Full textAbstract:
The most used approaches for distributed application integration are based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural styles. Each is more adequate to a different class of applications and exhibits advantages and disadvantages. This paper not only shows that they are dual architectural styles, SOA oriented towards behavior (services) and REST towards state (structured resources), but also contends that it is possible to combine them to maximize the advantages and to minimize the disadvantages. A new architectural style, Structural Services, is proposed and described. Unlike REST, resources are not constrained to offer a fixed set of operations and, unlike SOA, services are allowed to have structure. To minimize resource coupling, this style uses structural interoperability based on the concepts of structural compliance and conformance, instead of schema sharing (as in SOA) or standardized and previously agreed upon media types (as in REST).

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to use a multi-level approach to examine the effects of emotional intelligence (EI) components on conflict management styles of Chinese managers when the respondents were in conflicts with their subordinates, peers or superiors. Design/methodology/approach The primary research was conducted in Dalian, China, via a personal survey resulting in 885 usable observations for analysis. EI was measured using the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS; Wong and Law, 2002), which is made up of 16 questions measuring four dimensions. The conflict management component was measured via Rahim’s (1983) five conflict management styles, which are avoidance, dominating, collaboration, compromise and integration. Findings The data analyses suggested that managers at different levels possess different EI and adopt different conflict management styles when dealing with their subordinates, peers and superiors. Specifically, when subordinates were involved in a conflict, junior managers and female managers were more likely to use the dominating style, while when peers were involved in a conflict, male managers were more likely to use the dominating style. When peers were involved in a conflict, managers working in public sectors were more likely to adopt the integrating, avoiding, obliging and compromising style. The Chinese managers were found to regulate their emotions and use of their emotions effectively in conflict with their peers and supervisors and thus they tended to adopt the avoiding, integrating and obliging style. Self-emotions appraisal and others emotions appraisal were significant to the adoption of the obliging style to handle conflict with their peers and supervisors. Use of emotions effectively was significant for the Chinese managers adopting the compromising style in conflicts with their peers, superiors and subordinates. Research limitations/implications The authors could only reach employees working and living in one city, which affects the generalizability of the paper. Practical implications Training should be provided to managers at different levels on the awareness of the impact of EI on conflict management at workplace. Originality/value There is little existing research on how employees across different levels within organisations in China moderate their EI according to the party they are interacting with. The objective of this paper is to stimulate further debate on the matter, thereby improving the understanding of EI moderation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine operational-level implementation issues regarding mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in general, and resource combination and integration at the functional marketing level in particular. Design/methodology/approach – The paper introduces four factors (i.e. collaboration, interaction, marketing synergy, and the realignment of marketing resources) that support successful M&A marketing integration and enhance overall M&A performance. Findings – The results indicate that marketing synergy and the realignment of marketing resources contribute significantly to the extent of integration. At the same time, the authors find a significant but negative relationship between the interaction dimension and the speed of integration. Originality/value – The cultural integration of firms that feature different management styles and organizational cultures has been recognized as a particularly challenging aspect of cross-border M&As. This study explains factors that contribute to effective marketing integration in M&As.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare and integrate leader-member exchange (LMX) and leader identification (LID) as concurrently functioning mediators between three leadership styles (individual-focused transformational, contingent reward, and benevolent paternalistic) and two citizenship behaviors (helping and taking charge). Design/methodology/approach Data included 395 stable, independent leader-follower dyads from numerous Chinese organizations. Partial least squares structural equation modeling and relative weight analysis were used in data analyses. Findings In established, steady-state leader-member alliances, LMX was the dominant explanation between various leadership styles and helping; whereas LID explained leadership effects on taking charge. Three-stage indirect effects of leadership-LMX-LID-taking charge were found. Also, LMX and LID related to the three focal leadership styles in distinct ways. Research limitations/implications Limitations include cross-sectional data. Strengths include a large, multi-source field sample. Implications include that LMX and LID provide different prosocial motivations; LMX indirectly engenders stronger other-orientation through LID; and the nature of indirect leadership effects via LID is more sensitive to the nature of the focal leadership styles. LMX and LID together provide a package of prosocial motivations. Practical implications Leaders interested in increasing employees’ helping vs taking charge behaviors can be more effective by understanding the different motivational potentials of LMX vs LID. Leaders also need to choose appropriate behavioral styles when they activate LMX vis-à-vis LID. Originality/value This study integrates multiple leadership theories to provide a nuanced account of how social exchange and self-concept explain leadership at the interpersonal level when leadership styles, LMX, and LID are stable.

