A storage and enhanced coalbed methane (CO2-ECBM) test will store up to 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide in a stacked coal reservoir in southwest Virginia. The test involves two phases of CO2 injection operations. Phase I was conducted from July 2, 2015 to April 15, 2016, and injected a total of 10, 601 tons of CO2. After a reservoir soaking period of seven months, Phase II is scheduled to begin Fall 2016. The design of the monitoring program for the test considered several site-specific factors, including a unique reservoir geometry, challenging surface terrain, simultaneous CBM production activities which complicate the ability to attribute signals to sources. A multi-scale approach to the monitoring design incorporated technologies deployed over different, overlapping spatial and temporal scales selected for the monitoring program include dedicated observation wells, CO2 injection operations monitoring, reservoir pressure and temperature monitoring, gas and formation water composition from offset wells tracer studies, borehole liquid level measurement, microseismic monitoring, surface deformation measurement, and various well logs and tests. Integrated interpretations of monitoring results from Phase I of the test have characterized enhanced permeability, geomechanical variation with depth, and dynamic reservoir injectivity. Results have also led to the development of recommended injection strategy for CO2-ECBM operations. The work presented here describes the development of the monitoring program, including design considerations and rationales for selected technologies, and presents monitoring results and interpretations from Phase I of the test. / Ph. D. / Recent efforts to manage and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions include the development of technologies for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) operations. CCUS technologies are used to capture CO₂ emissions from a power plant or other point source, transport the captured CO₂ to a field site, and inject the CO₂ underground into a geologic reservoir. There it is securely stored within a deep, sealed geologic formation and/or is utilized to enhance oil or gas recovery from the formation. CCUS operations conducted on a commercial scale could play an important role in combating anthropogenic climate change. Field tests for carbon storage and utilization operations support the objective of scaling up by demonstrating the storage potential of target reservoirs, the profit potential from enhanced recovery, and the safety of all field operations. Field tests are monitored intensively in order to understand reservoir behavior in response to CO₂ injection and to evaluate progress toward project objectives. An ongoing small-scale carbon storage and utilization test in southwest Virginia is testing the potential for CO₂ storage and enhanced gas recovery from a depleted coalbed methane reservoir. The carbon storage and enhanced coalbed methane (CO₂-ECBM) test will store up to 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide in a coal reservoir composed of approximately 20 individual seams. The test involves two phases of CO₂ injection operations. Phase I was conducted from July 2, 2015, to April 15, 2016, and injected a total of 10,601 tons of CO₂. After a reservoir soaking period of seven months, Phase II is scheduled to begin in Fall 2016. The design of the monitoring program for the test considered several site-specific factors, including a unique reservoir geometry, challenging surface terrain, and simultaneous coalbed methane production activities which complicate the ability to attribute signals to sources. A multi-scale approach to the monitoring design incorporated technologies deployed over different, overlapping spatial and temporal scales. The work presented here describes the development of the monitoring program, including design considerations and rationales for selected technologies, and presents monitoring results and interpretations from Phase I of the test.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Karla Silva Santos.pdf: 2310212 bytes, checksum: 028f77dcf01b72a280d3d1ce861f0779 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-28 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The study of soil hydraulic conductivity assumes high importance, being a parameter that measures the easiness which the soil‟s pores transmit water, being a relevant factor for the soil-water-plant system. Associated with this, another important parameter is the physical soil resistance to root penetration, which it has been the subject of extensive study due to its negative influence on soil physical quality cultures. Knowledge of spatial variation in attributes in soil and plant can contribute