El hombre como hacedor del paisaje
Authors: Rotundo Blanca , Pérez Molina María Isabel
Published: November 2019

Concebir al hombre como artífice y responsable en la construcción del medio que lo rodea no es, en sí misma, una idea novedosa. Es dable aceptar que, en ocasiones, cae en el olvido queel hombre habita el mismo medio que construye y/o destruye día tras día. En muchas ocasiones, elespacio de todos se convierte en un espacio de nadie, en un no lugar transitado por muchos sin serconsiderado un espacio de pertenencia.Sociedad y cultura son dos caras de una misma moneda. Cerrarse en la fantasía de vivir en unasociedad globalizada, con una cultura globalizada significa perder de vista los indicadores de unaidentidad regional. En tal sentido, es posible que la crisis del hombre en su medio sea casi irreversible. Habrá de considerarse vital la construcción de una ciudadanía plena, en virtud de la formaciónintegral de un hombre que aprenda a mirarse a sí mismo, reconociéndose en un otro semejantemiembro de una comunidad determinada. La participación plural, abierta y democrática de la mayoría de los ciudadanos, es la que nos podrá rescatar de algunos abismos. El hombre democrático nonace, se construye a través de la educación. Así como se construye la mirada multidisciplinaria y lasacciones multisectoriales.

Authors: Solari Fabio A. , Solari Fabio A. , Cazorla Laura
Published: November 2019

Las características físicas del paisaje pueden ser identificadas por sus atributos visuales, yaque el planeamiento, las decisiones de manejo, la interacción de la cultura y los procesos naturales llevan a cambios físicos que se verán en el futuro en el paisaje. Los paisajes escénicos son una de las mayores fuentes para el goce humano y en algunos casos ha sido el objeto de acción pública directa paraconservar su calidad. Además, la necesidad de contar con medios válidos por cuantificar los caracteresescénicos de los paisajes ha aumentado substancialmente con el desarrollo de la planificación del usode la tierra y sus requisitos de datos medioambientales en que basar las decisiones de uso de tierra. Sepresenta una metodología para la valoración de la Calidad Visual y su Fragilidad, tanto de los paisajesrurales como de los urbanos, con el fin de disponer de una valoración del paisaje que permita ordenarde forma adecuada la implantación de determinados usos y actividades en un territorio.
Comunicación y liderazgo: sin comunicación no hay líder
Authors: Garay Madariaga Marcelino
Published: November 2019

En ese artículo el autor reflexiona acerca de la interdependencia entre la comunicación y el liderazgo, para lo cual aborda disciplinas que les son transversales a ambas, comola inteligencia emocional, la resonancia, la empatía, los territorios cognitivos y los espacios designificados compartidos. Para ello, recurre a lo que se denominan `modelos mentales´, que muchas veces se traducen en las resistencias a asumir los cambios promovidos por la organización.De esta forma, el problema radica cuando los modelos mentales son tácitos, y aquí es donde lacomunicación desarrolla su rol preponderante en la gestión de un liderazgo efectivo y en pos deminimizar las posibilidades de conflicto. También, se destaca la importancia del perfil del líder,en el sentido que logre generar resonancia en sus colaboradores y confiabilidad, para lo cual seprofundiza en las variables propias de la inteligencia emocional vinculándola con la comunicación. Finalmente, se trata de lograr que la integridad del líder favorezca el proceso comunicacional de la organización, haciendo posible estructurar sobre un contexto de confianza la emisiónde mensajes que lleguen de manera positiva y eficaz a las audiencias correspondientes.

Antígona, desde el teatro clásico al Derecho Puro. Perspectivas de la enseñanza a través del método del case-study
Authors: Pereyra María Laura
Published: November 2019

