This paper investigates the impacts of varied stimulated matrix permeability and matrix-block size on pressure behaviors and flow regimes of hydraulically fractured reservoirs using bivariate log-normal distribution. The main objective is assembling the variance in these two parameters to the analytical models of pressure and pressure derivative considering different porous-media petrophysical properties, reservoir configurations, and hydraulic-fracture (HF) characteristics. The motivation is eliminating the long-run discretization treatment in the porous media required by applying analytical models to describe the variance in the previously discussed parameters with the distance between HFs.

Analysis of the heterogeneity scale effects on pump and treat aquifer remediation design Güngör Demirci, Gamze; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2009) The effect of heterogeneity correlation scale of hydraulic conductivity (K), equilibrium distribution coefficient (Kd) and mass transfer rate on the design and cost of the P&T remediation system for different heterogeneity levels (defined by the variance (σ2lnK)) and parameter distributions under the rate-limited sorption conditions was evaluated in this study. In addition, the impacts of initial amount of contaminant mass and plume configuration on the remediation design and cost were explored. The effects...
Evaluation of PCB dechlorination pathways in anaerobic sediment microcosms using an anaerobic dechlorination model Demirtepe, Hale; Kjellerup, Birthe; Sowers, Kevin R.; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2015-10-15) A detailed quantitative analysis of anaerobic dechlorination (AD) pathways of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment microcosms was performed by applying an anaerobic dechlorination model (ADM). The purpose of ADM is to systematically analyze changes in a contaminant profile that result from microbial reductive dechlorination according to empirically determined dechlorination pathways. In contrast to prior studies that utilized modeling tools to predict dechlorination pathways, ADM also provides quant...
Application of two receptor models for the investigation of sites contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls : positive matrix factorization and chemical mass balance Demircioğlu, Filiz; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2010) This study examines the application of two receptor models, namely Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) and Chemical Mass Balance (CMB), on the investigation of sites contaminated with PCBs. Both models are typically used for apportionment of pollution sources in atmospheric pollution studies, however have gained popularity in the last decade on the investigation of PCBs in soil/sediments. The aim of the study is four-fold; (i) to identify the status of PCB pollution in Lake Eymir area via sampling and analy...
Analysis of pressure behaviors and flow regimes of naturally and hydraulically fractured unconventional gas reservoirs using multi-linear flow regimes approach Al-Rbeawi, Salam (2017-09-01) This paper targets the applicability of multi-linear flow regimes approach in gas reservoirs having multiple porous media: matrix, natural fractures, and hydraulic fractures. The approach attempts to understand pressure profiles and flow regimes developed in some of unconventional shale layers that have already been naturally fractured. In this paper, the main focus is given to fluid flow phenomenon from the matrix towards naturally induced fractures and from these fractures to the hydraulic fractures. Stud...
Modeling anaerobic dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls Demirtepe, Hale; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012) This study aims to investigate the fate of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediments via using an anaerobic dechlorination model (ADM). PCBs are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, accumulated mostly in aquatic sediments. Significant attention was placed on the anaerobic dechlorination of PCBs since this process leads to the conversion of highly-chlorinated biphenyls to lower chlorinated ones, resulting in less toxic and more biodegradable congeners. An ADM was developed previously for the identificati...
