Plunger Lift Application in Wells With Set Packers or Permanent Tubing
Authors: Darden D. Patrick
Published: February 2018

E&P Exchange

Plunger lift is an artificial-lift method that uses energy from a well's own gas to lift accumulated fluids in the wellbore. The plunger acts as a mechanical interface between the gas and liquid in a well, with the gas forcing the plunger up the tubing, thus displacing the fluid above it. Plunger lift is successful primarily in high-gas/liquid-ratio oil and gas wells for constant liquid removal.

Low bottomhole pressure from natural depletion normally causes fluid accumulation in the bottom of a well as the flowing velocity slows. Through intermittent pressure buildups and the use of bottomhole tools, the load can be delivered to the surface in a slug for a clean wellbore operation. This allows maximum production and more drawdown than natural flow, extending the life of the well.

The various well conditions encountered when plunger lift is installed are somewhat similar, but each well's recovery, gas volume, and fluid load determine the proper equipment arrangement and the technique to be applied. Flexibility to adapt the plunger lift to the well conditions is a very important key to success.

To determine whether a well is a good candidate for a plunger lift installation, a simple formula can be used. A minimum of 500 scf of gas per barrel of fluid per 1,000 ft depth is required for plunger lift to work. If this requirement is met, the well should have enough gas production and reservoir energy to lift the plunger and the fluids accumulated in the bottom of the well.

Conventional use of plunger lift is in wells with an annulus that is open or in communication with the pay zone. The casing or annulus is used to store gas during the shut-in period. When the well is opened at the surface, the stored gas rises up the tubing, driving the plunger up the tubing, and delivering the well's fluid and gas to the surface. Until recently, the use of plunger lift in wells with set packers or permanent tubing was very uncommon.
The Non-public Stakeholders’ Participation in the Implementation of Educational Tasks as a Form of Education Policy Rationalization. The Case of Local Education Policy in Poland
Authors: Kolomycew Anna
Published: February 2018

The article focuses on the implementation of educational tasks in rural and urban-rural municipalities in Poland. For several years education policy has been one of the key problems of the Polish municipalities due to constantly growing costs of educational tasks. This problem particularly affects small municipalities in which education absorbs most of their budgets and which limits development opportunities of municipalities in other fields. The article presents one of possible forms of local education policy rationalization, which is the transfer of educational tasks to non-public stakeholders, with particular emphasis on social organizations. In the article, the author analyzes the most engaging form of stakeholders’ participation in education policy, which is recognized as an example of co-production of public services. Thus, the concept of co-production constitutes the theoretical framework of the article.

Core Ideas

Cowpea cropping after soybean is increasing in the Cerrado region of Brazil and can benefit from BNF.

Soybean bradyrhizobia can abundantly nodulate cowpea but are often inefficient.

Inoculated elite cowpea Bradyrhizobium strains increased grain yields.

Nitrogen fixation inputs were increased by inoculation with selected cowpea bradyrhizobia.

Nitrogen‐15 natural abundance showed inoculation increased N2 fixation by over 25 kg N ha–1 crop–1.

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.) is increasingly planted as a second season crop after soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the Brazilian Cerrado region. Experiments were conducted at Sinop and Primavera do Leste in Mato Grosso State to investigate the impact of cowpea inoculation with recommended rhizobium strains on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and grain yield. Plants were either non‐inoculated, with or without 70 kg N fertilizer ha−, or inoculated with five rhizobium strains, separately or as a mixture. Nodulation and shoot dry matter (DM) were evaluated at 35 d after emergence (DAE). Dry matter and N accumulation were evaluated and BNF contributions quantified using 15N natural abundance at 50 DAE. Nodule number and dry weight were high regardless of inoculation treatment. However, several of the inoculation treatments at Sinop and Primavera do Leste promoted significant increases in total N at 50 DAE. At both sites, the 15N abundance results indicated that inoculation significantly increased BNF contributions from 36 to 64 kg ha− at Sinop and from 48 to 75 kg N ha− at Primavera. Grain yield was significantly increased from approximately 1200 to 1500 kg ha− by strains BR 3262 and INPA 03‐11B at the Primavera do Leste, and from approximately 850 to 1400 kg ha− by strain BR 3262 at Sinop. The results indicate inoculation of cowpea with elite rhizobium strains can increase BNF contributions and grain yields in the Brazilian Cerrado region, even when there are abundant populations of soybean rhizobium present in the soil.

