The water is calm, with a long wave swell. A small yacht is anchored with no one on deck. Fifty feet below the surface, a scuba diver moves in slow motion above a seabed covered with sponges and Elkhorn corals. The water is so clear that the sun‘s rays pierce the surface and undulate with the waves, forming curtains of light that penetrate deep into the blue sea. The sunlight scintillates as a school of fish school swims through and it draws patterns on the scuba diver who floats weightlessly in mid-waters. The diver drifts back and forth, carried by the smooth tidal currents, totally detached from the world. The underwater visibility is fantastic, sixty feet all around. The vivid colors, the abundant reefs and corals reveal an amazingly rich marine life, where barracudas, French Angel fish and schools of Blue Tangs swim around, undisturbed by the diver. Everything seems so peaceful, unearthly, out of time. Even the eight-foot black tip shark passing by doesn‘t seem threatening. Above the scuba diver, at the end of a long trail of bubbles, the boat is rocking gently on its anchor chain, hanging under, going all the way down to the bottom. The diver swims toward the anchor chain and grabs it, then gently pulls himself down. Once he reaches the anchor, he kneels on the seabed and just enjoys the stunning view. Floyd Allister is alone and at peace. His buddies have already emptied their compressed air tanks and returned to the boat. With more than two thousand dives, Floyd does not need a buddy. Every time he scuba dives, he feels he is has to be the 1 Hervé Jaubert buddy for everyone else, the backup diver. At least when he‘s by himself he doesn‘t have to worry and watch the other divers in case something happens or if one gets lost. Although the underwater world is often hostile, it‘s unbelievably beautiful, and Floyd enjoys the serenity. When he first started diving, he never dove alone, but now, thanks to modern technology and his vast experience, Floyd knows he can handle just about anything that comes along. After all, he carries his own buddy: redundant air sources with a small air bottle and a spare regulator just in case the main one fails, and an inflatable jacket to bring him back to the surface and keep him afloat in case of emergency. Floyd is a senior FBI special agent, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This diving expedition is his long-deferred vacation. Although he was raised on the water and lives on an island, nothing suits his contemplative nature more than to meditate underwater. For him, the best vacation isn‘t to get away, but to get below the surface. As a kid, Floyd promised himself he‘d never get old without having circled the world on a boat. Now at 43 with his insane hours and a demanding Puerto Rican girlfriend, the mother of his son, Floyd feels lucky to circle the island. To get a week to go diving is totally off the charts. Floyd lured three old friends from his hometown of Boston in Massachusetts to join him on the 48-foot Hatteras he chartered. The boat is moored in Vieques, a mostly undeveloped small island, next to Puerto Rico. With only a couple of docks and one fuel station, it‘s the perfect get away for boaters and fishermen. The yacht is big enough so the four buddies can all sleep onboard. Floyd decided to take his friends to Vieques, only 50 miles away from San Juan, because the small island is located on 2 The Boston Fracture the Caribbean Sea side of Puerto Rico and away from the rough surf of the Atlantic Ocean. It boasts awesome diving locations and the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. Diving at night among the glowing microscopic algae‘s was a little scary but what a unique and unforgettable experience! They all left their wives and girlfriends in San Juan where they enjoy shopping and the resort lifestyle, while they dive all day and every day. Floyd‘s friends are Bob ―Chubs‖ Winston, a dentist by day and a participant in poetry slams by night; John Colette, an award- winning real estate agent who lost pretty much everything, including his wife and two daughters, as a result of the housing bust; and George Monaco, president of a small bank and bartender extraordinaire, a skill he perfected when they were all working their way through college. ~~~ Floyd swims back to the surface and grabs the boat‘s ladder. He pushes his mask up on his head, tosses his flippers to John, and climbs on the boat. ―Hey!...we thought maybe you drowned,‖ Chubs says. He looks like your typical tourist. In fact all the 3 friends do: flip flops, shorts and dizzying Hawaiian shirts. The spots they missed with the tanning lotion are bright, painful red. ―So…I‘m missing and nobody bothers to look for me?‖ Floyd asks, catching his breath. ―Nothing personal man‖ John says ―YOU are the dive master‖. ―Mind give me a hand with my tank?‖ John helps Floyd unstrap his 40 pounds of scuba equipment. ―And give me my cap.‖ ―Oh, that cap you wear—― ―Yes, my Yankees cap.‖ ―Word gets out I helped a Yankees fan, I‘ll never get 3 Hervé Jaubert another referral.‖ ―We can‘t decide if your wear it to piss us off,‖ Chubs says, ―or if you‘re some kind of genetic mutant.‖ Floyd smiles. He‘ll never tell. George pops open a beer, hands it to Floyd. ―Drink this while you shower. I‘ll have the chips open when you get back.‖ ~~~ Back at the dock, the guys tie off the boat and double check the spring lines. They drop their scuba tanks at the dive shop, walk downtown and follow the music. The evening is a whirl of intoxicating Latin night life: dancing hot salsa with beautiful, dark-haired girls in miniskirts and high-heel sandals, sipping a bit of rum, more rum and a lot of mojitos. As they reminisce, the glory days back at school grow more glorious with every drink. For Bob, John and Georges it is their first vacation on the island, they realize that although Puerto Rico is part of the US, it is definitely not "America," rather a mix of Caribbean atmosphere and Spanish culture, which they want to enjoy to the fullest. Finally, Floyd, always the pain-in-the-butt organizer, says, ―We really need to get back to the boat. I want an early start tomorrow.‖ ―No way.‖ ―Damn!‖ ―Boo. Bad plan.‖ But no matter how loud the Boston boys protest, Floyd herds them along. ―There‘ll be more fish to feed at the reef, caves, and some great photo ops with the overhangs. You‘ll have tons of pictures to impress the women back home.‖ The air tanks are waiting as promised behind the dive shop. A quick stop at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant produces a giant bag filled with chuletas, the local favorite: pork, rice and 4 The Boston Fracture beans. Chubs digs right in. ―You know,‖ John says, ―if any of us knew how to cook we could catch fish, cook our own lunch.‖ There are no volunteers. Floyd sighs, shakes his head. Nothing has changed since the old days. ―Slow down, Chubs,‖ says George as he looks at his friend‘s bulging cheeks. ―Make sure you leave enough for tomorrow.‖ October 23 The next morning Floyd and his friends drag themselves up on deck. No one seems to have much to say. It‘s been a great vacation, but the guys feel that sadness you get when a good thing approaches its end. ―I can‘t believe we‘ve only got two days left,‖ Floyd says. ―We can stay here and get knee-walking drunk—― says Chubs. ―Works for me!‖ George exclaims before finishing off his Bloody Mary.

