    Analyses and Applications of Pressure, Flowrate, and Temperature Measurements During a Perforating Run

    No full text
    A recent development, described in this paper, is a perforating tool that makes real-time downhole measurements during a perforating run and has the capability of selectively firing a number of guns at different depths or times. These measurements include pressure, flow rate, temperature, GR, CCL, and cable tension. The simultaneous downhole measurement, in addition to providing better control of the perforating process, can in a single trip provide a production log, conventional well tests before and after perforating, and a fill-up or slug test soon after perforating for underbalanced conditions. Thus, the completion can be evaluated in real time and while the gun is still in hole, needed remedial reperforating may be performed

    No full text
    Background: Wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt amyloidosis) is primarily diagnosed in elderly men but diagnoses in younger patients and women have recently increased. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine age- and sex-related differences in patients with ATTRwt amyloidosis enrolled in the THAOS (Transthyretin Amyloidosis Outcomes Survey). Methods: THAOS was a global, longitudinal, observational survey of patients with transthyretin amyloidosis, including both hereditary and wild-type disease, and asymptomatic carriers of pathogenic transthyretin gene variants. Patient characteristics at enrollment were analyzed by age at enrollment and sex (data cutoff date: August 1, 2022). Results: Of 1,251 patients with ATTRwt amyloidosis, 13.7%, 49.1%, 34.5%, and 2.8% were aged <70 years, 70 to 79 years, 80 to 89 years, and ≥90 years, respectively. The proportion of women increased with age, from 4.1% in patients aged <70 years to 14.3% in patients aged ≥90 years. In the respective age groups, median time from symptom onset to diagnosis overall (male, female) was 1.7 (1.3, 5.2), 2.0 (2.0, 2.2), 1.8 (1.9, 0.8), and 0.7 (0.6, 2.5) years. A Karnofsky Performance Status score ≤70 was observed in 17.1%, 30.1%, 46.1%, and 44.4% of patients aged <70 years, 70 to 79 years, 80 to 89 years, and ≥90 years, respectively. Conclusions: In this THAOS analysis of patients with ATTRwt amyloidosis, patients were diagnosed an average of 2 years after symptom onset, with the greatest diagnostic delay in women aged <70 years at 5 years. Patients were predominantly men, but the proportion of women increased with age. A substantial proportion of patients had significant functional impairment regardless of age.

    The role of the social network structure on the spread of intensive agriculture: an example from Navarre, Spain

    No full text
    Social networks influence decision-making in agricultural landscapes by affecting how farmers access knowledge and resources. However, researchers ignore the disparate structures built to access different kinds of knowledge and resources and the social mechanisms that take place on such farmers advice networks. We explored the role of social networks in decision-making among farmers in Navarre (Spain) to understand how and why some practices spread among farming communities. Social network analysis allows us to understand how farmers in this region share both knowledge and resources, and the potential implications of this sharing for the landscape. We find that large-scale farmers undertaking intensive land management are at the core of the network in this region, controlling the flow of knowledge and resources related to farm management, policy, technology, and finance. The central position of these farmers in the social network, and their reputation, is key to the spread of intensive farming practices in the region, which ultimately may lead to homogenization of local agricultural landscapes. Understanding farmer network structures in a context of agricultural intensification can help tease out the social mechanisms, such as farmers joining each other in cooperatives, behind the spread of agricultural practices. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.Many thanks to all the participants, especially to the lead author?s host Patxi Sueskun, and the people from the local cooperative: Rogelio Rodriguez, Andrea Ayestaran, and Leire Elorz.

    Analyses and Applications of Pressure, Flow Rate, and Temperature Measurements During a Perforating Run

    Perforating technology has undergone significant advances during the last decade. Tubing-conveyed perforating, under-balanced perforating, high-shot-density guns, better shaped charges, and improved gun systems have contributed to safer operations and improved productivity of the perforated completions. A recent development described in this paper is a perforating tool that makes real-time downhole measurements [including pressure, flow rate, temperature, gamma ray, casing-collar locator (CCL), and cable tension] during a perforating run and can selectively fire a number of guns at different depths or times. In addition to providing better control of the perforating process, the simultaneous downhole measurements can provide in a single trip a production log, conventional well tests before and after perforating, and a fill-up or slug test soon after perforating for underbalanced conditions. Thus, the completion can be evaluated in real time and any needed remedial reperforating can be performed while the gun is still in the hole. Other applications include limited-entry perforating, monitoring of bottomhole pressure (BHP) during minifracture jobs, better depth control with a gamma ray detector, fluid-level monitoring, and underbalance control. The applications of these measurements, with field data obtained with the Measurement While Perforating (MWPSM) tool, are the subject of this paper. Examples show the capabilities and the versatility of the MWP tool

    Performance of Perforated Completions in the Presence of Anisotropy Laminations or Natural Fractures

    No full text
    Finite-element method (FEM) was used to evaluate the steady-state flow response of the near-wellbore region in the presence of anisotropy, shale laminations, and natural fractures. The relative importance of various geometric perforation parameters under such conditions was also examined. The study indicated that completion efficiency is strongly influenced by common heterogeneities. The variation in productivity is substantial and emphasizes the importance of including a good description of the formation heterogeneities in the design and evaluation of a perforating program. The best description is derived by use of data from all available sources (cores, well tests, and logs). The principal findings of this study are discussed

    A machine learning approach with verification of predictions and assisted supervision for a rule-based network intrusion detection system

    No full text
    Network security is a branch of network management in which network intrusion detection systems provide attack detection features by monitorization of traffic data. Rule-based misuse detection systems use a set of rules or signatures to detect attacks that exploit a particular vulnerability. These rules have to be handcoded by experts to properly identify vulnerabilities, which results in misuse detection systems having limited extensibility. This paper proposes a machine learning layer on top of a rule-based misuse detection system that provides automatic generation of detection rules, prediction verification and assisted classification of new data. Our system offers an overall good performance, while adding an heuristic and adaptive approach to existing rule-based misuse detection systems

    Mechanochemistry of phosphate esters confined between sliding iron surfaces

    No full text
    The molecular structure of lubricant additives controls not only their adsorption and dissociation behaviour at the nanoscale, but also their ability to reduce friction and wear at the macroscale. Here, we show using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with a reactive force field that tri(s-butyl)phosphate dissociates much faster than tri(n-butyl)phosphate when heated and compressed between sliding iron surfaces. For both molecules, dissociative chemisorption proceeds through cleavage of carbon−oxygen bonds. The dissociation rate increases exponentially with temperature and stress. When the rate−temperature−stress data are fitted with the Bell model, both molecules have similar activation energies and activation volumes and the higher reactivity of tri(s-butyl)phosphate is due to a larger pre-exponential factor. These observations are consistent with experiments using the antiwear additive zinc dialkyldithiophosphate. This study represents a crucial step towards the virtual screening of lubricant additives with different substituents to optimise tribological performance
