Measurement of the Marcellus Shale Properties
Authors: Elsaig M. , Black S. , Aminian K. , Ameri S.
Published: September 2017

Even though the advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques have unlocked the gas contained in Marcellus shale, the quantification of the petrophysical properties remain challenging due to complex nature of the shale. Shale permeability is commonly measured by the unsteady state methods, such as pulse-decay or GRI methods, because the shale has a permeability in nano-Darcy range. The permeability values by determined by these techniques have been found often to have large margin of uncertainty as a result of inconsistent experimental protocols and the complex interpretations methods.

In this study, petrophysical properties of the Marcellus shale core plugs were measured using an innovative laboratory setup, referred to as Precision Petrophysical Analysis Laboratory (PPAL). PPAL is designed to accurately measure the petrophysical properties of ultra-low permeability core plugs under the reservoir conditions. PPAL measurements are performed under steady-state isothermal conditions flow conditions and the analysis of the results do not require complicated interpretations. The key advantage of the PPAL is the capability to measure the permeability and porosity of the shale core plugs under a wide range of confining and pore pressures. In addition, the impact of gas adsorption (or desorption) on the measurements can be monitored. The core plugs used in this study were made available through the Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL), a dedicated field laboratory in the Marcellus Shale. MSEEL has been established to undertake field and laboratory research to advance and demonstrate new subsurface technologies and to enable surface environmental studies related to unconventional energy development. The filed site is owned and operated by Northeast Natural Energy, LLC and contains several horizontal Marcellus Shale wells. In addition, a vertical well has been drilled specifically for obtaining core, log, and other data for scientific purposes (science well).

The results of the core plug permeability measurements indicated that that the permeability values decline as the gas (pore) pressure increases. Reliable values of the absolute permeability can be obtained by the application of the double-slippage correction for all pore pressure ranges but more specifically for pore pressures below 900 psia. Klinkenberg correction on the other hand, can only provide reliable values for the absolute permeability when the pore pressures are above 900 psia. The determined absolute permeability values were found to be impacted by the net stress. The analysis stress data with the aid of Walsh plot provided the estimates of the fracture (fissure) closure pressure. The closure pressure was found to be dependent on the absolute permeability.
Case Study on Wellbore Integrity for Two Fields with Wells Exposed to CO2 in the Subsurface in the Midwest U.S.
Authors: Markiewicz J. D. , Sminchak J. R. , Moody M. A.
Published: September 2017

The objective of the research presented in this paper was to examine direct evidence of well conditions to determine wellbore integrity factors and mitigation for oil and gas wells exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) in the subsurface. This project involved identifying the nature and severity of well defects such as poor or permeable cement, microannulus occurrence, cracks, and mechanical defects, through a combination of sustained casing pressure testing and well history review. Two producing fields were used as case studies to explore wellbore integrity: a Michigan Basin site and an Appalachian Basin site. These sites contain wells that have been exposed to injected or naturally-occurring CO2 over several decades and are therefore good candidates for researching wellbore integrity and sustained casing pressure.

Gas sample analysis, field surveys of well conditions, cement bond logs, well records, and sustained casing pressure build-up tests were used to quantify wellbore integrity factors. This research improves understanding the viability of CO2 injection projects and safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible operations.

Growth in CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has led to an increased demand for information about operational safety and the integrity of wells that have been exposed to CO2 due to injection or natural sources. Addressing this concern requires knowledge of the wellbore construction and local geology in relation to potential for corrosion of wellbore materials and migration of CO2. These aspects factor into site characterization, field management, and well plugging, especially in the Midwest U.S. where many legacy oil and gas wells are located.
History Match Case Study of a Multi PVT Fluid Regime in an Unconventional Tight Sand Reservoir Located in the Powder River Basin
Authors: Gonzalez Daniel , Costello Dan , Loxton Grant
Published: September 2017

Performing a reservoir simulation study for hydraulically fractured horizontal wells in unconventional reservoirs relies on input parameters which are not often well defined. The uncertainty of the input parameters (i.e. completion design, petrophysics, reservoir fluid phase) leads to uncertainty in the resulting history matches and less confidence when using the model results. This paper focuses on the importance of fluid phase characterization in reservoir simulation studies.

