Injection-Induced Slip Potential of the Naturally Fractured Cambrian Reservoirs – A Case Study from the Hassi D'Zabat Field, Algeria
Authors: Benayad Soumya , Baouche Rafik , Chaouchi Rabah , Sen Souvik , Mitra Sourav , Benmamar Salim
Published: January 2025

This study presents a comprehensive geomechanical modeling of the naturally fractured Cambrian reservoirs of the Hassi D'Zabat field, Algeria to assess the in-situ stress state and critically stressed fractures. The Cambrian reservoir exhibits vertical to sub-vertical open to partially open fractures, as interpreted from the cores as well as the image log. A cumulative of 41 m of ‘B-quality’ breakouts was interpreted from the acoustic image log indicating a mean SHMax azimuth of N118˚E. Based on the breakout occurrence, SHMax was constrained following the frictional faulting mechanism. The inferred in-situ stress magnitudes (SHMax > Sv > Shmin) indicate a strike-slip tectonic regime in the study area. The practical injection threshold has been inferred as 1850 psi to ensure caprock integrity. The onset of slip on the optimally oriented vertical fractures is estimated to occur at 150 psi of fluid injection in the Cambrian reservoirs. Within the practical injection window, the stress-based model indicates 41 out of 136 steeply dipping fractures becoming critically stressed and therefore experiencing shear slippage.

1. INTRODUCTION

Geomechanics plays a critical role in optimizing the drilling trajectory, fluid injection, and production enhancement (Almalikee and Sen, 2021, 2022; Leila et al., 2021; Farouk et al., 2022; Sen et al., 2024a-c). It has critical implications for naturally fractured reservoirs. When the shear stress to effective normal stress ratio acting on a weak plane (fractures or faults) exceeds the sliding friction of that plane, the probability of shear failure occurrence becomes high, and the fracture is considered to be critically stressed. This study focuses on the prolific Cambro-Ordovician reservoir interval of the Hassi D’Zabat (HDZ), located in the Central Algerian Sahara. The reservoirs are naturally fractured. Waterflood (i.e., water injection) is commonly practiced in these reservoirs at the very early stage of production, to maintain aquifer pressure support. The primary objective of this study was to understand the interplay between natural fractures and in-situ stresses by geomechanical modeling and assess critically stressed fractures during any fluid injection.
Data-Driven Surrogate Models for Bearing Capacity of Spatially Random Soils

Published: January 2025

Soil properties exhibit inherent spatial variability, which can significantly affect the bearing capacity of foundations. This study conducted two-dimensional stochastic simulations of the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on spatially varying soils, utilizing random field theory and smoothed finite-element limit analysis. Despite the use of low-order elements in the numerical analysis, the node-based smoothed finite element method provides highly accurate bearing capacity estimates through kinematic limit analysis. However, running thousands of stochastic simulations to obtain reliable statistical results of bearing capacity can be computationally expensive and time-consuming. Previous studies have demonstrated that employing data-intelligent surrogate models can effectively eliminate computational bottlenecks while maintaining high-quality numerical results for collapse loads. The motivation of this study is to build deep learning-based surrogate models to overcome computational bottlenecks, leveraging machine learning algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain. It is shown that the accuracy of data-intelligent surrogate models in these predictions is improved by using various Kernel functions in Gaussian-based surrogate models.

1. INTRODUCTION

Bearing capacity has been estimated using traditionally deterministic analyses, where only average soil properties are considered in the simulations. However, soil exhibits considerable spatial variability due to complex sediment deposition processes (Phoon and Kulhawy, 1999). Ignoring this variability in deterministic calculations can significantly underestimate bearing capacity (Griffiths and Fenton, 2001; Chen et al., 2022, 2023). To overcome this issue, researchers (Griffiths and Fenton, 2001; Griffiths et al., 2002; Fenton and Griffiths, 2002, 2003, 2005; Cheng et al., 2024) applied random field theory to incorporate spatial variability of soil and developed the random finite element method (RFEM) to estimate the probability distribution of bearing capacity.

A typical RFEM analysis uses a Monte Carlo method, where random field samples of soil properties are generated and integrated into finite element (FE) models. Numerous random FE simulations are required to obtain statistical estimates of bearing capacity. However, this method is computationally demanding because it requires many samples for accurate statistical results. To address this issue, surrogate models, such as those utilizing machine learning techniques, can replace the time-consuming FE simulations. This updated method involves generating random field samples, running a limited number of FE simulations, training machine learning models, and then performing statistical analysis using the trained models.
Maximizing Production Efficiency: Geomechanical Assessment for Infill Well Optimization in Waterflood Developments in Crescent-Shaped Rim Structure Field, South of Oman

PDO's project portfolio includes numerous active waterflood developments, including a crescent-shaped rim structure field operating under Peripheral Waterflood with Flank Injection (PWRI). To enhance production rates, the proposed development plan involves infill drilling with reduced spacing between injectors and producers. However, this closer spacing could lead to potential risks associated with waterflood-induced fracturing, resulting in reduced sweep efficiency.

