Published: November 2023

Introduction: in the digital age, information retrieval is dominated by digital data and the demand for digital media is continually growing, consequently the dynamics are very different and e-journals can take advantage of this transition phase as an opportunity to explore ways more effective.Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out in the main databases and other search services. The terms “interactive formats”, “data visualization”, “interactive graphics”, “scientific publication” were used as search descriptors.Results: an interactive publication could contain many multimedia objects: text, video, audio, bitmap images, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, or animation sequences. These objects can be in different file formats. Interactive media can be defined as the integration of various digital media content, including multimedia elements (text, graphics, audio, animation and video) into structured and engaging computerized digital content, facilitating dynamic interaction for specific purposes. An interactive approach is interesting and desirable, because users will get dynamic reactions. They have been revealed and demonstrated that the use of 3D technology for academic publications is useful and necessary. However, widespread application is yet to come. The new academic contexts can serve as a starting point for many scientific journals to redefine their position and open new fields of dissemination and financing.Conclusions: scientific journals must take advantage of the new virtual scenarios to reorganize their communication processes and face new formats of scientific dissemination

Published: November 2023

This study presents comprehensive geomechanical modeling of the tight Triassic reservoirs from the Touggourt field, eastern Algeria. The primary objective was to constrain minimum horizontal stress in the T1 and T2 reservoirs by microfrac testing. Wireline logs, direct pore pressure measurements, acoustic and resistivity image logs were integrated for geomechanical modeling. A strike-slip tectonic stress regime with NW-SE SHmax orientation was inferred. A pre-job geomechanical model was prepared for selecting optimum intervals for microfrac testing. Contrast in horizontal stress magnitudes, density-porosity, and rock-mechanical properties, expected breakdown pressure being within tool limit, and in-gauge caliper response have been considered for choosing the microfrac test intervals, while honoring the operator’s geological objectives. Based on the microfrac test data, we inferred a 0.88-0.94 psi/ft Shmin gradient with 1.04-1.08 psi/ft breakdown pressure gradient within these Triassic reservoirs. Integrated geomechanical approach in the pre-planning as well as real-time advisory facilitated successful formation break down in a very tight and strong lithofacies. High quality data acquired during microfrac operation yielded confident fracture closure interpretation and post-job geomechanical model calibration, which has critical implications in future drilling and completion optimization.
Simulation of Old Surface and Underground Working for Assessment of Slope Stability
Authors: Singh T. N. , Sazid M.
Published: November 2023

Underground mining activities have potential influence on the surface slope stability. However, suitable attention has not yet been paid to these problems. The aim of this study is to analyze the possible influence of present and former mining activities on the selected set of physical and numerical model slope deformations in the Jharia Coalfield. In India coking coal seams are mainly confined to the Jharia coalfields of Jharkhand State. There are 19 coal seams, which were partially exploited earlier adopting the underground mining method. However, due to various complex geotechnical problems, it was not economically viable to continue the same method for coal extraction. A vast amount of coking coal remains unrecovered as they stand as pillars, collapsed materials, partings, barriers, etc. waiting to be extracted to meet the growing energy demand. In order to bridge the gap between the growing demands and supply, it is essential that the coal locked in the underground workings be recovered fully by implementing surface mining methods. As these new surface mines are planned in the areas which contain old surface and underground workings, the major problems will be the stability of slopes particularly when they meet the old underground workings, and the behavior of previously subsided material in the pit slopes. The present study was conducted to understand the effect of underground workings on the stability of new slopes using physical and numerical simulation. This paper emphasizes on the numerical simulation and further verification of the physical model results. The physical model results are well corroborated with numerical simulation study.

Authors: Bakelli Omar , Xiao Ting , McPherson Brian , Doghmane Mohamed Zinelabidine
Published: November 2023

The research examines geological carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in North Dakota's Broom Creek Formation, situated within the Williston Basin, as a method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions mainly from fossil fuel-based electricity production. Part of the Permian Minnelusa Group's upper unit, the Broom Creek Formation consists of sandstone interspersed with layers of dolostone and anhydrite. The study provides a thorough analysis that encompasses lithology, petrophysical properties, mineralogy, and geomechanics, assessing both storage potential and seal integrity. Particular attention is given to geomechanical characteristics such as permeability, porosity, resilience, and in-situ stress conditions to evaluate the formation's suitability for geological carbon dioxide storage. Using well-log data and geomechanical modeling, the investigation reveals the reservoir's heterogeneous nature. The findings affirm the structural integrity of the formation, indicating that it can securely store CO2 while presenting minimal seismic risk. This study significantly bolsters ongoing efforts in geological carbon storage strategies and recommends future research to explore the reservoir's long-term response to CO2 injection using advanced modeling techniques and additional field data.

