The use of seismic well logs such as sonic and density for well-to-seismic matching, seismic interpretation, inversion and 3D model building is well known. Generally, the depth-to-time conversion is done using the standard checkshot correction. Both errors in the VSP/checkshot first-break picking as well as the seismic logs make this process error prone. To improve the understanding of the subsurface and get the maximum value out of broadband seismic data and seismic diffraction imaging, this paper presents a novel and robust log repair and upgrading methodology to transform well data (seismic logs and VSP/checkshots) into a complete and realistic velocity and density profile from surface to TD. A case study from the south of the Netherlands (well Heeswijk-01) is used to analyse the performance of the proposed new methodology. Comparison of the original logs after checkshot correction and the upgraded and integrated logs show a dramatic improvement in the seismic-to-well match. Application of this promising log upgrading methodology in both oil & gas and geothermal projects around the world is thus appropriate in order to get more value out of expensive wells and seismic data.

Experimental investigation of unsteady flow field within a two stage axial turbomachine using particle image velocimetry Uzol, Oğuz; Katz, Joseph; Meneveau, Charles (2002-06-06) Detailed measurements of the flow field within the entire 2nd stage of a two-stage axial turbomachine are performed using particle image velocimetry. The experiments are performed in a facility that allows unobstructed view on the entire flow field, facilitated using transparent rotor and stator and a fluid that has the same optical index of refraction as the blades. The entire flow field is composed of a “lattice of wakes,” and the resulting wake-wake and wake-blade interactions cause major flow and turbul...
Practical implementation of generalized pushover analysis for multimodal pushover analysis Alıcı, Fırat Soner; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2015-08-29) A generalized pushover analysis procedure was previously developed for estimating the inelastic seismic response of structures under earthquake ground excitations. The procedure consists of applying different generalized force vectors separately for each story to the structure in an incremental form with increasing amplitude, until an estimated target interstory drift demand is obtained. A generalized force vector is expressed as a combination of modal forces, and simulates the instantaneous force distribut...
Consistent matrices for steel framed structures with semi-rigid connections accounting for shear deformation and rotary inertia effects ÖZEL, HALİL FIRAT; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Tasbahji, Tayseer (2017-04-15) Estimation of vibration characteristics and thus the seismic loads acted on steel framed structures are influenced by the presence of semi-rigid connections and accurate modeling of shear deformations and rotary inertia effects. This paper presents a finite element model that takes into account all these effects in order to calculate consistent stiffness and mass matrices. The formulation of the element utilizes three fields Hu-Washizu-Barr principle, where the need for displacement shape function approxima...
Development and analytical verification of an inelastic reinforced concrete joint model Unal, Mehmet; Burak Bakır, Burcu (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-01) Previous experimental research indicated that beam-to-column connections of reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting frame structures experience considerable deformations under earthquake loading and these deformations have a major contribution to the story drift of the building. In current analysis and design applications, however, the connection regions are generally modeled as rigid zones and the inelastic behavior of the joint is not considered. This assumption gives rise to an underestimation of the s...
Theoretical investigation of charge accumulation layer on the Bi-induced InAs(111)-(2 x 2) surface Ozkaya, S.; Usanmaz, D.; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Alkan, B.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (AIP Publishing, 2014-04-28) Based on pseudopotential method and density functional theory, we have investigated the stability, atomic geometry, and detailed electronic structures for Bi adsorbates on the InAs(111)-(2 x 2) surface with three different sites: (i) T-4 (Bi trimer centered on T-4 site), (ii) H-3 (Bi trimer centered on H-3 site), and (iii) T-4-H-3 (which is formed by trimers with opposite orientations: one centered on a T-4 site and the other on a H-3). Our total energy calculations suggest that adsorption on the T-4-H-3 si...
