Authors: Souza Pricila Rodrigues de , Andrade Maria do Carmo Ferreira de
Published: July 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivos apresentar estudos de casos que abordam o conceito de Ensino Híbrido e dois de seus modelos: modelo de rotação por Estações de Trabalho e o modelo de Sala de Aula Invertida, além de engajar docentes para o planejamento de suas próprias experiências com ensino híbrido. A temática abordada neste trabalho é considerada uma tendência de ensino em todo mundo, tanto pela combinação da aprendizagem on-line e off-line, como por apresentar aos docentes a implementação de estratégias direcionadas para a personalização do ensino. A metodologia adotada consistiu na coleta da literatura pertinente ao tema no Brasil e em outros países, com as definições, características, experiências e sugestões de sites para aprofundamento dos dois modelos de ensino híbrido, para que o leitor possa conhecer este relevante tema, caso decida por uma possível implementação dos modelos. Como resultado, a pesquisa mostra que os processos de ensino e aprendizagem tradicionais não respondem mais às demandas do mundo contemporâneo, muito menos ao perfil do aluno do século XXI, e discute o surgimento do ensino híbrido, ou Blended Learning, em que blend, na língua inglesa, significa combinar, misturar, ou seja, um modelo de ensino e aprendizagem que combina ensino presencial (tradicional) e ensino on-line (e-learning) como uma possibilidade que responda a uma demanda. Assim, ressalta-se que o termo blended learning, ou b-learning, está relacionado a um ensino semipresencial, ou ensino híbrido, como nova forma de ensinar e aprender, uma convergência do ensino virtual com o presencial, redimensionando o ensino tradicional.

Authors: Madalena Diego , Teza Pierry
Published: July 2021

Atualmente é possível observar as constantes mudanças pelas quais passa o ambiente, que é alterado em seus mais amplos e diversificados âmbitos, sejam eles culturais, políticos, econômicos ou sociais. No cenário empresarial, como um dos maiores afetados com as transformações ocasionadas, as organizações têm almejado cada vez mais resultados em função de redução de custos, ampliando seus esforços em qualidade, produtividade, competitividade e excelência. O presente trabalho investigou como são formuladas as estratégias de produção industrial em uma organização industrial do setor moveleiro. A abordagem de pesquisa adotada foi a qualitativa, sendo a estratégia de pesquisa o estudo de caso. Como resultados, verificou-se, entre outros, que: a) a organização não possui um processo de formulação de suas estratégias formalmente definido; b) a função produção na prática possui valorização da organização como diferencial competitivo; e c) a estratégia de produção não atinge os níveis operacionais de maneira eficiente. Ainda foram identificados os seguintes pontos de melhoria na formulação e implementação das estratégias de produção na organização: a) a comunicação entre as partes envolvidas no processo de formulação e implementação das estratégias de produção também pode ser otimizada pelo uso de rotinas formalizadas para tal; b) a organização deve evitar separar os processos de formulação e de implementação das estratégias, tendo em vista aproveitar contribuições dos diversos envolvidos, direta e indiretamente, no processo; e c) as categorias de decisão são tratadas e recebem os devidos planos de ações, porém não existe formalidade na categorização das decisões por parte da estratégia de produção.
Processo de extração das proteínas de soro de leite para produção de concentrado proteico
Authors: Bagio Luz Gabriela
Published: July 2021

O soro de leite, obtido como subproduto durante o processamento de queijos e gerado em larga escala em laticínios, possui elevado valor nutricional decorrente de sua composição de proteínas de alto valor biológico, aminoácidos essenciais e de cadeia ramificada. O método de extração das proteínas de soro de leite mais utilizado é a ultrafiltração, sendo um processo de separação do soro em que a água e os solutos são removidos pela passagem por uma membrana semipermeável, resultando na concentração das proteínas de soro de leite. A metodologia utilizada na elaboração deste artigo consistiu em revisão bibliográfica, sendo levantados dados sobre o tema por meio de livros, artigos nacionais e internacionais, impressos e online, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado. O impacto ambiental gerado pelo descarte incorreto deste subproduto tem levado à utilização dos concentrados proteicos também chamados de whey protein, para produção de suplementos alimentares de uso esportivo. A funcionalidade tecnológica dessas proteínas também possibilita seu uso pelas indústrias de alimentos como matéria-prima para formulações de produtos, dada sua capacidade absortiva, elástica, gelificante, emulsionante e outras propriedades funcionais.

