Need a Faster Measure of Relative Permeability? Take a CT Scan and Follow With Digital Rock Analysis
Authors: Rassenfoss Stephen 
Published: August 2017

BP is working to push digital rock testing into the mainstream of conventional development.
The latest step in its decade-long journey was a deal with Exa, a software firm that partnered with BP to develop a program modeling two-phase flow in conventional reservoirs based on data from virtual 3D images of small samples of reservoir rock.
Compared with methods used by traditional core labs, this approach significantly reduces the time and cost required, and offers the processing software in a form that could help broaden the use of this disruptive technology.
These tools and methods will be used by BP’s technology center to generate reservoir rock property data that will be used by BP’s asset managers to consider how to better manage a wide range of conventional reservoirs, said Joanne Fredrich, upstream technology senior advisor at BP.
The system measures relative permeability—in this case the degree that flow rates are reduced when oil and water are mixed—using a 3D digital image based on scans of small rock samples by a micro CT, known in the medical field as computed tomography. CT machines are used for medical scanning and are able to image extremely fine details.
Relative permeability has been notably lacking from BP’s long list of conventional reservoir tests using digital rock analysis, which range from measures of reservoir porosity to electrical resistance. Absolute permeability has been available, but that measure of single-phase flow is not a good representation of reservoir reality.
“We have so little relative permeability data. We see this as a potential game changer for subsurface modeling that more accurately characterizes reservoirs,” Fredrich said.
Measures of relative permeability have long been done in core labs. Digital analysis can reduce the time required to get back relative permeability results from a year or more to a couple of weeks or less, and the software can be scaled up to allow BP to speed work by running simulations on thousands of processors at its supercomputing center, she said.
The software deal with Exa allows BP to use the software it helped develop with the maker of fluid flow simulations, and for Exa to market it to other users.
“We are the first company to bring an accepted, credible technology to market” to simulate multiphase flow and predict relative permeability using this sort of data, said David Freed, vice president of oil and gas for Exa.

Technology Focus
According to Investopedia, in 2015, the oil and gas industry accounted for between 4.6 and 6.5% of the global economy. In a recent discussion I had with a friend, we spoke about the effect this industry has on the lives of so many people. Many of the effects are positive, and, as we see in the current discussions of climate change, some are potentially negative. As Janeen Judah, 2017 SPE president, stated in her April 2017 JPT column, we have the power to build sustainable communities and improve the lives of people where we operate. Our innovation across all aspects of health, safety, security, environment, and social responsibility not only helps our industry reduce the chances, or consequences, of unplanned events but also may help develop the capacity of a country or village to take care of its own citizens.
Some of these recent improvements can be seen in the papers that follow, from understanding well control and human factors better to using robotics to remove people from hazardous environments. We also see increasing interest in effects on the environment from our activities in the form of publicly funded studies on the potential for groundwater contamination. At the 2017 SPE Health, Safety, Security, Environment, and Social Responsibility Conference—North America, held in April in New Orleans, we held a series of plenary discussions on the science of the human brain, on social interactions, and on how to apply this knowledge to improve our performance. Our industry is conducting some amazing research and development, and the tools and processes we develop will help us, and the world, to better develop and use the natural resources we need now and in the future.