In order to optimize the infill well spacing and minimize the risk of injector-producer short-circuiting and out-of-zone injection, a geomechanical assessment was conducted. Understanding formation fracture pressure and in-situ stress orientations was crucial for determining induced fracture directions relative to well azimuths. Given the crescent shape of the field and the outward orientation of most wells towards the flank direction, well azimuths varied from east to west. Injector wells were categorized into three groups based on the location: East, Crest, and West, with varying azimuth orientations.

To determine stress orientation, borehole image (BHI) data from analog fields were analyzed to ascertain the expected orientation of maximum horizontal stress (SHmax). Detailed analyses using modified Hall's plot approach were conducted using injection pressure-rate data from 14 injectors to characterize current operating injection conditions (matrix vs. fractured). Field data from fracture pressure tests and analysis were interpreted to determine formation fracture pressure. Additionally, parameters such as injectivity, productivity, and depth of perforation relative to the Oil-Water Contact (OWC) were investigated to understand injection performance. Using these inputs, a calibrated PWRI frac model was developed to analyze fracture growth over time and pre dict fracture dimensions.

The study revealed that producer wells in the East group were at higher risk of potential water breakthrough from induced fractures from injectors, as they were along the intersection path of propagating fracture directions. Modeling results showed that un der an injection rate of 2000 m3/day over 25 years, the maximum predicted fracture (half) length reached approximately 350 m (i.e., the field's end of life). Producer wells in the West group had a lower risk due to their well directions being approximately parallel to the direction of fracture propagation, while wells in the crest area were assessed to have a medium risk.

These findings demonstrated that using a constant spacing for the entire field was not an optimal solution. Minimizing the risk of early water breakthrough and short-circuiting was essential in determining spacing. The study's results provided valuable guidance on operational injection pressures for waterflood optimization and improved recovery efficiency.

This study addresses the pressing issue of black carbon (BC) pollution in urban areas, focusing on two locations in the Philippines: Quezon City’s East Avenue (QCG, roadside urban environment) and Manila’s North Port. We found that organic aerosol particles (OA) made a greater contribution (80%) to total submicron particulate matter compared to
inorganic aerosol (IA) (20%). The mean hourly average equivalent black carbon (eBC) mass concentration at the
QCG site (35.97 ± 16.20 𝜇g/m3) was noticeably higher compared to the Port (10.27 ± 5.99 𝜇g/m3), consistent with trends in other Asian cities. Source apportionment analysis identified eBC related to transport emissions (eBCTR) as the predominant contributor to eBC, accounting for 86% at the Port and 80% at QCG. Diurnal patterns showed the highest eBCTR mass concentrations (47.69 ± 9.34 𝜇g/m3) during morning rush hours, which can be linked to light-duty
vehicles. Late-night (10 pm–12 am) high concentrations (30.63 ± 8.45 𝜇g/m3) can be associated with heavy diesel trucks at the QCG site. Whereas at the Port site, hourly average higher eBCTR concentration (12.24 ± 3.65 𝜇g/m3) during morning hours (6 am–8 am) can be attributed to the traffic of heavy-duty trucks, trollers, diesel-powered cranes
and ships. Compared to the QCG site, a lower eBC concentration at the Port site was favoured by the more open environment and higher wind speed, facilitating better pollutant dispersion. The mean hourly average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10, measured using an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer, consistently exceeded the air quality standards set by the World Health Organization and the Philippine Clean Air Act at both sites. This study highlights the persisting BC pollution in developing regions and calls for scientifically based strategies to mitigate the air quality crisis.
“This Venture Was Epoch-Making”
Authors: Morton David
Published: January 2025

This chapter addresses the history of silent film production in North Florida from the arrival of the Edison Manufacturing Company in Jacksonville in 1908 on through to the ill-fated attempts to build “motion picture cities” in South Florida and along the Gulf Coast during the 1920s land boom. By 1916, the city of Jacksonville had become a major center of film production for the emerging American motion picture industry. The election of Governor Sidney Catts in 1916, frightened film producers from taking advantage of Florida’s natural landscape and film-friendly environment. The controversial election of John Martin as Jacksonville Mayor ended North Florida’s reign as a regional film center, while the erratic nature of the Catts administration frightened investors from attempting to relocate elsewhere in the state. The completion of Henry Flagler’s East Florida Railway and Governor Napoleon Broward’s Everglades drainage project essentially turned the small fishing village of Miami into an ‘instant city’ as affiliates of the Edison Manufacturing Company had begun to travel to South Florida for location-based filming. Despite these efforts, early attempts by local boosters to attract the film industry to Florida during the silent era were eventually met with departure and disappointment.

