Real Time Well Testing: A Game Changer – Experience and Lessons Learned Over 100 Well Tests Performed In the North Sea
Authors: Hollaender F.. , Shumakov Y.. , Sarac S.. , Theuveny B.. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Obtaining accurate and representative well testing information is critical for the proper characterization of a reservoir, with confidence and quality of data being of paramount importance during a well test. Over the last few years, well testing has become real-time enabled, following in the footsteps of drilling, wireline logging and production operations. However, making a better well test is not just about enabling the technology. It is also about ensuring that the right people have access to the right data and that adequate decision-making processes are available. This requires that reservoir engineers are trained in operational aspects, rig crew are able to communicate and implement remotely taken decisions, and the “end-users” of the well test are fully engaged in the real time monitoring, analysis and execution processes.
The real-time well testing approach presented in this paper is the result of the evolution from basic real-time data transmission to a reliable real-time data delivery and analysis infrastructure that has taken place over the last five years. Throughout the 100 real-time well tests completed in the North Sea, the workflows used to process and analyze the data have evolved significantly, enabling the processed information to be leveraged for decision-making and to update test programs. Recently developed downhole tools and components controlled remotely via a wireless acoustic telemetry system, and providing real-time access to downhole pressure data, have enhanced and broadened the applicable workflows and capabilities.
This paper also presents the evolution of remote connectivity systems and the exploitation of their technical capabilities to their full potential so that off-site experts can witness, collaborate and support operations on a 24/7 basis. By these means, the right expertise can be utilized regardless of location. In addition, we present several case studies where real time data delivery, remote monitoring and support were crucial for continuous quality assurance and for successful pressure transient analysis which led to better reservoir characterization. The change in the mindset of management in both operating companies and service suppliers is essential to ensure that the power of real-time enabled well testing is fully leveraged.

Published: September 2015

Abstract
Collaborative Working Environment (CWE) is an enhanced operation integration concept through the use of seamless connection of hardware and software tools, defined business processes, people and tele-presence facility. Additionally Collaborative Working Environment is any form (physical or virtual) in which teams can come together to discuss, in a bid to reach a common decision. It is expected, the solutions from this implementation will provide a common data-set for faster decision making through collaboration between functions or teams regardless of location.
The went operational in Shell Nigeria Offshore assets Operations Collaboration Centre took place in December 2014 and this paper aims to describe the benefits in the project implementation and process embedment. The discussion will equally highlight the change brought about in Bonga asset operation integration following the delivery of the collaborative working environment in the offshore asset with Bonga field being the first deepwater field sub-Sahara Africa. Key indicators in observed benefits include; impact on safety, team-integration, speed in quality decision making and significant reduction in cost related to field logistics. In extension, overall impact on the business objective and work culture has been reviewed. It has been established that with this project implementation exceptional benefit has been achieved in team collaboration and quality decision making.
It is acknowledged that this way of working has delivered short term benefits but the objective is to sustain and improve on the day-to-day operational benefits. The recommendations from this paper could assist in similar project implementation and embedment efforts elsewhere in the oil and gas industry.

Published: September 2015

Premise of the study:Fifty candidate microsatellite markers, generated using 454 shotgun sequencing, were tested for the widespread arctic/alpine herb Silene acaulis (Caryophyllaceae).Methods and Results:Fourteen out of 50 markers resulted in polymorphic products with profiles that enabled interpretation. The numbers of alleles per locus ranged from two to six, and the expected heterozygosity per locus ranged from 0.06 to 0.68. Analysis of F0 and F1 samples proved that one allele was always inherited maternally. Four multiplex mixes have been developed.Conclusions:Microsatellite markers for this species will be a valuable tool to study detailed small‐scale genetic patterns in an arctic/alpine herb and to relate them to demographic parameters.
Insistance et hospitalité : Marthe et Marie dans un monde postmoderne
Authors: Caputo John D. 
Published: September 2015

Dans ce troisième chapitre de l’ouvrage « L’insistance de Dieu », John D. Caputo définit l’hospitalité comme la possibilité de répondre « viens » à l’appel de l’autre. Un autre non pas identique mais tout autre , un autre qui est l’hostis , l’étranger dont l’hostilité est aussi à envisager. Ainsi, avec Derrida, l’hospitalité peut devenir « l’hostipitalité ». La structure même de l’insistance de Dieu est justement cette incapacité dans laquelle elle nous met d’être dans la certitude. Cette incapacité n’est pas un échec, mais au contraire le pouvoir de supporter l’incertitude. Variations sur la « possibilité de l’impossible », cette autre façon de dire Dieu, ainsi peut se lire cette réflexion de Caputo sur l’hospitalité dont la relecture/déconstruction de Luc 10,38-42 constitue l’un des fils rouges.

