The watershed of the Beht River occupies the southwest part of the Sebou watershed with an area of 4,603.77 km2. It starts in the Causse of Middle Atlas, drains the northern edge of central Morocco and ends in the rifan south wrinkles at the level of dam El Kansera. The geographical information system (GIS) and ASTER images with a resolution of 30m have been of great use for creating thematic maps and automatic extraction of a multitude of parameters and physiographic indices of this watershed. These parameters, very characteristic, allow to assess the weight of the geomorphology on surface water flow and the influence of the latter by the risk of erosion and of flooding which have a very negative consequences on human and material plan, at the level of the studied watershed.
Proposition D’un Instrument De Mesure De La Qualité De Service Perçue Par Les Usagers Des Administrations Publiques Marocaines
Authors: Hanana Ellamrani Ben , Houfaidi Souad
Published: November 2016

The objective of this article is to describe the development of a measurement scale to assess user perceptions in Moroccan public administrations about the quality of service. The measures were built from a survey of 302 users in the Casablanca-Settat region. The methodology is based on the steps recommended by the paradigm of Churchill (1979). Our contribution focuses on the exploratory phase of development of the ladder allowing the emergence of a factor structure of the theoretical variable quality. After presenting the conceptualization of this construct, the article describes the procedures used to construct a multi-item measure of this concept scale. He then states, from analysis of empirical data, the scale of properties in terms of factor structure and reliability. The results thus show a factorial structure of the quality of service perceived by the users of four components with a total variance explained 69.53%. Only the first component: Justice and equal treatment restores 43% of the total variance. The analysis of the reliability of the scales of the principal components shows that the items of each scale are correlated and coherent with each other with reliability indices varying between 0,77 and 0,89. It is the same for the reliability of the total scale of which Cronbach's alpha was 0,9.

Authors: Stallinga Peter , Khmelinskii Igor
Published: November 2016

Society is living in fear of catastrophic climate scenarios, the so called Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory. It is a multidisciplinary subject; this paper analyzes the psychology behind such thinking which is governing the perception and politics of the subject. It does this in so-called Game Theory decision tables for people's thinking. We come to the conclusion that current opinion in society will shift from 'active believer' to 'passive believer' to 'active non-believer' if evidence against AGW will continue to accumulate.

Published: November 2016

This work focuses on the physical, chemical and metal characterization of the estuary waters of Oued Sebou during a long period of sand dredging. To do this, several physicochemical parameters were evaluated during periods 2007 and 2014-2016. The results showed that this estuary has a significant degree of pollution. The source of this pollution is diverse: urban waste, industrial waste, agricultural activities. This pollution is accentuated by the action of repeated dredging that increases the turbidity and the suspended solids content which covers the seabed during immersions that are covering the sediment and disturbs the physicochemical equilibrium of the estuary. So, indirectly this operation of dredging influences the parameters that are related to the amount and quality of materials suspended such as the dissolved oxygen content and orthophosphates and the brightness level in the water and over up the sediment.Indeed, for the majority of the physicochemical parameters assessed, the water of the estuary was belonging to a middle class, poor class or very poor class. Thus, the operation of dredging should consider the ecological balance of the coastal zone. Note also that the contents of assessed heavy metals are not worrisome. However, their risks might be amplified by the dredging operations.

Palm oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the pulp of the palm oil fruit. It comes in crude or refined form. It is an oil which caused controversy due to lack of enough information on its use. Our study has shown that moderate consumption of palm oil, that do not exceed 15% of food content, over 28 days does not cause a significant increase in body mass in young rats. Similarly, the lack of significance in the indices of food intake, digestibility, protein efficiency and energy balance, among control and experimental groups of the rats confirmed that palm oil is good for nutrition when its consumption is moderate. However, our study showed that moderate consumption of palm oil does not affect the total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels in young. While, moderate consumption of crude palm showed a significant increase in triglyceride rates but refined palm oil does not increase significantly triglyceride rates. Finally, our study showed that moderate consumption of palm oil does not cause a massive accumulation of the oil in the liver. This leads to say that palm oil is not the matter, but the way of consuming palm oil that could be a risk of metabolic syndromes.

