Full textAbstract:
The perception of artworks rarely—if ever—results in the instantiation of a determinate meaning. Instead, when entering an art gallery, we often expect Semantic Instability (SeIns): the experience of perceptual and cognitive habits being challenged. By comparing the experience of an artistic movie in an exhibition with the experience in a laboratory via the Continuous Evaluation Procedure, we found that the movie was less semantically unstable and more pleasing to the eyes of gallery visitors than to those of participants in the laboratory. These findings suggest that a gallery context might induce the expectation of perceptual challenge, thus decreasing the intensity of SeIns and at the same time heightening the appreciation of SeIns. Exhibition visitors might even be on the lookout for challenging experiences.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we discuss the exhibition Post-Opera, a complex and provocative curatorial project by Kris Dittel and Jelena Novak, in which the changeable relations between the voice and the (human) body are investigated from the creative and the theoretical perspectives, relying on juxtaposing and reflection between visual arts, technology and opera. Firstly, in the paper we examine the curatorial procedure, in its shift from the mediatory function between the work and the audience towards the practice, which intervenes in both of these domains and results in an exhibition as an autonomous art object. In the second part we interpret the politics and the effectiveness of the singing and the speaking voice in contemporary art and culture, while in the third part we write about the resemantization of the relation between the singing body and the sung voice within 'installing the operatic'.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual today is part of the new reality as the world starts to recognize its expediency. Virtual can branch out into multitudes of fields and usage with each one has its approach. Virtual tours in particular can be considered as one of the instruments capable of providing interactive elements in delivering mass access to information. The ease of accessibility is rather an opportunity than an option for anyone to explore. The purpose of this study is to understand the basic curatorial approach to organize a proper virtual gallery tour. Like its actual counterparts, the procedure is similar in many ways but with certain additional methodology. The research separates into three main curatorial stages mapping the actual gallery, constructing the virtual gallery, and publishing the tour. Each section discusses different methodologies which translate as a guideline to achieve that picture-perfect amalgamation. The research construes actual art exhibition as its plane of study to ensure that the evaluation is of the genuine result. The result is then assessed through its usability and accessibility for any interested individuals to practice. Conclusively, determine this research into providing a unification tool for any intuitional to organize their virtual gallery tour.

Full textAbstract:
Video installation art is a collaboration of sound, image, and space, with a closer relationship to music and art than to cinema. Accordingly, those working in this genre are often both artist and musician, a double role that represents a radical departure from the artist/musician divide of many other audio-visual genres. Because it is single authored, video installation can invert many elements of the filmmaking process: while it is common procedure to add a soundtrack to film during post-production, for instance, many video artists use sound as their starting point, often basing whole works on a musical structure. While such an inversion invites reconsideration of musical audibility and film narrative, video work, when installed, also challenges the notions of screen space and realism. An audience is no longer offered the single-point perspective of film, but is instead enveloped within a three-dimensional space. And as image expands beyond the four sides of the cinema screen – a space occupied previously by music alone – important questions are raised: what happens to music when film breaks from the containment of the screen? when it destroys its own boundaries? Focusing on the work of Bill Viola, this paper explores the ways in which video installation art confronts methods of film exhibition and audience engagement, and investigates how such confrontation redefines the roles of music and image in film.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of the paper is to analyze and assess the institutional conditions of the exhibition entitled Side by Side. Poland – Germany. 1000 years of Art and History, organized in Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin between September 23, 2011 and January 9, 2012. In terms of the number of works of art presented this undertaking was unprecedented in the history of Polish- German relations. The exhibition, and the catalogue that accompanied it, were a part of the Cultural Program of the Polish Presidency in the EU Council in 2011, becoming an exemplification of the issue of the politicization of exhibition discourse, where works of art are utilized for political purposes. The theoretical inspiration for considering this topic was provided by Peter Vergo’s concept presented in his text The reticent object of 1987. In Vergo’s opinion, exhibitions are a cultural fact which is relatively rarely investigated in terms of the means, efforts, conditions and reasons that are necessary for their execution. And yet these institutional conditions, including their financing, the procedures for selecting the entities in charge of the project, the mechanisms for appoint the program board and honorary patronage have a considerable influence on the nature of the exhibition. Concentrating on institutional contexts serves the purpose of answering the question of how the realms of politics and art exhibitions permeate one another. The decisions made by the authorities to become involved in certain exhibition projects constitute the instruments for creating and executing selected public policies, primarily cultural policy. It is therefore impossible to assess the success of a given initiative without considering the political objectives set and achieved by the organizers of the exhibition Side by Side.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we evaluated the effect of embryo vitrification using two different devices on adulthood phenotype in rabbits. In vitro development, prenatal embryo survival, body weight, growth performance, haematological and biochemical peripheral blood analysis, reproductive performance, and lactation performance traits were compared between the experimental groups. They derived from naturally-conceived embryos (NC), fresh-transferred embryos (FT), vitrified-transferred embryos using mini-straw (VTs), or vitrified-transferred embryos using Cryotop (VTc). Straw-vitrified embryos exhibited lower in vitro developmental rates and in vivo survival rates following embryo transfer compared to its Cryotop-vitrified counterparts. Moreover, the VTs group exhibited higher foetal losses than VTc, FT, and NC groups. Independently of the vitrification device, vitrified-transferred (VT) offspring showed a skewed sex ratio in favour of males, and an increased birth bodyweight. In contrast, postnatal daily growth was diminished in all ART (i.e., FT and VT) animals. In adulthood, significant differences in body weight between all groups was founded—all ART progenies weighed less than NC animals and, within ART, VT animals weighed less than FT. For VT groups, weight at adulthood was higher for the VTs group compared with the VTc group. Peripheral blood parameters ranged between common values. Moreover, no differences were found in the fertility rates between experimental groups. Furthermore, similar pregnancy rates, litter sizes, and the number of liveborns were observed, regardless of the experimental group. However, decreased milk yield occurred for VTc and FT animals compared to VTs and NC animals. A similar trend was observed for the milk composition of dry matter and fat. Concordantly, reduced body weight was found for suckling kits in the VTc and FT groups compared to VTs and NC animals. Our findings reveal that developmental changes after the embryo vitrification procedure could be associated with an exhibition of the embryonic developmental plasticity. Moreover, to our best knowledge, this study reports the first evidence demonstrating that the vitrification device used is not a trivial decision, providing valuable information about how the cooling–warming rates during vitrification can be partly responsible of the postnatal phenotypic variations.

