Стаття присвячена аналізу економічних аспектів спадкування права на вклад у банку (фінансовій установі). Обґрунтовано, що законодавчо встановлене правило про спадкування права на вклад у банку (фінансовій установі) є оптимальним інструментом збереження та примноження капіталу померлого вкладника. Борги спадкодавця впливають на збільшення трансакційних витрат, що охоплюються не лише обов’язками спадкодавця, які не припинилися внаслідок його смерті, й а витратами на оформлення спадщини. Наголошено, що акту прийняття спадщини має передувати встановлення економічної доцільності набуття права власності на спадкове майно, до складу якого входить право на вклад у банку (фінансовій установі).Одним із економічних аспектів спадкування права на вклад у банку (фінансовій установі) в роботі виділено формування витрат на посмертне розпорядження зазначеним об’єктом спадкового правонаступництва. Наголошено, що з точки зору оптимізації витрат більш ефективним є визначення правової долі вкладу шляхом відповідного розпорядження банку (фінансовій установі).Зроблено висновок, що правова природа розпорядження вкладника правом на вклад на випадок своєї смерті залежить від форми його вираження. У разі, коли таке розпорядження зроблено у вигляді окремої заяви, за своєю правовою природою це є одностороннім правочином. Якщо ж відповідне розпорядження міститься в тексті договору банківського вкладу, воно виступає умовою такого договору.Виявлені особливості спадкування права на вклад у банку (фінансовій установі): 1) розширення правової свободи спадкодавця шляхом надання права зробити відповідне розпорядження банку; 2) надання права спадкоємцям одержати частину вкладу до закінчення строку на прийняття спадщини; 3) пріоритет заповіту над розпорядження вкладника своїм правом на вклад на випадок смерті у разі, якщо заповіт складений пізніше.

Управлін­ня фінансами та здійснення фінансового контролю є надзвичайно важливим для кожної держави. Су­часний етап соціально-економічного розвитку Укра­їни потребує підвищення ролі держави в системі управління економікою, спрямованої на виявлення відхилень від законності, прийнятих стандартів і ефективності управління фінансовими ресурсами. На сучасному етапі в Україні не вирішено проблему створення цілісної системи державного фінансово­го контролю: мають місце невизначеність правового поля діяльності державних контролюючих органів, дублювання функцій і повноважень, відсутність узгодженої взаємодії та спеціалізації у проведенні перевірок і виконанні покладених повноважень.Стаття присвячена актуальній проблемі пошуку шляхів забезпечення фінансового контролю при формуванні організаційно-правового механізму в цієї сфері. Метою статті є вдосконалення організаційно-правового механізму державного фінансового контролю в Україні. У статті проведено ретроспективний аналіз фінансового контролю за управлінням державними (місцевими) ресурсами та їх використанням, та державний фінансовий контроль, який здійснюють органи Держаудитслужби, уповноважені Кабінетом Міністрів України (урядовий контроль), державний зовнішній фінансовий контроль (аудит), який здійснює Рахункова палата від імені Верховної Ради України (парламентський контроль), та державний внутрішній фінансовий контроль, зокрема внутрішній контроль та внутрішній аудит, який забезпечується відповідно діючого законодавства.
A COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF INDIAN AND SAUDI ARABIAN SOCIAL WELFARE SCHEMES
Authors: Siva Kumar Nannapaneni , Imdadul Haque Mohammad 
Published: November 2019

Purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to find the similarities between the welfare schemes of Indian and Saudi governments, and the burden of these schemes and their impact on society. This study aims to compare and contrast the welfare schemes of two altogether different types of economy.
Methodology: This study applies the methodology of comparative analysis by employing descriptive analysis to study both the similarities and dissimilarities of the welfare schemes of Saudi Arabia and India.
Main Findings: Indian and Saudi governments have been spending a lot of welfare schemes of their respective GDPs. The intention of these governments is to help the poor to lead a minimum quality of life. Though the intention is genuine and appreciable, in terms of implementation, the two governments have not yet achieved any desired results even after 60 years of introduction.
Applications of this study: India and Saudi Arabia can learn from each other in designing and distributing welfare schemes like Saudi Arabia should focus to have targeted compensation and India to use its unique identification numbers to reduce leakages in its schemes. Instead of focusing on giving subsidies, it is better to devise a strategy with a timeframe to reduce poverty by creating many opportunities for the poor to improve their standard of living.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty in this study is a comparison of welfare schemes between two countries with two different types of political systems. While both countries are developing in nature, Saudi Arabia falls under a very high-income category country and India falls under the lower-middle-income category country.

The transborder extension of the services offered by multinationals construction companies that have settled in Africa exposes them to the political risk factors pertinent to the host country. This paper seeks to identify and assess the prevalence of political risk factors influencing the corporate performance of multinational companies in the North-eastern zones of Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were administered to 78 expatriates project managers from six multinationals construction companies within six states of Nigeriaâ€™s North-east area. Data collected were analysed using the relative importance index and factor analysis. Findings showed terrorism, corruption, insurgencies, sabotages and kidnapping were the five major political risk factors with the highest level of occurrence, while terrorism, kidnappings, sabotage, corruption and change in government are those with the highest impact on operations in the region. The recommendation includes the need for the Federal, State and Local Governments to provide adequate security for lives, properties and investments.
Keywords: Construction companies, corporate performance, multinationals, political risk, terrorism.
A imaginação da materialidade e a materialidade da imaginação

Quais são os desígnios propostos pela História para pensar a relação entre pensamento e materialidade? Haveria alguma forma de olharmos para as ideias e traduzi-las em artefatos? Quais são os caminhos possíveis para a compreensão daquilo que a ideia colocou como marco de produção da vida urbana? Não haveria, por assim dizer, uma História que pudesse por à prova aquilo que a ideia não consegue concretizar, ou mesmo que a concretude não consegue transparecer? Se tais perguntas são feitas durante o ofício de pensar as cidades, aqueles que o carregam consigo não o fazem sem a angustiante trajetória de olhar para
trás e observar seu próprio mundo, que se transfigura a cada passo e se transforma a cada nova percepção. Pois a materialidade, em si, não é nada mais do que a representação, para cada um, do significado subjacente às experiências de vida. A cidade, pois, habita no imaginário de cada um.
Effect of Live-Crude-Oil Composition on Optimal Salinity of a Surfactant Formulation: Experiments and Modeling
Authors: Marliere Claire , Creton Benoit 
Published: November 2019