with the planning and optimization in conducting experiments, as well as the commercial cropsplanning aiming to precision agriculture. In this context, this research aimed to investigate the spatial variability of chemical and physical attributes in soils of an alluvial valley in a semiarid region in Pernambuco State. Hence, tests were conducted with Guelph permeameter for evaluation of the hydraulic conductivity in saturated soil. The evaluation of soil resistance to root penetration was determined with tests on undisturbed samples in laboratory using an electronic penetrometer. The physical and chemical soil characterization was carried out by laboratory tests on deformed and undisturbed samples. Amongst the analyzed attributes, the soil saturated hydraulic conductivity showed the largest coefficient of variation, of about 261.02%. The soil resistance to root penetration values were below the limiting value for preventing the development of plants and the variability of this parameter was classified as medium, with a coefficient of variation of 51.68%. All parameters analyzed were subjected to analysis of descriptive statistics and normality. Additionally, geostatistical analysis was performed, and was constructed semivariograms for theoretical attributes. The semivariogram for the hydraulic conductivity was adjusted to an exponential model; magnesium content to the spherical model, the pH and potential acidity to an exponential one, the sand and clay percentages to a Gaussian model. The soil resistance to root penetration, porosity, density soil, organic matter, potassium, base saturation, calcium, sodium and PST showed pure nugget effect. / O estudo da condutividade hidráulica do solo assume extrema importância, por ser um parâmetro que mede a facilidade com que os poros do solo transmitem água, fator de grande relevância para o sistema solo-água-planta. Associado a este, outro importante parâmetro físico é a resistência do solo à penetração das raízes, que tem sido amplo objeto de estudo devido a sua influência negativa da qualidade física do solo às culturas. O conhecimento da variação espacial de atributos de solo e de planta pode contribuir para o planejamento e otimização na condução de experimentos, bem como para o planejamento de lavouras comerciais, objetivando a agricultura de precisão. Neste contexto, esta pesquisa buscou investigar a variabilidade espacial de atributos químicos e físicos em solos de um vale aluvial em região semiárida no Estado de Pernambuco. Para isto, foram realizados ensaios com o permeâmetro de Guelph para avaliação da condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado. A avaliação da resistência do solo à penetração das raízes foi determinada com ensaios realizados em amostras não deformadas, no laboratório utilizando o penetrômetro eletrônico. A caracterização física e química do solo se deu por análises de laboratório com amostras deformadas e amostras não deformadas. Dentre os atributos do solo analisados, a condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado foi a que apresentou o maior coeficiente de variação da ordem de 261,02 %. A resistência do solo à penetração das raízes apresentou valores abaixo do considerado como impeditivo ao desenvolvimento das plantas sendo a variabilidade para este parâmetro classificada como média, com coeficiente de variação de 51,68 %. Todos os parâmetros analisados foram submetidos à análise de estatística descritiva e verificação da Normalidade. Adicionalmente, foi realizada análise geoestatística, e foram construídos semivariogramas teóricos para os atributos analisados. O semivariograma para a condutividade hidráulica foi ajustado ao modelo exponencial; o teor de magnésio ao modelo esférico; o pH e a acidez potencial ao modelo exponencial; as percentagens de areia e argila ao modelo gaussiano. A resistência do solo à penetração de raízes, porosidade total, densidade do solo, a matéria orgânica, o potássio, saturação por bases e o cálcio, sódio e PST apresentaram efeito pepita puro.

This thesis estimates the spatial extent of chlorinated solvent contamination of the soil at the Naval Air Station, Dallas, then estimates the fate and transport of these contaminants, over time, using the Soil Transport and Fate database and the Vadose-Zone Interactive Processes (VIP) modeling software. Geostatistical analysis identifies two areas with serious chlorinated solvent contamination. Fate and transport modeling estimates that this contamination will degrade and disperse from the soil phase to below regulatory limits within one year, although there is a risk of groundwater contamination. Contaminants are estimated to persist in the water and air phases of the soil. Further sampling is recommended to confirm the results of this study.

