Facility deliverables include best-in-class OFDP workflows and technology innovation (Elrafie et al. 2010) through synergized reservoir characterization, reservoir understanding, simulation, and modeling. Intelligent-Field...

...-signature data. The methods were tested in a laboratory environment using a hydraulic system with simulated clogging and leaking mechanisms. Leak detection was performed using both signature-matching and mass-balance methods. The results showed a mean accuracy of 93% for mass-balance method and 82...

... for emergency actions and for impact evaluation on the industrial site itself and its vicinity. For that purpose, a modeling platform is being developed and applied to simulate in real time the atmospheric dispersion of a hazardous substance at the scale of the industrial site and also of its surroundings...

...Kamran Akbarzadeh; John Ratulowski; Dmitry Eskin; Tara Davies Summary Conventional practices for estimating the amount of deposited wax in pipelines are usually based on predictions made with simulation packages using limited stock-tank-oil (STO) deposition data collected under laminar-flow...

... was wind power, with the analysis showing that in windy regions such as the Texas Panhandle, wind-generated-power costs are lower than those associated with diesel-fuel generation. The number of possible simulations from this table is 720 (number of sizes per equipment considered). However, some...

...B. J. A. Willigers; R. B. Bratvold Summary Least-squares Monte Carlo (LSM) simulation is a promising new technique for valuing real options that has received little or no attention in the oil and gas industry. In this paper, we will demonstrate how LSM simulation can handle more-realistic valuation...

... estimation approach that is generally applicable and requires simulation of stress time series. The cycle-counting approach requires more computation than spectral methods. Damage estimates using the cycle-counting method may be lower than spectral damage estimates; however, a substantial amount...

The objectives of this study were to assess the incremental impacts of produced water discharges on dissolved oxygen in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and to evaluate the significance of these discharges relative to loadings from the MRB. Predictive simulations were conducted with three existing models of Gulf...
