Chapter 1– Introduction 1

1 IntroductionHintThe Hints are just to give you some Information. Delete them before you hand over your thesis.

Hint

The Introduction is necessary to lead in to the subject of your thesis.

Hint

Explain the basic condition and general reasons for your research within the “problem definition”.

Contains the goals /aims of your thesis and hast to be defined together with your adviser.

Chapter 2 – Fundamentals 2

2 Fundamentals HintThe structure (content, how much theory, etc.) of your work has to be discussed individual with your advisor.

HintIn this chapter the structure of the template is described.

Text….

2.1 General InformationAll chapters of the first level (i.e. chapter 1; chapter 2; …) have to form a block, and therefore they have to begin with a new page. The top line has to contain on the right side the page number and on the left side the chapter number and chapter title (as seen in this template).

Every standard text has to be written in Arial 11 with a line pitch of 1.3 and in full justification (= Blocksatz).

How titles have to look like is shown in Chapter 3 called "Title".

The whole work has to be written black on white paper (background).

2.2 ReferencesReferences should be listed in alphabetical order by the author's last name. In the text, please cite references in the text by placing the author's name and year in parentheses, and if necessary page number! Information should be as complete as possible and in the following order: 1) author's last names and initials; 2) year of publication; 3) title of paper or article without surrounding quotation marks, or title of book in italics; 4) publication in which the article appears in italics; 5) name of publisher and city where publisher is located (for books only); and 6) volume number in bold face, issue number followed by a colon, and starting and ending page numbers. Examples:

Reference to an article in a journal. Gidley, J. L., Penny, G. S., and McDaniel, R. R. 1995. Effect of Proppant Failure and Fines Migration on Conductivity of Propped Fractures. SPE Prod & Fac 10 (01): 20–25. SPE-24008-PA. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/24008-PA.

Reference to a book. Craft, B. C. and Hawkins, M. 1991. Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, second edition. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall.

Chapter 2 – Fundamentals 3

Reference to a conference paper. Omre, H., Solna, K., Tjelmeland, H. et al. 1990. Calcite Cementation: Description and Production Consequences. Presented at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, New Orleans, 23–26 September. SPE-20607-MS. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/20607-MS.

If you cite word by word you have to make this parts visible by meshing them from both sides and using quotation marks. For example:

„The Codell is a highly bioturbated sandstone where clays and other components have occluded pores and permeability pathways within the formation. While the formation shows reasonably ...” (Economides, M., 1987, page 100)

Do not use this literally citation often, the thesis should be written in your own words.

If you cite from the World Wide Web refer the datum (in the reference list) when you have retrieved the website:

If you need footnotes, use superscripted numbers in ascending order within the text.

2.3 Tables, Figures and EquationsTables have to be superscripted above, figures below and equations on the right hand side like shown in the following examples (Craft, B. C. and Hawkins, M. 1991). For inscriptions of tables and figures use Arial 10. Tables and figures have to be shown up in an individual register at the beginning of the work as seen in this template above. Each figure, table, etc. has to be discussed in the text – no alone standing figure, table, etc.! Figures, tables, etc. need to be referenced at the bottom of the page they occur!

Tables, figures and equations must be centred. You also have to show up the origin of used data in tables, figures and equations.

Chapter 2 – Fundamentals 4

All figures should be cited in the body of the paper and should be numbered sequentially as described for tables above. The following guidelines are useful in preparing figures that convey your message clearly:

1. Make figures as simple as possible. Remember that most people reading your paper will be viewing a black and white printout (even if you used color).

2. Use horizontal orientation.3. Use only as many grid lines as necessary to illustrate your point.4. Although dual units (customary and SI metric units) are not required, you may want to

present dual scales of measure on keys and axes.5. Provide brief but descriptive captions for all figures.6. Use a minimum of ordinate and abscissa values so they do not run together.7. Ensure that all lines in the figure are of the same intensity and that all the figures

have matching intensities.8. Insert figures as pictures

Figure 2: Sucker rod pump 2

Equations have to be superscripted on the right hand side and referred as shown in the following example:

Chapter 2 – Fundamentals 5

The maximum bubble radius is calculated as shown in Eq.11

Rmax=43wa

(PA−Ph)(2ρPA

)12 [1+ 2(PA−Ph)3 Ph ]

13

(Eq. 1)

Where Rmax is the maximum bubble radius (m), wa is the applied circular frequency (rad/s), PA

represents the acoustic amplitude (Pa), ph the external pressure (Pa) and is the density (kg/m3).
