A Machine-Learning Approach to Predict Gas-Oil Ratio Based on Advanced Mud Gas Data
Authors:   Equinor ASA, Arief Ibnu Hafidz , Yang Tao ,   Equinor ASA
Published: August 2024

Mud gas data from drilling operations provide the first indication of hydrocarbons in the reservoir. It has been a dream for decades in the oil industry to predict reservoir gas and oil properties from mud gas data because it would provide knowledge of the reservoir fluid properties in an early stage, continuously for all reservoir zones, and at low costs. Previous efforts reported in the literature did not lead to a reliable method for quantitative prediction of the reservoir fluid properties from mud gas data. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on machine learning that enables us to predict gas-oil ratio (GOR) from advanced mud gas (AMG) data. The current work is based on a previous successful pilot in unconventional (shale) reservoirs to predict GOR from the C1 to C5 compositions present in AMG data. We aim to extend the results of the pilot study to conventional reservoirs. In general, the prediction of reservoir fluid properties is more challenging for conventional reservoirs than for unconventional reservoirs due to the complexity of petroleum systems in conventional reservoirs. Instead of building a model directly from AMG data, we trained a machine-learning model using a well-established database of reservoir fluid with more than ,000 pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) samples. After a thorough investigation of the compositional similarity of C1 to C5 between PVT samples and AMG data, we applied the model developed from PVT samples to AMG data. The predicted GORs from AMG data were compared with GOR measurements from corresponding PVT samples to assess the accuracy of the GOR predictions. The results from 22 wells with both AMG data and corresponding PVT samples show a large agreement between prediction and measurement. The accuracy of the predictive model (MAPE 35%) has a significant improvement compared to the results from existing empirical correlations reported in the literature (MAPE 60%). In addition, a quality check (QC) metric was developed to efficiently flag low-quality AMG data. The QC metric is vital to give a confidence level for GOR prediction based on AMG data when PVT samples are not available. This study confirms that AMG data can be used as a new data source to quantitatively predict continuous reservoir fluid properties in the drilling phase for conventional reservoirs. The new method can provide early access to reservoir fluid distribution for optimization of wireline operations for exploration wells. GOR prediction based on the new method can be used for real-time decisions on well placement, perforation, completion, and potential sidetracks for production wells. After high-quality PVT data become available from the wireline logging or production phase, the continuous GOR prediction can be further improved and used for reservoir management and production optimization.

The “bit burn” effect occurs when drilling efficiency decreases due to bit wearing, and therefore frictional effects increase. The increase of these frictional effects generates high temperatures, and unsaturated hydrocarbons and hydrogen start to be generated due to thermal cracking. Integrated analysis of alkenes (ethylene and propylene) and hydrogen artificially generated downhole with drilling parameters and saturated hydrocarbon data would refine the analysis for real-time monitoring of bit condition and, hence, drilling efficiency. Optimized extraction techniques are used to obtain a steady flow at constant volume and temperature of gas from the flowline. The concentration of these artificially generated gases is measured in real time, as well as naturally occurring saturated hydrocarbons, using three different chromatographs, two of them having optimized adapted columns that allow the separation of the different gasses. This is especially critical in the case of ethylene and propylene and their respective saturated counterparts. Finally, dedicated software allows integration with drilling parameters to determine any decrease in drilling efficiency. Real-time advanced gas detection (alkenes and hydrogen) was used while drilling. Integrated real-time advanced gas readings (alkenes and hydrogen) have been compared to the standard gas chromatography composition (methane through pentane) measured at the same time. The correlation between the trends from the two techniques was clearly identified. Data interpretation demonstrated evidence that hydrogen and unsaturated hydrocarbons presented across some drilling sections are not naturally occurring but a product of bit metamorphism in the presence of oil-based mud (OBM); in the case of water-based mud (WBM), another approach is under research and is not covered in this article. The origin of this cracked gas throughout the reservoir section has been confirmed by bit grading at surface, with high bit wear confirmed. This kind of analysis can provide an enhanced tool to estimate bit wear and optimize drilling costs in real time and avoid potentially substantial nonproductive time (NPT) that can arise from prolonged drilling with a worn bit. The method is low risk and cost effective, as it is not necessary to use any downhole tools, and all data can be provided by equipment already present in advanced mud-logging units.
Reservoir Fluid Data Acquisition Using Advanced Mud-Logging Gas in Shale Reservoirs