Dans le cadre de la gestion de la ressource en eau, la connaissance des hétérogénéités des nappes alluviales représente un enjeu primordial. Ce travail de thèse, qui s’inscrit dans le programme du PIREN-Seine, s’est intéressé à la plaine alluviale de la Bassée, à l’amont de Paris, la plus large plaine alluviale de la Seine.Cette plaine alluviale joue le rôle d’une zone tampon contrôlant les flux entre le réseau de surface et un aquifère régional. Connaître les hétérogénéités sédimentaires est primordial pour la compréhension des écoulements et fait l’objet de ce travail.L’architecture à l’échelle kilométrique des dépôts alluviaux et la chronologie des nappes associées est établie. La géométrie du contact nappe-substrat, une vallée incisée, est estimée par krigeage. Une restitution paléo-hydrologique s’appuie sur les paléo-tracés préservés en surface des nappes alluviales. L’architecture fine des dépôts est restituée à partir de données de sondages converties en propriétés pétrophysiques et d’imagerie géoradar.La plaine de la Bassée correspond à deux terrasses étagées (Saalien terminal et Weichsélien) dans lesquelles sont emboîtées deux autres terrasses (Tardiglaciaire et Holocène).L’estimation de la géométrie du contact alluvions-substrat suggère la présence d’une rupture de pente liée à une érosion régressive durant le Weichsélien. Les faciès des différentes nappes sont assez semblables et dominés par des dépôts de forte perméabilité (sables et graviers). De faibles valeurs de perméabilités sont associées aux faciès de colmatage de chenaux et dépôts en masse.Les résultats obtenus sur la plaine de la Bassée méritent d’être confrontés et validés sur des affluents de la Seine (Marne, Yonne, Oise…) afin de proposer un modèle cohérent à l’échelle du bassin. / In the scope of water resource management, the characterization of alluvial plain architecture and heterogeneity represents a challenge. This PhD work which is part of the PIREN-SEINE program focuses on largest alluvial plain of the River Seine, “La Bassée”, located upstream of Paris.This alluvial plain can be considered as a buffer layer that controls the water fluxes between the fluvial system and the regional aquifers. Determining the sedimentary heterogeneities is essential for the comprehension of fluxes, this is the aim of this work.Kilometric scale architecture of the alluvial deposits and the associated alluvial sheets chronology are established. The geometry of the sheet-bedrock contact, an incised valley, is estimated by kriging interpolation. A paleohydrological restitution is based on the paleochannels preserved at the top of the alluvial sheets. The fine scale architecture of deposits is restored from sampling data converted into petrophysics properties and ground-penetrating radar acquisitions.The alluvial plain of La Bassée corresponds to two terraces (terminal Saalian and Weichselian) in which two other terraces are staircased (Late Glacial and Holocene).The estimated sheet-bedrock contact geometry suggests the presence of a knick-point related to a regressive erosion during the Weichselian. Sedimentary facies are very similar from one alluvial sheet to another, and are dominated by high permeability deposits (sand and gravel). Low permeability facies are associated to channel plugs and mass transport deposits.The infilling model of La Bassée region obtained in this study should be compared and validated on the River Seine tributaries (Marne river, Yonne river, Oise river…) to propose a coherent model at the basin scale.

This dissertation analyzes the spatial distribution and kinematics of the Late Cenozoic Basin and Range (BR) and cross normal fault (CF) systems and their related graben basins around the Snake River Plain (SRP), and investigates the spatio-temporal patterns of lavas that were erupted by the migrating Yellowstone hotspot along the SRP, applying a diverse set of GIS-based spatial statistical techniques. The spatial distribution patterns of the normal fault systems, revealed by the Ripley's K-function, display clustered patterns that correlate with a high linear density, maximum azimuthal variation, and high box-counting fractal dimensions of the fault traces. The extension direction for normal faulting is determined along the major axis of the fractal dimension anisotropy ellipse measured by the modified Cantor dust method and the minor axis of the autocorrelation anisotropy ellipse measured by Ordinary Kriging, and across the linear directional mean (LDM) of the fault traces. Trajectories of the LDMs for the cross faults around each caldera define asymmetric sub-parabolic patterns similar to the reported parabolic distribution of the epicenters, and indicate sub-elliptical extension about each caldera that may mark the shape of hotspot’s thermal doming that formed each generation of cross faults. The decrease in the spatial density of the CFs as a function of distance from the axis of the track of the hotspot (SRP) also suggests the role of the hotspot for the formation of the cross faults. The parallelism of the trend of the exposures of the graben filling Sixmile Creek Formation with the LDM of their bounding cross faults indicates that the grabens were filled during or after the CF event. The global and local Moran’s I analyses of Neogene lava in each caldera along the SRP reveal a higher spatial autocorrelation and clustering of rhyolitic lava than the coeval basaltic lava in the same caldera. The alignment of the major axis of the standard deviational ellipses of lavas with the trend of the eastern SRP, and the successive spatial overlap of older lavas by progressively younger mafic lava, indicate the migration of the centers of eruption as the hotspot moved to the northeast.

