TPF Sequential Therapy: When and for Whom?
Authors: Budach Volker 
Published: October 2010

Abstract
Concurrent chemoradiation is a standard approach for the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, sequentially administered chemotherapy and radiotherapy/chemoradiation may be an effective alternative for some patients. Although chemoradiation is a highly effective treatment approach, it is associated with high incidences of severe acute toxicities, including mucositis. In addition, late toxicities can cause long-term morbidity in a substantial proportion of patients. In a retrospective analysis of three Radiation Therapy Oncology Group trials, pharyngeal dysfunction was seen in 27% of patients and feeding tube dependence and laryngeal dysfunction were each seen in approximately 12% of patients. Sequential administration of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with a doublet cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (PF) induction chemotherapy regimen, is associated with less acute severe mucositis than concomitantly administered cisplatin and radiotherapy. The addition of the taxane docetaxel to PF has resulted in the highly active triplet induction regimen TPF. Data from randomized trials indicate that TPF sequential therapy may be an effective alternative to concurrent chemoradiation for some patients. TPF is well tolerated, although it is associated with a higher incidence of hematologic adverse events than with PF, including neutropenia and neutropenia-related complications. This may be managed by the use of prophylactic G-CSF and/or antibiotics. Patients suitable for treatment with a TPF-based sequential administration approach include those with a good performance status, no contraindication to cisplatin or taxanes, and locally advanced oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, or laryngeal cancer with a high tumor load.
Larynx Preservation Clinical Trial Design: Summary of Key Recommendations of a Consensus Panel
Authors: Ang K. Kian 
Published: October 2010

Abstract
An international consensus panel was convened to develop guidelines for the conduct of phase III clinical trials of larynx preservation in patients with locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. According to their recommendations, future trial populations should include patients with T2 or T3 laryngeal or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma not considered for partial laryngectomy and should exclude those with laryngeal dysfunction or aged &gt;70 years. Baseline and post-treatment functional assessments should include speech and swallowing evaluations. Furthermore, voice should be routinely assessed with a simple, validated instrument. Regarding endpoints, the primary endpoint should capture survival and function. As a result, the panel created a new endpoint of laryngoesophageal dysfunction (LED)-free survival, which includes the events of death, local relapse, total or partial laryngectomy, tracheotomy at ≥2 years, or feeding tube at ≥2 years. Recommended secondary endpoints are freedom from LED, overall survival, progression-free survival, locoregional control, time to tracheotomy, time to laryngectomy, time to discontinuation of feeding tube, and quality of life/patient-reported outcomes. Future exploratory correlative biomarker studies should include epidermal growth factor receptor, excision repair cross-complementation group 1 gene, E-cadherin and β-catenin, epiregulin and amphiregulin, and TP53 mutation.
Revised trial designs in several key areas are needed to advance the study of larynx preservation. With consistent methodologies, clinical trials can more effectively evaluate and quantify the therapeutic benefit of novel treatment options for patients with locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer.
Mapped quadrats in sagebrush steppe: long‐term data for analyzing demographic rates and plant–plant interactions
Authors: Zachmann Luke , Moffet Corey , Adler Peter 
Published: October 2010

This historical data set consists of 26 permanent 1‐m2 quadrats located on sagebrush steppe in eastern Idaho, USA. During most growing seasons from 1923 to 1957, and again in 1973, all individual plants in each quadrat were identified and mapped. This combination of a long time‐series with full spatial resolution allows analyses of demographic processes and intra‐ and interspecific interactions among individual plants. The data provide unique opportunities to test theory about the effect of environmental variation on population and community dynamics and to describe empirical relationships between climate variables and demographic rates. We provide the following data and data formats: (1) the digitized maps in shapefile format; (2) a tabular version of the entire data set (a table with no spatial information except an x,y coordinate for each individual plant record); (3) a species list, containing information on plant growth forms and shapefile geometry type; (4) a record of changes to species names; (5) quadrat information; (6) grazing treatment information; (7) an inventory of the years each quadrat was sampled; (8) monthly precipitation, temperature, and snowfall records; and (9) counts of annuals in the quadrats.The complete data sets corresponding to abstracts published in the Data Papers section of the journal are published electronically in Ecological Archives at 〈http://esapubs.org/archive〉.