India’s Education sector is in for a grand transformation thanks to the introduction of the National Educational Policy 2020. The present government is also focusing heavily on the country’s higher education sector and wants it to be on par with its international counterparts in terms of quality in research and publication. With this changed backdrop, the modern day librarians of HEIs are no longer reckoned as mere custodians and gatekeepers of traditional knowledge resources; they are vested with the job of educating the research scholars about research and publication ethics, citation styles, provide insights into free, copyrighted material and creative commons licensed content, online resources, check the research outcomes for plagiarism and play a significant role in the Academic Integration Committees of their institutions. This paper deliberates on the enhanced role of librarians as the knowledge resource managers in ensuring the quality standards in research and publication.

The technology of integration of learning methods, forms and means of information and communication technologies is described with due regards for psychological and pedagogical characteristics of student groups. The results of theoretical and experimental research conducted on the basis of two Ukrainian universities with the participation of 341 students in the "Chemistry" training area and 18 lecturers of basic chemical disciplines are highlighted. Both students and lecturers were polled in a specially designed questionnaire to show their attitude to the use of various electronic learning resources in learning and teaching basic chemical disciplines. Students’ preferences in learning styles were estimated on the basis of a self-scoring questionnaire for assessing preferences on four complementary dimensions, such as perception (sensitive or intuitive), input (visual or verbal), processing (active or reflective) and understanding (sequential or global) of chemical information. Such an approach is known as the method of Felder-Soloman, and it allows one to calculate Indices of Learning Style which assess qualitatively available preferences of all respondents in each of the four available directions. The developed technology allows lecturers to qualify an optimal set of electronic learning resources for the teaching of individual sections of chemistry, taking into account preferences in their use of students with different learning styles. The technology under development is based on the calculation of average resource scores as assessed by all students in the group, as well as on the expert evaluation of the feasibility of their application in the teaching of basic chemical disciplines. The taxonomy of the optimal selection of electronic learning resources and teaching methods is developed for each type of students’ learning preferences. Advantages and disadvantages of all available variants of the application of the developed technology are discussed for student groups of different compositions. An example of the application is given for studying the discipline "Inorganic Chemistry".

Program comprehension is an important process carried out involving much effort in software maintenance process. A key challenge to developers in program comprehension process is to comprehend a source code. Nowadays, software systems have grown in size ca using increase in developers' tasks to explore and understand millions of lines of source code. Meanwhile, source code is a crucial resource for developers to become familiar with a software system since some system documentations are often unavailable or outdated. However, there are problems exist in understanding source codes, which are tricky with different programming styles, and insufficient comments. Although many researchers have discussed different strategies and techniques to overcome program compr ehension problem, only a shallow knowledge is obtained about the challenges in trying to understand a software system through reading source code. Therefore, this study attempts to overcome the problems in source code comprehension by suggesting a suitable comprehension technique. The proposed technique is based on using ontology approach for knowledge representation. This approach is able to easily explain the concept and relationship of program domain. Thus, the proposed work will create a better way for improving program comprehension.

