetration of it by the bucket are modeled. Based ...

The definition of pre-Messinian source rocks in the eastern Mediterranean is paramount importance for hydrocarbon exploration because ability salt to act as a high-quality seal rock. This research evaluates organic geochemical features Upper Miocene (Tortonian—Messinian) sedimentary succession onshore Crete Island, Greece. study employs original (Messinian, Agios Myron Fm) and published (Torton...

Maastrichtian and Paleocene shales recovered from a vertical exploratory well on the western flank of Niger Delta Basin, close to boundary Dahomey (Benin) were studied for their possible contribution hydrocarbon potential basin. The organic matter richness, kerogen types, thermal maturity shale samples implications generation determined based results TOC/Rock-Eval analysis. are characterized by...

Abstract An extensive subsurface investigation evaluating the geothermal energy resources and underground thermal storage potential is being carried out in southwestern part of Swiss Molasse Basin around Geneva Canton. Among this process, evaluation petroleum source-rock type an important step to understand system responsible some oil gas shows at surface subsurface. This study provides a first...
