Enhancing Well Delivery Performance Through Discipline Integration
Authors: Davies R. , Bruland J. , Busto I. Del , Willumsen M.
Published: August 2016

Objectives

Demonstrate how to improve well delivery performance by strengthening discipline integration at key decision points. This draws on insight from implementing a well delivery process at Maersk Oil.

Methods

This paper analyses well delivery team performance, identifying issues and success factors through 30+ interviews and feedback from 100+ practitioners. It identifies five decision points with the greatest performance improvement potential. The study consistently found Subsurface/Wells integration challenges at the heart of issues, decisions and success stories.

It presents methods to systematically strengthen integration at each decision to improve performance. It defines enablers for effective integration, including learnings from prior projects and subject matter experts. The approach was implemented globally in all 2015/16 projects.

Results and Conclusions

Integration was strengthened through activities leading up to each decision. This covers deliverables, peer reviews, freezes and gates. For deliverables, this required clearer expectations and divisions of responsibilities. Peer reviews were adjusted to force trade-off debates and fulfil sharper requirements. Freeze points were created representing leadership commitment to minimise re-work. The gates were reinforced to drive cross-discipline integration and finalise decisions.

These integration activities aren't effective in isolation. They depend on enablers: building a robust case for integration, up-front collaboration, communicating the intent and cross-discipline leadership commitment. The paper describes best practices for each and how they fit together.

By strengthening integration and implementing enablers, project teams have improved efficiency, risk management and decision quality. The results are quantified with metrics and supported by examples and interviews.

Novel Information

Novelty lies in the systematic approach to strengthening cross-discipline integration at decision points. This goes beyond existing literature in scope and specificity. Operators can apply this to improve performance. The approach can be applied to other decision points, disciplines and capital project processes.
Looking Back 2006 - 2016 - Ten Years of Data Driven Well Rate Estimates for Real-Time Surveillance and Optimization
Authors: Jan Briers , Keat-Choon Goh , Ann Sniekers , Dave Schotanus , John Hofland , David Adun
Published: August 2016

On the tenth anniversary of the first Intelligent Energy Conference held in 2006, it is appropriate to look back at some of the technologies introduced at the time, and report out on how these have been progressed. This paper discusses one of the technologies: the use of data driven models for well rate estimation, to support and enable real-time surveillance and optimization.

In the early 2000s real-time data from oil and gas fields became available in abundance on engineering central office desktops via process data historians and wide area / global communications networks. A key challenge to production management, then, as now, was: "What are the wells producing?" The April 2006 SPE Paper 99963 introduced data driven modelling for continuous well production surveillance leveraging on the suddenly abundant and often very revealing PI data.

Today, ten years later, a stream of success stories on the use real time well rate estimates based on data driven models continue to be reported, and these tools are seen as best practice in many different operational scenarios. This paper reviews the key concepts introduced in 2006, and extensions and applications of the technology to various aspects of production surveillance and optimization. As with all innovations, the most challenging elements in the journey have been related to people and processes. The paper discusses these issues in relation to the important role played by technology integration themes such as Smart Fields.
The Smart Digital Platform for Effective Well Control Management

Published: August 2016

The oil and gas industry has increased its efforts in preventing and mitigating risks associated with loss of well control and loss of primary containment. Initiatives have primarily focused on increasing the awareness and education of field and operations personnel. The foundation of this strategy rests on the belief that increased awareness of threats, risks and enhanced training will lower well control risks and eliminate well control events. Despite this renewed focus, industry data show that well control events and high-potential near-misses have not diminished. In addition, findings from incident investigations point to human-factor-related causes, including lack of procedural discipline, non-compliance errors and cognitive errors.

For organizations to deliver flawless execution at the wellsite while effectively preventing or mitigating well control or loss of primary containment events, a robust closed-loop methodology that leverages smart risk detection and mitigation systems must be employed. This paper analyzes the critical process safety requirements in the industry and provides solutions centered on a smart integrated digital platform. This platform, built on technologies such as precursor sensor and alarming technologies, barrier and equipment health monitoring, wellsite performance analysis, sophisticated workflow management and video and audio analytics, will effectively coordinate and manage these dynamic risks.

A data management workflow that uses automated risk assessments, threat detection, structured and nonstructured contextual data will minimize the impacts of human factors and drive operational efficiency, process assurance, reduction in nonproductive time and project cost. These enhancements will enable global organizations to proactively drive effective risk management of well control and loss of primary containment events. This paper will explore the application, methodology and value of this smart, integrated digital platform through the presentation of case studies.
Novel Solutions and Interpretation Methods for Transient, Sandface Temperature in Vertical, Dry Gas Producing Wells
Authors: Dada Akindolu O. , Muradov Khafiz M. , Davies David R.
Published: August 2016

Pressure-Transient-Analysis (PTA) is a technique that is routinely used by both Production and Reservoir Engineers for a variety of applications during the lifetime of a producing well. It is initially used for reservoir characterisation and, later on, for well performance monitoring and (wider) reservoir surveillance. The application of high precision, downhole, temperature sensors has resulted in PTA being complemented or replaced by Temperature-Transient-Analysis (TTA).