Published: November 2023

Hole cleaning and wellbore instability remain key challenges while drilling highly deviated or horizontal wells. Inadequate hole cleaning or excess cuttings generated due to wellbore instability leads to incidents like stuck pipes due to well packing off and increasing Non-Productive Time (NPT). In addition, problems such as premature bit wear, high torque, and drag due to improper hole cleaning reduce the drilling rates and increase drilling costs.

The two case studies presented in this paper demonstrate the use of the advanced hole-cleaning monitoring approach in the horizontal section of Maximum Reservoir Contact wells across the Lower Cretaceous horizon. Data acquired in real-time from the hole-cleaning equipment provided actionable information that permitted timely optimization of drilling parameters for improved hole condition. These remedial actions avoided unplanned events such as hole pack-off and excessive reaming. The wells were drilled efficiently within the schedule, with the minimal risk associated with cuttings loading of the well due to improper hole cleaning.
Present-Day Stress Field of Western Desert of Egypt from Caliper and Image Logs
Authors: Moronkeji D. A. , Hussein S. , Willson S. M.
Published: November 2023

The Western Desert of Egypt has enormous oil and gas potential (El Dally, N.H. et al., 2022) but poses challenges in drilling and completion due to the presence of faults and their effects on stress orientation. In this study we investigate present-day stress field of the Western Desert of Egypt. Present-day maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) orientations were determined from borehole breakouts (BOs) and drilling-induced fractures (DIFTs) interpreted from caliper data and resistivity image logs. The stress measurements are summarized to provide an overview of the stress orientations. Detailed examples are presented for the Hamra and Rahma fields. The local faults appear to influence the in-situ stress orientations and follow either the predominant NW-SE or NE-SW regional trends generally found in the Western Desert, with the SHmax typically parallel to the orientation of nearby faults.
Advanced Techniques for Wellbore Stability Evaluation Using Logging-While-Drilling Technologies
Authors: Fouda M. , Taher A. , Hussein M. , Al-Hassan M.
Published: November 2023

Logging-while-drilling (LWD) technologies have long been used for real-time formation evaluation and Geosteering. Several optimization techniques for drilling and completions have been developed, based on data acquired from LWD technologies. In this paper, methods and techniques are presented where LWD measurements were utilized for the purpose of safely planning, drilling, and completing vertical and horizontal boreholes.

In addition to resistivity tools known to provide shallow and deep readings, density tools provide azimuthal borehole images from two detectors of different source-detector spacings, allowing their data to have different depths of investigation (DOI). Comparison between the responses of sensors having different DOI over multiple logging passes can be used to assess wellbore deterioration over time. Ultrasonic LWD imagers also provide high-resolution, azimuthal hole-size measurements allowing advanced evaluation of wellbore conditions. Integrating multiple sensors of different DOI in the logging suite, and comparing their individual responses, gives more insight into the borehole conditions than analysis of single-sensor data alone.

Data from LWD was integrated with surface-data-logging (SDL) data to provide full analysis of wellbore conditions in real time. Time-lapse analysis using data acquired while tripping out of the hole revealed deterioration that was not observed in the first logging passes while drilling. Interventions were made to mitigate wellbore instability and lessons have been captured to prevent hole deterioration in subsequent wells drilled in the area. Workflows have been developed to LWD technologies for wellbore stability monitoring to mitigate borehole deterioration, thereby optimizing operations for drilling and completions.
The Tensile Failure Characteristics of Black Shale Under Dynamic Brazilian Test
Authors: Jia Lichun , Huang Haoyong
Published: November 2023