Drilling Automation: Technologies, Terminology, and Parallels With Other Industries
Authors: Thorogood John , Aldred Walt , Florence Fred , Iversen Fionn 
Published: October 2010

Summary
Drilling automation is a rapidly developing area of technology that is seeing growing interest within the drilling community. SPE set up a new technical section devoted to the subject as it relates to downhole performance, and the IADC has created a committee with a focus on surface processes.
As with any emerging technology, the associated jargon is evolving rapidly, and different terms are used by different groups to refer to similar concepts with the potential for confusion and misunderstanding. Automation efforts are being undertaken by numerous and diverse organizations, and implementation of such interrelated offerings at the rigsite needs consistent interface criteria at each boundary to ensure efficient and safe operations.
The purpose of the proposed paper is to describe some of the concepts already in operation and under development and to classify them into a number of key categories.
The more significant interface requirements will be identified, and key safety concerns will be highlighted. Parallels will be drawn with other industries to demonstrate analogs and suggest where and how further developments might be expected to lead.
A Study of the Effects of Colloidal Gas Aphron Composition on Pore Blocking
Authors: Bjorndalen N.. , Alvarez J.M.. M. , Jossy W.E.. E. , Kuru E.. 
Published: October 2010

Summary
Drilling fluid containing colloidal gas aphron (CGA) microbubbles can bridge the pores of the reservoir rock in the near-wellbore region and reduce the risks of lost circulation and formation damage. The advantage of using CGA systems is that the CGAs can be removed easily during the initial stages of production, thereby reducing the costs associated with stimulation processes such as acidizing.
Although there has been some work performed on the flow of the microbubbles through porous media, little is known about the optimal conditions for blocking the pores. Specifically, the effect of the interaction between microbubbles and reservoir fluid on the microbubble stability and pore-blocking ability has not been determined.
This study is focused on determining effects of CGA composition on the resistance to the flow of microbubbles through porous media. Increasing resistance to fluid flow was observed as more CGA fluid was injected, indicating that microbubbles could effectively block the pores.
Effects of water, brine, mineral oil, and crude oil, as saturating fluids, on the microbubble stability and pore-blocking ability were also investigated.
Net Pay — What Is It? What Does It Do? How Do We Quantify It? How Do We Use It?
Authors: Worthington Paul F. 
Published: October 2010

Summary
A knowledge of net pay is important for the volumetric estimation of hydrocarbon resources, a practice that underpins the value of the petroleum industry. Yet, there is no universal definition of net pay, there is no general acceptance of its role in integrated reservoir studies, there is no recognized method for evaluating it, and there are disparate views on how to make use of it. Partly for these reasons, net-to-gross pay constitutes a major source of uncertainty in volumetric reserves estimates, second only to gross rock volume. With the aim of improving this unsatisfactory state of affairs, I chart a critical path of net-pay understanding and application to dispel some of the unhelpful myths that abound within the industry and replace them with a defensible rationale to guide the quantification of net pay (thickness). Central to this process is the identification of net-pay cutoffs, themselves the subject of much controversy over the years. The approach is data-driven, in that it uses what we know, and also fit-for-purpose, in that it takes account of reservoir conditions. The outcome is a sounder basis for incorporating net pay into volumetric estimates of ultimate recovery and thence hydrocarbon resources.
Quantifying Monte Carlo Uncertainty in the Ensemble Kalman Filter
Authors: Thulin Kristian , Nævdal Geir , Skaug Hans Julius , Aanonsen Sigurd Ivar 
Published: October 2010

