Decarbonizing FPSO Power Plants: The Case for Combined Cycle and Electric-Motor Driven EMD Compression
Authors: Bowman Travis
Published: April 2022

Open (i.e., simple) cycle gas turbines (GTs) have been the preferred means of power generation on floating, production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels over the past two decades. GT-based packages offer several advantages over other widely used power solutions, such as gas engines and diesel gensets - including high power density, increased availability, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In recent years, however, with many offshore operators establishing targets for environmental footprint reductions, new pathways for decarbonization are being evaluated. Combined cycle (i.e., the addition of a steam bottoming cycle to an open cycle GT) is a concept that has been widely employed in onshore industrial applications and is now garnering more interest in the offshore segment.

This paper discusses the benefits combined cycle power plants can provide when compared to open cycle GTs and outlines installation and operability considerations for both greenfields and brownfields. In certain applications, the combined cycle power plant design may allow compression duties to be met with electric motors instead of gas turbines. Aside from operational advantages, such as increased availability and efficiency, and better turndown capabilities, this provides the added benefit of centralizing and optimizing emissions on the facility. It also enables more effective emissions monitoring and control.

The paper will also discuss how digital monitoring and control systems can be applied to ensure that gas turbines are running at optimal setpoints relative to ambient conditions and current power demand. In this way, all GTs in the power plant can be operated (collectively) in the most fuel-efficient manner, thus contributing to further emissions reductions.
Reducing Offshore Logistics Emissions Through Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Vedat Kris , Eldred Morgan , Thatcher Jimmy , Rehman Abdul , Anjum Hassaan
Published: April 2022

This paper explores two case studies indicating how artificial intelligence can be used to automate, predict, and optimize the complexities within offshore logistics. It focuses on Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) fleet management with multiple points of delivery, spread out across geographic locations, each location needing specific cargo items within a given time window. The study indicates how this can free up assets and reduce fuel consumption, ultimately driving cost reductions and enabling supply-chain efficiency by redeploying assets.

The first use case shows the effect of applying these methods within a ‘greenfield’ environment. That is, we assume that our constraint parameters are generally flexible or, at least, can be modified by the operator within some reasonable bounds. For example, we might consider that a vessel can depart from a port any day of the week rather than be bound to a specific day, or that deliveries can happen at night and not only during the day. Thus, the first use case is answering the question "what would the efficiency gain be if we allow enough flexibility in our operations to adapt to the output of the model?"

The second use case shows the effect of applying these methods with a ‘brownfield’ environment wherein our operational constraint parameters are not generally able to be modified to adapt to the model output. For example, we might have an assumption of the type that "port departures are only allowed on Thursdays." Thus, even if the model suggested that departing three days a week would lead to an optimal outcome, we would not allow ourselves to change from the set departure dates.
Quantitative Interpretation in Support of the Energy Transition
Authors: Gelinsky Stephan
Published: April 2022

Quantitative Interpretation (QI) is the commonly used name for an integrative geoscience discipline that connects seismic data with other data from a variety of different sources and different scales to allow geoscientists to derisk the subsurface. Historically, the majority of the energy industry's QI work was performed to support the exploration for hydrocarbons, the cost-effective hydrocarbon resource development, and hydrocarbon production monitoring. In recognition of the role hydrocarbon related CO2 emissions play with accelerating global warming, the energy industry and supporting stakeholders have embarked on an ambitious journey to supply the global economy with energy with increasingly lower carbon dioxide emissions. The energy transition that leads us from a past focused on fossil fuels to a future dominated by a variety of low- or zero-carbon emission technologies provides for plenty of challenges and opportunities – this also holds true for the QI community of practice that is eager to become a relevant and supportive partner in this transition. Here, we describe differences and similarities between QI for the hydrocarbon E&P lifecycle and in support of CCUS and renewable energy resources. While it is indeed possible to adapt existing QI workflows for subsurface exploration, characterization, and monitoring to several of the energy transition challenges, some effort is needed to do so successfully.

The need to reduce costs, to increase the attractiveness of development projects in the mature fields environment is a necessary condition to allow the incorporation of new reserves and has led the oil industry to seek better practices in well construction. This paper presents the implementation of an adapted Zero-Base Budget (ZBB) methodology, which guided Petrobras to establish lean (but still viable) cost targets. This is one of the initiatives that constitutes Petrobras' RES20 Program, whose ambition is enabling 20 billion equivalent barrels of new reserves by the year 2030.

Through a multidisciplinary effort, the ZBB identifies the lowest CAPEX well design, where some optimizations are considered, keeping the focus on safety.

