Authors: Kusumaningrum Ervia , Hartati Elis
Published: January 2021

Data show that Central Java ranks 6th for the number of people with disabilities in Indonesia. The Indonesian union for the blind (PERTUNI) community in Semarang reported having 105 people as its members. One of the problems that occur amongst people in PERTUNI is sexual harassment, which results in a negative impact on both their physical and psychological health. This study aimed to identify sexual harassment experiences among visually impaired (blind) adults working as masseurs in the PERTUNI community, Semarang.  This research was a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The participants were six blind people selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed six themes, i.e., helplessness, the fulfillment of daily needs, harassment, the potential for abuse, disruption= of psychological health and avoiding immoral acts. This study concluded that most blind people working as masseurs had experienced sexual harassment in various forms. It is recommended that PERTUNI provides sexual health education as a preventive action to sexual harassment.

Authors: Fairuzzahra Nabila Vina , Ong Susy
Published: January 2021

Gender inequality has been an issue in Japanese employment. This issue is then being reflected by media in Japan through drama series such as Hope: Kitai Zero no Shinnyu Shain. Hope: Kitai Zero no Shinnyu Shain told about a rookie worker and his comerades whom tried so hard to work in trading company. This research aimed to identify and explain how female workers were represented in Hope: Kitai Zero no Shinnyu Shain drama series through the characterization of Kazuki Akane and Shiraishi Ryoko. This research is qualitative descriptive research. To analyze data, this research used semiotic approach by Roland Barthes. The result showed that female workers in the drama series were represented as 1) ones whose main role gender was in domestic sphere; 2) ones who supported male counterparts; 3) subordinates who had lower position than male counterparts. Therefore, this representation reflected gender inequality that occured between male workers and female workers.

This study aims to demonstrate the preparation of carbon microparticles obtained from red dragon fruit peel waste and their adsorption isotherm characteristics. The carbon microparticles were prepared by combining carbonization (at 250°C) and saw-milling process, and to get carbon microparticles with a specific size, sieve analysis was used. The adsorption isotherm was done by testing the adsorption ability of carbon microparticles with a specific size into curcumin solution in the batch-type reactor. The adsorption results were then compared to several standard isotherm models (i.e., Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich models) for understanding what phenomena happen during the adsorption process. The adsorption analysis was also confirmed by testing several sizes of the carbon microparticles to predict the proposal mechanism in the adsorption process. The analysis results showed that the multilayer adsorption process occurs for all sizes in the micrometer range, and the process involves physical interactions between adsorbate and surface of adsorbent. The existence of multilayers is due to the possibility in the existence of porous structure in the carbon microparticles. This study is important for giving an alternative solution for reusable organic waste as well as supporting the fundamental researches in the further applications of carbon particles as catalyst and adsorbent.

Published: January 2021

Photocatalytic removal of Cu(II) in aquatic solutions using TiO2-chitosan nanocomposite  had been studied. The photocatalytic process was carried out using a batch system in a closed reactor equipped with a UV lamp. The results show that the percentage of photocatalytic removal of Cu(II) by TiO2 – chitosan nanocomposite was higher than that TiO2 bulk catalyzing. Under solution containing 20 mg/L of Cu(II), pH 7, three hours of contact time, and employing 20 mg TiO2-chitosan nanocomposite, the Cu(II) removal was successfully done up to 94.55%. The maximum adsorption capacity and the highest kinetic constants were obtained under nanocomposite with the highest amount of chitosan (TiO2-chit 0.13) and nanocomposite containing the highest amount of TiO2 (TiO2-chit 1.3), respectively. The method offers high reusability up to three times with percentage more than 50% of Cu(II) removal. Keyword: Photocatalytic, Cu(II) removal, TiO2-chitosan nanocomposite
Investigation of Synthesis of Sodium Aminodiborane in One Step and Its Reaction Kinetics
Authors: Akkus Meryem Sena , Ozkan Goksel
Published: January 2021

