Summary This article seeks to lay a more solid foundation for the contemporary paradigm shift in the Christian theological thinking – that is, from theo-anthropology to theo-cosmology. In the new paradigm cosmic hope for the completion of the trinitarian project of creation, instead of human redemption from sin and death, comes to the fore as the most comprehensive horizon of Christian thinking. For this purpose the author reconstructs the underlying logic of the biblical faith in a narrative form from creation to eschatology.

Full textAbstract:
The current study investigated non-culminating accomplishments through an experimental lens. We used a well-established paradigm for studying real-time language processing using eye-tracking, the visual world paradigm. Our study was modeled after Altmann and Kamide’s (2007) investigation of processing of aspectual information contained in a perfect verb form (e.g., has eaten). We compared English-speaking adults’ interpretations of sentences like ‘The girl has eaten a cookie’ and ‘The girl was eating a cookie’ in the context of one of two visual scenes. In the Full Completion condition, the scene depicted two referents that were compatible with the predicate: one was compatible with the expected end state of the event (e.g., an empty plate), the other with an unrealized version of the event (e.g., an uneaten cookie). In the Partial Completion condition, the scene depicted a referent that was compatible with a partially-completed version of the event (e.g., part of a cookie on a plate) and an unrealized interpretation (e.g., an uneaten cookie). For verb forms in the perfect (e.g., has eaten) but not in the progressive, we found a difference between conditions; listeners preferred to look at the fully-affected referent in the Full Completion condition as compared to the partially-affected referent in the Partial Completion condition. We take the results as suggestive in favor of a pragmatic rather than semantic account of non-culmination interpretations in English.

There are many examples where geometry and gravity are concepts that emerge from a theory of quantum mechanics without gravity. This suggests thinking of gravity as an exotic phase of matter. Quantifying this phase in the Landau paradigm requires some sort of symmetry principle or order parameter that captures its appearance. In this essay, we propose higher-form symmetries as a symmetry principle underlying emergent spacetime. We explore higher-form symmetries in gauge–gravity duality and explain how their breaking describes features of gravitational theory. Such symmetries imply the existence of nonlocal objects in the gravitational theory — in gauge–gravity duality these are the strings and branes of the bulk theory — giving an alternative way to understand the nonlocality necessary in any ultraviolet completion of gravity.

Full textAbstract:
Visual illusions and perceptual grouping phenomena offer an invaluable tool for probing the computational mechanism of low-level visual processing. Some illusions, like the Kanizsa figure, reveal illusory contours that form edges collinear with the inducing stimulus. This kind of illusory contour has been modeled by neural network models by way of cells equipped with elongated spatial receptive fields designed to detect and complete the collinear alignment. There are, however, other illusory groupings which are not so easy to account for in neural network terms. The Ehrenstein illusion exhibits an illusory contour that forms a contour orthogonal to the stimulus instead of collinear with it. Other perceptual grouping effects reveal illusory contours that exhibit a sharp corner or vertex, and still others take the form of vertices defined by the intersection of three, four, or more illusory contours that meet at a point. A direct extension of the collinear completion models to account for these phenomena tends towards a combinatorial explosion, because it would suggest cells with specialized receptive fields configured to perform each of those completion types, each of which would have to be replicated at every location and every orientation across the visual field. These phenomena therefore challenge the adequacy of the neural network approach to account for these diverse perceptual phenomena. I have proposed elsewhere an alternative paradigm of neurocomputation in the harmonic resonance theory (Lehar 1999, see website), whereby pattern recognition and completion are performed by spatial standing waves across the neural substrate. The standing waves perform a computational function analogous to that of the spatial receptive fields of the neural network approach, except that, unlike that paradigm, a single resonance mechanism performs a function equivalent to a whole array of spatial receptive fields of different spatial configurations and of different orientations, and thereby avoids the combinatorial explosion inherent in the older paradigm. The present paper presents the directional harmonic model, a more specific development of the harmonic resonance theory, designed to account for specific perceptual grouping phenomena. Computer simulations of the directional harmonic model show that it can account for collinear contours as observed in the Kanizsa figure, orthogonal contours as seen in the Ehrenstein illusion, and a number of illusory vertex percepts composed of two, three, or more illusory contours that meet in a variety of configurations.

