Understanding the Religious-Mystical Experience within the Framework of Analytical Psychology: Refraction of the Universalist Paradigm
Authors: Shugurov Mark Vladimirovich , Mozzhilin Sergei Ivanovich
Published: February 2023

The subject of the research is the approach of analytical psychology to understanding the content and meaning of mystical experience represented by religious and esoteric traditions. The purpose of the presented article is to reveal the content, directions and results of the conceptualization of religious-mystical experience within the framework of the psychological theory of religion characteristic of analytical psychology, as well as the justification of the universalist paradigm as the basis of this conceptualization. The authors consider in detail the mystical aspects of both analytical psychology itself and the psychological theory of religion formulated within its framework. Special attention is paid to the role of individual mystical and religious experiences of C.G. Jung himself as the empirical basis of this theory. The main conclusions are the theoretical provisions that, unlike religious studies, analytical psychology, involving theology and new religious movements in dialogue, aims to solve the practical problem of resolving the spiritual crisis of modernity on the basis of a new interpretation of mental health achieved with the help of appropriate psychoanalytic practices leading a person to revive his mystical experience, which has a syncretic and trans-confessional nature. A special contribution of the research is the substantiation of the position that the approach of analytical psychology to the phenomenon of religious-mystical experience correlates with the universalist paradigm in religious studies, according to which all mystical traditions, both religious and non-religious, contain certain invariants. A generalization is formulated according to which the result of the implementation of this kind of universalism on the part of analytical psychology was the erosion of the classical Christian mystical tradition, at least its Western Christian version, which led to the replacement of the latter with new mystical practices in line with new religious movements.
De la eco-logía a la eco-dicea: la filosofía ante la crisis ecológica
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (España), Marieta Hernández Iñaki
Published: February 2023

Once capitalism’s responsibility in the current ecological crisis is recognized, the necessary response of ecology and environmental activism is insufficient to access the essence of the techno-science that decides our way of inhabiting the planet. The “heideggerian” eco-dicy proposes from the critique of the metaphysical essence of the technique, a new understanding of dwelling that does justice to the different modalities of the living from the ontological difference in which our dwelling of the Earth finds its meaning.
El sol del Renacimiento que alumbra las utopías: un estudio comparativo de la teoría política de Moro, Campanella y Bacon
Authors:   Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (España), Ojeda Déniz Pablo
Published: February 2023

Renaissance utopias belong to a period when Modernity was being built within political thinking, which turns them into a nexus between classical antiquity and the Enlightment, thereby preserving for posterity a series of critical issues, such as democracy, a radical version of natural law or the need for distribution of goods. Christian humanism is also present and, together with Plato’s concept of justice, it enables these utopias to set a different course from that followed by other Renaissance political theory options, founded either on political realism (Machiavelli) or on jus naturale as a justification of an authoritarian state (Bodin). Thus utopia spreads its wings not only announcing Modernity but also the 20th century socialist horizon
Psicopolítica y Educación en la nueva era (breve anatomía del «paradigma neurológico»)
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (España), Blázquez Piqueras María
Published: February 2023

The aim of this paper is to use the approaches of the Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han, on the one hand, to show the challenges that formulate and define our times and, on the other, to focus this view on education. In this sense, it is necessary to define the post-pandemic 21st century society marked by psychopolitics. Education is subject to a framework of unprecedented complexity, due to digitalisation and the acceleration of a world that is perceived as progressing, and yet is becoming increasingly ill due to an excess of positivity. The pedagogy that operates through pleasure and the new relational plane of social networks, which formulate affine and disembodied encounters, eliminates negativity. Education lends itself to a demanding examination as the starting point of this society and is seen as the place where the possibility of transformation arises. In the latter sense it is argued that philosophy in our classrooms has a crucial role to play.
Pedagogía antifascista: una educación inclusiva, democrática y del bien común ante el auge del fascismo y la xenofobia
Authors:   Universidad de León (España), Díez Gutiérrez Enrique Javier
Published: February 2023

This article is an essay that describes how the ideology underpinning neo-fascism is penetrating education, analyses its profoundly reactionary and radically neo-liberal agenda, as well as its main mechanisms of infiltration into classrooms and the education system. But it also considers how to combat the rise of neo-fascism and its progressive «normalisation» by part of society from the school, before this plague spreads even further, as Camus would say, this disease that has the capacity to destroy democracy in the name of democracy itself.