Full textAbstract:
The role of the customer has evolved with increasing transparency of consumption processes, as well as easy sharing of and access to information. While previous research has acknowledged the activity of customers in integrating resources, the dynamic role of service providers in engaging customers and facilitating their resource integration processes has received less attention. To date, literature on dyadic relationships between customers and service providers is primarily focused on the cultivation and building of relationships. As such, this research explores the complementary role of service providers in supporting customer value creation, through customer engagement and resource integration. This research comprises three papers that investigate the customers’ and employees’ activities and interactions in an extended and complex service setting. In line with the overall research objectives, we address two distinct yet related themes - the first paper examines customer engagement with a service offering (CESO), while the second paper focuses on the provider side of resource integration, identifying five professional service providers’ resource integration styles (PRO-RIS). These two papers are exploratory and qualitative in nature, as we seek to generate rich and thick insights for theory building. The third paper extends the second paper by validating PRO-RIS quantitatively, as well as exploring customer traits that differ across styles, through a variety of approaches including multiple discriminant analysis. This paper suggests how service providers in complex services, may support customer resource integration meaningfully in practice. We thus contribute to the existing literature by investigating the complexities and nuances surrounding dynamic interactions between the customer and service provider, in the process of resource integration to create value. The first paper is novel in that it explores customer engagement from two perspectives: that of the planner and that of the customer. By conceptualising CESO, the first paper addresses a fundamental gap in the customer engagement literature by going beyond the current focus on brands and organisations. In particular, CESO is holistic in that it captures customer engagement with a service offering, which includes the service provider, their advice and the service process. In addition, we advance present knowledge by providing rich insights on the drivers and outcomes from such engagement. The identified engagement activities are ‘openings’ or windows of opportunities for service providers to connect with their customers appropriately in practice. Building on our improved understanding of such opportunities, the second paper investigates professional service providers’ resource integration styles. In contrast to previous studies exploring how customers may integrate resources to create value, this paper focuses on the role of the service provider by offering significant insights on how service providers can facilitate customer resource integration processes. That is, the research focuses on the process and configurations of resource integration, rather than the benefits realised through the resource integration process [i.e. value cocreation]. Researchers have acknowledged that the function of the institution in value cocreation is a missing concept and that value cocreation roles also need to be investigated from the service provider’s perspective. Yet, little is known about the configuration of resource integration processes in practice, with research recently pointing to this as a service research priority. Hence, the development of the PRO-RIS typology responds to these calls for research, improving our knowledge through detailed explanations of the variations in styles and associated constellations of resource integration activities that service providers offer, in support of customer resource integration. Further to this, the construction of the PRO-RIS index as discussed in the third paper is crucial in assisting the measurement of these five styles for empirical testing. Indeed, by using this index, we are able to link the resource integration styles with demographical, situational and personal factors of customers commonly associated with each style as well as related service outcomes, supporting service strategy development, through managers identifying customers associated with each style. The PRO-RIS index will enable the replication of this research in a variety of contexts, leading to more findings that are generalizable, bringing our understanding on actor-to-actor resource integration to the next level.Thesis (Ph.D.) (Research by Publication) -- University of Adelaide, Business School, 2016.

This case described over 2 decades of development process of the Social Enterprise, Sunny Kitchen. The spontaneous organization started out as Chu Tea House, which subsequently organized a series of community development activities to provide opportunities for citizens to develop their community collaboratively. At first, Sunny Kitchen was operated as a rather casual organization that utilized resources in an innovative approach to facilitate one minority group (women) helping another minority group (the elderly). It later established an organized central kitchen to train disadvantaged women. Over years of persistence in providing 5-star meal preparation training, Sunny Kitchen has trained many disadvantaged women to start up their own business. This was a win-win solution for everyone in the community. However, a series of problems happened in 2012 as the stringent training at the community central kitchen overwhelmed these women with pressures from both life and training. Strong protests arose against the training pressure. In addition, the organization has grown over time. Internal personnel developed different thoughts and diverse ideas for operations, and held their opinions against each other. Conflicts took place over time which made the organization derailed from the fundamental aspect of Social Enterprise. In 2014, Ms. Chang Hung Ya serious thoughts were given to the real needs of these women. In fact, what they really need is simply company and partner interactions as a channel to relieve their pressure. We started over and sought out the development path for Sunny Kitchen. Eventually we planned to operate as a flexible organization and take advantage of community relations, manage idle manpower and work with those seeking to start a small business so as to form a network social enterprise.

Full textAbstract:
This remarkable work reveals the plight of the family caregiver in chronic illness through the prism of communication. Examining the high cost and poorly addressed exigencies of the caregiver, including health literacy, palliative care, and health outcomes, Elaine Wittenberg, Joy V. Goldsmith, Sandra L. Ragan, and Terri Ann Parnell use an interdisciplinary approach in an effort to identify the impact of communication and its burdens on the caregiver. This team of scholars present four caregiver profiles, the Manager, Carrier, Partner, and Lone caregiver, each emerging from a family system with different patterns of conversational sharing and expectations of conformity. This volume presents a picture of the costs and losses for caregivers that go unseen and remain invisible for stakeholders in the healthcare experience. By synthesizing current data assessing the experiences of caregivers, as well as integrating the narrative experiences of a range of caregivers living through a variety of illnesses and their specific demands, the writers deliver an unflinching gaze at the journey of the caregiver. With an author team comprised of three health communication researchers and a nurse and health literacy expert, this volume integrates literature addressing caregiver needs and burdens, communication theory and practice, and palliative care and health literacy research to present the groundbreaking concept of the caregiver types and an innovative set of support resources to facilitate improved pathways to better care for the caregiver. Their engaging and rigorous writing style integrates the real stories of caregivers across the scope of the book connecting the reader with the people inside the pages and making the book essential for providers, students, clinicians, policymakers, and family caregivers alike.

