Quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) for surface water flood forecasting
… system. The development of a dynamic surface water management system, based on the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) and coupled with a real-time extreme rainfall forecasting system, is currently in the design phase in the North Glasgow Area. Critical to the design's success …

Modeling Offset-Dependent Reflectivity for Time-Lapse Monitoring of Water-Flood Production in Thin-Layered Reservoirs
… the production of the field. Generally, the water-flood changes the AVO by decreasing the intercept and increasing the gradient from the in-situ oil/gas cases. The relative changes in both intercept and gradient due to the water-flood are detectable assuming a 20% relative-change detection …

Flood pulse influences on exploited fish populations of the Central Amazon
Seasonally fluctuating water levels, known as flood pulses, influence the population dynamics and catches of fishes from river-floodplains. Although different measures of flood pulses, here called flood pulse variables, have been correlated to changes in catches of river-floodplain fishes, the …

Numerical simulation and optimisation of polymer flooding in a heterogenous reservoir : constrained versus unconstrained optimisation
Polymer flooding offers the potential to recover more oil from reservoirs but requires significant investments which necessitate a robust analysis of economic upsides and downsides. Key uncertainties in designing a polymer flood are often reservoir geology and polymer degradation. The objective of …

Data Integration and Reservoir Characterization of the Pennsylvanian Bartlesville Sandstone
… into other recovery methods, including polymer flooding and horizontal drilling. Success of these programs is dependent upon accurate characterization of the reservoir. Because most of the drilling occurred many decades ago, much of the data associated with this field predates electric well …

Improvement of Carbon Dioxide EOR in Water-Wet Reservoirs by Using Active Carbonated Water
… in the reservoir. Particularly in strongly water-wet reservoirs, a significant trapping of oil by water occurs after CO2 flood due to water blocking effect. To overcome the effect of water blocking, carbonated water flood is considered. In this thesis, a new injection strategy is proposed to …

Making climate adaptation work : strategies for resource constrained South Asian mega-cities
… posed by climate change, particularly in the water sector. Drawing on the theories of "adaptation as development" and cross-case analyses of ongoing planning initiatives in these two bellwether cities, this dissertation explores the factors that promote or hinder successful climate action. …

Carbon Dioxide Flooding Induced Geochemical Changes in a Saline Carbonate Aquifer
… into a saline aquifer makes the formation water slightly acidic, which reacts with the host rock to dissolve carbonate minerals. Dissolution of carbonate minerals may compromise the integrity of the formation, leading to the eventual escape of CO2 to the surface. In order for CO2 …

The relationship of Permian San Andres facies to the distribution of porosity and permeability in the ODC field, Gaines County, Texas.
… field produces from 800 net acres involved in a water-flood injection program initiated in 1969. The primary reservoirs are dolomitic carbonates in the Permian San Andres Formation. Since the flooding was initiated, 836,043 barrels of crude oil have been produced from an average reservoir depth …

CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: Network Modelling for Flood Resilience Assessment and Recovery Optimisation of Urban Rail Transit
… and enhance the resilience of URTS exposed to flood risk?”. It demonstrates the designed methodologies through a case study of 15 lines of the London URTS under 30-year, 100-year, and 1,000-year flood risk scenarios. For URTS flood resilience assessment, this research advances network modelling …

Time-Lapse Depletion Modeling Sensitivity Study: Gas-Filled Gulf of Mexico Reservoir
… during production, highlighting compaction and water movement. Time-lapse modeling, using a stress-dependent rock physics model, helps determine the need and frequency of expensive repeat seismic acquisition. We simulate a Gulf of Mexico gas reservoir time-lapse response for depletion and water …