Changes in the stage of adolescence (physical and mental) can be affected by social stereotypes, acting negatively on mental and physical well-being, for example, young homosexuals. The objective of this research was oriented to analyze the level of acceptance of homosexual stereotypes within the homosexual group and determine how it can affect their mental health. Through a quantitative study, data collection is carried out with an instrument based on previous research, (n= 96), belonging to Andalusia. The results show that stereotypes are still negatively present in young homosexuals. The conclusions indicate that homosexual people fear to show themselves as they really are due to accepted social stereotypes.

Published: February 2023

Student nurses must be prepared professionally to provide nursing care, especially during a critical time such as COVID-19. Regardless of undergraduate nursing programmes focusing on preparedness for practice, the concept of preparedness for nursing practice is not well understood. In this descriptive quantitative study, we determined the extent of the nursing practice preparedness of graduating student nurses amid COVID-19 as perceived by these nurses and nurse educators and the possible interventions to enhance the preparedness for practice of these nurses. In the study, we used an adapted Nursing Practice Readiness Tool, employed the complete enumeration survey method and analysed through frequency, percentages and weighted means. A total of 118 student nurses and 51 nurse educators from a selected university completed the questionnaire. The data were analysed through SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that the scales, which ranked from greatest to lowest preparedness for practice, were: professionalism (4.83), communication (4.65), management of responsibilities (4.61), critical thinking (4.36), clinical knowledge (4.26), and technical skills (4.02). We concluded that the students’ performance in the nursing competency items under clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and especially technical skills, demand increased attention to be better equipped as they transition into nursing practice. Specifically, of the 36 competency items, they were least prepared in using clinical and information technologies, and performing clinical procedures. Finally, as the top intervention, we proposed the development of contingency plans for unusual situations such as a pandemic (75.74%) to enhance the student nurses’ preparedness for practice.

Published: February 2023

The preparedness of nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic is of great importance with regard to the unknown future of the pandemic and other similar ones. Identifying nurses’ problems can lead to better planning, preparation and management. In this study, we aim to explore the experiences and challenges of nursing managers’ preparedness for timing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted the research as a qualitative content analysis in Iran in 2022. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured individual interviews with 15 nursing managers who were selected by purposeful sampling. After transcription of the interviews, a content analysis using constant comparison was performed for data analysis based on the Graneheim and Lundman approach. The results of the study can be summarised in the following four main categories and nine subcategories: the necessity of exercises in the same environment (performing exercises to prepare for possible pandemics, experiencing scenes similar to real pandemics, creating the experience of similar environments for the preparation of nurses), educating all members involved in providing services in the COVID-19 pandemic (preparation of non-specialist workers for pandemics, training all members of the treatment and non-treatment team), management and leadership (inappropriate policymaking and unsuitable planning), and processes and structures (processes for providing services and ineffective provision of protective equipment). As we pointed out in this study, it seems that to solve some of these challenges coordination is needed outside the health sector. In addition, the establishment of the National COVID-19 Control Centre can contribute to developing necessary policies and strategies for handling the pandemic.

Published: February 2023

Background: Obesity is a chronic condition defined as excess body fat which is diagnosed based on body mass index, abdominal circumference, and is associated with an increased risk of various diseases. Conservative management is often hard to comply with, unsuccessfully, and expensive, while acupuncture with its variety of modalities can be an option.

Case: A therapy with polydioxanone thread embedding on acupuncture points along with other acupuncture modalities were performed in three cases of obese patients according to their etiology and conditions.

Results: Based on the three cases of obese patients with PDO thread embedding acupuncture alone or combined with cupping, plum blossom and moxibustion modalities are beneficial in decreasing abdominal circumference. The effect after 2 months follow up respectively using abdominal circumference measurement 5 cm above the umbilicus -2 cm ( from 110 to 99cm);- 3 cm (from 90 to 87 cm); -8 cm (from 88 to 80 cm), umbilicus to umbilicus -6 cm (from 107 to 101 cm); 10 cm (from 103 to 93 cm); 7 cm (from 93 to 86 cm), 5 cm below umbilicus -1 cm (from 106 to 105 cm); -5 cm (from 107.5 to 102.5 cm); -6 cm (from 104 to 98 cm). No serious side effects occurred in the three cases.

