▼ The Eagle Ford shale of South Texas has become one of the most active and most important shale plays in the U.S. This success has been possible because of the unique geology and richness of the play, allowing significant production of natural
gas, condensate liquids, and
oil; the rapid improvement of long horizontal lateral drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing completion technologies; and a long-term period of sustained high
oil prices.
This study develops a probabilistic before-tax economic model to estimate the reserves of the Eagle Ford shale, under different stochastic parameters and scenarios usually not considered by evaluators. The model is used to assess impact and sensitivity on reserves and economic yardsticks considering the variability and uncertainty of project inputs such as production streams, commodity prices, capital investments, and operational costs.
We use existing probabilistic methodologies for production and price forecasting and use public and private sources to develop statistical distributions for additional parameters, including differentials for commodity prices, natural
gas content for the different production regions, and water/
gas and water/
oil ratios.
We consider three evaluation scenarios???single-well, 100-well, and Full-well???in each of the proposed production regions of the Eagle Ford shale, with calibrated probabilistic inputs for each region. Single-well results show how it is hard to produce complete distributions of reserves all across the play, although production regions with better productivity are identified. Results from the scenarios with multiple wells, show how the commerciality of the considered development projects is achievable in liquid-rich production regions and with moderate to high price forecasts.
This study provides useful information and results to
oil and
gas professionals about key areas that influence the commercial development of Eagle Ford shale. The methodology to perform evaluations with probabilistic components enables better project development and investment decisions and can be applied to other shale plays.

▼ Graphene has been widely studied in electrochemical energy storage devices, such as Li-ion batteries, Li-air batteries and supercapacitors, due to its high conductivity, high surface area, mechanical and electrochemical stability. However, the fact that graphene (and other carbon based materials) can only store charges on exposed surface, which severely limits the capacitance. On the other hand, it is well-known transition metal oxides have much higher inherent capacitance than graphene. However, transition metal oxides also have their limitations. Most significantly, the low conductivity confines the efficient storing and releasing process which makes the practical capacitance of the bulk transition metal oxides far away behind their theoretical values. To address this problem, thick transition metal oxide films are explored to reduce the electric charge pathway so that the resistance could be minimized. However, when the thickness is reduced, the transition metal oxide weight ratio in devices is significant compromised which is not desirable.
Chapter 3 and chapter 4 aim to develop a technology that could integrate the high surface area graphene with high intrinsic capacitance MnO2 to achieve a better energy performance without scarifying power performance. In this project we will design and fabricate integrated 1-D and 2-D composites at nanoscale for pseudocapacitive positive electrode in asymmetric aqueous supercapacitors. Various experiments are carried out to optimize the formation conditions, and the fabricated materials will be extensively characterized by spectroscopy and microscopy. The integration of 1-D and 2-D materials at nanoscale into high-order 3-D structures could enhance electrode conductivity, stability, and easy preparation. Different aqueous electrolyte will be evaluated. The improved electrochemical performance in terms of specific energy, specific power, cycling performance are elucidated by both half-cell and full-cell electrochemical characterization.
In chapter 4, a facile method was developed to prepare MnO2/holey graphene oxide (MnO2/HGO) materials based on graphene oxide (GO) flakes for supercapacitor applications. FESEM images show that MnO2 nanorods were formed on the surface of HGO flakes, serving as spacers and preventing the HGO layers from stacking. This provides pathways between the layers for the electrolyte to access the bulk active materials. By introducing the high intrinsic capacitance MnO2 nanorods together with the modified 3-D structure, the capacitance increases to 71.0 F/g compared with 30.0 F/g of GO. More pathways were created by nitric acid etching holes on the surface of the GO. This 3-D MnO2/HGO structure achieves a capacitance of 117.45 F/g, which is 1.65 times higher than that of MnO2/GO composite and 3.9 times higher than that of GO only. BET surface area, XRD and AC impedance were also used to analyze the possible reasons for the enhanced electrochemical performance.

▼ Installation of photovoltaic (PV) units could lead to great challenges to the existing electrical systems. Issues such as voltage rise, protection coordination, islanding detection, harmonics, increased or changed short-circuit levels, etc., need to be carefully addressed before we can see a wide adoption of this environmentally friendly technology. Voltage rise or overvoltage issues are of particular importance to be addressed for deploying more PV systems to distribution networks. This dissertation proposes a comprehensive solution to deal with the voltage violations in distribution networks, from controlling PV power outputs and electricity consumption of smart appliances in real time to optimal placement of PVs at the planning stage. The dissertation is composed of three parts: the literature review, the work that has already been done and the future research tasks.
An overview on renewable energy generation and its challenges are given in Chapter 1. The overall literature survey, motivation and the scope of study are also outlined in the chapter. Detailed literature reviews are given in the rest of chapters. The overvoltage and undervoltage phenomena in typical distribution networks with integration of PVs are further explained in Chapter 2. Possible approaches for voltage quality control are also discussed in this chapter, followed by the discussion on the importance of the load management for PHEVs and appliances and its benefits to electric utilities and end users. A new real power capping method is presented in Chapter 3 to prevent overvoltage by adaptively setting the power caps for PV inverters in real time. The proposed method can maintain voltage profiles below a pre-set upper limit while maximizing the PV generation and fairly distributing the real power curtailments among all the PV systems in the network. As a result, each of the PV systems in the network has equal opportunity to generate electricity and shares the responsibility of voltage regulation. The method does not require global information and can be implemented either under a centralized supervisory control scheme or in a distributed way via consensus control. Chapter 4 investigates autonomous operation schedules for three types of intelligent appliances (or residential controllable loads) without receiving external signals for cost saving and for assisting the management of possible photovoltaic generation systems installed in the same distribution network. The three types of controllable loads studied in the chapter are electric water heaters, refrigerators deicing loads, and dishwashers, respectively. Chapter 5 investigates the method to mitigate overvoltage issues at the planning stage. A probabilistic method is presented in the chapter to evaluate the overvoltage risk in a distribution network with different PV capacity sizes under different load levels. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (K–S test) is used to identify the most proper probability distributions for solar irradiance in different months. To increase accuracy, an…