One of the challenges the industry currently faces is PVT (pressure-volume-temperature) fluid characterization for tight rock formations. When submitting a production fluid sample for analysis, it is crucial to define an accurate estimate of pressure, temperature, and gas-oil ratio (GOR) in order to place the sample in the appropriate fluid window to yield a representative PVT characterization for use in reservoir simulation studies.

The case study presented in this paper describes a reservoir simulation study in the Powder River Basin with varying fluid regimes across the field (Figure 1). This particular field has three different fluid systems driven by differences in basement heat flow: black oil, volatile oil, and gas condensate. Two different reservoir simulation studies within the same field will be described in this paper. The first reservoir simulation study was developed on an unbounded well in an area of the field interpreted as black oil. The second reservoir simulation study focused on a three well pad in an area interpreted to be gas condensate. Both simulation studies had accompanying PVT reports; unfortunately, irregular early production led to uncertainty in the recombination GOR and the resulting PVT characterizations. Despite modifying several modeling parameters, the model did not respond as expected and a representative history match was difficult to achieve. By re-evaluating the fluid window and PVT conditions, the history match for wells in both studies improved substantially.
Evaluate Sensitivity and Feasibility of Influencing Factors to Increase the Extreme Hydraulic Extension Length of Horizontal Well
Authors: Zhang Bo , Guan Zhichuan , Lu Nu , Hasan A. R. , Xu Chuanbin , Xu Shenqi , Liao Hualin , Zhang Zheng
Published: September 2017

Horizontal well greatly propels the development of unconventional oil and gas. Considering the drilling safety and basic demand of hole cleaning, define length of horizontal well as extreme hydraulic extension length when the drilling fluid pump rate is equal to minimum cutting-carry pump rate and hole cleaning satisfied basic demand. Based on this concept, a prediction model is established according to the relationship among minimum cutting-carry pump rate, bottomhole pressure, circulation pressure loss and drilling pump pressure. This model considers the influence of cuttings on the hydrostatic column pressure, horizontal annular pressure drop and annular geometrical shape. And then this model is used to analyze the impact of well structure, formation property, drilling fluid property, hole cleaning degree and drilling parameters on extreme hydraulic extension length. On the above basis, a new index called ration of dispersion coefficient is introduced to evaluate the sensitivity of each factor. The sensitivity decreases as the sequence of cutting particle size, drilling fluid flow behavior index, acceptable cutting bed height, wellbore diameter, ROP(8-15 m/h), drilling fluid density, drilling string eccentricity, formation fracture pressure, drilling fluid consistency index, well vertical depth and ROP(1-8 m/h). Based on both mitigation effect and feasibility, cutting particle size, drilling fluid flow behavior index, acceptable cutting bed height and rate of penetration are worthy to optimize to prolong EHEL.

Published: September 2017

Krimi have been considered a major public health problem through out the world (WHO, 1967 Wandan, 1983 McLaren, 1984). In our country this problem is equally significant. It effects the children more frequently than adult (CCRAS 1987). Krimi hamper growth and development of a person, create malnutritional condition and decrease immunity thus the effective solution of this problem is necessary. Of all the herbs used in treating worm infestation, Vidanga is the best. So, Vidanga was selected for the present study. Whole plant of Embelia ribes Linn. were used as materials, as whole plants are used as medicine. Acharya Charaka describe Krimiroga in Vimanasthana. In most of patients, who are suffering from worm infestation have an Vivarnata (discolouration) on the face. “Vivarnata” had been described by Acharya Charaka under the Lakshana of Purishaja Krimi and it has been also described in Rasavaha Srotodusti Lakshana. Krimis robe the digestive nutritive assets through the intestinal wall, which we are making with high effort. So the deficiency of Rasa Dhatu create. According to Dhatu Poshana Nyaya if the Rasa Dhatu is not sufficient then other Dhatu can’t form properly and ultimate weak resistance and poor immunity develops and it is one cause of recurrent nature of disease. Prakriti Vighata and Nidana Parivarjana eradicate Krimiroga from the base.

