Treatment of Localized Aggressive Periodontitis With Guided Tissue Regeneration Technique and Enamel Matrix Derivative
Authors: Momen‐Heravi Fatemeh , Kang Philip 
Published: May 2017

Introduction: Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is a form of periodontitis characterized by rapid attachment loss in otherwise healthy individuals. Although different treatment options have been explored for management of the disease, control of disease progression and subsequent regeneration of the attachment apparatus are considered the ideal treatment objectives. Limited evidence is available with respect to the efficacy of different regenerative materials in the treatment of AgP.Case Presentation: The present case report describes periodontal regeneration techniques and 6‐month outcomes in bilateral intrabony non‐contained defects around mandibular first molars in a 21‐year‐old patient diagnosed with localized AgP (LAgP). Periodontal lesions were treated with regenerative therapy with enamel matrix derivative (EMD) and allograft on the right side and allograft with bioabsorbable collagen membrane without EMD on the left side. Treatment yielded favorable clinical outcomes in terms of probing depth reduction, clinical attachment level gain, minimal gingival inflammation, and radiographic bone fill. Radiographic bone fill was observed after 6 months, suggesting possible periodontal regeneration.Conclusion: Both regeneration techniques used in this clinical report (guided tissue regeneration involving allograft and bioabsorbable membrane versus EMD combined with allograft without a barrier membrane) resulted in favorable outcomes in the treatment of deep (≥7 mm) non‐contained intrabony defects in LAgP.

Multi-seasonal effects of warming and elevated CO<sub>2</sub> on the physiology, growth and production of mature, field grown, Shiraz grapevines

Published: May 2017

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstract:</strong> Industry concerns in Australia about the impacts of climate change have, to date, focused on the effects of warming, particularly shorter maturation periods. The effects of elevated CO<sub>2</sub> concentration (eCO<sub>2</sub>) on C<sub>3</sub> plant physiology have been extensively studied and suggest that eCO<sub>2 </sub>impacts on viticulture could affect grapevine shoot growth, fruit production and fruit composition. We previously used open top chambers (OTC) with an active heating system to study the effects of elevated air temperature (eTemp) on mature grapevines in the field. This system was augmented with the ability to elevate atmospheric CO<sub>2 </sub>and established in a mature Shiraz vineyard in a factorial combination of eTemp and eCO<sub>2</sub>. Three seasons of observations on the eTemp only treatment corroborated our previous study; all aspects of phenology were advanced, but leaf function was largely unaffected. In contrast, the effects of eCO<sub>2</sub> on phenology were small in the first season, but increased over the subsequent two seasons. Interactive effects of the treatments on gas exchange were observed; photosynthesis rates were significantly higher in the eCO<sub>2</sub>+eTemp treatment, compared to eCO<sub>2</sub> alone, suggesting that the likely future climate will have a larger impact on viticulture than might be predicted from experiments examining only one of these factors.</p>
Kinetic of an In Situ Combustion Process in a Colombian Heavy Oil Using the Isoconversional Principle
Authors: Padilla J. , Muñoz S. F. , Trujillo M. L. , Rodríguez E. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
An efficient way to increase oil production in heavy oil reservoirs is by the In Situ Combustion (ISC) process implementation. Part of the oil in place is oxidized, generating heat that increases mobility by reducing oil viscosity. The increase in oil production is associated with displacement mechanisms such as flue gas flooding, steam drive, viscosity reduction by oil swelling and temperature increase, among others. However, not all reservoirs are suitable for an ISC process. Therefore, prior to the implementation of an ISC project, the reservoir properties and reactive characteristics of oil should be evaluated.
The isoconversional principle is a technique to obtain information about oil oxidation characteristics, using the kinetic of the oil oxidation/combustion reactions. The isoconversional methods obtain the kinetic from different Ramped Temperature Oxidation (RTO) tests, usually three to five; this technique provides direct information of the effective activation energy. In addition, the technique can be used as a screening tool to identify good candidates to an ISC process and allow recognition of the number of dominant reactions to model the process in numerical simulators.
This paper presents the results obtained after applying the isoconversional principle in a Colombian heavy oil. Furthermore, a reaction scheme to model the process in a commercial numerical simulator is proposed. The reaction scheme was validated by matching the experimental results in a numerical thermal simulator.
