The Sierra Diablo provide unique exposures of Lower Permian carbonate platforms, in which sequence stratigraphic analysis based on three-dimensional stratal geometries can be integrated with conventional one-dimensional ...

A distinguishing characteristic of naturally fractured reservoirs is that fractures have high permeability with very small pore volume while the matrix blocks between fractures have low permeability with large pore volume. ...

Fluids are episodically expulsed from extremely overpressured sediments during natural hydrofracturing events and discharge vertically along regional fault zones in the Rio Grande Embayment. The basal 9 km (29,500 ft) of ...

A new probabilistic load flow (PLF) model for calculating the reliability of large nonequivalenced electric networks with transmission constraints is given. Generation loss of load probability (LOLP) and expected unserved ...

This dissertation presents an investigation of climatic and tectonic controls on Quaternary eolian sedimentary sequences of the Chott Rharsa Basin on the northern margin of the Sahara Desert, in southern Tunisia. This ...

The main objectives of this work were the development of the partitioning interwell tracer test for estimation of nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturation in saturated porous media, performance assessment of surfactant ...

The hydrogeologic systems of the Eagle Flat and Red Light basins of Trans-Pecos are characterized by three-dimensional flow components, fracture and double-porosity flow, hydrochemically zoned water in alternating permeable ...
