Static and Dynamic Elastic Moduli of Bakken Formation
Authors: He Jun , Ling Kegang , Wu Xingru , Pei Peng , Pu Hui
Published: April 2019

In recent years, the exploration and production of oil and gas from Bakken formation in Williston Basin have proceeded quickly due to the application of multi-stage fracturing technology in horizontal wells. Knowledge of the rock elastic moduli is important for the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Although static moduli obtained by tri-axial compression test are accurate, the procedures are cost expensive and time consuming. Therefore, developing correlation to predict static moduli from dynamic moduli, which is calculated from sonic wave velocities, is meaningful in cutting cost and it makes the unconventional oil and gas exploration and production more efficient.

Literature review indicates such a correlation is not available for Bakken formation. This may be attributed to the extremely low success rate in Bakken core sample preparation and not enough published data to develop correlation to relate dynamic moduli to static moduli. This study measures and compares the moduli obtained from sonic wave velocity tests with deformation tests (tri-axial compression tests) for the samples taken from Bakken formation of Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA. The results show that the dynamic moduli of Bakken samples are considerably different from the static moduli measured by tri-axial compression tests. Correlations are developed based on the static and dynamic moduli of 117 Bakken core samples. The cores used in this study were taken from the core areas of Bakken formation in Williston Basin. Therefore, they are representatives of the Bakken reservoir rock. These correlations can be used to evaluate the uncertainty of Bakken formation elastic moduli estimated from the seismic and/or well log data and adjust to static moduli at a lower cost comparing with conducting static tests. The correlations are crucial to understand the rock geomechanical properties and forecast reservoir performance when no core sample is available for direct measurement of static moduli.

Published: April 2019

Characterization, testing and evaluation of LCM products are very important for successful treatment of loss circulation problems. However, due to the lack of suitable API and any other industry methods and test apparatus that are applicable for characterization, testing and evaluation of various LCM products, the industry are facing difficulties in comprehensive characterization, testing and evaluation of LCM products. Hence, the industry needs fit-for-purpose methods and devices to fill up the industry gaps and overcome the technical limitations of current measurement systems. This paper describes several new methods and test devices for comprehensive characterization and evaluation of the stiffness characteristics of gel-based LCMs, attrition resistance of particulate LCM products, physical simulation and evaluation of sealing and blocking efficiency in fractured, super-K and vugular loss zones containing converging, diverging and parallel front fracture profiles.

Experimental results provided by the characterization tools and various loss zone simulating test set up indicate the suitability of these tools and the apparatus in predicting the LCM Characteristics along with the sealing and plugging efficiency. Due to better simulation of various loss zone characteristic features, the newly developed test apparatus and the methods provide reliable technical guidelines to improve the probability and likelihood of success a LCM treatment job. The simple, easy to operate, reliable tools and methods described in this paper will help in overcoming the difficulties and limitations of testing and evaluation of LCM products to select the superior and reject the inferior.
Maximizing Production from Shale Reservoir by Using Micro-Sized Proppants
Authors: Lau Hon Chung , Radhamani Adiyodi Veettil , Ramakrishna Seeram
Published: April 2019

This paper describes the interaction between hydraulic fractures and the multi-porosity system of matrix porosity and natural fracture porosity in shale reservoirs. During the process of hydraulic fracturing, a complex fracture network consisting of primary and secondary hydraulic fractures as well as natural fractures is created. It is postulated that only shale porosities connected with this network will contribute to hydrocarbon production. Furthermore, we propose a way to maximise well productivity by injecting micro-sized proppants that are less than 150 μm (100 mesh) into the natural fractures and secondary hydraulic fractures to prevent them from closing and thereby increasing the stimulated reservoir volume. The size of the micro-sized proppant should be designed to be between one-seventh and one-third the aperture size of the natural fractures. In addition, various materials for micro-sized proppants are proposed and discussed. Of these, hollow glass microsphere shows more promise because of its light density and track record of being used as an additive material in the oilfield. Although limited laboratory experiments and field tests have shown encouraging results of using micro-sized proppants to enhance the productivity of Barnett shale, more research is warranted to optimize the use of these micro-sized proppants in production enhancement in various shale formations.

Published: April 2019

Critical drawdown pressure for sand onset and its accuracy with change in water cut is a continuous area of study. The numerous parameters like grain cementation, viscosity of fluids, actual physics of sand production with fluids leads to a lot of uncertainty. In practical terms, it has been observed that these mechanisms lead to reduction in Uniaxial Compressive Strength of rocks. The objective of this paper is to present a novel method that not only helps on understanding the effect of water production on sand failure but to further predict the volumetric expected sand production up until a certain tolerable error.

