Abstract:
This study focuses on Monte Carlo Methods in parameter estimation of production function. The ordinary least square (OLS) method is used to estimate the unknown parameters. The Monte Carlo simulation methods are used for the data generating process. The Cobb-Douglas production model with multiplicative error term is fitted to the data generated. From tables 1.1 to 1.3, the mean square error (MSE) of 1 are 0.007678, 0.001972 and 0.001253 respectively for sample sizes 20, 40 and 80. Our finding showed that the mean square error (MSE) value varies with the sum of the powers of the input variables.

Abstract:
The potential output and output gap concepts are important tools for central banks, and in particular the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO), to forecast inflation in pursuit of their priority objective of inflation control. The choice of a method for estimating inflation is a delicate one. This paper proposes an estimation of potential output by the unobservable component methods, Watson's (1986) and Kuttner's (1994) approach, and by an economic modelling method, namely the Bayesian structural VAR. It also proposes a comparison of these different methods with the production function, which is widely used in the literature and recognized as the best method for estimating potential output for WAEMU countries. The results indicate that the different approaches as well as the production function explain the different crisis periods identified within the union. The comparative analysis, against all expectations, reveals that only the output gap obtained by the production function does not explain inflation.

Abstract:
Hiunde (Boro) rice has not been popularized due to least attention given to this crop in Nepal. Inorder to estimate the production function of this crop, a field survey in Morang district during2002/2003 was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire. The primary information wascollected through face to face interview. The result of the empirical model of Cobb-Douglasproduction function revealed the model significant at 1% level and defined 95% variation inHiunde rice production due to variation in independent variables included in the model. Thecoefficient of area, nitrogen, phosphorous, and tractor hour were found significant at 1% levelwhile the dummy for more than 10 times of irrigation was significant at 5% level and up to 10times of irrigation and potash was significant at 10% level. The effect of human and bullocklabor was found non-significant. Among the sampled farmers the average cropping intensity was194% and average yield of Hiunde rice was 4802.50 kg/ha. On an average 131 kg of nitrogen,phosphorous and potash was applied for one ha and 15 irrigations in average. The net benefitfrom Hiunde rice was found to be Rs. 14507.41/ha with 1.73 benefit cost ratio. About 31% costwas incurred in land preparation and transplanting which was highest among the operations. Itwas followed by the costs incurred in fertilizers and agrochemicals which counted 23%.Key words: Estimate; Hiunde rice; production functionDOI: 10.3126/narj.v7i0.1874Nepal Agriculture Research Journal Vol.7 2006 pp.88-97

Abstract:
Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Economics, May, 2020
Cataloged from the official PDF of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-201).
This first chapter develops a new method for estimating production functions with factor-augmenting technology and assesses its economic implications. The method does not impose parametric restrictions and generalizes prior approaches that rely on the CES production function. I first extend the canonical Olley-Pakes framework to accommodate factor-augmenting technology. Then, I show how to identify output elasticities based on a novel control variable approach and the optimality of input expenditures. I use this method to estimate output elasticities and markups in manufacturing industries in the US and four developing countries. Neglecting labor-augmenting productivity and imposing parametric restrictions mismeasures output elasticities and heterogeneity in the production function. My estimates suggest that standard models (i) underestimate capital elasticity by up to 70 percent (ii) overestimate labor elasticity by up to 80 percent.
These biases propagate into markup estimates inferred from output elasticities: markups are overestimated by 20 percentage points. Finally, heterogeneity in output elasticities also affects estimated trends in markups: my estimates point to a much more muted markup growth (about half) in the US manufacturing sector than recent estimates. The second chapter develops partial identification results that are robust to deviations from the commonly used control function approach assumptions and measurement errors in inputs. In particular, the model (i) allows for multi-dimensional unobserved heterogeneity,(ii) relaxes strict monotonicity to weak monotonicity, (iii) accommodates a more flexible timing assumption for capital. I show that under these assumptions production function parameters are partially identified by an 'imperfect proxy' variable via moment inequalities. Using these moment inequalities, I derive bounds on the parameters and propose an estimator.
An empirical application is presented to quantify the informativeness of the identified set. The third chapter develops an approach in which endogenous networks is a source of identification in estimations with network data. In particular, I study a linear model where network data can be used to control for unobserved heterogeneity and partially identify the parameters of the linear model. My method does not rely on a parametric model of network formation. Instead, identification is achieved by assuming that the network satisfies latent homophily - the tendency of individuals to be linked with others who are similar to themselves. I first provide two definitions of homophily: weak and strong homophily. Then, based on these definitions, I characterize the identified sets and show that they are bounded under weak conditions.
Finally, to illustrate the method in an empirical setting, I estimate the effects of education on risk preferences and peer effects using social network data from 150 Chinese villages.