Authors: Moreira Bruno César Melo , Da Silva Everaldo Hipólito , Andrade Lelis Pedro , Tonelli Adriano Olímpio
Published: July 2021

O artigo apresenta a análise das empresas de confecção que constituem o Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) de confecções da cidade de Formiga (MG), setor este que se caracteriza como o maior dinamizador da economia do município. O estudo objetiva identificar os fatores determinantes da inovação nas referidas empresas por meio de um survey aplicado com seus principais gestores. Os resultados mostram que a prática da inovação nas empresas é entendida apenas como um meio para a redução de custos de produção. Essas evidências sugerem que ainda não há um aproveitamento de todo o potencial inovativo das organizações, embora haja alguns traços, sobretudo de inovação de processos, em boa parte das empresas.
Compartilhamento de conhecimento e ontologia: estado da arte sobre o olhar da engenharia do conhecimento
Authors: Canto Cleunisse Rauen De Luca
Published: July 2021

A forma como os indivíduos e as organizações adquirem, criam, compartilham e disseminam conhecimento possui uma nova dinâmica com o surgimento da Era do Conhecimento. O uso cada vez mais frequente de sistemas baseados em conhecimento empregando ontologias é crescente nas organizações. Para que ocorra a conversão do conhecimento, é necessário um ambiente apropriado para que as pessoas, a organização e o próprio ambiente permaneçam em sintonia, gerando conhecimento organizacional. Na literatura, por exemplo, são inúmeros os artigos que reforçam a importância de haver captura e transferência do conhecimento, tanto no nível individual quanto no coletivo. A motivação, a criatividade, a capacidade de percepção para o trabalho em equipe, além de valores, são aspectos essenciais e formadores do capital humano. A facilidade de acesso às ferramentas tecnológicas, especificamente de informação e comunicação (TICS), são estímulos para os colaboradores compartilharem conhecimento e, consequentemente, criarem ontologias de forma assertiva com seus pares. Esta revisão objetivou, então, entender a relação entre o compartilhamento de conhecimento e a ontologia, no contexto da Gestão e da Engenharia do Conhecimento. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa teórica, de caráter exploratório-descritivo, por meio de um levantamento bibliográfico, que possibilitou confirmar a relevância e o vínculo entre os temas discorridos. O conhecimento como insumo do compartilhamento de conhecimento e sua formalização, por meio de metodologias e ferramentas, permite a construção de ontologias, caracterizando a abordagem interdisciplinar dos temas abordados pelos diferentes autores citados.