Knowledge Competitiveness between Individuals and Organizations-Gift of Information Technology
Authors:   MBA IT,Dr. Dy. Patil University,Department of IT And Management Navi Mumbai, India, Mr Pushpendu Rakshit
Published: November 2016

Information technology may play the role of a jealous mistress when it comes to the relationship between individual and organizational knowledge creation. Information technology can facilitate the dissemination of knowledge across the organization even to the point of making virtual groups a viable alternative to face to face work. However, unless managed, the combination of information technology and virtual work may serve to change the distribution of tacit versus explicit knowledge within the organization. While greater access to explicit knowledge may be of short term benefit to the organization, the long term effect could be a marginalization of individually held knowledge, and perhaps, less overall knowledge creation in extreme cases. This paper advances theory and informs practice by illustrating the relationships between individual and organizational knowledge across the range of contexts enabled by information technologies.

The Talent Gap in the E&P Industry: Causes and Recommended Solutions
Authors: Al-Khalifa Mohammad A.
Published: November 2016

The talent gap in the E&P industry is an ongoing issue that is expected to persist due to attrition in the current workforce and the increasing percentage of junior employees. As result of this, there is not enough overlap between the two generations to pass knowledge and experience; therefore, knowledge and experience may be lost. Under the new oil and gas business realities of highly volatile prices and increased operating costs, the national oil companies (NOCs) require a workforce that has a new way of thinking to overcome current challenges and unpredictable market conditions. Effectively and efficiently resolving the talent gap should lead to greater productivity by increasing production and decreasing operating costs.

This paper traces the origins of the talent gap and the events that led to current shortages. The proposed strategy for NOCs to resolve the talent gap has four main pillars: accelerating junior employees' development, leveraging the experience of senior staff, a structured knowledge sharing system, and new methods for filling current talent vacancies. Each of these pillars is discussed in detail and corrective action items are proposed. The successful adaptation and implementation of this strategy should ensure E&P companies' business continuity and will ultimately help in knowledge preservation within large NOCs.
Debottlenecking of Oil and Gas Separation Units to Enhance Oil Production Capacity: A Case Study of Kuwait Oil Company

Published: November 2016

Objective / Scope

The oil and gas processing facility was upgraded as part of the project. However, it has been experienced that separation capacity of facility was reduced post installation of new separator under upgradation project. The main objective of this in-house debottlenecking study was to identify contributing factors for reduction in separator handling capacity and carry out required modifications to eliminate these factors.

Methods, Procedures, Process

This paper shares detail of complete technical study conducted to identify factors affecting capacity of oil and gas separator. This case study includes hydraulic calculations, simulation study and other relevant design calculations. Various design cases were developed to identify and resolve factors affecting separator capacity. The most appropriate solution is selected based on hydraulic calculation and simulation results.

Results, Observations, Conclusions

It has been concluded that main reason for such limitation in liquid handling capacity of separator was higher elevation of new oil and gas separator installed under project. This piping configuration was creating higher backpressure on exiting wet crude header due to the fact that both these piping were joined together in a common header feeding downstream wet/dual crude oil tanks. So, it was decided to install a new 20″ piping directly from new separator to dual crude oil tank reducing liquid handling load on existing header feeding tank and thereby reducing backpressure on new & old oil and gas separators. This has increased overall capacity of oil processing facility by around 30 MBLPD.

Novel/Additive Information

This paper explains in detail a lesson learned, which is vital for any brown field project, where such upgradation by major projects may lead to adverse impact on operation of existing facility. It also explains systematic approach to eliminate such bottlenecks, which possibly arise from inappropriate integration of new equipment with existing equipment during project implementation.
Recommended Application Guideline for Deconvolution and its Field Application Example
Authors: Nomura Masahiko
Published: November 2016

Deconvolution is a technique for converting the pressure and rate data obtained from a well operating under variable rate conditions into a much simpler form of constant rate drawdown-pressure response function. A variety of deconvolution algorithms have been proposed in the literature and several improvements have been demonstrated by the authors1-4. Our deconvolution algorithm introduced in reference 1 is similar to the work of von Schroeter et al.2 and Levitan et al.3, except that high-order derivative constraint is imposed as one additional constraint to the solution. This paper investigates an application procedure of deconvolution algorithm through extensive numerical experiments rather than algorithmic improvement. One application procedure is proposed and the practical utility is demonstrated through application to synthetic and actual field data sets.