Abstract:
Robustness of DEA scale efficiency scores is investigared in the context of non-radial efficency measures. Most efficient scales are identified with DEA's refernce firms instead of traditional clustering techniques.The systematic difference between single- and multi-output technologies as concerns most efficient scales is then examined by comparing applied DEA results. These provide evidence in favor of my proposition, that single-output techniques, like stochastic production function estimation, yield upwardly biased most efficient scales.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Econometria Aplicada e Previsão
Vários estudos econométricos procuram explicar os determinantes da criação de conhecimento usando como variável dependente o número de patenteamentos numa região. Alguns destes procuram captar os efeitos de Knowledge Spillovers através de modelos lineares que incorporam dependência espacial. No entanto, nenhum estudo foi encontrado que captasse este efeito, tendo em atenção a natureza discreta da variável dependente. Este trabalho pretende preencher essa lacuna propondo um novo estimador de máxima verosimilhança a dois passos para um modelo Poisson Autorregressivo Espacial. As propriedades do estimador são avaliadas num conjunto de simulações de Monte Carlo. Os resultados sugerem que este estimador tem menor Bias e menor RMSE, na generalidade, que outros estimadores propostos, sendo que apenas mostra piores resultados quando a dependência espacial é próxima da unidade. Um exemplo empírico, empregando o novo estimador e um conjunto de estimadores alternativos, é realizado, sendo que a criação de conhecimento em 234 NUTS II de 24 países europeus é analisada. Os resultados evidenciam que existe uma forte dependência espacial na criação de inovação entre as regiões. Conclui-se também que o ambiente socioeconómico é essencial para o processo de formação de conhecimento e que contrariamente às instituições públicas, as empresas privadas são eficientes na produção de inovação. É de realçar, que regiões com menor capacidade em transformar despesas R&D em patenteamentos apresentam maior capacidade de absorção e segregação de conhecimento, evidenciando que regiões vizinhas menos eficientes na produção de conhecimento tendem a criar relações fortalecidas na partilha de conhecimento.
Several econometric studies seek to explain the determinants of knowledge production using as dependent variable the number of patents in a region. Some of these capture the effects of knowledge spillovers through linear models with spatial autorregressive term. However, no study has been found that estimates such effect while also considering the discrete nature of the dependent variable: a count variable. This essay aims to fill this gap by proposing a new Two-step Maximum Likelihood estimator for a Spatial Autorregressive Poisson model. The properties of this estimator are evaluated in a set of Monte Carlo Experiments. The simulation results suggest that this estimator presents lower Bias and lower RMSE than the alternative estimators proposed, only showing worse results when the spatial dependence is close to the unit. An empirical example, using the new estimator and a set of alternative estimators, is executed, where the creation of knowledge in 234 NUTS II from 24 European countries is analyzed. The results show that there is a strong spatial dependence on the creation of innovation. It is also concluded that the socio-economic environment is essential for the knowledge formation and, unlike public R&D institutions, private companies are efficient in producing innovation. It should be noted that regions with less capacity to transform R&D expenses into new patents, have greater capacity for absorption and segregation of knowledge, which shows that neighboring regions less efficient in the production of knowledge tend to create strong relations with each other taking advantage of the knowledge sharing process.

