The tight oil reservoir of X5 fault block in Jidong oilfield is characterized by multi-thin and inter-bedded reservoir with poor physical property and strong heterogeneity. Vertical wells located in study area are facing production problems such …

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering publishes papers in the areas of soil and rock engineering and also of geology as applied in the civil engineering, mining and petroleum industries.

Geophysics is a scientific field that studies the Earth’s physical properties and processes using non-invasive techniques. With the advent of advanced geophysical investigation methods, the role of geophysics in structural and geotechnical …

The change of stress around the well will induce casing deformation of different degrees, resulting in insufficient completion of volume fracturing in shale gas horizontal wells, which seriously affects the efficient development of gas wells.

The low permeability Z block has entered the stage of high water cut development. With the deepening of adjustments, the distribution of remaining oil is becoming increasingly scattered, the degree of utilization of thin oil layers is still low …

Niger is located in the hinterland of Sahara Desert, where fault blocks are scattered and distributed in a zonal pattern. The typical fault block, Dibeilla N-1, whose reservoir is shallow and heterogeneous, and developed with strong edge-bottom …

The literature of the past century produced an historical reconstruction of statics theory applied to mechanical structures coinciding–starting with Le Mecaniche (1634) and Discorsi e dimostrazioni matematiche sopra a due nuove scienze (1638) by …

Highly evolved multi-enzyme cascade catalytic reactions in organisms facilitate rapid transfer of substrates and efficient conversion of intermediates in the catalytic unit, thus rationalizing their efficient biocatalysis. In this study …

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Approaches in Civil Engineering for Sustainable Development (IACESD 2023). The topics covered include emerging practices in geotechnical engineering and …

Knowledge in geology is important for geotechnical and foundation engineers. It is because geology is like the ‘DNA’ and ‘horoscope’ of a region. An astrologer prepares horoscope based on precise positions of celestial objects like stars and …

Surveyors, explorers and managers investigate for improvements in geophysical operations in hassle-free environments, including planning, survey designs and budgetary regulations. The critical tasks are field crew induction, wildlife and domestic …