Using Hybrid Propulsion Autonomous Marine Vehicles to Better Characterize Geomagnetic Fields Offshore
Authors: Poedjono B. H. , Pai S. , Maus S. , Paynter R. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
We present a study conducted to develop and validate new capabilities for offshore geomagnetic surveying that employs the autonomous marine vehicle (AMV) to map the crustal magnetic field and monitor disturbance fields surrounding offshore drill sites. Knowledge of geomagnetic field direction and strength in the wellbore are essential parameters needed for directional drilling. To compute wellbore azimuth, the directional driller compares the magnetic field measurement provided by the measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool with the geomagnetic field reference data to position the wellbore in real time while drilling. Correction for variations in the disturbance field is essential for accurate mapping of the crustal geomagnetic field. Unfortunately, land-based stations are not ideal for mapping the disturbance field in the offshore because of the distance of the station from the measurement site and the different electrical conductivity of the subsurface. To address the need for improved measurement of the disturbance field in offshore surveys, this study also investigated whether the new-generation, hybrid, wave- and electric-thruster powered AMV is suitable for use as a "base station" to monitor time variations of the geomagnetic disturbance field.
To conduct the study, we equipped two hybrid AMVs with towed marine magnetometers. Highly sensitive sensors established the minimum required separation between the AMV's electric thruster and the magnetic sensor payload. For validation as a base station, data collected by the vehicles from May 11 to May 14, 2015, was analyzed and compared with data obtained from the USGS Honolulu Geomagnetic Observatory (HON). To then evaluate the survey measurement system offshore, we compared data from a previous 2013 wave-powered AMV geomagnetic survey (Poedjono et al., 2015) with repeat data of the main, tie, and perimeter lines newly collected by the AMVs in this 2015 study.
Our results show that the AMV is ideally suited to carry out geomagnetic surveys in offshore remote locations, and a second AMV circulating at a fixed location provides a more accurate base station than a land-based station.
The hybrid AMV offers distinct advantages for geomagnetic data collection in offshore environments. The low cost compared to a seaborne or airborne vehicle allows AMVs to be deployed in tandem and collect data repeatedly over predefined areas, yielding accurate measurements to determine the disturbance and crustal magnetic fields. Use of the AMV solves the long-standing problem of how to accurately map the previously unknown geomagnetic reference field in offshore locations.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to introduce the Uruguayan Petroleum Fiscal Regime and to compare it against worldwide standards, with regards to the most commonly used statistic: Government Take, but also using other important statistics like Effective Royalty Rate, Savings Index, Lifting Entitlement and Progressivity. The ultimate goal is to measure the attractiveness of the Uruguayan oil and gas fiscal regime.
Based on the probabilistic model of a hypothetical oil and gas field development offshore, and Production Sharing Contracts cash flow diagrams, the Government Take, Effective Royalty Rate, Savings Index and Lifting Entitlement were calculated and averaged for all the Production Sharing Contracts in force in Uruguay. In addition, the Progressivity of the Uruguayan fiscal regime for oil and gas was tested, a crucial feature of the fiscal regime design considering the fluctuations in crude oil prices. The calculated mean values were compared with international petroleum contract averages obtained from literature.
Regardless of the fact that third party assessments attribute important volumes of hydrocarbon prospective resources to Uruguayan frontier basins (USGS 2011, 2012), there has never been a discovery in them yet and the geological risk is still significant. The main results of this work are that the terms of the contracts in force result in an average Government Take of approximately 70%, comparable with the Government Take of several hydrocarbons producing countries. Additionally, the calculated average Effective Royalty Rate was 9%, the Entitlement for the IOC averaged 52%, and the Savings Index resulted in 48%, all of them among worldwide standards. The Uruguayan fiscal system proved to be progressive, revealing state-of-the-art fiscal design. The overall conclusion is that the Uruguayan fiscal regime is fair (or could even be regarded as too harsh) considering the geological risk of the country's basins.
This work is useful for petroleum companies interested in assessing the hydrocarbon exploration and production potential of Uruguay, to easily compare the contract economy and its fiscal regime with other destinations. Furthermore, it might provide good insight to authorities to understand the attractiveness of the Uruguayan petroleum fiscal regime for design improvements.
The PVT Properties of the Ecuadorian Crude Oils
Authors: Izurieta A. J. , Iza A. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
As fields become mature and more laboratory data is available from specific geographical locations, it is possible to characterize, classify crude oils and develop or modify published correlations to better predict oil PVT properties. This paper shows the results from the attempt to classify and to provide calibrated correlations for the Ecuadorian crude oils. This study is divided in two sections, the first one makes a brief introduction to the main Ecuadorian oil fields, then the Oriente basin´s geology is described, geographical and statistical variation of crude oil properties is shown by reservoir and geological play. At the end of the first section, different criteria are applied to classify PVT samples showing that most data lie in the range of heavy oil. The second part uses the minimum square method to modify published correlations to provide relationships that helps the reader to better estimate oil properties in the absence laboratory data. Modified correlations as well as statistical results from the comparison of measured and predicted properties are listed at the end of this section.
