Reservoir simulation studies are one of the key tools in an integrated reservoir management study. A successful reservoir simulation application requires representative input data for reservoir rock and fluid properties. This study aims to develop a road map from laboratory measurements to the input data file of reservoir simulation and to make a probabilistic approach for the estimation of unknown parameters. Raw data of reservoir rock and fluid properties of a selected oil field of Turkey will be interpreted and prepared in a way that they will be used as input data of a simulator.

Study of modeling of water saturation in archie and non-archie porous media Dalkhaa, Chantsalmaa; Okandan, Ender; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) The aim of this thesis is to study water saturation models available in the literature and to apply a proper one to a real field case. Archie equation is the most well-known water saturation model. However, it is formulated on some assumptions and is applicable to only clean sands. Archie equation cannot be used for shaly formation. There are many shaly water saturation models that account for shale effect for water saturation estimation. In this study, 3 wells, namely Well-01, Well-02 and Well-03 are studi...
Geotechnical characterization and performance assessment of bentonite/sand mixtures for underground waste repository sealing Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2010-08-01) The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a bentonite/sand mixture for the sealing of underground waste repositories through performing geotechnical laboratory tests such as compaction and flow tests. Swelling, mechanical and shear strength tests along with analyses of seal/rock mechanical interactions of an axially loaded seal in rock have been conducted to recommend an optimum compacted bentonite/sand mixture and a suitable bentonite/sand seal length-to-radius ratio (L/a) as a function o...
Assessment of Point-Source Stochastic Simulations Using Recently Derived Ground-Motion Prediction Equations Akkar, Dede Sinan; Yenier, Emrah (Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2009-12-01) The simplicity of the point-source stochastic simulation method makes it one of the most appealing tools for the quantification of ground motions for seismic hazard related studies. In this article, we scrutinize the limitations of this technique in terms of fundamental geophysical model parameters. To achieve this objective, we use the estimations of recent Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) and European empirical ground-motion models that are based on global strong-motion databases. The generated synthetic...
Vibration analysis of cracked beams on elastic foundation using Timoshenko beam theory Batıhan, Ali Çağrı; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, transverse vibration of a cracked beam on an elastic foundation and the effect of crack and foundation parameters on transverse vibration natural frequencies are studied. Analytical formulations are derived for a beam with rectangular cross section. The crack is an open type edge crack placed in the medium of the beam and it is uniform along the width of the beam. The cracked beam rests on an elastic foundation. The beam is modeled by two different beam theories, which are Euler-Bernoulli be...
Laboratory investigation on gelation behavior of Xanthan crosslinked with borate intended to combat lost circulation Mokhtari, Mehdi; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) This thesis addresses the application of xanthan/borate gel for lost circulation treatment. Steady shear viscometry method was applied in which the gel system was under constant shear rate while apparent viscosity was being recorded. The apparent viscosity was constant up to initial gelation time in which viscosity started to build up. Four parameters: initial and final gelation times as well as initial and final viscosities are defined and a correlation is derived between those parameters and four variable...