Oil production from shale reservoirs has increased dramatically in recent years. To identify drilling targets and optimize well completions, it is important to get early access to reservoir fluid properties. However, due to the low permeability of shale reservoirs, fluid samples often become available only after the most important development decisions have been made. Therefore, it has been an abiding challenge in the industry how to acquire fluid properties data earlier in shale reservoirs. Mud-logging gas data acquired while drilling provide the earliest hydrocarbon response from the reservoir. In an earlier study, we demonstrated that advanced mud gas data have a large potential to predict reservoir fluid properties. In general, fluid properties are strongly correlated with the thermal maturity of the source rock. In shale reservoirs, reservoir fluids are still in the source rock, as low permeability limits the migration and convection of the reservoir fluids. As a result, the reservoir fluid systems in shale reservoirs are relatively undisturbed and have a high degree of consistency. This provides the possibility to correlate advanced mud-logging gas data and reservoir fluid properties. Based on a reservoir fluid database with more than 60 samples from different shale reservoirs, we developed a machine-learning algorithm to predict fluid properties from advanced mud-logging gas data. The accuracy of the new method is significantly improved compared with the previous model, which used an explicit correlation based on wetness. In addition, the new approach is more general and does not depend on a specific shale reservoir. We applied the new model to 11 wells with advanced mud-logging gas data. The predicted gas-oil ratios (GOR) are close to the measurement from early production data when advanced mud-logging gas data are of good quality. This publication demonstrates that advanced mud-logging gas data can be used to predict reservoir fluid properties in shale reservoirs. Such an approach provides a novel and cost-efficient solution for the sampling challenges in the early phase. In addition, the method provides continuous fluid data along the entire well, as opposed to a single fluid sample taken at a specific location. Hence, the results provide insight into the fluid distribution in shale reservoirs. The method can be widely used for sweet spot identification and optimizing fracking strategy in shale reservoirs.

The current gas logging electric degasser is susceptible to various factors, such as drilling fluid displacement, drilling fluid level height, motor speed, and drilling fluid properties. Consequently, the degassing efficiency varies, and quantification is poor. The gas chromatographic analysis time is lengthy, the gas path structure is complex, and the operation process is intricate. These factors distort gas measurement data and compromise the accuracy of hydrocarbon discovery and interpretation. To address these issues associated with traditional logging equipment, a novel gas logging instrument based on semipermeable film degasser and infrared spectroscopy has been developed. This instrument utilizes the principle of quantitative separation of gas and liquid through a semipermeable membrane combined with rapid and highly sensitive infrared spectroscopic analysis for precise gas characterization. Laboratory and field tests demonstrate excellent repeatability and stability of this instrument while meeting the detection range requirements for alkane gas concentration in oil fields. Comparison between the hydrocarbon curves obtained from both electric degasser and membrane degassing reveals similar trends; however, the latter provides more comprehensive information.

Published: August 2024

The article describes the GITS seismic monitoring system developed by VNIMI, which has been providing continuous monitoring of seismic activities and regional-level forecast of rock-bump hazards within the mining allotment of the International underground mine under commercial operation since April 2022. The methodology of observations is presented, as well as results of analysing the obtained data in terms of the energy and spatial characteristics of seismic events. A solution is proposed to the problem of determining the velocity characteristics of the host rocks in the upper and lower parts of the mine using information on the seismic event parameters obtained from the GITS system, and a preliminary assessment is given of the velocity characteristics of the rock mass. The data obtained at the current stage of research for two limited areas can be applied to assess the long-term state and behaviour of the rock mass. For the further monitoring purposes, such observations can be divided into a local-level forecasting network customised for minor events and a regional-level mine-wide seismic activity monitoring network configured to record major (500 J and greater) events, including the regional-scale earthquakes.

Authors: Prasetyo Yogi
Published: August 2024

Local Election is considered not to reflect democracy, there are still obstacles in the form of a large percentage of support requirements that make it difficult for independent candidates. Responding to these problems, this study aims to explain the large percentage of support requirements that are burdensome for independent candidates and the importance of independent candidates in the local election. The research method used is literature study with a legal philosophy approach. The data are literature literacy materials related to the research theme. The results showed that the percentage of support for independent candidates in the local election was considered too large. So that it hinders and makes independent candidates unable to become candidates in the elections. This kills the life of democracy that is being built by Indonesia. Whereas the existence of independent candidates is important as a counterweight and a new color giver in the political saturation of the old ways that do not produce quality leaders. It is necessary to change the percentage of support for independent candidates so as not to hinder democracy.