In this study, sodium aminodiborane (NaNH2(BH3)2) synthesis was carried out in a constant volume batch reactor with a single feed at various temperatures and inlet molar ratios. It was synthesized, ammonia borane and sodium hydride as precursors, by a wet chemical reaction method using tetrahydrofuran which is a solvent under atmospheric pressure. These experiments were carried out at varied temperature ranges from 0 °C to 24 °C, and varied inlet molar ratios (AB/NaH) from 0.75 to 1.25. Sodium amidoborane is synthesized when the experiment is carried out in a stoichiometric ratio, but sodium aminodiborane is synthesized when the mole of ammonia borane is higher than the mole of sodium hydride. In order to characterize the products, FTIR, XRD, GC-MS/MS, and quantitative analysis techniques were utilized. In addition, sodium aminodiborane’s synthesis reaction kinetic was determined. r apparent = 0.8594 e ^ (- 4366 / RT) C AB ^ (0.8) C NaH ^ (0.2). The apparent activation energy, Ea, and frequency constant, k0, were calculated about 4366 J/mol and 0.8594 h-1, respectively

Voss Surfaces: A Design Space for Geodesic Gridshells
Authors: Montagne Nicolas , Douthe Cyril , Tellier Xavier , Fivet Corentin , Baverel Olivier
Published: January 2021

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of good fabrication, assembling
and mechanical properties. In this paper, the design of a special family of structures, called geodesic shells, is addressed using Voss nets, a family of discrete surfaces. The use of discrete Voss surfaces ensures that the structure can be built from simply connected, initially straight laths,
and covered with flat panels. These advantageous constructive properties arise from the existence of a conjugate network of geodesic curves on the underlying smooth surface. Here, a review of Voss nets is presented and particular attention is given to the projection of normal vectors on the
unit sphere. This projection, called Gauss map, creates a dual net which unveils the remarkable characteristics of Voss nets. Then, based on the previous study, two generation methods are introduced. One enables the exploration and the deformation of Voss nets while the second provides a more
direct computational technique. The application of theses methodologies is discussed alongside formal examples.

Authors: Cabezas Diego , Oliveira Ivone de Bem , Acker Mia , Lyrene Paul , Munoz Patricio R.
Published: January 2021

Wild germplasm can be classified as the raw material essential for crop improvement. Introgression of wild germplasm is normally used in breeding to increase crop quality or resilience to evolving biotic and abiotic threats. Here, we explore the potential of introgressing Vaccinium elliottii into commercial blueberry germplasm. Vaccinium elliottii is a wild diploid blueberry species endemic to the southeastern United States that possesses highly desirable and economically important traits for blueberry breeding such as: short bloom to ripe period, adaptation to upland sandy soils, disease resistance, firmness, and pleasant flavor. To examine the potential of hybridization, we evaluated populations of interspecific hybrids across multiples stages of breeding (i.e., F1, F2, and backcrosses) in two crop seasons. We used our extensive pedigree data to generate breeding values for pre-breeding blueberry hybrid populations. Hybrid performance was evaluated considering fitness (i.e., plant vigor and plant height) in addition to evaluating six fruit-quality and marketable-related traits (i.e., size, firmness, acidity, soluble solids, weight, and yield). Overall, F2 and backcrosses rapidly achieved market thresholds, presenting values not significantly different from commercial blueberry germplasm. Our results confirmed the potential of exploiting the high genetic variability contained in V. elliotii for interspecific hybridization. Additionally, we developed germplasm resources that can be further evaluated and utilized in the breeding process, advancing selections for fruit quality and environmental adaptation.
Gravitation with Cosmological Term, Expansion of the Universe as Uniform Acceleration in Clifford Coordinates
Authors: Kritov Alexander
Published: January 2021

The recently proposed model of the "unified two-dimensional spacetime"[18] shows substantial conformity to Clifford algebras Cl3,0 and Cl0,3. As shown, such two-dimensional spacetime of time and volume corresponds to two Clifford coordinates given by a center of the respective algebra. In the application to comoving frame, the model results in the exact form of the scale factor of the FLRW metric of modern cosmology. This paper formulates and formalizes the approach using Clifford algebras. The study concludes that the Clifford algebra of space (APS)Cen(Cl3,0) has an intrinsic correspondence with the anti-de Sitter (AdS) flat universe and the negative cosmological term that results in an oscillating model of the universe. The approach with anti-Euclidean Clifford algebra Cen(Cl0,3) leads to the de Sitter model with a positive cosmological term. As reviewed, the Clifford algebra has isomorphic algebras and Lie groups corresponding to different from Minkowski spacetime, such as SO(4); therefore, further study may be required regarding their relation to gravitation.

Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis as Key for a Decentralized Sustainable Kerosene Production
Authors: Meurer Andreas , Kern Jürgen
Published: January 2021

Synthetic fuels play an important role in the defossilization of future aviation transport. To reduce the ecological impact of remote airports due to long range transportation of kerosene, a decentralized on-site-production of synthetic paraffinic kerosene is applicable, preferably as near-drop-in fuel or alternatively as blend. One possible solution for such a production of synthetic kerosene is the Power-to-Liquid process. The basic development of a simplified plant layout addressing the specific challenges of a decentralized kerosene production which differ from most current approaches for infrastructural well-connected regions is described. The decisive influence of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on the PtL process is shown by means of a steady-state reactor model which was developed in Python and serves as basis for further development of a modular environment able to represent entire process chains. The reactor model is based on reaction kinetics according current literature. The effects of adjustments of the main operation parameters on the reactor behavior are evaluated and the impacts on up- and downstream processes are described. The results prove the governing influence of the Fischer-Tropsch reactor on the PtL process and show its flexibility regarding the desired product fraction output, which makes it an appropriate solution for a decentralized kerosene production.

Lifestyle change, including diet changes, often lead to an impairment of biological rhythms regulating production of gastrointestinal hormones, enzymes, neuropeptides, and various cytokines that ensure proper functioning of the digestive tract. Such changes are almost always associated with microbiota disorders and increase permeability of the intestinal mucosa. Zonulin is a diagnostic marker regulating intestinal wall stability and modulating the density of intercellular connections. Its biological role and mechanism of action are being actively studied now. This literature review aims to summarize the results of latest studies published over the last five years analyzing the role of zonulin in various diseases and conditions. The article also covers some aspects suggesting that zonulin can be used as a marker of normal functioning of the intestinal barrier not only in therapeutic, but also in obstetric and pediatric practice. Key words: biomarker, inflammatory cytokines, gestation, depression, zonulin, intestinal barrier, metabolism, microbiota, intestinal wall permeability

Objective. To analyze pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the development of endometrial hyperplasia in women of reproductive age. Patients and methods. We have examined 143 women of reproductive age with endometrial hyperplasia (EH). Study participants were divided into three groups: Group I included EH patients without atypia; Group II included patients with atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium; Group III (control group) comprised 56 women with abnormal uterine bleeding, in whom we excluded adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, and iatrogenic causes of uterine bleeding. Genomic DNA was isolated using phenol-chloroform extraction. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect microRNA-210, -18a, -221, and -222. The detection of tumor pyruvate kinase M2 was performed using the ScheBo® Tumor M2-PK kit designed for quantitative assessment of this metabolic cancer marker in plasma and endometrial tissue samples. Results. Significant risk factors triggering the pathogenetic mechanism of EH development in reproductive age include extragenital disorders (obesity, thyroid diseases, diseases of the urinary system, hypertension) and gynecological diseases (pelvic inflammatory diseases, adenomyosis, benign breast dysplasia, uterine fibroids). Alterations affecting estrogen receptors lead to changes in microRNA messengers, which, in turn, affect target genes and cause changes in the adaptive abilities of the cell. Expression of pyruvate kinase M2 in this chain confirms proapoptotic changes in the cell and the risk of its atypia. Conclusion. The pathogenesis of EH is based on the following factors: polymorphism of the ERS1 and PRG genes, increased expression of miRNA-210, -18a, and -222, decreased expression of miRNA-221, and overexpression of pyruvate kinase M2. Key words: endometrial hyperplasia, miRNA, pyruvate kinase M2, progesterone receptors, estrogen receptors

The purpose of this research is to know algebra thinking process of students in rectangular material reviewed from Mathematics ability and gender. The method of this research was qualitative descriptive. The research subjects were 9 female students and 9 male students of grade IX with high, medium, and low Mathematics ability. The research instruments were test and interview. The research results show that female students with high ability have algebra thinking. Male students with high ability have algebra thinking but indicator of concluding and rechecking was not fulfilled yet. Female students with medium ability have algebra thinking but there was carelessness in the calculation. Male students with medium ability have started to thought algebra but at indicator of interpreting and applying Mathematics findings was not fulfilled yet. Female and male students with low ability do not think algebra yet because all indicators were not fulfilled. This occurred because they still did not understand algebra concept until they could not solve Mathematics problem. Female and male students with high and medium ability who already thought algebra can solve Mathematics problem. However, female and male students with low ability still do not think algebra until they cannot solve the problem.
Trigger warnings: A quantitative study on the stigmatization of individuals with a mental illness and university students’ help-seeking intentions
Authors: Copoc Paul
Published: January 2021

