Frequency Limitation for Triaxial Induction Tools and Dielectric Tools in 1-D Multi-Layered Transverse Isotropic Formation
(2016-05-11)Triaxial induction tools are used in well logging to efficiently measure formation anisotropy including reservoir rocks that show anisotropy, such as thin laminated reservoirs. Dielectric tools are mainly used to detect ... -
Frequency, Attention, and Phonetic Characteristics that Influence the Right-Ear Advantage for Speech Perception
(2011-12)The right-ear advantage (REA) for linguistic stimuli (Kimura, 1961, 1967) is thought to represent an asymmetry of speech perception favoring the left hemisphere. This study seeks to clarify how the REA is altered by: ... -
FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT AMPLITUDE ANALYSIS FOR OIL DETECTION WITHIN THE MIDDLE JURASSIC SEDIMENTARY ROCKS IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF WESTERN SIBERIA
(2015-05)The Middle Jurassic (Ju3-4) sandstone reservoirs are characterized by the presence of non-structural types of traps, which are usually located on the slopes of anticlines and have stratigraphic, tectonic, and lithological ... -
Frequency-scale effect in elastic periodic muti-layered media
(2012-12)In general, a reservoir is formed by laminated layers of shale, sand, and other types of lithologies. Each layer has different elastic properties that are described by its own stiffness tensor, density, and thickness. A ... -
