Drilling and Production Optimization of Super and Ultra Heavy Oil in Block CH, Liaohe Oilfield
Authors: Jin Fu , Shunyuan Zhang , Bingshan Liu , Weiwei Yin , Chen Chen
Published: May 2017

It is estimated that tight oil takes up 46% of the total reserve volume, including conventional tight oil, super-tight oil and ultra-tight oil whose viscosity is 5.8×104mPa·s (degassed crude oil at 50°C). Some tight oil resources are 600-900m deep, while others are found in deep formations (1300-1700m). In order to deal with sand production and low recovery rate integrated researches on super-tight and ultra-tight oil buried in deep formations have been accomplished.

A group of 7 wells were selected and the overall steam stimulation was simulated by software. All modified chemicals such as the high temperature frothers, high temperature gel particle plugging agents and special resins were tested in labs in order to prove their performance, while downhole tools had been applied in adjacent wells. At last the average sweep efficiency and oil production rate of wells in the group were compared with that of adjacent wells.

Casing programs, horizontal sidetracking technologies and slim hole cementation technologies shall be optimized to extend the well's life. The multi-well steam stimulation technology which depends on injecting steam into a group of wells and creating a uniform temperature field is useful, as steam channeling caused by longitudinal heterogeneity in the tight oil reservoir and repetitive steam injection may be overcome. Mechanical interval selection technology and vacuum heat insulation pipe are recommended to obtain steam of appropriate volumes. Various high temperature frothers and gel particle plugging agents shall be applied to adjust the steam injection and production profile, improving the sweep efficiency. Liquefied carbon dioxide and other cleanup additives may be injected before steam as more water comes out and remaining oil keeps farther away from the borehole after repetitive steam huff and puff. Fracturing and sand exclusion may be achieved at the same time by squeezing special resins into formation while fracturing. Sand may be controlled by artificial boreholes, optimized liners and flushing foams. Series of drilling and production technologies have been optimized, therefore the average sweep efficiency and recovery rate of single wells in the group were improved by 12.52% and 13.23% respectively.

Conventional steam stimulation used to be adopted by scale in Block CH, while the daily production rate began dramatically decreasing after 4 to 5 rounds of steam injection. The integration of multi-well steam stimulation technology, mechanical interval selection technology, vacuum heat insulation pipe running technique and optimization of chemicals and gases improves heat utilization and sweep efficiency. While the optimized drilling and completion technology improved the quality of horizontal wells.

Authors: Machado Emiliano William , Henriques Telhada José Manuel
Published: May 2017

Os atendimentos básicos de saúde prestados pelo serviço de saúde domiciliar é uma forma que os governos encontraram de ampliarem suas redes de atendimento sem a necessidade de investirem na ampliação ou construção de novos hospitais. Em países desenvolvidos como Canadá, EUA e Dinamarca, altos investimentos foram feitos no setor. Esses tipos de serviços necessitam de planejamento em termos de zoneamento, escalonamento, rotas e gestão de estoques. Por exemplo, na Colômbia, metade das empresas prestadoras de serviço domiciliar possuem problemas com zoneamento. O presente estudo tem como objetivo simular e testar as estratégias de zoneamento das operações dos serviços de saúde domiciliar de uma grande cidade, localizada na região norte do Brasil, utilizando o software Arena Rockwell. Os resultados apontaram diferenças significativas entre diferentes zonas do território, relacionados ao número de atendimentos e tempo de deslocamento entre os pacientes. Com a simulação desse modelo foi possível identificar alguns fatores que se caracterizam como problemas de zoneamento, os quais poderão ser resolvidos com a realocação de algumas unidades básicas das zonas problemáticas, com o auxílio de um modelo de otimização.

Income distribution, quality differentiation and product line design
Authors: Liu Chia-Ming
Published: May 2017

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the relationship between quality differentiation, income distribution and product line design. According to the findings, the author can explain the trend of quality differentiation and the phenomenon of extreme product diversity in different conditions of income distribution. When the middle class of consumers reach a certain critical few number, the quality for them will descend. Only the high-end and low-end quality left for this extreme condition; that is, the product quality spectrum will shrink. The product quality for middle and low class will gradually get worse and worse, even lower than original quality. The product line design will be reconsidered to the opposite extremes.

