  • Rock physics modeling of sandstone reservoir from gas fields of Krishna-Godavari basin represents the link between reservoir parameters and seismic properties. The rock physics diagnostic models such as contact cement, constant cement and friable sand are chosen to characterize reservoir sands of two wells in this basin. Cementation is affected by the grain sorting and cement coating on the surface of the grain. The models show that the reservoir sands in two wells under examination have varying cementation from 2 to more than 6%. Distinct and separate velocity-porosity and elastic moduli-porosity trends are observed for reservoir zones of two wells. A methodology is adopted for generation of Rock Physics Template (RPT) based on fluid replacement modeling for Raghavapuram Shale and Gollapalli Sandstones of Early Cretaceous. The ratio of P-wave velocity to S-wave velocity (Vp/Vs) and P-impedance template, generated for this above formations is able to detect shale, brine sand and gas sand with varying water saturation and porosity from wells in the Endamuru and Suryaraopeta gas fields having same shallow marine depositional characters. This RPT predicted detection of water and gas sands are matched well with conventional neutron-density cross plot analysis.

  • In rock drilling, the most important characteristic to clarify is the wear of the drill bits. The reason that the rock drill bits fail with time is wear. In dry sliding contact adhesive wear deteriorates the materials in contact, quickly, and is the result of shear fracture in the momentary contact joins between the surfaces. This paper aims at presenting an overview of the assessment of WC/Co cemented carbide (CC) tricone bit in rotary drilling. To study wear of these bits, two approaches have been used in this research. Firstly, the new bits were weighted before they mounted on the drill rigs and also after completion their useful life to obtain bit weight loss percentage. The characteristics of the rock types drilled by using such this bit were measured, simultaneously. Alternatively, to measure contact wear, namely, matrix wear a micrometer has been used with a resolution of 0.02 mm at different direction on the tricone bits. Equivalent quartz content (EQC), net quartz content (QC), muscovite content (Mu), coarseness index (CI) of drill cuttings and compressive strength of rocks (UCS) were obtained along with thin sections to investigate mineralogical properties in detail. The correlation between effective parameters and bit wear were obtained as result of this study. It was observed that UCS shows no significant correlation with bit wear. By increasing CI and cutting size of rocks wear of bit increases.

  • The study of behavior and values of deformations in the geological medium makes the scientific basis of the methodology of synthesis of true values of parameters of its physico-mechanical and density properties taking into account the influence of geodynamic impacts. The segments of continuous variation of homogeneous elastic uniform deformations are determined under overall compression of the medium. The limits of these segments are defined according to the criteria of instability (on geometric form changes and on "internal" instability). Analytical formulae are obtained to calculate current and limiting (critical) values of deformations within the framework of various variants of small and large initial deformations of the non-classically linearized approach of non-linear elastodynamics. The distribution of deformation becomes non-uniform in the medium while the limiting values of deformations are achieved. The proposed analytical formulae are applicable only within homogeneous distribution of deformations. Numerical experiments are carried out for various elastic potentials. It is found that various forms of instability can precede phase transitions and destruction. The influence of these deformation phenomena should be removed while the physico-mechanical and density parameters of the deformed media are determined. In particular, it is necessary to use the formulae proposed in this paper for this purpose.

  • To facilitate the carriage of goods and products, an improvement of the transportation system is greatly needed in Korea. The construction of the Kyung Bu canal that can traverse over the wide area of southern Korea os proposed to be one of the most favorable choices to resolve this need. To fulfill this plan, we investigated the possibility of connecting the Han River (in the midwest) with the Nak-tong River (in the southeast) via the Cho-ryeong tunnel (20.5 km long and 125 m high). According to topographic and geological mapping analysis, we are capable of selecting the optimal locations for the tunnels and locking systems. The water requirement for high locking systems can be satisfied by constructing additional dams above the Choong-ju area or by introducing water saving lock system. The results of our investigation support the idea such a canal system, if constructed, could lead to a revolution of the Korea's transportation system.