Recent TTA research has shown that comprehensive information on the state of the near-wellbore zone and fluid flow rates and composition can potentially be derived from such measurements. However, the derivation and use of TTA solutions is challenging, due to both the small value of the measured temperature change and the more complex nature of the governing physics and equations. In particular, analysis workflows for wells producing gas or gas-liquid mixtures are still lacking since most published liquid TTA solutions cannot be applied in the presence of gas.

This paper addresses the missing workflow for a (dry) gas producing well. It presents the derivation of novel analytical transient sandface temperature solutions together with the development and application of workflows for interpreting transient sandface temperature data in vertical, dry gas wells. Estimation of either the flow rate or the permeability. thickness (kh) product is demonstrated using a linearized analytical solution.

Further, the radius and permeability of a near-wellbore zone of reduced permeability (due to formation damage) can be determined by tracking changes in the temperature transient using the thermal radius of investigation concept. The complete interpretation methodology has been validated by a bespoke numerical model and its application illustrated by case studies.

The developed solution and workflows provides a simple and fast method for interpreting sandface temperature data. They will be invaluable for well testing and monitoring applications. It is a major step forward in the longer-term project of developing a full-spectrum of TTA methods for multiphase (gas-liquid) producing wells.
Intelligent Monitoring and Control: Essential Guidance for Critical Infrastructure Security
Authors: Tarter Alex
Published: August 2016

Energy companies recognize that they have become high-value targets and that their operations can be disrupted using only cyber means. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Process Control Systems (PCS) are of specific interest to attackers as these operate critical infrastructure. Risk management is extremely difficult because every risk has a high cost attached and there are no reliable statistics to assess the likelihood of a risk occurring. The challenge is to understand an organization's risk profile and tailor its risk management strategy accordingly.

Industrial networks facilitate the free flow of messages that can allow poison packets to transmit with potentially disastrous effect. For instance, Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) Secure Authentication does not protect against implementation failures in the device that can be exploited through malformed packets, therefore making protocol-aware validation and restrictions essential. A comprehensive approach to restricting what can and does occur within an industrial control network will help effectively mitigate the systemic risks that are inherent within the industrial control environment.

To comprehensively protect the critical infrastructure that powers civilian businesses and homes, the intelligent approach demands a secure-system design that controls and monitors all entities within the control system from users to vulnerability-prone endpoints and protocols. Not all attacks occur from external sources and so boundary protections such as data-diodes and firewalls are not enough. Such solutions, however, also must preserve operational efficiency to assure that the cure is not worse than the malware, in relation to operational efficiency.

Successful risk management requires an effective assessment of the inherent risks and the most viable mitigation strategies for those risks. This paper outlines these systemic industrial control specific cyber-related risks, and offers an approach for intelligently monitoring and controlling cyber activity to reduce a cyber-related impact. This approach promotes systems-based methods that focus on architectures that leave critical operations uninterrupted.
Leveraging Data-driven Exception Based Surveillance to Maximize Returns in Times of Low Oil Prices

Published: August 2016

With current economic realities, now is the time to produce "more with less". Exception Based Surveillance (EBS) helps eliminate waste in an engineer's day, by removing unnecessary analysis and allowing the engineer to focus on the highest value tasks. For the surveillance of oil wells, an efficient and effective way to achieve this is to use an automated Exception Based Surveillance System, often augmented by data-driven well rate estimates.

Specifically, this paper provides examples from Shell operations in Gabon, Malaysia, and the Netherlands on how EBS systems have been set up to address day to day production challenges. The multiple EBS Systems to be described here have been achieved via the tight integration of real-time data in Well, Reservoir and Facilities management (WRFM) workflows and the automation of complex calculations and rule sets. This paper also describes the WRFM "Next Generation surveillance tool" (NGT) currently being rolled out in several Shell assets (Clinton 2016).

The work described here regarding enhanced Exception Based Surveillance Systems and integrated Portals go beyond just deploying tools. To be sustainable and value adding over existing practices, the introduction of these systems requires the transformation of roles, processes and tools to fully and efficiently leverage and gain value from now mature technological capabilities.
Workflow Automation for Gas Lift Surveillance and Optimization, Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Borden Zachary H. , El-Bakry Amr , Xu Peng
Published: August 2016

In this paper, we present a successful implementation for the development and deployment of a system that automates and simplifies the surveillance and optimization workflows for the gas lifted wells at a platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

As with other "digital oil field" type systems, the success of the capability deployed, called Gas Lift Optimization Workflows (GLOW™), required the use of diverse and more-than-capable library of techniques, algorithms, and methods that already exist in the fields of optimization, machine learning, signal processing, physical modeling, and numerical simulation. We adopted a philosophy in GLOW of relying on our understanding of the underlying physics as much as possible to achieve our goals.