Current integration solutions are still based on technologies developed for the original Web problem, which is browsing remote hypermedia documents with text as the main media type. Text-based data descriptions such as XML and JSON and stateless and connectionless protocols such as HTTP are still the norm to achieve distributed integration. However, the Web today is much more dynamic, in that resources are no longer passive hypermedia documents but are active and implement services. SOA and REST are the most used architectural styles to implement distributed integration, and each exhibits advantages and disadvantages. This chapter illustrates that they are dual architectural styles—one oriented towards behavior and the other towards state—and contends that it is possible to combine them to maximize the advantages and to minimize the disadvantages. A new architectural style, designated Structural Services, is proposed and described. Unlike REST, resources are able to offer a variable set of operations, and unlike SOA, services are allowed to have structure. To minimize resource coupling, this style uses structural interoperability based on the concepts of structural compliance and conformance, instead of schema sharing (as in SOA) or standardized and previously agreed upon media types (as in REST). To delineate how this style can be implemented, a new distributed programming language is presented.

Full textAbstract:
The main application integration approaches, the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and representational state transfer (REST) architectural styles, are rather different in their modeling paradigm, forcing application developers to choose between one and the other. In addition, both introduce more application coupling than required, since data schemas need to be common, even if not all instantiations of those schemas are used. This chapter contends that it is possible to improve this scenario by conceiving a new architectural style, structural services, which combines services and resources to reduce the semantic gap with the applications, allowing to tune the application integration between pure service-based and pure resource-based, or an intermediate mix. Unlike REST, resources are not constrained to offer a fixed set of operations, and unlike SOA, services are allowed to have structure. In addition, compliance is used to reduce coupling to the bare minimum required by the actually used application features.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few years, we have witnessed a paradigm shift on the programming models and on architectural styles, which have been used to design and implement large-scale service-oriented systems. More specifically, the classic message-oriented and remote procedure call paradigm has gradually evolved to the resource-oriented architectural style, inspired by concepts pertinent to the World Wide Web. This shift has been primarily driven by multifaceted functional and non-functional requirements of Web enabled large-scale service offering systems. These requirements include enhanced interoperability, lightweight integration, scalability, enhanced performance, even looser coupling, and less dependence on shifting technology standards. As a consequence, several, and sometimes antagonistic, architectures, design patterns, and programming paradigms have emerged on a quest to overcome the constantly expanding enterprise software needs. In the context of resource-oriented architectures, the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style has gained considerable attention due to its simplicity, uniformity, and flexibility. More specifically, the potential for scalability and loose coupling, the uniformity of interfaces, and the efficient bridging of enterprise software systems with the Web are significant factors for software architects and engineers to consider REST when designing, implementing, composing, and deploying service-oriented systems. These issues stir discussion among academics and practitioners about how to properly apply REST constraints both with respect to the development of new enterprise systems and to the migration and adaptation of existing service-oriented systems to RESTful architectures. In this chapter, the authors discuss issues and challenges related to the adaptation of existing service-oriented systems to a RESTful architecture. First, they present the motivation behind such an adaptation need. Second, the authors discuss related adaptation theory, techniques, and challenges that have been recently presented in the research literature. Third, they identify and present several considerations and dimensions that the adaptation to REST entails, and the authors present frameworks to assess resource-oriented designs with regard to compliance to REST. Fourth, the authors introduce an adaptation framework process model in the context of enterprise computing systems and technologies, such as Model Driven Engineering and Service Component Architecture (SCA). Furthermore, they discuss open challenges and considerations on how such an adaptation process to REST can be extended, in order to yield systems that best conform to the REST architectural style and the corresponding REST constraints. Finally, the chapter is concluded with a summary and a discussion on the points raised and on some emerging trends in this area.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter compares the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural styles and contends that both have advantages and limitations for enterprise integration. SOA, based on behavior, has a lower modeling semantic gap for complex applications but lacks support for structured resources common in lower-grained applications. REST is based on structure and hypermedia but has a higher semantic gap in complex applications and, as this chapter contends, does not entail a lower resource coupling than SOA. A new architectural style, Structural Services, is proposed to get the best of both worlds, while reducing coupling with structural interoperability based on the concepts of compliance and conformance. Unlike REST, resources are able to offer a variable set of operations, and unlike SOA, services are allowed to have structure and use hypermedia. A distributed service programming language is briefly described to illustrate how this architectural style can be instantiated.