▼ This research investigates the effect of changes in
oil prices and
oil price volatility on the U.S. stock returns. The first essay tests whether the sign and the size of
oil price shocks matter for the U.S. stock returns. The results suggest a linear model provides a good approximation to the response of real stock returns to real
oil price innovations. However, this is not the case when the model is specified in terms of the nominal price of crude
oil.Using a modified structural VAR to accommodate GARCH-in-Mean errors, the second essay studies the direct effects of
oil price uncertainty on the U.S. stock returns at the aggregate and sectoral levels. We also simulate the response of U.S. stock returns to positive and negative
oil price shocks, to examine whether the responses to positive and negative shocks are symmetric.Estimation results suggest that there is no statistically significant effect of
oil price volatility on the U.S. stock returns. Moreover, the impulse responses indicate that
oil price increases and decreases have symmetric effects on the U.S. stock returns. Using high frequency data, thethird essay addresses the issue of uncertainty in
oil prices and its effect on U.S. stock returns, taking into account the day of the week effect. The results suggest that the-day-of-the-week effect is present in both the mean and volatility equations. The results also show that the U.S. stock market is sensitive to
oil price variations not only at the aggregate level but also across some industries, such as chemicals, entertainment, and retail, where uncertainty in
oil prices proves to have positive and statistically significant effect.

▼ It is expected that the discovery of oil and gas will propel economic growth and development. When Uganda and Ghana discovered oil and gas in commercial quantities in 2006 and 2007 respectively, there were high hopes that projects emanating from the sector would positively affect the two nations, particularly the project communities. Uganda and Ghana undertook projects following the discovery of oil: Uganda acquired lands for the construction of an oil refinery in Hoima District; and Ghana built a Gas Plant at Atuabo in the Ellembelle District in the Western Region. This study examined the effects of displacement, which resulted from land acquisitions for the two projects; and highlighted the roles played by institutions in the processes leading to the displacement, and how the interactions shape the outcome of the displacement of affected communities.
The study was guided by two key theories. The Impoverishment and Risk and Reconstruction (IRR) Model of Micheal Cernea (1997), which presents eight key risks associated with displacement. These are landless, homelessness, joblessness, marginalisation, food security, social disarticulation, morbidity and mortality. The actor-oriented approach underscores the role of different actors and interests in influencing development outcomes and Livelihood Framework was adopted and modified, informed by the IRR framework and the actor-oriented approach theory to develop a conceptual framework that guided the study. The study employed a mixed method approach. The qualitative was employed for both study areas and quantitative for the Ghana case study; and qualitative for interviews with relevant government institutions, traditional authorities of the project areas, and CSOs who were directly involved in the acquisition, resettlement and compensation processes Acknowledging the context and dynamics of both cases, the study found that the projects created both direct and indirect displacement in the project affected communities. In both countries, dialogue processes were informational rather than consultative. The consequences of the minimal consultation processes resulted in undervaluation of assets on the lands acquired and delayed payment of compensation. There was institutional interaction at various levels of the acquisition and project implementation processes where government, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and traditional authorities, played various roles in the interest of the state and the people.
While the two projects displaced people’s livelihoods through the loss of farmlands and housing among others, the people furthermore encountered institutional bureaucracy that delayed their effort in seeking redress on concerns that they had on the projects. The study recommends that the government of Ghana consider passing a law for prior payment of compensation before acquisition and taking over of land and other properties. In Uganda, laws on compulsory acquisition must empower owners of land and property affected by projects to engage private valuers at government…

