Bore-Hole Simulations for Oil and Gas Applications
Mohammed Hadi | mhadi@mines.edu
“Subterranean wave simulations through bore-hole telemetry has several applications including
1. Help guide targeted drill operations
2. Help anticipate dangerous gas pockets
3. Help in decision making to proceed from pilot drilling to full drilling operations
4. Help in disaster communications design through collapsed mines and caves”