Summary
The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is currently considered one of the most promising methods for conditioning reservoir-simulation models to production data. The EnKF is a sequential Monte Carlo method based on a low-rank approximation of the system covariance matrix. The posterior probability distribution of model variables may be estimated from the updated ensemble, but, because of the low-rank covariance approximation, the updated ensemble members become correlated samples from the posterior distribution. We suggest using multiple EnKF runs, each with a smaller ensemble size, to obtain truly independent samples from the posterior distribution. This allows a pointwise confidence interval to be constructed for the posterior cumulative distribution function (CDF). We investigate the methodology for finding an optimal combination of ensemble batch size n and number of EnKF runs m while keeping the total number of ensemble members n×m constant. The optimal combination of n and m is found through minimizing the integrated mean-square error (MSE) for the CDFs. We illustrate the approach on two models, first a small linear model and then a synthetic 2D model inspired by petroleum applications. In the latter case, we choose to define an EnKF run with 10,000 ensemble members as having zero Monte Carlo error. The proposed methodology should be applicable also to larger, more-realistic models.
A Comprehensive Modeling Analysis of Borehole Stability and Production-Liner Deformation for Inclined/Horizontal Wells Completed in a Highly Compacting Chalk Formation
Authors: Furui K.. , Fuh G.-F.. -F. , Abdelmalek N.. , Morita N.. 
Published: October 2010

Summary
Numerous casing and production-liner deformation/failure problems have been reported in high-porosity chalk formations in both the overburden and the reservoir sections, causing costly operation problems that prevent workovers and recompletions. This paper presents the results of studies performed to investigate stability of an openhole, cemented liner and uncemented-liner completions in a highly compacting chalk formation. The effects of critical cavity dimensions caused by various acid-stimulation techniques were also investigated.
On the basis of the review of historical caliper-survey data, we ascertain that axial-compression collapse is a major liner-deformation mechanism in the reservoir zones. Axial-compression collapse has been found in both low-angle wells (also in buildup sections of horizontal wells) and horizontal laterals. The casing deformation in low-angle sections is a result of reservoir compaction (i.e., change in the vertical formation strain), while the deformation in horizontal sections is primarily induced by increased axial loading because of cavity deformation. The current completion practice using cluster perforations and high-volume acid treatments causes vertically enlarged cavities, resulting in poor radial constraint.
A series of laboratory triaxial tests was performed on selected reservoir chalk samples to measure the stress/strain and failure behavior of the chalk formation considering a wide range of porosity and water saturation and different levels of confining pressures. Using the chalk-failure criteria and constitutive relations developed from the analysis of laboratory triaxial-compression-test data, a 3D nonlinear poroelastic/plastic finite-element-method (FEM) model was developed for the openhole stability analysis. The simulation results show that the abnormally high ductility of chalks after pore collapse around a borehole could actually enhance borehole stability, with a magnitude beyond expectation.
In this study, analytical and numerical models are also developed for evaluating cavity-induced axial-compression collapse of production liners. Model results indicate that the risk of the cavity-induced axial-compression collapse substantially increases for short perforated intervals stimulated with large acid treatments. However, increasing the perforation-interval lengths along the entire liner axis results in more-uniform acid distribution and will greatly reduce the chance of axial-compression collapse caused by localized cavity deformation. On the basis of these analysis results, key completion design criteria and stimulation strategies were developed for wells completed in highly compacting chalk reservoirs to reduce risk of casing and liner mechanical problems.
Integrated Surveillance Enhancing Quality of Decisions and Reservoir Description in the Harding Field
Authors: Zett Adrian , Webster Mike , Davies Chris , Zhang Pinggang , Mukerji Parijat 
Published: October 2010

