Wellbore stability problems make up huge over-costs worldwide. In recent years declining resource volumes and favorable oil prices are encouraging operators to drill deeper, and more complex well trajectories drilling for hydrocarbons have turned into a much more challenging task. Furthermore, the complexity and variations of those wells have added the weight to planning and problem anticipation at both drilling and production stages. This study describes the geomechanical wellbore stability analysis of different formations drilled in Adiyaman region, Turkey. The analysis assumes validity of linear elastic theory for porous media and requires drilling reports, well logs, laboratory tests and core analysis. It was observed that with the assessment of geomechanical wellbore stability analysis mud weight window, which includes minimum mud weight and maximum mud weight, can be determined for the studied formations.

Geomechanical wellbore stability assesment for sayindere, karaboğaz, karababa formations in x field Uyar, Tevhide Tuğba; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2011) Wellbore stability problems make up huge over-costs worldwide. Since in recent years declining resource volumes and favorable oil prices are encouraging operators to drill deeper, more complex well trajectories drilling for hydrocarbons have turn into a much more challenging task. Furthermore, the complexity and variations of those wells have added the weight to planning and problem anticipation at both drilling and production stages. The thesis will describe the geomechanical wellbore stability analysis of...
A Facade mapping method to understand human comfort in buildings with highly glazed facades Tüzer, Ceren.; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2019) The energy demand of societies increases continuously with related to technological improvements, population increases and daily needs. Building sector is one of the highest energy consumer sector. Office buildings are also critical type of buildings, because these types of buildings generally accommodate lots of occupant and there is high demand of energy for lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to provide indoor air quality, thermal and visual comfort. The buildings with glass curtain wall...
A Life cycle assessment based decision support tool for early-design phase of mass-housing neighbourhoods in Turkey Kayaçetin, Nuri Cihan; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018) In developing countries such as Turkey, the main driving force of economy is the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry. Hence, rapid urban expansion dramatically increases the pressure on the existing infrastructure which affects buildings, public transportation and overall energy usage. In order to control urbanization, governments facilitate mass-housing projects in increasing numbers. Higher rates in construction require an immediate need for methods of assessing the environmental impacts ...
A Density functional theory investigation for solid state hydrogen storage materials Gencer, Ayşenur; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2018) The world’s energy demand is increasing with the population growth and technology development. In addition, the electronic devices are an essential part of the daily life that require portable energy sources. Therefore, energy storage is necessary in order to store energy from the renewable energy sources and also provide portable energy sources for electronic devices. Hydrogen being the most abundant element in the world, is a good energy carrier with high energy density. Also, hydrogen does not release gr...
A comparative study of classical and machine learning approaches for time series forecasting: an empirical analysis on exports in Turkey Günel, Eda; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2019) Exports has become one of the main economic indicator for countries. Accordingly, an accurate forecasting for exports is an important step for decision making and finding the most appropriate forecasting model constitutes the main subject of many studies. By taking the popularity and success of the machine learning (ML) methods on time series forecasting tasks into consideration, they are utilized also in this study to observe their predictive performances on Turkish exports. In this respect, Long Short Ter...