Core Ideas

Commercial rice buyers and consumers are starting to demand more environmentally sustainable rice.

This study uses historical data to estimate spatial differences in GHG emissions in rice production.

Soil texture is the largest driver of methane emissions in rice production.

Increased yields cannot make up for loss in methane use efficiencies when producing rice on loamy soils.

Commercial rice (Oryza sativa L.) buyers and a growing consumer market for sustainable agricultural products are driving agriculture to be more conscious about production practices and associated environmental effects, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Globally rice production has been identified as a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH4) emissions. This study extends current knowledge by using a procedure to quantify spatial differences in CH4 emissions as well as CH4 efficiency levels (kg rice [kg CH4–C]‐1) across the mid‐southern United States, where over 75% of all US rice is produced. This study focuses on existing rice production practices that are known to directly affect CH4 emissions: variety selection, crop rotation, and soil texture. Historical data on varietal selection, crop rotations, and soil texture were used to estimate CH4 emissions from 2005 through 2014. Results showed that rice produced on clay‐textured soils with a rice–soybean rotation sown with a hybrid variety has the largest CH4 emissions efficiency among the management practice combinations evaluated. Results also demonstrated that any deviation from this optimal combination cannot be mitigated through realistic increases in yields, as it would take a 177% increase in yield for the hybrid–clay–rice to achieve the same efficiency as the hybrid–clay–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] combination. Results of this study provide commercial rice buyers, producers, and consumers with critical information regarding the drivers of spatial variations in sustainable rice production. Furthermore, these results give insights to producers and policymakers regarding which production practices and locations could benefit from increased demand for sustainable products and more restrictive environmental policies.

Published: February 2018

Core Ideas

Relative effects of management on net soil N mineralization were stable across three years.

Soil C and N fractions contribute variably to predicting N mineralization in different rotation systems.

Soil organic C was the overall best predictor for net N mineralization among tobacco rotation systems.

Measuring biological net soil nitrogen mineralization (NSNM) can assist nitrogen (N) fertility management in agroecosystems, but the time and apparatus required for this assessment limits measurement frequency. Stable NSNM predictors that could be rapidly measured to compare systems would be extremely useful. We compared the effects of crop and soil management on NSNM from 2011 to 2013 and evaluated several carbon (C) and N indices including particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen (PON), permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC), soil organic carbon (SOC), and soil total nitrogen (STN) as NSNM indicators. Soil (0 to 10 and 10 to 20 cm depths) was collected from six long‐term burley tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum L.) tillage and rotation systems. Net soil nitrogen mineralization was estimated by a 120‐d laboratory incubation. The relative effects of management on NSNM among these systems were stable across 3 yr, which suggested NSNM measurement can be reduced to that frequency when NSNM is used to compare different crop and soil management. The soil C and N fractions contributed variably to predicting soil N mineralization in the different rotation systems, but SOC (which can be calculated from soil organic matter, a common index in the routine test package of many soil testing laboratories) was the best overall NSNM predictor in this study.
Magnetite synthesis from ferrous iron solution at pH 6.8 in a continuous stirred tank reactor

Published: February 2018

Partial oxidation of defined Fe2+ solutions is a well-known method for magnetite synthesis in batch systems. The partial oxidation method could serve as basis for an iron removal process in drinking water production, yielding magnetite (Fe3O4) as a compact and valuable product. As a first step toward such a process, a series of experiments was carried out, in which magnetite was synthesized from an Fe2+ solution in a 2 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at atmospheric pressure and 32 °C. In four experiments, elevating the pH from an initial value of 5.5 or 6.0 to a final value of 6.8, 7.0 or 7.5 caused green rust to form, eventually leading to magnetite. Formation of NH4+ in the reactor indicated that NO3− and subsequently NO2− served as the oxidant. However, mass flow analysis revealed an influx of O2 to the reactor. In a subsequent experiment, magnetite formation was achieved in the absence of added nitrate. In another experiment, seeding with magnetite particles led to additional magnetite precipitation without the need for a pH elevation step. Our results show, for the first time, that continuous magnetite formation from an Fe2+ solution is possible under mild conditions, without the need for extensive addition of chemicals.

