Published: October 2018

Sour gas injection (SGI) pilot was successfully implemented in Tengizchevroil (TCO) in 2008, successfully achieving pressure maintenance in Tengiz platform, re-injecting gas with high H2S concentration and improving oil recovery within pilot area. Over the years, gas breakthrough and GOR increase has been observed in majority of producers in SGI pattern. Due to limited surface gas handling capacity, producing SGI pattern wells with elevated GOR and H2S has been a challenge. At the same time, it is critical to manage voidage replacement ratio in the pilot area to maintain sufficient miscible gas sweep and ensure enough pressure release. Inability to inject all the sour gas to the reservoir leads to equivalent oil production cut at the Plant.

Specialized SGI Operating Strategy has been in place since the commencement of the project with the aim of developing broader understanding of injected gas front evolution and operating the SGI Pilot in a way to maximize value for TCO by balancing between maximizing lower GOR/H2S front-end plant production vs. maintaining sufficient well injectivity. The production and injection well targets and surveillance activities were tailored towards fulfilling these strategic objectives. The operating strategy has been revisited several times to ensure appropriateness to business needs at any given time.

Specialized reservoir simulation model is utilized for short and long-term injection forecasts to develop plans to provide sufficient well injection capacity at any given time.

This paper will discuss challenges and best practices associated with (1) operating elevated GOR/H2S wells in a gas constrained environment while performing reservoir data acquisition program in highly congested area to fulfill SGI pilot objectives and (2) finding the trade-off between front-end plant production and injection goals.
Sucker Rod String Rod Guide Service Life Estimation
Authors: Clemens Langbauer , Tobias Permanschlager , Viorica Sirghii , Mikhail Pavlov , Herbert Hofstätter
Published: October 2018

The sucker rod string is equipped with rod guides that help to stabilize the sucker rod string and to prevent the contact between rods and tubing, which would end up in rod failures and tubing leaks. The scope of this paper is to present a wear study of sucker rod string rod guides performed at a testing facility to predict the wear and service life.

Sucker rod pumping systems are well known for their high overall performance and their wide range of application. Nevertheless, experience and failure analysis of broken sucker rod pumping systems have shown that more than fifty percent of failures are the result of tubing wear, caused by contact with the rods. To be able to estimate the wear speed of the rod guides and thus the lifetime of the system, extensive testing of rod guides wear behavior was performed under real field conditions. The equipment was tested under realistic temperature, pressure, load, and speed conditions in the testing facility.

A significant number of wear tests were performed under different conditions, and the results have shown that the weight loss and diameter decrease of the rod guides can be essential already after a few hundred hours of operation, reflecting several hundreds of kilometers of distance traveled. A size reduction of some millimeters indicates the importance of rod guide wear on the mean time between failures. A sensitivity analysis has shown the significance of the normal force and the roughness of the tubing string on the wear of the rod guides. This paper presents the conducted case study and the major findings.

The gained knowledge is the basis for the development of a detailed wear prediction tool to properly estimate the lifetime of the rod guides under realistic conditions.
Investigating and Mitigating Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition in Low Permeability Oil Reservoirs During Carbon Dioxide Flooding to Increase Oil Recovery
Authors: Fakher Sherif , Imqam Abdulmohsin
Published: October 2018

Carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding has been applied extensively worldwide to improve oil recovery from hydrocarbon reservoirs. One of the main problems associated with CO2 flooding is asphaltene precipitation, which leads to pore plugging, and eventually, low oil recovery. Asphaltene precipitation during CO2 flooding has been extensively studied for conventional oil reservoirs, however, with recent applications of CO2 flooding in unconventional shale reservoirs, it is important to study asphaltene precipitation and mitigation in nano-sized pores. This research investigates the main factors that can affect asphaltene precipitation in nano-sized pores during CO2 flooding, and attempts to mitigate this precipitation using common asphaltene mitigation chemical agents. Filter membranes with 0.2, 10, and 100 nm pores size were used in this study. The factors impacting asphaltene precipitation studied include the CO2 injection pressure, using 200, 400, and 750 psi, the experimental vessel temperature, using 60, 100, and 150 °C, crude oil viscosity, including 470, 260, and 67 cp, CO2 soaking time using 0.5 and 2 hours, filter membrane thickness, including 0.2, 0.6, and 1 mm, and pore size heterogeneity by combining different pore sized filter membranes together. The mitigation chemicals used include kerosene, xylene, naphtha, heptane, and water. The asphaltene wt% for both the produced oil and the bypassed, unproduced, oil was measured for all experiments. Compared to the pure crude oil, not used in any experiment, the asphaltene wt% for the produced oil in all experiments was lower, while the asphaltene wt% for the bypassed oil was higher. The wt% of the asphaltene decreased with the increase in pressure due to the oil being forced out of the nano pores, while an increase in temperature resulted in an increase in asphaltene due to the higher temperatures resulting in instability of the asphaltenes in the oil. The higher viscosity oil had a higher asphaltene wt% in all experiments. Decreasing the CO2 soaking time reduced the asphaltene precipitation. The 100 nm pore size had an asphaltene wt% close to that of the normal crude oil. For the mitigation experiments, xylene and kerosene proved the best, while naphtha and heptane facilitated the precipitation of asphaltene. Pore plugging in conventional oil reservoirs is considered a large problem, and so it is considered extremely drastic if it occurs in the nan-sized pores of shale reservoirs. This research shows the main parameters that will impact asphaltene precipitation during CO2 flooding and illustrates the most effective chemical agent, form the ones applied in the study, to mitigate this precipitation.
Maximum Reservoir Contact in Horizontal Wells Achieved with Multilayer Bed Boundary Detection Technology, Case Study from Kyzylorda Region

In general, the objective of horizontal drilling is to maximize reservoir contact within the target interval to achieve the planned well performance in a thin layer or when drilling within a thin oil deposit, when the distance between the reservoir top and the oil-water contact (OWC) is short and there is a risk or borehole exit into the overlying formation or water-bearing zone.

In horizontal drilling, there always exist risks associated with geological uncertainties. If the structural dip is different from expected, lateral thickness or reservoir property variations exist; if subseismic faults are present, the horizontal well, drilled as per plan, may not achieve sufficient reservoir contact. As a result, the well may underperform.

Well placement (or geosteering) is used in horizontal wells to accomplish geological objectives. The well placement process is an interactive approach to well construction, combining technology and people to deliver optimally placed wellbores in a given geological setting to maximize production or injection performance. In Akshabulak field, southern Kazakhstan, multilayer bed boundary detection technology was applied for geosteering in two horizontal wells.
Integrated Approach to Identify and Control the Water-Injection Induced Fractures in the Low-Permeability Reservoir
Authors: Jinfang Wang , Xingfan Zheng , Zhengmao Wang , Baozhu Li , Yong Li
Published: October 2018

The water-injection induced fractures are key factors influencing successful water injection development in the extra-low permeability reservoir. As water flooding, the water-injection induced fractures have the distinctive characteristic of dynamic fracture growth, which fasten the water breakthrough time and decrease the production and final oil recovery rate. However, it is difficult to analyze the distribution of micro-fractures using logging or seismic data, because of the small size. This paper presents the integrated methods to recognize the water-injection induced fractures, and gives the water-flooding policy limit to control the dynamic fracture growth.

The methods integrate well testing, water injection outflow relation performance curve and tracer test. Firstly, the log-log type curve analysis of injector well drawdown test shows the characteristic of dual porous media model with fracture. Secondly, during deliverability test, a series of injection pressure can be obtained as water injection rate changes from small to big. The relationship curve type between different injection pressure points and the injection rates can be considered as a good indicator of ater injection outflow relation performance curve. Finally, the water flow velocity, direction and path is monitored through use of tracer. Once the injection pressure is more than 6-8 MPa, the slope of the OPR curves increases obviously. The three methods evaluate the distribution and growth of the water-injection induced fractures.

