An Experimental and Numerical Approach for the Best Enhanced Oil Recovery Strategy in Capillary-Dominant Reservoirs
Authors: Alabdulghani Ahmad , Hoteit Hussein
Published: March 2022

Working with naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) can be challenging. Inadequate understanding of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) driving forces in these reservoirs may result in serious conformance issues due to excessive water production. As a result, this work investigates and numerically validates some fundamental flow mechanisms in heterogeneous reservoirs, particularly capillary-dominant ones, to highlight the best EOR strategy for this specific case.

Consequently, a two-dimensional lab-scale reservoir model with injection and production ports was designed, fabricated, and tested in single-phase and two-phase flow scenarios, simulating a water-wet fractured system. First, a single-phase flow waterflood baseline was studied, compared to the literature, verified by commercial reservoir simulation software, and eventually considered to calibrate the porosity and permeability model in the simulation model where the controlling variables are limited. Based on this work, the same procedures were experimentally repeated and verified by simulation, where waterflooding and polymer injection were used to displace oil with more governing variables.

The single-phase scenarios aided in distinguishing between the waterflood and polymer flood cases. Water prefers to channel through high permeable streaks when injected into a fractured water-wet reservoir, resulting in poor volumetric sweep and significant bypassed zones. Whereas the controlling variables in two-phase flow were increased, capillarity and mobility ratio were dominant in the simulation. During waterflooding, flow divergence was observed faster toward the matrix medium, overriding the high permeability front in the fracture due to the strong capillarity contrast between the matrix and fracture media. Even when capillarity is strongly present, polymer flooding demonstrated a better volumetric sweep in all scenarios.

The unique demonstration of fluid flow inside the two-dimensional lab-scale reservoir model, as well as numerical simulation, shed light on the efficacy of these EOR strategies in fractured reservoirs. Furthermore, for the first time, the behavior of capillary-dominant reservoirs with an advancing flow path within smaller pores compared to larger ones within the reservoir media has been experimentally captured. Understanding reservoir characteristics and having the know-how to implement the best recovery scenario can, in fact, maximize the field's life cycle and increase the Recovery Factor (RF).

Central Luconia has been explored with hundreds of well since the 1950s. During that time, all offshore wells were drilled using hyperbolic positioning system which has lower accuracy compare to current satellite positioning system, which was only introduced in early 1990s. With this knowledge, the old exploration well's locations (which was drilled in 1970s) pose potential hazards in terms of seabed obstruction and potential well collision during the future development wells drilling. Without a reliable seismic to well tie, interpreter has difficulty in identifying the top of carbonate event for depth conversion, thus impacting the well delivery, static model building and subsurface reserves estimation.

Onsite verification was carried out using a multibeam echosounder (MBES), a Side Scan Sonar (SSS), and a Sub Bottom Profiler (SBP) in accordance with standard site survey procedures, but the existing wellhead location was unable to be detected because the wells had been abandoned and cut off at the seabed level. Magnetometer was deployed to further investigate the existing wellhead location; the sensor was towed approximately about three (3) times water depth from the stern of the vessel and altitude 10m from the seabed. To navigate the towed sensor, Ultra Short Baseline (USBL) transponder was attached close to the sensor to get real time underwater positioning. Five (5) survey lines were designed centered at the suspected existing wellhead location with the coverage of 60m radius. During data acquisition, the magnetic anomalies were recorded in the system via receiver and total magnetic data was used for further analysis to derive the as-found wellhead location. During the interpretation, the area of ambient magnetic field distortion was identified and marked as anomaly which represents "area of suspected wellhead". The magnitude and pattern of such distortion was used for interpretation and combined with the coordinates from the positioning system (surface and underwater) onboard the survey vessel.