This chapter will focus largely on the author’s experiences in promoting the creative use of videoconferencing in schools in Northern Ireland over the past ten years. It will also describe certain groundbreaking projects that educators in other parts of the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland have undertaken in this field. Although, until recently, there has been little in the way of a systemic approach in Northern Ireland to the introduction and integration of videoconferencing into K-12 classrooms, there have been some striking examples of good practice. The examples chosen demonstrate the potential of videoconferencing to be inclusive of different needs and learning styles and to extend and enrich the learning experiences available in the classroom. They are intended to show how videoconferencing can have a powerful effect on learning and teaching and to give more educators the motivation and confidence to explore and develop this user-friendly valuable education resource.

It is shown that SOA and REST are dual architectural styles, one oriented towards behavior and the other towards state. This raises the question of whether it is possible to combine them to maximize the advantages and to minimize the disadvantages. A new architectural style, Structural Services, is proposed to obtain the best characteristics from SOA and REST. As in SOA, services are able to offer a variable set of operations and, as in REST, resources are allowed to have structure. This style uses structural interoperability, based on structural compliance and conformance. A service-oriented programming language is also introduced to instantiate this architectural style.

The fundamental problem of distributed application integration is reducing application coupling as much as possible while still meeting the minimum interoperability requirements. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and representational state transfer (REST) are the most used architectural styles to deal with this problem. This chapter performs a comparative study of these styles and shows that, while both solve basic interoperability, neither of them minimizes coupling, since data description schemas are shared by the interacting applications (symmetric interoperability). SOA is oriented towards behavior (services) and REST towards state (structured resources). Services have no structure and resources have a fixed service. This chapter proposes a new architectural style, structured services, that combines the best characteristics of SOA and REST (services can have structure and resources can implement application-specific services), while using asymmetric interoperability (schema compatibility is based on structural compliance and conformance) to minimize application coupling.

Learning style research has informed effective classroom teaching strategies for decades. Technology has allowed faculty and students to move the learning environment from the four-walled classroom to a fluid global virtual space. Knowledge gained through the application of learning style research to the online instruction has enhanced practice; however, research demonstrating the alignment of learning styles with current technological resources has been limited. Learning styles and their interrelationship with technology and adult learners is as important today as initial learning style research was in the six decades after its beginnings in the 1940s. Education today must meet the needs of students who are more comfortable in electronic environments as well as those who need the four-walled classroom. The ability to use learning style research to accomplish both will lead to enhanced student learning and a more productive experience.

While both SOAP and REST have been used widely to implement Web services and software integration, over time REST has emerged as the predominant approach. REST provides developers with a lower barrier to entry for implementation and greater development flexibility than SOAP. Its architectural conventions and best practices can be integrated into Web services incrementally as opposed to the all-or-nothing adoption of SOAP. In order to achieve generality, SOAP standards are extensive, rigid, and complex. This complexity can lead to implementations that introduce significant overhead on the network bandwidth consumption, execution times, and throughput of SOAP services, especially in the emerging resource-restricted mobile realm. This chapter provides an overview of the logical and physical design of modern Web services and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the predominant styles. It provides evidence and reasoning behind the emergence of REST as the leader for the development of next-generation Web APIs and services. The chapter also delineates the key technologies that underlie REST and describes emerging and future research directions in support of REST-based APIs and service development.