Published: September 2015

Background:
A hospital in Taiwan implemented a framework of caring in clinical practice. After the pilot study, the current study was conducted to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

Method:

One hundred four nurses from two hospitals were recruited for the intervention (
n
= 50) and comparison (
n
= 54) groups in a mixed-method, quasi-experimental pre- and postintervention design. Audiovisual materials based on the authentic caring and uncaring experiences of nurses and patients were created as the curriculum content. Role modeling and reflective practice were used as learning strategies. Both groups of nurses and patients completed a pre- and postintervention evaluation of nurse caring behaviors, using the SHARE (

Published: September 2015

PURPOSE:
To compare postoperative corneal nerve fiber regeneration after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK).

METHODS:
The medical records of patients who underwent SMILE were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with SMILE in one eye (the SMILE group) and FS-LASIK in the fellow eye (the FS-LASIK group) and who had undergone a confocal microscopy study were retrospectively identified. Subbasal nerve fiber density was measured and compared between the groups preoperatively and at 1 week and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

RESULTS:

Thirty eyes of 15 patients were included in the study. Preoperative characteristics of the eyes were similar between the groups. However, there was a statistically significant difference in subbasal nerve fiber density between the groups at 1 month (SMILE group: 1,505 ± 627

Coupling of Gaussian Beam and Finite Difference Solvers for Semiclassical Schrödinger Equations
Authors: Kieri Emil , Kreiss Gunilla , Runborg Olof 
Published: September 2015

AbstractIn the semiclassical regime, solutions to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for molecular dynamics are highly oscillatory. The number of grid points required for resolving the oscillations may become very large even for simple model problems, making solution on a grid intractable. Asymptotic methods like Gaussian beams can resolve the oscillations with little effort and yield good approximations when the atomic nuclei are heavy and the potential is smooth. However, when the potential has variations on a small length-scale, quantum phenomena become important. Then asymptotic methods are less accurate. The two classes of methods perform well in different parameter regimes. This opens for hybrid methods, using Gaussian beams where we can and finite differences where we have to. We propose a new method for treating the coupling between the finite difference method and Gaussian beams. The new method reduces the needed amount of overlap regions considerably compared to previous methods, which improves the efficiency.
Note on the Stability of a Slowly Rotating Timoshenko Beam with Damping
Authors: Woźniak J. , Firkowski M. 
Published: September 2015

AbstractThis paper continues the senior author’s previous investigation of the slowly rotating Timoshenko beam in a horizontal plane whose movement is controlled by the angular acceleration of the disk of the driving motor into which the beam is rigidly clamped. It was shown before that this system preserves the total energy. We consider the problem of stability of the system after introducing a particular type of damping. We show that the energy of only part of the system vanishes. We illustrate obtained solution with the critical case of the infinite value of the damping coefficient.
Implicit DG Method for Time Domain Maxwell’s Equations Involving Metamaterials
Authors: Wang Jiangxing , Xie Ziqing , Chen Chuanmiao 
Published: September 2015

AbstractAn implicit discontinuous Galerkin method is introduced to solve the time-domain Maxwell’s equations in metamaterials. The Maxwell’s equations in metamaterials are represented by integral-differential equations. Our scheme is based on discontinuous Galerkin method in spatial domain and Crank-Nicolson method in temporal domain. The fully discrete numerical scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable. When polynomial of degree at most p is used for spatial approximation, our scheme is verified to converge at a rate of O(τ2+hp+1/2). Numerical results in both 2D and 3D are provided to validate our theoretical prediction.

ABSTRACTObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the objective and subjective effectiveness of multilevel surgery, i.e. combined lingualplasty with new technique of partial posterior glossectomy (PPG) and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.Study design and settingRetrospective study of 60 OSA patients undergoing multilevel surgery for the treatment of moderate to severe OSA.ResultsPreoperative mean apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was 57.5 events/h and preoperative mean lowest SpO2 was 79.1%. After multilevel surgery, postoperative mean AHI significantly decreased to 29.7 events/h (p < 0.001) and postoperative mean lowest SpO2 increased to 84.4% (p < 0.001). Patients had postoperative followup assessments for 1 to 3 years. Results of surgery was classified as curative in 35/60 (58.3%) of patients, and as effective, i.e. postoperative AHI less than preoperative AHI in 52/60 patients (86.7 %). Surgery was ineffective in 8/60 (13.3%) patients. Early postoperative complications comprised early velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) 20% (12/60), dysarthria 20% (12/60) and wound dehiscence 3.33% (2/60) but without serious complications after 1 year.ConclusionCombined lingualplasty (with new PPG) and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) as multilevel surgery can be an effective treatment of choice for patients with moderate to severe OSA.