Full textAbstract:
This paper considers parallel machine scheduling with incompatibilities between jobs. The jobs form a graph equivalent to a collection of disjoint cliques. No two jobs in a clique are allowed to be assigned to the same machine. Scheduling with incompatibilities between jobs represents a well-established line of research in scheduling theory and the case of disjoint cliques has received increasing attention in recent years. While the research up to this point has been focused on the makespan objective, we broaden the scope and study the classical total completion time criterion. In the setting without incompatibilities, this objective is well-known to admit polynomial time algorithms even for unrelated machines via matching techniques. We show that the introduction of incompatibility cliques results in a richer, more interesting picture. We prove that scheduling on identical machines remains solvable in polynomial time, while scheduling on unrelated machines becomes APX-hard. Next, we study the problem under the paradigm of fixed-parameter tractable algorithms (FPT). In particular, we consider a problem variant with assignment restrictions for the cliques rather than the jobs. We prove that, despite still being APX-hard, it can be solved in FPT time with respect to the number of cliques. Moreover, we show that the problem on unrelated machines can be solved in FPT time for reasonable parameters, in particular, the parameter combination: maximum processing time, number of job kinds, and number of machines or maximum processing time, number of job kinds, and number of cliques. The latter results are extensions of known results for the case without incompatibilities, and can even be further extended to the case of total weighted completion time. All of the FPT results make use of n-fold Integer Programs that recently received great attention by proving their usefulness for scheduling problems.

Yarkeev, A. V. "Miracle as Theological Paradigm of Sovereign Power." Journal of Political Theory, Political Philosophy and Sociology of Politics Politeia 100, no. 1 (March 11, 2021): 27–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.30570/2078-5089-2021-100-1-27-43.
Full textAbstract:
The article justifies the approach to the essence of sovereign power from the point of view of the Western Christian theological paradigm. In this regard, the author considers the “miraculous” aspect of the power of the sovereign, derived from the idea of the absolute power of God, whose volitional decision is capable of limiting/suspending the operation of natural laws in the manifested form of a miracle. In the most general sense, a miracle is understood as a divine act that is extraordinary (exceptional) in nature, an act that interrupts the usual phenomenological series, proclaims the will of God and has the property of “salvation”. Thus, the theological concept of a miracle turns out to be a paradigm of secular sovereign power, based on the exclusive right to decide on a state of emergency. The concept of sovereignty, which includes the notion of the absoluteness and indivisibility of the supreme power, has a theological origin, since absolute power can only be an attribute of an absolute being, that is, God. The secularization and politicization of theological concepts build sovereign power on the basis of the equality between the sovereign and God, giving the state ruler the place that God occupied in the universe. The personified image of the sovereign represents a logically necessary completion of the hierarchical system of power. The transformation of the monarchic principle of sovereign power into the people’s democratic one leads to the formation of an administrative-bureaucratic state, where the criterion of sovereignty is not legitimacy, but the effectiveness of managerial actions, which involves the permanent use of emergency measures. The “salvation” of God’s miraculous actions finds its manifestation in the “salvific” purpose of emergency measures aimed at ensuring public safety by preventing fictitious threats. The totalization of the threat establishes a mode of functioning of the sovereign power, which within an exception to the law (“a miracle”) becomes equal to the law.

Full textAbstract:
For Ukraine, restoring and ensuring the sustainable growth of the national economy through the involvement of, first and foremost, internal factors become extremely important. Therefore, finding out the causes of unsustainable economic growth is an important task of economic science. It is shown that Ukraine’s economy entered a phase of unsustainable growth due to exhaustion of the potential of restorative growth, reduction of the flow of export earnings and foreign capital and increase of external debt. The nature of recessions and upsurges in various economic models is researched. It is found that the national economy is in a state of prolonged recession replaced by minor upsurges, which gives rise to the illusion of overcoming the crisis. It is proved that for Ukraine’s economy there persists a threat to remain in the parameters of stagnation and small growth. The nature of transformation cycle, which includes two phases, is disclosed. Such a cycle determines the boundaries of transition period. The completion of recession and the transition to a stage of sustainable growth are possible only when the mechanism of the capitalist reproductive cycle of industrial capital is launched. It is concluded that the industrial cycle is an immanent form of development of new equipment and technology in a market economy. It is acknowledged that during the years of market transformation, the contradictions inherent in the transition period are not solved. These unresolved contradictions have become essential features of the existing model of capitalism in Ukraine, which give it a specifically historical identity. It is noted that the deep causes of the crisis of the Ukrainian model are embodied in the system of social reproduction of industrial capital, which, under conditions of market mechanisms, caused a sharp contraction of manufacturing industries and expansion of the raw material sectors. The proposition is justified that a way out of current problems and transition to the sustainable development trajectory are possible on the basis of a new model that would combine market and state-regulated principles. The necessity to develop the comprehensive plan for updating the material and technological structure of the national economy is substantiated.