Published: August 2024

After the Constitutional Court Decision No.93/PUU-X/2012, there were still sharia banking disputes, which were resolved through the General Courts. As in the Padang District Court Decision No. 27/Pdt.G.S/2022/PN Pdg. This study aims to unravel the intersection of jurisdiction in resolving sharia banking disputes after Constitutional Court Decision. This study uses normative juridical methods. The results of the study show that after the Constitutional Court Decision, there is still legal uncertainty in the settlement of sharia banking disputes due to the existence of Article 50 paragraph (2) of the Law 7/1989 on Religious Courts. These provisions have resulted in a blurring of the points of contact for the authority to adjudicate the Religious Courts and the General Courts in resolving property rights disputes, unlawful acts disputes (PMH), and consumer disputes.

Compatible Effects Enhance Short-Term Action-Effect Binding
Authors: Mocke Viola , Kunde Wilfried , Schreiner Marcel Raphael
Published: August 2024

Each action results in a variety of effects, and the extent to which an effect is compatible with the action that produced it may influence the strength of the link between the action and the effect in memory. Two experiments addressed this role of action-effect compatibility on the acquisition of action-effect bindings and the retrieval of actions upon reencountering their effects. Participants engaged in a sequential prime-probe task. In prime trials, a freely chosen keypress caused a spatially (in)compatible box movement followed by the presentation of a word. In the subsequent probe trials, another free-choice action was to be executed upon presentation of the same or a different word. Overall, when prime words repeated in the probe, participants were more likely to also repeat the action, indicating action retrieval by effect presentation. Importantly, this influence was larger after compatible than after incompatible prime episodes. Possibly, compatible effects were more strongly bound to their corresponding actions than incompatible effects, leading to higher rates of action retrieval when the same effects were reencountered. However, the influence of AEC did not extend to the declarative memory for effect identities. These findings suggest that, in short-term contexts, action-effect compatibility plays a crucial role in action-effect binding and retrieval.

Published: August 2024

Our percept of the world is the result of interactions between central and peripheral vision. They can be facilitatory, because central vision is informative about what is in the periphery, or detrimental, for example when shape elements are pooled. We introduce a novel phenomenon, in which elements in the central region impair perception in the periphery (Central Region Interference with Periphery: CRIP). We showed participants a squared grid containing small lines (vertical or diagonal) or crosses in the central region and diagonal lines in the periphery. The regions were divided by a gap which varied in size and position. Participants reported the orientation of the diagonal lines in the periphery (/ or \). The central pattern caused interference and hindered discrimination. The smaller the gap the larger the impairment, independently of the eccentricity of the peripheral elements. The impairment was only present when the central and peripheral were diagonal lines, suggesting that orientation plays a role in the CRIP effect. Surprisingly, performance was worse if central and peripheral lines had the same orientation. We conclude that people do not rely on extrapolation when perceiving elements in the periphery, and that iso-orientation may cause greater interference.

Published: August 2024

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of seismic resistance and cost efficiency in lift core construction using masonry wall-column systems and shear wall systems. High-rise structures' lift cores are crucial vertical conduits that provide the necessary structural stability. To support the best practices in building design and construction, the seismic performance and financial effects of various lift-core construction techniques are examined. The study compares the seismic resistance implied on a structure by lift cores built with masonry wall-column systems, which combine load-bearing masonry walls with reinforced vertical columns to lift cores built with shear wall systems, which rely on reinforced concrete to withstand lateral forces. Analytical modeling and simulation approaches are used to evaluate seismic performance in scenarios involving severe earthquakes. A variety of loads, including dead loads, live loads, partition loads, wind loads, seismic loads, and load combinations that were pursued in accordance with BNBC 2020 standards, have been applied to both types of structures. Four required metrics were evaluated for the analysis of both structures: storey drift, overturning moment, storey shear, and storey stiffness. Furthermore, a thorough cost study is performed to evaluate the two building systems' economic viability. Each method's associated material costs for the construction of the lift core are taken into account in the analysis. By conducting thorough research, we summarized that although masonry wall lift cores with columns at four corners act better resistant to seismic action, the Shear wall lift core system overall performed better as it is more economically feasible and it's decent resistant to seismic force. The findings of this study provide important insights into the trade-offs between seismic performance and cost efficiency when choosing lift-core construction techniques. The findings are intended to help engineers, architects, and developers make informed judgments about building safety and economic sustainability in seismically-prone places.
Measuring Media’s Ecological Effects
Authors: QIN Abby Youran
Published: August 2024