SummaryThe objective of aqueous-surfactant formulation design is to achieve ultralow interfacial tension (IFT) with the oil in place at reservoir conditions. Several parameters have to be investigated, and among them, it is well-known that the presence of gas dissolved in crude oil can greatly affect the surfactant/brine/crude-oil-microemulsion phase behavior. Omitting it might degrade the formulation performance. In this work, we present a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of optimal-salinity evolution as a function of live-oil compositions and conditions, varying the pressure independently of the gas/oil ratio (GOR) (i.e., the amount of gas dissolved in crude oil).A specific high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) sapphire cell with a mobile piston is used to separately study the effect on the optimal salinity of the GOR by adding different amounts of n-alkanes methane (C1), ethane (C2), and propane (C3) at the corresponding saturation pressure, and the effect of pressure (up to 500 bar) is studied in a second cell by varying the cell volume (without changing the live-crude-oil composition).Using the HP/HT sapphire cell, we show that GOR variations (tested values up to 135 std m3/m3) induce important modifications of the brine/surfactant/oil-microemulsion phase behavior. In the case of the studied fluids, experimental data indicate that the optimal salinity of the brine/surfactant/oil system decreases linearly when increasing the amount of gas dissolved in the live crude oil. As a consequence of the Salager relation (Salager et al. 1979), the equivalent alkane carbon number (EACN) of the live crude oil varies linearly with the GOR. We demonstrate hereafter that the cell pressure alone (up to 500 bar), for a fixed composition (i.e., fixed GOR), affects neither the formation nor the stability of the Winsor III (WIII) microemulsion. Furthermore, results suggest that the composition of the dissolved representative gas can have an effect on the microemulsion phase behavior.Three models have been evaluated to estimate EACN values for 13 live crude oils and for the two live oils of interest in this study [Crude Oil 1 and n-tetradecane (n-C14)]. We compared predictions with our new experimental data. The Creton and Mougin (2016) model quantitatively predicts the behavior of live oils and agrees with the negligible effect of pressure on microemulsion formation and stability.
An Algorithm for Automated Identification of Waterflood Pattern Elements
Authors: Ignatov Ivan 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
For waterflood management and production optimization purposes, producers and injectors are often grouped into pattern elements based purely on the wells' location. This grouping is often done manually and can be time consuming. Also, for irregular patterns is it not always obvious which wells can be grouped together. The paper presents an algorithm that formalizes the grouping and automatically identifies pattern elements.
The presented algorithm focuses on identification of pattern elements that contain one producer and several neighboring injectors. First, using the wells' coordinates as input data, Voronoi polygons are constructed. Based on the well types (producer or injector) and common edges of Voronoi polygons producer-injector pairs are identified. Pattern elements are constructed by splitting Voronoi polygons of injectors and adding their parts to Voronoi polygons of producers from correspondent wells pairs. In the resulting pattern elements injectors are located in one of the vertices while producers lie inside the element.
The presented algorithm was tested on synthetic examples and proved to identify pattern elements for both regular (e.g. line drive, 5-spot, etc.) and irregular waterflood patterns. Therefore, it is suitable for automated analysis of waterflood patterns in cases where data or time constraints do not allow to implement streamline analysis or other sophisticated techniques. Calculation of voidage replacement for each identified pattern element allows to reveal areas of over-injection as well as areas lacking pressure support, and accordingly adjust rate targets for each injector in order to achieve and maintain a balanced waterflood. Automated identification of waterflood pattern elements helps to timely adjust water injection when new producers come on stream or existing wells shut-in.
The proposed method provides a fast and pragmatic approach of identifying and updating patterns without performing dynamic simulation. Formalized steps of the presented algorithm allow automated identification of waterflood pattern elements. In addition to manual labor savings, it avoids subjectivity and ambiguity that can arise in case of irregular patterns.
Kuwait's First Memory Production Logging in Horizontal Section Conveyed with Normal Coiled Tubing, Challenges, Risk Assessment and Solution

Abstract
Studying the flow behavior in horizontal section addresses further challenges and complexity. Innovative technologies were developed to overcome the fluid segregation challenges in horizontal sections and cover the entire production profile. In Kuwait, horizontal production logging is typically conveyed on 1.75" electrical coiled tubing which is relatively large size and therefore increases the risk of choking the well or killing low flowrate wells. Also, there is a limitation on the availability of the electrical coiled tubing.
Greater Burgan smart ICD wells require a periodic assessment of the production profile and the contribution from each port to overcome the increasing water cut challenge in such a mature field. To identify the source of water, the engineers planned a new strategy to minimize the choking effect through use of smaller coiled tubing size. However, the available small size coiled tubing are not equipped with an electrical line for real-time data streaming. This challenge was resolved by opting for a horizontal PLT logging recording in a memory mode acquisition.
Running the production logging in memory mode is not unusual in vertical and slightly deviated wells, but it is not common in horizontal wells. Risk assessment was carried out trying to eliminate all the expected obstruction such as having a dummy run while monitoring production behavior on the surface using a testing unit, reducing the coiled tubing speed to avoid disturbing the flow stabilization and watching for any indication of coiled tubing tension-compression changes. A contingency plan was in place, for carrying out a nitrogen activation in case the well chocked below the accurate reading limits during the logging. Following the detailed steps and extensive planned procedure, the logging with memory mode in the horizontal section was successful and resulted in accurate flow profile determination along with contribution from each ICD ports. Using normal coiled tubing instead of the electrical coiled tubing has resulted in reduced operational cost and eliminate the challenge of the limited availability of electrical coiled tubing that was delaying the PLT jobs. The major production logging output was accurately presented from the memory mode.
This paper includes the challenges from using memory production logging in horizontal section. A risk assessment for each of the challenges and contingency plan to apply this method.
From HAZOP Automation to Intelligent Real-Time Operator Decision Support by Means of Multilevel Flow Modelling