Conclusion: PDO thread embedding can be beneficial in treating obese patients. However, these results require further research.

Published: February 2023

The study is based on multi well analysist drilled side by side in carbonate reservoir using high-resolution resistivity image. The objective is to define reservoir characterization, facies architecture, heterogeneity, and connectivity between two wells that is ready for reservoir modeling.

The methods presented in this paper are using an automatic inversion and advanced algorithm to generate matrix conductivity images and curves, histogram, analyses rock texture heterogeneities, quantify fluid filled vugs density from high resolution borehole images, fast extraction of dips (beds, fractures), delineate planar features crossing deviated borehole over long distances, extract fracture traces and statistics.

More than 3,000 picks of boundaries and fractures were found in a 3,300 ft horizontal length. Those divided into 6 different categories (Bed Boundary, Conductive Fracture, Discontinuous Conductive Fracture, Resistive Fracture, Litho-Bound Fracture, and Vugular fracture). Using high-definition imaging-while-drilling service provides supreme logging-while-drilling (LWD) imaging for reservoir description, from structural modeling, sedimentology analysis, image-based porosity determination and thin-bed analysis.

The presence of heterogeneity in carbonates poses a challenge for the characterization of such rocks. The identification of textural variations advanced techniques in borehole image analysis have been applied and presented good results that determine secondary porosity and litho-facies, and, moreover, delivered new insight into previously established interpretations of the reservoir. The data comparison and validation to other measurement show a significant relationship to bring the value even beyond. By using an automatic inversion, the geological interpretation can be constantly delivered around the clock with higher consistency with the number of feature variation.

It has been demonstrated that with the advanced analysis, microelectrical borehole images can provide quantitative measures of important reservoir parameters. Accuracy and consistency have been greatly improved since the introduction of microelectrical borehole image logging and subsequent automatic interpretation workflows.
Innovative Use of Transient Flow Modelling for Successful Planning and Execution of Complex High Pressure (HHP) Well Unloading: Plan and Results
Authors: Maheshwari Rahul , Ure Duncan , Cheong Cynthia Sing Yueh
Published: February 2023

Unloading wells post drilling and completion is critical in ensuring risk of well productivity impairment due to extended residence of drilling and completion fluids in the well is minimized. In addition, unloading high pressure (HHP) gas wells can be quite complex since it includes rapid changes in operating conditions (pressure, temperatures and rates), which if not planned properly, can lead to exceeding design operating envelopes and in the worst-case result in process safety incidents. The objective of this paper is to present a case study, which demonstrates the application of transient flow modelling for analysis of complex high pressure (HHP) gas well unloading.

Traditional well and surface network modelling tools and softwares use steady state flow models. However, well unloading is a transient phenomenon with rapid changes in pressure, temperature, flowrate and hold-up and ideally requires multiphase transient flow modelling software to predict the conditions accurately. This paper describes how transient flow simulation, using the software package OLGA, was applied to model well unloading with the objective to keep the flow within the operating envelope of the well and surface equipment.

The execution was carried out safely and successfully aided by the modelling work carried out in OLGA. A comparison of the modelled and actual measured parameters is presented showcasing the utility of transient flow modelling in planning, decision making and smooth execution. The model was used to optimize the choke positions within the constraints of low temperature limit, while avoiding the requirement of heat exchangers, steam generators and flare stack and avoid a long learning curve during execution. This also ensured that flaring was not required which means no Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the produced hydrocarbons were monetized.