Full textAbstract:
The Engadinerhaus is a typical historic Engadine collective building that combines all the functions of a farm and a residence into a single housing system. It is characterized by a distribution and structural scheme organized according to certain principles that give the artifacts an imposing and severe external appearance. These are very old buildings whose matrix can be placed between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries and which have undergone numerous transformations over time in order to adapt them to the changing needs of the agricultural world. The historical and documentary value of these important testimonies is already recognized at the beginning of the twentieth century and in 1905 the “Bündner Heimatschutz” is already promoting their protection in order to preserve their architectural and building features. The architect Hans-Jörg Ruch has recently worked on some projects for the re-functioning and restoration of these extraordinary buildings, which in some cases have kept their residential use, while in other cases they have been converted into exhibition spaces and art galleries. The buildings presented in this essay – such as the Chesa Andrea in Madulain, the Chesa Büsin in Silvaplana, the Chesa Madalena in Zuoz, the Chesa Merleda in La Punt, the Chesa Not in Tschlin and the Chesa Perini in S-Chanf – are just one selection of the works realized in Engadine by Ruch. New interior volumes, such as a “house in the house”, or even veils and walls with shapes and materials that strongly reveal their contemporaneity, are inserted in the original spaces of the old building left unaltered. These interventions show an unprecedented and original dialectic between the preservation of the materic character of the historical artifact and the unveiling of new meanings and spatiality, through architectural, constructive and material solutions affected by contemporary artistic procedure.