The general total magnetic field reading is ranging between 40920nT and 41130nT with the magnetic anomaly/wellhead had magnetic value from 100nT to 115nT. The total magnetic field analytical signal value is ranging from 0 to 3.5. The target magnetic anomaly refers to the area with greatest analytical signal value where it is also the area with most drastic change of the total magnetic field. From the survey results, the as-found wellhead position varies from 48m - 53m compared to existing wellhead position. With the confirmation on the old wellhead location, this helps to derisk the well collisions study for future development well and also improves the seismic to well tie analysis to provide higher confidence in the Top Carbonate pick and a better inverted seismic match in the reservoir interval for properties distribution.

Accessing behind casing opportunities plays a key role in ensuring that production targets are achieved in the PETRONAS operated fields in Malaysian basin. This is however getting more challenging as these fields comprising mostly of stacked clastic reservoirs get matured. This paper provides a comprehensive review of all thru tubing perforation jobs done over last two years in PETRONAS operated fields in the region with focus on failure reasons and future mitigation measures to ensure higher rate of success.

As a part of this study, all the historical thru tubing perforation jobs done to access behind casing opportunities over last 2 years across more than 22 producing fields in the region with PETRONAS as the operator were analyzed in detail. These jobs were then studied with respect to the main factors which impacts overall job success or failure. These included but was not limited to fluid contacts, gun, and charge type, nearby well performance, zone saturation data availability, completion type, contractor performance etc. In addition, post job details like sand production, artificial lift performance which contributed to well behavior post perforation were also evaluated. Exhaustive gun perforation and well model simulations were conducted to model post perforation well performance. Actual data with distribution and impact of the above-mentioned parameters will be discussed at length in the paper. Key findings which contribute to the overall successful thru tubing perforation jobs and lessons learnt for future perforation jobs will be presented in the paper.

Based on the comprehensive review and in-depth analysis, the operator has gained great visibility on key focus areas for thru tubing perforation jobs to increase success rate for completing the behind casing opportunities. Results specially re-iterate the importance of saturation data, gun selection and sand control among other parameters for successful thru tubing perforation jobs in matured stacked reservoirs. The study also indicate why these parameters are even more important for multiple tubular perforations such as cement packers, complex dual string completions, multiple tubular perforation etc. Based on the findings from the study, the paper will recommend key points to consider while completing behind casing opportunities in challenging environment.

While a lot of literature and study is available on perforations in general, the author could not find any noticeable work which is based on large amount of actual field data on how to improve thru tubing perforation jobs in matured stacked reservoirs in complex completions. This paper aims to help operators improve on the existing practices to ensure better and more successful results while completing behind casing opportunities using thru tubing perforations.

Published: March 2022

Deepwater fields are well known for their complex turbidite heterogeneity. J field, which has a water depth of 1600-1800 meters, is a distal deepwater turbidite fan located within a high compressional area, resulted in highly faulted structures. All wells drilled in the J field penetrated thin-bedded sand-shale reservoirs (average 30-80 cm) which are below current available tools’ resolution. This has directly impacted the accuracy of reservoirs properties interpretation and characterization.

Additionally, based on the acquired pressure data from past appraisal campaigns, the field is proven to be laterally and vertically compartmentalized. However, reservoir connectivity and producibility away from those appraisal wells remains uncertain and challenging to be identified, due to the legacy 3D seismic image quality, limitation in data resolutions, and limited regional data.

This paper will briefly address the challenges of deepwater distal turbidites understanding while proposing a holistic workflow with the integration of 3D seismic and well data to enhance thin-bed interpretation and complex compartmentalization prediction.
Novel Microemulsion Breaker System Remove Drill-in-Fluids Filter Cake and Remediate Near Wellbore Damage to Enhance Productivity of Horizontal Wells of Offshore Sabah, Malaysia
Authors: Jaffar Nurul Amyra , Luan Nan , Arisandi Edo
Published: March 2022

In a case study of four wells located in offshore Sabah Malaysia, a field application using microemulsion technology to develop a customized in-situ breaker solution enhanced production rate by removing oil-based mud (OBM) and synthetic based mud (SBM) filter cake and remediating near-wellbore damage. All wells were completed as open–hole horizontal wells. Key challenges of the field are the multiple sand layers interbedded with intra-reservoir shale intervals necessitating a complex well trajectory and an operational preference for drilling with SBM drill-in fluid (SBM DIF). Lower than expected production rates were associated a water-impermeable SBM DIF filter cake and solids residue resulting from a conventional breaker system being unable to fully remove emulsion damage and effectively disrupt the filtercake.