Ethiopian agricultural lands are fragile due to inherent unfavourable soil properties, over-exploitation, mismanagement (deforestation, over-grazing and inappropriate land use systems) and harsh weather conditions. These factors are worsened by changing climatic conditions, leading to significant problems in terms of soil erosion and loss of soil fertility. The consequences of such processes can be detected at the economic (agricultural production is currently being jeopardized)and biological (risks of biodiversity loss and habitat fragmentation)levels. However, the use of tree/shrub species in various agroforestry practices can increase soil nutrient supply through nitrogen fixation, improve soil structure, reduce soil erosion and nutrient losses. A study was carried out in the Amhara region, Ethiopia to evaluate the effect of home garden and parkland agroforestry practices on selected soil chemical properties. Soil samples were taken from 20x20m square plots established in home garden agroforestry and adjacent agricultural land without trees (control). In parkland agroforestry practice, two dominant tree species in each of the five villages were chosen. Soil samples were taken from the tree at the midpoint of the canopy projection, at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depths. The collected soil samples were air-dried, homogenized and passed through a 2 mm sieve for subsequent soil chemical analysis. The results indicated that all soil chemical properties except total nitrogen were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by the agroforestry practices.Higher soil organic carbon, organic matter, available phosphorus,and exchangeablepotassium were found in the home garden agroforestry practice, while the lowest values were recorded in without-tree fields (control). All soil chemical properties except soil pH decreased as the soil depth increased. Higher value of organic carbon, available phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium were found in the home garden agroforestry likely because of a higher proportion of deep-rooted tree/shrub species and species belonging to the legume functional group. Therefore, the home garden agroforestry practice can be used as an ecologically friendly and sustainable alternative to maintaining soil fertility.
Phenology of flowering and fruiting and effect of KNO3 and H2O2 on germination process of amorphophallus muelleri blume

Amorphophallus muelleriBlume also known as Indonesian Konjac (IK, in short) is a wild plant that spreads out in Indonesia especially in the southern part. The genus Amorphophalluscan also be found in some countries in South-East Asia. The IK tuber contains glucomannan, a compound which has high economic value as raw material in many industries such as food, drink, pharmacy, cosmetics, paper, rubber, textile, film industries and many others. The plant is easy to cultivate. Due to the economic benefit of IK tubers and to the easiness of its cultivation, this study was carried out to increase the productivity of glucomannan. The current productivity is still low compared to foreign demand. For example, in 2020 alone, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Republic of Indonesia, only 12 % of foreign demand have been fulfilled. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase the productivity of IK tubers. This is the main problem of this research. Its objectives were two-fold. First, was to study the effect of tuber weight on flowering percentage, flower size, and fruiting which is represented by the number of fruits and the number of seeds. Second, was to find out the right concentration of KNO3and H2O2solutions as well as the soaking time in those solutions to break the dormancy period and to increase the germination rate. For these purposes, a laboratory experiment using completely randomized design with three treatments was conducted and the collected data were analyzed using general linear model, analysis of variance and multiple comparison test. The results indicate that the tuber weight significantly affects the flowering percentage, flower size, number of fruits and number of seeds of IK. The heavier the planted tuber, the higher the flowering percentage and the larger the flower size, number of fruits and number of seeds. The response on dormancy breaking treatment indicates that there is no significant effect of soaking treatment in KNO3 and H2O2 solutions on dormancy period of the IK seeds. The KNO3and H2O2solutions have only effect on increasing the germination rate and on shortening the time period for seeds to germinate. Moreover, unlike H2O2, there is no residual effect of KNO3on seeding growth, and on weight and shape of the IK tuber. To the knowledge of the authors, these findings are unprecedented and could thus,contribute to the literature.

Achieving food and nutrition security is fundamental to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to its strong interdependence with economic growth and development. Eradicating hunger and all forms of malnutrition (SDG 2) remain high on the global agenda and is at the forefront of high panel deliberations because poor dietary intake has long term negative consequences on individuals and economic advancement. The goal to end hunger and malnutrition can be achieved when food and nutrition insecurity is properly tackled through investment in agriculture parallel to economic and social protection programmes. In Ghana, about 1.5 million of the population are estimated to be food insecure while undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies persist across the life stages. Challenges to food and nutrition security in Ghana have been identified as: poverty, climate change, rapid urbanization and population growth, gender inequalities and poor infrastructure. Poor economic growth, health, education, hygiene and environmental exploitation are implications of these challenges. Addressing these implications sets long-term foundation for the development of the nation by prioritising policies that are nutrition sensitive which directly address the complexity of malnutrition. The level of food and nutrition insecurity in Ghana can be reduced through a national commitment towards addressing the four pillars of food security coupled with programmes that bring about resilience through sustainable systems. To this end, intervention programmes have been introduced by government to reduce the poverty burden on households. These programmes are in the form of social interventions, governmental flagship projects, and research-driven agricultural interventions to improve yield that withstand the effect of climate change. This review is aimed to present the food and nutrition security situation in Ghana and emphasised the challenges that exacerbate the problem while bringing to light the nutritional implications to national development. It is hoped that the recommendations from this review will help the government in achieving food and nutrition security in Ghana.