A sand prone field within Malaysian region was identified and core tests were done to evaluate UCS and other rock strength parameters at different saturation of water to simulate the effect of water on rock strength. CDP evaluations were done and the values were calibrated with actual field data to have an accurate understanding of CDP values at different water cuts. Lastly, with the findings from field production data, limit was pushed further to develop a novel method to predict the volumetric sand production.

The proposed novel method has helped not only in understanding the effect of water production on sand failure but also on the amount of sand to be produced under different drawdown pressures with a reasonable accuracy. These results proved very useful in implementing Company's Holistic Sand Management strategy. The integration of this method with water cut predictions from reservoir simulation models helped the team to quantify the continue increasing sand production due to water cut increase. Company is replicating similar workflow in other sand prone fields for an effective sand management.

The approach is very novel as the theoretical modelling work has been effectively calibrated using real field data. This method has provided a high degree of confidence in estimating the amount of sand to be produced under different production conditions.

Authors consider this as a breakthrough in field of holistic sand management and very useful workflow for all other operators to emulate.

Pangkah field located at offshore East Java Indonesia is an oil and gas producer within fractured carbonate reservoir lithology. Fractured corridors introduce challenges during drilling and production phase. To optimize production, several wells had been completed with novel Inflow Control Device (ICD) design. This paper highlights the potentials of such customized ICD's innovation with integral sliding sleeve.

This novel ICD design preserves intended ICD position, and in addition could be shifted in the downhole later either to be in open or closed position if required. Either coil tubing or electric-line could be deployed to shift the downhole 3-positions of this integral ICD with sliding sleeve. The integral design allows a fully open position for well stimulation or circulation in formation damage treatment. Meanwhile another position enables ICD configuration for inflow control. The last position which is fully-shut or closed can be activated during completions string Run in Hole (RIH) to allow floating toward Total Depth (TD), minimizing torque and drag, and maintaining wash-down capability without wash pipe. The whole closed or floating system while RIH makes it possible to set assemblies of open hole hydraulic set packers or any pressure activated devices. During late-life, selective compartment could be shut-off against excessive water production decisively whenever required.

Good sealing of the open hole packers against borehole is essential for the effectiveness of open hole compartmentalization and ICD production. The open hole hydraulic packers must be placed and set properly within its expanding range. Combination of petrophysical analysis, caliper log, image log, seismic coherency, and drilling loss data are used to define the compartments and packer placement.

This novel ICD's innovation with water shut-off capability in addition to the main ICD's inflow control is designed comprehensively with 3D single wellbore dynamic modeling. ICD's single well dynamic modeling were executed along three phases i.e. pre-drilled, real-time and post-job. Each phase respond to operation readiness and reservoir management. Intensive engagement with asset team and realistic modeling design range lead to positive production results.
Successful Use of Directional Casing While Drilling
Authors: Penot Steve , Segui Emmanuel , Pickup Duncan
Published: April 2019

This paper provides technical feedback of a successful use of Directional Casing While Drilling (D-CwD), a technique allowing to simultaneously drill and case the hole while following the directional plan. It highlights how substantial gains were realized on Badamyar project in Myanmar, having benefited from the D-CwD technique to optimize the architecture.

The Badamyar development campaign involved the drilling of four horizontal gas wells in conventional offshore environment in Myanmar. Other regional wells had already experienced wellbore issues to get the 13 3/8″ casing vertically to 450m. On Badamyar, drilling directly with the casing allowed to minimize operational exposure to losses and wellbore instability, and to achieve the challenge to get the 13 3/8″ to 800m and 45deg inclination, avoiding the requirement for an additional surface casing.

All four 13 3/8" sections were successfully directionally casing-drilled and cemented in fourteen days within budget duration, which, despite the additional complexity, is comparable to the best performance in the block in the last twenty years. The average Rate of Penetration was 30 m/hr, same as fastest conventional case in the field, without mentioning the huge advantage that when reaching the required depth, the casing is already in the hole. Indeed, once the casing has reached the required depth, drill pipe is run inside the casing to unlatch and recover the directional BHA, and pull it back to surface, leaving the casing in place ready for the cement job. While conventionally, casing still needs to be run with associated time and risks (losses, wellbore stability, stuck casing, accidental side-track, etc…).