▼ Electrocatalysis plays a critical role in the clean energy conversions nowadays, such as fuel cells and batteries. With the increasing population and energy demands, people are aiming to build a global-scale sustainable energy system in the future, which could convert the abundant N2, O2, water into more useful chemicals and fuels via electrocatalysis and electricity from renewable energies (e.g., wind, solar energy). Therefore, there is an urgent need to design electrocatalysts with higher activity, better stability, and higher selectivity. Two strategies are commonly applied to enhance the activity: 1) increase the number of active sites and 2) increase the intrinsic activity of each active site. By using support and alloying in our research, we could achieve both strategies simultaneously.
In this dissertation, I present several examples of confined intermetallic nanoparticles and MOF-derived nanomaterials for enhanced electrocatalysis. In chapter 2, I synthesized sub-4 nm monodispersed PtZn intermetallic nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes with the protection of mesoporous silica shell via high temperature annealing. Both specific activity and mass activity towards methanol oxidation reaction of smaller PtZn nanoparticles are greatly enhanced, revealing that the smaller particles not only increase the number of active sites but also increase the intrinsic activity of each site. Moreover, both DFT calculation and experimental results indicating PtZn systems go through a “non-CO pathway”, due to the stabilization of the *OH species by Zn atoms. Chapter 3 shows a facial synthesis of intermetallic nanoparticles as electrocatalysts via one-pot pyrolysis of ZIF-8 encapsulated metal nanoparticles. ZIF-8 works as both carbon source, zinc precursors, encapsulation shell in the formation of zinc-containing intermetallic nanoparticles supported by nitrogen doped carbon. This method allows the fine tuning of particle size and composition, and more importantly, provides high thermal stabilities up to 1000 ˚C. In chapter 4, I showed the enhanced hydrogen evolution activity of ordered Pt3Ti intermetallic nanoparticles supported by Ti3C2 Mxene sheet. We further demonstrated the enhanced activity is due to the strong synergistic effect between Pt3Ti and Mxene support. Chapter 5 shows the morphology inherence from hollow ZIFs to hollow carbons with superior activities of oxygen reduction reaction. The designed hollow carbons are not only having better mass transfer but also able to introduce the heteroatoms such as Fe onto the inner wall, which could promote the activity of ORR.

▼ With the population increase, the high demand of energy from the residential sector, as well as the harsh weather conditions of the Las Vegas region, there needs to be careful consideration in the design of new homes. Energy efficiency in a single family residential building can be augmented early in the design process by careful consideration of the building form and orientation. A systematic investigation and analysis was taken to study the effects of five building forms and different orientations along the cardinal points using the software BEopt version 2.4.0.1. To connect the study to real world circumstances, a residential development in the Las Vegas region was modified using the information found in this study to see how residential developers can design these communities and their buildings with optimized orientations for potential energy savings.
The cooling study gave the most diverse results for the different shapes analyzed, with some of the shapes outperforming others in different orientations. Even though the rectangular and square shapes have less surface areas, the L, U and courtyard shapes seemed to have benefited from self shading to reduce the cooling loads. The L and courtyard shapes in particular performed the best, with the U shape not far behind them. The square and rectangular shapes used more energy to cool the homes, specially the square shape. As an average between 3-5% more energy was spent in space conditioning in the square and rectangular shapes than the courtyard shape. Moreover, the rectangular shape showed the largest delta change and was more sensitive to an orientation change. The largest variation was as much as a 5% increase from south to south west.
The results for all of the shapes show that the greatest energy use is spent in heating the homes, as an average 3.08 to 4.05 more times than cooling, or 69.3% to 74.2%. of the total energy spent in space conditioning. The total heating results were more predictable and not as varied as the total cooling loads from the previous analysis. The smaller and more compact homes responded better and used less energy for space heating, with the square shape outperforming the other shapes in all orientations and the rectangle coming a close second. The courtyard shape behaved the opposite as it had for cooling, performing the worst of all the shapes studied.
The two shapes that performed the best for combined cooling and heating loads were the square and rectangle shapes, followed closely to the L-shape. Though the rectangular shape performed better in north and south orientations, from WSW 67.5° to NW 157.5° and from ENE 247.5° to SSE 337.5°, the square shape actually performed better than the rectangular shape along these orientations. Moreover, the L-shape was not far in performance to these two shapes, considering it had two more additional surfaces. As an average, it used 1.1% more energy than the rectangle and 1.7% more than the square. While the courtyard shape,…

▼ Energy conservation and intensity reduction efforts are becoming increasingly more prevalent and ultimately necessary, especially for energy-intensive manufacturing companies in particular to stay in business. Typical actions are to change technology, and thus, realize an energy cost savings in overall utilities. However, in today's competitive market, with climate change and other environmental impacts as well, it is necessary for the cost of energy to be valued as a cost of making a product, and thus, managed at the same level as the cost of labor or materials. This research assessed human behavior at the individual and organizational levels both at work and at home that either prompted or prohibited employees from taking daily action to conserve energy or develop greater energy efficient practices. Ultimately, the questions began with questions regarding employee views and knowledge of energy at work and at home and what drives both behaviors toward conservation or efficiency. And, the contribution identifies the key drivers, barriers, and/or incentives that affect those behaviors. The results of this study show that the key driver and motivator for energy conservation both at home and work is cost savings. The study showed that to further motivate individuals to conserve energy at home and work, more knowledge of the impact their actions have or could have as well as tools would be needed. The most poinient aspect of the research was the level of importance placed on energy conservation and the desire to conserve. The feedback given to the open ended questions was quite impressive regarding what employees have done and continue to do particularly within their homes to conserve energy. These findings brought about final recommendations that were in fact not expected but could significantly influence an increase in energy conservation at work by leveraging the existing desire to conserve which is a key component to decision making.