A series of laboratory tests for return permeability using formation cores from the offset wells and ceramic discs were completed as part of a feasibility study prior to field trials of the new microemulsion breaker system - a customized formulation consisting of a proprietary surfactant blend, organic acid, corrosion inhibitor and brine designed to remove the damage caused by the SBM DIF and restore open-hole flow conditions. The new breaker system has ultra-low interfacial tension which, when pumped into the open-hole section and allowed to soak for a sufficient period of time, diffuses into the rock matrix and forms an in-situ microemulsion completely and uniformly cleaning the near wellbore environment of SBM DIF residue, dispersing solids and leaving all surfaces water-wet.

Laboratory results described in this paper show that the customized microemulsion breaker has the capability to remove SBM DIF filter cake, remediate emulsion damage caused by SBM-DIF, and restores the rock matrix back to its original permeability and predrilled state. All four wells in this field application have exceeded their expected production rate. The customized microemulsion breaker is the major contributing factor.

IL-22 is a multifaceted cytokine with both pro- and anti-inflammatory functions that is implicated in multiple pathologies. However, the role of IL-22 in maternal-fetal immunity in late gestation is poorly understood. In this study, we first showed that IL-22+ T cells coexpressing retinoic acid–related orphan receptor γt (ROR-γt) are enriched at the human maternal-fetal interface of women with preterm labor and birth, which was confirmed by in silico analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data. T cell activation leading to preterm birth in mice was preceded by a surge in IL-22 in the maternal circulation and amniotic cavity; however, systemic administration of IL-22 in mice did not induce adverse perinatal outcomes. Next, using an ex vivo human system, we showed that IL-22 can cross from the choriodecidua to the intra-amniotic space, where its receptors (Il22ra1, Il10rb, and Il22ra2) are highly expressed by murine gestational and fetal tissues in late pregnancy. Importantly, amniotic fluid concentrations of IL-22 were elevated in women with sterile or microbial intra-amniotic inflammation, suggesting a dual role for this cytokine. The intra-amniotic administration of IL-22 alone shortened gestation and caused neonatal death in mice, with the latter outcome involving lung maturation and inflammation. IL-22 plays a role in host response by participating in the intra-amniotic inflammatory milieu preceding Ureaplasma parvum–induced preterm birth in mice, which was rescued by the deficiency of IL-22. Collectively, these data show that IL-22 alone is capable of causing fetal injury leading to neonatal death and can participate in host defense against microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity leading to preterm labor and birth.

Published: March 2022

Accurate prioritization of immunogenic neoantigens is key to developing personalized cancer vaccines and distinguishing those patients likely to respond to immune checkpoint inhibition. However, there is no consensus regarding which characteristics best predict neoantigen immunogenicity, and no model to date has both high sensitivity and specificity and a significant association with survival in response to immunotherapy. We address these challenges in the prioritization of immunogenic neoantigens by (1) identifying which neoantigen characteristics best predict immunogenicity; (2) integrating these characteristics into an immunogenicity score, the NeoScore; and (3) demonstrating a significant association of the NeoScore with survival in response to immune checkpoint inhibition. One thousand random and evenly split combinations of immunogenic and nonimmunogenic neoantigens from a validated dataset were analyzed using a regularized regression model for characteristic selection. The selected characteristics, the dissociation constant and binding stability of the neoantigen:MHC class I complex and expression of the mutated gene in the tumor, were integrated into the NeoScore. A web application is provided for calculation of the NeoScore. The NeoScore results in improved, or equivalent, performance in four test datasets as measured by sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operator characteristics curve compared with previous models. Among cutaneous melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibition, a high maximum NeoScore was associated with improved survival. Overall, the NeoScore has the potential to improve neoantigen prioritization for the development of personalized vaccines and contribute to the determination of which patients are likely to respond to immunotherapy.
Acoustic Analysis and Sound Quality Assessment of a Quiet Helicopter for Air Taxi Operations
Authors: Kevin Li Sicheng , Lee Seongkyu
Published: March 2022

