Since 1995 the Tarbat-Ipundu Field has developed from a marginal 200 BOPD (31.8 kL/d) field with perceived limited growth potential to a developing resource with production up to 3,000 BOPD (476.9 kL/d). This increase was achieved through the efforts of a dedicated multidisciplinary team and an aggressive 'fit for purpose' drilling and evaluation program.The Tarbat-Ipundu Field is located in PL 52 of ATP 299P in southwestern Queensland, approximately 115 km to the northeast of the Jackson Oil Field. The field was discovered by Hartogen Energy Ltd in 1986 with the drilling of Ipundu 1 which came on-line at 100 BOPD (15.9 kL/d) from the Wyandra Sandstone and the Murta Member. The discovery well was followed by the drilling of Tarbat-1 in 1988 on a subculmination to the north. Tarbat-1 encountered oil in the Wyandra Sandstone but watered out after producing 17 KSTB (2,702 kL) of oil. During 1991 a further four wells were drilled in the Ipundu Field by the then operator, Ampolex Pty Ltd. Two of these wells were plugged and abandoned. In January 1994 the field was producing at 220 BOPD (34.9 kL/d) after a total production of 350 KSTB.The Santos Group acquired a majority interest and Operatorship of the Tarbat-Ipundu Field in 1994. An integrated geological and engineering evaluation of Tarbat-1, incorporating experience gained in other parts of the Eromanga Basin, indicated the potential for bypassed oil in the Hutton Sandstone. Similarly, additional potential was recognised in the Wyandra Sandstone and Murta Member in the Tarbat-Ipundu wells. To evaluate this potential Tarbat-2 was drilled in August 1995 at a location 315 m to the northwest of Tarbat-1. Drill stem tests in Tarbat-2 resulted in flows of 2,037 BOPD (323.8 kL/d) from a 26 m gross hydrocarbon column in the Hutton Sandstone and 770 BOPD (122.4 kL/d) from a 14 m gross hydrocarbon column in the Wyandra Sandstone.An aggressive appraisal and development program followed the drilling of Tarbat-2 which has resulted in the drilling of an additional 25 wells. Proved and Probable Oil in Place estimates have increased from 5.2 MMSTB (0.826 ML) in 1994 to 44.2 MMSTB (7.02 ML) in 1997. As at June 1997 the field produces oil from the WyandraSandstone, Murta Member and Hutton Sandstone of the Eromanga Basin. A combined oil offtake of up to 3,000 BOPD (476.9 kL/d) has been achieved from the field. Continued field development is planned for 1998.The successful 're-discovery' of the Tarbat-Ipundu Field illustrates the potential benefit of a systematic review and integration of all existing data via a multidisciplinary team. The increasing cost of new data acquisition makes it imperative that the existing data is thoroughly evaluated prior to the investment of further exploration capital. The Tarbat-Ipundu Field demonstrates the potential to add significant new reserves from focussed targeting and evaluation of potential bypassed hydrocarbon accumulations.

Abstract Under the present conditions of oil and gas production, which are characterized by mature production fields and the focus shifted towards digitalization of production processes and use of machine learning (ML) models, the issues related to the improvement of accuracy and consistency of the well operation control data are becoming increasingly important. As a result, SPD has successfully implemented the project of using annular pressure sensors in combination with machine learning models to control the well annular pressure as part of the field development program compliance. Under the field development program, echosounder and telemetry system readings are typically used to control the annular pressure and the dynamic flowing level. Echosounders, however, are not designed as measuring instruments, the accuracy of their readings being low and making it impossible to reliably evaluate the well's dynamic flowing level and annular pressure, as well as to achieve the well's maximum potential, and the telemetry systems used to measure the pump intake pressure may go wrong. This manuscript describes the approach to the producer well annular pressure assessment based on the machine learning model data. The machine learning (ML) model is a function of the target variable (bottom-hole pressure), which is predicted on the basis of the actual data: static parameters (well schematic, pump design) and dynamic parameters (annular and line pressures, flowrate). The input parameter interpretation results in the most probable value of the target variable based on the historic data.