Dynamic tensile failure is one of the main failure modes of layered shale during the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. To comprehensively understand the failure behaviors under dynamic loading, a series of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests are conducted on black Longmaxi shale under different loading rate at seven loading-bedding angles β. The results indicate that both static and dynamic Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) increase with the angle β. But the dynamic BTS are far greater than the static BTS. However, as the loading rate increases, the anisotropic index decreases gradually. In addition, there is a positive correlation between dynamic BTS and loading rate, which is that the dynamic BTS increases with loading rate. In this study, the relation between dynamic BTS and loading rate is fitted by a power function with correlation coefficients higher than 0.92. The failure samples show that there are four typical fracture patterns, which are central tensile failure as β=0° and β=90°, bedding activation shear failure as β=15°, non-central arc fracture at β=30° and 45°, mixed mode fracture as β=60° and 75°, respectively. This study provides significant data to evaluate the mechanical properties of layered black shale for safety and stability under dynamic loading.

Published: November 2023

Understanding the effects of CO2 exposure to the mechanical properties of a reservoir formation is critical in qualifying any CO2 storage candidate field. Two depleted clastic fields, D-Field and L-Field have been selected for evaluation for their CO2 storage potential. In this study, core samples from key reservoirs have been selected and their mechanical properties analyzed. Multi-stage triaxial tests were conducted on pristine samples classified as Pre- and Post-CO2 samples which have undergone 14 days of CO2 ageing with supercritical CO2 under reservoir conditions. The comparison of the results between the Pre- and Post-CO2 samples provides an understanding of the mechanical properties degradation observed on the samples which have been exposed to CO2. The results showed that both D-Field and L-Fields samples exhibited a general weakening trend observed between the Pre- and Post-CO2 samples comparison. However, D-Field exhibited higher magnitude of degradation compared to L-Field, as indicated from the reduction of Young’s Modulus (8 – 11% against 5%), unconfined compressive strength (20 – 34% against 0.3 – 4.5%) and cohesion (30 – 34% against 5.8 – 8%) between the Pre- and Post-CO2 samples. The lower magnitude of degradation observed in L-Field samples may indicates it as a more potentially viable storage candidate when compared to D-Field. However, the overall comparison of storage viability should also consider various other critical elements such as injectivity, storage capacity, seal capacity, leakage risks, etc., which are not deliberated in this laboratory study.

Published: November 2023

How to predict the initiation and extension of thermally induced fractures (TIF) and evaluate their impact on CO2 injection in depleted reservoirs has become a critical concern in the CO2 storage projects. To address this question, it is imperative to carry out thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled numerical modeling of the reservoir rock. To circumvent the heavy numerical complexity of fully THM coupling, a two-way coupling method inside a unique code, a form of hybrid coupling method, is proposed. This method involves incorporating a mechanical solution based on the Equivalent Cuboid Inclusion Method (ECIM) into the solver for mass and heat transfer. In this paper, we firstly present the issue of TIFs in the context of CO2 storage and provide a concise review of this topic. We then introduce the ECIM method and provide the stress solution of a single cuboid element due to changes of pore pressure and temperature. The application of this hybrid method in a hypothetical CO2 injection case has shown the high capacity of the ECIM method to evaluate of stress change resulting from CO2 injection. The results show that the tensile fracture propagates as the front of cooling progress over time, reaching a distance of 70 m at two years and 110 m at six years after injection in this case study.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Study on Micro Porosity Damage of Coal Body by Gas Desorption

Published: November 2023

To describe the damage evolution law of microscopic pores at the microscopic scale, gas adsorption and desorption tests based on the low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technique (LF-NMR) were conducted under different gas pressures and desorption rates. The experimental results show that the P1 peak of adsorbed gas is significantly larger than the primary adsorption, the peak apex of adsorption is higher, the peak width (transverse relaxation time T2 range) is more extensive, and the enhanced inter-pore connectivity is more favorable to gas infiltration and transport. With the increase of gas desorption rate, the damage development of coal samples is higher, which improves the inter-pore connectivity, thus the re-absorption T2GM decreases. The damage factor D is defined from the NMR T2 spectrum concentration index, and the damage factor D increases with the increase of gas pressure and gas desorption rate. Considering the role of desorption gas on crack propagation, a model is established to theoretically explain the effect of gas desorption on coal damage evolution. This study is significant for coal and gas outbursts prevention and coalbed methane utilization.
Cost–effectiveness analysis of Avance

allograft for the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries in the USA
Authors: Ansaripour Amir , Thompson Ann , Styron Joseph F , Javanbakht Mehdi
Published: November 2023