Full textAbstract:
Evolutionary and spiral acquisition are currently trends in use for acquisitions where the outcomes are uncertain. This paper looks beyond these processes to a concept emphasising trust and transparency within a transaction cost paradigm trust contracting. The evidence suggests that in this experimental trust contracting case study, there was a transaction cost advantage to the buyer of 55% over that of existing high tech acquisition processes. Where the end product (good or service) is largely unknown at the time of contract signature, trust contracting provides transparency and contractual safeguards for both contracting parties, and offers an alternative form of corporate governance which makes use of trust to improve buyer-seller relationships and outcomes for both, allocates risk according to the party best placed to carry the risk, speeds completion of contractual arrangements, and reduces transaction costs for both parties.

Full textAbstract:
This article brings within two purposes. First it validated the scale of the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) and then analyzed the ecocentrist and anthropocentric attitudes of university students from a Brazilian higher education institution. The original NPE scale of 15 items was used, in the form of a questionnaire and applied in a sample of 241 university students. Before the self-completion of the questionnaires, the university students did not receive the basic concepts of environmental attitudes. Confirmatory factor analysis techniques were used to test the structural model and statistical procedures to describe the sample as to its properties of similarities between the groups of students. The NEP was reduced to 13 items, proving to be reliable and valid to investigate structured and multidimensional environmental attitudes of university students. When analyzing the segmentation of university students, it was identified that women presented a more intense ecocentrist attitude than men. For the other segmentation groups in relation to age range, area of knowledge, semester in progress and course period, they did not present statistically significant differences. However, overall, the scores of university students indicated more ecocentrist than anthropocentrist attitudes. The convenience sample of part of the courses offered by the higher education institution may cause a bias in the research, considering as a limitation of this study. However, with the confirmation of the two-factor model, the results indicate consistency and guide future research to activities related to the environment, such as sustainable tourism, preservation against environmental impacts, among others.

Full textAbstract:
Attention is known to modulate itch intensity. In contrast, the reverse relationship, i.e. the degree to which the presence of an acute itch affects attention, is currently not well understood. The aims of this study were to investigate whether acute itch induces an attentional bias towards or away from visual itch-related stimuli, and if so, whether it occurs in the early or later stages of processing. A volunteer sample of 60 healthy individuals were subjected to a skin prick (either histamine or placebo), followed by completion of a spatial cueing paradigm using itch-related and neutral words as cues, in order to obtain reaction time estimates of attentional bias. The results suggest that experience of acute itch induces attentional avoidance of visual itch threats. This attentional avoidance occurs at a later processing stage in the form of facilitated disengagement of attention from itch and/or delayed disengagement from neutral information.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether learning a meaningless phonological word-form, can affect its ability to compete with other words shortly after it was learned. According to previous experimental work we expected that a semantic referent (Leach & Samuel, 2007), and/or consolidation over a significant amount of time (Gaskell& Dumay, 2003) are necessary for a novel word-form to be able to engage in lateral inhibition with other words. In order to examine this we used the experimental design that was used by Dahan, Magnuson, Tanenhaus and Hogan (2001). Experiment 1 was a replication of the Dahan et al (2001) study. In Experiment 2 we added a condition in which a novel word was now assigned the role of the competitor, by inserting a nonword learning task (that was performed right before the Dahan task). The goal was to see whether any differences would arise between this new novel-word condition and the nonword condition. The results from Experiment 2 were inconclusive due to the stimulus set and this is why we conducted Experiment 3, which was similar to Experiment 2, but had a different stimulus set. The results of Experiment 3 showed that, in contrast to the predictions, a novel word can compete with other words, even if it does not have meaning and, moreover, this happens immediately after training. These findings indicate that 1) a word does not have to be complete (i.e. include semantic information) in order to compete with other words and 2) connections between novel and known words can form faster than what has been suggested.