Summary
A key factor in managing mature fields is to establish adequate surveillance in each phase of their life. The complexity increases when the field is developed with horizontal wells. Differences in data quality and resolution should be taken into consideration when planning such surveillance. Current uncertainties in Harding field relate to unreliable well conformance data using conventional production logs (PL) and assumptions in the reservoir description, which are subseismic resolution. We describe the learning from a horizontal well in Harding, where appropriate surveillance enhanced reservoir understanding and quality of decision making.
Based on the initial understanding from the reservoir model, an insert string well work option was proposed to reduce water cut. Historically in this field, conventional PLs provided unreliable well conformance data in horizontal multiphase flow. To improve the characterization at the well scale, an array PL was deployed for the first time on this field.
The flowing results revealed that the insert string solution was inappropriate and would result in lost oil production. The shut-in data identified crossflow between two zones separated by a shale section. In the initial model, this shale was mapped only at local level. Post surveillance, it was remapped on seismic as an extensive baffle having an impact on an area with more mobile oil to recover. There is a potential upside with a new infill target being identified toward the toe of this well.
Most of the initial decisions about the insert string were based on seismic and modeling work. The new array PL data brought additional information into the model, increasing confidence in the results. Data resolution at the well level matters and this highlights the need to take more PL measurements to calibrate the seismic response and improve the reservoir model.
The Equations Archie Forgot: Anisotropy of the Rocks
Authors: Haro Carlos F. 
Published: October 2010

Summary
Archie's empirical equation is used extensively to estimate hydrocarbons in place. This power-laws combination has stood the test of time with few changes. However, it is still poorly understood and considered an ad hoc relation. Our original analysis will prove these laws rigorously, show how they must be amended, and introduce additional accompanying equations. This comprehensive model, which represents the electrical flow through the intricate conductive paths of the rock, is confirmed with Archie's and Hamada's core data sets. It corrects for Archie's inaccuracies.
A thorough appreciation of the pore-scale physics behind the modified version of Archie's equation is presented. The principles can be applied in clean and complex formations (shaly sands, thin beds, and vuggy or fractured carbonates) to obtain enhanced values of water saturation. The theory sheds light on the role and quantification of anisotropy.
Solving for the elaborate pore geometry, we use the Laplace differential equation (not Ohm's law), appropriate in the analysis of electrostatic fields in charge-free regions. Rock morphology dictates its boundary conditions (Jin 2007; Ghous 2005), characterized as corner angles. The corresponding particular solution (flow around a corner) and modeling tactic delineate the streamlines throughout the pores. The angles establish strong mathematical links among the exponents of Archie's equation, the geometry of the rock frame, and the spatial fluid distribution. This quantitative method is lacking in previous saturation models.
The solution constitutes the basis to solve more-complicated rock layouts. It enables the calculation of equivalent resistivities (normalized resistances) to take advantage of well-established electrical relationships. The extra equations compute the variable exponents and coefficients of Archie's equation at every depth. They obtain the saturation exponent in clean rocks as a function of water saturation, crucial to the quality control of core electrical data and to the quantification of reservoirs under changing saturation (waterflooding). Therefore, improved calculations of original and remaining hydrocarbons are achieved.
Determining Trapped Gas in Foam From Computed-Tomography Images
Authors: Kil R.A.. A. , Nguyen Q.P.. P. , Rossen W.R.. R. 
Published: October 2010

Summary
Gas trapping by foam is a key mechanism of foam mobility and foam effectiveness in applications such as acid diversion in well stimulation, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and aquifer remediation. Previous studies have attempted to quantify the extent of gas trapping by injecting a tracer gas within the foam and then fitting the effluent profile to a 1D capacitance model. In this model, at any given axial position along the core, all flowing gas and all trapped gas are each characterized by a single tracer concentration. Computed-tomography (CT) images of experiments using xenon (Xe) tracer show that this characterization is not accurate: Trapped gas near flowing gas comes rapidly to equilibrium with flowing gas long before tracer diffuses into trapped gas farther away.
We introduce a method that uses the CT images directly to estimate flowing-gas fraction. In the CT images, tracer advances in many small channels and diffuses outward into surrounding regions of trapped gas a few millimeters in diameter. The difference between the higher tracer concentration at the center of these channels and the lower concentration at the edge can be related to the diffusion coefficient of the tracer and the flowing-gas fraction within the channel. For the CT images of Xe tracer in one experiment, this method gives flowing-gas fractions one or two orders of magnitude smaller than what is estimated using the 1D capacitance model. The model can be used to estimate flowing-gas fraction in different regions of a core in spite of different average gas velocities in the different regions.