Abstract:
La fonction de production des entreprises lie leur niveau de production à leurs dépenses en facteurs de production. Son estimation est à la fois importante et peu fiable. Importante, parce que des indicateurs clés pour la conception des politiques publiques, tels que le taux de marge, en découlent. Peu fiable, car elle repose sur des hypothèses d'identification.Ce projet étudie les hypothèses qui sous-tendent l'estimation des fonctions de production : à la fois leurs formes fonctionnelles et la flexibilité des facteurs de production. Il s'appuie ensuite sur une estimations des fonctions de production des entreprises françaises, pour évaluer l'évolution de leur taux de marge et de la part du travail dans leur valeur ajoutée au cours des 30 dernières années.Le chapitre 1 conforte l'hypothèse de flexibilité des facteurs de production: l'ajustement instantané des matières premières ou du travail et l'ajustement retardé du capital. Nous nous appuyons sur l'existence de notches ; des valeurs où les bénéfices après impôt diminuent avec le chiffre d’affaire avant impôt dans le code des impôts français.Nous montrons que les entreprises qui optimisent ont une plus grande élasticité de production par rapport aux matières premières et une plus faible élasticité de la production par rapport au capital. De même, pour ajuster leur production, les entreprises ont tendance à réduire principalement leurs dépenses en matières premières.Le chapitre 2 s’appuie sur le résultat du chapitre 1 pour mesurer le taux de marge de toutes les entreprises françaises entre 1984-2016. De Loecker et Warzynski (2012) montrent que la marge d'une entreprise est proportionnelle à l'inverse de la part de revenu de l'un de ses intrants flexibles. Nous analysons l'évolution des marges agrégées en France et documentons que l'augmentation de la concentration est corrélée à une réallocation des parts de marché vers les entreprises à marge élevée. Nous montrons également que l'évolution de la part du travail reflète l'évolution des marges : la réallocation tend à diminuer la part du travail tandis qu'au sein des entreprises, la part du travail augmente.Le choix d'une forme fonctionnelle pour décrire le processus de production est un compromis entre théorie et empirisme. La fonction de production standard est de type Cobb-Douglas mais impose une élasticité de substitution constante et égale à 1, en contradiction avec la littérature empirique. Les fonctions de production CES ont des élasticités de substitution non unitaires mais constantes au sein de chaque industrie et un ratio d'utilisation des facteurs de production indépendant de la taille de l'entreprise.Le chapitre 3 montre que cette dernière fonction de production ne rend pas compte de l'utilisation des technologies de l’information (TIC), puisque nous documentons une augmentation de la demande relative de TIC avec la taille des entreprises: en cohérence avec une fonction de production CES non-homothétique. Nous analysons ensuite comment l'interaction de la baisse des prix des TIC et les caractéristiques non-homothétiques des TIC rationalisent les faits empiriques documentés dans le chapitre 2. (i) comme les grandes entreprises sont plus intensives en TIC, elles bénéficient de manière disproportionnée de la baisse des prix des TIC, ce qui rationalise l'augmentation de la concentration. (ii) comme les grandes entreprises sont plus intensives en TIC dans l'échantillon, elles fonctionnent avec des rendements d'échelle plus faibles et ont donc des parts de bénéfices plus élevées et des parts de travail plus faibles. Cela explique comment l'augmentation de la concentration entraîne une diminution de la part globale du travail. (iii) les statistiques comparatives du modèle prédisent que l’adoption de TIC liée à la baisse de leur prix implique des rendements d'échelle plus élevés et ont donc une part de travail plus importante, ce qui explique la tendance haussière de la part du travail au sein des entreprises
Firms production function link their use of input factors to their production level. Production function estimates are at the same time important and untrustworthy. Important, because key indicators for policy design, such as the measure of aggregate markups, are derived from those estimates. Untrustworthy because they rely on identification assumptions.This project studies the assumptions underlying the usual techniques for estimating production functions: both their functional forms and the often assumed inputs flexibility. It then leverages production function estimates, to assess how firms ability to price over marginal income and the share of their income going to workers have evolved over the last 30 years.In Chapter 1 we provide evidence on the input flexibility assumption grounding production function estimation: the quasi instantaneous adjustment of either material or labor and delayed adjustment of capital hold. We rely on the existence of notches; values where after-tax profits decrease in before-tax sales in the French tax code.We identify which type of firms adjust their size in response to a transient notch. We do this by studying the ex-ante characteristics of firms below the tax cutoff. We find that firms who bunch tend to have larger elasticity of output with respect to materials and lower elasticity of output with respect to capital. Consistently, we also show that to adjust their remaining production firms, tend to primarily reduce spending on material.In Chapter 2 we leverage evidence on inputs flexibility to recover firm level markups of the universe of firms in France over the 1984-2016 period. De Loecker and Warzynski (2012) show that a firm’s markup proportionates the inverse of one of its flexible inputs revenue share. We analyze the evolution of aggregate markups in France and document that the rise of concentration correlates with a reallocation of market share towards high markup firms. We also show that the evolution of the labor share mirrors the evolution of markups: reallocation tends to decrease labor share while within firms, labor share rises.The choice of a functional form to describe firms production process is a compromise between theory and empirics. The workhorse production function is Cobb-Douglas and imposes a constant (and equal to 1) elasticity of substitution. Recent evidence in the empirical literature has however estimated a micro-elasticity of substitution significantly lower than one. While CES production functions allow for non-unit elasticity of substitution, they assume constant elasticity within industry and imply that the ratio of input use doesn’t depend on firm size.In Chapter 3, we show that the latter production function cannot account for IT inputs use in firms.With detailed data on software and hardware investments among French firms, we document that the firm-level demand for IT inputs relative to other inputs grows in the firm’s scale of operation. Theoretically, a non-homothetic CES production function helps rationalizing this empirical fact.We then analyze how the interaction of the fall of IT prices and the non-homothetic characteristics of IT inputs also help rationalize the empirical facts documented in chapter 2. First, since larger firms are more IT intensive in the cross-section, they benefit disproportionally from the fall in IT prices, rationalizing the rise of concentration. Similarly, since larger firms are more IT intensive in the cross-section, they operate at lower returns to scale and therefore have higher profit shares and lower labor shares. This explains how the rise in concentration drives a decline in aggregate labor shares. Finally, the comparative statistics of the model predicts that the fall of IT prices imply that when firms substitute toward IT they operate at higher returns to scale and therefore tend to have larger labor share, explaining the positive contribution to aggregate labor share of the within component