Published: July 2021

Currently, the need to develop measures to prevent the negative economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic is primary for most countries in the world. Determining the ways of possible impact on the physical and informational form of the spread of a new coronavirus infection seems to be especially relevant in the context of a global problem. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the physical and informational forms of the spread of coronavirus infection on the set of indicators characterizing the labor market, e.g. the unemployment rate, average wages in different types of economic activity, employer's need for the labour force; to identify the logic of behaviorof the Russian society by studying the dynamics of search queries in January--August 2020; to identify possible ways to minimize negative economic effects caused by the coronavirus pandemic. As a result of the study carried out within the labor market, a fundamentally new property of the pandemic was revealed --- the "effect of delaying physical consequences", the multidirectional influence of the physical and informational forms of the coronavirus spread on a number of indicators characterizing the labor market was established. The rapid adaptation of the Russian society to remote employment in lockdown and severe restrictive measures has been confirmed
What Can Victims of Intimate Partner Violence in Iran Learn From the Google Search Engine?
Authors: Nikparvar Fatemeh , Stith Sandra M.
Published: July 2021

Given the ever-increasing number of people accessing the Internet and the widespread use of search engines, social activists and human rights advocates have a great opportunity to use this resource to better serve victims of intimate partner violence (IPV), create cultural movements, and even create pressure to change the laws. This study utilized qualitative methods to analyze the content of the Google search engine to learn what information regarding IPV in Iran is available in Farsi language. Scholarly articles and the links addressing IPV in other Farsi language countries were excluded. Three themes were found: “knowledge,” “barriers and obstacles,” and “solutions.” The implications and suggestions derived from this study are designed to help activists better use the digital world to raise awareness about IPV in Iran.
Tendencias minimalistas en la gestión de los bosques tropicales mexicanos: motivaciones y experiencias

Tropical timber regions across the world share common problems such as degradation and poor regeneration after timber harvesting. Traditional Mayan land management through slash and burn is now recognized as an effective way of renewing forest stands in multispecies tropical forests. The practice of slash and burn for forest management in Mexico has led to area regulation, which has made land value a convenient means of assessing alternative forest plans. The use of expected land value as a performance indicator shifts the manager's attention from managing a species mix to balancing financial tradeoffs between liquidation or retention of the standing biomass. Since the forest-wide residual stock is so large, land value overrides the importance of revenue from timber sales. Several forest management methods along these lines have appeared in tropical regions of Mexico over a thirty-year time span and represent a patrimonial system of forest management (PS). The gradual innovation generated by PS is described here, as well as examples of PS practices. PS methods today provide stewardship for a total of 155,814 ha in different parts of Mexico. PS performance will become evident in the long run; in the meantime, the embrace of PS by private landowners and regulatory institutions is equated with a positive, independent opinion about PS design. The Mexican experience suggests pathways for rational management of all types of forests. PS features that are worth replicating are, for instance, the inclusion of disturbance patterns as factors in decision making, as well as the use of specific silvicultural regimes for roads, woodlands, closed forests, hilltops, swamps, riparian zones, clearings and forest edges.

