Military, political, and social implications of the legionnaires repatriation to the First Czechoslovak Republic
Authors: Salnikov P. E. 
Published: October 2024

Importance. The relevance of the research lies in the study of military, political and social aspects of the legionnaires’ repatriation to their homeland. Their involvement in territorial conflicts with Hungary and Poland, integration into a peaceful society after a long absence from home – this experience will be useful for Russia. In the context of an ongoing special military operation, the adapting process of its participants to civil society is extremely important. Solving their social and economic problems with an eye to the First Czechoslovak Republic experience will avoid mistakes. The purpose of the study is to study certain aspects of the legionnaires’ return to the First Czechoslovak Republic, to analyze the Czech legionnaire legislation, to take into account the negative experience of the Czech government in solving their problems. The results obtained can be applied to participants, disabled people and veterans of special military operation.Materials and Methods. Materials from the Digital Library of the Czech Ministry of Defense are used in the study. In order to achieve the goals of the study, a historical and systematic approach is employed.Results and Discussion. Even before returning home, the legion members took their place in the national mythologies of the newly formed state as fighters for independence, as well as continuing the Hussite traditions of Jan Hus, Jan Žižka, and Prokop the Great. The Czechoslovak government developed and enacted legislation aimed at recognizing legion members, providing them with certain benefits when applying for positions in government agencies, businesses, the police, and the gendarmerie. Through these laws, the government paid tribute to the legion’s contributions while also reducing tensions within the legion community. However, some of these laws are not implemented in practice, and they are later repealed in 1924 due to economic difficulties. Once in a different environment than that of Russia, the legions lost the unity and cohesiveness that had been fostered by external factors in Russia.Conclusion. Arriving at their homeland, Czechoslovak legionnaires received honor and recognition from the state, in the form of various privileges, positions in society, and the state’s support. In the future, they will occupy an important place in the military organization and socio-political life of the First Czechoslovak Republic.

Authors: Prokhorov A. V. 
Published: October 2024

Importance. The subject-language integrated approach is relatively new in the field of foreign language teaching methods. It pursues a dual goal related to the formation of professional communication skills in a foreign language (the formation of communicative and professional competencies). The application of the subject-language integrated approach faces several challenges related to both teachers and students. Firstly, the level of training of students should correspond to the B1B2 level. Secondly, the level of teacher training should combine the foreign language teaching with the specialized content teaching. The potential of the subject-language integrated approach in teaching foreign languages has already been applied and evaluated in the future doctors training, lawyers, and agricultural specialists.Research Methods. The subject-language integrated approach can be incorporated into the language training for future professionals in the media sphere (areas of training “Journalism”, “Advertising and Public Relations”, “Media Communications”). The professional component of the course is related not only to the thematic content of the classes, but also to the possibility of using modern technologies (for example, the artificial intelligence capabilities, virtual and augmented reality technologies) in the media products development within the framework of the training course with their subsequent discussion in the language being studied.Research Results. The subject-language integrated approach has obvious potential in the language training of future media specialists (areas of study “Journalism”, “Advertising and Public Relations”, “Media Communications”). The specialized subject content of the course, as well as the technologies and tools used in the practice of media specialists in the media products and advertising products development, along with language competencies, allow the formation of professional competencies.Conclusions. The aim of the research is to further investigate the potential of an integrated approach to the training of future media professionals. Of particular interest to the study is the identification of specific speech skills required for effective foreign language communication in the speech interaction professional sphere.

Authors: Gunina N. A. 
Published: October 2024

Importance. The planned transition to new Federal State Educational Standards of the 4th generation has necessitated a revision of the range of competencies developed by students while mastering the educational program in general and in the process of studying different courses. Particular attention has to be paid to the formation of universal competencies, or soft skills, which are necessary for a modern specialist to solve professional problems. To ensure the implementation of this process, Russian universities are introducing additional elective and optional disciplines, as a result of studying which students are expected to acquire a certain set of universal competencies. The purpose of this study is to identify what soft skills can be developed through the elective course “English for cross-cultural communication”.Materials and Methods. The research is carried out using theoretical methods – literature review on the research topic, analysis, comparison and generalization of the results obtained, and experimental methods – a survey of 2nd year undergraduate students. The objectives of the survey include identifying the degree of students’ understanding of the essence of soft skills, identifying priority competencies and receiving feedback on the course content.Results and Discussion. The existing approaches to defining soft skills and their classification are studied. An analysis of the literature on the research problem reveals the lack of a unified terminology, multiple interpretations of the term “soft skills” and classifications of soft skills. An attempt has been made to describe the content of the course “English for cross-cultural communication” in terms of developing soft skills necessary for a modern professional. The types of tasks integrated into the content of the course and their correlation with soft skills formed through one or another type of in-class or out-of-class activities are considered.Conclusion. It is found that the elective course “English for cross-cultural communication” has great potential in terms of increasing the general cultural level of students and developing a wide range of soft skills: communication, cooperation, critical thinking, creativity, empathy, leadership and the ability to work in a team.

