Hydrocarbon (HC) microseepages can be indicator of possible reservoirs. For that reason, mapping the microseepages has potential to be used in petroleum exploration. This study presents a methodology for mapping HC microseepages and related clay mineral alteration in Gemrik Anticline, Adiyaman. For this purpose samples were collected from the potential seepage zones and tested by geochemical analysis. All samples were found to contain some HC. Then, an ASTER image of the region was obtained and a band combination was generated to map this particular region. To map related clay mineral alteration, firstly reflectance spectra of samples were measured using field spectrometer. Secondly, spectrally-known samples were analyzed in USGS Library to determine the reflectance spectra of the constitutional clay minerals in the samples. Lastly, the reflectance characteristics of selected end v members were represented as ASTER band combinations based on their spectral absorption characteristics and literature information. Crosta Technique was used to determine required principal components to map HC microseepage and related clay mineral alteration. Then, this methodology is applied to the whole ASTER image. Ground truth study showed that more than 65% of the revisited anomalies show similar prospects to that of the referenced anticline regardless of their geochemical content. In order to certify the ASTER band combination for mapping HC microseepages, anomalous and non-anomalous pixels were selected from the resultant HC map and given as training data samples to AdaBoost loop which is an image processing algorithm. It has been found that ASTER band combination offered for mapping HC microseepages is similar to that of AdaBoost Algorithm output.

Thermoluminescence characteristics of GaSe and Ga2Se3 single crystals Isik, M.; SARIGÜL, NESLİHAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2022-06-01) GaSe and Ga2Se3 are semiconducting compounds formed from same constituent elements. These compounds have been attractive due to their optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Defects take remarkable attention since they affect quality of semiconductor devices. In the present paper, deep defect centers in GaSe and Ga2Se3 single crystals grown by Bridgman method were reported from the analyses of thermoluminescence measurements performed in the 350–675 K range. Experimental TL curves of GaSe and Ga2Se3 s...
CO2 mitigation from the flue gas of the iron steel making industry by microalgal cultures Çaylı, Direniş; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Uludağ Demirer, Sibel (null; 2015-06-15) Integration of CO2 mitigation with nutrient removal from different wastewater sources can be realized by microalgae growth. In spite of being an option with significant environmental benefits, this technology still suffers from achieving high performances since atmospheric concentration of CO2 limits microalgae growth; i.e. biomass accumulation. This is why the use of flue gas with CO2 concentrations of 20-25% (by volume) should be considered as an inorganic C source for the microalgae culture reactors. Thi...
Modeling, analysis, and screening of cyclic pressure pulsing with nitrogen in hydraulically fractured wells Artun, Emre; Khoei, Ali Aghazadeh; Köse, Kutay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-7-19) Cyclic pressure pulsing with nitrogen is studied for hydraulically fractured wells in depleted reservoirs. A compositional simulation model is constructed to represent the hydraulic fractures through local-grid refinement. The process is analyzed from both operational and reservoir/hydraulic-fracture perspectives. Key sensitivity parameters for the operational component are chosen as the injection rate, lengths of injection and soaking periods and the economic rate limit to shut-in the well. For the reservo...
Reoxidation of Biogenic Reduced Uranium: A Challenge Toward Bioremediation Singh, Gursharan; Şengör, Sema Sevinç; Bhalla, Aditya; Kumar, Sudhir; De, Jaysankar; Stewart, Brandy; Spycher, Nicolas; Ginn, Timothy M.; Peyton, Brent M.; Sani, Rajesh K. (2014-01-01) Uraninite (UO2) is the most desirable end product of in situ bioreduction because of its low solubility under reducing conditions. For effective long-term immobilization of uranium (U), there should be no biotic or abiotic reoxidation of the insoluble biogenic U(IV). It is therefore critical to understand the long-term stability of U(IV) under oxic- and nutrient-limited conditions at U-contaminated subsurface sites. It has now been established that following in situ bioremediation of U(VI) via nutrient addi...
Pore network modeling of two phase flow in vuggy carbonates Akın, Serhat; Erzeybek, S. (2008-01-01) Carbonate reservoirs have more complex structures than silicate reservoirs because of depositional and diagenetic features. Secondary porosity enhancements due to fracturing or dissolution processes result complex porosity systems and thus complex flow patterns. Carbonates may contain not only matrix and fracture but also the vugs and cavities that are irregular in shape and vary in size from millimeters to centimeters in diameter. Although many of these vugs appear to be isolated from fractures, the mechan...