La producción de textos académicos ha sido un desafío histórico para la comunidad científica colombiana y global, caracterizado por una visión de la escritura como acto casi que irrealizable o por la escritura de textos distantes de los patrones discursivos del texto académico (Christie, 2002). Tal desafío parece originarse en que el lenguaje académico es lingüísticamente distinto al usado en la interacción social. Es decir, el lenguaje académico representa un nuevo idioma para nuestros escritores, sean estos investigadores experimentados o en formación. El nivel de abstracción y especialización del texto académico escrito, su alta densidad léxica, su distancia del aquí-y-ahora de la oralidad y su estructura retórica (Halliday & Hasan, 1989; Ignatieva & Colombi, 2014) hacen que su lenguaje se parezca poco al lenguaje de la interacción social cotidiana, de allí su dificultad.
Influencing the Conversation About Masculinity and Suicide: Evaluation of the Man Up Multimedia Campaign Using Twitter Data
Authors: Schlichthorst Marisa , King Kylie , Turnure Jackie , Sukunesan Suku , Phelps Andrea , Pirkis Jane
Published: February 2018

Background

It has been suggested that some dominant aspects of traditional masculinity are contributing to the high suicide rates among Australian men. We developed a three-episode documentary called Man Up, which explores the complex relationship between masculinity and suicide and encourages men to question socially imposed rules about what it means to be a man and asks them to open up, express difficult emotions, and seek help if and when needed. We ran a three-phase social media campaign alongside the documentary using 5 channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Tumblr).

Objective

This study aimed to examine the extent to which the Man Up Twitter campaign influenced the social media conversation about masculinity and suicide.

Methods

We used Twitter insights data to assess the reach of and engagement with the campaign (using metrics on followers, likes, retweets, and impressions) and to determine the highest and lowest performing tweets in the campaign (using an aggregated performance measure of reactions). We used original content tweets to determine whether the campaign increased the volume of relevant Twitter conversations (aggregating the number of tweets for selected campaign hashtags over time), and we used a subset of these data to gain insight into the main content themes with respect to audience engagement.

Results

The campaign generated a strong following that was engaged with the content of the campaign; over its whole duration, the campaign earned approximately 5000 likes and 2500 retweets and gained around 1,022,000 impressions. The highest performing tweets posted by the host included video footage and occurred during the most active period of the campaign (around the screening of the documentary). The volume of conversations in relation to commonly used hashtags (#MANUP, #ABCMANUP, #LISTENUP, and #SPEAKUP) grew in direct relation to the campaign activities, achieving strongest growth during the 3 weeks when the documentary was aired. Strongest engagement was found with content related to help-seeking, masculinity, and expressing emotions. A number of followers tweeted personal stories that revealed overwhelmingly positive perceptions of the content of the documentary and strongly endorsed its messages.

Conclusions

The Man Up Twitter campaign triggered conversations about masculinity and suicide that otherwise may not have happened. For some, this may have been game-changing in terms of shifting attitudes toward expressing emotions and reaching out to others for help. The campaign was particularly effective in disseminating information and promoting conversations in real time, an advantage that it had over more traditional health promotion campaigns. This sort of approach could well be adapted to other areas of mental (and physical) health promotion campaigns to increase their reach and effectiveness.
Clinicians’ Concerns About Mobile Ecological Momentary Assessment Tools Designed for Emerging Psychiatric Problems: Prospective Acceptability Assessment of the MEmind App (Preprint)

Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Many mental disorders are preceded by a prodromal phase consisting of various attenuated and unspecific symptoms and functional impairment. Electronic health records are generally used to capture these symptoms during medical consultation. Internet and mobile technologies provide the opportunity to monitor symptoms emerging in patients’ environments using ecological momentary assessment techniques to support preventive therapeutic decision making.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to assess the acceptability of a Web-based app designed to collect medical data during appointments and provide ecological momentary assessment features.

