Use of Smart Controls in Intelligent Well Completion to Optimize Oil & Gas Recovery
Authors: Afuekwe Austin , Bello Kelani 
Published: October 2019

For the past few years, the oil and gas industry has faced several economic, geographic and technical challenges largely due to decline in crude oil prices and market volatility.
In the quest to address some of these challenges to accelerate production and subsequently maximize ultimate recovery, operators are limited to remote hydraulic and electro-hydraulic monitoring and control of safety valves providing the means of obtaining downhole production data which demands periodic well intervention-based techniques with risk of loss of associated tools. This has highlighted the need for companies to adopt new technology to take advantage of low crude oil price environment, optimizing recovery without interventions and with minimal production interruption.
One of the recent improvements in production technologies which can remedy these problems having unique capabilities to do so is the Intelligent Well Completion (IWC) technology. In this paper the utilization of IWC to optimize oil recovery was evaluated. The use of a reservoir simulator, the Schlumberger ECLIPSE-100 simulator, was employed to model an intelligent well. Case study simulations were performed for an active bottom-water drive. Modeling of the Intelligent Well Inflow Control Devices (ICDs) and downhole sensors for the multilaterals was achieved using the Multi-Segment Well model.
Optimal IWC technology combination for maximum hydrocarbon recovery and minimal water production was determined using the reactive control strategy (RCS) which indicated a drastic reduction of about 52.1% in water production with a slight drop of 1.5% in field oil efficiency (FOE). The simulation results obtained clearly showed that the utilization of intelligent well-ICDs in Production wells can significantly increase the cumulative oil production and reduce water production.
The longitudinal association between social status insecurity and relational aggression: Moderation effects of social cognition about relational aggression
Authors: Long Yunyi , Li Yan 
Published: October 2019

AbstractPrevious research has shown that adolescents’ insecurity about their social status is related to their use of relational aggression. However, little is known about how adolescents’ social cognition may moderate this association. Employing a mixed‐method approach and a short‐term longitudinal design, this study addresses this issue by examining the moderation effects of attribution and outcome expectancies regarding relational aggression on the associations between social status insecurity and relational aggression among 476 Chinese adolescents (238 girls). The main results showed that self‐serving attributions and instrumental outcome expectancies strengthened the positive and longitudinal association between social status insecurity and self‐reported relational aggression. The findings of this study enrich our knowledge about the social cognitive processes pertinent to peer status and relational aggression among adolescents.

Published: October 2019

ObjectiveTo estimate the incidence rate (IR) of psoriasis in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and chronic noninfectious osteomyelitis (CNO) with tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) exposure as compared to children without TNFi exposure and to the general pediatric population.MethodsThis was a single‐center retrospective cohort study of children with IBD, JIA, or CNO from 2008 to 2018. TNFi exposure was defined as a prescription for adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, certolizumab, or golimumab, and the primary outcome was incident psoriasis. IRs and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association of psoriasis with TNFi exposure and other risk factors.ResultsOf the 4,111 children who met inclusion criteria, 1,614 (39%) had TNFi exposure and 2,497 (61%) did not, with 4,705 and 6,604 person‐years of follow‐up, respectively. There were 58 cases (IR 12.3 per 1,000 person‐years) and 25 cases (IR 3.8 per 1,000 person‐years) of psoriasis in children with and without TNFi exposure, respectively. The SIR was 18 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 15–22) overall, 30 (95% CI 23–39) for children with TNFi exposure, and 9.3 (95% CI 6.3–14) for children without TNFi exposure. The hazard ratio of psoriasis comparing TNFi exposure to no TNFi exposure was 3.84 (95% CI 2.28–6.47; P < 0.001).ConclusionChildren with IBD, JIA, and CNO had an increased rate of psoriasis compared to the general pediatric population, with the highest rate in those with TNFi exposure.

