The problem of water and gas coning has plagued the petroleum industry for decades. Water or gas encroachment in oil zone and thus simultaneous production of oil & water or oil & gas is a major technical, environmental and economic problems associated with oil and gas production. This can limit the productive life of the oil and gas wells and can cause severe problems including corrosion of tubulars, fine migration, hydrostatic loading etc. The environmental impact of handling, treating and disposing of the produced water can seriously affect the economics of the production. Commonly, the reservoirs have an aquifer beneath the zone of hydrocarbon. While producing from oil zone, there develops a low pressure zone as a result of which the water zone starts coning upwards and gas zone cones down towards the production perforation in oil zone and thus reducing the oil production. Pressure enhanced capillary transition zone enlargement around the wellbore is responsible for the concurrent production. This also results in the loss of water drive and gas drive to a certain extent.
Numerous technologies have been developed to control unwanted water and gas coning. In order to design an effective strategy to control the coning of oil or gas, it is important to understand the mechanism of coning of oil and gas in reservoirs by developing a model of it. Non-Darcy flow effect (NDFE), vertical permeability, aquifer size, density of well perforation, and flow behind casing increase water coning/inflow to wells in homogeneous gas reservoirs with bottom water are important factors to consider. There are several methods to slow down coning of water and/or gas such as producing at a certain critical rate, polymer injection, Downhole Water Sink (DWS) technology etc.

Cost management and performance measurements for petroleum upstream industry ...Hamdy Rashed
Cost control and management is not appropriate only for manufacturing and commercial industry; cost management is applied in upstream industry such as Petroleum exploration, development and production cost. Many Petroleum Companies don’t pay more attention to cost control and especially during exploration phase except if Companies face financial dilemma, declining production or if they see they cannot meet their planned schedule of Capital program that lead them to not meet their obligation, commitments and required return, therefore, they start considering cost reduction or control. This paper provide management accountant, cost controller, financial controller, financial manager, internal auditor and cost recovery auditor with brief of cost control, how cost is analyzed and managed and performance is measured in Petroleum upstream industry in accounting view and in conduction with technical information. The technical information that is covered in this paper is useful for accountant and non-technical staff who is interested. We don’t criticize or indicate fishing period that is stated in Standard Handbook of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering is wrong but we cover and adjust the fishing period formula and add new fishing period formulas in management accounting view only.

Sediment deposition in koyna reservoir by integrated bathymetric surveyeSAT Journals
Abstract In southern part of India, most of the precipitation occurs due to south-west monsoon during the months of June to September. Storage reservoirs are constructed to store the run-off volume and utilize it for long term requirements in the command such as irrigation, power generation, domestic water supply etc. The sediment deposition in the reservoir is a continuous and complex process. Sediment in a river which originates from the land erosion process in the catchment is propagated along with the river flow and finally gets deposited in the reservoir. This has adverse effect such as reduction in storage capacity and increase in backwater levels. For the long term and yearly planning of efficient utilization of reservoir capacity, estimation of sediment deposit is not only sufficient but also estimation of trapped sediment at different levels in the reservoir is required. Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) based Integrated Bathymetric Survey System for hydrographic survey is used for estimation of sediment deposition pattern in the Koyna reservoir. In this method three or more satellite based GPS receivers are used in differential mode for positioning. Ecosounder is used for depth measurements. GPS reference receiver is located at a known latitude and longitude position and GPS mobile receiver is located on the survey boat. Both the GPS operate in differential mode through a communication link. From this study (2004) it is observed that sedimentation rate in Koyna reservoir is more than 6.5 Ham/100 sq.km/year anticipated in 1949. Key Words: reservoir, sedimentation, Bathymetric Survey, hydrographic, GPS

Butterfly valves are widely used in hydro power plants to regulate and control the flow
through hydraulic turbines. That’s why it is important to design the valve in such a way that it can give
best performance so that optimum efficiency can be achieved in hydraulic power plants. Conventionally
that the models of large size valves are straight in the laboratory to determine their performance
characteristics. This is a time consuming and costly process. High computing facility along with the use
of numerical techniques can give the solution to any fluid flow problem in a lesser time. In this research
work flow analysis through butterfly valve with aspect ratio 1/3 has been performed using
computational software. For modelling the valve ICEM CFD 12 has been used. Valve characteristics
such as flow coefficient and head loss coefficient has been determined using CFX 12 for different valve
opening angle as 30°,60°,75°, and 90° (taking 90°as full opening of the valve) for incompressible fluid.
Value of head loss coefficient obtained from numerical analysis has been compared with the
experimental results.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

(Savings in India)
India’s offshore operator decide to complete three zone well within economic restraints of a
marginal field. They sought to reduce CAPEX by using already purchased equipment and
optimum return on their investment through control of each zone independently.
•Completion choices- Sliding sleeves and Surface Controlled downhole flow control system.
•Problem-
1. Sliding sleeve requires interventions to shift them and to bring these wells online they would
have to perform coiled tubing-conveyed acid treatments across each zone individually.
2. Treating all zones at once would have result in most of acid entering in one permeable zone
and leaving the other two untreated.
3. Its not possible to isolate each zone using SCSFS because three have required more hydraulic
lines than existing penetrations in company own wellhead.
12. 4/13/2016 12

2. Surface Controlled downhole downhole FCV’s were deployed across three zones
using single hydraulic lines.
3. Zonal Isolation is achieved using cased hole packer and two swellable packers.
4. Using multidrop module , its possible to open one zone and while other two were
closed .
5. It ensures that acid treatments were reaching their targets.
Savings-
1. The elimination of three out of four control lines required by traditional system and
need of coil tubing based interventions saved operator’s three week of rig time.
2. Operator optimized production at 165% of the originally expected rates and saved $1
million within first two months following system installation.

section of the main bore and upper lateral of the smart multilateral wells:
◗◗ Facilitate uniform inflow across the entire horizontal production section of both the
main bore and upper lateral.
◗◗ Control water production from relatively high-permeability layers upon water
breakthrough.
◗◗ Allow automatic adjustment to compensate for changes in well inflow profile over
the production life of wells.
◗◗ Provide uniform sweep efficiency across sand face.
◗◗Minimize annular flow.
◗◗ Minimize pressure drop through ICD housing to improve flowing bottomhole
pressure (FBHP) in main bore and upper lateral.
◗◗ Minimize bypassed-oil regions, and maximize oil recovery.
◗◗ Maximize production life of wells.