This paper investigates tonal and broadband noise for rotor designs used on urban air mobility vehicles. Quiet helicopter rotor designs with varying tip speeds and blade numbers are studied for the tonal and broadband noise at the same mission specification. The rotor aerodynamics in
edge-wise forward flight are calculated using the blade element theory coupled with a dynamic inflow model and the moment-balance trim analysis. Loading noise and thickness noise are obtained using the lifting-line loading distribution and the dual-compact thickness noise model in PSU-WOPWOP.
With the forward flight capability developed in UCD-QuietFly, broadband noise, including trailing-edge noise, trailing-edge bluntness noise, and airfoil stall noise, is predicted. Psychoacoustic metrics, such as fluctuation and roughness, are used to quantify the human subjective annoyance
levels. The relative importance between tonal noise and broadband noise is investigated for various design cases and operating conditions. It is found that broadband noise is the dominant noise source for the rotor designs with low tip speeds and fewer blades, while tonal noise is dominant
for the high-tip-speed designs. A low tip speed and more blades are found to be the preferable design features in terms of psychoacoustic metrics.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lower airways, characterize by wheezing cough, chest tightness along with inflammation of airway and shortness of breath. Allergens like environmental substance are predispose asthmatics patients to allergy. Mast cells produced interleukin (IL)- 4 which either activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT-6) pathway that involved in differentiation of na ve T-cells to TH2 or activation of TH2 cells indirectly. The aim of the current context is to present role of IL-4 in asthma and effect as antagonist. IL-4 results in increased mucus production and involve in IgE synthesis from B cells. IL4 facilitate chemotaxis and aid in displaying of VCAM-1 which attract eosinophil basophils monocytes T-lymphocytes to blood vessel. IL4 inhibit apoptosis either by preventing decrease in BCL-2 level or binding of FasL to Fas (cd32) receptor which result in acute allergic response. Elevated level of IL-4 has greatly adverse impact on asthmatic patients so by decreasing the level of IL-4 will greatly reduce asthma phenotype.

Fasting versus postprandial state
Authors: Futela Dheeman , Maheswari K. , Khanna Tejasvini
Published: March 2022

Context:

Thyroid dysfunctions are common health problems worldwide. Thyroid function tests (TFTs) are the mainstay of diagnosis. A common question by labs and clinicians is whether food intake makes a clinically significant difference for TFTs.

Aims:

We aimed to assess the effect of fasting and postprandial state on thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3, and free T4.

Settings and Design:

A cross-sectional study was conducted. Sixty patients were prospectively selected.

Subjects and Methods:

Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (known case of thyroid disorder and on medication) and Group B (no prior history of thyroid dysfunction). Two blood samples were collected from each patient, before and after breakfast, with a gap of 2 h. Serum samples were analyzed for TSH, free T3, and free T4.

Results:

Mean (± standard deviation) TSH values (mIU/L) in fasting state were 2.38 ± 1.88 and in postprandial state were 2.08 ± 1.65. A statistically significant postprandial decline was observed in TSH values (mean difference: -0.30 mIU/L) and free T3 (mean difference: –0.21 pmol/L), in both groups.

