Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Earth Resource Management offers a detailed look at the different ways data analytics and artificial intelligence can help organizations make better-informed decisions, improve operations, and minimize the negative impacts of resource extraction on the environment. The book explains several different ways data analytics and artificial intelligence can improve and support earth resource management. Predictive modeling can help organizations understand the impacts of different management decisions on earth resources, such as water availability, land use, and biodiversity.Resource monitoring tracks the state of earth resources in real-time, identifying issues and opportunities for improvement. Providing managers with real-time data and analytics allows them to make more informed choices. Optimizing resource management decisions help to identify the most efficient and effective ways to allocate resources. Predictive maintenance allows organizations to anticipate when equipment might fail and take action to prevent it, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Remote sensing with image processing and analysis can be used to extract information from satellite images and other remote sensing data, providing valuable information on land use, water resources, and other earth resources.

Multiprobe Pressure Testing and Reservoir Characterization: Pressure Transient, Contamination, Liquid and Gas Pumping Analysis provides much-needed three-dimensional pressure transient simulators for job planning and data interpretation in well logging. Discussions cover fundamental concepts, present fluid sampling, pressure transient and contamination analysis; physical concepts and numerical approaches; and multiprobe model formulations and validations. Other sections cover four-probe algorithms, including conventional, overbalanced, and underbalanced drilling applications. The final section addresses triple-probe algorithms, which includes coupled models for pressure and contamination convergence acceleration.Notably, a further chapter explains how the multiprobe tool’s focus on characterizing permeability will promote better use of the reservoir as well as assist with energy storage in underground rock, demonstrating how multiprobe tools also facilitate the energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable geothermal energy.

Geotechnical Interpretations in Field Practice: An Introduction provides the latest on field test results and theoretical knowledge, interpretation and engineering judgement and how this data is essential for proper planning and execution of ground investigations. Maximum subsurface information can be extracted with lesser budget if proper interpretation is made. In other words, no amount of site investigation is adequate without proper interpretation and application of engineering judgement. With this in consideration in mind, this book presents a special focus on the importance of interpretation and engineering judgment in geotechnical projects.