Published: October 2019

AbstractWearable electronics presage a future in which healthcare monitoring and rehabilitation are enabled beyond the limitation of hospitals, and self‐powered sensors and energy generators are key prerequisites for a self‐sustainable wearable system. A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on textiles can be an optimal option for scavenging low‐frequency and irregular waste energy from body motions as a power source for self‐sustainable systems. However, the low output of most textile‐based TENGs (T‐TENGs) has hindered its way toward practical applications. In this work, a facile and universal strategy to enhance the triboelectric output is proposed by integration of a narrow‐gap TENG textile with a high‐voltage diode and a textile‐based switch. The closed‐loop current of the diode‐enhanced textile‐based TENG (D‐T‐TENG) can be increased by 25 times. The soft, flexible, and thin characteristics of the D‐T‐TENG enable a moderate output even as it is randomly scrunched. Furthermore, the enhanced current can directly stimulate rat muscle and nerve. In addition, the capability of the D‐T‐TENG as a practical power source for wearable sensors is demonstrated by powering Bluetooth sensors embedded to clothes for humidity and temperature sensing. Looking forward, the D‐T‐TENG renders an effective approach toward a self‐sustainable wearable textile nano‐energy nano‐system for next‐generation healthcare applications.

Published: October 2019

AbstractMetal‐containing polymer networks are ubiquitous in biological systems, and their unique structures enable a variety of fascinating biological behaviors. Cuticle of mussel byssal threads, containing Fe‐catecholate complexes, shows remarkably high hardness, high extensibility, and self‐healing capability. Understanding strengthening and self‐healing mechanisms is essential for elucidating animal behaviors and rationally designing mussel‐inspired materials. Here, direct evidence of Fe3+ and Fe2+ gradient distribution across the cuticle thickness is demonstrated, which shows more Fe2+ inside the inner cuticle, to support the hypothesis that the cuticle is a functionally graded material with high stiffness, extensibility, and self‐healing capacity. The mechanical tests of the mussel threads show that both strength and extensibility of the threads decrease with increasing oxygen contents, but this property degradation can be restored upon removing the oxygen. The first‐principles calculations explain the change in iron coordination, which plays a key role in strengthening, degradation, and self‐healing of the polymer networks. The oxygen absorbs on metal ions, weakening the iron‐catecholate bonds in the cuticle and collagen core, but this process can be reversed by sea water. These findings can have important implications in the design of next‐generation bioinspired robust, highly extensible materials, and catalysis.

Published: October 2019

AbstractCombined chemo/chemodynamic therapy is a promising strategy to achieve an improved anticancer effect. However, the hypoxic microenvironment and limited amount of H2O2 in most solid tumors severely restrict the efficacy of this treatment. Herein, the construction of a nanocatalytic medicine, CaO2@DOX@ZIF‐67, via a bottom‐up approach is described. CaO2@DOX@ZIF‐67 simultaneously supplies O2 and H2O2 to achieve improved chemo/chemodynamic therapy. In the weakly acidic environment within tumors, CaO2@DOX@ZIF‐67 is broken down to rapidly release the Fenton‐like catalyst Co2+ and the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX). The unprotected CaO2 reacts with H2O to generate both O2 and H2O2. The generated O2 relieves the hypoxia in the tumor and further improve the efficacy of DOX. Meanwhile, the generated H2O2 reacts with Co2+ ions to produce highly toxic •OH through a Fenton‐like reaction, resulting in improved chemodynamic therapy.
The importance of chloroplast movement, nonphotochemical quenching, and electron transport rates in light acclimation and tolerance to high light in Arabidopsis thaliana

Published: October 2019

PremiseWhile essential for photosynthesis, excess light can damage plants. We investigated how growth light conditions affect two photoprotective strategies, chloroplast movement and nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), as well as electron transport rates (ETR), and the relative importance of these processes in the short‐term stress tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana.MethodsWe grew wild‐type (WT) and mutant plants with impaired chloroplast movement (phot1, phot2, phot1 phot2, chup1) or NPQ (npq1) at low (160 μmol photons m−2 s−1) or intermediate light (400 μmol photons m−2 s−1) before quantifying transmission changes due to chloroplast movement, NPQ, ETR, and the ability to recover from a short‐term high‐light treatment.ResultsPlants with impaired chloroplast avoidance movement (phot2, phot1 phot2, chup1) did not recover as well from a short‐term high light treatment as the WT or npq1 and phot1 mutants. Plants grown at intermediate light recovered more completely from the same stress treatment regardless of their genotype and despite reduced degrees of transmission changes due to chloroplast movement. This result was due in part to all genotypes having up to a 2‐fold increase in ETRmax and a slight increase in NPQmax.ConclusionsGrowth light conditions affect which mechanisms are important in dealing with short‐term high‐light stress. The chloroplast avoidance response is important for low‐light‐grown plants, while increases in ETRmax and NPQmax allow plants grown at intermediate light intensities to avoid being damaged.
Life cycle energy comparison of different polymer recycling processes

