Published: October 2019

Resume
Currently, due to the depletion of terrigenous oilfields there is an increasing tendency in non-conventional hydrocarbon resources like Achimov formations, which characterized by high heterogeneity and low permeability and porosity. Furthermore, AF was transit interval on the most of oil fields, resulting in poor knowledge at core data and well logs. This fact makes it difficult to estimate AF geological properties and predict potential for drilling zones. While researching such a complex object engineers often try to fill in the data from analogous fields that sometimes increases error caused by incorrect analog choice.
AF have huge potential in terms of regeneration of the oil and gas resources base, however for its effective development and analysis there is a need in correct systematization and intelligence analysis of available information about this object.
This challenge can be solved by creating an expert system, which will allow to process huge amount of scattered information, analyze it with respect to its scale and suggest some kind of information such as perspective in terms of development and analogous zones and fields, technological solutions and their results, based on previous experience

ABSTRACT
The AGT Survey and SIM Geospatial Team in collaboration with SOCAR have deployed efficient and low risk geospatial data acquisition technologies based on Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) for exploration and reservoir development projects. This technology provides key imaging data with high visual quality and positional accuracy. Imagery acquisition for a recent project significantly contributed to the reduction of the company needs for regular field expeditions of geologists and geophysicists. The imagery acquired also supported some geological and geophysical analysis through quantitative imagery analysis methods. This project involved imagery acquisition from satellite and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The use of UAV required extensive collaboration and development work with a UAV acquisition contractor, BP aviation and PSCM teams and SOCAR to ensure that the UAV is operating in full compliance with Azerbaijan, BP and International Civil Aviation Organization regulations.
The AGT Survey and SIM Geospatial Team also deployed the acquisition of satellite and airbone imagery for the Shallow Water Absheron Peninsula and ShahDeniz 2 - South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion projects which contributed to the successful starting of exploration and reservoir development analysis in the Caspian Sea and planning of route alignment over Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey. In is well known, that the onshore and offshore deployment of field crews has an associated cost and exposes personnel to Health and Safety risks. The deployment of satellite and airborne observation programs played a significant role in the reduction of risks and costs for survey geographic data collection and analysis without deployment of field crews.

Abstract
The production of associated petroleum gas in the Russian Federation is the most important component of the country's energy supply. Natural gas consumption is increasing annually, both in Russia and in other countries. For example, gas consumption in Europe in the first quarter of 2018 has reached its peak level for five years - 194.3 billion m3 [1]. The increase in exports of Russian natural gas to Germany by 12.4%, Austria - by 62.5%, to the Netherlands - by 80.5%, Croatia - by 2.5 times, China - by 36% is observed. It is a strategic task for oil and gas companies to account for the production of associated gas, because there is a discrepancy between the production of gas and the volume of the combusted part of the gas, which is primarily due to the lack of effective technologies for measuring the amount of gas, including gas-oil ratio. It is necessary to measure both the free gas phase released from the oil under the pressure at the oil sampling point and the residual amount of dissolved gas in the oil, as well.
The most appropriate and effective way to measure the total gas oil ratio is to measure it with portable devices. According to the Ruling Document (RD) [2], the measurement of the GOR at the wells must be carried out annually when the formation pressure is higher than the saturation pressure. The designers of gas factor measurement units are faced with the task of improving the quality of oil separation from gas under surface conditions and increasing the accuracy of GOR measuring. Measurement of oil, gas and water flow rates at oil production sites can be carried out by immobile or portable automated group metering stations.
A method is known to measure the flow rates of oil, gas and water that is based on determining the filling rates of two successive measuring vessels and their subsequent emptying [3]. The flow rate of the water-oil mixture is determined by the time of filling the vessels, and the flow rate of the gas phase is determined by the speed of emptying the vessels. Water cut of oil or water flow rate is determined by the difference of the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic waves along the height of the liquid column in the cylinder at the moment of its filling. The drawback of this method is that there are dispersed water and gas phases in the form of droplets and bubbles present in a liquid that fills the cylindrical vessel during measurements, which leads to a significant measurement error. In addition, a sufficient amount of dissolved associated gas remains in the oil phase, which does not escape from oil at the operating pressure (usually the pressure of the pressure manifold) and therefore cannot be taken into account in the calculations of the gas content in oil or the gas flow rate.
Artificial Lift Method Selection for Mature Oil Fields: A Case Study
Authors: Darvish Sarvestani Arman , Hadipour Ali 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
As oil production continues, reservoir pressure decreases and oil production rate may not be as high as the plateau production rate. Once any sign of reduction in oil production rate has been observed, improved oil recovery (IOR) techniques are considered to aid the production. However, IOR methods could be accomplished from the beginning of oil production. Among different IOR methods, implementing artificial lift systems is one of the main options especially in brown fields. Artificial lift methods are categorized into pump-lift methods and gas-lift methods. In this study, screening process has been performed to find feasible artificial lift methods. During the screening process, different aspects of reservoir, well and fluid behavior have been studied to find the feasible options and it has been concluded that only ESP and gas lift could be implemented in this particular field. Both of these methods have been studied by simulating an integrated model including the reservoir and all of the candidate wells. So, impact of any variation in reservoir or well properties has been captured during the next 10 years. Three scenarios have been defined to predict the field performance by natural depletion, installing electrical submersible pumps and implementing gas lift system.
Although an option might be selected as the best method for the present time, a long term evaluation is able to change the selected method. Integrated modeling the whole system of reservoir and wells provides a better understanding of the impact of different factors on performance of each scenario in long time. By performing a number of sensitivity analysis tests, it has been observed that increasing the water-cut may affect noticeably the performance of lifting systems. So, the pressure and water-cut of the reservoir and wells have been predicted during the next decade. It has been shown that using gas-lift method in the mentioned field has the highest oil recovery factor and the cumulative oil production during the next 10 years is more than 134 MMSTB. The ESP pumping system could lift almost 112 MMSTB oil during 10 years, while the natural depletion system has the lowest recovery and only 13 MMSTB oil could be produced during the same period.