Functional integration and resource utilization are a challenge in today’s product development. The selective utilization of surface properties for functional integration offers potentials which aren’t exhausted until now. Surface roughness is mostly considered in manufacturing and measurement but the product properties impacted by surface roughness are determined in the product development. So it is necessary to integrate and extend the information about surface roughness in the methods and models of the product development. Therefore an approach for the representation of surface properties in product development is evolved. Based on the classification of surface deviation and profile courses, a method for building a surface profile is explored and depicted in an object-oriented representation model. One example for the functional integration and the use of technology-induced properties are sheet metal parts with higher order bifurcation in integral style. A new massive forming technology called linear flow splitting enables the manufacturing of sheet metal parts with higher order bifurcation in integral style. Within this manufacturing process, the material properties change heavily. Considering these changes in the product development, the representation model is needed to ensure the functionality. The model is used for generation a typical surface resulting from a linear flow splitting process.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract As oil and gas industry technical professionals land their first supervisory roles, gaps in their leadership skills often become apparent. Years of technical education and training have prepared them well for roles as individual technical contributors, but stronger business, management, and leadership skills are needed as they move into emerging leadership roles in which they direct others. Competency assessments of first-level supervisors and mid-career experienced hires are conducted to determine mission-critical leadership gaps. This process is done in alignment with competency-focused job descriptions that enumerate key soft skills needed in each leadership role and build on a sound foundation of technical competency. Bringing emerging leaders together as a group enhances their networking opportunities as they advance through the program; including experienced hires helps them become attuned to the company's management style. Learning opportunities can include face-to-face instruction, webinars, e-learning, online resources, exercises, business simulations, and coaching and mentoring. Building future leaders is key to succession planning. Introducing experienced hires to the leadership styles of the company ensures the successful integration of new talent into the team. A competency-based approach to assessing emerging leaders provides the roadmap for creating a deep bench of candidates for future roles in executive management. Experienced instructors and mentors are crucial to ensuring the leadership program delivery is aligned with the corporate mission, vision and values. The delivery of the leadership development program can be self-sustaining if program graduates and external expert facilitators are incorporated into the delivery of the program to future cohorts. Technical professionals progress through supervisory/management positions on their respective career ladders primarily by ‘learning on the job' rather than through formal training. This paper looks at differences between the current state of supervisory development and what professionals actually need in leadership skills. These are new skills needed for transitioning from supervisor/manager to an effective leader. New methods of digital delivery allow greater interaction between participants and instructors. Building an innovative leadership development program enhances the company's brand and attracts and retains top talent.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding hydraulic fracture propagation remains a challenge for oil and gas operators when exploiting resource plays. Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site-2 (HFTS-2) is a well-studied industry and government consortium project area designed to further explore this challenge. The site is in the Wolfcamp Formation of the Delaware Basin. Several techniques were deployed to understand flow units at HFTS-2, including geochemical analysis of produced hydrocarbons, which provides a direct measurement of subsurface fluid flow. This information is integral to understanding the initial stimulated rock volume (SRV) and also the evolution of the drained rock volume (DRV) over time. Production allocation is the statistical analysis of geochemical parameters allowing for deconvolution of multiple reservoir contributions to hydraulic fracture networks. Samples are captured and analyzed throughout the wells’ lifecycles and tracking this temporal evolution is termed time lapse geochemistry (TLG). Through TLG, direct evidence of vertical drainage columns can complement fracture models, evidencing annealment of fractures and effects of nearby parent or child wells. At HFTS-2, four lateral wells drilled in 2019 were analyzed five times over the initial 18 months of production. Wells were landed in Upper Wolfcamp formations. Oil samples were sent to GeoMark Research for analysis. Utilizing measurements of lipid biomarkers, carbon isotopes, and common bulk oil properties, statistical approaches were employed to allocate contributions of oil families to the wells. Unique oil families were identified in Wolfcamp X/Y and Wolfcamp A formations. Temporal evolution of the contribution of these families to the produced fluids of the four wells show that initially, all the wells had contribution from vertically surrounding units. Subsequent time samples showed that vertical contributions were reduced, and significantly so in the lower wells, and by the time of the last sample, stratigraphic contributions were limited to rock units where the wells were landed. The allocations are integrated with logs, formation evaluation, hydraulic stimulation models, and microseismic to provide a wholistic view of field development. Microseismic and modelling suggest large SRV overlap (~60%) between Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp X/Y wells and is supported by the early round of geochemical data. Significantly, the subsequent TLG allocation model suggests moderate (~5%) to very little overlap in contribution after 18 months. These conclusions illustrate that the modeled and measured SRV quickly change (over weeks to months) to geochemically measured DRV. The rapid change allows for the reconsideration of completions style and landing patterns in order to optimize resource extraction.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract For the last decades, only a few scattered wells have explored the thrust fold belt in Abu Dhabi, with inconclusive results about the hydrocarbon potentiality. Drilling was avoided in these areas in the past due to the geological complexity and unavailable technologies that would reveal the subsurface geometries. Previous studies attempted to resolve the petroleum system elements in Eastern Abu Dhabi; however, they are still challenging, and require thorough investigation. This paper is focusing on the integration of Jebel Jais outcrops in Ras Al Khaima with subsurface datasets (Geophysical and well data), which will help in understanding the subsurface structural trap geometries, reservoir and charge evolution and timing. The outcrops functioned as remarkable analogues for structural features that indicate complex tectonics of the region such as folding and faulting. They will also serve in guiding the mechanical and kinematic modeling of subsurface, where seismic image is undistinguishable. ADNOC has recently completed a Mega 3D seismic survey in Eastern Abu Dhabi with higher acquisition parameters compared to the legacy 2D and 3D seismic surveys. The early fast track Seismic processing results revealed additional structural styles, which will be refined with advanced seismic imaging techniques, and calibrated with potential data such as gravity and magnetics in later stages. The thrust nappes deformation and the fault-bend folds were observed in the outcrops. Most of thrusts are associated with strike-slip component and the detachment surface located at the base of Khuff units. Folding-stacked structures have different orientations with narrow duplexes that led to the growth of anticlinal stacked structures, which were the consequence of differential uplift of the rock units above the duplex, and were subjected to stretching. This process invoked strike-slip faulting along the lateral culmination wall and was facilitated by the regional, syn-thrusting arc–parallel transpression. Horizontal movement along the fault plane is a result of tear faulting accommodating a varied rate of advancement of Khuff units. The time of the fault formation is well-constrained post-Jurassic; however, the syn-thrusting origin showing its anticipation through Triassic onwards forming thrust-fold belt. This paper will provide insights from Jebel Jais Outcrops that will help in understanding the substantial undiscovered hydrocarbon resources and prepare for future exploration activities.