Oil Mobilization by Viscoelastic Flow Instabilities Effects during Polymer EOR: A Pore-Scale Visualization Approach
Authors: Hincapie R. E. , Rock A. , Wegner J. , Ganzer L. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper investigates the additional oil recovery associated to viscoelastic flow instabilities encountered during polymer flooding. Single and two-phase polymer EOR experiments were conducted in micromodels that resemble porous media. To set a benchmark for non-viscoelastic flooding processes, Polystyrene Oxide (PEO) experiments are presented as well.
The experimental workflow consists of three main steps. First, saturation of the micromodel with a synthetic oil. Second, displacement of synthetic oil by an aqueous PEO solution. Third, displacement of the remaining oil by a viscoelastic polymer solution. For evaluation purposes, viscosity of the polymer and polystyrene oxide solution are approximately matched. Furthermore, tracer particles are attached to the aqueous phase to enable high quality streamline visualization. The streamline data is gathered using a highspeed camera mounted on an epifluorescence microscope.
In this study we demostrate that viscoelastic flow instabilities are highly caused and influenced by polymer properties. It is also shown flow instabilities dependence on pore space geometry and Darcy's velocity. We have observed a dependency of elastic turbulence on mechanical degradation, polymer concentration and solvent salinity. Furthermore, two-phase flood experiments in complex pore-scale geometries have confirmed that elastic flow inconsistency provides a mechanism capable of increasing oil phase mobilization by the viscoelastic aqueous phase. Due to high resolution particle tracing in the micromodels, the main causes of enhanced mobilization can be described as: (1) Moffatt vortices, (2) crossing streamlines, especially near grain surfaces and (3) steadily changing flow directions of streamlines. Thus, by adding viscoelastic additives to injection fluids and considering a sufficient shear rate, even a creeping flow is able to further enhance the displacement process in porous media by its elastic instabilities.
This work provides an adittional understanding of pore-scale polymer displacement processes, namely oil mobilization due to elastic turbulence/flow instabilities. Using the potential of state-of-the-art micromodels enables to conduct high quality streamline visualization which is the key to an improved polymer EOR screening. Thereby enables to understand which properties of viscoelastic solutions contribute to oil recovery. Moreover, this analysis can be used to modify subsequently the fluid characteristics in order to achieve an optimized process application.
Application of Numerical Simulation as an Integrated Methodology for Selecting the Best Candidates for Down Hole Heating. Huyapari Field, Orinoco Oil Belt, Venezuela, as a Case of Study
Authors: Landaeta G. , Lara V. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Exploration and production of heavy and extra heavy oil have always presented challenges that gradually have been overcome by reservoir engineers through the application of new technologies like downhole heating and diluent injection. However, it is recommended to conduct pre-assessment studies of these technologies in order to optimize resources associated with the implementation phase and subsequently with a large scale implementation of these technologies in the field.
One successful example where this pre-assessment study was applied, is the one performed in the Huyapari field located at the Orinoco Oil Belt, currently with more than 600 active horizontal wells where the productivity of the wells could be affected by the frictional pressure losses in the horizontal section. This is the reason why the main objective of this paper is to develop a reliable methodology to conduct a pre assessment study of the downhole heating cable technology by the integration of different methodologies such as analytical and deterministic analysis, operational evaluation, and numerical simulation.
Based on the results of the implementation of a downhole heating cable in the A-P10 well (producing with downhole heating cable since 2005) and the representation of these results by numerical simulation, it was established a procedure that takes into account the characteristics of the reservoir and some operational variables. The response in production of this well due to a slight increase in temperature in the horizontal section was evaluated through numerical simulation. Some other parameters such as changes in viscosity vs temperature, frictional pressure losses in the horizontal section, heating time were also investigated.
This procedure allowed the selection of the most prospective wells to install this technology, among more than 200 horizontal wells in the same reservoir; just 30% of the wells met all the requirements. This selection methodology added value to the well optimization strategy of the field saving considerable resources.
In conclusion, this study helped to represent the performance of the well when it has undergone a stimulation with a downhole heating cable, allowing to quantify the barrels associated with cumulative production and the developed reserves in different scenarios. This result could be of great importance for the Orinoco Oil Belt with its more than 297 MMMBP that represents today the largest accumulation of reserves of heavy and extra heavy oil in the world.