Published: October 2019

AbstractThis article is to demonstrate a consistent, transparent approach to comparing plastic recycling technologies. The uniform comparison is based on each recycling technology having the same input (waste PET), mass basis for processing, output as new product (new PET product or fuels), and the concept of the same multiple (two) closed loops of recycling. We seek to demonstrate, at the fundamental technology level, how energy use differentiates plastic recycling technologies. Five polymer‐recycling processes are examined using a uniform, quantitative comparison of 1 kg PET bottles (about 100 single‐serve 0.5 L water bottles): direct reuse, 100% mechanical recycled content, depolymerization, and re‐polymerization of new resin and 100% to bottles, reclaiming energy value, and landfill. The life cycle energy benefit for recycle technologies with varying product recycled content can be determined by a single equation. All these recycling processes resulted in total energy reduction per kg PET bottles compared to landfilling. The base case of three cycles per 1 kg PET bottles is used to explore the influence of recycling loops. Direct reuse gave a 290% energy improvement with three cycles. Other processes, all at 100% recycle content, gave improvements: mechanical (250%), depolymerization/repolymerization (150%), and energy recovery (120%). More information would improve the analysis of the depolymerization process assessment. These preliminary data describe the analyses that are needed to quantify the benefit of recycling any polymer using these recycling methods. The Environmental Genome (“EGI”) provides valuable information for these calculations as it contains the polymers and supply chains for such evaluations.

ABSTRACTImparting superhydrophobicity to surfaces has direct implications for developing water‐repellent materials. Most hydrophobic materials cannot be applied directly to specific surfaces like leather because of noncompatibility. Although methacrylic polymers are compatible to leather, their inherent hydrophilic characteristics make it challenging to use for introducing hydrophobicity or superhydrophobicity. In this article, we present a strategy of introducing hydrophobicity in various degrees as well as superhydrophobicity to different surfaces, particularly leather and glass surfaces by using conjugates of methacrylic polymers and various carbon nanomaterials. The covalent functionalization of methacrylate polymers with carbon nanotubes and fullerenes was performed by radical polymerization in the presence or absence of chain transfer agents (CTAs). CTA was used during polymerization to introduce carboxylic acid group, necessary for chromium‐assisted binding to leather to avoid leaching. A balance between the compatibility of the polymer nanoconjugates with the leather and the amount necessary for coating stabilization was studied by a rheometer. While water contact angle measurement indicated the mild hydrophobicity in most cases, we were delighted to observe superhydrophobicity in one case presumably due to increased roughness because of the presence of specific nanomaterial to overcome inherent hydrophilicity of methacrylic polymers. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A systematic review of algorithm aversion in augmented decision making
Authors: Burton Jason W. , Stein Mari‐Klara , Jensen Tina Blegind 
Published: October 2019

AbstractDespite abundant literature theorizing societal implications of algorithmic decision making, relatively little is known about the conditions that lead to the acceptance or rejection of algorithmically generated insights by individual users of decision aids. More specifically, recent findings of algorithm aversion—the reluctance of human forecasters to use superior but imperfect algorithms—raise questions about whether joint human‐algorithm decision making is feasible in practice. In this paper, we systematically review the topic of algorithm aversion as it appears in 61 peer‐reviewed articles between 1950 and 2018 and follow its conceptual trail across disciplines. We categorize and report on the proposed causes and solutions of algorithm aversion in five themes: expectations and expertise, decision autonomy, incentivization, cognitive compatibility, and divergent rationalities. Although each of the presented themes addresses distinct features of an algorithmic decision aid, human users of the decision aid, and/or the decision making environment, apparent interdependencies are highlighted. We conclude that resolving algorithm aversion requires an updated research program with an emphasis on theory integration. We provide a number of empirical questions that can be immediately carried forth by the behavioral decision making community.
Assessing the unwanted: A systematic review of instruments used to assess negative effects of psychotherapy
Authors: Herzog Philipp , Lauff Sören , Rief Winfried , Brakemeier Eva‐Lotta 
Published: October 2019