▼ In this study gasification of three different biomasses were performed to study the impact of process conditions and different feed stocks on final syngas composition. Final composition of the syngas determines the energy value of the resulting syngas and the suitability of syngas in chemical synthesis applications. Three kinds of feedstocks studied include switch grass pellets:wood chips 50:50 mixture, wood pellets:wood chips 50:50 mixture and wood pellets.
The effect of process conditions including temperature and feed stock composition on syngas composition were studied.
Gas chromatography was used to analyze the final
gas composition of syngas samples collected at five different temperature between 650 and 850 °C, in 50 °C intervals. A significant increase in CO and H
2 was observed with increasing temperature which results in increasing energy values of syngas ranging from 4.60 to 6.30 MJ/Kg for wood pellets, and from 4.79 to 6.06 MJ/Kg for the grass pellets:wood chip mixture. Increasing temperature also has a significant influence in CO/H
2 and CO
2/(CO
2 +CO) ratios which influences product selectivity in chemical synthesis. Different types of biomass also showed significant differences in
gas composition. Differences in elemental composition, for example grass pellets contain high Na, K and Mg, and wood chips containing high Ca and Fe, can explain the increased H
2 and CO
2 content in the gasification of grass pellets:wood chips 50: 50 mixture. These metal elements may also enhance the water
gas shift reaction which produces H
2 and CO
2 from H
2O and CO. High moisture content found in grass pellets and the presence of relatively high amounts of metal elements may enhance the water
gas shift reaction in the grass pellets:wood chips 50: 50 mixture. However high alkaline content along with high Si content forms clinkers which cause problems in gasifier operation.
Three kinds of thermal efficiency methods were used to evaluate the thermal efficiency of gasification of different types of biomasses: equivalence ratio method, elemental balance method and stoichiometric ratio method. From the results obtained, equivalence ratio method was predicted to be most suitable for the gasification system used in this study.

▼ A comparison of the distribution of earthquake foci with the fault map and the top of basement in northeastern Oklahoma shows that the majority of earthquakes have occurred well below the basement and that most of these earthquakes occurred between the major fault systems. The three earthquakes with moment magnitudes (Mw) of 5.0 or greater occurred quite near major fault zones, but apparently along their individual branches.

▼ This thesis reports on the design and assessment of a high-pressure test device for the evaluation of rapid
gas decompression (RGD) performance of elastomers. RGD damage is a common problem in elastomer seals used in industry applications. RGD results from when
gas is diffused in elastomers at high pressures and then is rapidly released from the elastomer when the ambient pressure is lowered rapidly. The resulting damage includes deformation, swelling, blistering, cracking, and, ultimately, failure of the elastomer
To understand the effects of different
gas depressurization rates on the elastomer, a commercial off-the-shelf high-pressure test vessel was obtained and modified. Additionally, components for introducing
gas, releasing the
gas at different rates, heating and temperature control, pressure sensing, data acquisition, and computer control were specified to create a complete test environment. A series of tests was conducted to evaluate the performance of the system based on the NORSOK M710 standard. Damage observed in the test samples is compared to other studies found in the literature. Qualitative correlations between observed damage and test parameters are also proposed. The test system was demonstrated at pressures to 10 ksi and temperatures to 250°F. The use of an actuated micrometering valve allowed depressurization linearly at 300 psi/min. However, the system as designed suffers from a 10% pressure loss during dwell time, does not provide linear depressurization rates below 250 psi/min, and requires a lengthy calibration procedure. Suggestions for addressing these shortcomings include re-machining the system to accept the factory-specified seal and designing a feedback system to control depressurization.

▼ Additionally, in this dissertation, performance prediction of multi-fractured horizontal wells is discussed. Horizontal well performance is tied to production logs with additional information from an image log study. This methodology helps to explain the performance seen in shale
gas wells and gives new insights into performance prediction. The approach is later extended to give a workflow for shale
gas field development. Using this approach, optimization can be performed on various economic parameters. The outcome of such optimization would be the lateral length of the horizontal well and the number of fracture stages.

▼ We quantified the occurrences of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in water wells in the Denver-Julesburg Basin and determined the extent to which
oil and
gas is responsible for contamination. Public environmental sampling records were downloaded with computer scripts between 1988 and 2016 from Colorado
Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) to find water wells where BTEX compounds were above their detection limits. There were 51 BTEX occurrences in water wells, and for each occurrence, we searched
oil and
gas wells within a half-mile radius for records on surface casing integrity that could indicate fluid or
gas leaks into aquifers. From the first BTEX occurrence in 2001 through 2012, there were 1.7 BTEX occurrences per year. After voluntary regulation by the Colorado
Oil and
Gas Association in 2012, there were 11 BTEX occurrences per year. We found only eight of the 51 water wells were resolved by the COGCC as having an
oil and
gas well responsible for the contamination. The COGCC stated poor water quality in five of the water wells was unrelated to
oil and
gas activity but did not acknowledge the presence of BTEX. Nine water wells had documentation for
oil and
gas well integrity issues or repairs. The remaining 29 water wells had no explanation for the source of BTEX. Five of the BTEX occurrences were above the respective MCL for Colorado drinking water; two of these occurrences above MCLs had no identified source from the COGCC. Thermogenic methane was present in 26% of the BTEX occurrences, which is another indicator of a
gas release from an
oil and
gas well. Biogenic methane was present in 49% of BTEX occurrences; biogenic methane could be from groundwater contact with coalbeds.

