In the present study, consolidation behavior of clay contaminated with gas oil and kerosene has been investigated. The main objective was to determine the parameters associated with the value and rate of settlement of contaminated soil. Influence of various test parameters such as degree of contamination, contaminant type and density of samples were investigated on the consolidation behavior of kaolinite clay. Results show that by increasing the degree of contamination, Compressibility of soil increases while the consolidation coefficient and the permeability coefficient decrease Manuscript profile -

According to the relation of cementation factor and reservoir pressure changes, cementation factor is the most effective parameter in water saturation determination in the mentioned model, so the study of the effect of pressure on cementation factor is necessary. In this study, firstly carbonate core samples of a gas reservoir, in the south of Iran was classified by hydraulic flow unit delineation method. Then their cementation factors were determined by Archie equation and best fit curve method at ambient, 800, 2000, 3500, and 5000 psi pressures. The changes in cementation factor values due to increasing overburden pressure were evaluated in each hydraulic flow unit and their relationship with flow zone indicator (FZI) were studied by experimental equations (for 4 flow units 0.95<R2<0.99). In this study a relation between flow zone indicator for each hydraulic flow unit and cementation factor changes, due to the different pressures, were also obtained. The experimental results of studied reservoir cores shows that with increasing flow zone indicator the changes in cementation factors decreases. Manuscript profile -

In this article, Rock Types are determind by Electro Facies and Hydrolic Flow Units (HFU) method using the Core data, Gamma -Ray, Density and Neutron Porosity petrophysical logs of one of the Field’s wells. Rock Types determination can be a practical solution for categorizing reservoir’s facies aiming assesment of reservoir rock’s petrophysical properties and diffrentiating high potential producer zones from low potential ones. Hence clustering method based on Multi Resolution Graph-Based Clustering (MRGC) which is a “Non Parametric” statistical method, of umpteenth near value and graphical presentation of data, was implyed on Neutron Porosity, Density and Gamma-Ray logs to re-construct equivalent electro facies to the ones obtained from core. At the end, final clusters are formed by combining small clusters where five facies were recognized. The used method in this research eleminates the need of repeated coring and leads to a major cost and time saving. More over the Rock Types were also determind by Hydrolic Flow Units method. Hydrolic Flow Units is a method for categorizing the variety of Rocks according to their flowing properties based on geological and physical flow in pore scale. Five Rock Types were determind by this method also, which had good conformity with the ones from previous method in many locations. In some locations of course the results were not as good which could be as a result of non uniform sampling and human error. Manuscript profile -

ٍٍElahe SattariAbstract In this research, the Asmari Formation΄s benthic foraminifera at Tang-e Shivi north-western flank of Nowdan Anticline in north of Kazerun (Interior Fars), with geographic coordinates E: 51° 44' 58'' and N: 29° 47' 42'', have been studied in order to introduce MoreAbstract In this research, the Asmari Formation΄s benthic foraminifera at Tang-e Shivi north-western flank of Nowdan Anticline in north of Kazerun (Interior Fars), with geographic coordinates E: 51° 44' 58'' and N: 29° 47' 42'', have been studied in order to introduce assemblage zones, age and paleoecology and correlate the age of the Asmari Formation with sections in Costal Fars and Izeh Zone (Firozabad, Dill, Shagabil). Its upper and lower boundaries are comfortable with Gachsaran and Pabdeh formations. Three assemblage zones at the studied section were recognized based on benthic foraminifera and biostratigraphy study. Detected biozones reflect Oligocene (Rupelian and Chattian) and Miocene (Aquitanian) age for this studied deposits with 348 meters thickness. Assemblage zone 1, with Firozabad section and assemblage zone 2 with 3 other sections and assemblage zone 3 with Dill anticline are correlatable. Environmental parameters such as: salinity, light, nutrients, temperature and depth, have played a role concerning the distribution of foraminifera. Accordingly, the Asmari Formation deposited in a normal salinity to hyper salinity water, aphotic to euphotic and oligophy to eutrophy zones. Grain supported microfacies (O4, O5, B, L1, L2, L4, L5 and L7), support reservoir quality for the Asmari Formation in subsurface areas, next to the studies section. The carbonate grain association types of the study section are nanofer, rodalgal, foralgal and foramol. Manuscript profile -

The model results from Geodynamic Geodesy area networks and the tectonic stress as a constraint problem has been logged and various field formations on the elastic properties is considered. Fault surface is covered with contact elements that have authority to slip influence and change their shape and according to this properties in surface properties can well indicate the fault. Modeling results and geological criteria (Geodesy results) were compared and good coordination is observed between the results of the validation criteria. Results with a different coefficient of friction compared to the rate of displacement of GPS stations that coordination is more pronounced in the coefficient of friction 0.02. Displacement of southern edge of the fault in both friction 0.02 and 0.1 are obtained, respectively, 6.3 and 11 mm/year. The modeling results also showed that fault at different depths has different displacements and at depths less, move more expressive. Faults north and south edges of the integration Lali anticline that the most stress have focused on their , is Stress concentration and critical fault location of the fault. Manuscript profile -