AbstractObjectiveWhile the efficacy of psychotherapy in the treatment of mental disorders is well examined, systematic research into negative effects of psychotherapy seems comparatively rare. Therefore, this review evaluates instruments for assessing negative effects of psychotherapy in order to create a consensus framework and make recommendations for their assessment.MethodsThe study selection procedure follows current best‐practice guidelines for conducting systematic reviews, with 10 included studies in three databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science). The nine instruments identified were each critically reviewed concerning the theoretical orientation, including the assessed domains of negative effects, psychometric properties, and diagnostic characteristics.ResultsSeventeen domains of negative effects of psychotherapy were identified but inconsistently assessed by the nine instruments. Most instruments provide some initial data on their psychometric properties. Regarding diagnostic characteristics, different item‐response formats are used but often with reference to “attribution to therapy.”ConclusionThis review indicates that the existing instruments for assessing negative effects of psychotherapy cover a wide range of relevant domains without any consensus on the most important ones and their psychometric properties are usually unsatisfactory. A framework for consensus, building on the definition and conceptualization of negative effects, is synthesized, and recommendations for improving the assessment are derived.

AbstractIntroductionPrevious studies found subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) has clinical effect on Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and obsessive compulsive disorder. It is noteworthy that only a few studies report the STN‐DBS for Tourette's syndrome (TS). Globus pallidus interna (GPi)‐DBS is the one of the most common targets for TS. So, this paper aims to investigate the neural oscillations in STN and GPi as well as the DBS effect between these two targets in same patients.MethodsThe local field potentials (LFPs) were simultaneously recorded from the bilateral GPi and STN in four patients with TS. The LFPs were decomposed into neural oscillations, and the frequency and time–frequency characteristics of the neural oscillations were analyzed across the conditions of resting, poststimulation, and movement.ResultsNo difference of resting LFP was found between the two targets. The poststimulation period spectral power revealed the high beta and gamma oscillations were recovered after GPi‐DBS but remained attenuated after STN‐DBS. The STN beta oscillation has fewer changes during tics than voluntary movement, and the gamma oscillation was elevated when the tics appeared.ConclusionThe high beta and gamma oscillations in GPi restored after GPi‐DBS, but not STN‐DBS. High beta and gamma oscillations may have physiological function in resisting tics in TS. The cortex compensation effect might be interfered by the STN‐DBS due to the influence on the hyper‐direct pathway but not GPi‐DBS.

Dynamic Ion Correlations in Solid and Liquid Electrolytes: How Do They Affect Charge and Mass Transport?
Authors: Vargas‐Barbosa N. M. , Roling B. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractSolid and liquid electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage and conversion cells, such as batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells, contain often high concentrations of mobile ions. Therefore, the ion dynamics in these electrolytes is characterized by pronounced directional correlations between successive ion movements, which exert a strong influence on charge and mass transport. In this manuscript, we review the relevant transport properties of (i) single‐ion conducting solid electrolytes and of (ii) liquid electrolytes with a single type of cations and a single type of anions. All transport quantities are based on Onsager's linear irreversible thermodynamics and are defined in the laboratory frame of reference, so that they can be easily related to correlations functions of the equilibrium ion dynamics by means of linear response theory. In the case of single‐cation conducting solid electrolytes, we discuss how the complex interplay between cation‐cation and cation‐lattice interactions leads to a competition between cation self‐correlations and distinct‐cation correlations. In the case of liquid electrolytes, we describe how cation‐cation, anion‐anion, and cation‐anions correlations influence the various transport quantities, such as total ionic conductivity, Haven ratio, salt diffusion coefficient and cation transference numbers. Moreover, we discuss how, in dilute liquid electrolytes, ion correlations can be governed by ion pair formation. Finally, the competition between cation/anion and cation/polymer chain interactions can lead to negative cation transference numbers in polymer electrolytes, i. e. to cations migrating towards the positive electrode. Taken together, these case studies showcase how ion correlations in electrolyte systems can strongly influence the overall efficiency of energy storage and conversion devices due to transport limitations.