Abstract:
Les simulations d'écoulement sur des modèles représentatifs d'un gisement pétrolier sont généralement coûteuses en temps de calcul. Une pratique courante en ingénierie de réservoir consiste à remplacer ces simulations par une approximation mathématique, un méta-modèle. La méta-modélisation peut fortement réduire le nombre de simulations nécessaires à l'analyse de sensibilité, le calibrage du modèle, l'estimation de la production, puis son optimisation. Cette thèse porte sur l'étude de méta-modèles utilisant des simulations réalisées à différents niveaux de précision, par exemple pour des modèles de réservoir avec des maillages de résolutions différentes. L'objectif est d'accélérer la construction d'un méta-modèle prédictif en combinant des simulations coûteuses avec des simulations rapides mais moins précises. Ces méta-modèles multi-fidélité, basés sur le co-krigeage, sont comparés au krigeage pour l'approximation de sorties de la simulation d'écoulement. Une analyse en composantes principales peut être considérée afin de réduire le nombre de modèles de krigeage pour la méta-modélisation de réponses dynamiques et de cartes de propriétés. Cette méthode peut aussi être utilisée pour améliorer la méta-modélisation de la fonction objectif dans le cadre du calage d'historique. Des algorithmes de planification séquentielle d'expériences sont finalement proposés pour accélérer la méta-modélisation et tirer profit d'une approche multi-fidélité.

Performing flow simulations on numerical models representative of oil deposits is usually a time consuming task in reservoir engineering. The substitution of a meta-model, a mathematical approximation, for the flow simulator is thus a common practice to reduce the number of calls to the flow simulator. It permits to consider applications such as sensitivity analysis, history-matching, production estimation and optimization. This thesis is about the study of meta-models able to integrate simulations performed at different levels of accuracy, for instance on reservoir models with various grid resolutions. The goal is to speed up the building of a predictive meta-model by balancing few expensive but accurate simulations, with numerous cheap but approximated ones. Multi-fidelity meta-models, based on co-kriging, are thus compared to kriging meta-models for approximating different flow simulation outputs. To deal with vectorial outputs without building a meta-model for each component of the vector, the outputs can be split on a reduced basis using principal component analysis. Only a few meta-models are then needed to approximate the main coefficients in the new basis. An extension of this approach to the multi-fidelity context is proposed. In addition, it can provide an efficient meta-modelling of the objective function when used to approximate each production response involved in the objective function definition. The proposed methods are tested on two synthetic cases derived from the PUNQ-S3 and Brugge benchmark cases. Finally, sequential design algorithms are introduced to speed-up the meta-modeling process and exploit the multi-fidelity approach