Requests for trigger warnings before distressing content in the university classroom have increased, especially to accommodate individuals with a history of trauma. However, no empirical evidence has been collected on the stigmatizing nature of trigger warnings. The trigger warning debate has received mainstream media attention and draws dichotomous lines between those who believe in the protective nature of trigger warnings, and those who believe they are coddling to students. The trigger warning literature is limited, however, and focuses mainly on how trigger warnings affect anticipated or experienced anxiety, emotional regulation, and post-traumatic stress. To date, the literature fails to investigate how trigger warnings influence stigma towards those who may benefit from them most, namely, individuals with a mental illness, and whether trigger warnings influence help-seeking intentions. In this study, participants were psychology students recruited from the University of Guelph. Design: 2 x 2 repeated measures split-plot design with two phases: 1) participants filled out an online survey to provide a baseline for phase two, and 2) participants were randomized into either a trigger warning or control condition and subsequently filled out the same online survey. Analysis: 2 x 2 analysis of variance for each dependent variable (stigma, help-seeking intentions). Results: In this sample, trigger warnings did not have an effect on students’ stigmatization toward individuals with a mental illness or their help-seeking intentions.

A blended learning approach towards reducing the written communication gap: the role of Self-Regulated Learning dimensions
Authors: Herdan Agnieszka , Neri Lorenzo , Russo Antonella , Warren Elizabeth
Published: January 2021

This study analyses the effectiveness of a blended learning strategy, designed to improve the written communication skills of a cohort of Accounting and Finance students. Moore and Morton (2017) stressed that the written communication gap mainly arises due to students’ inability to utilise their writing skills in a dynamic process. Therefore this paper analyses the connection between the self-regulation learning (SRL) strategy, the writing learning process and the blended learning approach. The findings reveal that SRL dimensions play a significant role in the successful application of the blended learning strategy. The dimensions also support the blended approach in enhancing written communications skills among accounting students. The study has relevant and practical implications for promoting the application of a blended learning strategy using SRL successfully. Additionally, our findings offer a learning strategy to address the unresolved skills gap, affecting written communication within Business Schools.

Authors: Pérez Morales Alfredo , Gil Guirado Salvador , Quesada García Aarón
Published: January 2021

En España, las inundaciones representan el peligro con origen en la naturaleza que mayores pérdidas ocasiona, tanto económicas como humanas. Entendido el riesgo como una construcción social, la evaluación de la vulnerabilidad, resulta crucial para mejorar la adaptación de la población expuesta. Entre los métodos empleados para llevar a cabo esas evaluaciones está el uso de índices. En el presente estudio empleamos una réplica del SOVI® (Social Vulnerability Index), uno de los más ampliamente utilizados a nivel mundial y cuya integración se ha puesto en práctica en un área de especial sensibilidad ante las inundaciones, el litoral mediterráneo de la Región de Murcia y la Comunidad Valenciana (España). Los resultados obtenidos evidencian una mayor vulnerabilidad social en secciones censales no inundables que en las inundables y pone de manifiesto un patrón de desigualdad social en ámbitos donde la red hidrográfica presenta un funcionamiento efímero y súbito como las ramblas.