▼ In order to effectively cope with greater and widespread uncertainty, organizations have to manage risk efficiently. This is particularly relevant for business organizations in the energy sector, especially as the nature of their operations is by default challenged by a diverse set of hazards and risks. Accordingly, this research aims into developing an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework aligned with organizational strategies and objectives that is specific in nature and purpose to the oil and gas industry. Academic and practice literature reveal that there is very limited academic and professional literature into alignment of ERM with organisational strategies and objectives in oil and gas industry. In addition, despite the development of several ERM frameworks, many organizations are still facing challenges in aligning ERM with their key strategies and objectives. This is due to the fact that most of the existing frameworks are of a visionary nature and lack implementation guidance which required for implementing ERM effectively and successfully. This research investigates the drivers and barriers facing National Oil Companies (NOC's) along with ERM adoption in the Gulf Countries Council (GCC) region, particularly in Kuwait. To achieve this goal, this research employs the interpretivist approach to recognize the role ERM in a selected Kuwait-based petroleum corporation, Kuwait Petrol Company (KPC). The primary research data were collected and analysed within a qualitative paradigm, using a single-case study approach, which involves a sample of 30 respondents. Based on the empirical findings of this research which is mostly supported by the existing literature, it is quite evident that there is a need for a strategic and aligned ERM framework that is specific in nature and purpose to the oil and gas industry. The empirical findings also have highlighted the significance and the criticality of the proposed framework factors, which is critical for organisations to prioritise their ERM related activities. Along the development of strategic alignment framework that addresses the challenges and concerns of oil and gas industry, the key contribution of this research is the practical implementation guidance, which is intended to improve decision making, planning and prioritisation in oil and gas organizations by providing comprehensive and structured understanding of key ERM components. This research recommends further investigation into the effect of ERM components identified in this research with performance management. Moreover, the research recommends that as ERM is growing rapidly, future studies should be conducted to reveal and capture new factors into the proposed framework.

▼ The following thesis explores the development of oil
and gas resources in the province of Alberta between 1971 and 1985.
At its broadest, this thesis uses the interaction of government,
capital, and citizenry surrounding the exploitation of a
non-renewable energy resource to examine the social side of
resource development. These three actors approached oil and gas
resources with their own ideologies, tactics, and goals. The
relationships, disagreements, and debates between and among these
groups provide a glimpse into the social nature of resource
development in Alberta. They illustrate competing understandings of
resource development on the part of Alberta citizens, demonstrate
cleavages between citizens and elected officials, and lay bare the
politics of resource development in Alberta that marginalized,
manipulated, and devalued the meaningful participation of its
citizens.

▼ The ever increasing global
oil demand has forced the energy industry to provide artificial stimulation to many
oil wells to increase their productivity. A common way to do this is to install an electric submersible pump (ESP) in the wellbore to overcome the pressure losses associated with bringing hydrocarbons to the surface for processing. This type of artificial lift has become increasingly more popular in offshore
oil fields. When an ESP fails in a subsea well, the cost to replace it has been estimated to be as much as forty times the cost of the pump due to the high price of offshore rig time.
The increase in deep water
oil production over the past two decades has demanded that ESPs operate properly for as long as possible. One of the most common failure modes for ESPs arises from erosion by sediments (fine sand) in the flow. The journal bearings in the ESP are susceptible to erosion from these particles because the pump bearings are lubricated by the fluid flowing through the pump. Previous ESP erosion tests that were conducted at the Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M University show that the erosion caused by sand particles in the flow lead to ESP journal bearing erosion that ultimately caused the pump to fail.
This work provides the design, construction, and validation of a testing apparatus that was built to replicate a single ESP stage so that journal bearings can be eroded and evaluated to be used to design new bearings with a longer lifetime. The testing apparatus is capable of replicating the conditions of an ESP to conduct erosion studies on a journal bearing independent of the actual pump. This provides a cost effective way to test different bearing materials over a variety of different operating conditions.
The testing apparatus is capable of operating speeds up to 7200 RPM,
gas volume fractions (GVF) ranging from 0-100%, and different testing liquids (water or
oil). The testing apparatus was designed to collect bearing annulus dynamic pressure, temperature, and the radial loads the bearing experiences as well as measure the orbital displacement of the bearing. In addition, the bearing geometry can be measured and the surface can be observed at discrete time intervals.

