The similarities and differences in reservoir engineering in the geothermal and petroleum industries are not familiar to many. This unfamiliarity frequently leads to aberrant perception of the risks and rewards of geothermal development in the minds of developers and financiers who are accustomed to the petroleum industry but are new to geothermal. This paper is a comparative survey of the stat...

Effective and careful research has been performed by the Section of Mechanics Teaching and Research, Southwest Petroleum University on the content, status, student characteristics of the non-mechanical and non-civil-engineering engineering mechanics course system. Reform ideas and measures, which are also applicable to other common colleges, have been suggested in the course content and course ...

Multiphase ow simulation with various nonhomogeneous boundary conditions in ground water hydrology and petroleum engineering is considered The phase ow equations are given in a fractional ow formulation i e in terms of a saturation and a global pressure It is shown that most commonly used boundary conditions for groundwater hydrology and petroleum engineering problems can be incorporated into t...

Artificial neural networks are rapidly gaining popularity. This paper discusses the importance of this new tool to petroleum engineers, and the advantages that this computing process has over other conventional methods. The mechanics by which neural networks achieve their objective are also discussed. Artificial neural networks can assist petroleum engineers in solving some fundamental petroleu...