The sugarcane crop is subjected during their growth to different environmental conditions, and agricultural yield directly affected by these conditions. Yield models become important tools in order to supply estimates of crop yield along to characterize management alternatives, increasing the efficiency of management and strategic decisions. Information technology is an important tool in this process and has been increasingly used for collecting and analyzing data that are used as the basis of their decisions. The objective of this work was included in the software Irriplus estimated yield of crops models, using the Stewart and Mantovani models to estimate the real productivity and Method of Agroecological Zone (MAZ) to estimate the maximum productivity. Besides the models, a methodology of multiple linear regressions was developed to explain the factors that are influencing the yield crop and generate yield models from historical data. To evaluate the models, was used descriptive analysis and analysis tests comparing the real and estimated yield. Statistical tests were paired t-test, relative error percentage (REP) and mean absolute error (MAE). Was used real yield data of irrigated sugarcane RB 86-7515, crops xiv 2007/2008 and 2008/2009, in the Jaíba city of Minas Gerais state. The Stewart Model requires as input the maximum yield that was estimated by MAZ in two crops. In the 2007/2008 crop, the model estimated the average productivity at 113.58 t ha-1, while the real yield average was 113.47 t ha-1, the MAE was equal 10.10. In the 2008/2009 crop, the model estimated the average productivity at 121.81 t ha-1, while the real yield average was 121.81 t ha-1, the MAE was equal 8.02. In both crops the paired t-test showed no significant difference between the average yields. The Mantovani model used the same maximum yield of the model of Stewart, estimated by MAZ. In the 2007/2008 crop, the model estimated the average productivity at 198.13 t ha-1, while the real yield average was 113.47 t ha-1, the MAE was equal 84.66. In the 2008/2009 crop, the model estimated the average productivity at 154.81 t ha-1, while the real yield average was 121.81 t ha-1, the MAE was equal 32.72. In both crops the paired t-test showed significant difference between the average yields and the yield estimated overestimated the real yield. An equation was fitted by multiple linear regression using data from the 2007/2008 crop, related variables: total irrigation required, total capacity of the soil water, available soil water, reference evapotranspiration, crop evapotranspiration and maximum crop evapotranspiration. The equation was evaluated in the 2008/2009 crop for yield estimated. The equation estimated the average productivity at 122.41 t ha-1, while the real yield average was 121.81 t ha-1, the MAE was equal 7.07. The paired t-test showed no significant difference between the average yields.
A cultura da cana-de-açúcar é submetida durante o seu desenvolvimento a diferentes condições ambientais, sendo o rendimento agrícola afetado diretamente por estas condições. Modelos de produtividade tornam-se ferramentas importantes objetivando suprir estimativas de rendimento ao longo das safras visando à caracterização de alternativas de manejo, aumentando a eficácia das decisões gerenciais e estratégicas. A tecnologia da informação é uma importante ferramenta nesse processo e tem sido cada vez mais utilizada para coleta e análise de dados que são utilizados como base nas suas decisões. O objetivo deste trabalho foi incluir no software Irriplus modelos de estimativa de produtividades de culturas agrícolas, utilizando os modelos de Stewart e Mantovani para estimar a produtividade real e o Método da Zona Agroecológica (MZA) para estimar a produtividade máxima. Além dos modelos, foi desenvolvida uma metodologia de regressão linear múltipla para explicar os fatores que estão influenciando a produtividade da cultura e gerar modelos de produtividade a partir de dados históricos. Para avaliar os modelos, foi utilizada análise descritiva e testes de análise comparativa entre a produtividade estimada e observada em campo. Os testes estatísticos utilizados foram: teste-t pareado, erro relativo percentual (ERP) e erro médio absoluto (MAE). Foram utilizados dados reais de produtividade da cana-de-açúcar RB 86-7515 irrigada, safras 2007/2008 e 2008/2009, do município de Jaíba do estado de Minas Gerais. O modelo de Stewart requer como dado de entrada a produtividade máxima, que foi estimada pelo MZA nas duas safras. Na safra 2007/2008, o modelo estimou a produtividade média em 113,58 t ha-1, enquanto a produtividade média observada em campo foi 113,47 t ha-1, o MAE foi igual a 10,10. Na safra 2008/2009 o modelo estimou a produtividade média em 121,81 t ha-1, enquanto