-
(2017)The preponderance of evidence shows that the warming of the climate system affects natural systems, leading to accelerations in the global hydrological cycle. This thesis discusses hydrological processes and introduces a ...
-
(2017)This research performs extensive experimental and computational studies on natural gas hydrates with MEG and other ingredients by utilising the PVT cell, autoclave and MEG pilot facility. The research investigated; the ...
-
(2017)Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) generated by Laser Ablation Synthesis in Solution (LASiS) were encapsulated and stabilised by a variety of ligands in solution. The encapsulation ligands where chosen to utilise the N-donor ...
-
(2017)Due to the poor repeatability of land seismic surveys, onshore time-lapse seismic is not widely used in reservoir monitoring. However, time-lapse VSP seismic techniques can be used in addition to land seismic to increase ...
-
(2017)The work in this thesis aims to improve the sensitivity of amperometric sensors towards gases such as ammonia, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen, and oxygen in room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). To achieve this, electrode ...
-
(2016)I investigate the capability of stochastic inversion to estimate dynamic reservoir properties and their uncertainty from time-lapse seismic data. To this end, I develop a multidisciplinary stochastic inversion workflow ...
-
(2017)With the continuous rise in energy demand and decline in conventional reserves, the oil industries are constantly in search of inventive and novel approaches to optimize hydrocarbon recovery potentials, despite, several ...
-
(2017)WA Wheatbelt landholders’ perceptions of natural resource management extension and methods used to encourage adoption were investigated. A mixed method study using a quantitative online survey followed by qualitative ...
-
(2017)This thesis proposed a novel fuzzy-based approach for quantitative reasoning of goals in the i* framework for early requirements engineering. The fuzzy-based quantitative approach is extended by using an operation research ...
-
(2017)Electrical properties of rocks are important parameters for well-log and reservoir interpretation. However, laboratory measurements are time-consuming and difficult. I develop here a comprehensive and robust methodology ...
