...geomechanical and rock physics behavior of shales is essential. We discuss a particular deep overburden shale in light of a thorough static and dynamic multi-directional data acquisition, as a basis for complete static and dynamic characterization assuming transverse isotropy. The stress-and strain-path...

...fluids are left static in the annulus, gravitational forces will make the barite settle out. This settled barite is today the main reason for casing cut and removal process, which accounts for up to 50% of time related to P&A operations. Knowledge of settled barite on top of cement behind casing is also essential...

...investments in human capital is important for the economic growth of a region. In this paper we will look at the connection between job satisfaction and job performance and its impact on the ?use? of human capital....

June to November 2007. Two vertically mounted transducers operating at a carrier frequency of 38 kHz permitted both single-input/single-output (SISO) and multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) channel measurements. The upper transducers at both sides were mounted around 2 meters from the sea surface. The...