This Directional-CwD was a new concept to most of the teams involved: Operator, Rig contractor and Tubular Running Services. It required changing the "hundred and thirty years of conventional drill-pipe drilling" mindset. This paper describes the decision making process to switch from conventional to casing-drilling, the preparation phase where risks were identified and mitigated, as well as the excellent operational results.

This paper, by presenting a successful first implementation within a major O&G company, brings to the drilling industry an additional case that the system works, is technically fit-for purpose, cost effective, and has the tremendous potential to replace conventional drilling in several applications. It also highlights some potential limits and opportunities for optimization which should be considered for further development (trajectory constraints, fatigue life and well control).

Following the first pilot success of the truly rigless 3-1/2" tubing cable deployed ESP (TTESP-CD in offshore field of Sarawak Basin, PETRONAS has taken steps to further advance in the technology development and application through more replications within Sarawak and Malay Basin. PETRONAS had been looking into a strong business case for the TTESP-CD technology for a wider application throughout Malaysia region by looking at fields with strong/moderate water drive and low bubble point pressure besides having other limitations on the platform including the facilities reliability issues.

TTESP-CD are to be applied widely in Malaysia with more flexibilities in design and improvement towards the subsurface equipment, installation equipment and procedures. With the challenges in the existing completion and production requirement for replications, based on the lesson learnt from the pilot implementation, multiple improvements to the system have been done including; 1) A High Rate Slim Pump with Flexible Application 2) Alignment Tool for Cable Hanger Orientation. With this in place, more opportunities identified for the candidate selection which improve the installation philosophy specifically in dual string applications and enhance the efficiency in installation procedures.

Case studies of TTESP-CD replications in Malay & Sarawak Basin for Field T, Field B and Field P presenting the best case for TTESP-CD application with improvement to design, equipment and application. These will bring additional value to PETRONAS with estimated production gain of ∼1.5 KBD and up to 1.2 MMSTB reserves to be monetized with additional value saving of up to RM 6 Mill.

Besides the subsurface challenges, aging offshore assets brings a lot of challenges, especially on the space availability, structural integrity, power availability and distribution, instrumentation and data transmission. This requires an integrated approach from multiple disciplines in delivering the studies as per required within the targeted timeframe.
Improved Gas Recovery for Bottom-Water-Drive Gas Reservoir Using Downhole Water Drain Technique: A Success Story from Arthit Field, Thailand
Authors: Phummanee Sutthipat , Rittirong Ake , Pongsripian Winit , Phongchawalit Natthaphat
Published: April 2019

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the implementation of downhole water drain (DHWD) technique to improve gas recovery factor for bottom-water-drive gas reservoir in the multi-thin reservoirs system in Arthit field. This technique was selected as an alternative method to defer water loading in the wellbore by preventing early water breakthrough meanwhile enhancing gas expansion. Project planning, operation, and performance evaluation are the gist of the discussion here.

Candidate selection was the critical first step to the success of DHWD technique. The suitable wells require a gas-water contact reservoir at the upper part of the well and totally depleted reservoirs below it. After identifying candidates, bottomhole pressure survey was performed to investigate the reservoir condition for reservoir simulation. Both gas and water layers above and below the gas-water contact were perforated as designed. A plug was set between the perforated gas and water layers to isolate the flow. This allows gas to be produced to surface while water flows downwards to the depleted reservoirs.

The key parameters used in evaluating the effectiveness of DHWD technique are incremental gas recovery and water breakthrough time. According to the production history of existing gas-water contact reservoirs in Arthit field, massive water production generally starts to intrude after 1.35 months of production at which water-gas ratio increases above 50 STB/MMscf. As a consequence, the gas production sharply declines and eventually ceases to flow. The water breakthrough time of the two trial wells in which DHWD technique was applied is significantly slower than the field average. One was observed water breakthrough after 2.05 months and the other was after 5.40 months of the production. Gas EUR gain is the difference between the EUR when applying DHWD technique by declined curve analysis and the expected EUR of conventional production by statistical method. The results from the two trial wells indicate that DHWD technique can significantly improve the EUR by 110% and 871%.