Management of Extensive Blowout Fracture of Combined Orbital Floor and Medial Wall: A Challenge in Reconstruction
Authors: Shah Pratik Dipak , Mukherjee Srijon 
Published: September 2015

ABSTRACTOrbital blowout fractures are common sequelae of blunt trauma to periocular region. Combined orbital floor and medial wall fractures are more complicated than either alone, because there may not be adequate peripheral bony support for standard implants. The transition zone between orbital floor and medial wall is difficult to visualize intraoperatively and makes even more difficult to visualize in dissection further posteriorly. In our case, patient sustained orbital blowout fracture with herniation of periorbital tissue in maxillary sinus as well as ethmoidal sinus. After undergoing successful orbital reconstruction surgery, eyeball was repositioned to its original position. There was no enophthalmos and patient had no restriction in eye movement and perception to light was similar in both the eyes. Pupillary reflex to light was brisk and similar in both the eyes.How to cite this articleShah PD, Mukherjee S.

Published: September 2015

ABSTRACTEpidermoid cyst occurring within the tongue is rare. A 5-year- old male child was brought to outpatient department (OPD) with a tongue mass which was gradually increasing in size. There was associated difficulty in speech and mastication as the swelling increased in size. Intraoral examination revealed moderately tender, fluctuant and enlarged tongue. A diagnosis of dermoid cyst was made and the patient was booked for surgery. Excision of the cyst was done under general anesthesia. Postoperative histopathology was done. The histopathological findings confirm the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst, characterized by the presence of: (i) a cyst cavity lined by stratified squamous epithelium with keratinization on the surface; and (ii) connective tissue with a mild inflammation. The proposed treatment was considered successful as the case was solved and there was no recurrence.How to cite this articleNaik C, Prusty N. Epidermoid Cyst of Tongue: A Case Presentation.

ABSTRACTBilateral choanal atresia is an uncommon congenital malfor mation and its association with duodenal atresia and lagophthalmos is very rare. It is a lifethreatening condition where immediate intervention is always needed. A systemic examination is required to find its association with other anomalies. Though different approaches for its treatment are described endoscopic transnasal approach is the most acceptable less traumatic approach till date. We are having a case report of a premature baby with choanal and duodenal atresia with lagophthalmos and was managed successfully with endoscopic transnasal approach.How to cite this articleGupta S, Pradhan S.

Diagnosis and Management of Piriformis Syndrome: An Osteopathic Approach
Authors: Boyajian-O’Neill Lori A. , McClain Rance L. , Coleman Michele K. , Thomas Pamela P. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular condition characterized by hip and buttock pain. This syndrome is often overlooked in clinical settings because its presentation may be similar to that of lumbar radiculopathy, primary sacral dysfunction, or innominate dysfunction. The ability to recognize piriformis syndrome requires an understanding of the structure and function of the piriformis muscle and its relationship to the sciatic nerve. The authors review the anatomic and clinical features of this condition, summarizing the osteopathic medical approach to diagnosis and management. A holistic approach to diagnosis requires a thorough neurologic history and physical assessment of the patient based on the pathologic characteristics of piriformis syndrome. The authors note that several nonpharmacologic therapies, including osteopathic manipulative treatment, can be used alone or in conjunction with pharmacotherapeutic options in the management of piriformis syndrome.
Common Dermatologic Infections in Athletes and Return-to-Play Guidelines
Authors: Likness Lincoln P. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Although the usual perspective on return to play for athletes is recovery from injury, an unheralded aspect on return to play involves potentially contagious skin infections. An estimated 8.5% of health conditions and injuries related to high school sports and 21% of health conditions and injuries related to college sports involve infectious diseases of the skin. In about half of these cases, the head, face, or neck is affected. The infectious agents are common microorganisms, including methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus and Streptococcus bacteria, herpes viruses, and tinea fungi. The challenge for physicians is to provide proper treatment to patients within the return-to-play guidelines of a sport's governing body, resulting in rapid resolution of the condition, minimization of time spent out of the sport, and minimization of communicable spread of the disease.