Aim:
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a debilitating condition with significant associated morbidity, and which places a substantial socioeconomic burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Recently, allograft has emerged as a viable surgical alternative to autograft for the treatment of PNI. This study evaluated the cost effectiveness of allograft (Avance
®
Nerve Graft) compared with autograft for the peripheral nerve repair, from a US payer perspective.
Methods:
A Markov cohort model was developed to consider the treatment pathways followed by a patient population undergoing a single transected nerve repair with either allograft, or autograft. The marginal difference in meaningful recovery (MR) (effectiveness), and costs, between the two groups were estimated over a lifetime horizon. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) were performed to consider the uncertainty surrounding the base-case input parameter values and their effect on the overall incremental cost–effectiveness ratio (ICER).
Results:
The base-case analysis indicates that there is a small difference in the average probability of MR between the two groups (75.15% vs 70.46%; +4.69% with allograft). Allograft also results in cost savings ($12,677 vs $14,023; -$-1346 with allograft) compared with autograft. Deterministic sensitivity analysis shows that the costs of the initial surgical procedures are the main drivers of incremental cost, but that the intervention is likely to be cost saving compared with autograft regardless of the parameter variations made.
Conclusion:
The use of allograft with the Avance Nerve Graft has the potential to be a cost-effective alternative to autograft for the surgical treatment of PNI in the USA.

Published: November 2023

Kinect devices are used up to this day for image capturing and video recording in many activities. These devices make it possible to capture color and depth data, crucial to many research works. Despite that, these data are stored in a xed file, in the case of the Kinect V1, that cannot be opened directly. Existing tools to extract data from these files include the Kinect Studio application and the xed extractor developed by Daniel Jackson. Although valuable tools, they require a higher computational knowledge from the user since they require either the compilation of a source code or to develop an application that uses the stored data like it was received from a Kinect device while a Kinect device is physically connected to the user’s computer. In this paper, we propose a web service that allows users to retrieve color data from xed files in an easier way than the existing tools, by retrieving a compressed file with the images stored on xed files. The obtained results show that we successfully retrieved the images stored on these files, making it possible to reuse old xed files containing important information such as body posture datasets.

ABSTRACT
Introduction. Relationships during childhood/adolescence are fundamental for the psyche construction. The family and the school are the initial means of socialization and it is there where the quality of the relational experience predetermines a future model. Difficulties in the relational sphere have an impact on the mental health of minors. There is an increase in conflictive and inhibited behaviors in students, as well as an increase in the prevalence of psychiatric disorders, making an evaluation of resources necessary. Methodology. This unicentric quasi-experimental study, pre-post without control group, longitudinal type of prospective nature, aims to evaluate the changes in the performance of the parental role and the social interaction skills and personal resilience of the population served in the Educational Therapeutic Unit of Ortuella, from a nursing perspective, during a school year. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Shapiro-Wilk test will determine whether the distribution of the variable is normal. Student's t test will be used for paired samples or Wilcoxon when the distribution of the variable is not normal and McNemar for comparison of proportions, with a confidence interval of 95%, with p<0.05 being considered significant. Utility in practice. The results will allow us to verify whether the permanence of a school year in the Educational Therapeutic Unit is related to an improvement in the variables under study.

Cafe is identically known as a comfortable place to enjoy favorite beverages and food. But from time to time, it was more than that. Cafe evolved into a base camp for young people. It is redefined as a place that 'must go' by young people who are trendy and up to date. Not only that, OOTD are also considered. There will always be a qualification of what to wear in the cafe to look good, neat, and trendy. That shows the process of self branding. This research focused on how young people try to branding themselves both in cafe and media and how those influence their consumer actions. Analyze it using the Consumerism Theory by Jean Baudrillard, with a qualitative approach. The result shows that social media plays a significant role in young people's consumption behavior for self-branding needs. It told them how to live in this era and what their needs were. And those additional needs ultimately increase their spending.