In the brain, every cortical inter-area feedforward projection shares a reciprocal feedback connection. Despite its pervasive nature in the brain, our understanding of the functional role of neural feedback in form perception remains incomplete, particularly in behaving animals. This problem is addressed in humans with a novel form completion paradigm. Seven subjects (5 female) had their EEG waveforms analysed using three linear models showing non-significant differences between stimulus conditions designed to produce differences by manipulating neural feedback to V1. Two of these subjects (one female), in addition to EEG waveforms, had combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) cortical maps that allowed anatomically close areas such as V1 and V2 to have their signals decomposed and neural feedback inferred. Differences between stimulus conditions arose once signals had been divided into V1 and V2. Significant differences (p < .05) for one subject in V1 and V2 suggests cortical interactions at 100ms and 350ms. This suggests the form completion paradigm has utility at investigating the influence of the V2 far receptive field surround on V1, given future given signal to noise issues are resolved.

AbstractHaptic guidance in teleoperation (e.g. of robotic systems) is a pioneering approach to successfully combine automation and human competencies. In the current user study, various forms of haptic guidance were evaluated in terms of user performance and experience. Twenty-six participants completed an obstacle avoidance task and a peg-in-hole task in a virtual environment using a seven DoF force feedback device. Three types of haptic guidance (translational, rotational, combination of both, i.e. 6 DoF) and three guidance forces and torques (stiffnesses) were compared. Moreover, a secondary task paradigm was utilized to explore the effects of additional cognitive load. The results show that haptic guidance significantly improves performance (i.e. completion times, collision forces). Best results were obtained when the guidance forces were set to a medium or high value. Additionally, feelings of control were significantly increased during higher cognitive load conditions when being supported by translational haptic guidance.

AbstractCloud manufacturing (CMfg) is a service-oriented manufacturing paradigm that distributes resources in an on-demand business model. In the cloud manufacturing environment, scheduling is considered as an effective tool for satisfying customer requirements which has attracted attention from researchers. In this case, quality of service (QoS) in the scheduling plays a vital role in assessing the impacts of the distributed resources in operation on the performance of scheduling functions. In this paper, a queuing system is employed to model the scheduling problem with multiple servers and then scheduling in cloud manufacturing is classified based on various QoS requirements. Moreover, a set of heavy traffic limit theorems is introduced as a new approach to solving this scheduling problem in which different heavy traffic limits are provided for each of QoS-based scheduling classes. Finally, the number of operational resources in the scheduling is determined by considering the results obtained in the numerical analysis of the heavy traffic limit with different queue disciplines. The results show that different numbers of active machines in various QoS requirements classes play a vital role in that the required QoS metrics such as the expected waiting time and the expected completion time which are critical performance indicators of the cloud’s service are intimately related.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the contributions of Proclus to the completion of the Platonic project. Proclus, living some two hundred years after Plotinus, extended the systematization of Platonism. Moreover, it is Proclus, in part through Pseudo-Dionysius, and in part through the Liber de Causis, who served as the gateway to Platonism for the next millennium. Proclus was at once full of admiration for Plotinus as an exegete of Plato and also frequently critical of him. As seen in both Plato and Plotinus, the fundamental systematic law of Platonism is expressed as “remaining,” “procession,” and “reversion.” In his Elements of Theology, Proclus connects the procession with the distinction between cause and condition in Phaedo and cause and accessory to the cause in Timaeus. The chapter then details the analytic prowess Proclus shows in discovering a deep problem in the systematic construction of Platonism. This is a problem that Proclus's student, Damascius, exploits in a remarkable way.

