The inflow performance prediction of a completion is one of the most important tasks in forecasting production performance of a well. When selecting an optimum completion design it is essential to compare different options and perform parametric studies, one of the key completion decisions being the selection of a cased and perforated or barefoot well. In cased and perforated wells, key inflow performance parameters include gun type, perforation penetration depth, shot density, shot phasing, depth of mud invasion and dependence of their effects on reservoir properties. The open literature hosts a plethora of inflow equations for some classic completion practices; however, complex options are not adequately addressed. More importantly, when one compares inflow performance of various completion options or conducts a parametric study of certain parameters, the relative calculation results do not always make sense. In this paper, we describe an operator’s (Shell International Exploration and Production) in-house study to develop a consistent set of inflow performance equations that not only make sense in their own right, but also make good relative sense when comparing different completion options, particularly with regard to cased and perforated wells. Most of the significant open literature has been reviewed and a set of consistent inflow models have been compiled and developed. Many equations have been improved—e.g., perforation skin calculations, mechanical and total skin calculations, rate dependant skin for horizontal completions—and new equations have been derived for options not previously modelled in the literature (e.g., barefoot and perforated completions, double perforated completions, re-perforated completions and complex horizontal completions). All equations have been coded into the Shell Perforation Optimisation Tool (SPOTTM) software package, enabling engineers to easily and accurately predict and compare complex completion options for design decisions. Inflow performance calculation results of various completion scenarios and parametric studies are also presented.

Knowledge of the properties of reservoir oil is necessary when calculating reserves, creating projects development, creating hydrodynamic models of development objects. Reservoir oil properties are determined by downhole samples taken, as usual, from exploration and production wells. In some cases, it is impossible to create conditions for the selection of high-quality downhole samples at exploration and production wells. In such cases, we must use samples of surface oil to obtain information about the reservoir properties of this oil. In this work and as a result of the analysis of the accumulated data, dependencies with a high degree of correlation were obtained, which make it possible to quickly assess the expected parameters of reservoir oil, having only the density of surface oil.

Sulfur-Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) is the new generation click chemistry transformation exploiting the unique properties of S-F bonds and their ability to undergo near-perfect reactions with nucleophiles. We report here the first SuFEx based protocol for the efficient synthesis of pharmaceutically important triflones and bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur oxyimines from the corresponding sulfonyl fluorides and iminosulfur oxydifluorides, respectively. The new protocol involves the rapid exchange of the S-F bond with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (TMSCF<sub>3</sub>) upon activation with potassium bifluoride in anhydrous DMSO. The reaction tolerates a wide selection of substrates and proceeds under mild conditions without need for chromatographic purification. A tentative catalytic mechanism is proposed supported by DFT calculations, involving formation of the free trifluoromethyl anion followed by nucleophilic displacement of the S-F through a five-coordinate intermediate. The preparation of a benzothiazole derived bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur oxyimine with cytotoxic selectivity for MCF7 breast cancer cells demonstrates the utility of this methodology for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules.<br>

Summary The heavy-oil- and bitumen-recovery process by injection of a pure condensing solvent in a solvent vapor chamber provides an alternative to steam-based recovery techniques such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Because of the lower operating temperature between 40 and 80°C, the process uses a much lower energy budget than a steam process and thus results in significantly reduced greenhouse-gas emissions. This paper describes the route to a successful production function with the physical processes at play and using analytical tools. Physical relationships are derived for the solvent/bitumen (S/B) ratio, the bitumen drainage from the roof of the solvent vapor chamber, and for bitumen extraction from both sides of the solvent chamber by the draining condensed solvent. The fast diffusion of bitumen into this narrow liquid solvent zone is likely subtly enhanced by transverse dispersion. The speed of bitumen extraction from the roof of the solvent vapor chamber is constrained by the gas/oil capillary pressure. Extraction from the side of the chamber is approximately three times faster by the action of the thin gravity-draining liquid solvent film. Several equations are provided to enable creation of a heat balance for this condensing solvent process. Laboratory and field observations are matched, including the rates, the heat balance, and the S/B ratio. The model can explain constrained production performance by identifying the rate-limiting steps (e.g., when insufficient solvent condenses). The model predicts high solvent holdup during the rise of the solvent chamber. A method to estimate this solvent liquid saturation is provided. The S/B ratio depends on injector-wellbore heat losses, the (high) liquid saturation in the rising solvent chamber, and the process properties (operating temperature), reservoir properties (heat capacity, porosity, and oil saturation), and solvent properties (density and latent heat). In the existing body of literature, no satisfactory analytical model was available; this new approach helps to constrain production performance and to estimate solvent and heat requirements. The methods in this paper can be used in the future for subsurface project design and performance predictions.