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo tomar la teoría del “case – study” y aplicarla deforma original a la enseñanza del Derecho, a través del análisis de la obra de teatro clásico Antigonade Sófocles. Es menester desatacar que son cada vez más frecuentes los factores que nos demuestranque los alumnos encuentran dificultades para superar el abismo que media entre las abstraccionesteóricas y las situaciones confusas que se presentan en la realidad. Para cubrir esa carencia formativael método de estudio de casos es un intento de aprendizaje grupal orientado a extraer el máximobeneficio posible de las experiencias y conocimientos de los otros.Así Antigona como obra de teatro puede ser relacionada a través de su contenido con el mundo delDerecho buscando generar en el alumno un andamiaje que le permita el manejo inteligente del conocimiento que posee, alejándose así del mero acopio de información.Por medio del análisis de esta tragedia griega el alumno se encontrará en la encrucijada de dos corrientes filosóficas del Derecho: el Ius Naturalismo o Derecho Natural y el Ius Positivismo o DerechoPositivo. Tal dicotomía le permitirá enfrentarse a dilemas reales que deberá resolver en su vida profesional, por ejemplo qué sucede cuando la Ley prohíbe un acto que el sujeto considera justo y moral,y esa prohibición recae sobre personas amadas.

Avanza la tecnología, ¡que se salve el contenido!
Authors: Di Pino Orlando Daniel
Published: November 2019

En este artículo el autor reflexiona acerca de la relación del avance de la tecnología y la calidad de los contenidos, y en cómo esto impacta en la gestión comunicacional. Habla del hombre 2010, al que llama Cyborg -mitad físico, mitad conectado- que se mueve alternativamente como emisor, receptor, ruido y decodificador, casi como un acróbata que juega diversos roles en un escenario virtual que a la vez, es real. Refiere a la tecnología convertida en un commodity, y analiza su relación con el contenido del discurso personal/corporativo, en una vidriera en la cual las empresas están expuestas en 360º donde ya no hay espacio para el bajo perfil. Finalmente, enfatiza en la necesidad de trabajar en profundidad en la elaboración de discursos que permitan vislumbrar a una persona/institución, ya que el mensaje es la identidad constitutiva hecha signo; mientras que la imagen y la palabra son el ADN visible.

Migration as a Source of Suffering in the Context of the Biographical Experience of the Process of Transformation in Poland. Case Study of Weronika’s Life History
Authors: Wygnańska Joanna
Published: November 2019

The article focuses on the case study of the life history of Weronika, a person biographically experiencing the consequences of the transformation process in Poland. On the one hand, the text concentrates on showing the change in the status of the narrator’s family from a privileged position in the socialist period to the experience of unemployment and poverty after 1989. On the other hand, the text analyzes the necessity of the narrator’s mother’s emigration to Italy in the mid-1990s. Thus, the article focuses on the narrator’s experience in the context of being a migrant woman’s child. This experience is related to the time of socialization and education, which was difficult for the narrator, and the consequence of which is shown in the text in connection to the narrator’s persistence in trajectory. The text also presents the perspective of transnational motherhood within the framework of Polish women’s migrations after 1989. Also, an important perspective adapted in the article is the experience of migration by the narrator, who at the time of the interview has also been living in Italy for 10 years. Permanent emigration of the narrator is associated in her life history with high biographical costs. The article is, therefore, an attempt to present migration as a source of suffering in relation to the context of being a migrant’s child and being a migrant oneself. The analysis of Weronika’s case is also an attempt to show the relationship between the individual experience of the narrator and the mechanisms of collective influence. Thus, the text treats the analyzed life history as one of the biographical accounts reflecting the biographical and social processes assigned to a specific time frame. In this perspective, the text aims to reconstruct the complexity of these processes and to interpret the experienced social reality in an individual biography.
The Precarious Life Situation Trap. The Case of “Zealous” Julia—A Proponent and a Victim of Neoliberal Reality
Authors: Waniek Katarzyna
Published: November 2019

The analysis of Julia’s (b. 1984) case, empirically grounded in the autobiographical narrative interview method, will discuss the mutual influence of the individual experiences and the collective processes that result in a precarious life situation being a stage of the trajectory of suffering process. It will be argued that the generation born between 1980-1990 that entered their adolescence period (and, at the same time, labor market) in a very specific socio-cultural context, framed by the dynamics of interrelated processes of political transformation, vibrant modernization, globalization, and, last but not least, development of neoliberal ideology, has been the first one in Poland to be exposed to the deep and overwhelming biographical changes. They have been oftentimes connected with the feeling of biographical trap and the experience of precarious balance of everyday life that—to a large extent—is a consequence of belonging to intensively multiplying social words with their divergent stocks of knowledge at hand, clashing ideologies, conflicting moral standards, dissonant rules of conducts, and expectations. Additionally, in the discussed case, I will deal with a biographical irony: Julia is both—a zealous propagator of allegedly universal attitudes of neoliberalism and a victim of this subtle mode of power. All these contradictions and tensions are clearly seen in the formal features of her (as well as many other people born in the 80’s last century) renderings, which are nonlinear, incoherent, emotionally overloaded, and full of fading-out phenomena.
Winners and Losers of the Process of Transformation as an Etic Category versus Emic Biographical Perspective
Authors: Kaźmierska Kaja
Published: November 2019