Data were collected in native forest fragments in four areas distributed in three municipalities in the mountainous plateau of Santa Catarina: São Joaquim, Urupema and Panel. Were sampled 256 trees, which gathered up the dendrometric and morphometric variables, as well as its position in space. The morphometric analysis index indicated that the species is different degrees of competition. Covariance analysis showed no difference in the shape-size ratio in sample areas. The crown insertion height correlated positively and better fit with the overall height, and negatively correlated with the proportion of canopy. The negative correlation with pc% indicates that a higher percentage of canopy corresponding to minor hic. The relationship between the proportion of crown according to the canopy trees with length indicates that greater length cup mantle and have a higher proportion of canopy thus improved growth capacity. For the crown diameter according to the diameter at breast height it was a positive correlation, that is, with the increase in size increases with the diameter of the crown. Interdimensional relationships analyzed by covariance showed differences between growing trees in the forest and free growth. growing trees without competition have greater and greater pc% cc than trees growing in competition, as well as have higher DC than on growth in the forest. It was possible to determine the potential crown diameter, growth space, the number of trees per hectare and basal area per hectare, serving as a resource for future interventions of forest management. For the analysis of increment in diameter and the age, we used the trunk partial analysis. In São Joaquim 1 the average for the mean annual increment in diameter was 0, 45 cm.ano-1 in São Joaquim 2, was 0,69 cm.ano-1, Urupema, 0,82 cm.ano- 1 and Painel, 0,94 cm.ano-1. Covariance analysis showed no differences in the average annual increase in the study sites. The incremental adjustment in the diameter at breast height and age showed that the trees showed a gradual decrease in the increase with increase in diameter and advancing age. Pearson correlation analysis for the annual periodic increment in basal area with morphometric variables and dendrometric showed that the variables with the highest correlation were proportion of cup and diameter, with a positive correlation value of 0,40 and 0,30. The generalized linear model Gamma - identity presented the best statistical criteria in setting annual periodic increment in basal area by diameter, percentage of canopy and height. The use of cup dimensions variables can be inserted in the modeling of the annual periodic increment in basal area of Araucaria angustifolia. In geostatistical analysis initially evaluated the data from classical statistics, then proceeded to the adjustment of the semivariogram. Later, we used the ordinary kriging for the interpolation of data. The standard deviation values show that there is greater variability in the panel data. There is a positive skew for all data, making it necessary to be transformed in some cases. The exponential model demonstrated better adjustment to the areas of São Joaquin and Painel already in Urupema the best model resulted in the spherical model. With the data interpolation maps was possible to visualize the spatial distribution of mean annual increment in diameter covered the four sites, identifying the areas with the highest and lowest diameter increment. The results generated in this study can understand the structure and growth of distribution Araucaria in each study site, to facilitate the management of the landscape and the species in southern Brazil. Current legislation restricts the sustainable use of the species, its natural regeneration and the increase in the rates, so reforms are needed in the legislation to ensure the perpetuity of the type Araucaria Forest / O objetivo do presente trabalho foi utilizar a geoestatística e a dendrocronologia em conjunto com as variáveis morfométricas e dendrométricas para, com base no incremento diamétrico, avaliar o crescimento no tempo de Araucaria angustifolia no sul do Brasil, ajustar modelos de crescimento e gerar mapas da distribuição do incremento para manejo da paisagem visando intervenções sustentadas em seu ecossistema. Os dados foram coletados em fragmentos de floresta nativa, em quatro áreas distribuídas em três municípios do planalto serrano de Santa Catarina: São Joaquim, Urupema e Painel. Foram amostradas 256 árvores, das quais coletou-se as variáveis dendrométricas e morfométricas, como também seu posicionamento no espaço. A análise dos índices morfométricos indicou que a espécie encontra-se em diferentes graus de competição. A análise de covariância demonstrou que há diferença na