Abstract:
The features of cartographic supporting geophysical research at the present stage of cartography and exploration geophysics development are discussed. The current situation and prospects of using GIS and web technologies are characterized basing on the analysis of scientific and industrial experience of domestic and foreign public as well as private geological and geophysical organizations. The analysis was performed at key stages of geophysical research, including the analysis of geological and geophysical studying the work area, designing geophysical works, field works, processing and interpretation of geophysical observations results, compilation of reporting materials, as well as the accumulation and storage of information. The examples of modern geoportals that provide quick access to geological and geophysical infor-mation in various forms of presentation, including cartographic data, are presented in article. The conclusions and recommendations were formulated according to results of the study. They are aimed at improving the efficiency of cartographic supporting geophysical research and the development of inter-sectoral interaction between cartography and geophysics.

Abstract:
The results of the works undertaken by students on practical classes and during educational practices have been discussed. Causes and difficulties in student learning of exploratory geophysics have been analyzed. It has been found a deficiency in practical skills of future engineers relevant to the work with geophysical facilities and equipment and further mental processing of the measured parameters of natural and artificial geophysical fields. A brief description has been given for improvements in the methodology of teaching geophysics to future geology and geoecology engineers via inclusion of practical works with geophysical equipment on the test site on the Zorge Street with tasks linked to engineering-geological cross-section study and mapping underground infrastructure on the given area. There are some other examples of student involvement in solution of geophysical tasks on the objects of educational geophysical practices with subsequent detailed geological and geophysical interpretation.

Abstract:
This review assesses the contributions and impact that GEOPHYSICS journal has made to both the theory and the applications of exploration geophysics during its publication life span. The contributions are evaluated first on the basis of Journal Citation Reports data, which summarize information available since 1975 about the impact factor of our journal. The impact factor for GEOPHYSICS in 1975–2002 has ranged between 1.461 and 0.591, with an average of 0.924 and with a relative ranking between 16 and 45 for all journals in its category. The journal receiving the highest impact factor for the period 2000–2003 in the “Geochemistry and Geophysics” category is Reviews of Geophysics, with an average impact factor of 7.787 and which ranged between 9.226 and 6.083. A second and important criterion is the frequency with which individual papers published in GEOPHYSICS have been cited elsewhere. This information is available for the entire publication history of GEOPHYSICS and supports the choices made for the early classic papers. These were listed in both the Silver and the Golden Anniversary issues of GEOPHYSICS. In August 2004, the five most-cited papers in GEOPHYSICS published in the time period 1936 to February 2003 are Thomsen (1986) with 423 citations, Constable et al. (1987) with 380 citations, Cagniard (1953) with 354 citations, Sen et al. (1981) with 313 citations, and Stolt (1978) with 307 citations. Fifteen more papers exceed a threshold value of 200 citations. During 2000–2002, GEOPHYSICS, Geophysical Prospecting, Geophysical Journal International, and Journal of Applied Geophysics were the four journals with the highest number of citations of papers published in GEOPHYSICS. In the same 2000–2002 period, those journals in which papers published in GEOPHYSICS are cited most are GEOPHYSICS, Geophysical Prospecting, Geophysical Journal International, and Journal of Geophysical Research. During 1985, the total number of citations in all journals in the Science Citation Index database to papers published in GEOPHYSICS was 2657. By 2002, this same citation count for GEOPHYSICS had increased to 4784.

Abstract:
The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost‐efficiency has taken over as a driving force in the economics of the oil and gas industry and as major assets near abandonment, geophysics has increasingly been recognized as a tool for improving the bottom line closer to the wellhead. The reliability of geophysical surveys, particularly seismic, has greatly reduced the risk associated with drilling wells in existing fields, and the ability to add geophysical constraints to statistical models has provided a mechanism for directly delivering geophysical results to the reservoir engineer.

Abstract:
Most authors of GEOPHYSICS papers are from universities or government research institutions. That does not mean no interesting research is being done by the oil or geophysical industry. In the current competitive age, it is apparently difficult for geophysicists from the industry to find time to write elaborate papers for GEOPHYSICS. Therefore, the GEOPHYSICS editors have decided to encourage authors from the oil and geophysical industry to submit high-quality papers. SEG Editor Gerard T. Schuster asked me to develop a shorter route for such papers that have at least one author from the industry.