As an example of such new practices, we present in this paper one new design example applied to post-salt scenario, called TOT-3P. It is based on drilling the well in 3 sections and setting 2 casings, completing it by running in hole lower and upper completion together (TOT - True One Trip). The well design of 7-GLF-49H-ESS is a real example of this concept implementation, originally approved with an estimated average duration of 96.6 days. The original scope included drilling in 4 sections, with a pilot well and Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completion. Applying one of ZBB’s pillar, which considers the simplest feasible design, the well was built in 43.7 days, resulting in more than 50% time reduction. According to an external database, this duration is a "best in class", when compared to the industry, confirming the methodology potential to achieve the mature field’s economical requirements.

Application of the proposed ZBB methodology in 19 fields of Petrobras’ portfolio, for pre-and post-salt scenarios, revealed a potential average reduction of 50% when compared to the field historical durations, considering all potential optimizations that could be implemented.

Since the incorporation of the optimizations depends on the wells features, given that ZBB assumes some premises to adopt the lowest CAPEX design, a gap analysis becomes necessary in order to identify which optimizations can be incorporated. A list of 13 wells from 3 mature fields was analyzed, resulting in a maximum expected investment reduction of 29%.

The potential cost reduction associated with well project ZBB optimization presents itself as a key enabler of mature fields re-development, that will allow for the incorporation of important volumes of reserves, increase the recovery factor in mature fields and reach the targets of the RES20 program.

Published: April 2022

Background: The occurrence of high titres of alpha (anti-A) and beta (anti-B) haemolysin immunoglobulin G antibodies in blood causes haemolysis during blood transfusion from a group O donor, commonly and inappropriately known as the ‘universal blood donor’, to a group A, B or AB recipient. Surprisingly, haemolysin testing is not routinely done during blood transfusion services in Bamenda, Cameroon.Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of haemolysin among blood group ‘O’ donors at the Regional Hospital Bamenda Blood Bank, Bamenda, Cameroon.Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out between June and September 2020 at the Regional Hospital Bamenda Blood Bank, Bamenda, Cameroon. Blood group O donors who were free from transfusion-transmissible infections were selected systematically and serially and their serum tested for the presence of haemolysin. Haemolysin titres were determined, and titres ≥ 8 were considered significant. The associations between haemolysin prevalence and age group, gender and Rhesus D blood group were determined using the chi-square test.Results: The prevalence of haemolysin among the 480 study participants was 52.1% and significant haemolysin titres were detected in 18.5%. There was no association between haemolysin and gender, age group or the Rhesus D blood group.Conclusion: The prevalence of significant titres of haemolysin among participants in this study was high. There is the need to test for haemolysin in blood group O donors to prevent the potential risk to blood group A, B, and AB recipients and to provide safer blood for transfusion.
Is the leadership performance of public service executive managers related to their emotional intelligence?
Authors: Haricharan Shanil J.
Published: April 2022

Orientation: Growing evidence indicates a positive relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and leadership performance. However, in non-Western public service contexts, scholarship on the nature of this bivariate relationship trails behind.Research purpose: Using the behavioural EI model, this study examined the relationships between EI competencies and leadership performance of executive managers in the South African public service.Motivation for the study: A significant bivariate relationship using the behavioural EI model implies empirical significance and practical implications for policy and leadership development in the public service.Research approach/design and method: The multi-rater Emotional and Social Competence Inventory (ESCI) measured EI competencies of 35 executive managers rated by 230 respondents. Multi-source nominations from 371 respondents measured leadership performance. Five study hypotheses were tested using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients and analysis of variance.Main findings: The results indicated significant positive correlations between leadership performance and all four EI clusters of competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. Of the 12 EI competencies, adaptability, inspirational leadership, emotional self-awareness and positive outlook displayed the strongest correlations. Also, a significant negative relationship between the managers’ competency gap and (self-other agreement) their performance was observed.Practical/managerial implications: The results have implications for management and leadership development and recruitment in the public service.Contribution/value-add: Using the behavioural method, this quantitative study validated the positive relationship between EI and leadership performance in the South African public service.
Case report of delayed metastasis from thyroid micropapillary carcinoma to the deltoid muscle in a patient with thyroglobulin elevated negative iodine scintigraphy (TENIS)
Authors: Ramachandran Riju , Pillai Anoop Vasudevan , Samuel Sanju
Published: April 2022