We found that most of our problems, like the diagnosis of steady-state gas lift injection through multiple valves or solving for the optimal allocation of gas lift to every well, could be solved to an appropriate level of accuracy with physical models that are automatically matched to well-test and real-time data coming from the field using non-linear regression techniques. We resorted to using statistical modeling approaches, like Naïve Bayes classification for slugging detection or Kalman Filtering for reservoir pressure prediction, in situations where uncertainty precluded the use of physical models. The benefits of this system include production uplift, increased operator efficiency, optimal use of gas lift experts, and timely mitigation of issues

The key challenge in developing GLOW™ was to figure out how to stitch some of these methods together and create a system to enable operators and gas lift specialists to monitor and optimize all the gas lifted wells given limitations in data quality and coverage.

Frequent surveillance data is essential for optimizing production and recovery, especially in complex reservoir and recovery settings such as waterfloods in highly compartmentalized stacked reservoirs and in IOR and EOR projects. However, in many cases data is acquired infrequently or not at all due to concerns regarding production deferment, costs, HSE exposure, and operational risks.

Permanent in-well fibre optic cable installations offer a solution to this problem by enabling frequent measurements across a large section of a well at once without well interventions and without production deferment. The fibres can be utilized to provide distributed temperature, strain and acoustic measurements across the wellbore from which information on well integrity, on well flow behaviour, reservoir conditions and seismic data can be obtained.

Although interpreting optical fibre measurements such as Distributed Acoustic Sensing or Distributed Temperature Sensing is not yet straightforward, significant progress has been made to provide actionable information shortly after data acquisition by providing an appropriate in-field infrastructure and easy to use tools for data handling and analysis.

In this paper, we present recent examples from Brunei Shell Petroleum, where Distributed Acoustic Sensing data has been used in facile but impactful way for Smart Wells management and flow optimization. This work is a big step forward to make distributed data analysis an integral part of the day-to-day Well, Reservoir and Facilities Management.
The Man, Technology and Organisation MTO Function Allocation Method Used for Optimal O&M Staffing in a Greenfield Project
Authors: Drøivoldsmo A. , Nystad E.
Published: August 2016

The usual basis for staffing new offshore assets are the oil company's operating model, estimated numbers of maintenance hours and input from staff with O&M experience taken into early project phases. In many cases this approach builds in too much conservatism and results in a number of staff equal to already existing assets of similar size operated by the same company, independent of whether the asset under development holds a number of innovations and improvements aimed at reducing the need for offshore staff.

The Center for Integrated operations MTO function allocation method has been used in the preparations of setting staffing levels in greenfield developments projects to optimize the number of staff according to the implementation of new technology and alternative organisation of maintenance resources. In the cases referred to in this paper a number of improvements, such as higher degree of automation, improved process safety and monitoring systems, potential for more onshore support, infrastructure for logistics and data communication designed for more efficient operations was implemented.

This paper shows how the MTO function allocation method is used to pinpoint the effects from the investment in new and improved systems in offshore projects, how to interpret the data and how the analysis results are used to challenge the truths about traditional manning models and set the right staffing level for optimal operation of the asset.
A Simple Data-Driven Approach to Production Estimation and Optimization

Published: August 2016

In this paper we describe an approach to real-time decision support that is completely data-driven. The approach can be viewed as a sequence of transformations acting on available production data. The transformations form a data pipeline from sensors to operational advice, and can be summarized as follows. Historical and real-time production data, experimental data such as well tests, and any other operational metadata, enters the data pipeline on one end. The data is then synchronized, cleansed and compressed, while retaining important uncertainty measures such as standard errors. The resulting information is used to build models using regression analysis or machine learning. These models are updated in real time as new data enters the pipeline. In this fashion, the models are adjusted frequently to the operational situation, making up for their limited prediction capabilities compared to advanced first-principle models. This approach may reduce the need for advanced fluid modeling and model calibration efforts in real-time applications. Arguably, the approach may provide automation under uncertainty, and hence sustainability, to a higher degree than traditional approaches based on process simulation.

A great advantage of the data-driven approach is that the uncertainty of measurements and models is tracked. By considering this information, production estimation and optimization may give operational advice with uncertainty measures. Furthermore, by tracking uncertainty, it is possible to advise experiments (e.g. step-tests) that may yield valuable operational information by entering unexplored operational regions. In our experience, information about the uncertainty of alternative production advice may ultimately alter the final decision. Furthermore, production advice without accompanying uncertainty measures may be misleading.
Electro-Fenton for control and removal of micropollutants – process optimization and energy efficiency
Authors: Mousset E. , Wang Z. , Lefebvre O.
Published: August 2016

