Twenty measured blast data from the Golegohar iron mine (southern Iran) were used to generalize nonlinear models for the estimation of dominant frequencies of blast waves using rock mass, explosive ...

Well integrity is defined as the application of technical and operational solutions to reduce the uncontrollable risk of fluids leakage in the well lifetime. In any drilling and production operation, lack of knowledge ...

Designing and optimizing the dimensions of drainage systems is very important for keeping the downstream shells dry and preventing the increase of pore water pressure in the body of earth dams. By optimizing ...

Salt rocks have one of the most complex behaviors among different rock types due to their creep behavior.  Creep in rocks can cause a lot of undesired displacenments imposing tremendeous rehabilitation and maintenance ...

This research aims to construct 3D geophysical models of electrical resistivity and induced polarization by interpolating 2D inverted physical models through the geostatistical approach. The applicability of the ...

In a natural condition, temperature variations and phase transition of pore water are the two most effective factors on the mechanical properties of rocks. Instabilities occurred as a result of climate changes, highlight ...

In this study, a simplified dissolution model has been developed to evaluate the performance of continuous leaching reactors. The model considers continuous reduction of the surface area of particles using the ...

Compared to drag anchors, suction caissons (Q) in clays often provide a cost-effective alternative for jacket structures, catenary, tension leg moorings, and taut leg. In this research, two computational approaches ...

Rock physics models are widely used in hydrocarbon reservoir studies. These models make it possible to simulate a reservoir more accurately and reduce the economic risk of oil and gas exploration. In the current ...

An Open-Pit Production Scheduling (OPPS) problem focuses on specifying block production scheduling to achieve the highest possible Net Present Value (NPV). This paper presents a new mathematical model for OPPS under ...

In this paper, a new method called adaptive bandwidth in the kernel function has been used for two-dimensional upscaling of reservoir data. Bandwidth in the kernel can be considered as a variability parameter in ...
