This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractured rock is the host or foundation for innumerable engineered structures related to energy, water, waste, and transportation. Characterizing, modeling, and monitoring fractured rock sites is critical to the functioning of those infrastructure, as well as to optimizing resource recovery and contaminant management. Characterization, Modeling, Monitoring, and Remediation of Fractured Rock examines the state of practice and state of art in the characterization of fractured rock and the chemical and biological processes related to subsurface contaminant fate and transport. This report examines new developments, knowledge, and approaches to engineering at fractured rock sites since the publication of the 1996 National Research Council report Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow: Contemporary Understanding and Fluid Flow. Fundamental understanding of the physical nature of fractured rock has changed little since 1996, but many new characterization tools have been developed, and there is now greater appreciation for the importance of chemical and biological processes that can occur in the fractured rock environment. The findings of Characterization, Modeling, Monitoring, and Remediation of Fractured Rock can be applied to all types of engineered infrastructure, but especially to engineered repositories for buried or stored waste and to fractured rock sites that have been contaminated as a result of past disposal or other practices. The recommendations of this report are intended to help the practitioner, researcher, and decision maker take a more interdisciplinary approach to engineering in the fractured rock environment. This report describes how existing tools-some only recently developed-can be used to increase the accuracy and reliability of engineering design and management given the interacting forces of nature. With an interdisciplinary approach, it is possible to conceptualize and model the fractured rock environment with acceptable levels of uncertainty and reliability, and to design systems that maximize remediation and long-term performance. Better scientific understanding could inform regulations, policies, and implementation guidelines related to infrastructure development and operations. The recommendations for research and applications to enhance practice of this book make it a valuable resource for students and practitioners in this field.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses recurrent questions in hydrocarbon reservoir characteri¬zation. In particular, the major focus of this research volume is microtextural characterization of source rock fabric as well as elastic and transport properties of source rocks. Source rocks are one of the most complicated and intriguing natural materials on earth. Their multiphase composition is continually evolving over various scales of length and time, creating the most heterogeneous class of rocks in existence. The heterogeneities are present from the submicroscopic scale to the macroscopic scale, and all contribute to a pronounced anisotropy and large variety of shale macroscopic behavior. Moreover, the effects of the multiphase composition are amplified within organic-rich rocks that contain varying amounts of kerogen. Despite significant research into the properties of kerogen, fundamental questions remain regarding how the intrinsic rock-physics properties of the organic fraction affect the macroscopic properties of host rocks. Because we do not fully understand the elastic properties of either the organic matter or the individual clay minerals present in source rocks, seismic velocity prediction in organic-rich shales remains challenging. Conventional measurements of 'macroscopic' or 'average' properties on core plugs are not sufficient to fully address the degree of property variation within organic-rich rocks. Alternatively, most analyses of organic matter rely on samples that have been isolated by dissolving the rock matrix. The properties of the organic matter before and after such isolation may be different, and all information about sample orientation is lost. In addition, comprehensive characterization of organic-rich rocks has been hindered by several factors: sample preparation is time-consuming, and the nanogranular nature of this rock type makes it difficult to link effective elastic properties to maceral properties, such as elastic moduli, composition, maturity, and quality. These difficulties have prevented us from building large databases, without which we cannot establish the accurate rock-physics models needed for inverting field geophysical data. I approach this issue using atomic-force microscopy based nanoindentation, coupled with scanning electron and confocal laser-scanning microscopy as a tool for visualization and identification of the organic part within shale, and to perform nanoscale elastic-property measurements. First, the microfabric of a set of source rock samples is characterized. The spatial and temporal link between organic matter and the stiff silicate mineral matrix is established, which leads to proposal of alternative Rock Physics modeling approach to organic-rich source rocks. Based on the nanoindentation measurements, I obtain elastic properties of source rock phases and provide several applications of these (nanoindentation-derived) elastic properties within a number of geomechanical problems. Finally, transport properties of various source rock formations are discussed based on comparison to more conventional reservoir rocks.

Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific understanding of fluid flow in rock fracturesâ€"a process underlying contemporary earth science problems from the search for petroleum to the controversy over nuclear waste storageâ€"has grown significantly in the past 20 years. This volume presents a comprehensive report on the state of the field, with an interdisciplinary viewpoint, case studies of fracture sites, illustrations, conclusions, and research recommendations. The book addresses these questions: How can fractures that are significant hydraulic conductors be identified, located, and characterized? How do flow and transport occur in fracture systems? How can changes in fracture systems be predicted and controlled? Among other topics, the committee provides a geomechanical understanding of fracture formation, reviews methods for detecting subsurface fractures, and looks at the use of hydraulic and tracer tests to investigate fluid flow. The volume examines the state of conceptual and mathematical modeling, and it provides a useful framework for understanding the complexity of fracture changes that occur during fluid pumping and other engineering practices. With a practical and multidisciplinary outlook, this volume will be welcomed by geologists, petroleum geologists, geoengineers, geophysicists, hydrologists, researchers, educators and students in these fields, and public officials involved in geological projects.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From July 10th through July 13th, 1994, an informal workshop co-organized by RILEM committees 116-PCD and 123-MME was held at Saint-Remy-Ies Chevreuse, France, and attended by 38 delegates from 16 countries. Twenty-nine papers were presented, converging the general subjects of modelling micro structures and predicting durability of concrete and other cement-based materials. A short summary follows: G. M. Idom's paper entitled "Modelling Research for Concrete Engineering" serves as an introduction to the workshop, presenting an overview of modelling research with the conelusion that the broad practica1 objective is to produce high-quality concrete. This means that many characteristics, ranging from rheology to alkali-silica reaction, must be modelled. In other words, the system must be understood. Idom's paper sets the stage for papers in two general areas: 1) models and 2) transport properties. After this, abrief survey of the develop ment of microstructurally-based models is presented. A elose relationship between computer power and speed is suggested. The first group of papers on models covers the subjects of scale and resolution. Most models define and predict characteristics of the pore system, which range in scale from nanometer to millimeter. Various types ofnetworks are proposed in these papers. A good microstructural model must describe the pores and other phases at ascale appropriate to the properties that the model predicts. Also, a good model should be based on fundamental knowledge. In the case of cement-based materials, the important properties may depend on the microstructure, especially the porosity, at several scales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractals have changed the way we understand and study nature. This change has been brought about mainly by the work of B. B. Mandelbrot and his book The Fractal Geometry of Nature. Now here is a book that collects articles treating fractals in the earth sciences. The themes chosen span, as is appropriate for a discourse on fractals, many orders of magnitude; including earthquakes, ocean floor topography, fractures, faults, mineral crystallinity, gold and silver deposition. There are also chapters on dynamical processes that are fractal, such as rivers, earthquakes, and a paper on self-organized criticality. Many of the chapters discuss how to estimate fractal dimensions, Hurst exponents, and other scaling exponents. This book, in a way, represents a snapshot of a field in which fractals has brought inspiration and a fresh look at familiar subjects. New ideas and attempts to quantify the world we see around us are found throughout. Many of these ideas will grow and inspire further work, others will be superseded by new observations and insights, most probably with future contributions by the authors of these chapters.
