An open access carbonate reservoir model
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2022-03)This thesis presents a new open-source carbonate reservoir benchmarking case study, the COSTA model, that uniquely considers major uncertainties inherent to carbonate reservoirs, providing a far more challenging and ... -
Evaluation and prediction of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) by Low Salinity Water Flooding (LSWF) injection
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2022-03)Low Salinity WaterFlood (LSWF) injection is an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method proven to be effective by extensive experimental studies. Correct implementation of this method in reservoir-scale simulations requires ... -
The role of Arabidopsis MAP kinase genes in biotic and abiotic stress signalling
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2022-03)Plants are constantly faced with environmental stresses which trigger morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes that can negatively affect crop productivity. Plants detect and respond to these ...