Authors: Rey Anacona César Armando 
Published: August 2017

Se requiere más investigación sobre los posibles factores de riesgo de la violencia sexual en el noviazgo. Se comparó la prevalencia por sexo de seis agresiones sexuales entre 902 varones y mujeres colombianos solteros y sin hijos, y se comparó a los participantes que reportaron al menos una agresión sexual con los que no, en las siguientes variables: duración de la relación, edad, comunicación de pareja, rasgos de agresividad/dominación/intransigencia, observación de violencia marital y aceptación de la violencia en el matrimonio. Un porcentaje significativamente mayor de varones reportó haber ejercido cuatro de estas seis conductas, comparados con las mujeres. Los participantes que informaron al menos una agresión sexual tenían un rango promedio de edades significativamente mayor y presentaron puntuaciones más altas en rasgos de agresividad/dominación/intransigencia y más bajas en comunicación de pareja, reportaron más agresiones entre sus padres y un porcentaje significativamentemayor estuvo de acuerdo con 26 de 28 frases referentes al uso de la violencia en el matrimonio. No hubo diferencias con respecto a la duración de la relación. Se destaca la necesidad de considerar estas variables en la prevención primaria y secundaria de este tipo de violencia.
Use of ceramic pot filter (CPF) technology under pressure in an in-line pumping system
Authors: Gardner Travis D. , Guggenberger Joe D. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Ceramic pot filters (CPFs) are an effective point of use water treatment device in developing nations due to their low cost and effectiveness. CPFs are gravity fed, typically making water production a major limiting factor to a CPF's lifetime and acceptability. Directly connecting CPFs to in-line pumping systems or systems with an elevated storage tank would allow filter usage for constant water treatment at increased pressures, increasing the quantity of treated water. Ceramic disks were manufactured for testing in a specially designed housing apparatus. Filters of varying thicknesses and clay to sawdust mass ratios were manufactured to fit tightly. Flowrate and microbiological removal efficacy (logarithmic reduction value (LRV)) were determined over the testing period at various pressures. Flowrate values ranged from 2.44 to 9.04 L per hour, significantly higher than traditional CPF technology. LRVs ranged from 1.1 to 2.0, lower than traditional CPF technology but still effective at removing most Escherichia coli and total coliform bacteria. Filters proved effective at removing total and fecal coliforms at pressures less than 70 kilopascals. The optimum filter had a thickness of 3.2 cm and clay to sawdust ratio of 6:1 by mass. Filters proved to be ineffective if flowrates were above 5 L/h.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater from the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process is characterized by the presence of trace elements of concern, such as selenium (Se) and boron (B) and relatively high salinity. To simulate treatment that FGD wastewater undergoes during transport through soils in subsurface treatment systems, a column study (140-d duration) was conducted with native Kansas soil and saline FGD wastewater, containing high Se and B concentrations (170 μg/L Se and 5.3 mg/L B) and negligible arsenic (As) concentration (∼1.2 μg/L As). Se, B, and As, and dissolved organic carbon concentrations and organic matter spectroscopic properties were measured in the influent and outflow. Influent Se concentrations were reduced by only ∼half in all treatments, and results suggest that Se sorption was inhibited by high salinity of the FGD wastewater. By contrast, relative concentrations (C/Co) of B in the outflow were typically &lt;10%, suggesting that B sequestration may have been enhanced by higher salinity. Unexpected elevated As concentrations in the outflow (at &gt;150 μg/L in the treatment with labile organic carbon addition) suggest that soils not previously known to be geogenic arsenic sources have the potential to release As to groundwater in the presence of high salinity wastewater and under reducing conditions.
Effects of Plasma Activated Medium on Head and Neck FaDu Cancerous Cells: Comparison of 3D and 2D Response
Authors: Chauvin Julie , Judee Florian , Merbahi Nofel , Vicendo Patricia 
Published: August 2017

Objective: The aim of this work is to investigate the inhibitory effect of Plasma Activated Medium
(PAM) on Head and Neck cancerous cells (FaDu). The response of FaDu cells in monolayer cultures and Multi
Cellular Tumor Spheroids (MCTS) after treatment with different PAMs will be compared.

Background:

Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma is a widespread cancer that responds poorly to anticancer
treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Nowadays there is a growing interest in cold plasmas
and their applications in cancer therapy.

Methods:
A homemade helium plasma jet is used to produce PAM. The effects of PAM and hydrogen peroxide
H2O2 on FaDu 2D cells cultures and MCTS were characterized by evaluating the cell viability with PrestoBlue
test and by measuring the size of MCTS.

Results:
One treatment with PAM induce cell detachment from MCTS since the first day in a PAM exposure
dependent manner. This is due to the presence of H2O2 in PAM. However, a rapid spheroids regrowth is observed
attributed to a resistance of FaDu cells to H2O2. After multiple treatments of MCTS with PAM we obtained
an inhibition of cell growth. MCTS are brought out when comparing PAM effect on 2D versus MCTS.
Inversely, PAM induces cell death in the case of 2D cell culture.