Penelitian terhadap hadith Nabi, menurut Syuhudi Ismail adalah sangat penting dilakukan karena dimotivasi oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya adalah: pertama, hadith merupakan salah satu sumber pokok ajaran Islam; kedua, tidak semua hadith tertulis di zaman Nabi Muhammad Saw; ketiga, ada berbagai kasus manipulasi dan pemalsuan hadith; keempat, proses pengumpulan hadith yang memakan waktu begitu lama; kelima, kitab hadith yang sangat banyak jumlahnya, dengan berbagai macam penyusunan yang berbeda; keenam, adanya periwayatan hadith secara makna. Oleh karenanya mengkaji secara lebih detail diskursus mengenai hadist maudhu’ perlu dilakukan kembali. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana sesungguhnya posisi hadith Maudhu’ dalam keilmuan hadist? Bagaimana para ulama muhaditsin memandang kedudukan hadith Maudhu’ dalam posisinya sebagai sumber hukum? Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam menguraikan masalah tersebut adalah library resecach dengan menggunakan metode content analisis. Berdasarkan pembahasan yang telah dilakukan didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa Hadith Maudhu’ bukanlah termasuk dalam kategori sebuah hadith akan tetapi hanyalah ungkapan seseorang secara dusta yang kemudian disandarkan kepada Nabi Muhammad Saw. Penggunaan istilah “hadith” melihat dari motifnya, pemalsu hadith bermaksud membuat suatu ungkapan dengan tujuan agar orang yang mendengar mau mengikuti kehendaknya.Dalam kategori hadith menurut ulama muhaditsin “hadith maudhu’” termasuk hadith yang paling buruk kualitasnya, karena merupakan hadith palsu yang sama sekali tidak pernah dikatakan, diperbuat maupun ditetapkan oleh Nabi Muhammad Saw. Hadith maudhu’ ini juga haram diriwayatkan oleh siapapun kecuali dengan menjelaskan kepalsuannya. Demikian pula hadith ini tidak bisa dijadikan sebagai sumber dalam hukum Islam.
MENUJU FIQIH PROGRESIF (Fiqih Modern Berdasarkan Maqashid Al Syariah Perspektif Jaser Auda)

ABSTRAK : Penelitian ini berangkat dari sebuah stigma bahwa Islam dianggap menjadi agama yang kaku dan sebagian orang melabeli Islam sebagai agama garis keras, agama yang statis, agama yang normatif dan tradisional. Mengingat kompleksitas permasalahan Islam yang semakin komplek, perlu adanya rekonstruksi dan reaktualisasi Fiqih atau Hukum Islam yang bersifat abstak dan kaku menjadi Fiqih atau Hukum Islam yang bersifat konkrit dan luwes. Salah satunya adalah tawaran Jaser Auda dalam konsep Maqashid al Syari’ah dalam hukum Islam atau fikih. Jasser Auda mencoba mengkonstruk ulang konsep Maqashid Al Syariah lama yang bersifat protection and preservation menuju pada teori maqashid al syariah yang bersifat pada development and rights. Pendekatan Maqashid Al Syariah adalah pendekatan teori fiqih yang bersifat holistic (Kulliyun) dan tidak membatasi pada teks ataupun hukum parsialnya. Namun lebih mengacu pada prinsip-prinsip tujuan universal. Dalam kajian Maqashid Al Syari’ah, pendekatan sistem dilakukan melalui beberapa langkah, yaitu, Pertama, Memvalidkan semua pengetahuan (multi pendekatan/ilmu). Kedua, Menggunakan Prinsip-prinsip Holistik. Ketiga, Keberanian membuka diri dan melakukan pembaharuan. Keempat, Mengukur qat’i dan ta’arud dari sisi ketersediaan bukti pendukung dan penentuan skala prioritas berdasarkan kondisi sosial yang ada dan bukan dari verbalitas teks. Kelima, Menggunakan pertimbangan Maqashid sebagai pendekatan penetapan Fiqih atau Hukum Islam. Pendekatan Maqashid Al Syari’ah hendaknya dijadikan sebagai tujuan pokok dari semua dasar metodologi linguistik dan rasional dalam Ijtihad, terlepas dari berbagai varian metode dan pendekatanya. Karena, merealisasikan Maqashid Al Syari’ah sebagai sistem, pendekatanya akan dapat mencapai keterbukaan, Pembaharuan, realistis dan fleksibel dalam sistem Hukum Islam atau Fiqih.
Technology Focus: Formation Evaluation (February 2021)
Authors: Carpenter Chris
Published: January 2021

This marks the first of two Formation Evaluation features for 2021. This topic, along with EOR Operations and Artificial Lift, had such a high number of devoted conference papers, and a high degree of reader interest, that it was expanded and will appear in the August issue as well. The papers chosen by reviewer Rahul Dastidar explore innovative approaches developed by authors of SPE conference papers toward avoiding data bias, working around the absence of openhole data, and reducing the uncertainty of mass-transport complexes.

Paper SPE 201358 addresses the problem of bias in inverted transverse-relaxation time (T2) distributions in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The authors discuss two quality-control approaches that are not meant to replace linearly inverted T2 distributions but which can optimize NMR measurements in real time.