Authors: Mitskaya Elena Vladimirovna , Talyshev Marufzhan Zakirzhanovich
Published: May 2017

The subject of the study is the institution of criminal procedural liability. Sanctions of criminal procedural liability, namely a monetary redress, received the first legislative consolidation in the new Criminal Procedure Code of Kazakhstan. Who the pecuniary punishment is applied to is fixed in the article 159 of Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The size and procedural order of its application is regulated by the article 160 of Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors analyze the introduction of the judicial mechanism of pecuniary punishment and the existence of the Code of Administrative Offenses on the monetary redress expressed in the form of an administrative fine and conclude that it is difficult to differentiate the sanctions of criminal procedural responsibility in the form of a monetary redress and an administrative fine for the commission of criminal procedural violations. The authors present their own arguments to address the duality of application of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Code of Administrative Offenses to bring to criminal procedure responsibility and administrative responsibility for the same criminal procedural violations.

Multivariate interpolation
Authors: Pakhnutov Igor Aleksandrovich
Published: May 2017

The paper deals with iterative interpolation methods in forms of similar recursive procedures defined by a sort of simple functions (interpolation basis) not necessarily real valued. These basic functions are kind of arbitrary type being defined just by wish and considerations of user. The studied interpolant construction shows virtue of versatility: it may be used in a wide range of vector spaces endowed with scalar product, no dimension restrictions, both in Euclidean and Hilbert spaces. The choice of basic interpolation functions is as wide as possible since it is subdued nonessential restrictions. The interpolation method considered in particular coincides with traditional polynomial interpolation (mimic of Lagrange method in real unidimensional case) or rational, exponential etc. in other cases. The interpolation as iterative process, in fact, is fairly flexible and allows one procedure to change the type of interpolation, depending on the node number in a given set. Linear interpolation basis options (perhaps some nonlinear ones) allow to interpolate in noncommutative spaces, such as spaces of nondegenerate matrices, interpolated data can also be relevant elements of vector spaces over arbitrary numeric field. By way of illustration, the author gives the examples of interpolation on the real plane, in the separable Hilbert space and the space of square matrices with vektorvalued source data.

The concept and tasks of the basic method of investigation of crimes related to illegal trafficking narcotic drugs
Authors: Chistova Lyubov Evgenyevna
Published: May 2017

The article substantiates the need to develop a basic methodology for investigating crimes related to illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs due to the fact that these crimes are inextricably linked, interdependent and can not be carried out separately from each other in principle. The existing separate private methods develop recommendations for the investigation of specific types of crimes, for example, only smuggling of these funds or their sale and they are not connected with each other. In this regard, it is not possible to trace the whole cycle of criminal activity from the introduction of controlled means to illicit trafficking prior to their sale. Therefore, the basic methodology for investigating such crimes will allow us to trace the whole chain of criminal acts and to reveal all the circumstances that affect the full and objective investigation of such crimes.

Published: May 2017

The DNA binding protein and chromatin structural regulator DEK regulate many cellular
processes. These include proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repairing and the
maintenance of stem cell phenotype. DEK is increasingly recognized as a crucial player in many
steps of cancer initiation and progression, and is precisely regulated by abundant promoting and inhibiting
factors directly or indirectly. DEK may serve as an architectural modulating protein to regulate
the expression and function of multiple human genes in cancer cells. In this article we have reviewed
the specificities and complexities of DEK in the regulation of transcription factors and global
chromatin, including its biologic roles in malignant cells, and summarized the current research. The
possible use of DEK as a diagnostic marker and drug target in the prevention or treatment of tumors
is also discussed.

Background:

There are limited scientific investigations on cognitive remediation in elderly
patients with schizophrenia. The present study was aimed to examine the efficacy of cognitive remediation
therapy on social skills in institutionalized elderly patients with schizophrenia.

Methods:

The study employed a randomized clinical trial. A total of 60 institutionalized elderly patients
with schizophrenia from Razi Psychiatric Hospital, Tehran were selected and randomly allocated
into two equal groups (control and intervention). The intervention group attended to cognitive
remediation therapy for 8 weeks. The Evaluation of Living Skills Scale for psychiatric patients was
used for data collection. The Chi Square, independent and paired t-tests using SPSS, version 22, were
employed to analyze the data.

