Comparison of Reservoir Simulation Techniques for Gas Reservoirs: Semi-Analytical Tank Flow Model Approach versus Finite Volume Solutions
No full textComparison of Reservoir Simulation Techniques for Gas Reservoirs: Semi-Analytical Tank Flow Model Approach versus Finite Volume SolutionsMehmet Onur Doğan a, Tayfun Jamalbayli* a, Mahammad Jamalbayov ba Middle East Technical University, Turkey b SOCAR "OilGasScientificResearchProject" Institute, Azerbaijan * Corresponding author: [email protected]: Numerical Model Development; Reservoir Simulation; Reservoir Modeling; Gas Condensate Reservoirs; Reservoir EngineeringThis research introduces a hybrid approach for reservoir simulation and explores its practical utility within the context of gas condensate reservoirs. The study assesses the strengths and weaknesses of this approach by comparing it to the conventional two-phase gas condensate model that employs the finite volume method. The methodology utilizes material balance equations to compute the average reservoir pressure and saturation. These computed values are subsequently applied across the reservoir using an analytical flow model, while taking into consideration well placements. This results in the development of a semi-analytical simulation approach. In addition, the finite volume model is also created as a benchmark model for comparative purposes, including IMPES and Fully Implicit solutions. The validity of the finite volume model is established through a comparison with Eclipse simulation software. The proposed simulation approach calculates pressure and saturation distributions that exhibit notable deviations from the results of the finite volume method, particularly struggling to accurately represent the region near the wellbore in terms of saturation. However, it excels in terms of computational efficiency and outperforms traditional methods in terms of speed. To enhance this approach, a future recommendation involves integrating the pressure distribution derived from the hybrid method with traditional saturation calculations. This integration has the potential to rectify discrepancies in saturation distribution while retaining the method's speed advantages. In summary, the hybrid reservoir simulation method presents a promising innovation for reservoir simulation techniques. The outcomes of the study provide a pathway to address these limitations, ultimately paving the way for a more efficient reservoir simulation tool

No full textThesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1984.MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCHIncludes bibliographical references (p. 104).This thesis deals with the physical design of urban public housing projects. To meet the objectives stated in the preface, the following issues were addressed: The social hierarchy of the community; the administration of the settlement; the maintenance and operation of the settlements; and finally the users' control and responsibility over the land. This thesis is a study of the settlements of Afghan refugees in Pakistan. It mainly focuses on the conditions and problems of the physical environment in the refugee camps. Although its primary objective is to identify and evaluate settlement issues in the physical context, an attempt is made to highlight related social, political, and economic factors affecting the situation. The study is based on data, information, and documents collected by the author through research work carried out in the refugee camps in Pakistan in the summer of 1983. This included visits to five different refugee locations in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan, and five weeks of field work in the Nadir Bath refugee camp in Peshawar, Pakistan. This work represents a study of the general refugee situation in Pakistan in order to provide a comprehensive view of the overall circumstances, since the study of a particular refugee location may not demonstrate a clear picture of the whole situation. This study comprises two main parts: a) A description and evaluation of the existing situation of the refugee settlements, the relief work, and the processes involved in particular sectoral activities, b) the identification of major problems. Background information materials are included in each section and in the appendix. The study is intended to provide documents/guidelines for reference and information for those involved in present and future refugee situations.by Mohammad Najim Azadzoi.M.S

A comprehensive review of various environmental factors’ roles in remote sensing techniques for assessing surface water quality
No full textThe aim of the research was to evaluate the existing remote sensing (RS) products, various tools and techniques, and their limitations in retrieving the optically active (OA) Chlorophyll-a (CHL) concentration from transitional, coastal and inland waters. In recent decades, satellite RS technique has emerged as a vital tool for assessing surface water quality (WQ) in a cost-effective and timely manner. Initially used in the 1970s to study ocean color (OC), RS techniques have advanced significantly, enabling the retrieval of key WQ indicators like CHL, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), total suspended matter (TSM), turbidity (TURB), and more from satellite images. Among these indicators, CHL is particularly important as it directly signifies eutrophication. While RS technique has been reliable in estimating CHL concentrations in open waterbodies (case1 water) such as oceans, it’s application in shallow, turbid waters (case2 water) like coastal and inland areas faces challenges. Interference from other OA-WQ indicators like CDOM and TSM, coupled with environmental factors such as atmospheric components, sun-glint, and adjacency effects (AE), complicate the accurate CHL estimation. To address these challenges, researchers have developed four categories of CHL retrieval algorithms: empirical, semi-empirical, hybrid and data-driven models. Empirical and data-driven methods are straightforward but require regional calibration for accuracy, whereas semi-empirical approaches, rooted in solid theoretical foundations, demand extensive ancillary optical measurements. To harness the potential of RS in WQ assessment fully, it is essential to optimize these algorithms regionally, tailoring them to the specific optical characteristics of diverse waterbodies. This optimization process is vital for integrating RS technique as a complementary data source alongside traditional monitoring approach. By addressing the impact of environmental factors and fine-tuning CHL retrieval methods according to regional nuances, satellite RS technique can significantly enhance the reliability and effectiveness of surface WQ evaluation, thereby contributing to more informed and efficient water resource management strategies. This review emphasizes the impact of these factors, categorizes CHL retrieval algorithms into empirical, semi-empirical, hybrid and data-driven methods and applicability in terms of tools/models’ reliability and challenges for the further advancement of this approaches for monitoring transitional, coastal and inland waters. To optimize the reliability of remotely sensed CHL data, regional configuration(s) of retrieving algorithms is vital. By addressing these challenges and tailoring methods to specific regions, integrating satellite RS into traditional monitoring approaches can significantly enhance surface WQ assessment.This research was funded by the Hardiman Research Scholarship of the University of Galway, which funded the first author as part of his PhD program.

This article is posted here by permission of American Society for Clinical Investigation for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Journal of Clinical Investigation 123 (2013): 1964–1975, doi:10.1172/JCI66387.Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is an early-onset neurological disorder caused by mutations in the GAN gene (encoding for gigaxonin), which is predicted to be an E3 ligase adaptor. In GAN, aggregates of intermediate filaments (IFs) represent the main pathological feature detected in neurons and other cell types, including patients’ dermal fibroblasts. The molecular mechanism by which these mutations cause IFs to aggregate is unknown. Using fibroblasts from patients and normal individuals, as well as Gan–/– mice, we demonstrated that gigaxonin was responsible for the degradation of vimentin IFs. Gigaxonin was similarly involved in the degradation of peripherin and neurofilament IF proteins in neurons. Furthermore, proteasome inhibition by MG-132 reversed the clearance of IF proteins in cells overexpressing gigaxonin, demonstrating the involvement of the proteasomal degradation pathway. Together, these findings identify gigaxonin as a major factor in the degradation of cytoskeletal IFs and provide an explanation for IF aggregate accumulation, the subcellular hallmark of this devastating human disease.This work was