Summary An approach to the analysis of production data from waterflooded oil fields is proposed in this paper. The method builds on the established techniques of rate-transient analysis (RTA) and extends the analysis period to include the transient- and steady-state effects caused by a water-injection well. This includes the initial rate transient during primary production, the depletion period of boundary-dominated flow (BDF), a transient period after injection starts and diffuses across the reservoir, and the steady-state production that follows. RTA will be applied to immiscible displacement using a graph that can be used to ascertain reservoir properties and evaluate performance aspects of the waterflood. The developed solutions can also be used for accurate and rapid forecasting of all production transience and boundary-dominated behavior at all stages of field life. Rigorous solutions are derived for the transient unit mobility displacement of a reservoir fluid, and for both constant-rate-injection and constant-pressure-injection after a period of reservoir depletion. A simple treatment of two-phase flow is given to extend this to the water/oil-displacement problem. The solutions are analytical and are validated using reservoir simulation and applied to field cases. Individual wells or total fields can be studied with this technique; several examples of both will be given. Practical cases are given for use of the new theory. The equations can be applied to production-data interpretation, production forecasting, injection-water allocation, and for the diagnosis of waterflood-performanceproblems.

Emergency Reporting Application is an android-based application that serves to help the community in reporting the emergency condition. This application allows users to choose and contact the emergency services office, without the need to notice their position and phone number. Selection of emergency services office is also automatically selected by the system by taking into account the distance between the complainant and the emergency services office. The selected emergency services office is the nearest emergency service office from the complainant so that the delay in coming assistance can be minimized. Therefore, this proposed application requires a GPS feature to recording, reporting and SMS positioning for message delivery of reports. The distance between the position of the complainant and the position of the emergency service office, in the form of latitude and longitude data, is requested using the Haversine formula taking into account the degree of curvature of the earth. Emergency service offices include police and hospital offices spread over 25 different districts. Furthermore, the reporter's position calculation results were compared with all selected emergency service offices and obtained 1 nearest emergency service office. Calculating the accuracy and delay value of the system will do system testing. Accuracy test results using the method of 100% Haversine and the average delay of the system is 4.5 seconds.

The paper discusses approaches to the numerical integration of the second-kind Manakov equation system. Emphasis is placed on the transition from writing equations in dimensional quantities to equations in dimensionless units. A combined explicit/implicit finite-difference integration scheme based on the implicit CrankNicolson finite-difference scheme is proposed and substantiated, which allows integrating a nonlinear system of equations with a choice of nonlinear term at the previous integration step. An algorithm for leveling the disadvantage associated with the definition of the nonlinear term from the previous integration step is proposed. The approach of automatic selection of the integration step, which reduces the total number of integration steps while maintaining the required accuracy of the approximate solution, is substantiated. Examples of the calculation results for some values of the disturbance propagation are given. The limitations imposed by the computing scheme on the length of the integrable fiber section are described, and approaches, that eliminate these limitations without the need to increase arrays dimensions, are proposed. Requirements for initial boundary conditions are discussed. Предложена разработка метода приближенного решения системы уравнения Манакова как одного из частных случаев системы уравнений Шрёдингера, связанного с моделированием оптических линий связи на основе многомодовых волокон. Решение ищется методами численного интегрирования. Показано, что численное интегрирование может быть осуществлено с использованием комбинированной явно-неявной схемы численного интегрирования на основе схемы КранкаНиколсон с записью нелинейного слагаемого в конечно-разностной форме, взятого с предыдущего шага интегрирования. Использован алгоритм автоматического выбора шага интегрирования, реализован итерационный алгоритм уточнения решения на каждом шаге, предложен алгоритм, позволяющий производить расчет параметров на протяженных участках. Нахождение приближенного решения системы уравнения Манакова может быть осуществлено с использованием комбинированной явно-неявной схемы КранкаНиколсон, а запись нелинейного слагаемого в конечно-разностной форме, взятого с предыдущего шага интегрирования, дает неплохой результат. Алгоритм автоматического выбора шага интегрирования обеспечивает лучшую сходимость результатов интегрирования на большом расстоянии и снижение необходимого количества шагов интегрирования. Алгоритм уточнения решения на каждом шаге позволяет нивелировать недостаток метода явной записи неявного слагаемого и интегрировать с большим шагом. Алгоритм расчета параметров распространения возмущения со сдвигом фрейма позволяет сделать вывод о целесообразности развития этого алгоритма.

As oil exploration and production move into water depths over 1000 ft (305 m), several companies are investigating compliant structures as possible solutions to the economic and engineering problems involved. This paper focuses on the tension-leg type of platform, a positively buoyant structure kept on location by a pretensioned anchoring system. The basic approach to design of a tension-leg platform system, the various components of the system and the interaction between naval architectural and structural design considerations are presented. The author points out that planning for a successful design must include:preparation of good design criteria,determination of variables,evaluation of variables for sensitivity and interaction,accurate and timely engineering decisions in selection of a set of parameters, andparallel studies covering fabrication, transportation and installation requirements. Appendices give the mathematical bases for computing motions of the tenslon-leg platform and graphic illustrations of platform characteristics and the effects of typical exciting forces.