Authors: Widowati Adi Putri Anisa
Published: September 2017

Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling are important to be conducted to examine the watershed response based on a rainfall input, especially over disaster-prone watershed such as Putih River watershed in Magelang, Central Java Province. A GIS-based grid-based distributed rainfall-runoff model was used to simulate the rainfall-runoff transformation. A two-dimensional hydrodynamic flow modeling was then carried out to simulate the flood processes on the stream and floodplain area. A sensitivity analysis was conducted on infiltration rate, Manning’s n value, and rainfall intensity. Infiltration rate, Manning’s n value, and rainfall intensity give considerable effects to the resulted flow hydrographs. The modeling results show that the results of hydrologic-hydraulic modeling is in good agreement with the observed results.

Authors: A. Alao Kazeem , A. Bolarinwa Ismaila , M. Kuboye Bamidele , E. Ibam Onwuka
Published: September 2017

The traditional approach to career guidance is a manual method that is ineffective and inefficient. The electronic approach provides an effective and efficient career guidance. This research therefore developed a web-based intelligent career guidance system that assists pre-tertiary science students in Nigeria to independently choose a career path at anytime and anywhere with the use of computer system or mobile/smart phones as applicants seek admission into various fields of study in Nigerian Higher Institutions (Universities or Polytechnics). The intelligent system uses student-driven parameters such as favourite science subjects combination, career interest inventory analysis result, and intelligent quotient test result for career recommendation. The web-based intelligent system was designed and implemented with principle of a rule-based expert system using forward chaining algorithm, the client-side/interface pages (front-end) were designed using “Bootstrap 3” front-end framework that contains HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. For the back-end, XAMPP was used. The system was implemented and evaluated using 200 pre-tertiary science students; they took the career choice tests and provided their feedback for the evaluation of the system performance. The feedback shows that the recommended career by the system is 95% accurate and relevant, 70% satisfactory, and 80% adequacy of information on career guidance by the system.

Membangun Karakter Mulia pada Anak: Pertimbangan Pengenalan Hukum Islam Semenjak Dini
Authors: Rosdiana Rosdiana
Published: September 2017

This writing elaborates the introduction of Islamic Law towards children as an attempt to build a noble character on them. The noble character or “akhlaq” in Islam is a result of implementing process in sharia (ibadah and muamalah) based on the strong foundation known as “aqidah” in Islam. Furthermore, all of the sharia stipulation grounded on the implementation of akhlaq and noble character. The relevance of the Islamic Law introduction and the character building is able to integrated through religion education taught by parents, school, and society. Moreover, religion education is considerably inadequate if it only concerns on the cognitive aspect, it also needs to learn about the emotional intelligence of the children. Thus, the importance of children understanding on Islamic Law is performed that the children could have a self-awareness towards the globalization, they could differentiate the right and wrong, and be able to make a great decision in their life, family, even society. Besides, the problems of religion education which tends to be more theoretic cannot be effective enough to be a ground of character building. So, Islamic Law for more mature children needs to be introduced through strengthening the right religious education. This writing, psychologically and philosophically, would like to address the significant point of introducing the Islamic Law to children. Therefore, parents and other environments have a great role in giving the examples about the studied materials.
Reducing the psychosocial risk at work as the task of socially responsible companies
Authors: Sadlowska-Wrzesinska J.
Published: September 2017

Although corporate social responsibility is a permanent feature of activities of many companies, only a few companies can show a strategic approach and use complex solutions. It is emphasized that factors which could cause a positive change are institutional incentives such as tax benefits, and a bigger involvement of stakeholders, mostly employees. As far as providing hygienic working conditions is concerned, one must focus on better connecting occupational health and safety (OHS) with positive targets of the company, i.e. health promotion, efficiency increase and business excellence. It is becoming all the more important since the results of European research point out that the main source of stress at work is its psychosocial layer. Problems such as work-related stress, mobbing or discrimination are commonly considered to be the main challenges for OHS. The aim of the article is to emphasize that protecting the employees from psychosocial factors is not only necessitated by the law, but also is an ethical issue and a part of social responsibility of business. The article presents author's prevention model of psychosocial risk which can be implemented in any enterprises. It also shows examples of good practices of psychosocial risk reduction based on the cases presented in the literature.

