in this work, studies of underground gas storage (ugs) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. results showed that di...

Rock selection in modeling and simulation studies is usually based on two techniques; routinely defined rock types and those defined by special core analysis (SCAL). The challenge in utilizing these two techniques is that they are frequently assumed to be the same, but in practice, static rock-types (routinely defined) are not always representative of dynamic rock-types (SCAL defined) in the re...

least squares method (lsm) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical andnumerical problems. this method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well testanalysis. in fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and porevolume (vp). regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified muskatmethod, interferenc...

thermo-elasto-plastic analyses of thick-walled spherical tanks made of functionally graded materials are investigated analytically. these tanks are subjected to positive or negative temperature gradient and internal pressure loadings separately or simultaneously. the power law modeling has been used for through-the-thickness variation of mechanical properties. von mises yield criterion and elas...

Withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. Reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. Usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

Several morphological parameters based on the central aortic pressure waveform are proposed as cardiovascular risk markers, yet no study has definitively demonstrated the incremental value of any waveform parameter in addition to currently accepted biomarkers in elderly, hypertensive patients. The reservoir-wave concept combines elements of wave transmission and Windkessel models of arterial pr...

Reliable and sufficient welltest data is necessary for the evaluation of reservoir properties and well performance. Best results a r e usually obtained by monitoring downhole pressure and flow rate continuously during a transient test. However, a recurring problem for geothermal welltests has been the failure of the downhole pressure instrument in the high temperatures and hostile environments,...

In this paper by using numerical evaluation the effect of balancing drupes of water hammer on tunnels lining is considered. In case of not arrangment of these reservoirs, the tunnel lining will be damaged of cyclic powers of water hammer. In this research, function of balancing reservoir of water hammer on cover of tunnels to the barriers’ turbine is simulated by numerical methods and Plaxis 3D...

Central augmentation pressure (AP) and index (AIx) predict cardiovascular events and mortality, but underlying physiological mechanisms remain disputed. While traditionally believed to relate to wave reflections arising from proximal arterial impedance (and stiffness) mismatching, recent evidence suggests aortic reservoir function may be a more dominant contributor to AP and AIx. Our aim was th...

In present study, the effect of reservoir length on seismic performance of concrete gravity dam has been investigated. Monte Carlo probabilistic analysis has been used to achieve a sensitivity of the responses to variation of truncated reservoir length in finite element model. The ANSYS software based on finite element method is applied for modeling and analysis. The Pine Flat dam in California...