Conclusion:
PAM may be considered as a potentially efficient agent in the therapy of head and neck cancer.
We also point out that MCTS is a more valuable model than 2D cell culture for the evaluation of the anti-cancer
activity of PAM.
Light Transmitting Lightweight Concrete with Transparent Plastic Bar
Authors: Kim Byoungil 
Published: August 2017

Introduction:
The ENV model proposed by TRIZ secured light transmission by replacing the existing costly transparent optical fibers with low-cost transparent materials with improved constructability, and improved the production method by changing the existing labor-intensive method of laying thousands or tens of thousands of optical fibers into a labor-saving system capable of mass production, which involves the use of a large external multi-porous mold.

Results and Conclusion:
The application of plastic based bar against optical fiber showed that the light transmitting ability was almost equal as well as the convenience of making light transmitting concrete. Additionally, the difficulties coming from heavy weight of trial product for material preparation, transportation, and processing process were tried to solve by applying lightweight aggregate and light foaming agent while maintaining minimum compressive strength.

Authors: Paskalathis Victor , SN Azhari 
Published: August 2017

Common practice in crowdsourced delivery services is through direct delivery. That is by dispatching direct trip to a driver nearby the origin location. The total distance can be reduced through multiple pickup and delivery by increasing the number of requests in a trip.The research implements exact algorithm to solve the consolidation problem with up to 3 requests in a trip. Greedy heuristic is performed to construct initial route based on highest savings. The result is then optimized using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Four scenarios are compared. A direct delivery scenarios and three multiple pickup and delivery scenarios. These include 2-consolidated delivery, 3-consolidated delivery, and 3-consolidated delivery optimized with ACO. Four parameters are used to evaluate using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). These include the number of trips, total distance, total duration, and security concerns.The case study is based on Yogyakarta area for a whole day. The final route optimized with ACO shows 178 requests can be completed in 94 trips. Compared to direct delivery, consolidation can provides savings up to 20% in distance and 14% in duration. The evaluation result using AHP shows that ACO scenario is the best scenario.

Published: August 2017

Phalaenopsis “Sogo Vivien” is an orchid hybrid with mini size plant body, and exhibits numerous beautiful pink flowers, that is ideal as ornamental pot plant. Some plants of this orchid exhibit variegated leaves that improve the beauty of the plant, not only because of the flower but also as attracted leaves. This orchid has high economical value, but mass propagation of this orchid has not established yet. An effective method to propagate both the normal and variegated plants is worth to be generated. The objective of this research was to produce a large number of P. “Sogo Vivien” plants, including the variegated plants. The method used seeds from self pollinating variegated plant, and flower stalk nodes. The seeds were sown on three various medium: VW, NP and MS, and flower stalk nodes were planted on VW + BA 10 mg l-1 + active carbon. The results showed that the best medium for in vitro culture of P. “Sogo Vivien” was NP medium, in which all seeds could grew into plantlets. Most plantlets emerged from the seeds were non variegated, only one plantlet out of 1344 seeds was variegated (0.007%). Although all emerged plantlets from flower stalk exhibited variegated leaves. Particularly, the plantlets arised from the second and third basal nodes of flower stalk showed the highest growth rate than that from the other nodes. Histological analysis showed that at 11-13 days after shoot segment plantation on NP medium, the shape of apical cells in the nodes was changed, then followed by the change of cell shape in the basal part of the nodes, produced bipolar pattern, then gradually developed into shoot. These results suggest that mass propagation could be achieved using seed culture, but to get the variegated phenotypes, the second and third nodes of flower stalk from variegated plant were the best explants to be used.

Authors: Suroso Hadi , Penangsang Ontoseno 
Published: August 2017

Optimization in the operation of electric power system is an important task for both in land and onboard. The objective is to minimize operating cost index. Taking advantage of the scheme that onboard operator has the authority not only in the supply side but also in the demand side, an optimization approach toward onboard energy management systems based on integrated model for supply and demand side is being developed. The model utilizes unit commitment and economic dispatch in the supply side and load management based on multiple attribute decision-making in the demand side. As a part of the whole concept, this paper focuses on the modeling and simulation of demand side. A user friendly demand side model consisting of Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatch is developed by using LabVIEW, Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench. Data taken from 3 units of Steam Power Plant are simulated. It is then eventually confirmed that 9% total cost saving can be achieved in the selected load demand range