While media effects on individuals have been extensively studied, media effects on places are mainly examined by research on global media systems. We still lack a nuanced understanding of media’s ecological functions in more fine-grained geographical units. Answering such questions requires a shift in focus from individuals to ecologies/places, and accordingly, a methodological transition from traditional analyses to spatial analyses. In this chapter, I provide an example of spatial analysis in journalism research by studying whether local news ecologies influence non-institutional political engagement in the U.S. First, I explain and demonstrate the differences of three spatial autoregressive models – Spatial Lag of X, Spatial Lag of Y, and Spatial Durbin – in estimating the general relationships between ecological factors and political engagement. Then, I use geographically weighted regression to reveal how these relationships differ from place to place. Overall, news-rich places tend to see a higher volume of non-institutional political engagement, and the pattern applies to most parts of the U.S. except the Great Plains.

Authors: Zhang Xingyu , Wang Chenxi , Liu Rui , Yang Sihan
Published: August 2024

The rise of ransomware as a predominant cybersecurity threat has necessitated the development of innovative detection mechanisms capable of adapting to the rapidly evolving nature of such attacks. In response to this challenge, federated learning, combined with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), offers a novel approach to ransomware detection that preserves data privacy while maintaining high detection accuracy. The research presented explores the implementation of a federated learning framework, where RNN models are trained across decentralized datasets without sharing sensitive data, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Through comprehensive experiments, the study demonstrates that the federated RNN model achieves comparable performance to centralized models, with the added benefit of enhanced data security. The results demonstrate the potential of federated learning as a scalable and robust solution for cybersecurity applications, particularly in environments where data confidentiality is paramount. The findings further highlight the broader implications of adopting federated learning techniques in the development of privacy-preserving machine learning models, paving the way for future advancements in secure and effective ransomware detection.
A Distinct Approach to Clinical GenAI Oversight
Authors: Thiers Fabio A. , Lucy Kimberly
Published: August 2024

Policymakers are determined to regulate clinical Generative AI (GenAI) solutions, but progress has been hampered by the commingling with regulatory approaches originally designed for Narrow AI (NarAI). This article clarifies this matter by describing the distinctive function and risk profile of GenAI models in healthcare settings. It elaborates why regulatory frameworks crafted for NarAI oversight are not adequate for GenAI because of their distinct nature. A first principle analysis is then used to delineate the pivotal role that healthcare organizations will need to take in GenAI oversight. Finally, it describes a distinct approach to clinical GenAI regulation that combines centralized benchmarking of GenAI models with the ISO/IEC 42001 certification of AI Management Systems (AIMS) implemented in healthcare organizations.
Gender and anxiety reveal distinct computational sources of underconfidence
Authors: Katyal Sucharit , Fleming Stephen M
Published: August 2024

Confidence exhibits systematic individual differences across mental health, gender, and age. However, it remains unknown whether these distinct sources of confidence (i.e., metacognitive) bias have common or distinct computational origins. To address this question, we studied the temporal evolution of underconfidence associated with individual differences in mental health and gender (N = 1447). We found that an underconfidence associated with anxiety symptoms became more prominent the longer individuals took to make metacognitive judgments – suggesting that it is exacerbated by additional time for introspection. In contrast, gender-related underconfidence decreased with greater metacognitive judgment time – suggesting that additional time for introspection is able to remediate prepotent biases. A novel dynamic computational model of confidence explained these effects – while both gender and anxiety symptoms involved shifts in confidence criteria, only anxiety symptoms involved a temporal accumulation of negatively-biased evidence about one’s ability. Our study reveals multiple computational pathways to the formation of underconfidence, in turn highlighting specific potential mechanisms for its remediation.