Reservoir pressure and pore pressure coefficient are the key parameters for evaluating the preservation conditions of low permeability reservoirs and selecting different development processed and measures, as well as important input parameters for predicting ground stress. Due to the influence of unique geological characteristics such as ancient structure, current structure and rapid change of burial depth, the pore pressure in reservoir of the Upper Wuerhe Formation in the 53 east block of Junggar Basin has a large lateral change and is influenced by many factors. The conventional pore pressure prediction methods based on longitudinal wave velocity (such as Eaton method) have poor accuracy. Therefore, according to the geological characteristics of the reservoir in this area, based on the simultaneous inversion of P-wave and S-wave data before seismic stack, combined with the changes in formation lithology and the impact of denudation on pore pressure and pore pressure coefficient, this paper takes P-wave, S-wave, lithology, and denudation into account to predict pore pressure and pressure coefficient. The research results show that: ① the introduction of seismic inversion data improves the prediction accuracy and detail richness on the plane; ② the introduction of the lithology change factor improves the stability of the prediction of pressure coefficient in vertical direction; ③ for the area suffering from strong denudation, the introduction of denudation intensity help better predict the pressure coefficient of low pressure wells near the denudated area. The pressure data from more than 10 actual wells proves that the relative error of the prediction results of this method is less than 5%. It is concluded that the established prediction method has small error and high accuracy, and can be used to provide higher quality data support for the subsequent selection of good reservoirs, well location deployment, horizontal stress parameter prediction.
Mitigating Sustained Casing Pressure in the Denver-Julesburg Basin with a Low Permeability Flow Resistant Cementing Solution
Authors: Clark Brittany Elbel , Pearl William , Hopwood Dale
Published: February 2023

Sustained casing pressure (SCP) is an industry wide challenge, and the evaluation and validation of a new cement system proactively mitigates SCP defending against numerous flow mechanisms, by delivering a barrier that minimizes fluid loss, shortens transition time, improves shear bonding, and reduces permeability. The application of this new cement system in the Denver-Julesburg Basin demonstrates its ability to mitigate and reduce the occurrence of SCP both pre and post fracturing while delivering a more efficient and sustainable solution.

The innovative chemistry of the cement system enables an efficient delivery of a dry blended system, providing enhanced cement properties without the need for premium liquid additives. The system was evaluated in the laboratory to mitigate SCP caused by flow through unset cement as well as evaluated for its long-term integrity to better withstand stresses placed on the cement sheath during fracturing operations. Pre and post frac SCP are well documented and monitored across the Denver-Julesburg (D-J) basin and the new cement system was pumped on over 200 wells and has shown a reduction in both pre- and post-fracturing SCP (COGCC 2022).

The SCP mitigation cement system can deliver over a 40% increase in shear bond strength, increasing the anchoring forces the cement sheath has to the casing and formation while proving to be a more crack resistant barrier. With a 75% reduction in cement permeability, it has increased resistance to flow and degradation from corrosive fluids or gases.

The cement system enables operators to proactively mitigate SCP, minimize risk, and limit their carbon footprint by eliminating the need for future remediation and can be tailored and applied to other basins with similar challenges across the globe to mitigate SCP and improve long term well integrity

Published: February 2023

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) utilizing long-offset ocean bottom node (OBN) data has become a key velocity model building tool for resolving complex velocities for deeper targets. Acquiring such OBN datasets with dense shot and receiver sampling remains costly. Sparse OBN data has been studied in recent years to reduce acquisition expense while maintaining desired benefits for FWI. Whereas sparse OBN data can provide velocities comparable to dense OBN data, it alone cannot provide seismic images and gathers fit for interpretation purposes. We demonstrate a cost-effective approach using joint sparse OBN and streamer FWI that effectively updates the deep velocity of a complex subduction zone in the Hikurangi margin near New Zealand's East Coast. The streamer data is then migrated to provide detailed and accurate images fit for interpretation.
Reservoir Simulation Assessment for the Effect of Asphaltene Deposition on Waterflooding in B Oilfield
Authors: Li Changyong
Published: February 2023

Asphaltene deposition has been observed in some wells within low-pressure areas in B oilfield during depletion. It is therefore concerns about asphaltene precipitation in the reservoir casued by decreasing pressure are raised. In this study, the impact of asphaltene deposition on water flooding in B oilfield was assessed by reservoir simulation.

This work built a new simulation model and investigated five kinds of formation damage due to asphaltene precipitation, which are porosity loss, permeability impairment, wettability alteration, relative permeability and capillary pressure changes, and oil viscosity variation. The instantaneous porosity loss equals to the volume of compressed pore and deposited asphaltene per grid block volume. The permeability impairment is calculated considering rock compressibility, asphaltene deposition on rock surface and throat plugging by asphaltene. The wettability alteration, oil-water relative permeability and capillary pressure changes were investigated according to published laboratory experiments, Gibbs adsorption theory and the modified Corey type model. Moreover, the oil viscosity variation was calculated by using a linear function model.