Galápagos-Riesenschildkröten sind ausschließlich auf dem Galápagos-Archipel im Pazifischen Ozean zu finden. Dort leben sie sowohl in regennassen Regionen als auch in Gebieten mit spärlicher Vegetation. Sie sind tagaktiv und wandern vom Hochland zu ihren Eiablageplätzen in wärmeren Küstengebieten. Sie können ein sehr hohes Alter erreichen, in der Regel werden sie 50–80 Jahre alt. Im Jahr 2020 verzeichnete das Europäische Zuchtbuch für Galápagos-Riesenschildkröten 108 Tiere in 23 Zoos und Einrichtungen. In Europa wird diese Art in 12 Zoos gezeigt, darunter in Rostock und Hoyerswerda. Im Jahr 2012 wurden im Rostocker Zoo fünf Tiere gehalten, die alle aus dem Zoo Zürich kamen. Im Juni 2019 wurde eine der fünf Schildkröten, Elvida, tot in ihrem Gehege aufgefunden. Elvida wurde zur Sektion an das Leibniz-Institut für Zoo- und Wildtierforschung in Berlin übergeben. Danach wurde sie im Museum für Naturkunde Berlin präpariert. Die Präparation erfolgte mit einem Imprägnierverfahren, bei dem das Wasser der Zellen durch Polyethylenglykol (PEG) ersetzt wird. Seit Dezember 2020 ist das Exponat der Galápagos-Riesenschildkröte Elvida Teil der Zoologischen Sammlung der Universität Rostock, wo es den Studierenden für Lehrzwecke zur Verfügung steht und Teil der Ausstellung ist. Relocation of a Galapagos giant tortoise from the Zoological Garden to the Zoological Collection Abstract: Galápagos giant tortoises are found exclusively on the Galápagos archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. There they live both in rain-wet regions and in areas with sparse vegetation. They are diurnal and migrate from the highlands to their egg-laying sites in warmer coastal areas. They can reach a very old age, usually they live 50–80 years. In 2020, the European Studbook for Galápagos giant tortoises listed 108 animals in 23 zoos and institutions. In Europe, this species is kept in 12 zoos, including Rostock and Hoyerswerda. Five individuals were kept at Rostock Zoo in 2012, all of which came from Zurich Zoo. In June 2019, one of the five tortoises, Elvida, was found dead in her enclosure. Elvida was handed over to the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin for dissection. After finishing the dissection, it was prepared at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. The preparation was carried out with an impregnation procedure in which the water of the cells is replaced by polyethylene glycol (PEG). Since December 2020, the exhibit of the Galápagos giant tortoise Elvida has been part of the Zoological Collection of the University of Rostock, where it is available to students for teaching purposes and is part of the exhibition.

"Natural object or element of an artwork? Case Study: Artists, Artworks and Exhibitions in Cluj, Romania. In this article, we discuss the relationship between art and natural objects such as stuffed animals, skins, bones, dried plants or minerals and their aesthetical value from their position as artworks or elements of an artwork. In Cluj, between 2017 and 2019, artworks and exhibitions which integrate this type of practices and natural history materiality flourished. We aim to compose an inventory that could contribute to the archive of local art events, artworks, and artists in order to serve further analysis of local specificity, which could eventually find relevance in the theoretic approaches of art. In conclusion, we underline some of the theoretical approaches of the dynamics of natural object’s values and of the procedures established by organizations such as museums and galleries.

This exegesis outlines the procedures, processes and methodology used in developing a significant body of studio work that investigates the dominance of the screen-image in contemporary art and culture. Following the established modes of practice-based research, the outcomes can be seen in two phases: the work developed and exhibited during the candidature, and the culminating submission exhibition. All the outputs resulted from intensive studio practice, although without using the studio as a hermetic environment, but rather as the base for practice attuned to the feedback loop of constant interaction and review of the most recent developments in exhibition practice and technique. All of the works discussed in the exegesis and developed towards the final submission demonstrate the progressive interrogation of the production of a screen-image from primitive forms such as the camera obscure through to the high-definition digital television image. A clear evolution is evident in the forms and strategies for dealing with the relationship between the screen and the machinations and industry that is behind bringing the image to fruition. The final submission exhibition brings these processes to a point of conclusion, if not resolution, where the material production experience and knowledge of the limits of the technology combine to demonstrate a new understanding of the impact of digitally generated screen-images and the role of the image in the age of new technology...<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Queensland College of Art<br>Queensland College of Art<br>Full Text