METHODS

We recruited clinicians at 4 community psychiatry departments in France to participate. They used the app to assess patients and to collect data after viewing a video of a young patient’s emerging psychiatric consultation. We then asked them to answer a short anonymous self-administered questionnaire that evaluated their experience, the acceptability of the app, and their habit of using new technologies.

RESULTS

Of 24 practitioners invited, 21 (88%) agreed to participate. Most of them were between 25 and 45 years old, and greater age was not associated with poorer acceptability. Most of the practitioners regularly used new technologies, and 95% (20/21) connected daily to the internet, with 70% (15/21) connecting 3 times a day or more. However, only 57% (12/21) reported feeling comfortable with computers. Of the clinicians, 86% (18/21) would recommend the tool to their colleagues and 67% (14/21) stated that they would be interested in daily use of the app. Most of the clinicians (16/21, 76%) found the interface easy to use and useful. However, several clinicians noted the lack of readability (8/21, 38%) and the need to improve ergonometric features (4/21, 19%), in particular to facilitate browsing through various subsections. Some participants (5/21, 24%) were concerned about the storage of medical data and most of them (11/21, 52%) seemed to be uncomfortable with this.

CONCLUSIONS

We describe the first step of the development of a Web app combining an electronic health record and ecological momentary assessment features. This online tool offers the possibility to assess patients and to integrate medical data easily into face-to-face conditions. The acceptability of this app supports the feasibility of its broader implementation. This app could help to standardize assessment and to build up a strong database. Used in conjunction with robust data mining analytic techniques, such a database would allow exploration of risk factors, patterns of symptom evolution, and identification of distinct risk subgroups.

Konieczność wszechstronnego wsparcia osób opuszczających zakłady karne i ich rodzin powinna stać się nadrzędnym działaniem zespołów interdyscyplinarnych. W artykule przybliżono złożony i zmienny charakter nowoczesnego społeczeństwa, który stanowi zagrożenie dla jednostek izolowanych, nie ułatwia znalezienia porozumienia i utrudnia znalezienie poczucia przynależności w grupie środowiskowej. Społeczeństwo nie proponuje jednostce sposobówrozwiązania problemu poczucia bezsensu, ale z reguły usiłuje wyeliminować go z życia człowieka poprzez dostęp do różnych form pomocy instytucjonalnej, które nie realizują odpowiednio programów wsparcia. Decydującą rolę w odbudowaniu satysfakcji odgrywają takie czynniki, jak: przynależność do grupy AA, czas trwania w trzeźwości, zaangażowanie ze strony alkoholika i uczestnictwo w psychoterapii. Najwięcej korzyści wypływa ze wsparcia wspólnoty, która daje siłę i duchowo oraz społecznie rozwija, co sprzyja poprawie funkcjonowania w sensie jednostkowym i społecznym Potrzeba realizacji działań korekcyjnych w przyszłości, jest dla tej grupy osób wykluczonych – byłych więźniów – jedyną szansą na ich przetrwanie w środowisku lokalnym i częściowe odbudowanie pozytywnego wizerunku człowieka.

Nuorten pahoinvointi on ollut keskeisenä huolena viimeaikaisessa tutkimuksessa ja julkisessa keskustelussa. Erityisesti lastensuojelun asiakaslapsille kasautuu paljon kuormittavia tekijöitä. Nuoria lähellä olevat palvelut sekä varhainen puuttuminen ovat tehokkaimpia lisäämään yhteiskuntaan kiinnittymistä. Suomessa on käynnissä laaja palvelurakenneuudistus, mutta muutoksen tueksi tarvittava tutkimustieto on kuitenkin puutteellista.