Authors: Hassouna Fady M.A , Pringle Ian 
Published: October 2019

Introduction:

As fatalities, injuries, and economic losses from road accidents are a major concern for governments and their citizens, Australia, like other countries, has designed and implemented a wide range of strategies to reduce the rate of road accidents.

Methods:
As part of the strategy design process, data on crash deaths were collected and then analyzed to develop more effective strategies. The data of crash deaths in Australia during the years 1965 to 2018 were analyzed based on gender, causes of crash deaths, and type of road users, and then the results were compared with global averages, then a prediction model was developed to forecast the future annual crash fatalities.

Results:
The results indicate that, based on gender, the rate of male road fatalities in Australia was significantly higher than that of female road fatalities. Whereas based on the cause of death, the first cause of death was over speeding. Based on the type of road users, the drivers and passengers of 4-wheel vehicles had the highest rate of fatalities.

Conclusion:
The prediction model was developed based on Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) methodology, and annual road fatalities in Australia for the next five years 2019-2022 have been forecast using this model.
Effects of Adipocyte-derived Factors on the Adrenal Cortex
Authors: Shimada Hiroki , Noro Erika , Suzuki Susumu , Sakamoto Jun , Sato Ikuko , Parvin Rehana , Yokoyama Atsushi , Sugawara Akira 
Published: October 2019

Background and Objective:
Obesity is highly complicated by hypertension and hyperglycemia.
In particular, it has been proposed that obesity-related hypertension is caused by adipocyte-derived
factors that are recognized as undetermined proteins secreted from adipocytes. Adipocyte-derived factors
have been known to be related to aldosterone secretion in the adrenal gland. So far, Wnt proteins,
CTRP-1, VLDL, LDL, HDL and leptin have been demonstrated to stimulate aldosterone secretion. In
contrast, it has not yet been clarified whether adipocyte-derived factors also affect adrenal cortisol secretion.

Methods and Results:
In the present study, we investigated the effect of adipocyte-derived factors on
cortisol synthase gene CYP11B1 mRNA expression in vitro study using adrenocortical carcinoma
H295R cells and mouse fibroblast 3T3-L1cells. Interestingly, adipocyte-derived factors were demonstrated
to have the ability to stimulate CYP11B1 mRNA expression.

Conclusion:
Since CYP11B1 is well known as a limiting enzyme of cortisol synthesis, our study suggests
that adipocyte-derived factors may stimulate cortisol secretion, as well as aldosterone secretion.
Taken together, adipocyte-derived factors may be the cause of metabolic syndrome due to their stimulating
effects on aldosterone/cortisol secretion. Therefore, the innovation of novel drugs against them
may possibly be a new approach against metabolic syndrome.

Therefore, healthcare professionals must provide in-depth explanation of medication instructions to enhance comprehension.
Assessment of a Communication Assistive Technology for Individuals with Deafblindness: A Case Study
Authors: Cantin Sylvie , De Abreu Cybis Walter , Trudeau Suzanne , Poncet Frédérique , Wittich Walter , Wanet-Defalque Marie-Chantal 
Published: October 2019

The main goal of this study was to evaluate a communication assistance device (CAD) for individuals with deafblindness, based on a braille display notetaker connected via Bluetooth to an iPhone. This study examined the use of this device by a 61-year-old woman living with Usher syndrome with sighted and hearing interlocutors during three restaurant outings.
The study had three specific objectives: 1) To evaluate the participant’s and her interlocutors’ perceptions of their productivity in the communication interaction in real-life situations, without and with the CAD; 2) To evaluate the participant's emotional experience after using the CAD; and 3) To describe how the communication interactions between the participant and her interlocutors work, without and with the CAD. The relevance, utility and interest of such a communication support technology became clearly apparent, along with the enthusiasm it aroused in her interlocutors. Despite the empowerment it provided, the huge differences in some aspects of interactions made without and with the CAD suggest that the constraints introduced by the use of a CAD modify the nature of communication. Four recommendations are made. Any future development of the technology intended for users with minimal experience working with computers and electronic devices should be encouraged.