Differentiated thyroid cancers are common but distant metastasis to the muscles is rare. We present a case of 64-year-old male who underwent thyroidectomy for a suspicious thyroid lesion. His histopathology was reported as widely invasive follicular carcinoma of the thyroid with a focus of micropapillary carcinoma (MPC). He underwent radioiodine ablation. On follow-up, he had a serial increase in thyroglobulin but a whole-body radioiodine scan failed to detect any lesion. An 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography scan picked up a lesion in the left deltoid muscle. An intraoperative ultrasound localization was done and the nonpalpable lesion was successfully removed surgically. The deltoid lesion was a delayed metastasis of a thyroid MPC. A rising thyroglobulin level in a patient with negative iodine scintigraphy warrants further evaluation with PET since rare distant metastasis may be present. A surgeon performing intraoperative ultrasound is useful in effectively identifying and removing occult lesions with small incisions.

Changes in Housing Discourse in Four Czech Municipalities. Will Young People Get Support?
Authors: Ryšavý Dan , Sedláková Renáta
Published: April 2022

In post-communist countries, the early years of housing policy after 1989 were characterised by the withdrawal of the state. Municipalities played an important role in the housing privatisation process in the Czech Republic. Thirty years later, a global boom in housing prices occurred in major urban centres. Young people are facing the problem of decreasing housing affordability. The analyses of the programme statements of electoral parties and coalition agreements in selected regional centres reveals the issue’s increasing saliency as well as a change in the overall discourse of housing. Moreover, local path dependencies and ways of bridging ideological differences in a coalition are explained. Electoral programmes tend to focus on young families rather than young people in general. In the crisis of housing affordability, those groups that have something to offer cities are preferred in party programme statements.
Digitalisation and Law: The More Things Change – the More They Stay the Same
Authors: Pečarič Mirko , Kovač Polonca , Umek Lan , Ravšelj Dejan
Published: April 2022

Based on the notorious fact of our era digitalisation, this paper is focused on the probability of relations between the notions of law and digital era government (DEG), as they are found in the scientific literature. Out of the total of 3917 articles that were identified in the Scopus database as relevant in DEG research, 77 of them were further considered due to their connectedness between legal notions and notions of DEG. Results show a very modest presence of law in DEG literature. Based on this, the paper confirms Collingridge’s dilemma of control and gives answers on the cross-disciplinary interconnection of law and IT, how digital dimensions and technology are addressed in the law, and whether the latter pursues modernisation or just reflects existing public governance principles. However, results based on a literature review may not be always aligned with the practical effects of digitalisation in society.

The circular saw is a tool commonly used for wood processing. It may be presented at different models. Considering their specificities, they can generate different amount of waste. The objective of this study was to evaluate the generation of waste from Tectona grandis L. f. and Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis, processed with two saws of the multiple type (48 and 36 teeth) and one of the universal type (28 teeth). The cutting process followed in grain direction into ninety samples, 15 for each species and saw, until the sample was completely processed. The processing time was measured and the waste was collected in each operation. ANOVA and test of multiple comparison of averages were applied. The influence of the teeth number and type of saw on the amount of waste generated was verified. The universal saw was the one that generated the highest amount of waste. It reached up to 116% more than the multiple saw, that generated the lowest amount of waste (36 teeth). P. caribaea var. hondurensis generated 7% more waste and presented shorter processing time (22%), when compared to T. grandis.

Developers’ platform aims to solve the most crucial and most common problem of almost all software developers in the field of Information Technology. Many researchers have worked on comparable applications and have identified some key issues and solutions. Some of them worked on analyzing the emotions of questions posted on various platforms, such as Stack Overflow. Software developers frequently ask questions on the Stack Overflow site and the uploaded questions sometimes may not always follow the conventional rules. We have used various technologies to build this platform like React Native, NodeJS, Tensorflow and MongoDB. The AI empowered developers’ platform will literally help all the software engineers to definitely achieve accuracy and consistency in work, it will essentially help specifically maintain a healthy developers’ com- munity where even a newbie can definitely start and actually grow by learning various software related work, which generally is quite significant. To encourage software engineers to come to this platform there are various reward points and also if a company wants to hire engineers based on their skill set, they can get the list of top users on this platform (category wise) who are actively contributing to this community and solving complex problems day-to-day, this makes work easy for both the company and the users who are signed up.