The removal of micropollutants is an important environmental and health issue. Electro-Fenton offers an electrochemical advanced treatment that is particularly effective for the breakdown of aromatic contaminants. Due to the wide variety of chemicals, it is preferable to analyze model contaminants, such as phenol, when optimizing and assessing the efficacy of a novel treatment process. In this study, we therefore made use of innovative types of electrode material and optimized operating parameters (current density and aeration rate) for the removal of phenol by electro-Fenton, with a view to maximize the energy efficiency of the process. By determining the best current density (1.25 mA cm−2), frequency of aeration (continuous) and by using a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode, it was possible to achieve over 98.5% phenol (1 mM) removal within 1.5 h. BDD further outcompeted platinum as anode material in terms of mineralization rate and yield, and displayed low energy consumption of 0.08 kWh (g-TOC)−1, about one order of magnitude lower than other advanced oxidation processes, such as UV/TiO2 and UV/O3. Furthermore, a carbon cloth anode proved even more cost-effective than BDD if the end goal is the removal of phenol by electro-Fenton instead of complete mineralization.

Authors: Hartono Maria R. , Kushmaro Ariel , Marks Robert S. , Chen Xiaodong
Published: August 2016

In this study, composite calcium-alginate/carbon nanotubes/TiO2 beads were prepared and tested for their potential in the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) from aqueous solutions. The removal traits were inspected using a fixed-bed sorption column. By varying parameters such as bed height (15–20 cm), flow rate (2.0–6.0 mL.min−1) and inlet BPA concentration (10–30 mg.L−1) we assessed the removal capacity of these composites. The highest sorption capacity of 5.46 mg.g−1 was achieved at 10 mg.L−1 BPA concentration, 2.0 mL.min−1 flow rate and 20 cm bed height at saturation. Adams-Bohart, Yoon-Nelson and Dose-Response isotherm models were applied to evaluate the performance of the column at different inlet concentrations. The experimental data satisfactorily fit the Dose-Response model with high correlation (r2 > 0.97) across the breakthrough curve. Regeneration of the used adsorbent beads were performed by immersion in the desorption solvent followed by light irradiation. It was postulated that inclusion of TiO2 facilitates the desorbed pollutant degradation from the used adsorbent beads.

Published: August 2016

The presence of calcium challenges the manganese recovery from manganiferous wastewater. In this paper, a kind of mesoporous material named [H22·Zr5·WO4·10 P2O7]n·6n H2O is investigated as an ion exchanger to remove calcium ion from manganese slag percolate. The synthesis of zirconium tungstopyrophosphate (ZWPP) was optimized by response surface methodology , and its adsorption capacity and equilibrium were tested. The adsorption data have been confirmed by the use of various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller. An empirical formula of ZWPP was obtained by X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. The adsorption process conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm, which described the equilibrium powerfully. Furthermore, different thermodynamic parameters were evaluated. And it was found that Gibbs free energy change is negative, indicating the adsorption process was spontaneous, whereas the enthalpy change and entropy change are positive indicating endothermy and increased randomness nature of the adsorption process. As a result, ZWPP could be a possible ion exchanger material in the area of removing Ca2+ from processing water or wastewater.

Published: August 2016

Background:

Health problems about children have been attracting much attention of parents and even the whole society all the time, among which, child-language development is a hot research topic. The experts and scholars have studied and found that the guardians taking appropriate intervention in children at the early stage can promote children’s language and cognitive ability development effectively, and carry out analysis of quantity. The intervention of Artificial Intelligence Technology has effect on the autistic spectrum disorders of children obviously.

Objective and Methods:

This paper presents a speech signal analysis system for children, with preprocessing of the speaker speech signal, subsequent calculation of the number in the speech of guardians and children, and some other characteristic parameters or indicators (e.g cognizable syllable number, the continuity of the language).

Results:

With these quantitative analysis tool and parameters, we can evaluate and analyze the quality of children’s language and cognitive ability objectively and quantitatively to provide the basis for decision-making criteria for parents. Thereby, they can adopt appropriate measures for children to promote the development of children's language and cognitive status.

Conclusion:

In this paper, according to the existing study of children’s language development, we put forward several indicators in the process of automatic measurement for language development which influence the formation of children’s language. From the experimental results we can see that after the pretreatment (including signal enhancement, speech activity detection), both divergence algorithm calculation results and the later words count are quite satisfactory compared with the actual situation.
Magnetic Resonance Arthrogram Referrals by Subspecialist and Non-Subspecialist Orthopaedic Surgeons: What are the Findings?
Authors: Al-Ani Zeid , Ali Syed , Beardmore Simon , Parmar Vinay , Chooi Oh Teik
Published: August 2016

Background:

Although subspecialist orthopaedic surgeons usually request Magnetic Resonance Arthrogram (MRA) examinations, some orthopaedic surgeons may request this examination for a body part that is different from their subspecialty. The purpose of the study is to compare the MRA and the clinical findings in the subspecialist and non-subspecialist groups.

Method:

Retrospective analysis of MRA examinations over a 6-month period. Findings were compared with the clinical information.

Results:

There were 144 examinations (69 shoulder, 42 wrist and 33 hip). 85% of these were subspecialist referrals; 60% of them showed findings compatible with the clinical diagnosis. 15% of the MRA examinations were non-subspecialist referrals; 52% of them correlated with the clinical findings.