One of the common and schematic descriptions in the perspective of the 1989 breakthrough are two ways of dealing with it by people who are respectively called winners or losers of transformation. These stereotypical characteristics are not only the tool to draw the general image of effects of the transition, but are also based on the specific way of interpretation deeply rooted, for example, in neoliberal thinking. Yet, from the perspective of an individual—so-called Schütz’s man on the street—the categorization of winners and losers not only simplifies the description of social reality, but also it cannot be easily biographically justified because the etic categorization is not always relevant to the emic perspective. In other words, the life history of an individual, showing the main phases and events of biography, and life story—the way that one interprets his/her biographical experiences— may not correspond to each other. The analysis of these two aspects of biography (what is lived through and how it is interpreted) shows how people have dealt with the process of transformation. In the paper, it is presented on the basis of one case study.

Determinants of out of pocket healthcare expenditures: The case of Mugla province in Turkey
Authors: Senturk Bilge , Danisman Isik Aysun , Ekiz  Gokmen Cisel
Published: November 2019

As the share of health care financing from public funds was increasing in Turkey, the utilization of the health care services has also increased, dramatically. Despite of universal health coverage, the result of this trend causes to increase the incidence of making out of pocket expenditures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the determinants of households' health expenditures in Mugla province of Turkey. A total of 204 households living in the central district of Mugla were surveyed and questioned both for their total consumption and health expenditures, as well as their health status, demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Ordinary least square method was used for the multiple regression analysis to identify the factors that affect the out of pocket health care expenditures. In addition to other empirical studies in Turkey, the effects of relative poverty and types of income and occupation on oop expenditures were estimated. Results identify that consumption expenditure of the household, poverty, wage/income status, education, household size, having chronic disease and having elderly in the households have significant effects on the amount of out of pocket (oop) health expenditure of the households.

Authors: Septianingtyas Daniar Mukti
Published: November 2019

Traffic accident becomes a very serious case because it causes not only material loss but also physical and psychological harms to the subject and the people around him. Accidents that occurred resulted in not only injuries but also death. This study aims to identify characteristics of traffic accident victims in Sidoarjo in 2016. It was an observational study with cross sectional design and based on daily data of traffic accident with 735 samples. Data were processed by ordinal logistic regression statistic test. In this case, variables of the study included the severity of victim, age, gender, profession, time of occurrence, type of collision, and type of vehicle. The results of characteristic identification showed that most of the victims had minor injuries, were male, aged  ≥ 34 years old, workers, and got into accidents in the afternoon. The conclusion was factors affecting the severity of traffic accident victims in Sidoarjo were head-on-collisions (hitting straight) and motorcycles as the vehicle type. Modelling obtained was 3,133 for the constant of head-on-collision (hitting straight), 1,464 for the constant of vehicle type (motorcycles), and Y value of 4,597. This study was not supported by complete predictor data, thus the data need to be added so that the accuracy of classification increases and the value gets significant.

Published: November 2019

Visible and near-infrared reflectance (Vis–NIR) techniques are a plausible method to soil analyses. The main objective of the study was to investigate the capacity to predicting soil properties Al, Ca, K, Mg, Na, P, pH, total carbon (TC), H and N, by using different spectral (350–2500 nm) pre-treatments and machine learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest (RF), Partial Least-squares Regression (PLSR) and Cubist (CB). The 300 soil samples were sampled in the upper part of the Itatiaia National Park (INP), located in Southeastern region of Brazil. The 10 K-fold cross validation was used with the models. The best spectral pre-treatment was the Inverse of Reflectance by a Factor of 104 (IRF4) for TC with CB, giving an averaged R² among the folds of 0.85, RMSE of 1.96; and 0.67 with 0.041 respectively for H. Into the K-folds models of TC, the highest prediction had a R² of 0.95. These results are relevant for the INP management plan, and also to similar environments. The good correlation with Vis–NIR techniques can be used for remote sense monitoring, especially in areas with very restricted access such as INP.
Towards a Set of Guidelines for the Development of Robust Water-sharing Systems
Authors: Young Michael
Published: November 2019

