    Abstract: This volume contains papers of the 9th European Workshop on the Seismic Behaviour of Irregular and Complex Structures (9EWICS) held in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2020. This workshop, organized at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, continued the successful three-annual series of workshops started back in 1996. Its organization had the sponsorship of Working Group 8 (Seismic Behaviour of Irregular and Complex Structures) of the European Association of Earthquake Engineering. This international event provided a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas and unveiled new insights on the possibilities and challenges of irregular and complex structures under seismic actions. The topics addressed include criteria for regularity, seismic design of irregular structures, seismic assessment of irregular and complex structures, retrofit of irregular and complex structures, and soil-structure interaction for irregular and complex structures. Beyond an excellent number of interesting papers on these topics, this volume includes the papers of the two invited lectures – one devoted to irregularities in RC buildings, including perspectives in current seismic design codes, difficulties in their application and further research needs, and another one dedicated to the challenging and very up to date topic in the area of seismic response of masonry building aggregates in historical centers. This volume includes 26 contributions from authors of 11 countries, giving a complete and international view of the problem. The holds particular interest for all the community involved in the challenging task of seismic design, assessment and/or retrofit of irregular and complex structures.

    Geomechanical Aspects of Operation of Underground Gas Storage (2023)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Geology. ; Sedimentology. ; Geophysics. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geology. ; Sedimentology. ; Geophysics.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Analysis of existing approaches to solving the problem of sand production during the operation of UGS wells -- Chapter 2: Experimental facilities for studying the deformation and strength properties of rocks and geomechanical modelling -- Chapter 3: Methodology for performing TILTS experiments to study the deformation, strength and filtration properties of rocks -- Chapter 4: Results of TILTS testing of the deformation, strength and filtration characteristics of reservoir rocks at uderground gas storage facilities based on triaxial tests -- Chapter 5: Geomechanical modelling of the stress-strain state in UGS reservoirs during cyclic changes in reservoir pressure and downhole pressure -- Chapter 6: Physical modelling programs of rock deformation and fracture in the near-wellbore zone of USG during gas injection and extraction -- Chapter 7: Results of physical modelling of deformation and filtration processes in the bottomhole zone of ugs wells during gas extraction and injection -- Chapter 8: Rationale for the possibility of using the directed unload reservoir method (DUR method) to increase rock permeability in the bottomhole zone of UGS wells -- Chapter 9: Justification of predictive recommendations for maximum and minimum allowable drawdowns, well flow rates and prevention of sand production.
    Abstract: This book is devoted to the most important and urgent problems arising during the operation of underground gas storage facilities (UGS) and associated with the destruction of the reservoir and sand production into the wells. UGS facilities play a special role in ensuring high reliability of stable and guaranteed gas supplies to consumers. However, despite many years of experience in UGS well operation, there is still no sufficiently substantiated geomechanical model of reservoir failure and a mathematical description of the processes occurring in the reservoir-well system, taking into account the peculiarities of the mechanical behavior of reservoir rocks during cyclic injection and extraction of gas. As a result, there are no reliable criteria for establishing a rational regime for the operation of an UGS wells in conditions of a possible destruction of reservoir rocks. Further development of underground gas storage direction requires the introduction of innovative technologies that can be used both in the design of new UGS facilities and to extend the safe and efficient operation of existing underground gas storage facilities. To solve these problems, the most promising technologies, taking into account their efficiency, relatively low cost and environmental safety, are those based on the geomechanical approach. The book is addressed to specialists in the development and operation of underground gas storage facilities, as well as specialists in geomechanics of oil and gas fields. It can be useful for students and graduate students studying in the speciality "Development of oil and gas fields".

    Shale Hydrocarbon Recovery : Basic Concepts and Reserve Estimation (2023)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Geophysics. ; Sedimentology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geophysics. ; Sedimentology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Definitions, History, and Differentiating Characteristics of Shale Hydrocarbon Recovery -- Chapter 2. Drilling, Completion, and Monitoring Operations -- Chapter 3. Reserve Estimation Through Rate-time Analysis -- Chapter 4. Rate-pressure-time Analysis for Reserve Estimation.
    Abstract: The main focus of this book is to show the challenges specific to shale hydrocarbon recovery and the practices to overcome these challenges. This book starts with an overview to the technological evolution that led to successful production of shale plays, and the implications of the shale being a source rock for its hydrocarbon recovery. The second chapter presents the operations of well drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and monitoring activities. Chapter 3 provides an overview of the available methods for reserve estimation of shale resources followed by comprehensive coverage of decline curve analysis (DCA). In a departure from the mostly empirical rate-time DCA methods covered in Chapter 3, advanced rate-time-pressure analysis – often referred to as rate transient analysis (RTA) - methods are presented in Chapter 4. Chapter 4 ends with discussing the complications of fluid flow in shale reservoirs and the required modeling improvements.

    State of the Art in Deep Geothermal Energy in Europe : With Focus on Direct Heating (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Geophysics. ; Renewable energy sources. ; Geology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geophysics. ; Renewable Energy. ; Geology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction to Geothermal Systems -- Geothermal Potential across Europe -- Technologies for Deep Geothermal Energy -- Risks and Barriers -- Summary and Conclusions.
    Abstract: Since nearly 50 % of Europe's energy demand is in the heating and cooling sector, it is expected that geothermal energy will play an important role in the transition to a decarbonized energy system. However, deep geothermal energy is currently harvested mainly from areas with very favorable geothermal conditions. As these areas are geographically limited, the use of geothermal energy in less favorable regions is essential for unleashing the full potential of geothermal energy, since they make up the majority of the total geothermal potential in Central Europe. Motivated by the growing interest in deep geothermal energy among, e.g., energy companies and communities, this text reviews the state of the art in deep geothermal energy with focus on direct heating in geothermally less favorable regions. It provides an overview of technologies used to generate heat from the deep underground and discusses main technical and non-technical risks associated with deep geothermal projects. The text addresses readers with an interest in geothermal energy but does not require a background in geoscience or engineering sciences. It is suitable as textbook for Geothermal Energy courses for undergraduate students from different disciplines.

    Seismic Data Interpretation and Evaluation for Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production : A Practitioner’s Guide (2021)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Geophysics. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geophysics.
    Abstract: This book is meant for geoscientists and engineers who are beginners, and introduces them to the field of seismic data interpretation and evaluation. The exquisite seismic illustrations and real case examples interspersed in the text help the readers appreciate the interpretation of seismic data in a simple way, and at the same time, emphasize the multidisciplinary, integrated practical approach to data evaluation. A concerted effort has been made for the readers to realize that mindless interpretation of seismic data using sophisticated software packages, without having a grasp on the elementary principles of geology and geophysics, and coupled with their over-reliance on workstations to provide solutions can have appalling results all too very often.