Overall, clinical information agreed with MRA findings for shoulder labral tears, hip labral tears and wrist triangular fibrocartilage complex tears in 63.3%, 64.5% and 61.5% respectively. The subspecialist group were more accurate than the non-subspecialist group in diagnosing hip labral tears (68% vs. 50%) and triangular fibrocartilage complex tears (62.5% vs. 50%). On the contrary, shoulder MRA and clinical findings correlated better in the non-subspecialist group (77.8%) compared to the subspecialist group (63.3%). However, the small number of requests generated by the non-subspecialist group may affect the results. Suspected scapholunate ligament injury showed low correlation with MRA at 26.7% (33.3% in the subspecialist group and 0% in the non-subspecialist group).

Conclusion:

Generally, the clinical findings are more accurate in the subspecialist referrals when compared to MRA findings and therefore a subspecialist referral is preferred. The low agreement between clinically suspected scapholunate ligament injuries and wrist MRA probably reflects the relative difficulty in establishing this diagnosis clinically.
Preoperative Bone Mineral Density and Bone Turnover in Women Before Primary Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Ishii Yoshinori , Noguchi Hideo , Sato Junko , Takayama Satoshi , Toyabe Shin-ichi
Published: August 2016

Purpose:

The preoperative prevalence of osteoporosis and/or osteopenia and overall bone quality in prospective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients may affect the postoperative outcome after prosthetic insertion into the bone. The purpose of this study is to determine the baseline bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover in preoperative, female, primary TKA patients.

Methods:

We prospectively measured the lumbar spine and hip BMDs using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans in a cohort of 119 knees (107 patients) one day before surgery. We also assessed bone turnover using urinary levels of N-telopeptide (NTX), a type I collagen crosslinker, normalized to creatinine.

Results:

The prevalence of osteoporosis by DEXA scan (T-score ≤ −2.5) among the TKAs was 12% in the spine and 10% in the hip. Eighty-three knees (70%) had osteopenia or osteoporosis of either the spine or hip. The mean T-score of the spine was
−0.7 (SD 1.6), which is within normal limits, and of the hip was −1.2 (SD 1.0), which is defined as osteopenia. The mean Z-scores of 0.9 (SD 1.4) in the spine and 0.6 (SD 0.9) in the hip were positive. The median urinary NTX/creatinine ratio was elevated at 58.1 (interquartile range: 13.7 to 188.4).

Conclusion:

Based on Z-scores, the TKA patients had higher spine and hip BMDs than the age-matched general population. Elevated NTX levels may suggest a systemic or local abnormal bone turnover. Further study is needed to determine whether such turnover, as a type of patient-related medical systemic disorder, affects postoperative clinical outcomes.

Ze szczególną mocą podkreśla rolę słowa Bożego w procesie zbawienia człowieka. „Prawdziwe słowa Boże” to nośniki zbawczej nowości Chrystusa-Pana, która przemienia „starego człowieka” w „nowe stworzenie”.
Interpretácia zjaveného Slova pomocou tradície Cirkvi – v otázke podriadenosti ženy mužovi podľa Pavlovho Listu Efezanom (Ef 5, 21–33)
Authors: Vojtko Stanislav
Published: August 2016

