  • Nonlinear Conjugate Gradients Algorithm For 2-D Magnetotelluric Inversion 
    Rodi, William L.; Mackie, Randall L. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2000)
    We investigate a new algorithm for computing regularized solutions of the two-dimensional magnetotelluric inverse problem. The algorithm employs a nonlinear conjugate gradients (NLCG) scheme to minimize an objective ...
  • Simulation Of An Acoustically Induced Electromagnetic Field In A Borehole Embedded In A Porous Formation 
    Hu, Hengshan; Wang, Kexie; Wang, Jingnong (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2000)
    When an acoustic point source located on the borehole axis emits an acoustic wave, an electric field, as well as an acoustic field, is generated in the porous formation around the borehole due to an electrokinetic effect. ...
  • Aeolian And Fluvial Depositional Systems Discrimination In Wireline Logs: Unayzah Formation, Central Saudi Arabia 
    Al-Dajani, AbdulFattah; Burns, Daniel; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2000)
    The objective of tills study is to discriminate between aeolian and fluvial deposits of the Permian Unayzah formation in Central Saudi Arabia by using wireline logs. The analysis is conducted on wire-line logs (field ...
  • The Effect Of Image Resolution On Fluid Flow Simulations In Porous Media 
    Edie, Margaret S.; Olson, John F.; Burns, Daniel R.; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2000)
    Realistic simulations of flow in porous media are dependent upon having a three-dimensional, high resolution image of pore structure which is difficult to obtain. So, we ask the question, "How fine a resolution is necessary ...
  • Effects Of Formation Stress On Logging Measurements 
    Huang, Xiaojun; Zhu, Zhenya; Toksoz, M. Nafi; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2000)
    We show both theoretically and experimentally how stress concentrations affect the velocity field around a borehole surrounded by a formation with intrinsic ortohombic anisotropy. When F[subscript x] = F[subscript y], ...