a produtividade média observada em campo foi 121,81 t ha-1, o MAE foi igual a 8,02. Nas duas safras o teste-t pareado não demonstrou diferença significativa entre as médias de produtividade. O modelo de Mantovani utilizou a mesma produtividade máxima do modelo de Stewart estimada pelo MZA. Na safra 2007/2008, o modelo estimou a produtividade média em 198,13 t ha-1, enquanto a produtividade média observada em campo foi 113,47 t ha-1, o MAE foi igual a 84,66. Na safra 2008/2009, o modelo estimou a produtividade média em 154,81 t ha-1, enquanto a produtividade média observada em campo foi 121,81 t ha-1, o MAE foi igual a 32,72. Nas duas safras, o teste-t pareado demonstrou diferença significativa entre as médias de produtividade e a estimativa do modelo superestimou produtividade observada em campo. Foi ajustada uma equação por regressão linear múltipla, com dados da safra 2007/2008, relacionada com as variáveis: irrigação total necessária, capacidade total de água no solo, água disponível no solo, evapotranspiração de referência, evapotranspiração da cultura e evapotranspiração máxima da cultura. A equação foi avaliada na safra 2008/2009 para estimativa da produtividade. A equação estimou a produtividade média em 122,41 t ha-1, enquanto a produtividade média observada em campo foi 121,81 t ha-1, o MAE foi igual a 7,07. O teste-t pareado não demonstrou diferença significativa entre as médias de produtividade.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter accomplishes a phenomenology of deep time visualizations. It examines the power and limits of a series of visual devices used in paleontology and geology to access, and eventually work with the earth’s deep past. First, I discuss how paleontologists visualize and sort data in the field; second, I examine the practices used to illustrate and validate knowledge about extinct animals; third, I explore what function visualizations play in supporting the transition between data collection and the possible explanation of global biological phenomena such as the estimation of diversity through geological time; fourth, I inquire into the role of the computer; and fifth, I discuss the recent intersection between paleontology and different kinds of new technologies such as augmented and visual reality and robotics, both to shed light on some aspects of the past and to generate new research questions. In conclusion, I reflect on the intersection between earth science visual cultures and knowledge production. In particular, I point out the function of knowledge circulation and in between scientists in the production of visual devices as well as the importance of aesthetics for cooperative research projects and knowledge production in the earth sciences.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Reference velocity (i.e. the absolute velocity of vehicle center of gravity) is a key parameter for vehicle stability control functions as well as for the powertrain control functions of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Most reference velocity estimation methods employ the vehicle kinematic and tire dynamic equations to construct high order linear or nonlinear model with a set of parameters and sensor measurements. When using those models, delicate algorithm should be designed to prevent the estimates from deviating along with the increase of nonlinearity, modeling error and noise that introduced by high order, parameter approximation, and sensor measurements, respectively. Alternatively, to improve the function robustness and calibration convenience, a straightforward online estimation method is developed in the paper by using a second-order powertrain dynamic model that only need a small set of vehicle parameters and sensor values. First, the HEV powertrain dynamic model is established for the vehicle longitudinal velocity estimation. Second, a classic Luenberger observer with variable estimation gains are designed. Third, the variable estimation gains are scheduled based on the vehicular operational conditions to determine whether the estimates need to be dominated by the dynamic model or by the measurements in different condition. Then the algorithm is integrated into the vehicle control unit (VCU) of a mass production HEV, which is a powertrain supervisory controller that possesses all the control inputs and measurements signals needed by the observer. Finally, the estimation accuracy is verified by experiments on both high- and low-μ (-adhesion) road, such as the snow surface, ice surface, and urban concrete pavement, etc. Due to the low order and minor parameters and measurements needed, as well as the variable estimation gain scheduled with operational conditions, the algorithm robustness and calibration convenience are guaranteed.</div></div>