  • P파 및 SH파 굴절법 토모그래피와 표면파 분산자료 역산을 통하여 2차원 P파와 S파 속도단면을 얻었다. 두 방법으로 구한 S파 속도단면을 비교한 결과, 두 단면의 전체적인 양상은 서로 비슷하지만, 표면파 역산으로 구한 S파 속도단면이 전반적으로 작은값을 갖는다. SH파는 잡음에 매우 취약하고, P파와 PS 전환파의 도달 이후에 기록되어 초동선택이 어려운 문제가 있으며, 표면파의 분산곡선 역산은 균질한 수평지구모델을 가정하므로, 수평적 변화 심한 곳에서는 정확한 지하구조를 밝히는데 한계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 북극과 남극의 해빙을 촬영한 Kompsat-1 EOC 영상을 SSM/I Sea Ice Concentration(SIC)과 비교하였다. EOC 영상은 2005년 $7{\sim}8$월 북극 해빙지역의 가장자리를 지나는 10개 궤도(624 영상)와 $9{\sim}11$월 남극대륙의 가장자리를 지나는 11개 궤도(676 영상)에서 얻어졌다. 그 중 구름의 영향이 없는 약 12%의 영상으로부터 감독분류와 육안분류를 통해 Multi-year ice와 First-year ice(M+F), Young ice(Y), New ice(N)로 해빙의 유형을 구분하여 SIC를 계산하였으며, 이를 NASA Team Algorithm(NTA)으로 계산된 SSM/I SIC와 비교하였다. 북극의 여름철에는 해빙의 시공간적 변화가 매우 크기 때문에 EOC SIC(M+F+Y+N)와 SSM/I SIC의 상관계수는 0.671로 잘 일치하지 않았다. 남극의 봄철에 N을 제외한 EOC SIC(M+F+Y)의 경우 SSM/I SIC와 0.873의 높은 상관계수를 가졌다. 이로부터 NTA로 계산된 남극의 SSM/I SIC가 M과 F를 비롯하여 Y도 포함하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 2005년 남극의 해빙을 촬영한 Kompsat-1 EOC 영상을 이용하여 SSM/I와 AMSR-E 해빙 면적비를 비교, 분석하였다. EOC 영상은 남극의 봄철에 해당하는 9-11월 사이에 남극 대륙의 가장자리를 가로지르는 11 개 궤도로부터 총 676개 영상이 획득되었으며, 이 중 대기 및 광량 조건이 양호한 68개 의 영상을 선별하였다. EOC 영상에 감독분류 방볍 을 적 용하여 표면 유형 을 White ice(W), Grey ice(G), Dark-grey ice(D), Ocean(O)로 분류하였고 해빙 면적비를 산출하였으며, 이를 NASA Team Algorithm(NT)으로 계산된 SSM/I 해빙 면적비, NASA Team2 Algorithm(NT2)으로 계산된 AMSR-E 해빙 면적비와 비교하였다. 남극의 봄철에 SSM/I 해빙 면적비는 EOC W+G 면적비와 잘 일치하였고,AMSR-E 해빙 면적비는 EOC W+G+D 면적비와 좋은 상관성을 나타내었다. 따라서 이 시기의 남극 SSM/I NT 해빙 면적비는 W와 G만을 반영하며, AMSR-E NT2 해빙 면적비는 D도 포함하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 AMSR-E가 SSM/I보다 높은 해빙 면적비를 나타내는 것을 확인하였으며,두 수동 마이크로파 해빙 면적비의 차이는 EOC D 면적비와 높은 상관성을 보였다. 이로부터 EOC 영상에서 분류된 D와 NT2에 서 고려되는 Ice type C가 서로 유사한 해빙 유형임을 추정할 수 있었다.

  • A special upper-air observation including airsonde and pibal observations was performed to investigate the characteristics features of the vertical distribution of the meteorological elements over Taegu on a selected clear day of each season from October 1991 to August 1992. The diurnal and seasonal variations of the vertical profiles of air temperature and mixing ratio were obtained from airsonde observations and wind speed and direction from pibal observations. The results of these special upper-air observations are as follow : The diurnal variation of the vertical distribution of air temperature reveals the characteristic features associated with the atmospheric boundary layer. All case days, except for the summer season, show upper-level inversion layer which influenced by surface high, and surface inversion layer produced by radiative cooling. The diurnal variation of mixing ratio shows the maximum vale at 1500 LST in both the upper and low levels, and is larger on the lower level than the upper level. The mixing ratio of the lower level is larger than that of the upper level. On the average the mixing ratio decrease with the height, and is the wettest on the summer case day and the driest on the winter case day. The diurnal variation of the wind velocity and direction are variable in the lower level with time and height, while they are steady in the upper level. On the average, the wind direction is southerly or southeasterly for the summer case day, westerly or northwesterly for the spring and fall case days, and northerly or northwesterly for the winter case day.

  • The photometric light curves of the W-type W UMa eclipsing contact binary system BB Pegasi have been found to be extremely asymmetric over all the observed 63 years in all wavelengths UBVR. The light curves have been characterized by occultation primary minima. Hence, the morphology of these light curves has been studied in view of these different asymmetric degrees. The system shows a distinct O'Connell effect, as well as depth variation. A 22.96 years of stellar dark spots cycle has been determined for the system. Almost the same cycle (22.78 yr) has been found for the depth variation of MinI and MinII. We also present an analysis of mid-eclipse time measurements of BB Peg. The analysis indicates a period decrement of $5.62{\times}10^{-8}$ day/yr, which can be interpreted in terms of mass transfer at a rate of $-4.38{\times}10^{-8}M_{\odot}$/yr, from the more to the less massive component. The O - C diagram shows a damping sine wave covering two different cycles of 17.0 yr and 12.87 yr with amplitudes equal to 0.0071 and 0.0013 day, respectively. These unequal durations show a non-periodicity which may be explained as a result of magnetic activity cycling variations due to star spots. The obtained characteristics are consistent with similar chromospherically active stars, when applying the Applegate's (1992) mechanism.

  • Thermospheric neutral winds and temperatures have been collected from the ground-based Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) at Thule Air Base ($76.5^{\circ}N{\;}69.0^{\circ}W$), Greenland since 1985. The thermospheric observations are obtained by determining the Doppler characteristics f the [OI] 6300 ${\AA}$ emissions of atomic oxygen. The FPI operates routinely during the winter season, with a limitation in the observation by the existence of clouds. For this study, data acquired from 1985 to 1991 were analyzed. The neutral wind measurements from these long-term measurements are used to investigate the influence of solar cycle variation on the high-latitude thermospheric dynamics. These data provide experimental results of the geomagnetic polar cap are also compared with the predictions of two semiempirical models : the vector spherical harmonics (VSH) model of Killeen et al. (1987) and the horizontal wind model (HWM) of Hedin et al. (1991). The experimental results show a good positive correlation between solar activity and thermospheric wind speed over the geomagnetic polar cap. The calculated correlation coefficient indicates that an increase of 100 in F10.7 index corresponds to an increase in wind speed of about 100 m/s. The model predictions reveal similar trends of wind speed variation as a function of solar activity, with the VSH and HWM models tending to overestimate and underestimate the wind speed, respectively.
