An artificial-intelligence based decision-making protocol is developed for tight gas sands to identify re-fracturing wells and used in case studies. The methodology is based on fuzzy logic to deal with imprecision and subjectivity through mathematical representations of linguistic vagueness, and is a computing system based on the concepts of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy if-then rules, and fuzzy reasoning. Five indexes are used to characterize hydraulic fracture quality, reservoir characteristics, operational parameters, initial conditions, and production related to the selection of re-fracturing well, and each index includes 3 related parameters. The value of each index/parameter is grouped into three categories that are low, medium, and high. For each category, a trapezoidal membership function all related rules are defined. The related parameters of an index are input into the rule-based fuzzy-inference system to output value of the index. Another fuzzy-inference system is built with the reservoir index, operational index, initial condition index and production index as input parameters and re-fracturing potential index as output parameter to screen out re-fracturing wells. This approach was successfully validated using published data.

A rippability classification system for marls in lignite mines
BASARIR, H; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-01)
This paper describes the development of a rippability classification system for marls in lignites mines based on direct ripping runs, specific energy concept and indirect rippability assessment methods. Extensive field and laboratory studies were undertaken in six different panels of Turkish Coal Enterprises and Sivas-Kangal Lignite mines. Rock mass descriptions were made, seismic P-wave velocities are measured at the field, direct cutting tests and rock material property determination tests were carried ou...
Determination of SARA fractions of crude oils by NMR technique
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01)
In this research, four different crude oils from Tatarstan oil fields with wide range of API gravities (from 16.6 to 32.5 degrees API) were used for hydrogen and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H NMR and C NMR) determinations. The hydrogen and carbon aromaticity factors were calculated by using the results of H NMR and C NMR spectroscopy results. The results show that the aromaticity factors were high for heavy crude oils. For predicting SARA fractions, the correlations were developed as a f...
Revisiting Current Techniques for Analyzing Reservoir Performance: A New Approach for Horizontal-Well Pseudosteady-State Productivity Index
Al-Rbeawi, Salam (Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), 2019-02-01)
The objective of this paper is to revisit currently used techniques for analyzing reservoir performance and characterizing the horizontal-well productivity index (PI) in finite-acting oil and gas reservoirs. This paper introduces a new practical and integrated approach for determining the starting time of pseudosteady-state flow and constant-behavior PI. The new approach focuses on the fact that the derivative of PI vanishes to zero when pseudosteady-state flow is developed. At this point, the derivative of...
Explicit representation of spatial heterogeneity in reactive transport models: application to bioirrigated sediments
Meile, C; Tuncay, Kağan; Van Cappellen, P (Elsevier BV, 2003-05-01)
Existing reactive transport models represent aquatic sediments as one-dimensional systems. These models account for the predominantly vertical chemical gradients recorded by traditional pore water and solid sediment sampling techniques (e.g., cores, dialysis samplers). However, advances in sampling techniques, including the rapid development of in situ microprofilers, are providing increasingly detailed data sets, which highlight the laterally heterogeneous nature of the water-sediment interface. In particu...
Correlating common breakage modes with impact breakage and ball milling of cement clinker and chromite
Camalan, Mahmut (Elsevier BV, 2020-11-01)
Understanding the mechanisms of the breakage of ore particles is important to predict the particle size distribution in size reduction operations. This paper aims to show the presence of common breakage modes in impact breakage and ball milling of the cement clinker and chromite samples. For that purpose, narrow size fractions of the two samples were broken in a drop-weight tester or ball mill by changing the degree of applied energy. Then the resultant size distributions were evaluated to seek evidence for...