FORMATION EVALUATION IN MATURE FIELDS
Authors: BOYD AUSTIN
Published: April 2022

FORMATION EVALUATION IN MATURE FIELDS CAN BRING MANY CHALLENGES COMPARED TO EVALUATING NEW DISCOVERIES. THESE INCLUDE ANALYZING LOG DATA OF VARYING VINTAGES WHERE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, LOWER VERTICAL RESOLUTION AND SHALLOWER DEPTH OF INVESTIGATION HAVE A GREATER IMPACT ON THE DATA THAN WITH MODERN LOGS. IF NEW WELLS ARE DRILLED AND LOGGED WITH MODERN SENSORS THAT ARE LESS AFFECTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, THIS CAN BE OFFSET BY THE UNCERTAINTY FROM THE CHANGES IN FLUID PROPERTIES OF FORMATION WATER AND HYDROCARBONS DUE TO PRESSURE DEPLETION, WATER FLOODING AND/OR GAS INJECTION. IF NO NEW WELLS ARE DRILLED, CASED HOLE LOGGING CAN BE USED ON EXISTING WELLS TO RE-EVALUATE THE REMAINING OIL IN PLACE, BUT THIS CAN BRING ADDITIONAL INTERPRETATION CHALLENGES DUE TO CEMENT QUALITY ISSUES, PERFORATIONS, DOWNHOLE COMPLETION HARDWARE AND VARYING WELL-BORE FLUIDS. EVEN WITH THESE CHALLENGES, THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY IN MATURE FIELDS THAT JUSTIFY EITHER CASED LOGGING ON OLDER WELLS OR DRILLING NEW WELLS TO EVALUATE THE REMAINING OIL IN PLACE. EVALUATING THE DATA FROM EITHER SCENARIO CAN BE FACILITATED WITH RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND TOOL RESPONSE MODELING FOR THE EXPECTED DOWNHOLE WELL-BORE CONDITIONS AND FORMATION FLUIDS FOR BOTH OPEN-HOLE AND CASED HOLE LOGGING AND SHOULD PROVIDE MORE ACCURATE ANALYSIS FOR MATURE FIELD DEVELOPMENT PLANNING.

Published: April 2022

The management of goods inventory at PT EDS Manufacturing Indonesia (PEMI) is still manual, on the other hand there is no policy that regulates what methods can be used to forecast the inventory of goods and also the absence of an estimate of the number of goods that will be purchased by customers so that the number of goods, inventory is often mistaken and causes a buildup of goods in the warehouse. For that, a method is needed that can be systemized according to sales data in the forecasting of goods inventory. There are several methods that can be implemented including Weight Moving Average and Double Exponential Smoothing. The Weight Moving Average method is a method that gives different weights to each historical while the Double Exponential Smoothing method is a method that has a smoothing value twice at the time before the actual data. The data used in this study is quarterly before the forecasting. This thesis aims to design and build a web-based application using the Weight Moving Average and Double Exponential Smoothing methods, the results of the two methods compared to find out which forecasting results have the smallest error value, where the smallest error value can be referenced for the upcoming inventory of goods
Rancang Bangun Sistem Informasi Administrasi Tamu Menggunakan RUP (Rational Unified Process) Pada Losmen Wedy Jaya

Published: April 2022

Guest data processing at Wedy Jaya Inn is not in accordance with today's technological developments. In processing guest data, the receptionist still uses a notebook to record guest reservation data and to perform check-in and check-out transactions for inn guests. This research was conducted using the RUP (Rational Unified Process) model research method. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation and literature study. The problem is that the guest administration process and data processing are still manual, starting from guest data to storing other data related to transactions to making reports. So because it is possible during the process there is an error in recording, less accurate reports are made and delays in the required search. Then there is no online room availability checking system which makes guests have to come directly to the Wedy Jaya inn to check if there are still rooms available and this can take a lot of time. The solution is to create a website-based system for inn guest data processing that will make it easier for receptionists to collect reservation data, input check-in and check-out of inn guests. Designing a database that will accommodate all data related to reservations, check-in and check-out of inn guests. A website-based system for inn guest data processing can simplify and speed up the tasks of the receptionist in data collection of reservations, check-in and check-out of inn guests as well as in making reports needed by inn owners and employees as well as providing a system that can be used to check room availability using the RUP method.