The simulation results show that asphaltene deposition in the reservoir would easily cause well skin and reduce the productivity index. As a result of wettability alteration caused by asphaltene surface deposition, the predicted oilfield water cut increases more quickly than that of the model without considering asphaltene deposition. Besides, the oil recovery factor reduces significantly when the reservoir pressure maintenance level is far lower than the upper onset pressure. The preferred reservoir pressure in a specific oilfield should be optimized based on sensitivity simulation cases to obtain a high oil recovery factor and slow water cut increase. B oilfield is recommended to maintain reservoir pressure around 5000 psi.

Published: February 2023

Isolating lower production zone (water shut-off) and finding new perforation intervals from another reservoir zone is a typical well intervention application in mature fields. In normal conditions, legacy permanent barriers (Through Tubing Bridge Plugs -TTBP) have been used in those applications very successfully. However, challenges are posed by, well bore restrictions (passing smaller OD restrictions), rig height, reliability and setting validations with legacy tools in harsh environments and well conditions. This paper discusses the challenges during offshore well intervention operation in Indonesia due to the limited space for rig-up, limited crane lifting capability, and un-manned well platform with only daylight operation and the solutions for these challenges with new slim-sized TTBP technology and the slim-sized Pulsed Neutron tool.

Critical success factors of this operation included providing valid gas saturation data by using a 1 11/16" Pulsed Neutron tool (TMD3D) to determine the remaining gas in producing interval and any bypassed opportunities; establishing enough force by using a slim size electromechanical setting tool (DPU) to set the 1 11/16" TTBP at the desired depth and establishing a mechanical barrier which can hold up to 1200 psi differential pressure until a cement cap can be established; and running a perforation simulation to select the right gun to create an effective perforation tunnel between the wellbore and the formation for optimized gas production from the bypass zone.

Despite all the challenges, a good mechanical barrier was established to isolate the lower water production zone and successfully determine gas saturation in bypassed reservoirs by using the Pulsed Neutron data. Perforation intervals were selected with the pulsed neutron analysis. After perforation, significant gas production was established which was 50% higher than predicted. New slim-sized technology tools resulted in flawless job execution with their high reliability and cost-effective solutions without any service quality issues. In addition to increased gas production, efficient operation resulted by completing the job one week earlier than scheduled, which provided extra cost savings. This case study identified the challenges in complex well intervention operations and provides a valuable water shut off solution by using new 1 11/16" TTBP and 1 11/16" DPU technology. The solution has proven to provide tremendous cost saving for production enhancement activity.
A Successful Fines Stabiliser Pilot Application in Arresting Severe Production Decline and Prolong Well Life
Authors: Hendraningrat Luky , Ramly Nora Aida , Riyanto Latief , Baharuddin Salina
Published: February 2023

Fines migration is a recognized as one source of formation damage in oil and gas production wells. A newly fine stabilizers chemical was developed and applied to prolong oil well productivity by adhering the migrating fines to the pore surfaces and reducing the tendency for mobilization as observed in the laboratory. The paper presents the successful pilot application and monitoring process of newly developed fine stabilizer in an oil well with has a history of rapid decline after several times of stimulation.

A screening process to identify pilot well was carried out into well "C". The well was natural flow for almost 2 decades but in last 8 years, it showed a sharp oil productivity decline after several times workover (re-perforation). A series of experiments were performed to identify the root cause of the rapid decline of the oil well and concluded due to migrating clays. The newly fines stabilization chemical was developed which has a purpose to prevent detachment of those fines and prolong the formation structure integrity by keeping the fines stuck on the rock surface. The workflow breakdown design structure for injection and monitoring were carried out to ensure the well achieve the agreed objective that was to increase back production by reperforation job and to reduce production decline rate by 90% for the first 6 months and 30% afterwards.