Authors: Engelbrecht Zelinda , Potgieter Kariska , Mpela Zanele , Malgas-Enus Rehana , Meijboom Reinout , Cronje Marianne J.
Published: May 2017

Background:

A broad range of metal-coordinated complexes have been studied for their anticancer
activities. However, some of these complexes display high toxicity profiles to non-malignant cells, therefore
limiting their use in cancer therapeutics.

Aims/Method:

Several silver(I) triphenylphosphine adducts were prepared as 1:1 to 1:4 ratios of silver nitrate to
triphenylphosphine. They were further used to determine their anticancer activity in a malignant SNO esophageal
cell line. The silver(I) phosphine adducts include: [Ag(PPh3)]NO3 (1); [Ag(PPh3)2]NO3 (2); [Ag(PPh3)3]NO3
(3) and [Ag(PPh3)4]NO3 (4). In addition, the activity of complexes 1-4 was compared to previously reported
complexes [Ag(Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2)2]NO3 (5) and [Ag(Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2)2]NO3 (6). The cytotoxicity of complexes
1-6 was also evaluated in non-malignant human dermal fibroblast cells (HDF-a).

Results:

The majority of the complexes (specifically those containing PPh3) were found to be highly toxic to the
SNO cells and less toxic towards HDF-a cells, as determined by the alamarBlue® assay. Morphological studies
and flow cytometry confirmed that the silver(I) complexes induced apoptosis in the malignant cells.

Conclusion:

These results may have an impact on research related to drug discovery and silver(I) phosphine complexes
could be added to the arsenal of anticancer agents in addition to the silver-bis-diphenylphosphinoethane
and silver-bis-diphenylphosphinopropane adducts.
Convexity Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PA) Infective Endocarditis and Left Atrial Appendage Occluder (LAAO) Device Infection. A Case Report
Authors: Boukobza Monique , Smaali Ibtissem , Duval Xavier , Laissy Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2017

An 83 year-old-man with left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) developed Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PA) infective endocarditis. MRI at day 3 of onset showed distal small infarcts in both middle cerebral arteries and left postero-inferior cerebellar artery territories. MRI at day 6 revealed two sites of convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH). MRA and CTA failed to reveal a Mycotic aneurysm.

The radiologic findings favor the assumption of necrosis of distal branches of mca or of pial arteries wall.

This case present three unusual features: the presence of localized cSAH after initiation of antibiotherapy without mycotic aneurysm being individualized; the late occurrence of infective endocarditis after LAAO implantation; the very rare occurrence of PA in prosthetic infections.

Authors: Singh Anil Kumar , CHOUDHARY ARBIND KUMAR , KUMARI ARADHNA , KUMAR RAKESH
Published: May 2017

India is a global player in edible oil arena, being the 2nd largest importer, and 3rd largest consumer of edible oil as well as 4th largest oilseed producer. Soybean, groundnut, rapeseed and mustard contribute 82% of total inland oilseed production. Per capita consumption has been increasing and is projected to be around 24 kg by 2025. There is a large gap in production and demand of edible oilseeds, leading to growing dependency on import day by day. Productivity of Indian oil seed sector per se is very low that needs to be augmented to save the hard earned foreign exchange. This situation arise a call for revisiting researchable and policy issues adopted so far. This article discusses the current scenario and future strategies to achieve self-sufficiency in Indian oilseed sector.

Published: May 2017

Integration of different components viz. livestock, fishery, horticulture, mushroom etc. along with field crops not only enhanced productivity but by-products (waste) of one component act as input for another component through resource recycling within the system. Six integrated farming systems models with suitable combinations of Crop, vegetables, fruit trees, fish, livestock, mushroom etc. were made and evaluated at the experimental farm of ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna during 2012-16 for harness maximum income, nutrient recycling and employment. Among six combinations, crop + fish + duck + goat resulted as most profitable combination in terms of productivity (RGEY- 22.2t), net income (Rs. 2,15,900/ha), additional employment (170 days/year) with income sustainability index (ISI) by 90.2. Upon nutrient recycling prepared from different wastes from the system Crop + fish + duck + goat combination added N (56.5 kg), P (39.6 kg) and K (42.7 kg) into the soil and reduced the cost of cultivation by 24 percent and was followed by crop + fish + goat combination. Crops grown under IFS mode with different types of manures produced 31 percent higher yield over conventional rice- wheat system. The contribution of crops towards the system productivity ranged from 36.4 to 56.2 %, while fish ranged from 22.0-33.5 %; for goat 25.4-32.9 %; for poultry 38.7 %; for duck 22.0-29.0 %; for cattle 32.2% and for mushroom 10.3 %.