relação forma-dimensão nas áreas de amostragem. A altura de inserção de copa apresentou correlação positiva e melhor ajuste com a altura total, e correlação negativa com a proporção de copa. A correlação negativa com pc% indica que um maior percentual de copa corresponde a menor hic. A relação entre a proporção de copa em função do comprimento de copa indica que árvores com maior comprimento de copa apresentam maior manto e proporção de copa, consequentemente, melhor capacidade de crescimento. Para o diâmetro de copa em função do diâmetro à altura do peito a correlação foi positiva, ou seja, com o aumento em dimensão aumenta proporcionalmente o diâmetro de copa. As relações interdimensionais, analisadas pela covariância, demonstraram diferenças entre árvores de crescimento na floresta e de crescimento livre. Árvores crescendo sem competição apresentam maior pc% e maior cc do que árvores crescendo em competição, assim como, apresentam maior dc do que sob crescimento no interior da floresta. Foi possível determinar o diâmetro de copa potencial, o espaço de crescimento, o número de árvores por hectare e área basal por hectare, servindo como subsídio para futuras intervenções de manejo florestal. Para a análise do incremento em diâmetro e da idade, utilizou-se da análise parcial de tronco. Em São Joaquim 1 a média para o incremento médio anual em diâmetro foi de 0,45 cm.ano-1, em São Joaquim 2, foi de 0,69 cm.ano-1, em Urupema, 0,82 cm.ano-1 e em Painel, 0,94 cm.ano-1. A análise de covariância mostrou existir diferenças no incremento médio anual nos sítios de estudo. O ajuste do incremento em função do diâmetro à altura do peito e da idade mostrou que as árvores apresentaram diminuição gradativa do incremento com aumento do diâmetro e avanço da idade. A análise de correlação de Pearson para o incremento periódico anual em área basal com as variáveis morfométricas e dendrométricas, demonstrou que as variáveis com maior correlação foram proporção de copa e diâmetro, com correlação positiva de valor 0,40 e 0,30. O modelo linear generalizado Gamma - identidade apresentou os melhores critérios estatísticos no ajuste do incremento periódico anual em área basal em função do diâmetro, percentual de copa e altura. O uso de variáveis de dimensões da copa, podem ser inseridas na modelagem do incremento periódico anual em área basal de Araucaria angustifolia. Na análise geoestatística inicialmente avaliou-se os dados a partir da estatística clássica, em seguida procedeu-se o ajuste dos semivariogramas. Posteriormente, utilizou-se da Krigagem ordinária para a interpolação dos dados. Os valores do desvio padrão mostram que há maior variabilidade nos dados de Painel. Existe uma assimetria positiva para todos os dados, tornando necessária a transformação dos mesmos em alguns casos. O modelo exponencial demostrou melhor ajuste para as áreas de São Joaquim e Painel, já em Urupema o melhor modelo resultou no modelo esférico. Com os mapas de interpolação dos dados foi possível visualizar a distribuição espacial do incremento médio anual em diâmetro nos quatro sítios abordados, identificando as áreas com maior e menor incremento em diâmetro. Os resultados gerados neste trabalho possibilitam perceber a estrutura e a distribuição de crescimento da araucária em cada sítio de estudo, contribuindo para o manejo da paisagem e da espécie no sul do Brasil. A legislação atual restringe o uso sustentável da espécie, sua regeneração natural e o aumento nas taxas de incremento, assim, são necessárias reformas na legislação vigente para garantir a perpetuidade da tipologia Floresta com Araucária

The municipality of Pelotas, located in the south part of RS state, is responsible for 90% of peach production having adequate conditions of climate and soil for its production. One of the main problems faced by fruit farmers is the management of the peach orchard, which has been homogeneously managed, without considering the spatial and temporal variability of soil, plant and climate attributes in the peach orchard. Therefore, some aspects deserve attention from researchers, among them we can highlight the knowledge of the physical environment in which the peach tree grows. This work had as objectives: i. to evaluate the relationship between soil hydric-physical and crop attributes through the canonical correlation analysis, ii. to determine the spatial and temporal structures of soil hydric-physical, crop and climate attributes, applying geostatistics analysis. The work was conducted in an experimental area, located in the city of Morro Redondo-RS, cultivated with 18 line peach crops, cv. Esmeralda, totaling 1,450 plants. In this area was established a experimental grid consisted of 101 experimental peach trees. At a distance of 0.50m to the right