As a first pilot, well "C" has the main target to delay the production decline after re-perforation due to fines migration as concluded based on root cause analysis of formation damage from comprehensive laboratory experiments. The novel inhouse fines stabilization chemical was introduced as damage remedial by neutralizing fines migration through microflocs and coagulated fines as solid. It was injected near the wellbore around 4-5 ft. and monitored for 6 months. The sampling was taken regularly to measure produced clay and sands and compared with the pre-treatment results. The particle size measurement showed if the produced particles decreased significantly. The post-treatment of fine stabilizer chemical shows that it can prolong oil well productivity by delaying the decline rate to 1.5%/month for 6 months monitoring period and even stable over 1 years, which means exceed the expectation.

The successful result of well treatment using newly fine stabilizers chemical has unlocked additional oil production and prolong well life.

Low-permeability reservoirs are characterized by low oil and gas abundance, poor permeability, natural productivity lower than the lower limit of industrial oil flow, and rapid decline of formation energy. Hydraulic fracturing technology is widely used for the development of low-porosity and low-permeability reservoirs. The hydraulic fractures formed by using the hydraulic fracturing technology are the "underground highway" for oil and gas flowing from the deep reservoir to the wellbore. The combination between the long well section of the horizontal well in the reservoir and the wellbore can greatly improve the utilization of oil and gas resources in the reservoir. Therefore, hydraulic fracturing is the key technology to improve the production of low-permeability reservoirs. This paper establishes a volume fracturing propagation model by using the finite element method and discrete element method, and conducts the fracture propagation simulation of multi cluster fracturing in horizontal wells of low-permeability Nanyishan reservoirs in Qinghai Oilfield. The results show that when the stress difference（Difference between the maximum horizontal principal stress and the minimum horizontal principal stress） is less than 4 MPa, volume cracks tend to be generated. When the stress difference is higher than 5 MPa, plane cracks are mainly generated. The natural fracture density affects the volume fracturing effect only under the condition of low stress difference. When the stress difference is 3 MPa, the number of perforating clusters is increased, the cluster spacing is reduced, the improvement area is not significantly increased, the cracks between clusters are seriously interfered, and local cracks are merged. When the stress difference is 5 MPa, there is relatively weak interference between clusters. The increase of perforation clusters promotes the communication between natural fractures, volume fracture development, and expansion of reconstruction area. The research results of this paper provide strong technical support for optimizing the fracturing scheme, improving the single well productivity of low-permeability reservoirs, and developing low-permeability reservoirs in a cost-effective way.

Nowadays tight oil and gas reservoirs all around the world are increasingly exploited using wells where hydraulic fracturing is an essential technique to enable commercial productivity. In the case of a low permeability sandstone gas reservoir, understanding geological environment and selection of the optimal hydraulic fracturing design and implementation is key to obtain sustainable flow rates. Analysis of performed frac jobs and well performance across one field with 6 gas offset wells is reviewed in this paper.

Wells analyzed in this paper were all drilled into a shaly sandstone reservoir, with a high probability of including a favorable net-to-gross ratio of reservoir quality sandstones. The reservoir properties of these sandstone formations vary from a well to another with an average reservoir pressure of 5,500 psi – 8,500 psi, average reservoir temperature of 300 deg F, average reservoir porosity of 6-10% and average permeability between 0.5 – 4 mD. These reservoir properties are indication of tight reservoir where hydraulic fracturing is an essential technique to enable commercial productivity from the wells as well as controlling proppant and sands flowback. In most cases, 20/40 HSP and 20/40 RC-HSP proppant types were used in frac operations to provide the required conductivity in the reservoir and also control the proppant and sand from being flowed back to the surface. In addition to the proppant type, high final proppant concentration was also one of the key parameters to ensure proppant packing is achieved at the end of the job and help minimizing proppant flow back.

High level analysis of the wells production histories across the field will help to determine main factors affecting the well performance.
First Time in Thailand: Ocean Data Platform Through the Use of Offshore Facilities

The Ocean Data Platform project was initiated initiated since 2020 to support our aspiration to become the guardian of the Ocean. PTTEP (‘the Company’) aspires to take part in providing of marine science data around our offshore operation to the general public, as there is currently no offshore information available from Thailand. The data will be beneficial to ocean scientists, authorities, and could lead to the development of various ocean conservation programs and prediction model.

