Authors: Nazari Marzieh , Shabani Ramin , Dalili Setila 
Published: March 2023

Objective: The role of post-exercise on the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is not evident in pediatrics with type 1 diabetes (T1D) yet. This paper reports the results of a research study on how concurrent exercise training affects NLR and PLR in children with T1D.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 40 children (boys and girls aged 11.11 ±2.29 years) were randomly divided into an experimental (n=20) and a control group (n=20). The training program included concurrent resistance-aerobic training, which was intermittently performed for 60 minutes at a rate of three times a week for 16 weeks. The participants were analyzed for blood glucose homeostasis, NLR and PLR before and after the program. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 software with paired T-test and covariance analysis (P< 0.05).
Results: The results showed that PLR significantly (P= 0.002) decreased in the exercise group after 16 weeks of concurrent training. This significance was observed between the groups too (P= 0.003). HbA1c decreased both in the exercise group and between the groups (P= 0.001, P= 0.003). NLR exhibited a significant increase both in the exercise group (P= 0.021) and between the groups (P= 0.012.)
Conclusion: Concurrent exercise training reduces PLR and HbA1c in children with T1D, which may be related to the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise training.

Background: Dengue fever as a mosquito-borne disease, has rapidly spread due to climate change, globalization, and human behavior. Iran is prone to dengue fever, as its vector recently has been found in the country. This study aimed to assess predictors of dengue preventive practices based on Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) factors in West Azerbaijan province, northwest of Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted on 405 health professionals of communicable disease sector who were interested in study participation. Data-gathering instrument was an online researcher-made questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics (11 items), questions based on PAPM, and dengue preventive practices (85 items). Content validity and reliability of the instrument, content validity ratio, content validity index, and Cronbach α were utilized, respectively. Descriptive, analytical, and regression analysis using SPSS and STATA were examined.
Results: Regression analysis revealed that awareness of appropriate actions for dengue prevention was a stronger pre­dictor of preventive practice in borderline and appropriate categories (β= 4.09, p< 0.001) and (β= 4.42, p< 0.001), re­spectively. Among factors of PAPM, beliefs about precaution effectiveness and difficulty in borderline (β= 1.04, p= 0.04) and appropriate (β= 1.12, p= 0.03) groups had direct and significant relation with dengue preventive practice.
Conclusion: The highest mean score of beliefs about hazard likelihood and severity factor was related to dengue pre­vention. Therefore, theory-based interventions that address beliefs about precaution effectiveness and difficulty can lead to assistance in acting. To improve dengue preventive practices, a well-designed promotive intervention that addresses associated factors in a context-specific manner is essential.

Abstract
The paper outlines the technical and operational journey experienced in completing this appraisal program, from wellbore preparation to the production. The paper will describe how the intervention tools and practices varied between the two wells drilled in same target and 500 ft a part. Also, the paper going to address the maximize operational efficiency, reduce emissions and availability of local resources. In addition to the modification and customization of available technologies and tools to address the UAE unconventional formations.
Multistage well completions have been developed in the last two decades. Much of this advancement can be attributed to the unconventional shale Oil and Gas plays technology revolution, in which numerous transformational tools, techniques, and concepts have led to the efficient development of ultralow- permeability resources on a massive scale. However, careful consideration must be taken because these techniques cannot be used in areas outside in early in life fields, where reservoir rock properties and stress regimes are considerably different. Therefore, if not properly designed this can compromise the effectiveness of the hydraulic fracture treatment and impair project success which, impact energy self- sufficiency followed by strategy for the country. Diyab Reservoir is an organic-rich limestone unconventional play and our focusing area is located in Al Dhafra region, 250 km west of Abu Dhabi. The target formations comprise of extremely high stress rock in addition to the high-pressure and high temperature (HPHT).
The appraisal strategy included two horizontal wells PAD that completed simultaneously (zipper) with massive multistage hydraulic fracture treatments using the perf and plug technique. Wells were long term flow tested through an early production facility to reduce emission while collecting key information to reduce the associated uncertainties and design a robust field development plan.
The obstacles that have been faced and are still ongoing with this campaign is highlighting the importance of several critical factors. These including multidisciplinary integration and planning, wellbore construction impacts, contractor performance and tool reliability. This paper is providing a summary of case histories and operational results for the first horizontal wells intervention techniques used in UAE high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) reservoirs. This represents a very important contribution and key factors to UAE Gas self-sufficiency and Energy transition strategy plan.