Full textAbstract:
Heidi Kumao: Real and Imagined documents and contextualizes narrative fabric works and animations from Kumao’s 2020 solo exhibition at the University of Michigan’s Stamps Gallery. Using fabric cutouts and stitching of everyday objects, Kumao invents a tactile visual vocabulary that distills unspoken aspects of ordinary exchanges into accessible narrative images. Weaving in her experiences as an Asian American woman, artist, and educator, Kumao creates poetic and playful open-ended visual haikus, generating a range of associations to current events, gender roles, and institutional power structures. Captured midstream, interactions from intimate relationships, medical procedures, the workplace, and the political sphere are suspended in time within felt film stills. Real and Imagined presents the reader with an opportunity to experience this remarkable oeuvre of over thirty fabric works and video animations. For over thirty years, Kumao has developed an expanded art practice that includes animations, video installations, photographs, machine art, and fabric works that give physical form to the intangible parts of our lives: our emotions, psychological states, memories, thinking patterns. Her hybrid artworks have included electromechanical girl’s legs that “misbehave,” video installations about surviving confinement, surreal, experimental stop motion puppet animations, performative staged photographs, and hand crafted cinema machines. She has exhibited her award-winning artwork in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including the Art Science Museum Singapore, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, the Museum of Image and Sound (São Paulo) and the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires. Her work is in permanent and private collections including the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Arizona State University Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Exploratorium in San Francisco. She has received fellowships and grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Creative Capital Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This exhibition catalogue marks the first significant publication on Kumao’s work and includes a selection of works from across her career. It includes written contributions by: Srimoyee Mitra, curator and Director of the Stamps Gallery and NYC-based art critic; Wendy Vogel; an interview between the artist and writer Lynn Love; and poems by the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize Award winner Marilyn Chin.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This Handbook provides a transnational reference point for critical engagements with the legacies of, and futures for, global archaeological collections. It challenges the common misconception that museum archaeology is simply a set of procedures for managing and exhibiting assemblages. Instead, this volume advances museum archaeology as an area of reflexive research and practice, addressing the critical issues of what gets prioritized by and researched in museums, by whom, how, and why. Through 28 newly commissioned chapters, authors problematize and suggest new ways of thinking about historic, contemporary, and future relationships between archaeological fieldwork and museums, as well as the array of institutional and cultural paradigms through which archaeological enquiries are mediated. Case studies embrace not just archaeological finds, but also archival field notes, photographic media, archaeological samples, and replicas. Throughout, museum activities are put into dialogue with other aspects of archaeological practice, with the aim of situating museum work within a more holistic archaeology, one that does not privilege excavation or field survey above other aspects of disciplinary engagement. These concerns are grounded in the realities of museums internationally, including those in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe. In so doing, the common heritage sector refrain ‘best practice’ is not be assumed to solely emanate from developed countries or European philosophies, but will instead be considered as emerging from, and being accommodated within, local concerns and diverse museum cultures.

Full textAbstract:
One of the major consequences of the Cold War and the commingling of scientific and military interests by world powers was the increasingly secretive nature of scientific research. From the Manhattan Project onwards, the free exchange implicit in the collective enterprise of scientific knowledge production became regulated and increasingly clandestine. Neal White's artistic research is explicitly engaged in interrogating both the investigative procedures of science as method and the ways in which these procedures can be turned toward an investigation of secrecy itself. In their discussion, Beck and White explore the ideas and practices that inform White's conception of art as a mode of experimental research. Central to this project is what White calls 'overt research,' whereby the spaces of techno-scientific and military-industrial enterprise are explored through the documentation of physical sites and material evidence. In the exhibition Dark Places (Hansard Gallery, Southampton, 2009), White and others explored the ways in which such places are both embedded and imaginatively narrated as part of a contemporary UK landscape. White’s projects are discussed in relation to issues shaped by Cold War research: secrecy, surveillance, accountability, participation, and the power relations implicit in knowledge production.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction analyzes the activities of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee (CVR), its public fact-gathering tribunals, 2003 final report, and sponsored photography exhibition (Yuyanapaq: Para recordar). Both the thorough final report and internationally acclaimed Yuyanapaq exhibit contain many images of indigenous and mestizo peasants and victims, but ambivalent references to ethnicity, indigeneity, the Quechua language, or Andean values and cultures. Furthermore, there was insufficient effort to involve Andean victims in the process of creating the CVR, determining its focus and procedures, processing the information gathered, or proposing future directions (none of the commissioners were indigenous, and only one spoke Quechua). In the end, the indigenous and mestizo victims are objects of examination rather than empowered actors in the reconciliation efforts. This introductory chapter suggests that creative cultural products may fill in the gaps created by official narratives, challenge the role of Andean cultures in dominant views of the nations, and suggest alternative directions for transitional justice efforts.

Full textAbstract:
The constituent elements of the Roman Mosaic from Constanta are damaged under the activities of microorganisms present both on surfaces and in the airborne microbes. The predominance of microorganisms on the different surfaces of the edifice has led to multiple damage such as discoloration, pigmentation, wall degradation and exposed ceramic objects. Through this study we aimed to invest the diversity of microorganisms on the various substrates and levels as well as microclimate conditions. From the samples collected there were isolated and identified microorganisms, many of them with pathogenicity risks for staff and visitors. Thus, for the improvement of the surrounding conditions of the Roman Mosaic exhibition room, the need for management is aimed at reducing the microbial contaminations, based on understanding the changing conditions in the microclimate and decreasing the damage biofilm. Our study can be seen in a broader procedural in the current COVID-19 pandemic conditions.