▼ This thesis investigates some of the possible components of a multifunctional coating system to peotect
against erosion and corrosion for the pipelines in Qatar
oil and
gas production. The coating system is
divided in two parts according to the functions; the sacrificial and the barrier layer. The candidates were
evaluated separately against only corrosion. Erosion studies are part of the overall program, but not
part of this thesis. Zn, Al 1100 and Galvalume were chosen as the constituents of the sacrificial layer. A
group of panels coated with organic coating were donated by NOV Tuboscope and were tested as the
barrier layer. Also, three steel substrates (bare, burned-off and white-metal finish) were tested to
observe the substrate behavior. The Zn, Al 1100, Galvalume coated steel samples, and the steel panels
were tested for a week under constant immersion, while the coated panels were tested for 14-18 weeks
under constant immersion. The testing and constant immersion environments simulated to the
temperature, chloride concentration, and pH of the environment in the
oil and
gas pipelines in Qatar.
The solution used in these two environments was a-2000 ppm Cl- containing CO2 saturated NaCl-HCl
mixture at a pH of 3.5 and at 60 °C. To investigate the corrosion behavior of the Zn, Al 1100, Galvalume,
Open Circuit Potential, Polarization Resistance measurements and Electrochemical Impedance
Spectroscopy scans were conducted. Polarization Resistance was not conducted for the coated panels.
The data obtained from Open Circuit Potential and Polarization Resistance experiments were analyzed
via Echem Analyst (from Gamry Software) and the data obtained from Electrochemical Impedance
Spectroscopy was analyzed via Zview (version 3.2b) by fitting the data to electric circuit models. Even
though the corrosion behavior of Zn, Al 1100 and Galvalume was similar, the corrosion rate of the
samples showed that Al 1100 samples lasted longer. Therefore, they are more promising for as
candidates for the sacrifical layer. As expected, substrated steel presented very low corrosion resistance
for the entire time of testing. Almost all of the organic coatings showed no deterioration visually, though
some of the coatings exhibited lower coating resistance values than their initial value. The parameters
affecting the coating resistance and the coating capacitance are the filler amount, the coating thickness,
and the coating type. In addition, one of the coatings on the panels was subjected to the scratch study.
A handmade artifact was made on the coating to observe the healing properties of the coating after a
defect was observed on the surface.

▼ The objective of the study was to find out the dominant leadership style in Ghana‟s oil and gas industry. Guided by literature reviewed on traits theory, behavioral theory and contingency theory of leadership, data was collected from two hundred employees using a structured questionnaire. The study used the quantitative research approach. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation. The study found a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership style and employee commitment. However, although there was a positive relationship between transactional leadership and employee commitment it was not significant. It is also notable that transactional leadership style was found to be the dominant leadership style in Ghana‟s oil and gas industry. It was recommended that management of organizations should adopt the study findings as a guide to developing strategies aimed at achieving excellence in organizational leadership. Future research can look at this important topic across different industries where leadership is of great importance and significance.

▼ This project uses stakeholder evidence from semi-structured interviews to analyze the relative effectiveness of an
oil company’s stated “corporate social responsibility” (CSR) initiatives in a new, Arctic host community. Specifically, this project analyzes the outcomes of StatoilHydro initiatives to date in Hammerfest, Norway, where the Snøhvit (Snow White) natural
gas project began production in 2007. It gauges the ability of “socially responsible” approaches to development to internalize negative externalities and promote positive “spin-offs.” Arctic countries are increasingly prioritizing petroleum development. The convergence of dramatic climate change, increasing energy demands, and high energy prices has made the Arctic an alluring frontier for the
oil industry and Arctic governments. Small Arctic communities are increasingly playing host to large energy projects with the potential for dramatic cultural, social, environmental, and economic upheaval, but also economic growth and increased human capital. In this case study, CSR initiatives resulted in a broader accounting of social costs and benefits, an outcome that better internalized externalities, and pareto-improving trades between stakeholders and industry.

▼ The Great South Basin is one of New Zealand's largest undeveloped offshore basins and is known to have significant
oil and
gas prospects. The Great South Basin lies offshore from the coast of Southland and South Otago, and at over 85,000 km2 is one of New Zealand’s largest petroleum basins. Understanding the "plumbing" of the Great South Basin through seismic imaging of fault and fracture systems provides information on
oil and
gas migration pathways and success of seals and traps within the basin. Reprocessing of high-resolution industry seismic data has improved images of the shallow sea floor. Interpretations of these reprocessed lines provide basic information on the morphology of the Toroa Dome Reef Complex. Further reprocessing, including near-trace and far-trace stacks, examinations of amplitude and phase change, FX-space deconvolution and filtering of noise has helped to confirm that the reefs have variable size and structure but in all cases are much harder than the surrounding seabed. The reflectivity contrast of the seafloor reefs relative to the overlying water column is so great that wipe out occurs below the reef, obscuring internal structures. The reefs are interpreted to be volcanic in origin. However the possibility that the reefs consist of methane-derived carbonate is possible. A mud volcano origin has been discounted. Future work based around high frequency seismic surveys and a dredge sampling program could solve remaining uncertainties about the reefs' origins.

▼ During the first eight years of former President Putin in office, the Russian economy made giant steps in order to catch up with her Western rivals. The legislative processes that former President Yeltsin launched in order to concentrate the power in the President’s hand, were successful and these measures paved the way towards a semi-authoritarian regime.
The developments achieved by Mr. Putin could not have been carried out without relying massively on Russia’s vast
gas and
oil supplies.
First and foremost the paper tries to show the significance of these scarce resources through various examples, global trends and patterns.
The paper will also allow the reader to learn how possessing natural resources can influence political systems and what effects they had on Russia.
One of the main goals of the paper is to reveal what factors have contributed to the re-emergence of the Russia Federation since 2000 by analyzing transition trends and policy goals. A brief explanation of political hows, will facilitate the further understanding of the changes that had been ongoing between 2000 and 2008.
These goals that have already been mentioned, directed to support my thesis which says that President Putin learning from and influenced by the past, is using his presidential power (which derives from the massive and skillful restructuring of the political system) to control
gas and
oil extracting, trade, marketing in the country, in order to use them as collateral over Central Europe and broadly over the EU.