<p>One of the government’s policies to realize food security is the expansion of new rice fields called the rice fields development program. Rice fields development programs carried out outside Java Island are constrained by socio-cultural factors, limited infrastructure for farming facilities, land fertility, market access, labour availability and others. This study aims to analyze the impact and evaluate the sustainability status of rice fields development program in 2016 in Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan Province. The study was conducted in Katingan Kuala Subdistrict, Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan Province in May - June 2018 respondent who participate in rice fields development program from the Ministry of Agriculture in 2016. Primary data were collected by interviews with questionnaires on 41 respondents who have deliberately determined farmers and program participants supported by focus group discussions with 10 key informants and observations in the field. Indicators in determining respondents were the area of rice field ownership, farming experience and skills, main income source, education level, and others. While the informant criterion was understanding the social, cultural, institutional, infrastructure and environmental conditions during rice fields development program took place. Rice field development program in Katingan Kuala District, Katingan Regency in 2016 can be implemented as planned. The impact of the rice field development program includes increasing farmers' income, expanding employment opportunities, but not damaging the environment. The increase in income does not increase the welfare of the average farmer because the increase in income only reaches 11.6%. The results of the analysis used the Rapid Appraisal for Farming (RAP-FARM), specifically the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) approach showed a sustainability index was 54.30. It means that rice fields development program in Katingan Regency was less sustainable because the five sustainability indicators are institutional and infrastructure was less sustainable; while other aspects were quite sustainable with the highest value in the ecological aspects.</p><p> </p><p>Abstrak</p><p class="Default">Salah satu kebijakan pemerintah untuk mewujudkan ketahanan pangan adalah perluasan lahan sawah yang disebut dengan program cetak sawah.

Program cetak sawah di Kecamatan Katingan Kuala, Kabupaten Katingan tahun 2016 dapat dilaksanakan sesuai dengan yang direncanakan. Dampak program cetak sawah antara lain meningkatkan pendapatan petani, memperluas kesempatan kerja, namun tidak merusak lingkungan. Peningkatan pendapatan tidak sampai meningkatkan kesejahteraan rata-rata petani karena peningkatan pendapatan hanya mencapai 11,6%. Hasil analisis menggunakan <em>Rapid Appraisal for Farming </em>(RAP-FARM), khususnya pendekatan <em>Multidimensional Scaling </em>(MDS<em>)</em><em> </em>menunjukkan indeks keberlanjutan 54,30. Hal ini berarti program cetak sawah di Kabupaten Katingan kurang berkelanjutan karena dari lima indikator keberlanjutan, yaitu kelembagaan dan infrastruktur kurang berkelanjutan; sementara aspek lainnya cukup berkelanjutan dengan nilai tertinggi pada aspek ekologi.</p>

Abstract As part of the industry 4.0 revolution, digital technologies are forever changing the way we do things. native cloud applications are able to adapt to specific processes and requirements, particularly those related to well construction planning driven by an automated collaborative solution. The operator of the future will use its engineers mainly for engineering analysis and social interactions, while the system will take over tasks such as orchestration, data mining, and experience management. Based on the definition of a new way of working and the application of new workflows, a thorough trial process was required to evaluate the solution usability and to define the minimum viable product requirements to be developed within a strategic partnership prior to rolling out the technology. The requirement was to enable globally dispersed teams, even across company borders, collaborating through automatically orchestrated processes, supported by knowledge and experience management systems in the background, to deliver a digital drilling program and ultimately accelerate the field development program. The operator decided to prove the concept through a series of pilots within a well-educated well planning team. Major assumptions to the business case were tested while planning actual drilling operations with the purpose to de-risk the value proposition. All different tested elements are captured by the users and the gaps to the final solution are ranked for joint development. The back-end interoperability of the solution supports a fully connected model, where data from subsurface systems can directly feed the well construction planning platform. The automated updates in the end-to-end workflow would ultimately simplify the way drilling engineers work, but also upscale the nature of their work by including many new elements as part of the routing analysis. Supported by the cloud computer power and flexibility, remote working is seamlessly enabled to removing the classic silos and digitally promote the collaboration. Standardization across the whole organization by corporate managed settings reduces iterative control processes. Furthermore, management of change is a key aspect to consider alongside the technical elements. The result of the extended trial confirmed that achieving the minimum viable product requirements of the operators was well within reach and confirmed the operator's value case to a large extent. In this paper we will describe the extended trial process, objectives, and associated workflows, in addition to the collaborative team nominated by both partners. The scope was user centric to assist with competency development and technology adoption. Parallel to confirming the minimum viable product, the extended pilot resulted in a prioritized list of co-developments leading to the full implementation of the operator's vision of a fully integrated well planning workflow.

Early field tests on 25- and 33-MW combustion turbines indicated that, with modest controls on fuel sulfur content, compliance with strict regulations on particulate emissions, such as the 10 lb (4.5 kg) per hour Rule 67 of the Los Angeles Air Pollution Control District, was feasible. This paper describes the field development program to demonstrate Rule 67 compliance on an 80-MW combustion turbine for which the 10-lb/hr (4.5-kg/hr) limit is approximately 4 psm by weight. Particulate controls were implemented by installing improved-smoke combustors, and using water injection and low sulfur fuel. Meticulous sampling and analytical procedures were developed, using a specially designed and equipped environmental test laboratory trailer, to study the properties of particulate collection filters, and to improve the precision of measurements from each portion of the particulate sampling system: probe, filter, and water impingers. The test results clearly indicate that with proper attention to the details of sample system preconditioning, sample collection and analysis, the large combustion turbine can comply with the stringent 10-lb/hr (4.5-kg/hr) particulate limit of Rule 67.