Along the edges of the Congo basin forest, where forest-savannah mosaics are the main ecological formation, it is important to determine how this mosaic has developed, particularly for forest protection. Have savannah lands resulted from deforestation or have forest patches expanded into them? Given the long-standing human occupation of this region, this question needs to be addressed through human-environment relationships over time. Combining oral histories of village mobility and geographical analyses of a forest-savannah mosaic in the Bolobo territory (Democratic Republic of Congo) can shed light on the landscape dynamics. This study involved nine months of daily participant observations of human land use practices, 40 individual interviews and 18 focus groups to analyse changing village mobility from the late 19th century to the present. Several maps were produced by combining oral histories of past village mobility with an evaluation of 44 GPS landmarks corresponding to former villages. Two Principal Component Analyses (PCA), based on landscape composition within a 250 m-radius buffer zone around the GPS landmarks, according to a land cover map classifying the landscape into 11 categories, were used to document forest expansion into old abandoned villages and the effect of distance from currently inhabited villages. Forest cover expanded into the abandoned villages and the savannah as a consequence of environmental eutrophication facilitating forest establishment. Forest use decreases with distance from currently inhabited villages as a result of a shift from semi-sedentary livelihoods in small settlements to entirely sedentary livelihoods in larger, extended villages. Livelihood transformations that took place during and after colonisation resulted in a decline in the quality of environmental goods and reduced the well-being of human populations. These insights can help NGO conservation and development efforts to be more sensitive to overlooked local human practices and needs.
A Model To Estimate Synchronous Vibration Amplitude For Detection of Unbalance in Rotor-Bearing System
Authors: Jamadar I.M.
Published: July 2021

A numerical technique for detection of unbalance magnitude of a rotor-bearing system is proposed and verified by experimental analysis. Dimensional analysis is used for development of mathematical model of an unbalanced rotor-bearing system following rigid rotor approach. A developed mathematical model is solved by factorial regression analysis method using the experimental data obtained by a Box-Behnken design. The proposed approach integrates the rotor parameters, disc parameters, bearing parameters and operating conditions with the synchronous vibration amplitude. Confirmation experiments are conducted using Taguchi design methodology with unbalance mass, rotor speed, mass eccentricity and radial load as parameters with different levels assigned to them.
Warning Effect Evaluation and Control for Vehicle Turn Signal Sound
Authors: Xiang Yunfeng , He Yansong , Zhang Zhifei , Xu Zhongming
Published: July 2021

The sound quality of a turn signal sound is directly related to the driving safety and influences comfort during driving. A turn signal sound and interior noise always exist simultaneously while driving. However, none of the studies are performed to observe and control the change of a turn signal sound when the vehicle interior noise was changed. Therefore, this paper develops a method to evaluate and control the warning effect of a turn signal sound masked by vehicle interior noise. First, the turn signal sound and the vehicle interior noise at different speeds are measured and the time-frequency characteristics of the turn signal sound is analyzed. Second, the pairwise comparison method is applied to subjectively evaluate the warning effect of the sounds and the warning effect of the turn signal sound at 6~speeds relative to that at 40~km/h was obtained. Third, a new hearing threshold evaluating the warning effect is developed and used as a sound metric. This metric is employed to evaluate objectively the warning effect of warning sounds at different speeds. The subjective evaluation results are consistent with the objective evaluation results, which confirms the validity of objective evaluation. To keep the warning effect of the warning sound during the driving, two methods of controlling the turn signal sound are proposed and will be researched further in the future.

Criticism As A Resistance Strategy in Fārūq Juwaidah’s Poems
Authors: Purnamawati Zulfa
Published: July 2021

This study aims to reveal the resistance strategy used by Faruq Juwaidah, an Egyptian poet who has high concern for the fate of the Palestinians who are under Israeli Zionist rule. The object of this research material is Risalatun Ila Sarun I and II in which there are resistance values. The method used is a semiotic reading which consists of heuristic and hermeneutic reading. The results of this study indicate that the resistance strategy in Faruq Juwaidah's poetry is criticism. This form of criticism is expressed in characterization which in psychological terms is called labeling. In this term used  tasybīh and isti'ārah, which are the likeness of a pig, dog and cobra. In addition, criticism is also carried out by directly pinning negative traits, such as qabīh "bad", al-mal'un "the cursed", jabbanun "coward" al-fāsiqu "people who do bad things", and al- ' irbidu "a bad person in character". In addition, criticism is also expressed by the satire. The use of satire is a considered effective way to make political and social criticism, especially at the actions taken by Israeli Zionists who have tormented the Palestinian people.

