Question 1.2
Emerald oil field has been discovered 50 km off the North-West Shelf of WA in a
water depth of 100 meters. Initial seismic interpretations have revealed that the
reservoir is divided into two sections by a fault (Figure 2). In the first six months of
discovery Well A was drilled into the western flank of the structure but no traces of
hydrocarbon were found. After further seismic data analysis it was decided to drill a
second well (Well B) into the other side of the fault (eastern flank). From the mud-
log analysis and well log interpretations it has been revealed that the structure on
the east side of fault contains commercially producible volumes of oil and gas.
Therefore it is believed that the fault running through the structure is a sealing fault.

Permeability Evaluation in Pilaspi (M. Eocene - U. Eocene) FormationIJERA Editor
Studying the permeability in a particular formation will be our address in this paper, through collection of a set of data in relates to the past real core analyses by the oil operators and correlating them to our lab works on the samples of the same formation from Pilaspi formation (M.EOCENE - U.EOCENE) outcrop on Haibat Sultan Mountain near Taq Taq oil Field. Lab works were done in Koya University using most of reservoir lab equipments for getting and determining the most important properties like porosity and permeability on plug samples of that formation. The key study in this paper is oil well TT-02 in Taq Taq oil field. In this paper we will try to nominate and recognize the more active porosity type through measuring air and liquid permeability in our reservoir lab and show the effects of increasing flowing pressure on the permeability using saturated and dry core plug. Water and air were used as flowing fluids and two methods were used to measure the permeability; steady-state method, measures the permeability of a saturated Core plug under constant flow rate conditions and air permeability with (N2) for dry core plug.

The Effect of Temperature and Rock Permeability on Oil-Water Relative Permeab...IJERA Editor
Wax deposition has always been a problem for the production of waxy crude oil. When the reservoir
temperature is below the wax appearance temperature (WAT), wax would precipitate in the oil phase as wax
crystals, which could increase the oil viscosity and decrease the permeability of the rock. In this study, a series
of core flooding experiments under 5 different temperatures and using two groups of core samples with
permeability liein300 md and 1000 md respectively were carried out to investigate the effect of temperature and
rock permeability on waxy crude oil-water relative permeability curves under reservoir condition. The results
revealed that temperature has a significant influence on relative permeability, especially when the temperature is
below the WAT (70℃ in this study). The initial water decreased by 40% and the residual oil saturation increased
to about 2.5 times when temperature decreased from 85℃ to 50℃ for experiments of both two groups in this
study. Oil recovery decreased as the temperature dropped. There was not much difference between the oil
recovery of cores with permeability of 1000 md and that with permeability of 300 md until the temperature
dropped to 70℃, and the difference increased to 8% when temperature decreased to 50℃, which implies that
reservoir with lower permeability is easier to be damaged by wax deposition only when the temperature drops to
below WAT. According to this work, it is suggested that reservoir temperature should be better maintained
higher than theWAT when extracting waxy crude oil of this reservoir, or at least above 60℃
Increasing interest by governments worldwide on reducing CO2 released into the atmosphere form a nexus of of opportunity with enhanced oil recovery which could benefit mature oil fields in nearly every country. Overall approximately two-thirds of original oil in place (OOIP) in mature conventional oil fields remains after primary or primary/secondary recovery efforts have taken place. CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2 EOR) has an excellent record of revitalizing these mature plays and can dramatically increase ultimate recovery. Since the first CO2 EOR project was initiated in 1972, more than 154 additional projects have been put into operation around the world and about two-thirds are located in the Permian basin and Gulf coast regions of the United States. While these regions have favorable geologic and reservoir conditions for CO2 EOR, they are also located near large natural sources of CO2.
In recent years an increasing number of projects have been developed in areas without natural supplies, and have instead utilized captured CO2 from a variety of anthropogenic sources including gas processing plants, ethanol plants, cement plants, and fertilizer plants. Today approximately 36% of active CO2 EOR projects utilize gas that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere. Interest world-wide has increased, including projects in Canada, Brazil, Norway, Turkey, Trinidad, and more recently, and perhaps most significantly, in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. About 80% of all energy used in the world comes from fossil fuels, and many industrial and manufacturing processes generate CO2 that can be captured and used for EOR. In this 30 minute presentation a brief history of CO2 EOR is provided, implications for utilizing captured carbon are discussed, and a demonstration project is introduced with an overview of characterization, modeling, simulation, and monitoring actvities taking place during injection of more than a million metric tons (~19 Bcf) of anthropogenic CO2 into a mature waterflood.
Longer versions of the presentation can be requested and can cover details of geologic and seimic characterization, simulation studies, time-lapse monitoring, tracer studies, or other CO2 monitoring technologies.