Hlavným cieľom predloženej prednášky je poskytnúť prostredníctvom tradície Cirkvi interpretáciu vážneho sociálneho problému, ktorý apoštol Pavol predostrel vo svojich listoch, najmä v Liste Efezanom (Ef 5, 21–33) – a to podriadenosť ženy mužovi.Prednáška má tri časti:Pavlov pohľad na podriadenosť ženy mužovi v historických okolnostiach 1. storočia kresťanstva.Pohľad tradície Cirkvi na vzťah muža a ženy od poapoštolskej doby až po pápežov 21. storočia.Záverečné zhrnutie v kontexte súčasných pohľadov na postavenie ženy v modernej spoločnosti.V nosnej prvej časti prednášky poukazujeme na Pavlovo chápanie vzťahu Krista a Cirkvi, ktorý on sám označuje ako veľké tajomstvo. Rovnako aj vzťah muža a ženy v manželstve vidí ako „mysterium”, ktoré vo svete sprítomňuje „mysterium salutis” (tajomstvo spásy). Pavol hodnotí ľudské manželstvo v kontexte Krista a Cirkvi, čo znamená, že manželstvo je obrazom zmluvy Boha a vyvoleného národa, ako aj zmluvy Ježiša Krista a jeho Cirkvi. Je teda obrazom „zmluvy novej a večnej”, t.j. veľkonočnej. Touto argumentáciou (Ef 5, 21–33) Pavol poukazuje na mystickú vznešenosť manželstva. Na základe kristologickej a soteriologickej argumentácie Listu Efezanom nadobúda teda problematika podriadenosti ženy mužovi novú dimenziu – nejde tu o prvoplánovú podriadenosť ženy, ale o vzájomnú podriadenosť medzi mužom a ženou.V tomto vidíme geniálnosť vysvetlenia vzájomných vzťahov medzi manželmi, ktoré nie sú ani diskriminačné, ani rovnostárske, ale komplementárne. Mužovi aj žene prisudzujú rovnoprávnosť a rovnakú dôstojnosť; zároveň však mužovi a žene pripisujú vlastné, špecifické, rozdielne a nenahraditeľné úlohy, ktoré im daroval Boh.Pavlovo učenie o podriadenosti ženy mužovi spôsobovalo v tradícii Cirkvi nemalé problémy. Duch Svätý ju však v priebehu stáročí viedol a posúval chápanie vzťahu medzi mužom a ženou v manželstve:od neprijateľných pohanských a judaistických konceptov, ktoré diskriminovali ženu;cez postoje cirkevných otcov, ktoré žene priznávali rovnakú dôstojnosť ako mužovi vďaka vykupiteľskému dielu Božieho Syna; avšak hodnota ženy v Cirkvi a spoločnosti bola nedostatočne oceňovaná;až po geniálnu náuku sv. Jána Pavla II. v teológii tela: vzťah medzi mužom a ženou v manželstve je vzťahom vzájomnej podriadenosti v láske, ktorá je odrazom Božej lásky a symbolom vzťahu medzi Kristom a Cirkvou. Tento vzťah je vo svojej podstate „communiou personarum“ (spoločenstvo osôb), v ktorom sa rozdielnosť ženy a muža vzájomne dopĺňa a vytvára harmóniu.Prednáškou sme chceli poukázať na fakt, že návrat k inšpirovaným biblickým textom vysvetľovaným pomocou Magistéria je spoľahlivým prostriedkom na získanie pravdivého poznania aj v pálčivých otázkach manželského a rodinného života.

W opracowaniu opartym na euchologiach nowego rytuału i oraz mszy obrzędowych wykazano wyraźne odniesienie profesji zakonnej do chrztu, Eucharystii oraz pośrednio do bierzmowania. Dowiedziono też, że sakramentalia i sakramenty wzajemnie się warunkują i pozwalają chrześcijaninowi na stałą i twórczą łączność z Bogiem, potwierdzając komplementarność zasad ex opere operato i ex opere operantis w liturgii. Dojrzałe i owocne uczestnictwo w misterium zaślubin z Chrystusem zapewnia Duch Paraklet. Świadoma uległość Duchowi Świętemu, którego należy kojarzyć z sakramentem bierzmowania i z każdą epiklezą, pomaga przeżywać profesję i wynikający z niej stan w wymiarze eschatologicznym. Profesja zakonna, która należy do grupy sakramentaliów konstytutywnych, w istotny sposób wpływa na kształtowanie i rozwój participatio actuosa osób konsekrowanych w życiu liturgicznym Kościoła.
Prawda historyczna Pisma Świętego. Refleksja na kanwie nowego dokumentu Papieskiej Komisji Biblijnej
Authors: Majewski Marcin
Published: August 2016

Nowy dokument Papieskiej Komisji Biblijnej pt. Natchnienie i prawda Pisma Świętego rozwija temat prawdy w Biblii także w kontekście problemów historycznych, jakie rodzą teksty biblijne. Konsensus współczesnych nauk historycznych i archeologicznych zmierza w kierunku separowania historii biblijnej od historii jako nauki. W artykule przedstawiam stan współczesnej dyskusji na ten temat, a następnie pytam, jak dokument Papieskiej Komisji Biblijnej traktuje omawiane zagadnienie. Na końcu proponuję kierunki dalszych prac, by owocny dialog biblistów i historyków pomagał coraz lepiej zrozumieć istotę i sens słowa Bożego jaśniejącego w Piśmie Świętym.
Theological Implications of Markan Interpretative Intercalations
Authors: Kusio Mateusz
Published: August 2016

Artykuł ma na celu uzasadnienie tezy, iż wplecenia narracyjne w Ewangelii św. Marka są zabiegiem ukazującym dogłębne zaangażowanie teologiczne ewangelisty. Zabieg ten zdefiniować można jako powiązanie ze sobą dwóch linii narracji w układ A1BA2, który poprzez zastosowanie środków, takich jak równoczesność, kontrast, ironia, podobieństwo i tym podobne przekazuje całkowicie nowe znaczenie obu historii. Sześć wpleceń z Ewangelii św. Marka – 3,20–35, 5,21–43, 6,7–31, 11,21–23, 14,1–11 oraz 14,53–72 – łączą różne sceny z konkretnymi zamysłami natury teologicznej i jako takie nie mogą być sprowadzone do kategorii zabiegu literackiego lub redakcyjnego. Wszystkie one krążą dookoła najważniejszych problemów Markowej teologii, takich jak chrystologia, szczególnie w nawiązaniu do cierpienia, wymagania względem prawdziwego ucznia Jezusa, wizja przyszłej wspólnoty kościelnej. W swoich wpleceniach narracyjnych św. Marek wyjawia swoją rozbudowaną, wyrazistą teologię, jak również oryginalność i mistrzostwo w prowadzeniu narracji.
Istanze e prospettive teologiche dell’Esortazione Apostolica Verbum Domini
Authors: De Virgilio Giuseppe
Published: August 2016