Background: Newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are exposed to numerous medications during their hospital stay. The clinical variability of neonates makes them particularly vulnerable to drug-related problems (DRPs), leading to potential treatment inefficacy. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of DRPs and identify associated risk factors in neonates with sepsis in the NICU. Methods: This prospective observational research was conducted at a children's medical center in Iran from December 1, 2021, to March 1, 2022. Data were collected through daily physician orders and nursing reports, with DRPs classified according to Cipolle's standards. Logistic regression was utilized to determine risk factors for DRPs, with significance set at P < 0.05. Results and Conclusions: A total of 272 neonates with sepsis were included in the study, with mean birth weight and gestational age of 1781 ± 912 g and 35.4 ± 1.3 weeks, respectively. DRPs were observed in 57.5% of neonates (95% CI: 55.8 - 63.8%), with ineffective drugs (24.1%) and dosage issues (19.7% too low, 22.6% too high) being the primary causes. Antimicrobials accounted for the majority of DRPs (61.2%), with Gentamicin (21.5%) and Amikacin (17.3%) being the most commonly involved medications. Risk factors for DRPs included feeding intolerance and vomiting, with ineffective drug selection and inappropriate dosing impacting treatment efficacy.

Emmanuel Levinas’s “Religion and Idea of the Infinite” (1982)
Authors: Portal Michael ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2025

In 1982 Emmanuel Levinas contributed a “lesson” on religion to a series in Le Monde. Intended for a general audience, Levinas’s lesson is a clear and concise introduction to his thought in general—and, in particular, to the curious persistence of the idea of God or the Infinite despite modernity. After the death of God, what remains, invoking Descartes, is the “idea of God” or even the “expectation” of God (and, so, of some greater “meaning [sens] and justification”). Between Pascal and Heidegger, Levinas perhaps surprisingly insists upon the Descartes of A Discourse on the Method to emphasize the bon sens (both “good” and “common” sense) that underpins any thought that goes “to God” (à Dieu). Levinas is, here again, after what makes such thought possible, that thought that can somehow relate the finite and the infinite, that “thinks more than it can think.”
Maimonides on Almsgiving
Authors: Harvey Warren Zev ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2025

Levinas’s analysis of the relationship between ethics, with its uncompromising responsibility, and politics, with its compromises, is difficult. An examination Maimonides’s chapters on charity may help us understand it. According to Maimonides, one is commanded to give the poor person everything he or she lacks, including clothes, furniture, a spouse, as well as a horse and a herald. One is, moreover, required to give “with a friendly face” and to see the face of the poor person. However, it is impossible to fulfill one’s infinite ethical obligation to him or her, since there are many other poor people; one thus compromises and gives a fixed sum to the city’s charity fund. The greatest charity, according to Maimonides, is the ransoming of captives, who are not only destitute but in imminent danger of death.

Published: January 2025

This research examines the influence of the existence of zoned schools on equal access to education in Malang district. The problems in this research are the pros and cons of school principals, teachers, parents and students regarding the school zoning system in Malang district. Based on research conducted by researchers, many school principals, teachers, parents and students do not agree with the existence of a school zoning system. Because students who excel and are competent do not get favorite schools to support their long-term careers. On the other hand, from the teacher side, teachers are very depressed and stressed because they find so few talented and high-quality students in the learning process at school. This research uses qualitative methods in the form of interviews with school principals, teachers, parents and students in the school environment. The research results prove that in the absence of an educational zoning system in Indonesia, you will find many students who excel and excel in elementary, middle and high school. Because with the student zoning system there tends to be no competition between students and other students. However, this has led to a decline in the quality of education in Indonesia through the school zoning system.

