Driving Malaysia's Drilling Performance Improvement via Regulatory Benchmarking
Authors: Ahmad M. Sabri Haji , Iqbal M. , Nordin Jaafar , Bakar Samsudin Abu 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This paper outlines the initiative of the Online Drilling Database by Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) Drilling team, the regulatory body of PETRONAS, for Petroleum Arrangement Contractors (PACs) to set an accurate Drilling Minimum Standard (DMS) which forms the guideline for costing and well budgeting as well as benchmarking for performance evaluation across all PACs.
MPM Drilling is being the regulator, enabler and shaper of the drilling industry in Malaysia, that has been entrusted to ensure all drilling activities in Malaysia are conducted in the most efficient, safe and cost effective manner. To date, various initiatives have been implemented via workshops, seminars, technical committee, discussions etc.
The latest initiative is to establish an Online Drilling Database for all Malaysian drilling activities which will reside within MPM's Drilling team. With the availability of reliable data, MPM Drilling will be able to set a highly accurate DMS which forms a guideline on costing and well budgeting, as well as a benchmarking tool for performance evaluation.
Drilling analysis will be conducted via third party software to determine the best well that can be emulated by others for performance improvement. The results will also be accessible online via PETRONAS's website for PACs to view their relative position. Due to data confidentially the name of other PACs shall not be revealed.
MPM Drilling from time to time shall assist PACs for improvement by sharing accurate data, benchmarking and lessons learnt, aimed to achieve high efficiency with low Non Productive Time (NPT) drilling operation. The data will also enable PACs to plan for effective contracting strategy by identifying and retaining high performing Third Party Service contractors to minimize non-productive time to achieve lower well cost.
It also aims to be the center of cost improvement for the Malaysian drilling industry to support cost saving objectives by all parties for win-win situation.
Acoustic-Induced Vibration: A New Methodology for Improved Piping Design Practice
Authors: Agar M. , Ancian L. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV) refers to the high acoustic energy generated by pressure-reducing devices that excite pipe shell vibration modes, producing excessive dynamic stress. Analysis of this risk is an important part of Asset Integrity Management systems as AIV can cause catastrophic piping failure. Existing methodologies address this risk through an analytical assessment. However, these methodologies are not fully known and input parameters are limited. The aim of this paper is to propose an advanced methodology for AIV risk assessment allowing a better understanding of possible mitigation action.
The approach presented for identifying AIV risk is based on a dynamic stress evaluation at pipe discontinuities in order to assess pipe fatigue. Dynamic stress evaluation is performed through a fluid-structure coupling Finite Element Analysis. Pressure fluctuations inside the pipe are predicted and coupled with a pipe structural analysis. This methodology is provided with its validation through measurement on an actual AIV field case, corresponding to a crack initiation due to AIV on an FPSO flare network tail pipe. Piping dynamic behavior and vibration levels on the pipe predicted by this numerical approach are compared to results obtained in the field case study. The comparison shows good agreement between the experimental and computed data, giving confidence in the pertinence of this approach.
The method is then used to quantitatively assess mitigation action efficiency. Existing guidelines are efficient to perform a quick screening of a large number of pipes. However, when it comes to mitigation measures, the limited input parameters used to quantify the Likelihood of Failure restrain from assessing the impact of existing mitigation measures and therefore demonstrating their efficiency. Consequently, the methodology is applied to existing mitigation measures that cannot be quantitatively assessed through existing guidelines such as: the use of sweepolet, forged tee, and full encirclement wrap branch reinforcement. Comparison between computation results with and without mitigation measures make it possible to quantify the impact of such modifications for reducing AIV risk.
Sloshing Reduction Using Floating Mat for Floating LNG Cargo Containment System
Authors: Lee Michael M. S. , Chung Chul , Lee Sang-Gab 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Every effort has been tried for the reduction of sloshing impact loading to the LNG Cargo Containment System (CCS). And, a new type of floating mat system is recently considered for the further sloshing reduction to mitigate the sloshing impact loading in partial filling of the LNG CCS. In this study, model scale sloshing tests are carried out with partial filled tank heights for the comparison of the reduction effects of a new type of floating mat system on the sloshing induced impact loading, and model scale sloshing simulations, using Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MMALE) formulation and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis technique of LS-DYNA code. The sloshing response results from model scale sloshing tests are applied to validate the sloshing simulations for the extension of diverse model scale sloshing simulations and full scale ones.
New Method to Reduce Drilling Survey Time, Cost and Risk for Wells Drilled Offshore Malaysia
Authors: Tajuddin Mondali, T. , Tajuddin A. W. Ahmad , Aznor M. Z. , Harbidge P. , Chanson J. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This paper discusses on the new method of MWD surveying in drilling operations. It highlights the ability to take surveys faster than the conventional method while minimizing drilling risks. This resulted in a significant time reduction of the overall survey operations.
The MWD survey package normally requires the BHA to be stationary before it can start to acquire new survey data. Previous MWD survey systems monitored drilling fluid flow rate to trigger the MWD survey acquisition. This new MWD survey technique monitors rotation, optimising low noise detection, earlier. The new method takes less survey time, the pumps off time removed from the survey period.
This new method has been utilized in 4 out of 5 wells throughout the drilling campaign. The benefits can be clearly quantified from the comparison between the conventional and new approach. Based on the Drilling Mechanical Logs, the new method has proven to be able to shorten the surveying time by up to 80% compared to conventional. This translated to approximately 8.7 hours of rig time savings for the drilling phase of the project. Apart from time saving, it reduces stuck pipe risk by not having to stop pumping while also minimizing pipe stationary time. With the simplified survey operations, there is less likelihood of facing survey problems related to pump, signal and any other issues that may lead to the need of repeating survey.
Companies operating the exploration and production of oil, gas and water energy resources are continually looking for methods and techniques to reduce the time taken to drill and construct wells. The drilling phase is typically where there is a higher cost due to the drilling rig daily spread cost and the associated added environmental, health and safety risk aspects. Typically wellbore construction process is designed with a specified minimum tolerance for placing the wellbore inside the desired geologic zone or horizon, avoiding offset wellbores and geohazards and surveying the wellbore position sufficiently accurately to enable a relief well to be drill in the event of a well blow out.
Wells drilled during the recent five well campaign, offshore Malaysia have utilised this new method for taking surveys with reduced survey time as part of the new operator Operational Excellence and Drilling the Limit initiatives.
Malikai Topside and Hull Integration
Authors: Si Michael , Lim John , Wong G. J. , Choo C. K. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The Malikai platform is the first Shell's Tension Leg Platform (TLP) designed and fabricated outside the Gulf of Mexico. One of the innovative aspects of the project is the first of its kind topside and hull integration: a Mega Jack and Skid System lifted the TLP topside 40m above ground, skidded the topside 90m horizontally across at that height, and set the topside onto the hull structure. On July 19, 2015, the Malikai topside was raised 40m above ground and skidded over the hull before being set down for Topside-Hull integration. The superlift operation, from the commencement of the topside jacking to its final set down, took seven days. This paper describes the concept selection and the operation of the Malikai Topside and Hull integration using Abnormal Load Engineering (ALE) Mega Jack System superlift. The paper also shares the engineering validation, challenges and lessons learned for use with similar future operations.
Horses for courses: analytical tools to explore planetary boundaries
Authors: van Vuuren Detlef P. , Lucas Paul L. , Häyhä Tiina , Cornell Sarah E. , Stafford-Smith Mark 
Published: March 2016