▼ Drilling operations and extraction of
oil and
gas
(O&G) may lead to subsurface slumping or compression of
sediments due to reduced vertical principal stress which may lead
to small earthquakes at the drilling site. O&G extraction is
common in the northern Gulf of Mexico (NGM) and only thirty-five
earthquakes of magnitudes between 2.3 and 6.0 have been recorded in
the area from 1974 to the present. The purpose of this research is
to detect more earthquakes using stacks of seismic data from the
Transportable USArray (TA) from 2011 to 2013, and determine the
spatiotemporal relationship between the detected earthquakes and
O&G extraction. Five new small offshore earthquakes, that may
be associated with the offshore O&G production, have been
detected in the data. Spatial correlation of the epicenters with
offshore drilling sites shows that the earthquakes may be due to
the O&G extraction.

▼ OFI Testing Equipment, Inc. (OFITE) is a manufacturer of laboratory testing equipment in the upstream
oil and
gas industry. This paper measures the dependency of OFITE's revenues on the price of
oil. Moreover, the paper outlines a revenue forecast based on the price of Brent crude
oil. The analysis finds that over 94% of the variability in OFITE's revenues is explained by the price of Brent
oil. This information is important to OFITE owners and management if they wish to increase revenues when
oil prices are flat or decreasing. A diversification strategy is one avenue owners could take to lessen OFITE's dependency on the price of
oil.

▼ There are many advantages in floating wind turbines in deep waters, however, there are also significant technological challenges associated with it too. The dynamic excitation of wind and waves can induce excessive motions along each of the 6 degrees of freedom (6-DOF) of the floating platforms. These motions will then be transferred to the turbine, and directly impact the wake characteristics of the floating wind turbines, and consequently the resultant wind loadings and performances of the wind turbines sited in offshore wind farms.
In the present study, a comprehensive experimental study was performed to analyze the performance, loading, and the near wake characteristics of a rigid wind turbine model subjected to surge, heave, and pitch motions. The experimental study was performed in a large-scale atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel with a scaled three-blade Horizontal Axial Wind Turbine model placed in a turbulent boundary layer airflow with similar mean and turbulence characteristics as those over a typical offshore wind farm. The base of the 1:300 scaled model wind turbine was mounted on translation and rotation stages. These stages can be controlled to generate surge, pitch and heave motions to simulate the dynamic motions experienced by floating offshore wind turbines. During the experiments, the velocity scaling method was chosen to maintain the similar velocity ratios (i.e., the ratios of the incoming airflow flow to that of turbine base motion) between the model and the prototype.
During the experiments, a high resolution digital particle image velocimetry (PIV) system was used to achieve flow field measurements to quantify the characteristics of the turbulent vortex flow in the near wake of the wind turbine model. Besides conducting ‘‘free run’’ PIV measurements to determine the ensemble-averaged statistics of the flow quantities such as mean velocity, Reynolds stress, and turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) distributions in the wake flow, ‘‘phase-locked’’ PIV measurements were also performed to elucidate further details about evolution of the unsteady vortex structures in the wake flow in relation to the position of the rotating turbine blades. The effects of the surge, heave, and pitch motions of the wind turbine base on the wake flow characteristics were examined in great details based on the PIV measurements. The findings derived from the present study can be used to improve the understanding of the underlying physics for optimal mechanical design of floating offshore wind turbines, as well as the layout optimization of floating offshore wind farms.
Although, the mean power measurement results show little difference between the oscillating turbine and the bottom fixed turbine, but the excessive fluctuations in the power output of the oscillating turbine is anticipated to greatly reduce the power quality of such floating turbines. The load measurements also show substantial amount of difference both in terms of mean and the fluctuating components. The results of the wake study reveal that the wake of a…

▼ Power systems over the recent past few years, has undergone dramatic revolution in terms of government and private investment in various areas such as renewable generation, incorporation of smart grid to better control and operate the power grid, large scale energy storage, and fast responding reactive power sources. The ongoing growth of the electric power industry is mainly because of the deregulation of the industry and regulatory compliance which each participant of the electric power system has to comply with during planning and operational phase.
Post worldwide blackouts, especially the year 2003 blackout in north-east USA, which impacted roughly 50 million people, more attention has been given to reactive power planning. At present, there is steady load growth but not enough transmission capacity to carry power to load centers. There is less transmission expansion due to high investment cost, difficulty in getting environmental clearance, and less lucrative cost recovery structure. Moreover, conventional generators close to load centers are aging or closing operation as they cannot comply with the new environmental protection agency (EPA) policies such as Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and MACT. The conventional generators are getting replaced with far away renewable sources of energy. Thus, the traditional source of dynamic reactive power support close to load centers is getting retired. This has resulted in more frequently overloading of transmission network than before. These issues lead to poor power quality and power system instability. The problem gets even worse during contingencies and especially at high load levels.
There is a clear need of power system static and dynamic monitoring. This can help planners and operators to clearly identify severe contingencies causing voltage acceptability problem and system instability. Also, it becomes imperative to find which buses and how much are they impacted by a severe contingency. Thus, sufficient static and dynamic reactive power resource is needed to ensure reliable operation of power system, during stressed conditions and contingencies. In this dissertation, a generic framework has been developed for filtering and ranking of severe contingency. Additionally, vulnerable buses are identified and ranked.
The next task after filtering out severe contingencies is to ensure static and dynamic security of the system against them. To ensure system robustness against severe contingencies optimal location and amount of VAR support required needs to be found. Thus, optimal VAR allocation needs to be found which can ensure acceptable voltage performance against all severe contingency. The consideration of contingency in the optimization process leads to security constrained VAR allocation problem. The problem of static VAR allocation requirement is formulated as minlp. To determine optimal dynamic VAR installation requirement the problem is solved in dynamic framework and is formulated as a Mixed Integer Dynamic Optimization (MIDO).
Solving the VAR allocation…