Conclusions:

TFT results were altered in a statistically significant manner after food intake. Multiple studies have reported a similar postprandial decline in serum TSH. This may impact the diagnosis and management of thyroid patients, especially where minor changes in TSH levels are clinically relevant.

A Case Study of Developing and Running a Competency－Based General Education Class
Authors: Shin Younghun , Lee Jee-Young
Published: March 2022

This study aims to depict the process of developing and running a liberal arts course titled “Life and Dream.” This course was developed to guide the self-awareness of freshman students, along with their career paths, in accordance with the introduction of the “track system,” wherein students are instructed to choose two tracks (also known as sub-disciplines) as their majors with minimal restrictions. However, due to the absence of common textbooks, various complaints were raised about the large deviation between classes and the uncertainty of the class objectives. In the process of resolving these complaints, remarkable improvements were made in many ways. For one thing, Life and Dream has been developed and utilized as a regular textbook. In addition, as various performance activities related to the textbook were carried out in class, the homogeneity of the class was greatly improved. The effects of these improvements can be proved through analysis of the results of two types of surveys conducted at the end of the semester. In a questionnaire asking the students how much the “Life and Dream” class contributed to the improvement of the core competencies targeted, most students responded that their target competencies, that is, their self-management and interpersonal skills, were improved. They also answered that they were able to find their own identities and to effectively collaborate with others through this class, and that it helped them to better design their careers paths, all of which are exactly consistent with the goals of this course.

This research explores the possibilities and limitations of character education through analyzing the ways in which students experience a service learning course in higher education. Drawing on a set of data collected from running the ‘Freedom Project’, and through conducting semi-structured interviews with 11 students who have taken this course, we found that students were oscillating between the ideal world that the course presents and emphasizes through its curriculum and the real world, wherein competition and survival are the dominant values. Although students were fragmented and sensitive to grades given in the university environment, they actively explored diverse social problems to which they tried to find solutions. Moreover, they were able to obtain various competencies that character education aims to cultivate through the process of completing their project. However, some students distanced themselves from the values the course attempted to pursue, in response to neoliberal requirements.
Music General Education for Cultural Diversity－Focusing on American Music Historiography
Authors: Kim Soojin
Published: March 2022

Music is considered as one of the most effective mediums to enhance cultural diversity. As Korea becomes a more multicultural society, many scholarly works have been examining concepts and theories regarding multiculturalism and cultural diversity. Moreover, an increasing number of scholarly works pertaining to music have been written which aim to teach cultural diversity to students intent on becoming world citizens. Previous works have focused on music curriculum development, comparative studies of multiculturalism in the US and Australia, comparative studies of music textbooks, and the limits of the concept of multiculturalism. However, those studies encompass other types of music which exclude music based on western music idioms. Thus, this study aims to investigate the case of multiculturalism and to examine multicuturalism as it appears in music from the US. To do so, this study focuses on one of the textbooks written by Richard Crawford and Larry Hamberlin that is widely used in America. The research positions this textbook as a turning point in the changing of American music historiography and shows how the coverage of American music history has broadened from classical music to other diverse musical genres. Furthermore, this study will not only analyze the perspective of certain scholars, but will also examine the sort of musical diversity that has been accepted in American music historiography. Finally, this article will shed light on the new way to understand multiculturalism from a different angle.