Abstract. There is a need for more integrated research on sustainable development and global environmental change. In this paper, we focus on the planetary boundaries framework to provide a systematic categorization of key research questions in relation to avoiding severe global environmental degradation. The four categories of key questions are those that relate to (1) the underlying processes and selection of key indicators for planetary boundaries, (2) understanding the impacts of environmental pressure and connections between different types of impacts, (3) better understanding of different response strategies to avoid further degradation, and (4) the available instruments to implement such strategies. Clearly, different categories of scientific disciplines and associated model types exist that can accommodate answering these questions. We identify the strength and weaknesses of different research areas in relation to the question categories, focusing specifically on different types of models. We discuss that more interdisciplinary research is need to increase our understanding by better linking human drivers and social and biophysical impacts. This requires better collaboration between relevant disciplines (associated with the model types), either by exchanging information or by fully linking or integrating them. As fully integrated models can become too complex, the appropriate type of model (the racehorse) should be applied for answering the target research question (the race course).
Clara Zetkin's 1914 Preface to Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1887)
Authors: Partington John S. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
In 1914 Zetkin was asked by her publisher, J. H. W. Dietz, to prepare a fresh edition of Ein Rückblick aus dem Jahre 2000 auf das Jahr 1887, and in so doing she took the opportunity to add a foreword. The foreword was regularly reprinted in later versions of Bellamy's novel from 1914 to 1980, though it has never appeared in the (pre- or postunification) Federal Republic, and although the German Democratic Republic regularly included it in reprints of the novel, the foreword was also omitted from Zetkin's selected writings. There are three main collections of Zetkin's writings in English—those published in the online Marxist Internet Archive, the pieces collected in Zetkin's Selected Writings, edited by Philip S. Foner, and those recently edited by Mike Jones and Ben Lewis as her Letters and Writings—but the foreword has not appeared in any. Therefore, the time seems ripe for the publication of an English translation of the foreword, especially given the perennial importance of Edward Bellamy in the utopian tradition and also the recent surge of interest in Clara Zetkin within academic discourse.
Spectatorship and Entanglement in Thoreau, Hawthorne, Morris, and Wells
Authors: Holland Owen 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
This article traces the metaphor of entanglement as it appears in the writings of four nineteenth-century authors who were differently involved with the utopian tradition. The connotations of entanglement range from the sexual and political, encompassing the difficulty of reconciling the competing demands of autonomy and solidarity, to the evolutionary and eugenic. William Morris's comments on Henry David Thoreau's Walden (1854) offer the basis for a comparison of the divergent utopian strategies articulated by Morris and Thoreau, setting up the opposition between spectatorship and entanglement. The sexual connotations of entanglement are on display in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance (1852), which, when observed, illuminate the existence of a similar problematic, albeit differently resolved, in Morris's News from Nowhere (1890), recalling Morris's response to Thoreau. Thoreau's utopian strategy of individual withdrawal and secession is at odds with Morris's assertion of the political value of collective social transformation through the agency of social revolution. Thoreauvian traces, however, are clearly detectable in the practice of the Samurai in H. G. Wells's A Modern Utopia (1905), in which the metaphor of entanglement has unmistakably eugenic implications, prompting reassessment of the connection between Morris and Wells, particularly in relation to their differing class politics.
Kommunikation i lokalsamfundene: kultur og deltagelse
Authors: Peruzzo Cicilia M. Krohling 
Published: March 2016

