Virilizing adrenocortical carcinoma: role of computed tomography.
A 31-year-old woman who presented with virilization was found to have elevated plasma testosterone and increased urinary 17-KS levels. The apparent source of androgens was detected and defined by CT scanning as a right-sided adrenal mass lesion, which was successfully resected and which proved to be an adrenocortical carcinoma.
Summary In the pilot study, a new geomodeling technology is presented for developing 3D heterogonous geomodels for Athabasca McMurray (MCMR) oil sands. The geomodels were used to simulate SAGD thermal recovery. Both conventional SAGD completions and SAGD with ICD completions were tested. The simulation results show that for a heterogeneous Athabasca McMurray oil sand reservoir, the ICD completion technology enhances oil production and reduces steam consumption. As a result, the economics of SAGD recovery from the heterogeneous sands is improved.
