  2. Reservoir modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_modeling

    Reservoir simulation models are created by reservoir engineers and use finite difference methods to simulate the flow of fluids within the reservoir, over its production lifetime. Sometimes a single "shared earth model" is used for both purposes. More commonly, a geological model is constructed at a relatively high (fine) resolution.

  3. Reservoir simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_simulation

    The reservoir model should be distinguished from its design scheme, which takes into account only the geometric shape of the reservoir. For example, a reservoir model may be a stratified heterogeneous reservoir. In the design scheme, the reservoir with the same model of it can be represented as a reservoir of a circular shape, a rectilinear ...

  4. Geologic modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_modelling

    For example, in the oil and gas industry, realistic geologic models are required as input to reservoir simulator programs, which predict the behavior of the rocks under various hydrocarbon recovery scenarios. A reservoir can only be developed and produced once; therefore, making a mistake by selecting a site with poor conditions for development ...

  5. Runoff (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_(hydrology)

    A well known runoff model is the linear reservoir, but in practice it has limited applicability. The runoff model with a non-linear reservoir is more universally applicable, but still it holds only for catchments whose surface area is limited by the condition that the rainfall can be considered more or less uniformly distributed over the area ...

  6. Reservoir engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_engineering

    Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the fluid flow through a porous medium during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery. The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology, applied mathematics, and the basic ...

  7. Hydrological model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrological_model

    The linear-reservoir model (or Nash model) is widely used for rainfall-runoff analysis. The model uses a cascade of linear reservoirs along with a constant first-order storage coefficient, K, to predict the outflow from each reservoir (which is then used as the input to the next in the series).

  8. Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

    Map of Cape Cod showing shores undergoing erosion (cliffed sections) in yellow, and shores characterized by marine deposition (barriers) in blue. [1]Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.

  9. Tributary - Wikipedia

    Nam Khan flows into the Mekong at Luang Prabang in Laos.. A tributary, [1] or an affluent, [2] is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream (main stem or "parent"), river, or a lake. [3]