The rapid development of technology plays an important role in the rapid exchange of information. In sending information in the form of images, there are still problems, including because of the large size of the image so that the solution to this problem is to perform compression. In this thesis, we will implement and compare the performance of the Arithmetic Coding and Shannon-Fano algorithms by calculating the compression ratio, compressed file size, compression and decompression process speed. Based on all test results, that the Arithmetic Coding algorithm produces an average compression ratio of 62.88% and a Shannon-Fano compression ratio of 61.73%, then Arithmetic Coding the average speed in image compression is 0.072449 seconds and Shannon-Fano 0.077838 second. Then the Shannon-Fano algorithm has an average speed for decompression of 0.028946 seconds and the Arithmetic Coding algorithm 0.034169 seconds. The decompressed image on the Arithmetic Coding and Shannon-Fano algorithm is in accordance with the original image. It can be concluded from the test results that the Arithmetic Coding algorithm is more efficient in compressing *.png images than the Shannon-Fano algorithm, although in terms of decompression Shannon-Fanose is a little faster compared to Arithmetic Coding.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang meneliti kondisi obyek yang alamiah di lapangan. Obyek penelitiannya implementasi kebijakan tata kelola reklame di Kabupaten  Sleman pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Mengacu pada tujuan penelitian, maka menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Lokasi penelitian di Kabupaten Sleman, khususnya dinas terkait kegiatan tata kelola/penyelenggaraan reklame di Kabupaten Sleman.  Informan yang dipilih  dengan metode purposive, memilih subyek-subyek yang dianggap terkait erat dengan tata kelola reklame, yaitu para pelaksana, pengusaha dan pengguna reklame.  Teknik pengumpulan data yang  digunakan dengan wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi.  Analisis data menggunakan analisis data model Miles dan Huberman, yaitu analisis data secara interaktif melalui reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Sejumlah kendala yang dapat dipetakan dalam implementasi kebijakan ini adalah perubahan regulasi dari pusat mengharuskan pemerintah daerah untuk menyesuaikan regulasi yang sudah ada. Sumber daya manusia tahap pengawasan masih kurang memadai, sumber daya anggaran yang terbatas karena adanya refocusing anggaran untuk penanganan Covid-19, sumber daya peralatan tahap pengawasan dan penertiban belum memadai serta informasi yang kurang lengkap menjadikan kegiatan tata kelola reklame tidak optimal.  Implementasi kebijakan tata kelola reklame di Kabupayen Sleman tidak dapat lepas dari pengaruh kepentingan dari luar birokrasi (fragmentasi). Fragmentasi ini berupa permintaan penundaan, tekanan pemilik reklame yang “dinaungi kekuatan besar”, kelompok organisasi masyarakat yang mem-back up reklame tersebut sehingga tata kelola reklame tidak dapat berjalan sesuai dengan target yang ditetapkan.

Controversies in Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Authors:   Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota School of Medicine, Minneapolis, Yannopoulos Demetris
Published: April 2022

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the emergent deployment of VA-ECMO for refractory cardiac arrest. Observational and randomized trial data show that ECPR may improve outcomes compared to conventional CPR (CCPR), but many questions and controversies remain. Patient selection is a critical determinant of ECPR success. Most institutions implement inclusion/exclusion criteria, but risk scores may be more apt to correctly predict which patients are likely to benefit from ECPR. Good outcomes from ECPR occur more often in patients with an initially shockable rhythm, reversible etiology of arrest, evidence of effective CPR, and shorter durations of conventional CPR. Shorter total CPR duration is consistently associated with neurologically favorable survival, but optimal and upper limit timing at which the benefits of ECPR outweigh the risks continue to be delineated. Data are emerging regarding pre-hospital implementation of ECPR as a strategy to reduce low-flow time. Vascular access for ECPR can be challenging, particularly in the pediatric population. In adults, percutaneous cannulation of the femoral vessels under fluoroscopic guidance and performed by a small group of highly skilled operators may increase success rates and reduce complications. Data are limited regarding post-arrest care for the ECPR patient, particularly regarding temperature management and anticoagulation. Compared to other resource-intensive therapies, ECPR is cost-effective by modern standards.

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience which is the result of stimulus by damaged tissue or chemical mediators which can be experienced by range of intensity, quality, duration, distribution and location. Pain can be resolved pharmacologically by non-opioid (NSAID, salicylates) or opioid (morphine) drugs. Alternatively, pain also can be resolved by non-pharmacological intervention such as hot/cold compress, TENS, behavior therapy, or relaxation therapy. Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium), generally used as spices in North Sumatera, also can be utilized as pain killer (analgesic). Objective: To determine the effectivity of Andaliman fruit extract (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium) as analgesic in mice (Mus muscular). Methods: This research is an experimental study with posttest only control group design. Experiment conducted to the mice by using 1% acetate acid to induce pain and then intervened by using mefenamic acid or Andaliman fruit extract in different doses and followed by observation of the pain response for 60 minutes with 5 minutes intervals between observation.