Downhole water drain is a groundbreaking technique that can be practically implemented to enhance gas recovery of bottom-water-drive gas reservoirs. This technique is recommended for gas field as an alternative strategy since it yields substantial additional reserves gain while required only a small additional cost from the additional perforation of water sand and permanent bridge plug.
4-D Geomechanics Modelling for Potential CO2 Storage Site in Malaysia – Fault Reactivation and Maximum Pressure Injection Limit

Published: April 2019

This paper presents a study on the risk associated with CO2 injection in geological storage and fault reactivation through a comprehensive workflow for determining the feasibility of CO2 storage campaign in carbonate reservoir in Malaysia. The study includes constructing a 4-D coupled reservoir geomechanical model and developing a workflow that can be used to evaluate geomechanics risks associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS) by outlining results and findings that drive key decisions in the planning of CCS strategy.

The workflows aims to better delineate and enumerate the risks with CCS as it constructing and calibrating single well models by corroborating numerous inputs including stringent laboratory testing data and drilling analysis, and combining with structural model and reservoir model to create a field wide 4-D geomechanical model using advanced time lapsed geomechanics simulation. Coupled simulations with the dynamic reservoir model provided predictions of the fault stability by considering fault deformation. The paper further highlights the geomechanics evaluation consideration (economics and engineering trade-off) in designing maximum safe injection pressure for CO2 sequestration program.

The results of the study show fault condition subjected to different time-steps of the coupled simulation during depletion and injection. At each time-step, the development of plastic shear strain and absolute displacement are plotted and risks associated with the change in reservoir pressure are assessed and quantified. Different injection plans are modelled to determine the impact on final storage capacity, long term fluid containment and upper safe injection limit to avoid breaching the caprock.

The study offers the utilization of the latest techniques in 4-D coupled geomechanical modelling which reduced the study time and cost significantly, making it affordable for in-time solution for decision making. The paper also aims to encourage the consideration of the applied novel workflow involved in CCS strategye valuation focusing on risk assessment which ultimately will affect reservoir maximum safe injection limit, capacity, long term storage safety, and monitoring program to mitigate potential geohazard leakage.
Heterogeneity and Relative Permeability Role in Primary Drainage: from Lateral to Vertical Perching
Authors: Hulea Iulian N , Kim Igor
Published: April 2019

Building realistic and reliable subsurface models requires detailed knowledge of both the rock and fluids involved. While the hydrocarbon volume estimation has a profound impact on the viability of a development, next to the saturation height models and free fluid levels the hydraulic communication and permeability have a significant role as well. Compartmentalization could change the field development plan: e.g. increase the well count, necessitate significant change to the well profiles (e.g. extended range drilling), require complex and expensive completion strategy.

When in different parts of the same field different free fluid levels are identified, leading to different fluid contacts for the same rock quality, the lateral hydraulic communication at the field level can be challenged. This aspect is of importance since the hydrocarbon volume distribution has drastic impact on total hydrocarbon recovery. At the same time building and initializing a model based on different free water level positions across the field, zero capillary pressure, is challenging.

Perched water contacts are the result of water entrapment during the hydrocarbon migration that could lead to variability in free fluid levels across a field. The fundamental controls that lead to the perched contacts formation are studied and shown to be the rock quality and relative permeability. Counter-intuitively, the perching effect is not going to feature in poor quality rocks with sub-milli Darcy permeability – the effects would be visible only for a considerable barrier height, with Free Water Level to barrier height of tensto hundred meters.

In addition, realistic heterogeneous models are studied to investigate the heterogeneity effect on perching and on formation pressures. Whilst low permeability is correlated to a wide range of depths where two phases are mobile, the perching controls in high permeability contrast formations are studied.

Using a dynamic modelling route, potential water entrapment occurrence as a result of high permeability contrast is shown, without structural control, i.e. an underlying impermeably zone defining a trap. The main control in such a case is water permeability just as in structurally controlled perching. This work challenges the industry view that model initialization should be performed with buoyancy as an equilibrium driving mechanism. Such a saturation modelling route would lead to discrepancies when compared to using the capillary pressure as a direct input instead of buoyancy.
Seismic Attribute Feasibility Study for Fault and Fracture Analysis and Integration with Spectral Decomposition: Application in Sarawak Basin
Authors: Hamidi Rosita , Ghosh Deva
Published: April 2019

Fault and fracture study has a great importance in hydrocarbon prospect exploration and development. Consequently, there have been lots of efforts to analyze the existence and extent of faults in subsurface layers using different methods and tools available to geoscientists; among which the seismic attributes have been proven to be efficient in detecting areas affected by faults and fractures. Seismic attributes help interpreters to highlight details focusing on the geological features of interest in seismic data. However, there are some limitations in the performance of these tools, as the algorithms are dependent on the seismic survey parameters, quality of the data and its existing patterns, and geology of the study area. Consequently, new strategies and algorithms are needed to improve the information obtained from the calculated attributes.