side of each crop tree, trenches were opened to collect disturbed and undisturbed soil samples to determine the following soil hydric-physical attributes, in the 0.00-0.10m and 0.10-0.20m soil layers: sand, silt and clay contents, soil bulk density, soil total porosity, soil macro- and micro-porosities, and volumetric soil water content. We also evaluated the following peach crop attributes in the years of 2010 and 2011: trunk diameter, size of the fruit/plant, total number of fruits/plant, fresh mass of fruits, fruit firmness, brix content and crop productivity. The attributes of climate air temperature and relative humidity were also evaluated in the peach orchard. All data sets were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. The correlation between soil and crop attributes was evaluated by canonical correlation analysis. The spatial and temporal variability structures of all data sets were evaluated by geostatistics as well as the relationship between them. Results show that the canonical correlation analysis identified the highest correlation coefficients of soil micro-porosity and clay content variables and peach productivity, and that the geostatistical analysis allowed establishing homogeneous management zones of soil, crop and climate attributes as well as to infer, visually, spatial inter-relationships between variables. The association of soil, crop and climate maps indicates that future differentiated managements of agricultural practices on the peach orchard should be based on the spatial distribution of these variables aiming rational water and fertilizer applications to preserve natural resources in the agricultural farmers. / A fruticultura é um importante componente do agronegócio brasileiro assumindo destaque na economia do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS). O município de Pelotas, localizado no sul do RS, é responsável por 90% da produção de pêssego, possuindo condições adequadas de clima e solo para a sua produção. Um dos principais problemas enfrentados pelos produtores de frutas é o manejo do pomar, que tem sido realizado de forma homogênea, sem considerar a variabilidade espacial e temporal dos atributos do solo, da planta e do clima dentro do pomar. Desta forma, alguns aspectos merecem atenção dos pesquisadores, dentre os quais, pode-se destacar o conhecimento do ambiente físico no qual o pessegueiro se desenvolve. Este trabalho teve como objetivos avaliar a relação entre os atributos físico-hídricos do solo e da planta por meio da análise de correlação canônica, determinar a estrutura de correlação espacial e temporal dos atributos físico-hídricos do solo, da planta de pessegueiro e do clima, por meio da técnica de geoestatística. O trabalho foi conduzido em uma área experimental, localizada no município do Morro Redondo-RS, cultivada com a cultivar de pêssego Esmeralda com 18 linhas, totalizando 1.450 plantas, onde foi estabelecida uma malha experimental composta por 101 plantas. A 0,50m do lado direito da cada planta, foram abertas trincheiras para a coleta de amostras deformas e indeformadas de solo para determinação dos atributos físico-hídricos, nas profundidades de 0,00-0,10m e de 0,10-0,20m: teores de areia, silte e argila, densidade do solo, porosidade total, macro e microporosidade do solo e umidade volumétrica. Também foram avaliados os seguintes atributos da planta nos anos de 2010 e 2011: diâmetro do tronco, tamanho do fruto/planta, número total de frutos/planta, massa fresca dos frutos, firmeza de polpa, teor de brix e produtividade. Os atributos do clima temperatura do ar e umidade relativa do ar também foram avaliados dentro do pomar. Todos os conjuntos de dados foram submetidos a análise exploratória por meio da estatística descritiva. A análise de correlação canônica foi aplicada para analisar as inter-relações entre as variáveis do solo e da planta, enquanto que, a geoestatística foi aplicada para avaliar a estrutura de correlação espacial e temporal de todos os dados bem como relação entre eles. Resultados mostram que a análise de correlação canônica permitiu identificar as variáveis do solo argila e microporosidade como as mais fortemente correlacionadas com a produtividade do pessegueiro e que a análise geoestatística permitiu delimitar as zonas homogêneas dos atributos do solo, da planta e do clima bem como inferir visualmente sobre as inter-relações espaciais entre as variáveis. A associação dos mapas das variáveis do solo, da planta e do clima indica que os futuros manejos diferenciados de práticas agrícolas deverão se basear na distribuição espacial das variáveis no pomar de pessegueiro visto que isto possibilitará a racionalização da aplicação de insumos e de água e a preservação dos recursos naturais na propriedade.