Rukhsah Sholat bagi Orang Sakit Perspektif Hadis
Authors: Mulia Safrina  , Muhammad Taufik
Published: January 2025

This study focuses on the hadiths that discuss the rukhsah prayer for the sick. Every human being in this world will live their life by doing various daily activities. This explains that humans are based on two conditions or circumstances, namely healthy or sick. Every healthy human being will definitely experience a phase where they will feel pain. When someone is sick, it will make it difficult for them to do activities and worship. Rukhsah is a relief, ease, generosity in doing something because of an excuse or in an emergency. Then the question arises what kind of illnesses can prevent someone from praying and getting rukhsah if in that condition. The purpose of this study is to find out how the hadiths are understood about the rukhsah prayer for the sick. Then how is the contextualization of the hadith about the rukhsah prayer for the sick viewed from the current situation and conditions. This study is a library research study using the maudhu`i method in order to find out the understanding by collecting hadiths that have the same theme through their source books and then examining the understanding through the explanation of the hadith. Next, we use a contextual approach to find out the reasons for the emergence of the hadith by referring to its various aspects in detail. The results of this research are that the hadiths are agreed to be of authentic quality by the ulama. From understanding the sharia, there are criteria for illness that allow and prevent someone from carrying out prayers. Certain circumstances have been found that make it possible for someone to pray when they are sick. The cause of lightness in performing prayers is due to the occurrence of one thing or another, such as illness. Illness that befalls a person causes rukhsah for a person in carrying out prayers.

The research used is the library research method. The primary data sources in this study are hadiths about wearing sandals when praying, including the Sahih Bukhari Book, the Sahih Muslim Book, the Sunan Abu Daud Book, the Sunan Tirmidzi Book, the Musnad Ahmad bin Hambal, etc. The results of the studyHadith of wearing sandals when praying In this classification, the hadiths have the same wording and meaning, namely the statement of the Prophet praying using sandals. Hadith of not wearing sandals when praying In this classification of hadith, the Prophet took off his sandals during congregational prayers when the conquest of the city of Mecca and the actions of the Prophet were followed by his companions, and the reason the Prophet took off his sandals was because the Angel Gabriel told him that there was dirt on the Prophet's sandals. And it is explained in the sound of the hadith from another path, by rubbing the sandals on the ground in an effort to clean the sandals from dirt. And when taking off sandals it is advisable to prioritize the comfort of others. In terms of wording, the Prophet stated that he prayed with sandals and sometimes not. As for the prophet's editorial to differentiate (differentiate) between Muslims and Jews, the Prophet ordered to wear sandals when praying. In historical, sociological and anthropological context. The space and time when the Messenger of Allah performed or recited the hadith of wearing sandals when praying, in the early period of Islam there were not so many mosque buildings built and still had pedestals, so the Messenger of Allah gave concessions (rukhsah) on the face of this earth to create a mosque that could be used as a place of prayer. So it is possible to wear a khuf or na'lun when praying with the condition that it must be pure from the major and minor hadas. If we look at modern times, mosques have been built with ceramic or floor coverings.

The distribution of soil in Jayapura City, especially the Youtefa Bay area, consists of three dominant soil types that then form the stratigraphy of the local soil layer, namely allifial deposits, silt silt/silt clay, and fine, uniformly grained sand. Soil conditions like this have great potential for liquefaction, especially since this area is mostly passed by fault lines that have the potential to cause earthquakes. The groundwater table factor that is very close to the surface soil is also an important factor in the occurrence of liquifaction. There are 2 ways to analyze the potential for liquifaction, namely by laboratory test and from field test data. The approach to calculating field test data is CPT (Cone Penetration Test) testing. The results obtained were the Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR) value and the Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) value obtained by simulating seismic data using an earthquake strength of 6.5 on the riter scale and a pic ground acceleration value (0.3), then based on the results of the cone penetration test (CPT)/Sondir showed a maximum value of CRR 2.88, a minimum value of 0.21, a maximum CSR value of 3.70, a minimum value of 2.25. The maximum value of FS is 0.97, the minimum value is 0.07. There are 6 points at the research location that have the potential for liquefaction (Very High), namely points S1, S2, S5, S7, S8, S10, while 3 points with medium potential (High), namely points S3, S4, S9 for those with low potential (Low) S6.

In the 2023 Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC), the Big Five personality traits were assessed using the 15-item extra-short form of the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2-XS). For this purpose, the instrument was translated into 24 languages and adapted to 29 countries, resulting in 39 language versions. This translation and adaptation process followed state-of-the-art procedures to generate language versions of the BFI-2-XS that are maximally comparable across countries and regions. In the present paper, we describe this general translation procedure from a methodological point of view. We also document each resulting language version and report in detail the decisions taken during the translation process and the adaptations made to preexisting national versions of the BFI-2-XS. Our aim is to share with researchers the resulting BFI-2-XS language versions developed with high quality standards to allow maximal cross-cultural comparability. Our intention in so doing is to enable their wider usage beyond PIAAC.
