Abstract A unique invert emulsion fluid (IEF) weighted up with treated micronized weighting agent (MWA) slurries has been developed and successfully implemented in the field as a completion and testing fluid. The utilization of this unique IEF by design allowed the fluid properties to be lower on viscosity and superior suspension characteristics, which allowed for thermally stable fluid and provided excellent downhole hydraulics performance. Much of the earlier development and deployment of this type of IEF was focused on drilling for sections in narrow mud weight and fracture gradient windows, coiled tubing operations, managed pressure drilling, and extended reach wells. Many of these drilling challenges are also encountered in high pressure and high temperature (HTHP) and ultra-deepwater field developments and mature, depleted fields. Early fluid developments focused on designing the fluids chemistry and physics interactions and the optimization of mineralogy of the weighing agent used. There was also some concern on variability of the results seen on the return permeability as well as standard fluid loss experiments. The paper describes the laboratory and field and rigsite data generated while using the MWA in IEFs during completion operations with a client in India. The paper will briefly describe the laboratory work before the application and the associated results observed on the rig site. It will also outline all the challenges which were faced during the execution and mixing of the MWA IEFs. Each separate operation required a high-density reservoir fluid solution above 15.5 ppg [1.85 sg]. Because corrosion, sag potential, and scale were the operator's main concerns, a solids-free brine or other type of weighting agent (for e.g. Calcium Carbonate and/or Tri-Manganese Tetra Oxide) solution was not favored. A high-density IEF designed with MWA allowed us to provide a solution that mitigated against the risks identified in each operation. The thin viscosity profile enabled completion activities to proceed with minimal fluid consumption at surface, reducing the overall environmental impact. The high-density (15.6 ppg [1.86 SG] and 16.2 ppg [1.94 SG]) invert emulsion fluid was designed to minimize sag potential with minimal reservoir damage potential. With a thinner viscosity profile compared to conventional IEFs at equivalent densities, the fluid enabled completion activities with minimal fluid volumes lost over shakers and reduced the environmental impact. The MWA that was used to build the IEF used for drilling and completion fluid enabled maintenance of extremely low-shear rate viscosities when compared to conventional barite-laden fluids. This fluid was used for suspending and abandoning the well in Case Study A, where the reentry and intervention of the well was planned to be after 2 years. After exposure of the fluid in Case Study A, the fluid showed minimum sag after re-entry of the well and the intervention activities were done without any problems. Case Study B showed that the fluid was mixed to the density of 16.2 ppg and was used to perforate and test two different zones. The bottom hole static temperature (BHST) reported were 356 degF (180 degC) for Case Study A and 376 degF (191 degC) for Case Study B respectively. The paper attempts to show the effects of using this alternative weighing agent as a completion fluid instead of a high-density solids-free brine or other solids-laden high-density brines and the associated success, which could be managed if the fluid design is carefully planned.

Referring to the Malaysian National Security Council, disaster is defined as a catastrophic situation that claimed many lives and caused extensive damage to property and potentially endangers the public peace and security. In Malaysia, there were few natural disaster events that can be said to be among the worst ever in terms of the number of deaths and damages. However, these occurrences were not as severe as overseas. At the end of December 2014, there was a catastrophic flood called as the 'Bah Kuning' was hitting the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It resulted in almost 85% of the total Kuala Krai area inundated by flood water. One of the elements in post-disaster recovery is rebuilding shelter for victims. Regardless, it is important to research on residents’ satisfaction as it will affect the well-being directly or indirectly. Thus, a study was carried out to evaluate the satisfaction of residents (victims) on the “New Permanent Houses” (Rumah Kekal Baharu, RKB) that they received from the redevelopment project. A questionnaire survey was carried out to collect and understand respondents’ satisfaction on the redevelopment of their housing area, in specific, the quality of their newly reconstructed houses and the supporting facilities or infrastructure in their area. From the analysis, it was found that majority of the respondents were satisfied with their newly redeveloped houses and the infrastructure. The satisfaction level was associated with the locational and land ownership factors.

Set Up

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discover the operational character of gated communities in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on a small case study conducted in Iskandar Malaysia, an economic development region located in the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. In the case study, 12 housing developers were interviewed, involving 32 gated communities altogether. The investigation covered the identification of the governing document used in operating a gated community, the operational purposes and scopes, the arrangement for collection of maintenance fee, and the internal governance within the gated communities. Findings – From the analysis, it was found that two types of gated communities exist in the case study areas, namely the strata gated community scheme, and the gated community scheme (GACOS). The operational mechanism for the former is through a set of rules enforced by the government. Meanwhile, the latter is based on the arrangement set up either by the developer, where legal agreement is applicable, or through the consensus among homeowners. However, despite these differences, both mechanisms share the same intention, that is to operate the gated community based on cooperative-collective sharing arrangement. Research limitations/implications – Despite the vulnerability of GACOS enclosure components, the case study revealed that the number of GACOS is still bigger than the strata gated community scheme. Since this perspective is lacking in this paper, it is suggested that more studies are conducted to explain the reasons behind the indicated phenomenon. Originality/value – The most important contribution of the paper is to highlight the importance of gating experience that is heavily influenced by the local policy setting to determine the survival of a gated community; thus, demonstrating how different they are from each other.

Conflicting Role

This article study the discrepancy between theory and practice, especially the roles play by Land Office and Forestry Department in term of overlapping of power and penalties between Land Office and Forestry Department especially the forest on the state land leading to susceptibility in monitoring and enforcement system. The whole empirical works took place in the Central Region of Peninsular Malaysia namely as Negeri Sembilan. The total area of permanent reserved forest in that state is 155,531 hectares including the Permanent Reserved Forest Johol which was selected as the case study in this research. An exploratory research design was adopted in this research. Therefore, in-depth interviews have been done with officers from the Land Office and Forestry Department regarding their role and powers in monitoring and enforcement system to combat forest offences in Permanent Reserved Forest Johol. While data collected was analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. Content analysis was used to identify the similarities and dissimilarities of acts that empower Land Office and Forestry Department to taking action against forest offences. Theoretically, there are overlapping powers occurs between Land Office and Forestry Department identified in National Land Code 1965 and National Forestry Act 1984 in terms of arrestment of the forest offenders and seized their equipment. However, penalties imposed by both acts are very different. Practically, both authorities have divided their responsibility and power accordingly to avoid overlapping. Issues and challenges that faced by them have been found and most of them are similar. There should be an amendment to the acts in terms of the penalty imposed by both authorities. The penalty stated in both acts should be synchronized or the related sections be removed if the authorities do not implement it practically to avoid overlapping and conflicting of action imposed between two acts.Keywords: state land, forest, forest offences, penalties, monitoring, enforcement, overlapping of powerCitation: Azizan, M.U., Bing, T.S., Raid, M.M., Mohammad, M.T.S, Hussin, K., Rahman, M.M.G.A., and Nadzri, M.I.