Published: July 2021

Strike has become one of the most effective tools used by workers to drive home their demands and the intensity of this varies from one sector to another. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate strike proneness and why public sector industries are more strike prone in Nigeria. The study takes an exploratory approach by reviewing extant literatures as a focal point of analysis to determine the extent of strike intensity among industries in the public sectors with a view towards drawing up relevant justifications. The findings of the study shows that in comparison with other sectors, education as sub sector of public sector are more strike prone  and the reason generally for public sector strike proneness is because  government is the highest employer of labour as well as the umpire ensuing the behaviour of an employer  and at  the same time involve in the regulatory framework that guides the employment relations between the employer and employees in the private and public sector which often leads to unilateral decisions in the face of collective bargaining ; unfair treatment of employees and anti-union activities appears to be factors responsible for more industrial strike in the public sector among others. Therefore, the study recommend that government should practice unbiased democracy that is just, fair and deal equitably with the respective organized union so as to prevent conflict and not control conflict because of the after math consequences.
Patient and Public Involvement Within Orthopaedic Research
Authors: Owyang Dean , Bakhsh Ali , Brewer David , Boughton Oliver R. , Cobb Justin P.
Published: July 2021

Background:

We performed a systematic review of patient and public involvement in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the field of orthopaedic surgery. We assessed the prevalence, extent, and quality of patient and public involvement (PPI) in current academic orthopaedic practice.

Methods:

A literature search of the Cochrane, MEDLINE, and Embase databases was performed; we identified RCTs that were published between 2013 and 2020 in the 10 orthopaedic surgery journals with the highest impact factors. Inclusion of studies was based on set criteria, and they were analyzed for their validity. The results were assessed for the rate and the quality of PPI reporting. The Wright and Foster guidelines and the GRIPP2-SF (Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public-2 short form) checklist were used to assess PPI reporting. This review was reported in line with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

Results:

An initial 2,107 results were identified. After the screening process, 475 full-text articles were identified and reviewed. Two papers that described PPI were included in this review. One paper used PPI to inform the research question, the choice of primary outcome, the oversight of the study schedule, and the dissemination of the results. The second article used PPI to design the study protocol. Both articles poorly reported the impact of PPI on the research.

Conclusions:

To our knowledge, this systematic review is the first to describe the prevalence, extent, and quality of PPI reporting in orthopaedic RCTs. Barriers to adequate PPI reporting are multifactorial and stem from a lack of systematic uptake of PPI guidelines and a lack of compulsory PPI reporting from publishing bodies.

Clinical Relevance:

PPI can improve the quality of clinical trials by focusing on the clinical questions and outcomes that are most important to patients. This article assesses the prevalence of PPI reporting in orthopaedic RCTs.
Arthroscopic All-Inside Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair with and without Inferior Extensor Retinacular Reinforcement

Background:

The utility of inferior extensor retinacular (IER) reinforcement for arthroscopic repair of a lateral ankle injury is debatable. We hypothesized that the outcomes would not differ significantly between arthroscopic all-inside anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair with and without IER reinforcement.

Methods:

We prospectively randomized 73 patients who had arthroscopic all-inside ATFL repair into 2 groups: those who had IER reinforcement (37 patients) and those who had no IER reinforcement (36 patients). The primary outcome was the Karlsson Ankle Functional Score (KAFS). The secondary outcomes included the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), Tegner activity score (TAS), ankle range of motion, and radiographic parameters. The functional outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Stress radiographs were obtained preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively.