Published: March 2023

AbstractData is everywhere. Data is undeniable the foundation to the Oil and Gas 4.0 in the petroleum industry. However, data is not equal to value. The true business lies in extracting and maximizing value out of the available and required data. Data analytical thinking is the key to identify and define the problems, extract values, and develop solutions. This is also the key to transform to a data-driven organization.Being data driven involves a combination of people, process and technology. The structure has to be built based on a solid foundation of data driven culture, which requires both technical and soft skills updates. Being data-driven is a teamwork requiring the collaboration between domain experts and data scientists to maximize their strengths. Identifying and defining problems by domain experts is crucial. The traditional working approaches will no longer be sufficient in a data-driven culture. Becoming data sensitive with data analytical thinking will be a necessity especially during the transformation of the traditional petroleum industry.The paper illustrates the theoretical concepts of data analytical thinking and discusses the real cases exploiting the dark data and enhancing data collection. The data-driven organization is based on massive data. Fundamentally, the data flows through the process of data collection, quality assurance, data access, data security, and analytics. Every organization is collecting an amount of data much more than ever before. Unfortunately, the collected data could become dark data without proper analytics and utilization. In order to shed light on the importance of data analytical thinking, the paper utilizes the most frequently gathered data, including field production flow testing data and daily field production operational data. Real cases of utilizing eight offshore fields’ Business Plan data are also illustrated. Customized automation data analytical processes with significant boost of working efficiency are also shared to highlight the importance of integrating domain experts and data scientists.A data-driven organization makes effective decisions based on the values extracted from massive data. The smooth collaboration between domain experts and data scientists is fundamental to minimize the communication cost. Data analytical thinking bridges the gap and smoothens the problem solving process. The collaborative and data-analytical-thinking culture lays the foundation to the data-driven organization.

Abstract
The Gulf of Suez is one of the prolific Oil & gas areas in the world. Oil Production in this area started as early as the 1960s when the Giant Morgan Field was discovered, followed by discoveries of Small to Moderate Fields in the same basin. As time goes on, Fields get brown, and so do the production pipelines, Production facilities and gas lift modules. Because of aging, production interruption is a fact more than a choice. However, the Area of choice and decision is to decide the mode of action to deal with interrupts.
The field is located offshore the Gulf of Suez and started production mid-1970s. Field Produces through a pipeline network connecting 10 satellite platforms to a central production facility for primary offshore separation. All wells utilize gas lift, and similarly, high-pressure gas lines connect wells on satellite platforms to Central compression Facilities offshore and onshore. Some of these Pipelines and gas lift modules exceeded the age of 40 years, making them susceptible to failure, a situation of long-term production deferrals. In 2021 the Field had an emergency shutdown for two main pipelines impacting the production of more than 6000 BOPD from Four platforms. A calibrated Network model coupled with well models was built to study different options for production rerouting and lift gas optimization to keep the line pressure of the new route as low as possible and maintain the highest possible production.
Several simulation iterations could optimize production and minimize production deferrals using the alternative route to 1000 BOPD instead of a Complete Shut Down. The optimization plan was conveyed to the Field, and the production deferral did not exceed 1300 BOPD. Following the optimization runs, the mindset for managing operation interrupts was proactive instead of reactive. This philosophy has been extended to minimize planned and unplanned deferrals during gas lift modules downtime during overhauls or emergency repairs. Applying a contingency optimization plan allowed for decreasing deferrals by 80%. To sum up, integrated asset modelling greatly optimizes production and minimizes planned and unplanned production deferrals.
New Normal at United Energy Pakistan Limited