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents an automated workflow that can estimate the oil and gas rates of a well, with the high frequency data, distinguishing the behavior of the reservoir under transient flow and pseudo steady state flow conditions. The new approach matches the wellhead pressure of a well model with the current value reported by a SCADA system, by adjusting the bottomhole pressure. For transient flow, it considers the response of the inflow performance relationship as a function of time. For pseudo steady state flow, it considers the declination of the reservoir pressure. The estimation of the production rate is carried out every 15 minutes, and the total daily produced volume is calculated based on the effective flowing time. To evaluate the accuracy of the new well rate estimation workflow, the output of the workflow is evaluated using two different criteria. Initially, the estimated oil and gas productions are compared with data from a real well test that is used as a quality control point. Secondly, considering that the fluid properties remain stable over time (water cut and gas-oil ratio), the critical flow through a choke valve defines a historical production trend that is used to quantify the deviation of the estimated values. As a result of the new workflow application, the difference between the estimated and measured rates decreased from 10% to 3%. The novelty of the new method is that it reduces the error of the estimated oil and gas production rates using the actual reservoir pressure behavior and provides more precise data for the different reservoir engineering analyzes.

Abstract:
Abstract In selecting a process to make a given component, it is first necessary to screen available processes to find those which can make the desired shape from the desired material with the desired precision and finish. Commonly, many processes survive this screening, and it is then desirable to rank them approximately so that the most promising are explored first. The natural criterion for ranking is that of relative cost. This paper describes an approximate relative cost model, applicable to all processes, designed to give this approximate ranking. It is based on summing the costs of material, energy, time, capital and other resources. The values for equipment cost, tooling cost and production rate depend on component size and complexity. Approximate scaling methods are used to include these dependencies. The model has been implemented in a Process Selector (the CPS) and fills its intended function adequately.

Abstract:
Solids/sand production is an unintended byproduct of the hydrocarbon production that, from an operational point of view, might potentially lead to undesirable consequences. This paper focuses on a study centered in the geomechanical perspective for solids production. An integrated workflow is presented to analyze the combined effect of reservoir pore-pressure, drawdown, in-situ stress, rock properties and well/perforations orientation on the onset of solid production. This workflow incorporates analyses at multiple scales: rock constitutive modeling at lab scale, 1D geomechanical models at wellbore scale along well trajectories, a 3D geomechanical model at the reservoir scale and 3D/4D high resolution reservoir - geomechanical coupled models at the well and perforation scale. 1D geomechanical models were built using log and field data, drilling experience and laboratory tests in order to characterize in situ stresses, pore pressure and rock mechanics properties (stiffness and strength) profiles for several wells. Rock shear failure mechanism was also analyzed in order to build a pre-drill model and evaluate the wellbore stability from a geomechanical point of view. Pre-production stress modeling was simulated to obtain a representative initial stress state integrating 1D geomechanics well results, 3D dynamic model and seismic interpretations. Mechanical properties were distributed considering properties calculated in the 1D geomechanical models as input. 3D stress field was validated with in-situ stress profiles from 1D modeling results. This simulated pre-production stress state was then used as an initial condition for the reservoir - geomechanical coupled simulations. Effective stress changes and deformations associated to pore pressure changes were calculated including the coupling between reservoir and geomechanical modeling. Finally, a 3D/4D high resolution well scale reservoir - geomechanical coupled numerical model was built in order to determine the threshold of sand production. A limit of plastic strain was obtained based on numerical simulations of available production data, DST and ATWC tests. This critical plastic strain limit was used as a criterion (strain-based) for rock failure to define the onset of sand production as a function of pore pressure, perforation orientation and rock strength. Conclusions regarding the perforation orientations related to the possibility of producing solids can support operational decisions in order to avoid undesirable solid production and therefore optimize the production facilities capacity and design to handle large amounts of solids and/or the clogging of the well.

Abstract:
Abstract This study presents a novel metaheuristic algorithm that uses a physics-based model for multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHW) to accurately predict the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) for unconventional reservoirs. The metaheuristic algorithm creates a sizeable number of stochastic simulations and keeps the simulation results from those random models that closely reproduce observed production data. Unlike other optimization methods, the proposed algorithm does not aim at finding the exact solution to the problem but a group of sufficiently accurate solutions that help to construct the partial solution to the optimization problem as a function of production history. Results from this work provide sufficient evidence as to why traditional decline curve analysis (DCA) is not a suitable solution for production forecasting in unconventional reservoirs. Two case studies are discussed in this work where results from both modeling strategies are compared. Evolutionary prediction of EUR over time using DCA behaves erratically, regardless of the amount of historical production data available to the regression model. Such erratic behavior can, in turn, yield an erroneous estimation of key economic performance indicators of an asset. In contrast, the proposed metaheuristic algorithm delivers precise and accurate results consistently, achieving a significant reduction of uncertainties as more production data becomes available. In conclusion, the proposed partial optimization approach enables the accurate calculation of important metrics for unconventional reservoirs, including production forecasting and expected productive life of an asset.