Også i Latinamerika ser man en tendens i retning af, at der kommer flere
lokale medier til, samtidig med at kommunikationssystemerne internati-
onaliseres. Cicilia M. Krohling Peruzzo beskæftiger sig her med et cen-
tralt tema i den latinamerikanske mediediskussion, nemlig borgerrettig-
heder - og mediernes betydning i den forbindelse. Hun argumenterer for
de lokale mediers store kulturelle og politiske betydning i Latinamerika,
hvor de fungererer som kanal for folkelig deltagelse. I denne artikel ana-
lyserer hun betingelserne for lokal deltagelse i kommunikation i lokalsam-
fundene med eksempler fra to lokale radioprojekter, hvor det i forskellig
grad er lykkedes at aktivere den lokale befolkning og inddrage den i pro-
duktion, beslutninger og planlægning omkring radioerne. Artiklen er en

Kulturel afhængighed: tre dimensioner
Authors: Fox Elizabeth 
Published: March 2016

Begrebet kulturel afhængighed har altid spillet en stor rolle i den latin-
amerikanske mediedebat og -politik. Elisabeth Fox diskuterer begre-
bet både fra den praktiske side, mediepolitikken, og fra den teoretiske,
udvikling af nye begreber om sammenhængen mellem kultur og øko-
nomi. Hun viser, hvordan mediepolitikken på det latinamerikanske
kontinent har udviklet sig gennem de sidste 30 år: De socialistiske
regeringers forsøg i 60´erne og 70´erne på at beskytte den nationale
kulturelle identitet gennem statsstyring af medierne. Militærregimernes
brug af TV til propagandaformål. 80´ernes ekspansion i den privateje-
de latinamerikanske medieindustri med stor eksport af telenovelaer og
endelig 90´ernes privatiseringsbølge. Til slut i artiklen beskrives nogle
af de nye teorier og begreber om kulturel afhængighed, der er udviklet
i Latinamerika de sidste år. Artiklen er en redigeret udgave af et paper
præsenteret på IAMCRs konference i Guarujá, Brasilien, august 1992
og udgivet i tidsskriftet Chasqui i 1993 i en redigeret udgave.
Kultur og kommunikation: den nødvendige teori
Authors: Fadul Anamaria 
Published: March 2016

