Steve Cannon's cult classic novel returns to printDespite decades of notoriety as one of the "filthiest books in the world," Steve Cannon's first and only piece of longform fiction, Groove, Bang and Jive Around, has hardly been read since first being published in 1969. In the words of American poet Ishmael Reed, Cannon's debut work inspired a generation by breaking with staid literary modernism. Its publication "signaled a resurfacing of the irreverent, underground trickster tradition of Black orature." This erotic farce follows Annette, a teenage runaway, from the outhouse of a New Orleans juke joint to the psychedelic paradise of Oo-bla-dee--an idyllic country possibly founded by Dizzy Gillespie--by way of bacchanalian voodoo ritual. As Ophelia Press, its original publisher, wrote, Groove, Bang and Jive Around is an absolute necessity "for everyone who wants to know where and how the action takes place in Sex and Soul."Steve Cannon (1935-2019) moved to New York City in 1962 and joined the Umbra Workshop. He worked with and was a mentor to many artists and writers. In 1990 he founded the magazine and gallery A Gathering of the Tribes in New York City's East Village.

Reservoir management is fundamental to the efficient and responsible means of extracting hydrocarbons, and maximising the economic benefit to the operator, licence holders and central government. All stakeholders have a social responsibility to protect the local population and environment. The process of managing an oil or gas reservoir begins after discovery and continues through appraisal, development, production and abandonment; there is cost associated with each phase and a series of decision gates should be in place to ensure that an economic benefit exists before progress is made. To correctly establish potential value at each stage it is necessary to acquire and analyse data from the subsurface, the planned surface facilities and the contractual obligations to the end-user of the hydrocarbons produced. This is especially true of any improved recovery methods proposed or plans to extend field life. To achieve all the above requires a multi-skilled team of professionals working together with a clear set of objectives and associated rewards. The team's make-up will change over time, as different skills are required, as will the management of the team, with geoscientists, engineers and commercial analysts needed to address the issues as they arise. This book is designed as a guide for non-specialists involved in the process of reservoir management, which is often treated as a task for reservoir engineers alone: it is a task for all the disciplines involved in turning a exploration success into a commercial asset. Most explorers earn their bonus based on the initial estimates of in-place hydrocarbons, regardless of the ultimate cost of production; the explorers have usually moved on to a new basin before the first oil or gas is produced! This book is not a deeply academic tome, rather the description of a process enlivened by a number of stories and case studies from the author's forty years of experience in the oil-patch.

Petrophysics is the science of evaluating the rock and fluid properties of oil, gas and water reservoirs through the acquisition of physical samples, electrical, chemical, nuclear and magnetic data acquired by surface logging, downhole coring, and drilling and wireline sondes.

Why do musicians and music analysts deny that music is irreducibly social, or at least behave as if it isn't? The answer is itself socially specific. These writings examine the interaction between French popular music and French society, identity and culture.

Adventure sports changed his life. The Race to the Midnight Sun nearly ended it.Upside Down in the Yukon River is an inspiring true story of an ordinary guy from Iowa who attempts the world's longest kayak race, and ends up fighting for his very survival deep in the wilderness of Canada's Yukon Territory. Full of anticipation and fear, successes and failures, doubt and hope, Steve's story challenges each one of us to live every precious moment to the fullest, and reminds us all that our only real failure is a step never taken in pursuit of our dream.

Dieses maßgebliche Fachbuch erläutert die allgemeinen Abläufe bei der Modellierung von Speichern, von der Qualitätskontrolle der Daten und dem Projektmanagement, der Strukturmodellierung, Fazies- und Grundstücksmodellierung bis hin zu Upscaling und den Anforderungen an die dynamische Modellierung. Der Autor erläutert die strukturellen Elemente eines Models und untersucht sowohl seismische Interpretation als auch Tiefenumrechnung als wesentliche Unsicherheitsfaktoren bei der Volumenbestimmung. Er macht ebenfalls deutlich, wie weitreichende stratigraphische Beziehungen in die Rahmenbedingungen für Speicher integriert werden. Das Buch legt den Schwerpunkt auf die geostatische Modellierung von Fazies und Heterogenitäten, die die Verteilung von Speichereigenschaften, wie Porosität, Permeabilität und Wassersättigung, einschränken.Darüber hinaus werden die Rolle der Unsicherheitsanalyse bei statischen Modellen und deren Auswirkungen auf Volumenschätzungen betrachtet. Eingegangen wird auch auf eine Reihe typischer Ansätze bei der Modellierung spezifischer Speicher mithilfe von Fallstudien und anschaulicher Beispiele.- Praktischer Leitfaden für den Einsatz von Daten bei der Erstellung erfolgreicher Speichermodelle.- Greift auf die jüngsten Fortschritte bei 3D-Modellierungssoftware zurück.- Untersucht die Modellierung von Fazies, die verschiedenen Methoden und die Notwendigkeit, die geologische Interpretation von Kernen und Logs zu verstehen.- Bietet Informationen zum Upscaling der Strukturen und Eigenschaften von kleinen geologischen Modellen als Grundlage für eine dynamische Simulation.- Betont die Bedeutung eines interdisziplinären Teamansatzes.
