Oil reservoir characterization using ensemble data assimilation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Increasing world energy demand combined with decreasing discoveries of new and accessible hydrocarbon reserves are necessitating optimal recovery from the world's current hydrocarbon resources. Advances in drilling and ...
Estimation of channelized features in geological media using sparsity constraint
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
In this thesis, a new approach is studied for inverse modeling of ill-posed problems with spatially continuous parameters that exhibit sparseness in an incoherent basis (e.g. a Fourier basis). The solution is constrained ...