Full textAbstract:
Cloud computing brings convenience and cost efficiency to users, but multiplexing virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical machine (PM) results in various cybersecurity risks. For example, a co-resident attack could occur when malicious VMs use shared resources on the hosting PM to control or gain unauthorized access to other benign VMs. Most task schedulers do not contribute to both resource management and risk control. This article studies how to minimize the co-resident risks while optimizing the VM completion time through designing efficient VM allocation policies. A zero-trust threat model is defined with a set of co-resident risk mitigation parameters to support this argument and assume that all VMs are malicious. In order to reduce the chances of co-residency, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is adopted to decide the VM allocation strategy. An effective cost function is developed to guide the reinforcement learning (RL) policy training. Compared with other traditional scheduling paradigms, the proposed system achieves plausible mitigation of co-resident attacks with a relatively small VM slowdown ratio.

This chapter examines the partnerships and holistic and developmental process of Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) for Higher Education in two community colleges. Innovative leadership practices and partnerships by administrators, faculty and staff to improve institution and workforce success are at the center of these two community college case studies. Real implementation challenges such as student persistence and participation, faculty buy-in, were faced. Supporting career and technology education plus new approaches in teaching were part of the paradigm shift that contributed to the overall success of students and faculty participating in AVID for Higher Education (AHE). The study uses the AHE framework as a system for community colleges to leverage rigor and skill development for a global workforce. This case study highlights the work to improve faculty pedagogy and engagement and support historically underrepresented students to continue the improvement of college completion, transition and be workforce ready.

Heads of departments (HoDs) play a central role in managing teaching and learning in the schools. Moreover, good leadership contributes to school improvement and to learner achievement, especially in mathematics. South African mathematics achievement levels are still regarded as the lowest. The purpose of the chapter is to explore HoDs' management of the mathematics curriculum and challenges encountered during COVID-19. This investigation was situated within the qualitative research paradigm. A comprehensive literature review method was incorporated as an approach to collect, analyse, and interpret data. Themes of focus included managing the mathematics curriculum, resources availability, intervention strategies for teaching and learning during COVID-19, curriculum completion management, record keeping, teacher development, and learner support, among others. The present study seeks to problematise the notion that HoDs do not seem to have a good understanding of curriculum management with particular focus on mathematics in the schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Twenty-first century demands students with critical thinking, digital and other soft skills, and capable of self-directed and self-determined learning. This chapter presents an educational design project, which focused on the development of a history online course for children of pre-primary level and the first grades of primary school, based on the constructivist paradigm of learning. Educational design research was carried out to explore how young children can respond to the demands of a contemporary online course, pursue the online course with growing confidence and independence, and earn history in a meaningful way, while developing twenty-first century skills at the same time. Data were collected by quantitative and qualitative methods and analysis showed that both pre-primary and primary school children responded remarkably well and managed to complete the online course with minimum parental support. They improved their knowledge and displayed critical thinking skills. Children showed no major difficulties in using the digital environment and expressed positive attitudes toward e-learning. The role of parents was also monitored and analyzed since it emerged as a critical factor in the successful completion of the course.

Abstract Since the inception of hydraulic fracturing, the industry has wrestled with the concept of over/under- flushing, and has always pitched this as a binary philosophy, attempting to determine/define that this is either a fundamentally good or a bad approach. This schism simply grew with the extensive development of unconventionals; the use of overflush being an inherent and fundamental requirement for an effective and economic unconventional completion sequence. This paper will demonstrate that the true answer, as any engineer would expect, is that a detailed assessment is what is required and on a case-by-case basis. The paper will describe and reference several fracturing case histories, in both the Conventional and Unconventional environments, where the application of an overflush, an underflush or an engineered approach have been assessed or applied. Rather than taking an easy headline grabbing route to perpetuate the myth that the process is a major paradigm, or simply either a good or a bad thing. This paper will discuss some of the key aspects that impact the suitability of one approach over another; and how engineering the implementation can lead to a broader range of applicability/suitability for the most economically effective outcome. This includes an appreciation of the production/economic profile and exposure to risk, which is hugely different in say an ultra-deep-water five well offshore development vs. a field development with some 100s – 1,000s of wells in a lower-cost onshore environment. The paper will describe and demonstrate some of the fundamental variables that need to be considered; attempting to elaborate on a few of the key parameters which can influence the effective outcome. The paper will also indicate that there are several different scenarios whereby any form of overflush can result in a detrimental impact on the production rate and EUR, and that these must be fully appreciated. Subtleties, related to reservoir characteristics and fracture geometry; should be examined and appreciated. Additional aspects such as how the production, drawdown and pore-pressure will be managed can also have an impact. All these considerations, and more, will be discussed, described, and referenced. While there is no doubt that the overflush debate will continue unabated, the intent of this paper is to reduce the damage (or uncertainty), one way or the other, that will result. It is an attempt, at a minimum, to ensure that the debate becomes solely a technical one related to the approaches to be taken rather than a black and white one of right or wrong. Ultimately, the paper will advise, and inform, that the approach should be fully considered, engineered in detail and tailored to each and every application and that as a result is no longer simply considered a binary question.