Esports are pretty far from Bodhi trees: Touch grass for performance and wellbeing
Authors: Horne George , Sharpe Benjamin T
Published: August 2024

Nature exposure has been cross-culturally linked to psychological growth, spiritual awakening, recovery and relaxation. Psychology research supports this, showing that nature exposure can benefit performance and wellbeing through improving mindfulness, sustained attention, and connected to nature. In stark contrast, esports environments can be drab, sombre and dark, with not even natural light permitted within the performance context. In the absence of nature exposure in esports psychology research or practice, we draw on existing educational and organisational psychology to encourage academics and psychologists to experiment with nature exposure, adding a few suggestions and guidelines of our own. By bringing life into esports performance environments, we look to sustainably provide a competitive edge to players and help their wellbeing bloom.
The effects of negative instructions on performance of a Stroop rifle shooting task: An examination of ironic errors in elite biathletes
Authors: Bartura Khelifa , Gustafsson Henrik , Abrahamsen Frank Eirik
Published: August 2024

Suppressing unwanted thoughts is generally characterized by the opposite outcomes of what is desired in motor task performance, resulting in ironic errors. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impact of negative cues on elite biathletes' ironic performance and reaction time (RT) in Stroop target shooting task within the context of Wegner's ironic process theory (IPT). Method: Elite biathletes (n = 10) participated in the study. The study involved a quasi-experimental within-subject factor design. Particularly a Bayesian samples t-test was conducted to determine participants target hit rates and RTs towards target hits at the incongruent stimuli. The biathletes completed a Stroop target shooting task under no-frequency negative cue (NFN) and high-frequency negative cue (HFN) conditions. Results: The findings showed biathletes did not exhibit ironic shooting errors or delay towards target hits across conditions. The Bayes factor robustness test in Bayesian paired samples t-test analysis yields moderate and anecdotal evidence in support of the null model (BF01) for hit rates and RTs towards target hits, respectively compared to the alternative model (BF10). Conclusion: Inducing negative instructions alone had not significant effects on Stroop target shooting performance. This implies that negative cues like 'do not shoot blue,' whether they are repeatedly primed or not cannot undermine shooting performance in an ironic manner in the sample of elite biathletes.

Workforce diversity has both positive and negative effects on performance, which may create challenges as well as opportunities based on the effectiveness of the leadership. The leadership approach and organizational policy for managing employees have discussed theoretical underpinning which ultimately influences employee performance in academic institutions and hence the quality of students. This study examined the effect of workforce diversity management in educational institutions and its effect on employee performance. A structured survey following the deductive approach and analytical research design was used to collect information from conveniently selected self-administered 392 administrative employees of private colleges in Kathmandu. The study revealed significant positive effect of personality diversity, attitude diversity, age diversity, gender diversity, tenure diversity, and ethnic diversity management on employee performance. Among different diversity management practices, attitude and gender diversity management strongly influenced employee performance. This study contributes to improving administrative performance by addressing the diversity issue of higher education institutions. In addition, this study adds value to the social identity theory for employee performance, as the study suggests its significance to improve positive in-group behavioral intentions.

Published: August 2024

The publication examines the relationship between the basic requirements for professional competence in financial control and the digitization of control procedures. Aspects of the digitalization of business processes and their correlation with the need to form specific qualities and skills in financial control are analyzed. In connection with proving the hypothesis that the quality of control procedures requires the assessment of the risk of digitalization, a correlation analysis is made. The aim is to confirm that, despite the penetration of technology in the control process, control bodies do not sufficiently apply new technologies to minimize risk. Financial control bodies should streamline processes, increase efficiency, and improve financial information and analysis accuracy.

O projeto intitulado "Descomplicando a Matemática: possibilidades para o ensino e aprendizado" teve a finalidade de promover a integração entre estudantes do Ensino Médio (EM), alunos inseridos em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES), com foco nos cursos de engenharias e/ou cursos de ciências exatas e da terra, colaboradores do projeto e a comunidade em geral, através da oferta de minicursos que objetivaram auxiliar na formação acadêmica, no contexto da matemática e da computação. Além disso, os cursos de curta duração desenvolvidos no projeto constituíram uma alternativa de ensino interdisciplinar, explorando conceitos fundamentais de Geometria Analítica e Álgebra Linear e a aplicação da linguagem de programação Python como ferramenta para esse estudo. Com isso, neste projeto, realizado em 2022, foi viabilizada a redução das dificuldades e estigmas dos estudantes em relação a problemas matemáticos nessas áreas específicas. É importante ressaltar que a motivação para a realização do projeto decorreu da necessidade de incentivar os estudantes do EM a ingressarem em uma IES, auxiliá-los no embasamento teórico-matemático que poderá, eventualmente, ser cobrado em concursos públicos, além de enriquecer o conhecimento dos estudantes já inseridos no contexto universitário. Assim, a presente proposta se configura como uma alternativa de desmistificação de informações estereotipadas do Ensino Superior e estímulo aos egressos do EM à educação continuada.