Authors: . AMANULLAH , KHAN SIDDIQUE , IQBAL ASIF , ALI AKHTAR
Published: May 2017

Soluble phosphorus (P) is the major limiting mineral nutrient for crop production under both irrigated and dryland conditions in semiarid regions. Beneficial microorganisms (BM) convert insoluble P to soluble forms making them available for plants. Field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of phosphorus (P) and BM on growth, biomass and harvest index in irrigated and dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Siren-2010) under calcareous soils in Northwestern Pakistan. The experiment was conducted under full (received five irrigations) and limited or dryland (received two irrigations) irrigated conditions at the Research Farm of The University of Agriculture Peshawar during winter 2012-13. The experiment under both full and limited irrigated conditions (IC) was laid out in randomized complete block design using three replications. The results revealed that growth, biomass and harvest index was significantly higher for full than limited condition and for treated plots (rest) than control. The interaction of BM x P x IC revealed that that under full irrigated condition the increase in both P and BM levels (90 kg P ha-1 and 30 L ha-1, respectively) and under limited irrigated condition the intermediate levels of both P and BM (60 kg P ha-1 and 20 L ha-1, respectively) increased growth, biomass and harvest index in wheat under calcareous soils in semiarid condition.

Availability of in-situ soil water plays a major role in exploiting the potential yield of crops under irrigated conditions. Depending on type of irrigation, variations of soil water is mostly observed at different soil depths within the root zone. The deviation of soil water at the edaphic zone becomes a deciding factor in assuring optimum yield. As availability of irrigation water is a great concern during non-rainy season, water saving irrigation techniques need to be adopted to maximize the productivity under hilly terrain. An experiment was laid out with potato as a test crop under the valley region of Meghalaya plateau on sandy clayey soil to study in-situ soil water dynamics under three different irrigation methods viz. furrow, micro-sprinkler and gravity-fed drip. Irrigation was scheduled at every weekly basis to restore back the soil water required to achieve the field capacity. Mean value of soil water up to 15 cm depth was 21.75, 22.65 and 23.45%, however, range (minimum to maximum) was 16.21-29.17; 15.56-29.21 and 17.84-28.97% for furrow, micro-sprinkler and gravity-fed drip irrigation, respectively. Co-efficient of variation was found to be the maximum (4.65%) for furrow over other two types of irrigations during the weekly interval. Deviation of in-situ soil water was found to vary rapidly at upper layer (30 cm) under furrow method of irrigation; but at deeper soil layer rapid variation was not observed. Water use efficiency of potato was evaluated to be 14.66, 18.78, 20.63 kg ha-1 mm-1 for furrow, micro-sprinkler and gravity-fed drip irrigation, respectively.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2005 at Agricultural Research station, Devihosur, Haveri, Karnataka to assess the progress of powdery mildew at different time interval of sowing dates. Totally 20 different dates of sowings were imposed in the experiment at an interval of 10 days. The crop sown on last week of May to mid of June recorded minimum disease severity compared to rest of the date of sowings. This clearly indicated that crop sown during this period suffers less, which may be due to low inoculum potential, whereas late sown crop suffers more because of the readily available inoculum in the early sown crops. Low disease severity in last week of May to mid of June sowing may be attributed to the non-congenial weather factors for the development of the disease.