This research article describes the synthesis of phenyl hydrazone derivatives of 5-acetyl-6-methyl-4-substituted phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines, as no derivatization has been reported at carbonyl functionality at position 5 of corresponding rings till date. The prepared derivatives were characterised using modern spectral techniques and were screened for their in-vitro anti-microbial activities by agar diffusion method. Among synthesised derivatives [II(a-g)], compound II(f) was found to be the most potent anti-bacterial agent and rest of the compounds had shown moderate to weak anti-bacterial activity.

The aim of design of oral extended drug delivery system is to achieve a prolonged therapeutic effect by continuously releasing medicament over an extended period of time after administration of a single dose. An attempt was made to formulate Tramadol Extended Release (ER) matrix tablet using combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymer consisting of ethyl cellulose, HPMC K15M, carbopol, and xanthan gum. The polymeric concentration of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymer was optimized and was found that drug to polymeric ratio (hydrophobic and hydrophilic) of 1:0.75:0.75 was appropriate for the formulation of Tramadol ER tablet. The concentration of hydrophobic polymer was kept constant were as the combination of hydrophilic polymer was attempted and combined to hydrophobic polymer to retard the drug release for 24-hour from the matrix tablet. A total of nine formulations (F1-F9) of Tramadol matrix tablet, with different concentration of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymer were used with other excipients. The tablets were compressed by direct compression method after subjecting the blend to blend physical parameters studies like studies like angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s index. The results obtained were satisfactory. Post compression parameters like hardness, weight variation, friability, drug content analysis and in-vitro release profiles of drug from all the formulations could be best expressed by Higuchi’s equation, as the plots showed high linearity (R2: 0.942-0.995). To confirm the diffusion mechanism, the data were fit into Korsmeyer equation. The formulations F-1 to F-6 showed good linearity (R2: 0.961 to 0.993), which indicate the mechanism is diffusion coupled with erosion.

In our effort to identify potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents a number of 7-chloro-3-substituted-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones have been synthesized starting from 4-chloro anthranilic acid. Docking analysis of the quinazolinone derivatives were done with COX-II protein which was carried out by means of the AutoDock program. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of elemental analyses and spectroscopic studies (IR, 1H-NMR, MS). The synthesized compounds were tested for their analgesic activity by tail-flick method and anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan induced rat paw oedema method. Preliminary evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the prepared compounds has indicated that some of them exhibit moderate to significant activity, compared to diclofenac standard.

Published: September 2017

A utilização de plantas medicinais está em continuo crescimento. A busca por agentes terapêuticos derivados de espécies vegetais, frente a uma oferta insuficiente, levou a uma queda na qualidade das mesmas, que atualmente são alternativas terapêuticas importantes, entretanto alguns quesitos precisam ser avaliados, como a contaminação microbiológica e parasitológica da matéria prima que pode apresentar um impacto importante no estado de saúde do indivíduo. A decocção, processo tradicional de preparo, em que partes da planta são colocadas em contato com a água em ebulição, pode gerar produtos com reduzida carga microbiana, entretanto, dependendo do grau de contaminação na matéria-prima inicial, esse processo pode não ser efetivo. O  presente estudo teve por objetivo fazer uma revisão sistemática a fim de identificar a ocorrência de contaminação microbiológica em plantas medicinais para isso foram analisados artigos científicos publicados nos últimos 20 anos nas bases eletrônicas de dados LILACS, PubMed e SciELO, utilizando os descritores em inglês “contamination”, “medicinal plants”, “vegetables” e “parasite” e seus correspondentes em português. Foram selecionados 9 artigos que abordam o tema contaminação em plantas medicinais e 15 artigos sobre contaminação em hortaliças, devido os benefícios para o conhecimento do potencial de contaminação por parasitos em plantas medicinais pois a forma de cultivo e consumo de ambas são semelhantes, totalizando 24 artigos. Foram encontrados ovos de Ancylostoma sp., Ascaris sp., Taenia sp. fungos Aspergillus sp, Penicillium sp, Fusarium sp  e em um estudo Salmonella sp foi identifica. Não foram encontrados trabalhos que avaliavam a contaminação por parasitas em plantas medicinais, e considerando os resultados encontrados, salienta-se a necessidade de fiscalização e regulamentação, a fim de melhorar a qualidade higiênico-sanitária das plantas medicinais ofertadas à população.