▼ Renewable fuel is receiving an increasing attention as a substitute for fossil based energy. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has employed increasing effort on promoting the advanced biofuel productions. Although the advanced biofuel remains at its early stage, it is expected to play an important role in climate policy in the future in the transportation sector. This dissertation studies the emerging biofuel supply chain and markets by analyzing the production cost, and the outcomes of the biofuel market, including blended fuel market price and quantity, biofuel contract price and quantity, profitability of each stakeholder (farmers, biofuel producers, biofuel blenders) in the market. I also address government policy impacts on the emerging biofuel market.
The dissertation is composed with three parts, each in a paper format. The first part studies the supply chain of emerging biofuel industry. Two optimization-based models are built to determine the number of facilities to deploy, facility locations, facility capacities, and operational planning within facilities. Cost analyses have been conducted under a variety of biofuel demand scenarios. It is my intention that this model will shed light on biofuel supply chain design considering operational planning
under uncertain demand situations. The second part of the dissertation work focuses on analyzing the interaction between the key stakeholders along the supply chain. A bottom-up equilibrium model is built for the emerging biofuel market to study the competition in the advanced biofuel market, explicitly formulating the interactions between farmers, biofuel producers, blenders, and consumers. The model
simulates the profit maximization of multiple market entities by incorporating their competitive decisions in farmers’ land allocation, biomass transportation, biofuel production, and biofuel blending. As such, the equilibrium model is capable of and appropriate for policy analysis, especially for those policies that have complex ramifications and result in sophisticate interactions among multiple stakeholders.
The third part of the dissertation investigates the impacts of flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) market penetration levels on the market outcomes, including cellulosic biofuel production and price, blended fuel market price, and profitability of each stakeholder in the biofuel supply chain for imperfectly competitive biofuel markets. In this paper, I investigate the penetration levels of FFVs by incorporating the substitution among different fuels in blended fuel demand functions through “cross price elasticity” in
a bottom-up equilibrium model framework. The complementarity based problem is solved by a Taylor expansion-based iterative procedure. At each step of the iteration, the highly nonlinear complementarity problems with constant elasticity of demand functions are linearized into linear complimentarity problems and solved until it converges. This model can be applied to investigate the interaction between the stakeholders in the biofuel market, and to assist…

▼ An investigation into the effect of moisture augmentation by manipulation of food waste proportion or wastewater treatment plant biosolids proportion was undertaken to determine the effects on production of methane and other biogases from municipal solid waste (MSW). Laboratory microcosm experiments were performed to determine the effect of various proportions of influent waste streams on the production of biogas. Results indicated that moisture augmentation through the addition of food waste to MSW increases the overall bio-
gas and hydrogen
gas formed during fermentation. Moisture augmentation through addition of wastewater treatment bio-solids lead to inconclusive results. Addition of food waste to MSW would allow for an increase in combustible
gas production through formation of additional hydrogen
gas in arid region landfills.

▼ Graphite has the potential for inclusion in nuclear waste for disposal in waste repository settings. Implementation of High Temperature
Gas-cooled Reactors contributes to this potential through use of TRISO fuel, if direct disposal of the graphite matrix surrounding the fuel is employed. The inclusion of the large mass and volume in the TRISO fuel waste form differs significantly from used light water reactor fuel waste forms, requiring new performance models to describe the behavior in a repository setting. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for the graphite to improve actinide, specifically uranium and neptunium, retardation from the waste form.
A review of the literature exposed no specific data on neptunium interactions with graphite, so experimental study was employed. Uranium and neptunium sorption behavior was evaluated across a range of conditions through batch experiments. Solid/liquid ratios and temperature experiments were performed to evaluate possible effects on uranium sorption. Temperature was found to have a significant impact on measured sorption. Neptunium metal concentrations, pH range, counterion concentration experiments were performed for neptunium. Neptunium sorption appears to follow a linear isotherm, at the concentration range used. The partitioning to graphite was weakly influenced by pH, with a maximum Kd of 4.6 (ml/g). The ionic behavior showed that both the specific counterion, when switched from Cl
- to ClO
4-, and concentration inhibits sorption,
The desorption kinetics were evaluated for neptunium using batch experiments, revealing close to negligible desorption once sorbed. Based on the results, even though low sorption occurs for neptunium, the negligible desorption allows graphite to significantly impact neptunium transport with respect to graphite mass. Surface complexation models were evaluated. Although a Triple Layer (TL) model was suggested for use, more data is needed (counterion influence) before implementation can be accomplished.