The Unintended Consequences of Material Weakness Reporting on Auditors' Acceptance of Aggressive Client Reporting
Authors: Bauer Tim D. , Bucaro Anthony C. , Estep Cassandra 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
Regulators are concerned that auditors do not sufficiently identify and report material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). However, psychological licensing theory suggests reporting material weaknesses could have unintended consequences for acceptance of aggressive client financial reporting. In an experiment, we predict and find auditors accept more aggressive client reporting after they report a material weakness in ICFR than after they report no material weakness. We provide evidence licensing underlies this effect. In a second experiment, we investigate the efficacy of an intervention to reduce the identified licensing effects by prompting an audit quality goal. We find this prompt mitigates the unintended consequence when auditors report a material weakness. While regulators are concerned companies are undeservedly receiving clean ICFR audit opinions, our findings indicate adverse ICFR opinions may lead auditors to give companies undeservedly clean financial statement opinions. We provide a potential remedy to this unintended consequence.
Aesthetics Qua Excess: Mario Perniola and Jacques Rancière
Authors: Vogt Erik 
Published: October 2019

According to Jacques Rancière, the contemporary anti-aesthetic consensus has denounced aesthetics “as the perverse discourse which bars this encounter and which subjects works, or our appreciation thereof, to a machine of thought conceived for other ends: the philosophical absolute, the religion of the poem or the dream of social emancipation” (Rancière, Aesthetics and Its Discontents, 2009: 2). However, what seems to be the most problematic trait of aesthetics is its excessive confusion of “pure thought, sensible affects and artistic practices.”
But for both Rancière and Mario Perniola, the excess of aesthetics, that is, its confusion and obliteration of the borders between the arts, between high art and popular art, as well as between art and life – a commixture not to be mistaken for some postmodern transgression of modernist boundaries, for both Rancière and Perniola keep critical distance to the notions of modernism and postmodernism – constitutes the very knot “by which thoughts, practices and affects are instituted and assigned a territory or a ‘specific’ object” (Rancière, Aesthetics and Its Discontents, 2009: 4).
This paper will demonstrate that aesthetics in Rancière and Perniola represents neither simply a general art theory nor a theory defining art by means of its effects on the senses, but rather a specific order of the identification and thinking of art. Moreover, it will argue that Rancière’s and Perniola’s respective elaborations of the relationship between aesthetics and art occur in the larger context of a primary aesthetics associated with the topographical analysis of the means in which the sensible, common world is constructed, parceled out and contested. It will also be shown that primary aesthetics, for both Rancière and Perniola, includes non-artistic realms and practices such as politics, culture, education, science, and economy in that all these realms and practices presuppose the sensible configuration of a specific world. Thus, primary aesthetics is ultimately to be grasped as distribution of the sensible (Rancière) or as sensology (Perniola) that determines not only that which is given in a common manner, but also – and more specifically – that which can be seen, felt, said or done and at the same time modes of seeing, feeling, saying or doing that are excluded from that which is given in a common manner.

The Teleological Nature of Digital Aesthetics – the New Aesthetic in Advance of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Contreras-Koterbay Scott 
Published: October 2019

If aesthetic and teleological judgments are equally reflective, then it can be argued that such judgments can be applied concurrently to digital objects, specifically those that are products of the rapidly developing sophisticated forms of artificial intelligence (AI). Evidence of the aesthetic effects of technological development are observable in more than just experienceable objects; rooted in inscrutable machine learning, AI’s complexity is a problem when it is presented as an aesthetic authority, particularly when it comes to automated curatorial practice or as a progressively determinative aesthetic force originating in an independent agency that is internally self-consistent.
Rooted in theories of the post-digital and the New Aesthetic, this paper examines emerging new forms of art and aesthetic experiences that appear to reveal these capabilities of AI. While the most advanced forms of AI barely qualify for a ‘soft’ description at this point, it appears inevitable that a ‘hard’ form of AI is in the future. Increased forms of technological automation obscure the increasingly real possibility of genuine products of the imagination and the creativity of autonomous digital agencies as independent algorithmic entities, but such obfuscation is likely to fade away under the evolutionary pressures of technological development. It’s impossible to predict the aesthetic products of AI at this stage but, if the development of AI is teleological, then it might be possible to predict some of the foreseeable associated aesthetic problems.