  • Faults and Joints

    Faults and Joints

    133 JOINTS Joints (also termed extensional fractures) are planes of separation on which no or undetectable shear displacement has taken place. The two walls of the resulting tiny opening typically remain in tight (matching) contact. Joints may result from regional tectonics (i.e. the compressive stresses in front of a mountain belt), folding (due to curvature of bedding), faulting, or internal stress release during uplift or cooling. They often form under high fluid pressure (i.e. low effective stress), perpendicular to the smallest principal stress. The aperture of a joint is the space between its two walls measured perpendicularly to the mean plane. Apertures can be open (resulting in permeability enhancement) or occluded by mineral cement (resulting in permeability reduction). A joint with a large aperture (> few mm) is a fissure. The mechanical layer thickness of the deforming rock controls joint growth. If present in sufficient number, open joints may provide adequate porosity and permeability such that an otherwise impermeable rock may become a productive fractured reservoir. In quarrying, the largest block size depends on joint frequency; abundant fractures are desirable for quarrying crushed rock and gravel. Joint sets and systems Joints are ubiquitous features of rock exposures and often form families of straight to curviplanar fractures typically perpendicular to the layer boundaries in sedimentary rocks. A set is a group of joints with similar orientation and morphology. Several sets usually occur at the same place with no apparent interaction, giving exposures a blocky or fragmented appearance. Two or more sets of joints present together in an exposure compose a joint system.

Paulding, Jr. Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics February 9, 1965 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Photoelastic analysis of several two-crack arrays pre- dicts that compressive fracture is initiated at cracks oriented in a particular en schelon manner. Observation of partially-fractured samples of Westerly granite, obtained during uniaxial and confined compression tests by stopping the fracture process, indicate that fracture is initiated by en echelon arrays of biotite grains and pre-existing, trans-granular, cracks.

ABSTRACT-Composites materials are finding wide spread use in naval applications in recent times. Ships and under water vehicles like torpedoes Submarines etc. Torpedoes which are designed for moderate and deeper depths require minimization of structural weight for increasing payload, performance/speed and operating range for that purpose Aluminium alloy casting is used for the fabrication of propeller blades. In current years the increased need for the light weight structural element with acoustic insulation, has led to use of fiber reinforced multi-layer composite propeller. The present work carries out the structural analysis of a CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) , (Graphite fiber reinforced plastic ), Nibral propeller blade which proposed to replace the Aluminium 6061 propeller blade. Propeller is subjected to an external hydrostatic pressure on either side of the blades depending on the operating depth and flow around the propeller also result in differential hydrodynamic pressure between face and back surfaces of blades. The propeller blade is modelled and designed such that it can with stand the static load distribution and finding the stresses and deformation, strain, for different materials aluminium, Nibral and Graphite fiber reinforced plastic ,carbon fiber reinforced plastic materials.

    AMPLITUDE INVERSION OF FAST AND SLOW CONVERTED WAVES FOR FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MONTNEY FORMATION IN POUCE COUPE FIELD, ALBERTA, CANADA by Tyler L. MacFarlane c Copyright by Tyler L. MacFarlane, 2014 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geo- physics). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Tyler L. MacFarlane Signed: Dr. Thomas L. Davis Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. Terence K. Young Professor and Head Department of Geophysics ii ABSTRACT The Montney Formation of western Canada is one of the largest economically viable gas resource plays in North America with reserves of 449TCF. As an unconventional tight gas play, the well development costs are high due to the hydraulic stimulations necessary for economic success. The Pouce Coupe research project is a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) and Talisman Energy Inc. with the objective of understanding the reservoir to enable the optimization of well placement and completion design. The work in this thesis focuses on identifying the natural fractures in the reservoir that act as the delivery systems for hydrocarbon flow to the wellbore. Characterization of the Montney Formation at Pouce Coupe is based on time-lapse mul- ticomponent seismic surveys that were acquired before and after the hydraulic stimulation of two horizontal wells. Since shear-wave velocities and amplitudes of the PS-waves are known to be sensitive to near-vertical fractures, I utilize isotropic simultaneous seismic in- versions on azimuthally-sectored PS1 and PS2 data sets to obtain measurements of the fast and slow shear-velocities.