Lo studio riassume i punti principali dell’Esortazione Apostolica Postsinodale Verbum Domini di Benedetto XVI riguardante «La Parola di Dio nella vita e nella missione della Chiesa» (2010). La riflessione affronta il ruolo della Parola di Dio nella Chiesa, ampliando e attualizzando il cap. VI della costituzione dogmatica Dei Verbum. L’Esortazione costituisce un importante verifica del «cammino biblico» della Chiesa post-conciliare. Le indicazioni basilari provengono dal vasto lavoro di sintesi, riassunto nelle 55 Propositiones redatte nel corso della XII Assemblea Generale Ordinaria del Sinodo dei Vescovi (Città del Vaticano, 5–26 ottobre 2008). Come una «sinfonia musicale», l’articolo propone un percorso ermeneutico riprendendo le tre parti dell’Esortazione: 1) La «Parola di Dio» (nn. 6–49); 2) la «Parola nella Chiesa» (nn. 50–89); 3) la «Parola al mondo» (nn. 90–120). In conclusione si propongono alcune chiavi di lettura teologica e pastorale del ruolo della Parola di Dio per l’uomo di oggi.
Marsjański kalendarz liturgiczny
Authors: Karocki Piotr
Published: August 2016

Artykuł ten pokazuje problemy związane z tworzeniem liturgicznego kalendarza dla kolonistów Marsa, którzy (zgodnie z projektem Mars One) mają na Marsie wylądować w 2026 roku. Część pierwsza uzasadnia zakładanie siedzib ludzkich poza Ziemią. Druga skrótowo zakreśla historię tworzenia ziemskiego kalendarza, trzecia pokazuje ścisłą zależność kalendarza liturgicznego od środowiska ziemskiego. W dwu kolejnych częściach zaprezentowano ideę cywilnego kalendarza marsjańskiego oraz zestawienie problemów związanych z kalendarzem liturgicznym dostosowanym do warunków pozaziemskich.
Czy można wypełnić dwa obowiązki podczas jednej mszy świętej?
Authors: Kroczek Piotr
Published: August 2016

Problem tego artykułu może być zawarty pytaniu: czy wierny może wypełnić dwa obowiązki uczestniczenia we mszy świętej podczas jednej mszy świętej? Regulacje prawne, które mają zastosowanie przy udzieleniu odpowiedzi na to pytanie to głównie kan. 1247 i kan. 1248 § 1 z KPK 1983. Rozwiązując wskazany problem należy podać wykładnię tych przepisów. Wniosek z rozważań jest następujący: chociaż prawo pozwala na udzielenie dwóch całkowicie odmiennych odpowiedzi na powyższe pytanie badawcze, to z praktycznego i pastoralnego punktu widzenia, tylko jedna odpowiedź powinna być udzielona przez kompetentną władzę kościelną. Byłoby wskazane, gdyby to biskup diecezjalny jasno ogłosił, jaka norma obowiązuje w diecezji w tej sprawie. Wierni mają prawo wiedzieć, jakiego zachowania się od nich oczekuje.
Granice metody historyczno-krytycznej w ujęciu Josepha Ratzingera (Benedykta XVI)
Authors: Zatwardnicki Sławomir
Published: August 2016

Według Josepha Ratzingera powstanie metody historyczno-krytycznej jednocześnie wywołało walkę o jej zasięg i kształt. Metoda ta jest koniecznym narzędziem egzegetycznego warsztatu, jednak posiada ograniczenia. W artykule przedstawiono i kolejno omówiono właśnie granice metody historyczno-krytycznej, do których należy zaliczyć: poszukiwanie jedynie historycznego znaczenia tekstu; ukazywanie tylko jednego z dwóch wymiarów (ludzkiego) Pisma Świętego; brak ciągłości jako jedna z zasad metody; hipotetyczność wyników badań. W zakończeniu zwrócono uwagę na niebezpieczny rozdźwięk między badaniami naukowymi a studium teologicznego znaczenia tekstów. Przypomniano również apel Benedykta XVI o przywrócenie należnego miejsca w interpretacji Biblii zasadom teologicznym wskazanym w Konstytucji dogmatycznej Dei verbum oraz o ich powiązanie z zasadami naukowymi.
Teolog wobec współczesnego świata
Authors: Staniek Edward
Published: August 2016

