Reservoir description using dynamic parameterisation selection with a combined stochastic and gradient search     

Lars Kristian Nielsen  Sam Subbey  Mike Christie  Trond Mannseth 《Computational Geosciences》2006,10(3):321-342

There is a correspondence between flow in a reservoir and large scale permeability trends. This correspondence can be derived by constraining reservoir models using observed production data. One of the challenges in deriving the permeability distribution of a field using production data involves determination of the scale of resolution of the permeability. The Adaptive Multiscale Estimation (AME) seeks to overcome the problems related to choosing the resolution of the permeability field by a dynamic parameterisation selection. The standard AME uses a gradient algorithm in solving several optimisation problems with increasing permeability resolution. This paper presents a hybrid algorithm which combines a gradient search and a stochastic algorithm to improve the robustness of the dynamic parameterisation selection. At low dimension, we use the stochastic algorithm to generate several optimised models. We use information from all these produced models to find new optimal refinements, and start out new optimisations with several unequally suggested parameterisations. At higher dimensions we change to a gradient-type optimiser, where the initial solution is chosen from the ensemble of models suggested by the stochastic algorithm. The selection is based on a predefined criterion. We demonstrate the robustness of the hybrid algorithm on sample synthetic cases, which most of them were considered insolvable using the standard AME algorithm.  相似文献   

The International Laser Ranging Service and its support for IGGOS     

Michael Pearlman  Carey Noll  Peter Dunn  Julie Horvath  Van Husson  Paul Stevens  Mark Torrence  Hoai Vo  Scott Wetzel 《Journal of Geodynamics》2005,40(4-5):470

The International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) was established in September 1998 as a service within the IAG to support programs in geodetic, geophysical, and lunar research activities and to provide data products to the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) in support of its prime objectives. Now in operation for 5 years, the ILRS develops: (1) the standards and specifications necessary for product consistency and (2) the priorities and tracking strategies required to maximize network efficiency. The service collects, merges, analyzes, archives and distributes satellite and lunar laser ranging data to satisfy a variety of scientific, engineering, and operational needs and encourages the application of new technologies to enhance the quality, quantity, and cost effectiveness of its data products. The ILRS works with: (1) the global network to improve station performance; (2) new satellite missions in the design and building of retroreflector targets to maximize data quality and quantity and (3) science programs to optimize scientific data yield. The ILRS Central Bureau maintains a comprehensive web site as the primary vehicle for the distribution of information within the ILRS community. The site, which can be accessed at: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov is also available at mirrored sites at the Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) in Tokyo and the European Data Center (EDC) in Munich.During the last 2 years, the ILRS has addressed very important challenges: (1) data from the field stations are now submitted hourly and made available immediately through the data centers for access by the user community; (2) tracking on low satellites has been significantly improved through the sub-daily issue of predictions, drag functions, and the real-time exchange of time biases; (3) analysis products are now submitted in SINEX format for compatibility with the other space geodesy techniques; (4) the Analysis Working Group is heavily engaged in Pilot Projects as it works toward an ILRS “standard” global solution and (5) SLR has significantly increased its participation in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) activity, which is important to the success of IGGOS.  相似文献

Rare gas constraints on hydrocarbon accumulation, crustal degassing and groundwater flow in the Pannonian Basin   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The isotopic composition and abundances of He, Ne and Ar have been measured in a sequence of vertically stacked gas reservoirs at Hajduszoboszlo and Ebes, in the Pannonian Basin of Hungary. The gas reservoirs occur at depths ranging from 727 to 1331 m, are CH₄ dominated and occupy a total rock volume of approximately 1.5 km³. There are systematic variations in both major species abundances and rare gas isotopic composition with depth: CO₂ and N₂ both increase from 0.47 and 1.76% to 14.1 and 30.5%, respectively, and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar and ²¹Ne/²²Ne increase systematically from 340 and 0.02990 at 727 m to 1680 and 0.04290 at 1331 m. A mantle-derived He component between 2 and 5% is present in all samples, the remainder is crustal-radiogenic He. The Ar and Ne isotope variations arise from mixing between atmosphere-derived components in groundwater, and crustally produced radiogenic Ar and Ne. The atmosphere-derived ⁴⁰Ar and ²¹Ne decreases from 85 and 97% of the total ⁴⁰Ar and ²¹Ne at 727 m to 18 and 68% at 1331 m. The deepest samples are shown to have both atmosphere-derived and radiogenic components close to the air-saturated water and radiogenic production ratios. The shallowest samples show significant fractionation of He/Ar and Ne/Ar ratios in atmosphere-derived and radiogenic rare gas components, but little or no fractionation of He/Ne ratios. This suggests that diffusive fractionation of rare gases is relatively unimportant and that rare gas solubility partitioning between CH₄ and H₂O phases controls the observed rare gas elemental abundances.The total abundance of atmosphere-derived and radiogenic rare gas components in the Hajduszoboszlo gas field place limits on the minimum volume of groundwater that has interacted with the natural gas, and the amount of crust that has degassed and supplied radiogenic rare gases. The radiogenic mass balance cannot be accounted for by steady state production either within the basin sediments or the basement complex since basin formation. The results require that radiogenic rare gases are stored at their production ratios on a regional scale and transported to the near surface with minimal fractionation. The minimum volume of groundwater required to supply the atmosphere-derived rare gases would occupy a rock volume of some 1000 km³ (assuming an average basin porosity of 5%), a factor of 670 greater than the reservoir volume. Interactions between groundwater and the Hajduszoboszlo hydrocarbons has been on a greater scale than often envisaged in models of hydrocarbon formation and migration.  相似文献   