A framework for the review of existing water management systems and their transformation into robust water sharing systems is offered. The framework focuses on the need to develop efficient and equitable ways to manage water scarcity and plan to deal with the tensions scarcity imposes on any community. The framework identifies a way to bring together traditional community-managed systems with those typically used to allocate water to large water users and more commonly found in developed countries. So that use can be kept within sustainable limits while optimizing use, the framework includes mechanisms that enable the reallocation of water as demand and supply conditions change. Non-consumptive uses are recognized and environmental objectives can be delivered efficiently. Compliance with well-established accounting and hydro-logical concepts. Ways to increase the value of existing entitlements, encourage innovation and protect investments are included as options. It is recognized that the governance and legal arrangements necessary to underpin successful implantation are context specific.
Phylogenetic Profiling and Disordered Region Assessment of MECP2, CDKL5, and FOXG1 to Reveal Strategies for Rett Syndrome Treatment
Authors: Fahmi Muhamad , Yasui Gen , Seki Kaito , Katayama Syouichi , Kaneko-Kawano Takako , Inazu Tetsuya , Kubota Yukihiko , Ito Masahiro
Published: November 2019

Rett syndrome (RTT), a neurodevelopmental disorder, is mainly caused by mutations in methyl CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2), which alter the functions of domains to either bind to methylated DNA or interact with a transcriptional co-repressor complex. It has been established that alterations in cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) or forkhead box protein G1 (FOXG1) correspond to distinct neurodevelopmental disorders, given that a series of studies have indicated that RTT is also caused by alterations in either one of these genes. We tried to elucidate RTT through evolution and structure assessment of MeCP2, CDKL5, and FOXG1, by focusing on their binding partners and disordered structures. Here, we provide insight into the similarities of the FOXG1 and MECP2 binding partners evolution and function. On the other hand, we suggest that CDKL5 could be a potential candidate for a classical RTT treatment, particularly based on its disordered structure that spans after the catalytic domain to the C-terminus, which shows abundant linear motifs that can bind to molecules with divergent structures of similar affinity. Additionally, we provide insight into the relationship between disordered structure and disease.

Soil microarthropods and soil health: Intersection of decomposition and pest suppression
Authors: Neher Deborah A. , Barbercheck Mary E.
Published: November 2019

Two desirable functions of healthy soil are nutrient cycling and pest suppression. We review recent literature on the contributions of soil microarthropods to soil health through their intersecting roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling and direct and indirect suppression of plant pests. Microarthropods can impact soil and plant health directly by feeding on pest organisms or serving as alternate prey for larger predatory arthropods, and indirectly, by mediating the ability of crop plants to resist or tolerate insect pests and diseases through interactions with the decomposition food web in support of plant nutrition. Soil fauna, including microarthropods, are key regulators of decomposition at local scales but their role at larger scales is unresolved. Future research priorities include the incorporation of multi-channel omnivory into food web modeling and understanding the vulnerability of our soil carbon to increased global temperatures.
Black Hole Entropy from Non-Commutative Geometry and Spontaneous Localisation
Authors: Singh Tejinder P. , Maithresh Palemkota
Published: November 2019

In our recently proposed theory of quantum gravity, a black hole arises from the spontaneous localisation of an entangled state of a large number of atoms of space-time-matter [STM]. Prior to localisation, the non-commutative curvature of an STM atom is described by the spectral action of non-commutative geometry. By using the techniques of statistical thermodynamics from trace dynamics, we show that the gravitational entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole results from the microstates of the entangled STM atoms and is given (subject to certain assumptions) by the classical Euclidean gravitational action. This action, in turn, equals the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy (Area/$4{L_P}^2$) of the black hole. We argue that spontaneous localisation is related to black-hole evaporation through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.
Precanonical Structure of the Schrödinger Wave Functional of a Quantum Scalar Field in Curved Space-Time
Authors: Kanatchikov Igor V.
Published: November 2019