Autor przytacza najpierw różne definicje teologa: 1) mistyk, który został wtajemniczony w życie Trójcy Świętej i otrzymał łaskę przekazu tego wtajemniczenia innym; 2) mistyk, który umie przekazać innym swoje religijne przeżycia; 3) niekoniecznie wierzący znawca literatury teologicznej z tytułem naukowym. Następnie przedstawia aktualne zadania teologa katolickiego, rozumianego jako wierzącego znawcy teologii: 1) czerpana z objawienia odpowiedź na pytania, jakie stawia życie; 2) apologia prawdy objawionej oraz Kościoła; 3) znalezienie nowego języka na potrzeby nowej ewangelizacji; 4) ewangeliczne spojrzenie na imperium zła, w którym jesteśmy zanurzeni.
Podejście do Biblii w pierwszym z „Wykładów Listu do Rzymian” św. Tomasza z Akwinu
Authors: Kamykowski Łukasz
Published: August 2016

Artykuł stanowi pisemne opracowanie przemyśleń po dyskusji nad komentarzem Tomasza do pierwszego wersetu Listu do Rzymian, którą pod kierunkiem autora prowadzili: ks. Pavel Habrovec, ks. Marcin Kaznowski SDB, Marek Kostur, Beata Marek, Magdalena Marek, Agnieszka Piskozub-Piwosz, ks. Rafał Wilkołek. Autor wykorzystał w artykule wszystkie spisane wypowiedzi uczestników, starając się oddać raczej ostateczny owoc, konsensus w rozumieniu komentowanego fragmentu niż indywidualny wkład poszczególnych osób. Formalny aspekt analizy wyznaczały cztery pytania: 1. Czym jest Objawienie i jak się dokonuje? 2. Jaka jest relacja między słowem Boga a tekstem spisanym? 3. W jakim stosunku pozostaje tekst Pisma do osoby Chrystusa? 4. Jaka jest (wobec tego) poprawna lektura tekstu?
Liturgia w katechezie
Authors: Kołodziej Marcin
Published: August 2016

Ciągle aktualne jest poszukiwanie odpowiedzi na pytanie: Jak uczyć uczniów religii, aby doprowadzić ich do odpowiedniego udziału w liturgii? Aby wypełnić to zadanie, należy katechizowanych nakarmić słowem Bożym i łaską Boga. Przestrzenią głoszenia słowa Bożego i obdarzania łaską Boga jest zarówno katecheza, jak i liturgia – każda z nich, we właściwym sobie zakresie. Pomiędzy liturgią a katechezą zachodzą wzajemne relacje. Liturgia domaga się katechezy, a katecheza domaga się liturgii. Aby młodych ludzi poprzez katechezę skutecznie przybliżyć do Mszy świętej, należy ukazywać im Eucharystię w sposób zachęcający. W realizacji tego zadania należy kierować się mądrością Kościoła: „Prawo kierowania sprawami liturgii należy wyłącznie do władzy kościelnej […] Dlatego nikomu innemu, chociażby nawet był kapłanem, nie wolno na własną rękę niczego dodawać, ujmować lub zmieniać w liturgii” (konst. Sacrosanctum Concilium, 22, § 1–3). Te wskazania mają swoje zastosowanie zwłaszcza w przygotowaniu katechizowanych do sakramentów: pierwszej Komunii świętej, bierzmowania i spowiedzi świętej. Jednak, aby został w pełni osiągnięty cel doprowadzenia katechizowanych do dojrzałego udziału w liturgii, należy zadbać także o formację katechetów. Oni jako przekaziciele nauki Chrystusa, powinni odznaczać się odpowiednimi cechami. „Najszlachetniejsze bowiem przymioty ludzkie i chrześcijańskie katechety bardziej gwarantują owocność katechezy aniżeli wyszukane metody” (Dyrektorium ogólne o katechizacji, 71).
Malchos – imię wskazaniem kontekstu historycznego redakcji opisu męki?
Authors: Szczepaniak Michał
Published: August 2016

Niniejszy artykuł na bazie zharmonizowanego opisu pojmania Jezusa przedstawia siatkę hipotetycznych aluzji do potwierdzonych historycznie wydarzeń i postaci współczesnych redaktorom tekstu świętego. Zaprezentowana analiza stanowi próbę wydobycia z warstwy literackiej fragmentu pasji Chrystusa odniesień do I wojny żydowskiej i zburzenia Świątyni Jerozolimskiej. Ciemna noc w Getsemani podobnie jak katastrofa roku 70 miała swoich bohaterów, których charakterystyki wydają się sobie pod pewnymi względami zaskakująco odpowiadać. Nawet wypowiedzi i zwroty rozpatrywane zdecydowanie częściej metaforycznie czy też ponad dosłownie mogą skrywać odwołania do historii starożytnej.
The non-differentiable solution for local fractional Laplace equation in steady heat-conduction problem
Authors: Chen Jie-Dong , Li Hua-Ping
Published: August 2016

In this paper, we investigate the local fractional Laplace equation in the
steady heat-conduction problem. The solutions involving the
non-differentiable graph are obtained by using the characteristic equation
method (CEM) via local fractional derivative. The obtained results are given
to present the accuracy of the technology to solve the steady heat-conduction
in fractal media.