In recent years, the living conditions of territorial communities in Ukraine promote the integration of organizations and enterprises in various fields. The cluster is a group of localized interdependent companies, equipment suppliers, components, specialized services, infrastructure, research institutes, universities and other organizations that complement and enhance each other's competitive advantages. Current common problems that hinder the normal functioning of local communities are: utilities and energy efficiency, investment climate and investment, public safety, problems of access to administrative services, communication problems between the leadership of the local community and local population, environmental issues. Based on the results of the study of the internal environment of the united territorial community, the benefits of cluster approach and the benefits that can provide a multisourcing model, it is determined that the main problems that hinder the normal functioning of modern communities can be solved by forming a logistics cluster. The logistics cluster will allow to fully implement the multisourcing model of ensuring the livelihood of the local community. Such model of decision-making on the rational choice of source of supply from several alternatives will: improve the quality of supply management of goods / services; reduce the logistics cycle; reduce supply costs; increase the reliability of supplies, etc. Thus, the formation of a logistics cluster at the level of ensuring the livelihood of the territorial community helps to strengthen the competitiveness of each of the participants. The main participants of the cluster are: production and logistics companies located in the most important centers of intersection and origin of goods and goods, directly involved in the process of providing services.
REVISITING TAGORE: AN ICONOCLAST WITH A VOICE AGAINST SOCIAL BIGOTRIES THROUGH METAPHYSICAL CONCEPTS
Authors: Sattar Shaila Binte
Published: March 2022

Tagore is a name that does not welcome any introduction. His pieces have been explored and interpreted with versatility, diversity, and, to some extent, brutality. This paper analyses select Tagorean strokes in Gitanjali (1910) to find the voices against social dogmatism as felt by the poet. Relating to contemporary society, it can be viewed that Tagore was ahead of time in foreseeing the significance of a bigotry-free system where life and humans are rejoiced upon subduing class struggle, presumption, and discrimination. This study addresses these problematic facets of human society with close attention towards Tagorean philosophy and evaluation of institutionalised beliefs. It also assesses his use of metaphysics in establishing the power of communal harmony and coherence where every individual is equal.

Ruthless Desires of Living Together in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666: Conviviality between Potestas and Potentia
Authors: Estrada Jorge
Published: March 2022

A desire to live together is perhaps a key idea in Roberto Bolaño’s narratives. His characters are constantly negotiating their involvement in diverse societies amid the historical catastrophes of the twentieth century, so this desire becomes highly differentiated. It undergoes perspectival shifts and creates “mirror games”, which express scepticism towards universalising forms and trigger reflections on history and modernity. In this working paper, I examine how, in 2666, the cosmopolitan desire of a self-legislating and self-authorizing individual is disassembled and superseded by a convivial framework and a relational subject that is crossed by diverse determining forces. This transition is correlated to Bolaño’s diagnosis of late capitalism, in which a matrix of domination that worked with the logic of potestas is replaced by the channelling of potentia, i.e. an apparatus for capturing a flow of lives whose features only come to light in forensic discourse and project the fictional city of Santa Teresa.

The present experiment evaluated the effects of dietary copper (Cu) on growth, antioxidant activities, and susceptibility to Aeromonas hydrophila infection of juvenile Oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense, as well as determining the optimal dietary copper requirement. Semi-purified diets containing seven graded levels of copper (2.8, 12.2, 20.9, 29.8, 43.1, 78.9 and 157.1 mg/kg diet) from CuSO4⋅5H2O were fed to juvenile prawn (initial weight 0.101±0.002 g). The weight gain of prawns fed with 2.8-78.9 mg/kg Cu was higher and they had lower feed conversion ratios than the group fed 157.1 mg/kg Cu. Cu concentrations in the hepatopancreas, muscle, and whole body in prawns tended to increase with increased dietary Cu concentration. Hepatopancreas Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) activity, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and total antioxidant competence (T-AOC) were highest (P<0.05) in the 43.1 mg/kg Cu group. The hepatopancreas malondialdehyde (MDA) content was lower (P<0.05) in the prawns fed 29.8 mg/kg Cu than that in prawns fed 2.8, 12.2, 78.9 and 157.1 mg/kg Cu. After the feeding experiment, prawns were injected with A. hydrophila, and the cumulative mortality rate of the prawns fed with 20.9-43.1 mg/kg Cu was lower than the prawns fed with 2.8 and 157.1 mg/kg Cu. The optimum requirement of dietary Cu in juvenile prawns was estimated at 26.9-27.8 mg/kg diet based on cumulative mortality rate and whole-body Cu retention.