De kommunikationsteorier, som de fleste latinamerikanske medieforsk-
ere arbejder med, er ikke tidssvarende. Mange forskere arbejder stadig
med manipulationsteorier og hænger fast i en romantisk idé om "det fol-
kelige". Derfor beskæftiger de sig kun lidt med de mest populære medie-
genrer, som virkelig har en kulturel betydning, f.eks. telenovelaen. Det er
på tide, argumenterer Anamaria Fadul i dette teoretiske manifest, at skabe
Den Nødvendige Teori - en medieteori, som har rødder i den latinameri-
kanske medievirkelighed og som indser telenovelaens centrale betydning
for en fælles latinamerikansk kulturel identitet. Artiklen gennemgår i hoved-
træk udviklingen indenfor den latinamerikanske medieteori siden 70´erne
og kommer med forslag til udvikling af en ny teoretisk vinkel med vægt på
massekultur og genrer. Artiklen er oprindeligt udgivet (1989) i Margarida
M. Kunsch og Francisco Assis Fernandes (red.), Communicacao, Demo-
cracia e Cultura. São Paolo: Loyola/Intercom.
Modernitet og massemedier - med udgangspunkt i Anthony Giddens´ sociologi
Authors: Nielsen Henrik Kaare 
Published: March 2016

Et vigtigt bidrag til nyere sociologisk teori kommer fra englænderen
Anthony Giddens. Centralt i Giddens´ sociologi er en ændret opfattelse
af forholdet mellem aktør og struktur. Dette åbner mulighed for en ny
forståelse af forholdet mellem medieinstitutioner og aktører, hvor man
undgår totaliserende og funktionalistiske antagelser. Giddens' udkast
til en modernitetsteori tildeler endvidere medierne en nøglerolle. Både
trykte og elektroniske medier har været centrale for den løsrivelse af
social interaktion fra konkret tid og sted, der kendetegner højmoderni-
teten. Når stadig flere livsområder underkastes institutionelle, abstrakte
styringsmekanismer, hvilket indebærer uoverskuelighed og nye risici,
får medierne en stadig vigtigere rolle som tilvejebringere af tillid. I denne
artikel præsenterer Henrik Kaare Nielsen vigtige elementer i Giddens´
sociologi og diskuterer dens relevans for medieforskningen.
Mediernes magt eller magtens medier? Mediernes udvikling i Italien i 80´erne og 90´erne
Authors: Cecchini Leonardo 
Published: March 2016

Videocrazia - TV-magt - et er nøgleord i italiensk mediepolitik. I Italien er
medierne og den politiske magt tæt sammenvævet. Cecchini fortæller de
italienske mediers historie fra 70´ernes cowboy-deregulering til mediemag-
naten Berlusconis fremkomst i 80´erne og forvandling til politiker, partiejer
og ministerpræsident i 90´erne. Han beskriver kampene og sejrene på det
liberaliserede TV-marked, TVs politiske betydning bl.a. i Berlusconis valg-
kamp, og den manglende politiske mulighed for at gribe ind overfor mono-
poldannelse. Artiklen rummer også et rids af udviklingen i den trykte pres-
se, radio og film og et kig ind i fremtiden for de italienske medier.

I diskussionen af nye elektroniske medier indtager interaktivitets-
begrebet en central rolle og er noget, næsten alle taler om, men
ved nærmere eftersyn viser det sig, at begrebet ikke har nogen
præcis betydning. I denne oversigtsartikel behandler Jens F.
Jensen interaktivitetsbegrebets placering i medie- og kommunika-
tionsforskning, og han diskuterer nogle af de vigtigste forsøg på at
definere interaktivitet. Artiklen munder ud i et forsøg på at opstille et