O Cebus apella é uma espécie protegida por lei, contribui para a manutenção dos ecossistemas florestais com comportamento social semelhante aos humanos. Descrevemos a topografia das áreas cerebrais do Cebus apella, para observar e descrever a organização dos sulcos e lobos em cada hemisfério cerebral, esquematizando-os. A análise foi feita pela observação de 30 (trinta) hemisférios cerebrais, fixados em álcool 70 %, dissecados sob mesoscopia de luz. Foram descritos 4 (quatro) lobos cerebrais principais: Frontal; Parietal; Temporal e Occipital e suas complexas circunvoluções cerebrais, característica de primatas com movimentos rápidos. A análise foi: vista medial apresentando sulco caloso marginal, parieto-occipital, calcarino, para-calcarino, retro-calcarino, colateral, occipito-temporal e rostral; vista lateral apresentando sulco rectus, frontal médio, ramo horizontal arcuatus, superior subcentral, arcuatus, lateral, paralelo, temporal inferior, central, intraparietal, angular, pré-occipital transverso, occipital tranverso ou lunatus, occipital inferior, occipital médio, occipital superior e parieto-occipital. São constantes na vista lateral os sulcos lateral, paralelo, central, intraparietal e lunatus, os demais variam de um antímero para o outro. Na vista medial os sulcos parieto-occipital, caloso marginal e calcarino são constantes. Na morfologia dos giros cerebrais a presença ou ausência dos sulcos e suas variações são indicativos de uso maior ou menor de córtex cerebral, característica importante para o domínio das circunstâncias sociais e ambientais, para garantir a sobrevivência da espécie.

Nghiên cứu được tiến hành tại Quảng Trị từ 4/2008 đến 4/2009 nhằm xem xét ảnh hưởng của các chế độ bổ sung thức ăn khác nhau đến sự phát triển của bộ máy tiêu hóa về mặt hình thái và dung tích. Thí nghiệm gồm 25 bê nội, chia làm 4 lô, tương ứng với 4 chế độ nuôi: 1) sữa mẹ, cỏ và thức ăn tinh; 2) sữa mẹ và thức ăn tinh; 3) sữa mẹ và cỏ; và 4) chỉ cho bú sữa (đối chứng). Kết quả cho thấy bổ sung thức ăn cho bê trong thời kỳ bú sữa đã thúc đẩy cơ quan tiêu hóa phát triển cả về khối lượng, cả về dung tich. Trong 3 chế độ bổ sung, bổ sung thức ăn tinh một mình đã thúc đẩy tốt nhất sự phát triển của khối lượng và dung tích ruột. Sau 12 tuần tuổi, khối lượng và dung tích ruột bê được ăn thêm thức ăn tinh (lô B) đã tăng 505 và 183% so với giá trị tương ứng của bê lúc sơ sinh. Ngược lại, khi bổ sung mình cỏ, dạ cỏ nói riêng và 3 dạ trước nói chung có tốc độ phát triển khối lượng và dung tích mạnh nhất. Lúc 4 tuần tuổi, dung tích dạ cỏ của bê bổ sung cỏ là  800 ml, cao hơn 18 % so với đối chứng (675 ml); tương tự lúc 12 tuần tuổi là 3.548 ml so với 2.787 ml, tăng 27%. Nghiên cứu đã chỉ ra rằng bổ sung sớm thức ăn cho bê ngay khi sơ sinh có tác dụng thúc đẩy hệ thống tiêu hóa bê phát triển nhanh hơn. Hơn nữa, chế độ bổ sung thức ăn khác nhau đã gây những hiệu ứng khác nhau đến sự phát triển của các bộ phận khác nhau của hệ thống tiêu hóa.