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The Coronavirus pandemic challenged most industries in ways unimaginable, forcing people to consider a variety of operational models which were previously unthinkable. UEP also adapted a Work-From-Home (WFH) model for its office-based staff to ensure operational continuity. A few months into the Pandemic, discussions at UEP were initiated to determine how the organization intends to manage office resumption once the Pandemic eases.
A holistic strategy was devised to seek inputs of stake holders, research global and local trends to arrive at an informed decision. The findings indicated that while globally there were discussions around New Normal the local companies were generally not inclined in changing the way they work. UEP also sought feedback on the work-from-home setup from its employees via pulse survey and focus groups. Based on the results and multiple deliberations it was decided to move towards a hybrid model as the New Normal for UEP. A key focus area throughout the process was the impact on employees and the subsequent impact on Talent Management at UEP.
This paper will discuss the series of events which led to the formalization of the "New Normal for UEP" and how it has impacted UEP's Talent Management. The paper will also briefly touch upon the post implementation feedback and lessons learnt from focus groups and highlight areas of improvement to fine tune the working model to what suits UEP best.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe study concerns a non-conventional field in the Middle East, where gas contains 4 mol% of H2S and 3 mol% of CO2. Gas is exported and production water is reinjected in the aquifer. The first target is to have H2S level in the injected water around 400 ppm and the second target is to have H2S level in the injected water lower than 60 ppm. Quantity of water to be treated will be around 10 000 bbl/d for the first weeks and decreasing up-to few 100s bbl/d after some months.The objective of this paper is (i) the evaluation of the scaling risk; (ii) identification of suitable H2S scavengers and (iii) assessment of the effect of H2S scavengers on the calcite scale due to the increase of pH.The scaling risk assessment has been performed with the help of a commercial scaling risk evaluation software. The scaling risk has been evaluated from well producer downhole to surface facilities. The precipitable masses of scales have been calculated.The identification of suitable H2S scavengers has been based on (i) assets feedbacks, (ii) feedback from TotalEnergies headquarter laboratory tests results, (iii) H2S scavenger chemistries based on literature review and (iv) Chemical suppliers’ recommendations; (v) Assessment of the effect of H2S scavengers on the CaCO3 scale. The cost performance analysis has also been carried out.The scaling risk assessment has shown at the wellhead, for early life production, in order to prevent both calcite and barite scales, the temperatures should be between 140°C and 120°C. If the temperature is equal to 150°C, a moderate risk of calcite is predicted. For late life production, if the temperature is equal to 100°C, moderate risks of both calcite and barite. At the 1st stage separator and flare KO drum, if temperatures are equal to 150°C and 140°C, a high risk of calcite is predicted. The suitable scale inhibitor has been selected with the help of dynamic tube blocking tests in the laboratory.The synthesis of TotalEnergies laboratory tests results, affiliate and partner site feedback and literature review and according to the performance, reactivity, compatibility with water, increase of scale and impact of scale inhibitor performance, Glyoxal is the best in class followed by Methylene Bis-Oxazolidine (MBO), then the MEA triazine, then Hemiacetal, then Ethylenedioxy Dimethanol (EDDM) and finally 2-Ethyl Zinc Salt.Field test has successfully shown that the Glyoxal H2S Scavenger has an excellent performance with no increase of calcite precipitation.

Abstract
The oil industry is experiencing a critical situation as the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. There are several challenges that facing the industry specially the investors as the global decline in demand for Energy merchandises, the future exploration and development drilling in new assets that require massive investments is still uncertain based on the current market price and conditions. The much-reported fall in oil prices and the acute pressure on IOCs to survive in this environment led the companies to stop many ongoing projects and shrink work profile that affected the oil production all over the world.
The situation in Egypt is quite challenging for the investors as Egypt is a big consumer, along with the political stability that kept the economy running directed the big IOCs to embrace innovative approaches to lower the operating costs that has the direct impact on the cost per barrel to support maintaining the country growth and secure current energy demand.
Dragon Oil company as newly introduced to Egypt's market after acquiring the market shares of one of the major joint ventures in Egypt (Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company- GUPCO) in October 2019 has faced the same dilemma of exerted pressure on the expenditures (Capex and Opex) in order to cope with the global market circumstances. However that didn't deter the company to embrace an innovative way of thinking and handling for the situation.
Dragon Oil/GUPCO multi-disciplinary teams achieved successfully a production incremental increase of 10,000 barrels per day through the past six month by adapting a strategic management innovative plans, alternative lower cost technical solutions, production optimization and introducing new proved technologies to the 50 years old assets.
This paper will highlight the complete workflow adopted by GUPCO/Dragon Oil teams covering the whole process aspects; appraise, select, define and execution phases to achieve the company goals. The work done was including restoring production from Shut-in offshore platforms or wells via fixing the surface network using neoteric solutions, widely applying rigless interventions using several new techniques in the current producers to maximize their production and optimizing the production cycle across the four production chokes
In Summary, Dragon Oil/GUPCO teams managed to increase GUPCO's production despite of the restricted budget and the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the oil price and reach an outstanding performance in operation excellence and safety aspects that results in arresting the natural decline and increase the growth production by about 15% from the 2019 Average production.
Experimental Investigation of Novel Green Solvents for Improving Oil Recovery through Interfacial Tension
Authors: Hamdi Zakaria , Partoon Behzad , Cheong Weng Choh , Bataee Mahmood 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe rise in demand for energy forces us to extract oil as much as possible. A variety of methods should be used for that categorized as primary, secondary, and tertiary techniques. Tertiary methods known as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) have been applied mostly to maturing reservoirs. To implement more efficient EOR methods, new materials and technologies should be used. Ionic liquids (IL) were highly regarded for chemical EOR in the last decade until researchers raised concerns about their cost, and environmental impacts. Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) were discovered and known as a potential replacement for ILs due to their non-toxic nature, biodegradable, non-flammable nature, and cost. In this study, the effectiveness of DES is investigated by observing its ability to change Interfacial tension (IFT). The studies included the effects of pressure, temperature, salinity, and concentration. The optimum salinity point was obtained as 100000ppm and after that the effect was minimal. The IFT changes with pressure change were negligible, while temperature proved to be the most affecting parameter. Overall, the study suggests that IFT changes using DES in the chemical EOR method for light crudes will not be a limiting factor at reservoir conditions.