A relationship between the functional Schr\"odinger representation and the precanonical quantization of a nonlinear scalar field theory is extended to arbitrary curved space-times. The canonical functional derivative Schr\"odinger equation is derived from the manifestly covariant precanonical Schr\"odinger equation in a singular limiting case when the ultraviolet parameter $\varkappa$ introduced by precanonical quantization is identified with the invariant delta-function at equal spatial points. In the same limiting case, the Schr\"odinger wave functional is expressed as the trace of the multidimensional product integral of Clifford-algebra-valued precanonical wave functions restricted to a certain field configuration. Thus the standard QFT in curved space-time in functional Schr\"odinger representation emerges from the precanonical formulation of quantum fields as a singular limiting case.

Cocoa bean husk is one of the product of cocoa which is only utilized as animal feed and has low economic value. Economic value of cocoa bean husks can be enhanced by extracting the husk using methanol into powder and applied to a process product namely cookies. Cookies are types of biscuit which are made from soft dough, high in fat and relatively crisp. The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of powder that was added and its impact to the cookies product. The analysis was done for sensory test, moisture content, fat content and protein content. The result showed that water content ranged from 2.39% - 4.85%. Fat content ranged from 7.57% - 8.64%, and ash content ranged from 0.73% - 2.02%. In the organoleptic test, the color and odor which were preferred by the panelists was treatment A0 (control) whereas the taste and texture was treatment A1 (addition of 5% powder).
Radiographic Predictors of Medial Collateral Ligament Injury and Stability of the Elbow
Authors: Lebovic Jordan A. , Dyer George S. , Khurana Bharti
Published: November 2019

Background:

It has been postulated that injury to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the elbow is rare in cases of elbow fracture-dislocation, and if the MCL is torn, it does not require surgical repair. Elbow fracture-dislocations with MCL insufficiency are associated with recurrent instability, secondary surgery, and the development of posttraumatic arthritis. With the current study, our aim was to investigate whether evidence of an MCL attachment-site fracture on a radiograph or computed tomography (CT) scan is predictive of MCL insufficiency, the need for MCL repair, and postoperative instability.

Methods:

This retrospective study included 219 patients (median age of 50 years; 53% female) with elbow fracture-dislocations treated at 2 Level-I trauma centers during the period of 2005 to 2016. Patients were followed for a median of 6.3 years to determine postoperative stability. Operative notes and radiology reports were reviewed to confirm MCL insufficiency and periarticular fractures. Radiographs and CT scans were analyzed by a musculoskeletal fellowship-trained emergency radiologist and a board-certified upper-extremity orthopaedic surgeon.

Results:

Of the 33 patients with confirmed fractures at an MCL attachment site, 26 (79%) had MCL insufficiency, whereas of the 186 patients without fracture at an MCL attachment site, only 17 (9%) had MCL insufficiency. Of the 6 patients with an attachment-site fracture and MCL insufficiency who did not undergo initial MCL repair, 5 required reoperation. Of the 7 patients without an attachment-site fracture and with MCL insufficiency who did not undergo initial MCL repair, only 1 required reoperation.

Conclusions:

Fractures involving an MCL attachment site, regardless of their size, help to predict MCL insufficiency. These fractures can be visualized using initial radiographs and CT scans that are routinely obtained. Additional research is required to assess these findings. Our findings further suggest that repairing an MCL-complex injury in cases of fracture-dislocation in which the fracture has occurred at an MCL attachment site may improve elbow stability and decrease the likelihood of requiring reoperation.

Permeability Upscaling in Carbonates. An Integrated Case Study From the Albion R&D Project
Authors: Massonnat Gérard , Danquigny Charles , Rolando Jean-Paul
Published: November 2019

In carbonates, predicting permeability values for gridded reservoir models is very challenging as it involves both the difficult characterization of a very heterogeneous medium, the uncertain extrapolation far from well data, and the up-scaling concern. The quantification of effective permeability for model gridblocks using small scale data from plug measurements or log interpretation is a recurrent concern since the change of support for permeability has proved to be definitively non linear. When a well test interpretation is available, it gives the evolution of the permeability in the vicinity of the wells for a volume much larger than the volumes characterized by cores and logs. In that case, the consistency has to be found between the transient pressure analysis-derived large scale equivalent permeability and the small scale permeability issued from conventional core analysis or log interpretation.

