Judul: Formulasi Surfaktan SMES sebagai Acid Stimulation Agent untuk Aplikasi di Lapangan Karbonat OK
Abstrak: Methyl Sulfonic Esters (MES) is one type of anionic surfactants which have advantages in terms of its hardness, resistance to deterjensi, the character of renewable and environmentally friendly. Excess MES this can be utilized as stimulation agent in oil wells, so can increase productivity an oil well. Increased productivity an oil well done by means of cleaning oil wells and pore a reservoir fromsediment of scale formed, enlarging the pores of rocks and can changing the nature of rocks being water-wet. This research was carried out to obtain the formula of solution of surfactants-based MES that can be applied as acid stimulation agent that is one method of IOR. Formula tested is a combination of surfactants sodium MES, HCl, and CH3COOH. The formulation is done by determining the optimum concentration of surfactant SMES and HCl gradually. The best results obtained from the solution of acid stimulation agent was with value of IFT < 10-2 dyne/cm with solubility of rock reaches 36%, and was can to change the contact angle of the reservoir rocks of the contact angle number 420 became 680 in formula SMES 6% + HCl 7% and CH3COOH 2%.

Judul: Formulasi Surfaktan MES Sebagai Acid Stimulation Agent untuk Lapangan Karbonat (Studi Kasus: Lapangan T)
Abstrak: The decrease of oil well productivity can be affected by the scale blockage and the conditions inside of the oil well. This problem can be solved by stimulating the oil well with an acid stimulation agent. This chemical solution contains of surfactant, brine, and acid. The surfactant reduces the interfacial and surface tension, the brine dissolves the surfactant, and the acid has a function as carbonate scale solvent. This research was conducted to find the formula of acid stimulation agent that gives the best performance to improve the oil well productivity. The materials used in this research were the oil well fluids that consist of formation water and crude oil from T oil field. The surfactants (MES and SMES) concentration used in this research was 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%; 3%, 4%, 5%, and 6% (w/w). HCl concentration added to surfactant solution were 5%, 10%, and 15% (w/w). At the last, 2% CH3COOH was added to this formula. The formula that gave the best performance was SMES 4% + HCl 5% + CH3COOH 2% with IFT value 6.74x10-2 dyne/cm and the solubility degree 20.7%. This formula has good resistance to high temperature of 90oC and has good capability of changing the core wettability to become more water-wet.

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