Results:

The KAFS, all FAOS subscale scores, and TAS improved significantly at 1 year postoperatively in both groups, with no significant differences between the groups with respect to the preoperative and postoperative values. Significant differences were not observed between the ankle range of motion values recorded preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively in both groups; the preoperative and postoperative range of motion values did not differ significantly between the groups. The mean talar tilt and talar anterior translation decreased significantly at 1 year postoperatively in both groups, with no significant differences between the groups preoperatively and postoperatively. One patient in each group had neuralgia of the superficial peroneal nerve; 2 patients in the IER reinforcement group had knot irritation causing mild discomfort.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic all-inside ATFL repair with and without IER reinforcement showed comparable functional and stress radiographic outcomes at 1 year. Performing IER reinforcement in addition to all-inside arthroscopic direct ATFL remnant repair is not necessary.

Case of the Missing Vertebra
Authors: Ikwuezunma Ijezie , Fayad Laura M. , Sponseller Paul D.
Published: July 2021

Case:

A 14-year-old girl with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis underwent imaging in preparation for scoliosis surgery. Posteroanterior traction radiographs showed 4 lumbar vertebrae, while the standing film showed 5. Reconciliation with the component radiographs used for the traction showed the discrepancy was caused by a software error. She underwent surgical correction, and her recovery has been uncomplicated.

Conclusion:

Image stitching errors can lead to false depiction of structural abnormalities. Radiology technicians and clinicians should be cautious when reviewing digitally stitched images. We recommend that technicians label stitched images and indicate the overlapping region to assist with radiographic assessment.

Application of Advanced Data Analytics for Gas Reservoirs and Wells Management
Authors: Srinivasan Ashwin , Modi Gaurav , Agrawal Rahul , Kumar Viren
Published: July 2021

Objectives/Scope

The amount of time and effort required to access and integrate Subsurface data from multiple sources is significant. Using Advanced Data Analytics, mainly python, an integrated subsurface dashboard titled Hybrid Integrated Visualization Environment (HIVE) was created using Spotfire to empower the integrated Exploration, Development and Well Reservoir and Facilities Management (WRFM) subsurface teams in:

Professionalizing data and knowledge management to have "one" version of the truth. Data consolidation and preparation to avoid repetitive manual work & Enhancing opportunity identification to optimize production and value

Methods, procedure, process

The approach of subsurface data integration can be broken down into 4 major steps, namely:

Step 1: Python programming was used to pre-process, restructure and create unified data frames. Use of python significantly reduces the time required to pre-process a diverse number of subsurface data sources consisting of static, dynamic reservoir models, log data, historical production & pressure data and wells & completion data to name a few. Step 2: - Standard diagnostic industry recognized diagnostic plots were automated using advanced analytic techniques in HIVE with the help of unified data frames. Step 3: HIVE was created to link various internal corporate data stores like pressure, temperature, rate data from PI System (stores real time measured data), Energy Components (EC) and Oil Field Manager (OFM) in real time. This was done to ensure that data from various petroleum engineering disciplines could now be visualized and analyzed in a structured manner to make integrated business decisions. Step 4: One of the key objectives of pursuing this initiative was to ensure that subsurface professionals in Shell Trinidad and Tobago were trained and upskilled in the use of python as well visualization tools like Spotfire and Power BI to ensure the maintenance and improvement of HIVE going forward.

Results, Observations, Conclusions

The development of HIVE has made it easier and more efficient to access and visualize subsurface data, which was extremely time consuming earlier while using older conventional techniques. Standard diagnostic plots and visuals were developed and are now used to drive integrated decision making, with key focus being water and sand production management from a production management perspective. Consequently, HIVE also drives enhanced integration between disciplines (Petrophysics, Petroleum Geology, Production Technology, Reservoir Engineering and Production operations) and departments (Developments, Upstream and Exploration).

Novel/Additive Information

The petroleum industry has started to embrace the application of advanced data analytics in our day-to-day work. A successful application of these techniques results in transforming the ways of working by increasing efficiency, transparency and integration among teams.
