    Comparison 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

    Thesis (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

    Groundwater level dynamics in a subtropical fan delta region and its future prediction using machine learning tools: Sustainable groundwater restoration

    Study region: The Damodar Fan Delta, West Bengal, India. Study focus: The depletion of groundwater resources worldwide is escalating due to its profuse demand for drinking, irrigation, domestic, and industrial uses. Overexploitation of groundwater in a subtropical fan delta region with rapid population growth like the Damodar Fan Delta in India is of great concern for sustainable mapping, monitoring, and managing water resources. During 2000–2020, the Damodar Fan Delta portrayed an increase in semi-critical community development blocks, implying a decline in groundwater level. To this end, the present study intends to show the groundwater level dynamics including its future prediction, using machine learning algorithms based on the seasonal groundwater level data from 2013‐14 to 2020‐21 for 30 wells. New hydrological insights for the region: Post-monsoon kharif and rabi depicted a higher fall rate in the groundwater level compared to the pre-monsoon and monsoon periods. Future predictions using the best-fit model indicated an increasing trend in the depth of groundwater levels in the future (2025–26). The extreme gradient boost regressor appeared to be the best model, while the decision tree regressor was the worst performer. The major controlling factors of groundwater level dynamics were decreasing rainfall and increasing groundwater abstraction due to population growth and increased demand for irrigation, domestic, and industrial water

    Study region: Multiple gauging stations of the Brahmani River Basin, India. Study focus: This study provides an understanding of sediment transport complexities in monsoon-type rivers and supports informed decision-making for effective river management and environmental conservation. It also underscores the impact of surface landscape, the management of reservoirs and the role of anthropogenic impacts on sediment transport dynamics. New hydrological insights for the region: River discharge and sediment concentration are measured at four gauging stations of Brahmani River: Tilga, Panposh, Gomlai, and Jenapur. The first three are located in the upper reaches above the Rengali Dam, while Jenapur is in the plain area below the dam. The analysis reveals diverse correlations for fine sediment (0.2 mm) displays logarithmic correlations at Panposh and Gomlai. Total sediment concentrations showcase both linear and logarithmic relationships at Tilga and Panposh, indicating the complexity of sediment-transport dynamics. The study unveils compelling relationships between river discharge and total sediment load (MT/day), with notable power-lla correlations at Gomlai, emphasising the influence of river discharge variations on sediment transport quantity. It underscores the impact of surface geology, the location of reservoirs and the role of anthropogenic interventions on sediment dynamics