Published: November 2019

Abstract
For decades, efforts have been made to automate the HAZOP process. The motivation has mainly been to displace expensive manual HAZOP approaches, that are furthermore known to suffer from systemic quality issues related to system complexity, uncertainty, vagueness and level of knowledge completeness.
With offset in a review of the main historic arguments for automating the HAZOP analysis, and an outline of the particular benefits of employing Multilevel Flow Modelling (MFM) theory in this context, this paper emphasises the opportunity to redeploy the insights achieved by the HAZOP team to assist an operator facing an abnormal event years later.
By means of a detailed analysis of an actual catastrophic failure of a FPSO compression module, the paper demonstrates how MFM enabled HAZOP captures explicitly tacit expert knowledge about the complex interdependencies between process design, equipment design, safety barriers and instrumentation. The paper further describes a methodology to interpret measurements online by means of the MFM analysis, thereby establishing real-time cause and consequence analysis in sufficient time to interrupt the escalation from a benign sensor malfunction to a topside explosion.
The paper concludes by outlining a knowledge management framework centred in MFM of the technical, operational and organizational safety barriers, which would make hitherto tacit knowledge explicitly available at all critical decision points during the lifecycle of a process plant, from design and HAZOP to commissioning, operation and decommissioning, as well as in any plant modification required along the way.
The MFM theory was adapted and extended to capture the experienced failure mode and thereby facilitate HAZOP automation and subsequent intelligent real-time operator decision support.
Exploration and Production: Reducing Geological Risk in the Middle East

Abstract
Exploration in the Middle East can benefit from the creation of sequence stratigraphy-based, scalable, 3D models of the subsurface that are, in effect, a subsurface digital twin that extends from the plate to pore. Stratigraphic and structural organization are integrated into this model to provide a predictive geological framework for analysis of reservoir- and regional-scale geology. This framework enables testing of novel geologic concepts on the Arabian Plate.
The first step of model design is to temporally constrain data within a sequence stratigraphic framework. Publically available data were used in the entire construction of this model. This framework enables the generation of plate-wide chronostratigraphic charts and gross depositional environment (GDE) maps that help to define major changes in the regional geological context. The integration of a geodynamic plate model also provides deeper insight into these spatial and temporal changes in geology. The subsurface model also adopts the principles of Earth systems science to provide insight into the nature of paleoclimate and its potential effect on enhancing the predictive capabilities of the subsurface model. A set of plate-scale regional depth frameworks can be constructed. These, when integrated with GDE maps and other stratigraphic data, facilitate basin screening and play risking.
This plate to play methodology has yielded value through the development of new play concepts and ideas across the Arabian Plate. Exploration has historically relied on the identification of large structures. However, the majority of these are now being exploited. Underexplored stratigraphic traps, and unconventional resources are new concepts that can be better evaluated by using a digital twin of the subsurface. The integration of seismic data and sequence-stratigraphy-calibrated wireline log data can be used to identify the subcrop pattern beneath an unconformity, as well as regions where potential reservoir rocks are in juxtaposition with seals. Intrashelf basins are a key feature of the Arabian Plate. They lead to stratigraphic complexity, yet are key factors for both source rock and reservoir development. From an unconventional perspective, novel, tight plays that exist within or above prominent source rock intervals can also be established.
Value and insight into previously underexplored play concepts, such as within the Silurian Qusaiba Member and the Cretaceous Shilaif Formation of Abu Dhabi, can thus be generated from the stratigraphic attribution of geoscience data. This data can enable better-informed predictions into "white space" away from data control.