The integrated methods are applied to Ansai oilfield in China, with the permeability 5 ×10-3μm2. The reservoir's mid-depth is around 1400m, and formation pressure factor about 0.8. Once the water breakthrough is indicated form field data, the water cut ratio rise sharply, which result in the invalid circulation of water flooding. To evaluate the dynamic fracture, the injector well drawdown test is carried out. Furthermore, the tracer monitoring show the water flow direction and path, which help to design infill wells. The ater injection outflow relation performance curves show that the injection pressure should be less than 6 MPa, which can control injection-induced fractures propagating into the reservoir towards the producer wells, and postpone the water breakthrough time.

This systematic technique provides a reliable method to evaluate the water injection induced fracture and control dynamic fracture growth, which is helpful for significantly improving water management strategies, potentially increasing oil recovery and reducing operational costs (invalid circulation of water and water treatment facilities reduction), thereby enhancing the project economics.

Published: October 2018

Background:

Among the protective factors for cognitive decline related to aging and Alzheimer’s
disease, education level is one of the most prominent. However, the mechanisms underlying
the protective effects of education on cognition remain to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to systematically
assess the role of Functional Connectivity (FC) of resting-state brain networks playing in the
cognition-protection effect of education.

Methods:

Data from a battery of neuropsychological tests and functional magnetic resonance imaging in
resting-state were acquired in 77 cognitively normal elderly participants from local communities in Beijing,
China. Six resting-state networks related to primary function or complex cognition were extracted
through independent component analysis. We then explored the relationships between education level,
cognition, and FC of these networks.

Results:

We found that education level was positively associated with a wide range of complex cognitive
domains including general mental status, episodic memory, language, attention, executive function
and visuospatial processing, and it showed significantly negative correlations with FC of multiple areas
in the Default Mode Network (DMN) and Left Frontal-parietal Network (LFP) which are related to
complex cognition. And regional connectivity of DMN was significantly negatively correlated with episodic
memory performance. Further mediation analysis suggested that higher education level was associated
with higher episodic memory performance through lower regional connectivity of DMN.

Conclusion:

Our findings indicate that inhibitory modulation in the resting-state brain networks related
to complex cognition is one of the main routes through which education exerts its protective effects on
cognition in normal aging.

Nowadays, hybrid drugs have gained a significant role in the treatment of different health problems. Most of the hybrid molecules with different heterocyclic moieties were proved to be potent anti-tumor agents in cancer chemotherapy. Hence, the present study is aimed at the evaluation of in vitro anticancer activity of novel hybrid molecules (pyrazolyl benzoxazole conjugates) and to investigate their anticancer activity by molecular docking studies. Designed, synthesized and characterized the novel pyrazolyl benzoxazole conjugates. Anticancer activity of these compounds was determined by SRB assay. Then molecular docking studies were carried out against proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (ATP-Src, PDB: 2BDF), a putative target for cancer. All the synthesized compound derivatives were evaluated against MCF-7, KB, Hop62 and A549 cancer cell lines. Compounds 9b and 9c exhibited excellent anticancer activities with GI50 values of <0.1 µM against MCF-7 and A549 cell lines. Compound 9e exhibited good antitumor activity on MCF-7 and A-549 with GI50 values of 0.12 µM and 0.19 µM respectively. Compound 9g showed better anticancer activity on A-549 cancer cell line with GI50 of 0.34 µM. The two-hybrid molecules 9b and 9c are found to be comparably potent with the standard drug doxorubicin and may act as drug lead compounds in medicinal chemistry aspect. The present docking investigation proved that having benzoxazole of compound 9c at the position of benzofuran of reference compound (N-acetyl pyrazoline derivative) might be valid for contributing to anti-cancer activity.

Authors: Kumari Sanju , Sharma Utkarshini , Krishna Rohit , Sinha Kanak , Kumar Santosh
Published: October 2018

Background:

Cellulolysis is of considerable economic importance in laundry detergents, textile and pulp and paper industries and in fermentation of biomass into biofuels.

Objective:

The aim was to screen cellulase producing actinobacteria from the fruit orchard because of its requirement in several chemical reactions.