This Ocean Data Platform is designed to collect the up-to-date and real-time offshore ocean health and biodiversity data in Gulf of Thailand (GoT) by leveraging our offshore location strengths, knowledge, and innovative technologies. To establish the real-time offshore data in our operation, met-ocean monitoring station and underwater camera are installed to automatically perform oceanographic measurements to identify biodiversity, species, and aquatic life. This platform will connect our offshore data with other nearshore and midshore data from other entities. They also have alert function to detect abnormal activity so they can investigate and notify relevant parties to take action if necessary.

The Ocean Data Platform will be published to stakeholders and interested parties for further research through the websie (reference 4). This platform comprises of 3 main parts of oceanographic monitoring, Ocean for life initiatives and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) events such as offshore microplastic monitoring, underwater biodiversity around offshore platform, coral bleaching baseline, the His Thai Majesty's Ship (H.T.M.S) underwater learning site. This information allows us to mornitor the state of the ocean health in various aspects and analyze the causes of various phenomena such as, impact of greenhouse gases on the ocean, change in ocean water temperature, wave height in monsoon season, ocean acidity, and base of ocean water, etc. We could also use this information to design offshore facilities to optimize CAPEX costs in the future. In addition, this platform is also regarded as the starting point for consolidating all marine-related information into one platform to support Thailand ocean conservation program.

This is the first development in Thailand that integrates offshore data with others to complete ocean data in a holistic manner and allows researchers interested in the ocean to effectively use this type of data in their research.
Improvement of Safety with Ai Applied on a Rig Continuous Circulation System

The purpose of the paper is to illustrate the development of the innovative system of continuous circulation drilling. With an important contribution of a cameras system an Artificial Intelligence, the drilling operation are much more accurate and fully automated. The presence of personnel on the drillfloor is not required and controlling it takes place remotely from inside the driller cabin.

The automated system is composed of a: Clamp, Trolley, Mud Diverter Manifold, Vision System, HMI and PLC Control Skid. The trolley and clamp are remotely controlled from the driller cabin. With the aid of the vision system, the driller is able to align the clamp with the external valve on the sub and move forwards or backwards as needed. With an angle of +/- 10 ° to the right and left, the alignment can take place in the three directions of the space.The software is set up to minimize human and system error.

The CCS technology has evolved to be used on the last generation drilling rigs. The implementation of a fully automated system that makes use of artificial intelligence allows remote control and creates the possibility of carrying out operations safely without operators on the drilling floor. The technology allows operations to be carried out continuously and in compliance with safety standards. The cameras allow to operate in the most critical conditions, using a lighting system with a setting that has been tested and set in the worst operating conditions. The valve detection and alignment of the system to the sub allows to start the continuous circulation. The use of AI allows for drastic enhancement in drilling efficiency and safety standards reducing the number of humans needed inputs. The human-machine interaction represents a competitive advantage over traditional systems.

The automation of drilling improves the way to drill wells, producing benefits in terms of optimizing the critical analytical decision and, more generally, returns significant operative savings. Another key benefit of AI-infused drilling is safety: less people involved in operations, with an increased skill set. The paper's goal is to show the world a new frontier of drilling.
Da escravidão a consolidação das leis do trabalho

Este trabalho teve o propósito de fazer uma reflexão acerca da evolução das leis trabalhistas no Brasil, desde o período de escravização indígena até a promulgação da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT). Para isso, observamos as leis que serviram como instrumentos de libertação dos trabalhadores escravizados durante o período colonial, passando pelas legislações formuladas durante o período Republicano brasileiro (República Velha) e a consolidação desse conjunto de leis em um único instrumento durante a Era Vargas.

É inegável que a pandemia Covid-19 afetou a população mundial de alguma forma. Nenhum sistema político e econômico no planeta ficou alheio as consequências dessa crise sanitária e humanitária; mais do que isso (se já não fosse o bastante) a Covid-19 revelou de forma clara as contradições entre os seres humanos. Se vivemos na era da globalização intensa, percebemos a carência de um projeto global de desenvolvimento; temos a ciência que a natureza clama por socorro, mas não adotamos políticas reais de sustentabilidade; estamos conectados pelos mais variados meios digitais, mas sobrecarregados de desinformação; temos a compreensão que a democracia é o melhor caminho para a gestão da sociedade, mas flertamos com o autoritarismo. A pandemia revelou o lado “oculto da lua” e o que vimos não é bom.