O modelo de produção agrícola majoritariamente voltado às culturas de commodities é uma realidade cada vez mais presente. Torna-se importante apresentar e aproximar a sociedade a alimentos advindos de sistemas de produção vegetal sustentáveis e com garantia de segurança alimentar. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma ação de extensão, denominada Feira Justa que possibilitasse a aproximação dos consumidores pertencentes à comunidade acadêmica universitária a alimentos oriundos de sistema de produção de base agroecológica, com intuito de despertar o interesse e sensibilização pelo consumo permanente de produtos com diferencial em qualidade. O trabalho foi desenvolvido na Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR) Campus Santa Helena, utilizando hortaliças cultivadas no projeto de extensão PAIS (Produção Agroecológica Integrada e Sustentável). Os kits de hortaliças e plantas condimentares foram disponibilizados em local fixo no campus, os quais puderam ser levados pela comunidade acadêmica, mediante troca de sementes. Realizou-se seis edições da feira justa entre os meses de outubro e dezembro de 2022. Foram analisados a taxa de aceitação e descarte dos kits, bem como, a taxa de retorno e esquecimento das sementes. A ação de extensão realizada no ambiente universitário promoveu excelentes resultados, sejam os quantitativos, pela taxa de retorno, por meio da entrega voluntária de sementes em troca dos kits, chegando a 82,4%, bem como os qualitativos, uma vez que a ação referente à feira justa, despertou na comunidade acadêmica o interesse e curiosidade em conhecer o ambiente de cultivo e saber mais sobre a produção orgânica de base agroecológica.

A química é a ciência central e suas reações e mecanismo norteiam as atividades diárias. No entanto, nem sempre os alunos conseguem ver a aplicação nas suas vidas. O presente projeto de extensão teve como objetivo divulgar a aplicação dos fenômenos químicos, utilizando materiais presentes no cotidiano. A proposta consistiu na recepção dos discentes do Ensino Médio e Ensino Fundamental de escolas públicas da cidade de Coari-Amazonas. As atividades iniciaram com a realização de palestras expositivas, seguida da realização de práticas experimentais e atividades lúdicas. O percurso metodológico possuiu caráter qualitativo, a partir das seguintes etapas: I Recepção dos discentes, II apresentação do tema, III experimentação, IV ludicidade, V avaliação da atividade pelos extensionista. Este trabalho demonstrou a importância da química no cotidiano dos discentes e contribuiu com a associação do conhecido com o desconhecido, além de despertar o senso crítico e investigativo, uma vez que estes estão inseridos no contexto e na cultura da região. Pôde-se verificar que os alunos se sentiram motivados a aprender e a gostar mais de química, possibilitando assim sua contextualização e valorização dos conhecimentos populares dos discentes.

Este trabalho apresenta um relato do desenvolvimento de um projeto de Formação Inicial e Continuada (FIC) que teve como objetivo estimular o protagonismo feminino no artesanato e a sustentabilidade na Amazônia, por meio da disseminação de informações sobre associativismo e de práticas sustentáveis de produção de produtos artesanais a partir de resíduos florestais. Como ação metodológica, destacou-se o trabalho de extensão participativa para 15 mulheres artesãs de uma comunidade rural, tendo por base metodológica a pesquisa participante em Brandão (1998) e aplicação do sistema ARAP (Avaliação e Reconhecimento de Aprendizagem Prévia. As atividades do projeto tiveram como princípio norteador, a sustentabilidade, o reaproveitamento e o reuso de resíduos florestais. Enfatizou-se o fortalecimento de laços sociais, memória, criatividade, postura frente ao associativismo e o aprimoramento de artesanato na comunidade. Considera-se que a ação cumpriu com sua função social à medida que atingiu seu objetivo de oportunizar conhecimentos sobre à representatividade e defesa mútua de interesses, pelo associativismo e utilização de métodos e técnicas de produção artesanal de resíduos florestais.  Além disso, o projeto favoreceu a disseminação de técnicas sustentáveis e a preservação dos saberes populares.