Detection of Edge Water Movement and 3D Dynamic Model Calibration Using Pressure Transient Analysis, Onshore Nile Delta, Egypt
Authors: Kamal Sherif Ahmed 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Water drive gas reservoirs pose a significant challenge in detecting gas water contact (GWC) movement and accurately predicting the timing of water breakthrough. The ability to anticipate water breakthrough is critical for production optimizing and ensuring the long life of the reservoir and help in mitigating the reserves. dynamic simulation models are powerful tools for predicting GWC movement, however these models require extensive production data for calibration, which may only become available after water breakthrough has already occurred. This delay in calibration can mislead development planning and result in less effective production strategies. This paper discusses the application of Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) as a tool to monitor water movement and predict water breakthrough times in water drive gas reservoirs before they occur. PTA can be used to obtain key reservoir parameters, estimating skin factors, and detecting reservoir boundaries, all these parameters are important for understanding reservoir behavior. By performing successive analyses, PTA can also detect boundary movement, such as the relative position of GWC in gas wells over time. Reservoir pressure is one of the most valuable and useful sources of data in reservoir engineering, and PTA provides a reliable means of analyzing this data to predict water breakthrough times. Our objective is to demonstrate the effectiveness of PTA in monitoring water movement and predicting water breakthrough times in water drive gas reservoirs.
In summary, this paper offers a practical solution to the problem of detecting GWC movement and predicting water breakthrough times in water drive gas reservoirs. The proposed method of using PTA provides a reliable means of analyzing reservoir data and offers valuable insights into reservoir behavior and future production under various modes of operation.
This paper presents a case study from the Lower Abu Madi (LAM) reservoir in the Nile Delta, Egypt, where PTA was used to monitor GWC movement and predict water breakthrough. The results show the effectiveness of PTA in providing early warning signs of water encroachment, allowing for better-informed reservoir management decisions. The integration of PTA with dynamic simulation models offers a practical solution for overcoming the challenges associated with detecting GWC movement and predicting water breakthrough in water drive gas reservoirs.

Abstract
The West Nile Delta basin is a significant petroleum region in the Mediterranean, hosting numerous gas and condensate fields. These fields consist of a combination of structural and stratigraphic traps with sandstone reservoirs from the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, where turbidite hydrocarbon reservoirs with substantial hydrocarbon volumes are found. This article focuses on the Miocene gas reservoir of the Abu Madi formation in the Abu Qir and Yazzi offshore gas fields, located in the West Nile Delta basin north of Alexandria, Egypt.
The study integrates recorded formation pressure testing points and production history of 6 wells that intervened Abu Madi Formation to identify isolated compartments that do not contribute to field production. The analysis revealed three gas reservoirs. The first reservoir, in the North Abu Qir field, has experienced long-term production, leading to pressure depletion and aquifer sweep, reducing the depth of the gas-water contact. The second reservoir, in the Yazzi field, shows some pressure depletion affected by the first reservoir production, but its gas-water contact remains at its initial depth. The third reservoir, in the eastern compartment, exhibits partial pressure depletion. The conceptual model proposes two main concepts for the relationship between the three gas reservoirs. The first concept involves the local structural framework, where the Abu Madi formation trap consists of multiple anticlines, with spill points playing a crucial role in filling hydrocarbons in these anticlines with the same water contact. The second concept considers the impact of stratigraphic facies changes and heterogeneity on transmissibility and permeability, affecting volumetric recovery efficiency.
The information was compiled into a 3D reservoir simulation model, concluding that the remaining hydrocarbons must be redistributed. This opens the possibility of hydrocarbon accumulation in partially isolated compartments that need development. Additionally, the interpretation of recorded formation pressure testing points gradients was essential in identifying hydrocarbon fluid types, revealing an oil rim in the gas reservoir in the eastern compartment of the Abu Qir gas field, which altered the well development strategy in that area.
A Microfluidic Investigation on the Effect of Bulk Nanobubbles and Fluorocarbon Surfactant on Water Blockage Removal

Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the late-stage development of gas reservoirs, water encroachment poses a significant challenge to maintain stable gas production. Surfactants have limited capabilities in reducing gas-water interfacial tension and water lockage removal. This study explores the potential of using nanobubbles to enhance surfactant performance in removing water blockage and improving gas recovery. A 2.5D microfluidic model is employed to investigate the microscopic mechanisms of water blockage removal using surfactant and nano-bubbles.
A series of core flooding experiments are performed using a 2.5D microfluidic model. Gas displacement is first conducted to the model to arrive at irreducible water saturation, followed by water displacement. The gas enhanced recovery performance is evaluated for fluorocarbon surfactant (FSC) solution, nano-bubble solution (NB), and nanobubble-surfactant solution (FSC+NB) injection respectively. The real-time model images and injection pressure data during displacement are collected to analyze remaining gas distribution and recovery. Fluid injection capacity is assessed by comparing injection pressures.
Results show that the FSC flooding can improve gas recovery by 4.3% due to water blockage removal by wettability alteration, compared with water flooding. NB flooding leads to an improved gas recovery by 6.4% by redistributing residually trapped gas. FSC+NB flooding is shown to further mobilize the residual gas, and the recovery is increased by 12.2% compared with that of water flooding. The experimental results provide visual evidence of the synergistic effect of enhancing gas recovery and water blockage removal by the combination of FSC and NB. Comparisons between injection pressures reveal that both FSC and NB solution shown improved injectability than water. The injection pressure of FSC is the lowest and equal to 21.4% lower than that of water injection. The injection pressure for FSC+NB is 17.8% lower than that of water flooding. NB injection exhibits the highest injection pressure which is 10.9% lower than that of water flooding. During the injection process of NB and FSC, pressure fluctuations are more pronounced, indicating a stronger capability in redistributing the residual trapped gas, which leads to gas recovery improvement and water blockage removal.

Abstract
Some ESP oil producing wells located at BED-3 area had been suffered from deposits formation downstream the pump, which lead to repetitive failures due asphaltene deposition, increased downtime/workover need and loss of production due to the plugging accumulations in ESP stages and motor. This plugging was seen in low and high water cut wells despite the scale inhibitors were injecting efficiently at those wells. In this study, methods such as SARA method, and asphaltene screening are adopted for the study of ESP downhole organic plugging problem. In addition, field trials were conducted by injection the asphaltene dispersant chemical (X) through the control line downhole the sensor of the ESP to ensure the effectiveness of the selected asphaltene dispersant product based on the close monitoring of the relative electrical submersible pump parameters. Further monitoring extended to more than one year proved the best performance of the selected chemical.

Authors: Vera-Rodriguez J. L. , Cinco-Ley H. , Jamiolahmady M. 
Published: October 2024

Summary
Gas and condensate reservoirs exhibit complex behaviors that require extra considerations in their understanding to be effectively managed within conventional oil and gas workflows. As these reservoirs become more critical in the energy transition, especially when discovered under challenging high pressure and temperature conditions (HP/HT), it's essential to address their complexities. Well testing (WT) analysis, under the right assumptions, is a powerful tool for reservoir characterization, offering insights that build upon traditional diagnostics and cannot be answered solely by a build-up test. This paper integrates WT with PVT modeling and compositional simulation, aiming to improve recovery strategies in line with the evolving energy landscape.
PVT analysis is crucial for understanding the phase behavior of gas-condensate systems, while compositional reservoir simulation allows for dynamic modeling of various scenarios, optimizing production strategies. The paper advocates a holistic approach, offering recommendations for the condensate reservoir management within the changing energy paradigm. By integrating WT data with a comprehensive PVT analysis and compositional simulation, this approach enhances the understanding of gas-condensate dynamics and informs the development of optimal production strategies for similar fields (Vera-Rodriguez, 2023).

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Early and accurate detection of operational anomalies in sucker-rod pumping wells is crucial. Maximizing production while minimizing downtime is essential. Traditionally, dynamometer (dyno) card classification has been labor-intensive and inefficient, especially with increasing high-frequency sensor data.
To address this, a Semi-supervised Generative Adversarial Network (SSGAN) is proposed. It classifies sucker-rod pump conditions. The model uses both labeled and unlabeled dyno card data. It learns the underlying data distribution. Synthetic data is generated to improve the training set. This significantly enhances classification accuracy compared to traditional supervised Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), especially with limited data.
SSGAN achieves an accuracy of 86% with limited labeled data and surpasses 92% accuracy with increased labeled data, outperforming the CNN model in both cases. By reducing the reliance on extensive manual labeling, this method offers a promising solution for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of sucker-rod pump monitoring and maintenance.