The next paper outlines important experience gained in two tight gas fields offshore the UAE for which openhole data were not available for purposes of petrophysical evaluation. The answer, according to the authors of paper SPE 202894, is the use of cased-hole log data. As with the previous paper, the solution is not necessarily offered as a replacement to a conventional approach but as an effective backup solution to a commonly encountered issue.

The third paper explores challenges in petrophysical assessment in a wildcat project in Colombia involving mass-transport deposits. The authors of paper SPE 203016 develop a work flow that integrates NMR, multifunction spectroscopy, borehole images, and radial sonic measurements to overcome the uncertainty of non-Archie rock formations.

As always, SPE authors continue to innovate in the face of challenges both expected and unexpected - a concept with which all of us can identify as of late. I hope these three papers, as well as the other Technology Focus synopses included in this issue, provide insight and inspiration.
Survive, Revive, Thrive: Chapter 3: Getting Oriented

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. - Theodore Roosevelt, 26th US President

Getting Oriented - The Only Wrong Direction Is Backwards

I begin this column by saying that after attending several recent SPE events filled with students and professionals, all virtual of course, that I have seen the very best of us as members of SPE. To a person, you all have been nothing short of inspiring. Our members know that there is a better tomorrow on the horizon and diligently prepare for the days when our industry begins to thrive again. On the other hand, the industry consolidations and workforce reductions continue, and frankly, I don’t know of anyone whose life and career has not been touched by this pandemic-induced crisis. It’s an axiom of life that if you cannot control it, then you must control how you deal with it. I believe operating under this axiom will serve us well collectively and individually as we push through the pandemic.

I want to repeat a passage from my remarks at the President’s Session on Member Monday at ATCE in late October.

“As an industry, we are as relevant as ever, even more so now. And further, our industry continues to provide economic growth, as well as access to cleaner water, better food, and affordable transportation. I am a believer, a true believer, I believe in what we do, in who we are, and how important our contributions are to society … I want to thank each of you for your time and effort in support of SPE. We are who we are because of what you have done, and we are who we will become because of your commitment to serve this industry and our global society. The world needs what we do - now, more than ever.”

I want you to know that I believe in our mission and our future. As we “Get Oriented,” I want to assure you that as a discipline, we will become stronger, and as an organization, SPE will become more focused on content generation and delivery than at any time in its history. Most importantly, I want to assure you that SPE will continue to serve its members and its global community as the preeminent technical organization in upstream oil and gas. It is imperative that you “Get Oriented” with what you can do and will do in the future as SPE continues to evolve.
Comments: Oilfield Services Face Low and Slow Recovery

OPEC’s easing of production cuts originally planned for January may be delayed until mid-2021 because of the global increases in COVID-19 cases occurring in November. As restrictions are renewed, extended, or newly instated, fuel demand is expected to decrease.

Following a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) meeting on 16 November, OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo underscored the need to remain “vigilant and diligent” in the months ahead. The JTC recommended that supply increases be postponed from 3 to 6 months.

The OPEC ministers plan to hold an online meeting on 30 November to decide on production levels among the 13 member countries. By the time you read this in early December, their decisions - and the market responses to them - will be evident.

Approximately 7.7 million B/D, or about 8% of global production, are currently tamped down. The recent encouraging announcements of two vaccines’ effectiveness in early clinical trials buoyed oil prices, which are hovering around $40/bbl (West Texas Intermediate closed at $41.38 on 16 November).

The past 8 months brought with them upheavals in operators’ and service companies’ short-term reactions to market conditions based on their financial resiliency, and as the pandemic persists, the fallout sputters on as layoffs, bankruptcy filings, mergers and acquisitions, and new collaborative business deals arise almost daily.

One sector thought to have bottomed out globally is oilfield services (OFS) and drilling, according to Moody’s Investors Service’s outlook published 13 November. Improvement in earnings is expected to be slow in 2021 as a result of the limited growth forecast in development activities and capital investment. Low and slow growth may be the sector’s motto for some time.

The record lows in the third quarter of this year in the drilling rig count and well completion/servicing activity hit the OFS hard after operators reined in capital spending. Some recovery in the US has occurred since August when the rig count tanked at 244. By late October, it neared 300. The international rig count drop has slowed and reached fewer than 700 by later October. Moody’s reported the decrease will continue, but at a slower rate, through the end of this year.
