Simulating Oil Entrapment in Clastic Sequences (Computer Methods in the Geosciences)

---

Computing risk for oil prospects: This has caused major corporate restructuring and reductions in staff throughout the industry. Because oil exploration must now be done with fewer people under more difficult economic constraints, it is essential that the most effective and efficient procedures be used. The procedures include analyses of historical data, interpretation of geological and geophysical data, and financial calculations to yield a spectrum of the possible consequences of decisions.

All aspects of petroleum risk assessment are covered, from evaluating regional resources, through delineating an individual prospect, to calculation of the financial consequences of alternative decisions and their possible results.

Simulating Clastic Sedimentation

The bottom lines are given both in terms of the probable volumes of oil that may be discovered and the expected monetary returns. Statistical procedures are linked with computer mapping and interpretation algorithms, which feed their results directly into routines for financial analysis. The programs in the included library of computer programs are tailored to fit seamlessly together, and are designed for ease and simplicity of operation.

Kundrecensioner

The authors contend that the explorationist who develops a prospect should be involved in every facet of its analysis, including risk and financial assessments. This book provides the tools necessary for these tasks. Computer simulation in geology by John Warvelle Harbaugh Book 22 editions published between and in English and Undetermined and held by WorldCat member libraries worldwide The book has a threefold division.

Chapters 1 and 2 deal with 'systems philosophy' and provide an introduction to the classes, uses, and constructions of simulation models. Chapters 3 to 8 deal with the fundamentals of the mathematical and computational 'tools' of simulation. Chapters 9 and 10 deal with applications of the tools to geological problems.

Product description

Five sedimentation models are described in detail in Chapter 9. Other applications are surveyed in Chapter 10, including examples from ecology and paleoecology, evolution and morphology, structural geology, fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, and geochemistry and petrology. The 'tool chapters' Chapters 3 through 8 treat a variety of mathematical techniques that we think have broad application in simulation modeling.

The tools include Chapter 3 generation and application of random variables, Chapter 4 Markov chains, Chapter 5 an introduction to some methods for numerically solving equations, Chapter 6 methods of treating fluid flow and diffusion, Chapter 7 application of elementary control-systems ideas, and Chapter 8 optimization methods. Computer applications in stratigraphic analysis by John Warvelle Harbaugh Book 14 editions published in in English and Undetermined and held by WorldCat member libraries worldwide.

Computer graphics in geology: Advanced three-dimensional computer gra- phics is a new tool for the construction of such views.

Passar bra ihop

The book contains papers presented at the first large interna- tional meeting Freiburg, October , that brought together working groups engaged in development of 3-D visua- lization programs for geologic purposes, and included people fromuniversities, government agencies, the mining industry especially oil companies and from software companies enga- ged in geology and geographic information systems.

Many dif- ferent aspects of using three-dimensional computer graphics are discussed in the papers. Emphasized are different ap- proaches of modeling and rendering a 3-D geometric model, of transforming process simulation results into perspective views, and use of three-dimensional computer-graphics as an additional tool for interpretation and prediction. Prospec- tive readers include geologists and geophysicists from aca- demia, government and industry who should find ideason how to present and interpret their own geological observations and results with the help of three-dimensional computer gra- phics.

Simulating Oil Entrapment in Clastic Sequences

The procedures simulate transport by waves and fluvial processes on beaches and deltas at various scales. They will aid coastal engineers, oceanographers and sedimentary geologists who focus on both modern and ancient nearshore deposits. How do you simulate nearshore processes using a computer?

This volume introduces procedure for simulating migration and entrapment of oil in three dimensions in sequences of sandstines and shales. A principal purpose of the book is to show how simulation experiments can represent oil migration routes and predict places where oil may be trapped in sandstones and shales.

It derives the differential equations used to represent three-dimensional motions of porewater ans oil in sedimentary sequences, and shows how the equations may be transformed into finite form for numerical solution with computers.

There is emphasis in the graphic display of solutions, and results of example theoretical and actual applications are presented. The book is directed to geologists who have backgrounds in mathematics and computing and who are engaged in oil exploration and production.
