This paper provides an overview on the physical and functional performance of the New Zealand telecommunication network following the 14 November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake (Mw 7.8). Firstly, the paper provides an overview of the New Zealand telecommunications infrastructure. Secondly, the paper presents preliminary information on the impacts of the Kaikōura earthquake on the telecommunication network following the format proposed by [1] for post-earthquake assessment and resilience analysis of infrastructure systems, namely: extent of earthquake-induced physical impacts on the components of the telecommunication networks, identified according to a proposed taxonomy; main observed dependency issues; identification of resilience attributes and strategies that allowed an effective and rapid reinstatement of the telecommunication service. Finally lessons learned and research needs are discussed.
Sequence stratigraphic concepts have long been used to integrate core and well log data with 3D seismic data to establish predictive reservoir models. This paper documents a new technique to systematically evaluate large scale log patterns in order to identify key chronostratigraphic surfaces with confidence. Linked closely to 3D seismic structural and stratigraphic interpretations, this technique has been applied in several reservoir modelling studies in the Niger Delta. Special emphasis has been given to the influence of growth faults on reservoir development. The resulting tectonosedimentary framework has led to semi-quantitative predictions about sediment geometry and distribution which were subsequently utilized to constrain 3D models of the reservoirs. Such 3D models improve the quality and success of appraisal drilling as well as field development planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