Reklamer på Internet
Authors: Schmidt Rigmor Kappel 
Published: March 2016

Internet rummer en række muligheder for at nå kolossale målgrupper
via reklamering. Imidlertid peger Rigmor Kappel Schmidt på, at selv om
handelen via Internet er ved at komme igang, går det ikke så godt for
reklamer på Internet. Mange Internet-brugere oplever tilsendte reklamer
som en aggressiv og utidig indtrængen, Og mediets muligheder for inter-
aktion og kommunikation åbner op for, at modstanden mod reklamer kan
komme direkte til orde. Den særlige "netiquette" lader til at regulere utidig
indtrængen. Scenariet i fremtiden kan blive, at de som ønsker at sælge
noget, pænt må sætte sig og afvente, at kunderne kommer af sig selv.
Lad kunderne definere deres behov og forsøg derefter at leve op til det.
Lederen
Authors: Vestergaard Torben 
Published: March 2016

Som en tilkendegivelse af redaktionens meninger og holdninger er lederen
en væsentlig avisgenre - ikke blot for avisen selv, men også for mange af
dens læsere. Ikke desto mindre er lederen relativt ubeskrevet i medieforsk-
ningen. Artiklen vil råde bod på denne mangel ved at beskrive lederens
særlige tekstuelle træk. Til dette formål belyses forskellene mellem leder of
nyhedsartikel, hvorefter lederens struktur og kommunikative formål be-
handles udfra teksttype- og genreteori. Dette giver mulighed for af analy-
sere de teksttyper og det inventar af argumentationsformer, som den kon-
krete leder kan benytte sig af, når der skal vurderes, fortolkes, anbefales,
opfordres ect. Afslutningsvis diskuteres, om den gængse opdeling af avis-
stoffet mellem det neutralt rapporterende og partisk kommenterende egent-
lig er så vandtæt, som det idealtypisk antages.
Hvor er den ironiske generation? - om unge mediebrugeres billedlæsningskompetencer
Authors: Thorup John 
Published: March 2016

På baggrund af betydelige resultater fra 80´ernes og 90´ernes receptions-
og reklameforskning er der opstået en generel opfattelse af, at unge er i
besiddelse af særlige mediekompetencer, at de har optrænet et særligt
distanceret blik for ironi og satire. Med udgangspunkt i en gruppe danske
gymnasieelevers analyser af en Diesel-reklame, diskuterer forfatteren i
denne artikel, om de unge faktisk er i stand til at gennemskue den pågæld-
ende reklames kritisk-ironiske kommentar til det mellemlagsmiljø, den tema-
tiserer, og om de unge generelt forstår betydningspotentialerne i de rekla-
mer, der har dem selv som målgruppe.
Et originalt og komplekst sprog
Authors: Gubern Romá 
Published: March 2016

Tegneserier er en semiotisk udfordring, fordi de fortæller historier i en
kombination af billeder og tekst. Forståelsen af tegneserier involverer
derfor såvel narrative som visuelle og lingvistiske koder i kombinationer,
der markerer tegneseriens æstetiske egenart. Der er dog kun i begræn-
set omfang udviklet en terminologi, der kan anvendes til definitionen af
tegneseriens særlige tegn og tegnkombinationer. I denne artikel giver
Romá Gubern en definition på tegneserien, hvorefter han med et semio-
tisk udgangspunkt gennemgår de særtræk, der karakteriserer tegne-
serien, og foreslår en tegneseriens terminologi.
“Anders And, han virker så dansk” -At vokse op med Disney i Danmark
Authors: Stevn Anne Mette 
Published: March 2016

Siden Mickey Mouse først så dagens lys i 1928, har Walt Disneys figurer
og eventyruniverser bredt sig til hele jordkloden: Anders And, Mickey
Mouse, Snehvide, Simba, Tarzan m.fl. Indtil for 10-15 år siden var den
normale Disneyoplevelse for en dansker først og fremmest knyttet til det
skriftlige medie, nemlig tegneserie-bladene og især Anders And & Co. I
dag er 'Disneykulturen' en stærk flerarmet mediekultur, som går på tværs
af generationer og krydser landegrænser; og Disneys tilstedeværelse i
børns populærkultur i næsten hele verden er blevet meget mere omfat-
tende, siden eventyrets begyndelse i 1920erne. I denne artikel belyser
Anne Mette Stevn gennem en historisk orienteret receptionsanalyse,
hvorledes danskernes brug og oplevelse af Disneys produkter har ud-
viklet sig.