Methods:

Strains of actinobacteria were isolated on Sabouraud’s agar medium. Similarities in cultural and biochemical characterization by growing the strains on ISP medium and dissimilarities among them perpetuated to recognise nine groups of actinobacteria. Cellulase activity was measured by the diameter of clear zone around colonies on CMC agar and the amount of reducing sugar liberated from carboxymethyl cellulose in the supernatant of the CMC broth. Further, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and molecular characterization were placed before NCBI for obtaining recognition with accession numbers.

Results:

Prominent clear zones on spraying Congo Red were found around the cultures of strains of three groups SK703, SK706, SK708 on CMC agar plates. The enzyme assay for carboxymethylcellulase displayed extra cellulase activity in broth: 0.14, 0.82 and 0.66 µmol mL-1 min-1, respectively at optimum conditions of 35°C, pH 7.3 and 96 h of incubation. However, the specific cellulase activities per 1 mg of protein did not differ that way. It was 1.55, 1.71 and 1.83 μmol mL-1 min-1. The growing mycelia possessed short compact chains of 10-20 conidia on aerial branches. These morphological and biochemical characteristics, followed by their verification by Bergey’s Manual, categorically allowed the strains to be placed under actinobacteria. Further, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, molecular characterization and their evolutionary relationship through phylogenetics also confirmed the putative cellulase producing isolates of SK706 and SK708 subgroups to be the strains of Streptomyces. These strains on getting NCBI recognition were christened as Streptomyces glaucescens strain SK91L (KF527284) and Streptomyces rochei strain SK78L (KF515951), respectively.

Conclusion:

Conclusive evidence on the basis of different parameters established the presence of cellulase producing actinobacteria in the litchi orchard which can convert cellulose into fermentable sugar.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BANKING EFFICIENCY IN ASEAN-5: THE DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS (DEA) APPROACH
Authors: Wahyudi Setyo Tri , Azizah Azizah
Published: October 2018

As an intermediary institution, a bank is required to operate efficiently due to the increased competition among banks, both domestic and international. However, not all banks are able to optimize their owned resources to reach a certain efficiency level. Thus, efficiency plays an important role in this era of more globalized banking competiti on. The objective of this study is to calculate the banking efficiency score for the ASEAN-5 countries, consisting of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the input variables comprised of employees’ benefits, fixed assets, and deposits; while the output variables were total income and loans. The results show the relatively high efficiency levels of every bank in each country. The achievement of an input-output efficiency variable in the first period (2006-2009) tended to increase, but the second period (2010-2013) showed a declining trend. The performance of the banks in Singapore during the first period was very good, while in the second period, the banks in the Philippines showed a respectable performance.

Published: October 2018

A exposição humana a agrotóxicos pode causar intoxicações agudas e crônicas com diversas implicações no processo saúde-doença dos indivíduos; dentre os efeitos da exposição crônica aos agrotóxicos encontram-se as neoplasias malignas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos trabalhadores com câncer em tratamento em um centro de oncologia. Participaram do estudo 83 pacientes com câncer divididos em dois grupos. Um constituído por 36 trabalhadores rurais expostos a agrotóxicos e outro por 47 participantes de outras profissões. Foi realizada entrevista com instrumento estruturado que abordou características clínico-epidemiológicas, ambientais e de morbidade. Realizou-se análise estatística descritiva e aplicou-se teste de Mann-Whitney. Os resultados indicam maioria de participantes do sexo masculino com predominância de neoplasias do sistema hematológico e câncer de próstata, evidenciando um perfil de adoecimento por câncer diferenciado das estimativas para o Brasil e região nordeste. Nos trabalhadores rurais, foram identificadas vulnerabilidades durante a exposição ocupacional como baixa escolaridade, longo tempo de exposição e descarte incorreto das embalagens vazias. Concluiu-se que o perfil de adoecimento dos trabalhadores rurais pode estar relacionado ao modo de produção agrário vigente na região, associado às vulnerabilidades durante a exposição ocupacional. A alta prevalência de câncer do sistema hematológico nos participantes não diretamente expostos a agrotóxicos pode sugerir a importância da exposição indireta a esses compostos.