In this study, fault and fracture damage zone analysis is done on three – dimensional seismic data from Sarawak basin in Malaysia. Commonly used seismic attributes to detect such features including variance, dip – magnitude, curvature, and gradient – magnitude are applied. Next, spectral analysis, as a tool to identify events with different frequency content is used which can detect the patterns related to faulting and fracturing of the subsurface layers. The proposed method in this work is to examine the attributes’ performance on spectrally decomposed seismic cubes to unmask the details present at different frequencies. Accordingly, the seismic attributes are applied on the selected cubes, and the color blended cubes of the outputs are evaluated. As the results show, the new strategy reveals more detailed information that already exist in seismic data but cannot be distinguished because they are concealed in the full band seismic cube. Comparing each pair of conventional vs. spectral assisted attributes shows enhancement of the results (more details and better resolution) in all evaluated seismic attributes with the proposed method.
Rate of Penetration Prediction in Shale Formation Using Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Ahmed S Abdulmalek , Elkatatny Salaheldin , Ali Abdulwahab Z , Mahmoud Mohamed , Abdulraheem Abdulazeez
Published: April 2019

Rate of Penetration (ROP) means how fast the drilling bit is drilling through the formations. It is known that in the oil and gas industry, most of the well cost is taken by the drilling operations. So, it is very crucial to drill carefully and improve the drilling processes. Nevertheless, it is hard to know the influence of every single parameter because most of the drilling parameters depend on each other, and altering an individual parameter will have an impact on the other. Due to the difficulty of the drilling operations, up to the present time, there is no dependable model that can estimate the ROP correctly. Consequently, using the artificial intelligence (AI) in the drilling is becoming more and more applicable because it can consider all the unknown parameters in building the model.

In this work, a real filed data that contain the real time surface drilling parameters and the drilling fluid properties were utilized by fuzzy logic (FL) to estimate the rate of penetration. The achieved results proved that fuzzy logic technique can be applied effectively to estimate the rate of penetration accurately with R = 0.97 and AAPE = 7.3%, which outperformed the other ROP models. The developed AI models also have the advantage of using less input parameters than the previous ROP models.

Dance is found in every known human culture as part of religious, social and healing ceremonies. The increased interest in the role of dance in western psychology corresponds with the creation of the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) founded by Marian Chace, and the beginning of the dance movement therapy (DMT). The Association introduced the dance and the dance-based movement as part of the therapeutic process, in order to explore the relationship between the expression of individual emotions and movement. Drawing both from the visual rhetorics approach (Patterson and Corning 1997) and the game studies (Fernández-Vara 2009) I will analyze the multiple narrative layers in the Bound video game (2016), pointing to the mutual relationship the player and the game have on each other (Keogh 2018) decoding the game as a metaphor for the therapeutic effects of dance.

Artykuł jest analizą ramowania albumów zdjęć opublikowanych przez Kancelarię Prezydenta RP w czasie kadencji Bronisława Komorowskiego oraz Andrzeja Dudy, przeprowadzoną w ujęciu porównawczym. Materiałem badawczym są albumy fotografii Prezydentura w obiektywie (2015) oraz Andrzej Duda. Dwa lata prezydentury (2017). Metoda badawcza opiera się na teorii visual framing i uwzględnia retoryczny potencjał takich elementów, jak: format wydawnictwa albumowego, kompozycja, kadrowanie i tematyka zdjęć. Uzyskane wyniki ukazały różne poziomy nasycenia ramami interpretacyjnymi (ramą „władzy”, „ludzkiego interesu”, „zwykłego człowieka” czy „moralności”), które narzucały odbiorcy inne spojrzenie na osobę prezydenta. Wyróżnione ramy pomogły odkryć różne strategie prezentowania wizerunku głowy państwa, a ich systematyczne zastosowanie może świadczyć o perswazyjnym lub ideologicznym celu.

In a writer recognition system, the system performs a “one-to-many” search in a large database with handwriting samples of known authors and returns a possible candidate list. This paper proposes method for writer identification handwritten Arabic word without segmentation to sub letters based on feature extraction speed up robust feature transform (SURF) and K nearest neighbor classification (KNN) to enhance the writer's  identification accuracy. After feature extraction, it can be cluster by K-means algorithm to standardize the number of features. The feature extraction and feature clustering called to gather Bag of Word (BOW); it converts arbitrary number of image feature to uniform length feature vector. The proposed method experimented using (IFN/ENIT) database. The recognition rate of experiment result is (96.666).