Abstract Re-completion operations with hydraulic workover units (HWO) have been carried out extensively within the industry, showcasing the high level of efficiency and compact footprint offered by this type of equipment. In an offshore environment, with small jacket platforms, the benefits of the use of said equipment are much more relevant and significant in terms of overall positive impact on the projects. However, re-completions with control lines and sensors, or usually referred to as smart-well re-completions had not been performed with HWO units in the past. Having stated this premise, the challenge of performing the first smart well re-completion with an HWO unit presented itself with an additional hurdle, which was the fact that the tubing and control lines had to be cut instead of being able to pull from the production packer. This paper showcases the planning, execution, and results of re-completing a well in one of the top offshore gas-producing platforms in the country. Due to a smaller footprint and the advantage to continue the production from neighboring wells simultaneously, the HWO unit was selected as it represented the best overall value for the customer. The job was performed with additional support from a dynamically positioned (DP-2) vessel and a portable crane for efficient rig up and support during the intervention.

Abstract The development of North Kuwait Jurassic gas assets has strategic importance for Kuwait's production strategy as the only non-associated gas-producing field in Kuwait. This paper demonstrates the benefits, challenges and lessons learned of the recent paradigm shift in Jurassic tight gas wells’ completion strategy from cemented liner to multi-stage completion. Successful expansion of Multi-Stage Completion (MSC) technology is achieved at the field level led by the integrated team efforts in 2020/21, despite challenging constraints of COVID-19. MSC's help to enhance overall well production potential, overcome reservoir and intervention operation challenges, and allow early production delivery, which is a key factor to achieve a strategic asset production target of 70-80% by 2024/25. Many technical and logistic challenges were experienced during first installations of which the relevant learnings will be shared in this paper. The Jurassic gas asset produces mainly from deep high pressure and temperature, conventional and unconventional tight carbonate reservoirs. The recovery from such complex heterogeneous reservoirs is extremely challenging if conventional development strategies are applied. Therefore, a dedicated full development plan applying integrated upstream and downstream technologies is important to achieve the strategic production target. Due to the excessive Jurassic carbonate reservoir tightness, permeability contrast and dual permeability effect (matrix and natural fractures), well productivity potential significantly depends on the effectiveness of subsequent stimulation treatments of such complex heterogeneous reservoirs to improve well productivity and potentially connect with natural fractures. Selecting proper well completion design is critical to overcome such reservoir challenges and ensure effective acid stimulation treatments for the mix of conventional and unconventional formations that need convenient diversion mechanism during stimulation to enhance the productivity of each individual reservoir flow unit and enable selective future flexibility of re-stimulation and reservoir management. The asset team has recently applied a step change in completion strategy to open hole multi-stage ball drop completions using state of the art MSC technologies including closeable frac sleeves, full 3.5-in monobore ID post frac sleeves milling and debris sub enclosure to protect the MSC string during casing tie-back operations. This is to overcome reservoir complexity, eliminate wellbore cleaning and decrease the challenges and risks that accompany multiple perforation intervention operations. As well as, eliminate cement quality risks and uncertainties, improve overall cost, and fast track well delivery to production to meet asset production targets by significantly reducing operation time from approximately one month for plug and perf techniques to less than one week when using continuous and less subsurface intervention operations. Recently, a total of 13 new MSC installations and subsequent multi-stage stimulations were achieved in seven months, fromQ3-2020 to Q1-2021, with positive overall production results, significant improvement of intervention operation efficiency and faster well delivery to production. This paper will describe the details of progress to date, and the plan forward for optimization and new technology trials to further improve well performance.