Tutkimuksessa kuvataan nuorten mielenterveyspalveluita Uudenmaan alueella vuonna 2014. Kaikki Uudenmaan alueen nuorille tarkoitetut mielenterveyspalvelut kartoitettiin ja toiminnot luokiteltiin nuorille sovelletulla ESMS-R-työkalulla. Palveluita tarkastellaan lukumäärän, monipuolisuuden ja avohoidon henkilöstöresurssien perusteella sekä suhteutetaan lastensuojelun asiakasnuorten määrään. Nuorten hyvinvoinnin riskitekijät ja palveluiden monipuolisuus korreloivat alueen väkiluvun kanssa. Avohoidon henkilöstön resursointi ei ollut suhteessa väkimäärään, lastensuojelun avohuollon asiakkaisiin tai kodin ulkopuolelle sijoitettuihin. Lisäksi monilla alueilta puuttuivat kokonaan esimerkiksi päivätoimintojen ja liikkuvan avohoidon palvelut.

Tarkastelun perusteella alueen nuorten mielenterveyspalveluiden avohoito vaikuttaisi eriarvoiselta ja sattumanvaraiselta. Tulokset ovat tarpeen suunniteltaessa palveluiden kehittämistä siten, että kaikilla nuorilla on tarjolla yhtäläisiä palveluita kotikunnasta riippumatta. Nämä asiat tulisi huomioida myös tulevassa sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluiden uudistuksessa.

The paper is a brief analytical study based on real arbitration case leading to the search for answers during its review. The research focuses on the case of procedural succession from the highest official of the municipality to local administration while dealing with business entity statement on the collection of court fees resulted in the determination of the head of the municipality as an actor of public legal liability to be charged with public law duties, whereas the procedural succession is preceded by the early termination of official’s powers due to the resignation at his own request. The research examines such legal facts and status as an early termination of an official’s public powers and the discharge of his responsibilities by other persons provided for his participation in legal relations, civil legal succession or succession of responsibilities as a prerequisite for procedural succession, legal liability and collateral measures as well as their correlation and interdependence.

Una aproximación a las creativas tensiones de la Comunicación Popular
Authors: Gardella Mary Esther
Published: February 2018

Considerar nuestras prácticas de comuni-cación como un encuentro cultural, nos evita quedar entrampados en la demanda profesional que se nos hace desde las organizaciones sociales a la hora de plantear trabajos desde la extensión universitaria. Sin embargo, nada nos garantiza que a ese encuentro cultural lo construyamos más desde la creación que desde el descubrimiento. Es decir, desde una actitud de encontrar lo que fija ciertas particularidades y rasgos de las problemáticas de esos otros y no desde las formas en que esas particularidades y problemáticas adquieren significancia en relación al otro. Mirar nuestras prácticas de comunicación desde lo político, supone articular esas relaciones del todo social.

El presente artículo trata sobre la creación de la carrera de Comunicación Social de la Universidad Nacional de Salta (uns), en Tartagal. La misma, se instituyó desde una permanente inserción en los diferentes ámbitos de la zona que permitió crear un espacio desde la comunicación social en relación con la actividad comunitaria, que se enmarca en una zona de frontera e de interculturalidad, donde convivimos criollos, nueve etnias de pueblos originarios y descendientes de inmigrantes. Desde ahí, se construyó una permanente relación entre teoría y prácticas en contexto que vincularon las posibilidades que brinda la comunicación comunitaria con instancias de praxis.

Natural peat swamp forests converted can alter the soil chemical properties. This study aims to determine the extent to which changes in soil chemical properties that occur after the conversion of land from peat swamp forest to palm oil plantation, HTI Acacia crasicarpa, and sago plantation and to know which types of plants are sustainable on peatlands. The results showed that soil pH increased after the change of land function. While the water content decreased. Chemical properties such as C-organic, ash content, CEC, alkaline saturation, macro nutrients (NPK) and bases can be changed also undergo changes after undergoing landuse changes, but no violations based on the law made by the government in pp No 25 of 2000 on the criteria of peatland damage and government regulation no. 150 of 2000 on the control of soil damage for biomass production. Sago is the most sustainable plant compared to others due to changes in soil chemical properties not too much different from other landuse although planted in the long term.