Abstract:
The classical Material Balance (P/Z) plot requires fully shut-in built-up reservoir pressure (Pr) for its calculation by generating static Pr as a function of cumulative gas production (Gp). Shut-in the well only for Pr data acquisition is impractical and creates several issues such as risk of production loss and production disturbance. Mattar & McNeil (1997) introduced Flowing Material Balance approach for gas deliverability monitoring and reserves estimation based on surface well flowing parameter by creating parallel line through the initial Pr to estimate Initial-Gas-In-Place (IGIP). The method is practical for qualitative purpose, but any dynamic behavior of the well will be challenging. Improved model is presented, a Coupled Material Balance - Nodal Analysis approach for gas deliverability monitoring and reserves quantification of connected gas in place volume (CGIP). Initial Pr as a known variable then extended by the decline of Pr as a function of Gp and improved by performing “flowing mode” Nodal Analysis, converting bottom hole flowing pressure from wellhead flowing pressure to determine estimated Pr. Pr uncertainty and its depletion could be identified by sensitivity analysis, such as inflow productivity and water encroachment evolution. This approach has been applied for well T-32 of Tunu field, a mature field in Mahakam, to perform as single-reservoir gas deliverability monitoring by using only flowing parameter data. The “flowing” mode of Pr estimation with actual Gp, gives good performance of CGIP estimation without any shut-in activities, since this well is one of the big gas producer. This model also handled the dynamic activities of operation: well movement, production curtailment and improvement. The unknown variable of continuous water encroachment is also handled by wellbore temperature model which justified with actual data. This improved model could be considered as an alternative approach for gas reserves quantification and gives advantage for production strategy.

Abstract:
Abstract The availability of a simple and robust flow allocation system is of primary importance for reservoir management since it provides oil, water, and gas production for each well. The low frequency of well separator tests and the difficulties in performing regular maintenance of multiphase flow meters have led to the development of Real Time Virtual Flow Meter (RTVFM) in Eni, a numerical solution to obtain real time flow rate estimation from pressure/temperature gauges measurements. This paper discusses the implementation and application of a novel RTVFM algorithm that increases the accuracy, stability, and robustness of the existing numerical tools even in case of extreme oil field environment with significant uncertainties. Current Virtual Meter algorithms are based on fluid dynamic simulators which calculate the pressure drops through wellbore, choke, and flowlines; the algorithm can be run in real time to find the optimal production rates that minimize the error between physical pressure readings and the calculated ones. In this work, a constraint is added to the system by including the temperature matching in the objective function, further improving the tool reliability. An accurate heat transfer characterization of the well has been implemented to predict the temperature changes along the wellbore during time, as well as the thermal effect due to pressure variations (Joule-Thompson effect). The effectiveness of the implemented algorithm has been proven by its application on a few offshore oil producers. In the chosen wells, equipped with dedicated MPFMs, the production measurements are not always reliable and RTVFM can be a valid support tool for back allocation. However, the flow rate estimation can be affected by significant uncertainties like production parameters variability (water cut and gas oil ratio) and fluid properties variation due to gas re-injection or artificial gas lift. In this scenario, the proposed enthalpy balance model allows to find a unique solution for the flow rate estimation, while the algorithm based only on pressure readings can converge to multiple solution rates. Increasing the accuracy of RTVFM tool is imperative to allow a reliable back allocation process, even in case of MPFM unavailability, poor sensors data quality and highly variable fluid properties. This paper investigated how an advanced thermo-fluid dynamic model can improve Virtual Meter algorithms, thus reducing the uncertainties in the numerical flow rate estimation.

Abstract:
Most studies of total factor productivity (TFP) and long-term production functions use capital stock time series obtained from ad hoc estimates of the rate of depreciation and the initial capital stock. This paper introduces a methodology that allows the simultaneous econometric estimation of the capital stock, the production function parameters, the rate of depreciation, and the initial capital stock. The proposed methodology, using the underlying cost function to the production function, allows for the incorporation of information about the relative prices of the factors of production and the possibility of having variable depreciation rates over time. The proposed methodology is applied to the case of the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, and Suriname for the period 1989-2019 using national accounts data published by the statistical services of these countries.

Abstract:
This paper develops an alternative approach for estimating the potential output and the output gap, intending to serve as a good balance between a simple low data requiring method and a powerful but complex structural approach. We rely on the Hamiltons Regression Filter properties to generate a statistically robust estimator of the potential Gross Domestic Product level which overcomes the problems associated to the Hodrick-Prescott filter and improves the Production Function Approach (PFA). Furthermore, we use this methodology to update the estimates of the potential output and output gap for the Brazilian economy.