Authors: Canales-Aguirre Cristian B. , Herrera-Yáñez Victoria , Ferrada-Fuentes Sandra , Galleguillos Ricardo
Published: October 2018

Species that occur in low abundances and that are morphologically similar to the target fish are often undetectable in fisheries hauls; however, they add to the catch statistics of the target species. Using mitochondrial DNA and phylogenetic approaches we identified 6 individuals of the species Xenobrama microlepis in a haul targeting the southern Ray’s bream (Brama australis) taken by artisanal fishermen close to Chilean coast. The presence of X. microlepis increases the regional marine biodiversity of fishes in Chilean waters, and fisheries managers should pay attention to the hidden biodiversity in the fishery statistics.

El besugo, Epigonus crassicaudus, es una especie de importancia económica para la actividad pesquera que opera en el centro-sur de Chile. A pesar de ello, poco es lo que se conoce respecto a su biología. En este sentido, este trabajo estudió los hábitos alimentarios combinando análisis estomacales y de estabilidad isotópica. Los resultados del análisis dan cuenta de la importancia de los peces mesopelágicos (Myctophidae, Stomiidae) en la dieta con un aporte del 80%, seguido por crustáceos (Sergestes arcticus) alcanzando un 10%. No se detectaron diferencias en la dieta en peces con distinto grado de madurez sexual. En tanto, los valores de los isótopos de nitrógeno y carbono mostraron valores de promedio de 17,12 ± 1,1 δ 15N y de -17,51 ± 0,7 δ 13C, respectivamente. La constitución de valores de δ 13C fue proporcional al tamaño corporal de los besugos: individuos de mayor tamaño habitan en ambientes más demersales que ejemplares de menor tamaño. De acuerdo a estos resultados, el besugo  se sitúa como consumidor secundario.

Currently, Indonesian people interest in pilgrimage is higher. The dense number of Umrah pilgrims may be at risk of transmission of the disease especially from endemic areas such as meningitis. Since 2002, the Saudi Arabian government has issued a policy requiring meningitis vaccination in both pilgrims and umrah, but there is still little problem in the provision of MM vaccination for Umrah pilgrims. This paper aims to determine the implementation of meningitis vaccination services for Umrah pilgrims in Indonesia. Data collection was done by indepth interview and focus group discussion to stakeholders related to the implementation of Umrah health service and supported by secondary data. The research was conducted at KKP Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten. Implementation of the Meningococcus ACYW-135 meningitis vaccine should be carried out at the designated Port Health Office (KKP) or Government Hospital, vaccination is done at least 1 month before the scheduled departure time. KKP is an institution that has the authority to issue International Certificate Vaccination (ICV) as a condition of issuance of Umrah visa from Saudi Arabia. But in the field there are many fraudulent ICV publishing done by some irresponsible umrah travels.

ABSTRAK

Saat ini, minat masyarakat terhadap ibadah umrah semakin tinggi. Padatnya jumlah Jemaah umrah dapat berisiko terjadinya penularan penyakit terutama yang berasal dari daerah endemis seperti meningitis. Sejak tahun 2002, pemerintah Arab Saudi mengeluarkan kebijakan yang Mewajibkan vaksinasi meningitis pada Jemaah haji maupun umrah, namun masih ditemukan adanya sedikit masalah dalam pemberian vaksinasi Meningitis Meningococcus untuk Jemaah umrah. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan pelayanan vaksinasi meningitis bagi Jemaah umrah di Indonesia. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan indepth interview dan focus group discussion kepada stakeholder terkait pelaksanaan pelayanan kesehatan umrah serta didukung oleh data sekunder. Penelitian dilakukan di KKP bandara Soekarno-Hatta, Tangerang, Banten. Pelaksanaan penyuntikan vaksin Meningitis Meningococcus ACYW-135 wajib dilaksanakan di Kantor Kesehatan Pelabuhan (KKP) atau Rumah Sakit Pemerintah yang telah ditunjuk, vaksinasi dilakukan minimal 1 bulan sebelum jadwal keberangkatan. KKP merupakan institusi yang mempunyai kewenangan menerbitkan International Certificate Vaccination (ICV) sebagai syarat penerbitan visa umrah dari Arab Saudi. Namun di lapangan banyak ditemukan penerbitan ICV palsu yang dilakukan oleh beberapa travel umrah yang tidak bertanggung jawab.
KAJIAN KEBERLANGSUNGAN RUMAH TUNGGU KELAHIRAN (RTK) DALAM UPAYA MENURUNKAN ANGKA KEMATIAN MATERNAL DI INDONESIA