Anaemia is an important complication of malaria, and its pathogenesis is not well understood. High level of the Th2 cytokine (such as IL-10), which counteract the Th1 cytokine, might prevent the development of severe malarial anaemia. The purpose of this study was to know the comparation between the plasma level of IL-10 in malaria patients with anaemia and without anaemia. The plasma level of IL-10 was examined in 16 malaria patients with anaemia and 16 malaria caused by P. falciparum patients without anaemia samplestaken from patients at the primary health centres in West Lombok and Centre Lombok during March until July 2008. The samples were measured using ELISA. The concentration of haemoglobin (Hb) was measured using hematological analyzer. The anaemia concentration of Hb is <11 g/dL. The results were analyzed using two (2) sample t test with SPSS ver.13.The plasma level of IL-10 in malaria patients caused by P. falciparum with anaemia was 8.81(3.04) [mean(SD)] pg/mL where as the plasma level of IL-10 in malaria patients without anaemia was 47.99(25.26) pg/mL. The mean of IL-10 level in malaria falciparum patients with anaemia was significantly lower than that of malaria patients caused by P. falciparum without anaemia (p=0.000).

Coronary stenosis is one of the major causes of death from heart disease. The gold standard of coronary stenosis diagnosis is established with angiography, however it is invasively, complicated and expensive. Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase proteinthat appears as chronic and acute inflammatory agent that is specific to the process of stenosis development. Serum Amyloidal A test method is noninvasive, relatively easy and affordable. The aim of this study was to know the differences of Serum Amyloid A levels in patients with nonstenosis and coronary stenosis in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital  Yogyakarta by determination. The study is a case control study. The samples were selected consecutively with typical chest pain, were divided into two (2) groups of nonstenosis and stenosis by coronary angiography test. The principal of the Serum Amyloid A test is ELISA method. Nonstenosis and coronary stenosis groups were analyzed by mean of Serum Amyloid A level based on the angiography test. The data were analyzed with Independent t-test, odds ratio with a significancy of p <0.05 and confidence interval 95%. The samples of this study consisted of 60 patients, divided into nonstenosis and coronary stenosis. The analysis of Independent t tests showed significant differences between the subject SAA levels of nonstenosis and stenosis (4.35 ug/mL vs 21.75 mg/mL, p=0.001, with an odds ratio 9.84 (CI 95% 2.38 to 40.73). Based on this study, it can be conclued that the results indicate significantly higher level of Amyloid A Serum among the coronary stenosis compared to the nonstenosis.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) type 2 is a metabolic disease that prevalence increasing. A chronic hyperglycemia with poor glycemic control can stimulate oxidative stress, which will continue to occurrence of complications in the kidneys characterized by the presenceof microalbuminuria can be measured by the ratio of urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) and the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The aims of this study was to know the correlation between the UACR with HbA1c value and eGFR in patients with type 2 DM by finding them out. This study used cross sectional research design. Subjects were patients with type 2 DM who attend control in Endocrinology Subdivision of Internal Medicine Departement and perform blood and urine tests in Clinical Pathology Laboratory in Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta in August 2013. To determine the pattern of the data distribution, the researchers used KolmogorovSmirnov test, and to analyse the result used Spearman (r) correlation with p<0.05 and confidence interval 95%. Statistical analysis using Spearman correlation test (r), significant when p<0.05 with 95% confidence intervals. From 68 samples examined the mean age is 60.9 year old, with equal participants for male and female (34 subjects each). Most subjects were in poor glycemic control group (72.1%) and in the range of microalbuminuria (44.1%). There was a significant correlation between UACR with HbA1c and eGFR in type 2 DM patient (r=0.412, p=0.000; and r= -0.270, p=0.02, respectively). Based on this study it can be concluded that increased UACR were associated with worsened glycemic control and were characterized by higher levels of HbA1c and its eGFR value would be lower. Further analysis requires further research with a larger sample size and more attention to the factors that may affect the related examination