Abstract:
In the oil and gas industry, the geophysics bears the most knowledge-intensive and high-tech activity. The results of geophysical studies underlie the search, exploration and development of oil and gas fields. It is impossible to effectively drill, operate and repair wells without it. Success in the development of technology and technology in geophysics depends on the level of academic and industrial science, the effectiveness of the education system, and the intellectual training of personnel. The paper provides a historical insight into the era of geophysical research from the beginning of the last century to the present day. The current state and prospects of further development of the geophysical industry as the basis of Ukraine’s energy independence are analyzed. The main reasons for the negative state of affairs in Ukrainian geophysics are as follows: loss of professionalism, lack of high-quality basic education, lack of funding and short-sighted decision-making.

Thus, a review of advertisements provides an eclectic history of geophysics. The following is the view obtained from advertisements alone. The dates cited are usually when ads for innovations first appeared. New features often had been applied earlier, before they were advertised.

Full text
Abstract:

The first part of my thesis is mainly focused on the effect of grain size distribution on compaction localization in porous sandstone. To identify the microstructural parameters that influence compaction band formation, I conducted a systematic study of mechanical deformation, failure mode and microstructural evolution in Bleurswiller and Boise sandstones, of similar porosity (∼25%) and mineralogy but different sorting. Discrete compaction bands were observed to develop over a wide range of pressure in the Bleurswiller sandstone that has a relatively uniform grain size distribution. In contrast, compaction localization was not observed in the poorly sorted Boise sandstone. My results demonstrate that grain size distribution exerts important influence on compaction band development, in agreement with recently published data from Valley of Fire and Buckskin Gulch, as well as numerical studies.

The second part aimed to improve current knowledge on inelastic behavior, failure mode and brittle-ductile transition in another sedimentary rock, porous carbonates. A micritic Tavel (porosity of ∼13%) and an allochemical Indiana (∼18%) limestones were deformed under compaction in wet and dry conditions. At lower confining pressures, shear localization occurred in brittle faulting regime. Through transitional regime, the deformation switched to cataclastic flow regime at higher confining pressure. Specifically in the cataclastic regime, the (dry and wet) Tavel and dry Indiana failed by distributed cataclastic flow, while in contrast, wet Indiana failed as compaction localization. My results demonstrate that different failure modes and mechanical behaviors under different deformation regimes and water saturation are fundamental prior to any geophysical application in porous carbonates.

The third part aimed to focus on investigating compaction on quartz aggregate starting at low (MPa) using X-ray diffraction. We report the diffraction peak evolution of quartz with increasing pressures. Through evaluating the unit cell lattice parameters and the volume of the quartz sample, macroscopic stress and strain were resolved. Moreover, we observed quartz peak broadened asymmetrically at low pressure, such extent is more prominent in axial than in radial direction. Our evaluation on peak [101] (highest intensity among peaks) demonstrated that full width at half maximum can be a good proxy for microscopic stress distribution. We observed deviations in the pressure-volume curves at P = ∼0.4 GPa and speculated that it was the point of which onset of grain crushing and pore collapse occur in quartz. This is on the same order of which onset of grain crushing (commonly known as P*) is observed in sandstones in the rock mechanics literature. This demonstrated that there is potential in estimating grain crushing and pore collapse pressure with our technique.

Perez, Altimar Roderick. "Brittleness estimation from seismic measurements in unconventional reservoirs| Application to the Barnett shale." Thesis, The University of Oklahoma, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3617030.

Full text
Abstract:

Brittleness is a key characteristic for effective reservoir stimulation and is mainly controlled by mineralogy in unconventional reservoirs. Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted means of predicting brittleness from measures made in wells or from surface seismic data. Brittleness indices (BI) are based on mineralogy, while brittleness average estimations are based on Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. I evaluate two of the more popular brittleness estimation techniques and apply them to a Barnett Shale seismic survey in order to estimate its geomechanical properties. Using specialized logging tools such as elemental capture tool, density, and P- and S wave sonic logs calibrated to previous core descriptions and laboratory measurements, I create a survey-specific BI template in Young's modulus versus Poisson's ratio or alternatively λρ versus μρ space. I use this template to predict BI from elastic parameters computed from surface seismic data, providing a continuous estimate of BI estimate in the Barnett Shale survey. Extracting λρ-μρ values from microseismic event locations, I compute brittleness index from the template and find that most microsemic events occur in the more brittle part of the reservoir. My template is validated through a suite of microseismic experiments that shows most events occurring in brittle zones, fewer events in the ductile shale, and fewer events still in the limestone fracture barriers.

Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is an estimate of the expected total production of oil and/or gas for the economic life of a well and is widely used in the evaluation of resource play reserves. In the literature it is possible to find several approaches for forecasting purposes and economic analyses. However, the extension to newer infill wells is somewhat challenging because production forecasts in unconventional reservoirs are a function of both completion effectiveness and reservoir quality. For shale gas reservoirs, completion effectiveness is a function not only of the length of the horizontal wells, but also of the number and size of the hydraulic fracture treatments in a multistage completion. These considerations also include the volume of proppant placed, proppant concentration, total perforation length, and number of clusters, while reservoir quality is dependent on properties such as the spatial variations in permeability, porosity, stress, and mechanical properties. I evaluate parametric methods such as multi-linear regression, and compare it to a non-parameteric ACE to better correlate production to engineering attributes for two datasets in the Haynesville Shale play and the Barnett Shale. I find that the parametric methods are useful for an exploratory analysis of the relationship among several variables and are useful to guide the selection of a more sophisticated parametric functional form, when the underlying functional relationship is unknown. Non-parametric regression, on the other hand, is entirely data-driven and does not rely on a pre-specified functional forms. The transformations generated by the ACE algorithm facilitate the identification of appropriate, and possibly meaningful, functional forms.

Abstract:
The problem of turbulent ow in a rough pipe of arbitrary shape is considered. The classical Izakson-Millikan argument for a logarithmic velocity profile is presented, and matched asymptotic expansions are introduced. Scaled, dimensionless equations are produced and simplified. A simple mixing length turbulence model is presented, which closes the problem. To calibrate the model, the mechanical problem is solved in the case of a circular pipe. Excellent agreement with engineering relations is obtained. The mechanical problem for a non-circular pipe is posed, and the boundary layer problem is solved. This leaves unknown the wall stress, which is sought through approximate methods of solution in the outer region. These are presented and the approximate solutions thus obtained are compared to full numerical solutions and data for a square, elliptical, and semi-elliptical pipe. The approximations are vindicated, but agreement between the numerical solutions and data is only moderate. Discrepancies are explained in terms of the neglected secondary ow. The thermal problem is posed, with scalings taken for intended application in glaciology. The problem is solved for a circular pipe. Heat transfer results are presented and compared with empirical relations. The general problem for a non-circular pipe is posed, and approximate methods of solution are motivated, in analogy to those used for the mechanical problem. These are used to obtain approximate solutions, which are compared with numerical solutions, to good agreement. Possible applications of these solutions are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
In Western Canada, oil and natural gas pipeline projects are being considered that will move hydrocarbons from the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia, to the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic, and even potentially the Arctic. Along the proposed right-of-ways, the pipeline engineers will encounter challenging and varied terrain, including discontinuous permafrost, creek and river crossings, glaciomarine clays, thick muskeg, and other subsurface conditions that require specialized engineering planning in advance of construction. Geophysical surveys, in support of geotechnical investigations, provide continuous subsurface information to help inform design challenges associated with the many terrain challenges. Some geophysical surveys to be considered include electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), induced polarization (IP), seismic refraction, seismic reflection, multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and borehole geophysics. Typically, a combination of several geophysical surveys along with drilling information, are optimal for the cost-effective site characterization of problematic segments of proposed pipeline right-of-ways.

Full text
Abstract:
The cost, design, and in some instances, feasibility of directional drilling large diameter or lengthy pipeline river crossings is primarily dependent on ground conditions encountered during construction. Geotechnical investigations are commonly used to explore and assess subsurface conditions at proposed crossings. Ground conditions are determined using borehole drilling and near surface geophysics. Borehole drilling provides subsurface sediment stratigraphy and depth to bedrock information. Geophysics is used to provide information between borehole locations or where borehole drilling is determined to be too difficult or too costly. When used to augment borehole results, geophysical surveys provide more complete geologic cross-section models throughout the length of a proposed directional drill path. This paper presents an overview of the more common geophysical methodologies used to profile subsurface conditions at proposed pipeline crossings. The methods discussed include ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic refraction profiling and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The appropriateness and feasibility of each method is discussed in terms relating to investigation objectives of geotechnical and pipeline design engineers. All three methods were applied to two survey lines at a typical river crossing site on the Bow River, downstream from Calgary, Alberta. Results from the overlapping surveys are presented and the capabilities and limitations for each method compared. Borehole information obtained within the survey area is used to corroborate the interpreted geophysical results.