Published: October 2018

Maternal Mortality Rate in Indonesia is still the highest compared to other ASEAN countries and faces a gap in access to health services. It needs a waiting house that is close to health service facility and can be temporarily occupied by pregnant mother before delivery which is Maternal Waiting Homes (MWH). This analysis to know aspects that can maintain the continuity of RTK services. This study uses secondary data by listing the policy and regulatory documents related to RTK policy and by organizing several workshops to gain a view of policy makers. The results show that the MWH fi nancing system is still local and not well coordinated. The number of health workers who provide services in MWH is still limited. Likewise, MWH facilities and facilities are still inadequate, in particular, water and electricity problems, as well as a place for families accompanying maternity mothers. Most MWH s only provide facilities for living without maternal and neonatal care services. Several efforts have been made by the local government in encouraging the utilization of MWH in pregnant women among others by involving customary institutions and the use of communication technology for early emergency detection of pregnant women. MWH sustainability can be built with the full support of local government, socialization and synergies with related sectors.

Abstrak

Angka Kematian Ibu di Indonesia tertinggi dibandingkan negara-negara ASEAN lain dan menghadapikesenjangan akses pelayanan kesehatan. Rumah tempat menunggu yang dekat dengan fasilitas pelayanankesehatan dan dapat dihuni sementara oleh ibu hamil sebelum persalinan yaitu Rumah Tunggu Kelahiran(RTK) merupakan salah satu alternatif solusi. Analisis dilakukan untuk mengetahui aspek yang dapat menjagakeberlangsungan layanan RTK. Kajian ini menggunakan data sekunder dengan cara menginventarisir dokumenkebijakan dan peraturan perundangan yang terkait dengan kebijakan RTK serta dengan mengadakan beberapaworkhop untuk memperoleh sudut pandang para penentu kebijakan. Hasil menunjukkan sistem pembiayaanRTK masih bersifat lokal dan belum terkoordinasi dengan baik. Jumlah tenaga kesehatan yang memberikanpelayanan di RTK masih terbatas. Demikian juga fasilitas dan sarana RTK masih belum memadai, terutama,masalah air dan listrik, serta tempat untuk keluarga yang mendampingi ibu bersalin. Sebagian besar RTKhanya menyediakan fasilitas untuk tinggal tanpa pelayanan perawatan kesehatan ibu dan bayi. Beberapaupaya telah dilakukan pemerintah lokal dalam mendorong pemanfaatan RTK pada ibu hamil di antaranyadengan melibatkan lembaga adat dan penggunaan teknologi komunikasi untuk deteksi darurat dini bumil risti.Keberlangsungan RTK dapat dibangun dengan dukungan penuh pemerintah daerah, sosialisasi dan bersinergidengan lintas sektor terkait.
Limitations of the concept of state-building: The case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Lazic Vuk
Published: October 2018

The paper discusses the dynamics of state-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
with the focus on the analysis of the structural disadvantages of the concept
and its implementation in the post-conflict environment. The case of Bosnia
and Herzegovina represents a research case within this area study because it
is a heterogeneous and divided society, with complicated historical and
ongoing relations between local political actors, the complex structure of
the political system, and the increasingly contested role of the
international factor in the statebuilding process. The analysis of the local
political dynamics established during the state-building process clearly
shows the conflict between the international and local actors. The
performance of the High Representative as the most important international
actor in the state-building process has caused the increasing resistance of
local political actors to the implementation of the state building. The
author emphasizes that the legitimacy deficit and the lack of accountability
of the international community, the domination of the authoritarian mode of
governance, and the insistence on an integrative strategy that neglects the
positions, interests and motives of local actors are the major causes of the
failure of the international community project. Since Bosnia and Herzegovina
still heavily depends on the international actors, the failure of the
state-building process would have far-reaching negative consequences for the
political stability and the future of the state.