Assignment Details
Scenario: Generally, we have considered sexual harassment actions or verbal abuse of women to be done by men. Over the past several decades, the culture of society has evolved. The diversity of sex and gender has erupted from male abuses of females based on their biology. Now, there are gender reassignments which allow for persons with the psychological inclination to be the gender other than what they were born as being possible. Further, there are a number of transgender persons who, while retaining their biological configuration, adopt the psyche and outward appearance through dress and mannerisms of what is considered to be the traditional opposite gender of their physiology.
Recently, a newly assigned outwardly female officer was found out by her teammates in a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit to actually be a biological male. Several of the SWAT team members have come to you as the SWAT Command Leader and have voiced their concern because the transgender officer uses the ladies room, wears makeup, and dresses as a woman in her civilian attire at the end of the shift. The officers making the complaint are claiming that someone with a psychopathological problem should not be in the SWAT unit. You go to the Deputy Chief with their concerns and she tells you to prepare a briefing for the SWAT members concerning the requirements for SWAT team membership and that if an officer makes the grade, he or she has the opportunity to be a SWAT officer.
In a 3–5-page paper, you must explain to the officers, including those who complained as well as those who did not complain, that the department supports the assignment of the new officer and that according to law, she must be accepted as a valid member of the team so long as she is qualified. Further, explain that transphobia is not an acceptable attitude for members of the team and that any discriminatory action on the part of officers concerning the new officer would not be tolerated and would be met with appropriate disciplinary action.

Case Study 1
Concepts of Altered Health in Older Adults
Joseph P. is an 82-year-old male living at home. He is in overall good health and enjoys taking long walks as often as possible. During his walks, he likes to stop for a cold glass of fruit juice at the local cafeteria. On cold or rainy days, he rides a stationary bicycle at home for 30 minutes to “stay in good shape.”
What physiological factors would typically increase Joseph’s risk of falling while walking outdoors?
What are the common changes in blood pressure regulation that occurs with aging?
Joseph enjoys fruit juice when he walks. Considering the renal system in the older adult, why would dehydration be a particular concern?
Case Study 2
Structure and Function of the Kidney
Rivka is an active 21-year-old who decided to take a day off from her university classes. The weather was hot and the sun bright, so she decided to go down to the beach. When she arrived, she found a few people playing beach volleyball, and they asked if she wanted to join in. She put down her school bag and began to play. The others were well prepared for their day out and stopped throughout the game to have their power drinks and soda pop. Several hours after they began to play, however, Rivka was not feeling so good. She stopped sweating and was feeling dizzy. One player noted she had not taken a washroom break at all during the day. They found a shaded area for her, and one of the players shared his power drink with her. Rivka was thirstier than she realized and quickly finished the drink.
In pronounced dehydration, hypotension can occur. How would this affect the glomerular filtration rate of the kidney? What actions by the juxtaglomerular apparatus would occur to restore GFR?
What is the effect aldosterone has on the distal convoluted tubule? Why would the actions of aldosterone be useful to Rivka in her situation?
What does a specific gravity test measure? If someone tested the specific gravity of Rivka’s urine, what might it indicate?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. Question 1.2
Emerald oil field has been discovered 50 km off the North-West
Shelf of WA in a
water depth of 100 meters. Initial seismic interpretations have
revealed that the
reservoir is divided into two sections by a fault (Figure 2). In
the first six months of
discovery Well A was drilled into the western flank of the
structure but no traces of
hydrocarbon were found. After further seismic data analysis it
was decided to drill a
second well (Well B) into the other side of the fault (eastern
flank). From the mud-
log analysis and well log interpretations it has been revealed
that the structure on
the east side of fault contains commercially producible volumes
of oil and gas.
Therefore it is believed that the fault running through the
structure is a sealing fault.
Figure 2 (figures are for illustration purposes only and not to
scale)
While drilling Well A, a single pressure measurement was
performed. At depth of
5500 ftss the pressure was measured to be 2534.7 psia. From the
well logs run in
Well B, OWC has been detected to be at 5700 ftss. Two further
pressure data were
also recorded in Well B (Table 2)

Question 1.3
A vertical exploration well, Bentley-1 drilled into a normally
pressured
reservoir entered the reservoir at 6000 ft.MSL. The well was
drilled to
6250 ft.MSL and logged. Based on the logs, it was concluded
that the
reservoir down to 6200 ft.MSL was of good quality but
contained only
formation water. A pressure survey indicated a water gradient
of 0.4333 psi/ft.
A 3D seismic survey was then carried out and after
interpretation of the data,
9. Bentley-2 was drilled into the same reservoir, 2 km from
Bentley-1. Before the
casing was run, a second pressure survey was carried out but
unfortunately
only two valid pressures were obtained due to operational
difficulties.

Electric logs ran indicated the GOC to be at 5200 ft. MSL.
However, it was not
easy to identify the OWC exactly from the resistivity logs.
A production test was then performed to test the oil column.
The well flowed at
a constant rate of 7,800 stb/d of oil with a corresponding gas
rate of
9.36 MMscf/d. No water was produced at surface.
Preliminary analysis of fluid samples taken from the separator
and downhole
indicated an oil gravity of 300 API, a gas gravity of 0.7 and
initial Rs of 900
scf/stb. The initial oil formation volume factor and the
corresponding gas
expansion factor were also measured to be 1.336 rb/stb and 150