Manor, M. J., and S. J. Piercey. Whole-rock lithogeochemistry, Nd-Hf isotopes, and in situ zircon geochemistry of VMS-related felsic rocks, Finlayson Lake VMS district, Yukon. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/328992.
Full textAbstract:
The Finlayson Lake district in southeastern Yukon is composed of a Late Paleozoic arc-backarc system that consists of metamorphosed volcanic, plutonic, and sedimentary rocks of the Yukon-Tanana and Slide Mountain terranes. These rocks host &gt;40 Mt of polymetallic resources in numerous occurrences and styles of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization. Geochemical and isotopic data from these rocks support previous interpretations that volcanism and plutonism occurred in arc-marginal arc (e.g., Fire Lake formation) and continental back-arc basin environments (e.g., Kudz Ze Kayah formation, Wind Lake formation, and Wolverine Lake group) where felsic magmatism formed from varying mixtures of crust- and mantle-derived material. The rocks have elevated high field strength element (HFSE) and rare earth element (REE) concentrations, and evolved to chondritic isotopic signatures, in VMS-proximal stratigraphy relative to VMS-barren assemblages. These geochemical features reflect the petrogenetic conditions that generated felsic rocks and likely played a role in the localization of VMS mineralization in the district. Preliminary in situ zircon chemistry supports these arguments with Th/U and Hf isotopic fingerprinting, where it is interpreted that the VMS-bearing lithofacies formed via crustal melting and mixing with increased juvenile, mafic magmatism; rocks that were less prospective have predominantly crustal signatures. These observations are consistent with the formation of VMS-related felsic rocks by basaltic underplating, crustal melting, and basalt-crustal melt mixing within an extensional setting. This work offers a unique perspective on magmatic petrogenesis that underscores the importance of integrating whole-rock with mineral-scale geochemistry in the characterization of VMS-related stratigraphy.