It is known that the upscaling can be expressed as some power average of the permeability distribution, and that an analytical formula relates the horizontal permeability in the volume investigated by the well test and the original small-scale permeability distribution in this volume. However, the relation between the upscaling law and the permeability structures is usually documented for a few number of structures, leading to recurrent problems when large scale permeability has to be extrapolated outside the volume explored by the well test.

A new formulation of the power averaging coefficient has been proposed, which relates the power averaging coefficient to the geostatistical description of the permeability structures, the direction of the flow, and the volume for which the equivalent permeability is computed. The new methodology has been applied to the Buissonniere field laboratory, a site from the ALBION R&D Project. Thanks to a characterization at an unusual scale, the integration of geological, petrophysical, geophysical and pressure transient data has successfully validated the use of this new formulation.

Behavior Based Safety (BBS) began after re-search conducted by Herbert William Heinrich between (1886-1962), that led to the theory that 95% of accidents in the workplace are caused by unsafe behavior.

Over the years, BBS programs became popular, and organizations highly depended on them to improve safety performance. Unfortunately, in many organizations these programs often failed to become sustainable and provide the promised results. They focused on the number of observations as opposed to the quality of the observations. In some cases, they also resulted in issues with blaming workers and penalizing them for their unsafe behavior. Another common reason for failed BBS programs was in the deployment of the system, in some cases they were implemented with a bottom up approach, where there was minimal involvement and committment from management and leadership; it resulted in the program becaming just another initiative with no added value.

The objective of the project was to determine the gaps in the existing BBS program within Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). The second objective was to develop an in house program that improved safety performance by reducing safety incidents, improving safety culture, and achieving a pro-active mindset to safety issues.

The methods used in this study included: Researching and analyzing literature found on the World Wide Web.Visiting several field locations, and contractor companies, to engage with the frontline crew.Interviewing management from the organization and the contractor community.Review of case studies of companies that have implemented off the shelf or developed in house BBS programs.Reviewing the data gathered to prioritize findings and provide solutions.

Project Significance

The instigation of the project was due to an increase in repeated safety incidents and fatalities percieved to have been caused by unsafe acts, despite the number of observation cards being received. There was also a concern that the safety culture was not supportive to a more injury preventative environment.
Temporary Plugging Mechanism of Degradable Diversion Agents within Reproduced Acid-Etched Fracture by Using 3D Printing Model

Published: November 2019

As proved from both experimental tests and field applications, diversion agents can effectively plug the previously artificial fractures or natural fractures to create reorientation fractures, which can improve diversion efficiency and stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). However, the temporary plugging mechanism and its influencing factors were still unclear.

In light of this, a fracture temporary plugging evaluation system was proposed by this study, which holds large fracture scale, and high pressure-bearing capability. Hence, this setup can meet the requirements of plugging tests. Moreover, in order to enhance the experimental accuracy, the 3D printing technique was introduced, which can reproduce the real surface morphology of acid-etched fracture. Based on the newly designed setup, some experiments were performed to study the plugging rules of fibers and the combination of fibers and particulates. Furthermore, the inner plugging mechanisms of the different cases were also analyzed.

Experimental results show that the pure fibers and the combination of fibers and particulates both can achieve favorable plugging effect. In addition, the plugging processes of pure fibers can be summaried as follows: 1) The carrier fluid with fibers flow into the fracture model and a small amount of fibers remain in the fracture. 2) Fibers begin to adhere to the fracture surface with a small fracture width. 3) The previously attached fibers capture the subsequently injected fibers to bridge plugging. 4) The bridging plugging extend to the entrance and eventually form a tight plugging zone. Furthermore, when the diameter of particulates is less than the half of fracture width, the plugging mechanism is similar as that of pure fibers. When the diameter of particulates is larger than the half of fracture width, the plugging mechanism is completely different from that of pure fibers. The big particulates will firstly be bridging and plugging at the location with a small fracture width.

This study reveals the temporary plugging mechanism of diversion agents within acid-etched fracture, which provides an insight of optimizing temporary plugging fracturing design.