Effect of glacier loading/deloading on volcanism: postglacial volcanic production rate of the Dyngjufjöll area,central Iceland     

Gudmundur E Sigvaldason  Kristian Annertz  Magnus Nilsson 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1992,54(5):385-392

Tephrochronological dating of postglacial volcanism in the Dyngjufjöll volcanic complex, a major spreading center in the Icelandic Rift Zone, indicates a high production rate in the millennia following deglaciation as compared to the present low productivity. The visible and implied evidence indicates that lava production in the period 10 000–4500 bp was at least 20 to 30 times higher than that in the period after 2900 bp but the results are biased towards lower values for lava volumes during the earlier age periods since multiple lava layers are buried beneath younger flows. The higher production rate during the earlier period coincides with the disappearance of glaciers of the last glaciation. Decreasing lithostatic pressure as the glacier melts and vigorous crustal movements caused by rapid isostatic rebound may trigger intense volcanism until a new pressure equilibrium has been established.  相似文献

Fine‐scale diet of the Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) using DNA‐based analysis of faeces          下载免费PDF全文

We applied DNA‐based faecal analysis to determine the diet of female Australian sea lions (n = 12) from two breeding colonies in South Australia. DNA dietary components of fish and cephalopods were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and mitochondrial DNA primers targeting the short (~100 base pair) section of the 16S gene region. Prey diversity was determined by sequencing ~50 amplicons generated from clone libraries developed for each individual. Faecal DNA was also combined and cloned from multiple individuals at each colony and fish diversity determined. Diets varied between individuals and sites. Overall, DNA analysis identified a broad diversity of prey comprising 23 fish and five cephalopod taxa, including many species not previously described as prey of the Australian sea lion. Labridae (wrasse), Monacanthidae (leatherjackets) and Mullidae (goat fish) were important fish prey taxa. Commonly identified cephalopods were Octopodidae (octopus), Loliginidae (calamary squid) and Sepiidae (cuttlefish). Comparisons of fish prey diversity determined by pooling faecal DNA from several samples provided a reasonable but incomplete resemblance (55–71%) to the total fish diversity identified across individual diets at each site. Interpretation of diet based on the recovery of prey hard‐parts identified one cephalopod beak (Octopus sp.) and one fish otolith (Parapriacanthus elongatus). The present study highlights the value of DNA‐based analyses and their capabilities to enhance information of trophic interactions.  相似文献   

Analytical and numerical investigation of multicomponent multiphase WAG displacements     

Tara LaForce  Kristian Jessen 《Computational Geosciences》2010,14(4):745-754

In this paper the ability of analytical solutions for four-component three-phase flow to predict displacement efficiency in water alternating gas (WAG) injection processes is studied. First analytical solutions for Riemann problems with injection compositions that are the average water and gas mixture for various WAG injection schemes are presented. These solutions are compared to numerical calculations with variable slug sizes and used to explore the effect of slug size, injecting water vs gas first, and the average injection composition on displacement efficiency in compositional WAG schemes. The example model is partially miscible WAG injection of water and CO₂ into an oil reservoir containing C₁₀ and CH₄ with and without a mobile aqueous phase present initially. The trailing end of the water and gas profiles are sensitive to whether water or gas is injected first, but the magnitude of the oil bank and the breakthrough time of the injected fluids are accurately predicted by the analytical solutions, even for displacements where large water and gas slugs are injected. Fluctuations in the saturation and composition profiles resulting from the alternating injection sequence in the WAG simulations appear as super-imposed on top of the sequence of rarefaction and shock waves predicted by analytical solutions. As the number of slugs increases, the effect of alternating boundary conditions diminishes and the displacements predicted by numerical calculations converge to the analytical solutions.  相似文献
