Geomechanical characterization of rock masses
ISBN: 9783639233063 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The development of instability, associated with road construction is the source of important problems, This situation appears to be related to three fundamental circumstances: A complex orography; an abundant rainfall and a large amount of tectonically disturbed sedimentary rocks. The development of unstable slopes depends on the combination of the rock massifs, their strength characteristics, structure, and precipitation- runoff relationship. Moreover, in coastal areas, there are a series of additional aspects which necessarily have to be taken into consideration: the particularly aggressive...

Post Flow-Through Experiment Rock Core Characterization
ISBN: 9783639229301 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The transport of radionuclides in the environment is a major environmental issue that needs to be understood when dealing with nuclear waste. The Nevada Test Site (NTS) was designated as the United States' nuclear testing area and is the site of over 900 nuclear detonations. This experiment, conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, models radionuclide migration in rock core obtained from NTS. In short, a solution modeling the groundwater (in mineral composition and pH) from NTS was flowed over the rock core. The cores were examined by alpha-radiography, scanning electron...

Characterization of the Cotton Valley Sandstones, East Texas Basin USA
ISBN: 9783639162912 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The reservoir quality of the Cotton Valley
sandstones is mainly controlled by depositional environment and subsequent diagenetic overprint. Bioturbation generally results in deteriorating reservoir quality, but it was responsible for preserving porosity in the sandstones. Clean bioturbated sandstones (with less than 10% clay matrix) show the highest porosity and permeability among the other facies. Petrographic analysis of the various facies indicates that three main parameters influenced... The reservoir quality of the Cotton Valley

Mudgases Geochemistry and Factors Controlling Their Variability
ISBN: 9783639242652 / Angielski / Miękka / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Carbon isotope and molecular compositions of Cretaceous mudgases have been examined from several depth profiles across the undisturbed Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). The complexity of the isotopic profiles shows numerous inflections and deviations of the carbon isotope values and wetness index with depth that suggest a correlation with the stratigraphic framework and can be explained in terms of the origin and alteration of the gases. However, combined evidence from a multidisciplinary approach suggests that isotopic variability of WCSB gases is only partly induced by source...