Ionized calcium has a biological activity, this study has been debated whether the status of calcium homeostasis in correlated with anti-Mullerian hormone level how does influence the reproductive ability in some pre-menopausal women. The current study was conducted in the college of science for women during the period from February 2015 to May 2016, study population was involved eighty volunteer women (20-35) years enrolled in this study, fifty women with primary infertility considered as a study group, while the other 30 volunteers parous women considered as a control group. ELISA kit was used to assay the serum level of anti-Mullerian and parathyroid hormone, whereas colorimetric technique was applied to evaluate the total calcium, albumin, and inorganic phosphorus serum level, while ionized calcium is achieved by special equation depending on the total calcium and albumin level. Independent T-test analysis was applied to specify any significant variation for investigated parameters between control and study group, linear regression analyses were used to explore the association between ionized calcium and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level in both control and infertile groups. The results revealed that infertile group have significantly (p<0.001) lower mean serum ionized calcium level(4.31±0.61mg/dl)than the control group(5.57±0.45mg/dl) accompanied by significantly (p<0.001) increase in parathyroid hormone level (49.2±32.2 ng/dl) in a study group in comparison with a control group whose reported (92.1±22.2ng/dl) mean concentration ,infertile women revealed significantly decrease mean level in anti-Mullerian hormone (2.59±1.38ng/d)  compared with  the control group (3.44±1.00ng/dl), linear regression analyses revealed a significant positive relation between's ionized calcium concentration and AMH level (r=0.58, p=0.000, n=40) in the control group, as well, there was a significant strong positive connection was seen between serum ionized calcium and AMH level for the infertile group (r=0.70, p=0.000, n=50),our conclusion suggested that any physiological process including reproductive ability may need in one way or another to balance in the availability of ionized calcium.

This study was conducted in the poultry field that belongs to Animal Production Techniques Department / Al musiab Technical College. To investigate the effect of alcohol extracted ginger supplementation in the diet on some productive traits of broiler chicken ross strain. Two hundred fifty unsexed broiler chicks were equally divided into the five groups, 50 chicks per group, 2 replicates per group (25 chicks per replicate). Chicks were fed on starter diet (1 day- 3 week) and final diet (4-6 week), diets supplemented with five ratios from alcohol extracted ginger (0, 150, 200, 250, 300 mg/kg), the first group was control but the other represented experimental groups.

Results showed a significantly improve (P≤0.05) of average live body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio and dressing percentage in birds supplemented with alcohol extracted ginger as compared with control group at three and six weeks of birds age. As supplementation of alcohol extracted ginger had significantly (P≤0.05) decreased feed consumption and mortality ratio in experimental groups as compared with the control group.

          It can be concluded that supplementation of alcohol extracted ginger to the diet had a positive effect to enhance productive traits of broiler chicken ross strain.

This study aimed to address the concept of deceptive marketing in the most important activity of companies, i.e., marketing, which is the lifeline on which companies depend on the process of financing and product selling. Additionally, through marketing, companies can communicate directly with customers, and this activity includes marketing practices that are deceptive or misleading. The study dealt with the presentation of the components of the marketing mix, and how each component can include deceptive or misleading practices. Marketers practice customer manipulation with the intention of changing customers' behavior and attitudes towards achieving the greatest possible profit in lesser time. With the spread of marketing deception and marketing fraud in various areas, the phenomenon is growing not only in product marketing but also in service marketing, especially insurance services, as many marketers and sales representatives believe that success and profit-making are associated with those practices. The study addressed many factors facilitating these practices, as well as the ways in which marketing deception is practiced and the impact of such practice on the perceptions that form in the minds of customers about companies. One of the most important objectives of the study was to substantiate the relationship between the dimensions of marketing deception and the dimensions of the mental image of the organization by relying on the statistical analysis of the initial data of the study, which was collected through questionnaire that was prepared for this purpose and distributed to a random sample of 225 customers of insurance companies operating in the insurance market in Iraq.

 

The most important findings of the study show that deceptive marketing practiced through the service marketing mix, among other dimensions, affects the mental image that the customers hold towards the organization in negative and varying ways. This study presents a number of recommendations, the foremost of which is the necessity of educating marketers and companies about the negativity of deceptive practices on the company in the long term, as well as paying attention to the mental image held by customers towards the insurance companies because of its impact on the formation of positive impressions towards the company, and thus increasing market share of the company through its reputation in the insurance  market .