Unsupervised learning technique was implemented to delineate locations of potential hydrocarbon reservoirs at offshore Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. Integrating several geophysical observations that are sensitive to different physical parameters in a single scheme results in more constrained and high-resolution geophysical models. We created a database comprising gravity and magnetic field data as primary attributes. Then, by implementing nonlinear inversion modelling of gravity and magnetic field data, depth-to-basement and depth-to-salt structures were derived as complementary attributes. Applying k-means clustering technique on the preprocessed data around the Ghasha oil field, the areas with higher probability of hydrocarbon reservoirs were distinguished. The regions that encompass known oil fields cover shallow Infracambrian salt interface which is associated with lower gravity signals due to lower density. Nonetheless, these areas are located over higher gravity and magnetic values resulted from the shallower basement which obscures the negative gravity anomaly expected from the salt structure. The clustering results also indicates that a different process is needed for creation of smaller hydrocarbon reservoirs. These cases are mostly located over the edges of the clusters where we have a transition from positive to negative anomalies. This is justified as trapping mechanism over the domes is different than the slopes.
High Risk Exploration in a Hypermature Hydrocarbon Basin: An Example from the Vienna Pull-Apart Basin, Austria

Published: November 2019

OMV’s exploration efforts in Austria include the prospecting for new fields in units of the Alpine thrust belt below the Neogene Vienna Basin. Current exploration efforts are targeting the deep and underexplored parts of the Paleogene thrust belt with potentially large structural closures within the so-called Rhenodanubian Flysch units.

Interpretation of fold-thrust structures is primarily based on new 3D seismic reflection data, which images the Paleogene nappes buried below the Neogene Vienna Basin fill and is supplemented by well data. In order to improve the understanding of the structural architecture, the results are compared to the regional structural framework of the Eastern Alps and West Carpathians to the W and NE of the Vienna Basin, respectively.

Spatial seismic interpretation depicts the Rhenodanubian Flysch units being subject to three major phases of deformation during the Paleogene and Neogene: D1, Paleogene extension prior to thrusting; D2, Paleogene ~N-directed foreland propagating thrusting and subsequent Early Miocene ~N- and ~NW-directed out-of-sequence thrusting; D3, Middle and Late Miocene extension related to the formation of the Vienna pull-apart basin post-dating the thrusting episodes.

Our interpretation depicts several large ~NE-trending structural closures within the deeper parts of the N-vergent Paleogene nappe stack with structural closures of up to 1000 m and areas of up to 5km². They include Paleogene turbidites, which are known dual porosity fractured reservoirs in producing fields within overlying nappes. The NE-trending structural closures result from both Paleogene N-directed thrusting and subsequent refolding of the N-vergent flysch nappes by Early Miocene NW-directed out-of-sequence thrusts. Comparison of data with the regional tectonic framework suggests that the NW-directed out-of sequence thrusts result from a local reorientation of thrusting and from basement buttressing during the Early Miocene, both being triggered by the shape and geometry of the underlying basement units.

Our results highlight the exploration potential in the deeper parts of the Alpine thrust belt with target depths exceeding 3 km. Due to the complex deformation, challenging reservoir types, high formation pressures and limited amount of data, the exploration of these deep targets translates to higher geological/technical risks and uncertainties, compared to shallower, more traditional plays. However, though very challenging, the deep opportunities have the potential for finding significant resources in an already hypermature hydrocarbon basin.
A New Method to Optimize and Interpret Lab Measurement of Tight Gas Saturation Exponents from Equilibrium Capillary Pressure Resistivity Index Pc-RI
Authors: Svec Robert , Pentland Christopher
Published: November 2019

Equilibrium Pc-RI measurements on low permeability core plugs present the SCAL laboratory with some difficult challenges regarding the duration of measurements and the attainment of truly equilibrated resistance readings. A new empirical method is described that allows estimation of fully equilibrated resistance by application of a simple transient data linearizing transform and plot slope analysis. A small set of plugs from a conventional tight gas field in the Sultanate of Oman is used to demonstrate the method. The method may also be used by the lab to monitor and shorten the Pc-RI measurement duration without compromising the interpretation of saturation exponents or capillary curves. Transform plot transients and macro capillary number are examined to estimate a boundary where the plugs transition from shock front rapid desaturation to slow percolation desaturation behavior.