Abstract North Kuwait Jurassic Gas asset has strategic importance for Kuwait production strategy as the only non-associated gas producing fields in Kuwait. This paper demonstrates the added value, experience, challenges and lessons learned of recent paradigm shift in Jurassic tight gas wells’ completion strategy from cemented liner to multistage completion. A successful expansion of Multi-Stage Completion (MSC) technology has been achieved on field level led by integrated team efforts since early 2020 to date. This helps to enhance overall well production potential, selective stimulation, overcome reservoir and intervention operations challenges, and early production delivery. The Jurassic gas asset produces mainly from deep high pressure and temperature, conventional and unconventional tight carbonate reservoirs. The recovery from such complex heterogeneous reservoirs is extremely challenging if conventional development strategies are applied. Due to the high reservoir tightness, permeability contrast among different flow units and dual permeability effect (matrix and natural fractures), well productivity potential significantly depends on the effectiveness of subsequent stimulation treatments of such complex heterogeneous reservoir to improve well productivity and connect the natural fractures. Selecting proper well completion is critical to overcome such reservoir challenges and ensure efficient acid stimulation treatments of such unconventional formations that need convenient diversion mechanism during the stimulation to enhance the productivity of each individual reservoir layer, and enable future flexibility of selective re-stimulation and reservoir management. The asset team has applied a step change in completion strategy to open-hole HPHT multistage drop-ball completions using state-of-the-art MSC technologies including closable frac ports, full 3.5in monobore post milling and debris sub to protect the MSC string during upper completion operations. This is to overcome such reservoir complexity, eliminate wellbore cleaning and multiple perforation intervention operations challenges and risks, eliminate cement quality uncertainties, improve overall cost, and fast track well delivery to production to meet asset production target by significantly reducing operation time from approximately one month of plug and perf technique to less than one week of continuous and less subsurface intervention operations. Total of 23 new Multi-stage completions were successfully installed in last 2 years including 4 systems in horizontal unconventional Najmah reservoir with overall good production results and significant improvement in selective acid stimulation (matrix and Fracturing), intervention operations efficiency and fast well delivery to production. Therefore, the asset plans to continue expansion in Multi-stage completion strategy. Based on gained experience, an integrated protocol for multi-stage candidate well selection, staging design and installation procedures workflow has been built by the integrated multidisciplinary team to ensure standard process across fields which can be used for application in other fields.

"Paradigm Shift in Completion Limits: Open Hole Gravel Pack in Highly Depleted Reservoirs Drilled with Well Bore Strengthening Technology." In SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completions have been the primary completion type for production wells in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field in Azerbaijan for 20 years. In recent years, it has been required to use well bore strengthening mud systems to allow drilling the more depleted parts of the field. This paper describes the major engineering effort that was undertaken to develop systems and techniques that would allow the successful installation of OHGP completions in this environment. OHGP completions have evolved over the last 3 decades, significantly increasing the window of suitable installation environments such that if a well could be drilled it could, in most cases, be completed as an OHGP if desired. Drilling fluids technology has also advanced to allow the drilling of highly depleted reservoirs with the development of well bore strengthening mud systems which use oversized solids in the mud system to prevent fracture propagation. This paper describes laboratory testing and development of well construction procedures to allow OHGPs to be successfully installed in wells drilled with well bore strengthening mud systems. Laboratory testing results showed that low levels of formation damage could be achieved in OHGPs using well bore strengthening mud systems that are comparable to those drilled with conventional mud systems. These drilling fluid formulations along with the rigorous mud conditioning and well clean-up practices that were developed were first implemented in mid-2019 and have now been used in 6 OHGP wells. All 6 wells showed that suitable levels of drilling mud cleanliness could be achieved with limited additional time added to the well construction process and operations and all of them have robust sand control reliability and technical limit skins. Historically it was thought that productive, reliable OHGP completions could not be delivered when using well bore strengthening mud systems due to the inability to effectively produce back filter cakes with large solids through the gravel pack and the ability to condition the mud system to allow sand screen deployment without plugging occurring. The engineering work and field results presented demonstrate that these hurdles can be overcome through appropriate fluid designs and well construction practices.
