Permeability prediction has been a challenge to reservoir engineers due to the lack of tools that measure it directly. The most reliable data of permeability obtained from laboratory measurements on cores do not provide a continuous profile along the depth of the formation. Recently, researchers utilized statistical regression, neural networks, and fuzzy logic to estimate both permeability and ...

DT log is one of the most frequently used wireline logs to determine compression wave velocity. This log is commonly used to gain insight into the elastic and petrophysical parameters of reservoir rocks. Acquisition of DT log is, however, a very expensive and time consuming task. Thus prediction of this log by any means can be a great help by decreasing the amount of money that needs to be allo...

Permeability can be directly measured using cores taken from the reservoir in the laboratory. Due to high cost associated with coring, cores are available in a limited number of wells in a field. Many empirical models, statistical methods, and intelligent techniques were suggested to predict permeability in un-cored wells from easy-to-obtain and frequent data such as wireline logs. The main obj...

As most hydrocarbon discoveries in the Gulf of Suez basin are structural traps, little research has focused on evaluation stratigraphic or combined play region. The Badri field represents one prolific oil and gas fields with a large cumulative production from Miocene Belayim Kareem Reservoirs. However, Middle Baba sandstones is still relatively underexplored when compared to other producing res...

The growing popularity of portable and mobile computing and communication devices along with the introduction of wireline broadband networks is fueling demand for wireless broadband networks. Since ATM has been accepted as the standard for broadband integrated service networks we consider the problem of providing \ATM-like services" to mobile devices. In this paper, we discuss the fundamental i...

Panax Geothermal Limited is developing a geothermal resource in South Australia, the Limestone Coast Project, which is a conventional “hot aquifer” reservoir in a deep sedimentary basin. The initial development is the Pretty Hill Formation sandstones in the Penola Trough of the Otway Basin. The area is an exploited gas basin with modern 3D seismic and excellent existing petroleum well data cove...

Operators worldwide are in various stages of preparing for or deploying IPv6 in their networks. These operators often face difficult challenges related to IPv6 introduction, along with those related to IPv4 run-out. Operators will need to meet the simultaneous needs of IPv6 connectivity and continue support for IPv4 connectivity for legacy devices with a stagnant supply of IPv4 addresses. The I...

SUMMARY An evaluation of prospective shale gas reservoir intervals in the Bowland Shale is presented using a wireline log data set from UK's first exploration well. Accurate identification such crucial determining ideal landing zones for drilling horizontal production wells, but task challenging due to heterogeneous nature mudrocks. This heterogeneity leads stratigraphic variations quality and ...
