Impact of an integrated seismic data processing approach by Semaan, Mars E.

“…The fifth is an event specific AVO inversion technique based on the fact that for a given porous lithologic unit, the behavior of the P-wave reflection amplitudes versus offset will vary depending on whether the pore spaces are filled with water, oil or gas. Data examples show that the above mentioned integrated seismic approach increased the interpreter's confidence of the prospect and led to a successful drilling program.…”

Enhancement of polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane with third generation poly(amido amine)-graphene oxide nanocomposite by Ahmed T. Yasir (16518552)

“…The abundance of -OH and -NH2 groups on the synthesized nanocomposites resulted in improved hydrophilicity of the membrane and aided improving the membrane porosity and increased its pore radius. As a result, the membrane pure water permeation flux increased by 1300 % for the new membrane compared to pristine PSF membrane to reach a maximum of 124.5 LMH/bar while maintaining a high BSA rejection rate of 99 % with a flux recovery rate of 55 %. …”