Acclimatization is a process that occurs in individual cells to a drastic change in micro and macro environments. When an organism is subjected to a new environment or a change in its normal growing conditions, the cellular mechanisms initiate a warning sign and over a period of time or over generations the acquired, modified traits are being communicated and fixed as a new trait. If there is lack of equilibrium within the cell due to over expression of a single gene or network of associated genes either manmade or due to mutations, the organism or plant tries to fix it by initiating gene regulatory mechanisms. According to our neutral theory of gene expression, always a cell tries to maintain its pH by modifying its cytosol through altered gene expression. In the present investigation, 198 AtMYB genes were analyzed and found to play an intrinsic photosystem linked network of 38 nodes where MYB being regulated by a set of 48 miRNAs. Members of the network have evidence-based link to energy related mechanisms. Altering gene expression to an extent where, the cell may not be able to fix it or a trait, which requires excessive energy loss escorts the organism’s gene regulation by breakdown of the introduced sequence over few generations. Events with constitutive overexpression may suffer poor performance over the years based on gene network prevailing in the crop of interest. Hence, network rewiring with minimal energy expenses is concerned.

Investigation of temporal and spatial changes is essential in soil because of its heterogeneous, diverse and dynamic system. In present paper, content of some important major micronutrients namely zinc, boron and iron were estimated at different unsampled locations in Sevapuri block of Varanasi district, Uttar Pradesh by using some Geostatistical analysis. After normalizing the data, geo-statistical analyses were used to illustrate spatial variation and then spatial distribution maps of micronutrients were prepared. On the basis of these maps amount of micronutrients at unsampled location were estimated by using data of sampled locations.

Published: May 2017

The present study is designed to examine the changes in cropping pattern, area, production and productivity of principal crops along with their growth in North Bihar during last 40 years. It is emanated from analysis of data that the cropping pattern of the area under study is dominated by cereal crops. Among the cereals, wheat has emerged as the second most important cereal crop during period under study whereas rice experienced deceleration in area. Maize also gained in area due to adoption of winter maize at large scale in post seventies period. Winter maize is now preferred crop due to its higher yield potential. There has been significant change in cropping pattern during last four decades in north Bihar. All the principal crops recorded growth in production but performance of rice – the most important staple food crop in the area, has not been impressive during the period under study.Research priority should be assigned for innovation and spread of appropriate technology of rice production for unfavourable ecology of north Bihar. Pulses and oilseeds production witnessed a setback due to decline in area and almost stagnant productivity of most of pulses and oilseeds. Special efforts are needed to evolve the varieties of pulses and oilseeds for increasing their production to meet therequirement.

Sea is a important region for the integrity and unifying, a means of defense and security and foremost as a means of prosperity and welfare of a country due to the potential of the marine resources. Geographically, Indonesia can be termed as a maritime nation. Indonesia has the largest sea area in the world where two-thirds of its territory is waters. Indonesian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is a maritime area that has the greatest wealth potential. To Regulate, protect and enforce the law in the EEZ, the Indonesian government enacted Law No. 5 of 1983 on the Indonesian Exclusive Economic Zone. In that regulation, there is a provision on the sovereign rights as contained in the provisions of UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). Such right is a privilege rights to carry out the exploration, exploitation and conservation of marine resources. To that end, these rights should be used optimally in order to utilize and protect marine resources from illegal fishing by foreign vessels that have been so frequent that it can be utilized for the welfare and prosperity of society.

Management of fish resources (SDI) as a source of natural resources devoted to the people's welfare. Control of the fish resources are directed to the achievement of benefits for the greater prosperity of the people. Fisheries sector can serve as a leading sector in an effort to make Indonesia as the world's maritime axis. Therefore, it must be realized that fisheries management with reference to the principles of sustainable development of marine resources by basing on Agenda 21 of the UN Conference of 1992 on Environment and Development, or the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For that, we need an improvement in the regulation of marine policy. Rights-based Licensing system or rights-based access (allocation of rights to use formal) is an alternative that should be explored, so that everyone has equal access without an incentive to maintain its sustainability.

Maritime and marine development targets are very realistic considering the position of Indonesia is geographically located and has a comparative advantage because it is very close to the world market. On the other hand, Indonesia is located in the tropics with thousands of islands have a wealth and maritime and marine resource potential is very large. Awareness of the protection and preservation of the marine environment began to grow among the countries participating in the Convention; especially regarding the exploitation of natural resources is carried out on a large scale in the marine environment. Especially for marine areas that are still in dispute, the power of sharing activity is the distribution of marine resources with the agreement Joint exploitation the original problem as a potential source of conflict, transformed and directed into a source of cooperation. Such cooperation generally includes the exploration, exploitation, and sharing of benefits derived from the exploitation of natural resources in the region for the parties.
