Three reservoir sand intervals (A, B, C) were identified and correlated across four wells (W1, W2, W3, W4) in W-field using the gamma ray, while the fluid identification of each reservoir was achieved using the resistivity log. The reservoir C interval was selected and utilized for petrophysical interpretation was penetrated at depths 11741-11945ft, 11933-12173ft, 11658-11847ft and 11926-12095ft across all wells respectively.The average values of gross thickness, volume of shale, effective porosity, total porosity, permeability, water saturation and hydrocarbon saturation of the delineated reservoir sand are 200.5ft for gross thickness, 18% for shale volume, 21% for effective porosity, 26% for total porosity, 1071.74mD for permeability, and 28% for water saturation and 77% for hydrocarbon saturation. Petrophysical evaluation revealed that porosity and permeability are very good to excellent in the field. The reservoir is classed as clean sands based on the high net to gross ratio (>70%) and the low shale volumes (<30%). Consequently, the low value of shale volume, low value water saturation, high value of hydrocarbon saturation and the good porosity and permeability properties of the reservoir of interest suggest economical and commercial quality and viability of the wells within this field.","PeriodicalId":8541,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86847848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optical properties were studied using UV-Vis spectrophotometer within a range of 200-1100nm. The micro and crystalline size of the nanoparticle were studied using x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compositional analysis was carried out using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). Observation of the electrical properties of the nanoparticle was carried out using an electrical four-point probe system. The XRD pattern in the 2θ range from 20 to 700 revealed that iron oxide had a rhombohedral structure. The SEM result showed that the nanoparticles were well dispersed and had a uniform crystalline structure. The EDXS results showed the elemental analysis of the nanoparticles under consideration. Iron oxide nanoparticles had elemental composition of oxygen, iron, titanium and carbon. The atomic and weight concentration of iron was 14.19 and 30.89%. The four-point probe electrical resistivity result shows that iron oxide nanoparticles had a sheet resistance of 9.8x106Ώ/sq. The optical result made it known that iron oxide nanoparticles possessed a high transmittance, also iron oxide nanoparticles displayed a low reflectance and moderate absorbance.

This involved soil boring for the retrieval of disturbed and relatively undisturbed samples for analysis, which involves grain size analysis, the Atterberg limits, moisture content, and unit weights. Also, Oedometer consolidation Oedometer and undrained, unconsolidated triaxial tests were carried out. \u0000Results: The study revealed two main stratigraphic layers that are mostly fine within the shallow foundation level (0.0–3.0m). From the results, the soil exhibited the following geotechnical properties: liquid limit (41-46%), plastic limit (21-23%), plasticity index (18-24%), and moisture content range (20.6-24.7%). The undrained cohesion value is 55 kPa, and the average frictional angle is 5o. The coefficients of compression (Mv) and consolidation (Cv) were 0.20 m2 /MN and 40.7 m2/yr, respectively. \u0000Conclusion: With the moderate bearing and settlement values within the shallow foundation level, the feasibility of adopting a shallow foundation for the purposed structure is tolerable. A shallow foundation (1.4m minimum) with an allowable bearing pressure of 100 kPa is therefore recommended.","PeriodicalId":8541,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81306965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two inclined side walls are kept in natural convection with the surrounding environment. The upper horizontal wall is subjected to a heat flux of constant density, while the lower one is adiabatic. Under the Boussinesq assumption, the thermodynamic conditions are numerically studied using the unsteady convection equations formulated as a secondary variable of vorticity and a stream function, energy and moisture. The system of equations discretised by the implicit finite difference method is solved by the Thomas algorithm. The results show a flow structure, isotherms and isohumidities dependent on the study parameters. Thus, on one hand, an increase in the inclination angle of the walls is accompanied by an increase in the velocity of the fluid. On the other hand, an increase in the aspect ratio or Lewis number leads to a decrease in the fluid’s velocity. The average Nusselt number, which is independent of the Rayleigh number, increases slightly as the inclination angle of the walls decreases. The increase of the Lewis number results in the decrease of the flow velocity components values. It is observed that the maxima values of velocity components were reached for Rayleigh number equal to 7.103.","PeriodicalId":8541,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74898636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these interesting systems on the energy plan, one finds in particular the earth-to-air heat exchanger commonly called ‘Canadian or Provençal well’. It consists of tubes buried in which the ambient air is pushed in order to be refreshed in contact with the ground whose temperature is quasi-constant throughout the year. In this work, a study of the performance of an earth-to-air heat exchanger was undertaken by means of numerical modeling of heat exchange by forced convection in a buried tube. The transfer equations in the tube are discretized using the finite volume method in turbulent regime and solved using the Thomas algorithm. For the determination of the ground temperature, the model of the semi-infinite mass subjected to a periodic excitation was adopted. The soil temperature was used as a boundary condition for the buried tube. \u0000The results show that the interest of the earth-to-air heat exchanger is major, since it improves throughout the year, the thermal conditions sought. It intervenes in an effective way on the damping of the thermal amplitudes in the building. The variation of the diameter and the length of earth-to-air heat exchanger does not influence notably the distribution of the streamlines and isotherms but affect significantly the values of stream function and temperature inside de tube of the earth-to-air heat exchanger. When diameter of the pipe increases, the outlet temperature increases. The increase of the length of the earth-to-air heat exchanger leads to the isotherms increase as a result of the intensification of heat exchange between the walls and the convective jet. The temperature in the air outlet compartment is lower as the length of the earth-to-air exchanger increases.","PeriodicalId":8541,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88710020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter is the second hottest point. The developed network is composed of 8 isothermal points, interconnected by thermal resistances, each of which represents a particular type of heat transfer mode. The resolution of the system required 8 differential equations. The modeling allowed us to appreciate the temperatures governing the system. The experimental study proves an agreement with the model temperatures. Studies show that the cook stvoe’s optimal thickness and height are respectively 18 mm and 09 cm.