Full textAbstract:
In 1991, the isolation and characterization of nitrogen heterocyclic carbene (NHCs) prompted the discovery of a new class of chemical compounds. NHCs have developed academic curiosity as one of the most potent tools in organic chemistry, exhibiting its utility in commercially relevant protocols. NHCs are cyclic compounds with a divalent carbon atom bonded to at least one nitrogen atom. The size of the carbene ring, the substituent moieties on the nitrogen atoms, and the extra atoms within the heterocycle can be changed to produce a variety of distinct NHCs with various electrical properties. They make excellent ligands in coordination chemistry because of their ability to act as donors and the consequent stable bonds with most transition metals. Free NHCs have also been used as organocatalysts in chemical reactions that require no metals. This chapter provides an outline of the N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Contemporary Chemistry, including their general properties and highlighting the essential structural and electronic features of different NHCs along with their synthetic procedure.

Full textAbstract:
We present the theory of distributed Markov chains (DMCs). A DMC consists of a collection of communicating probabilistic agents in which the synchronizations determine the probability distribution for the next moves of the participating agents. The key feature of a DMC is that the synchronizations are deterministic, in the sense that any two simultaneously enabled synchronizations involve disjoint sets of agents. Using our theory of DMCs we show how one can analyze the behavior using the interleaved semantics of the model. A key point is, the transition system which defines the interleaved semantics is—except in degenerate cases—not a Markov chain. Hence one must develop new techniques to analyze these behaviors exhibiting both concurrency and stochasticity. After establishing the core theory we develop a statistical model checking procedure which verifies the dynamical properties of the trajectories generated by the the model. The specifications consist of Boolean combinations of component-wise bounded linear time temporal logic formulas. We also provide a probabilistic Petri net representation of DMCs and use it to derive a probabilistic event structure semantics.

Full textAbstract:
Magnesium borates are compounds including mainly magnesium (Mg), boron (B) oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H). Magnesium borates are traditionally famous for their strong thermoluminescence, mechanical and thermal features due to their high elasticity coefficient, corrosion, and heat resistance. Because of being beneficial, especially in the applications such as thermoluminescence and X-ray screening, and ease of synthesis, magnesium borates are produced by using different experimental procedures exhibiting different characteristics. Main traditional synthesis techniques can be classified as liquid state and solid-state synthesis methods. With the help of novelties in synthesis technology, new techniques are beginning to emerge in magnesium borate syntheses such as hybrid synthesis, ultrasound, microwave, and capping agent addition. The strengthened characteristics of the compounds would lead to new applications such as stomach cancer chemotherapy and wastewater treatment. In this chapter, it is aimed to make a comparison between the characteristics of synthesized magnesium borates and their properties. In addition, new types of magnesium borates obtained by various synthetic techniques are expected to be useful for industrial applications such as space technology, radiation dosimetry, X-ray screening, ion batteries, and hydrocarbon reaction catalysis. Such classification of properties and the synthesis techniques will enlighten the relationship between the characteristics and novel applications of magnesium borates.

Full textAbstract:
CRISPR technology has seen rapid development in applications ranging from genomic and epigenetic changes to protein identification throughout the last decade. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) protein systems have transformed the ability to edit, control the genomic nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid target such as detection of proteins. CRISPR/Cas systems are RNA-guided endonucleases exhibiting distinct cleavage activities deployed in the development of analytical techniques. Apart from genome editing technology, CRISPR/Cas has also been incorporated in amplified detection of proteins, transcriptional modulation, cancer biomarkers, and rapid detection of POC (point of care) diagnostics for various diseases such as Covid-19. Current protein detection methods incorporate sophisticated instrumentation and extensive sensing procedures with less reliable, quantitative, and sensitive detection of proteins. The precision and sensitivity brought in by CRISPR-dependent detection of proteins will ensure the elimination of current impediments. CRISPR-based amplification strategies have been used for accurate estimation of proteins including aptamer-based assay, femtomolar detection of proteins in living cells, immunoassays, and isothermal proximal assay for high throughput. The chapter will provide a comprehensive summary of key developments in emerging tools of genome editing and protein detection deploying CRISPR technology, and its future perspectives will be discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Previous approaches to creativity have often focused on the person or problem domain, as well as the task itself. In this book, we have focused on the task: a difficult problem is one that has no ready solution or even the means to a solution. Some consequences of this perspective are as follows: • Creativity is a matter of degree. The operant question is not “Is this result creative?” but rather “How creative?” • Creativity is a domain-independent concept. An accountant may be creative, as may a shopkeeper or a musician. • All of us face difficult problems from time to time. We may be creative at one point, and uncreative at another. • Creativity involves purposive novelty. Originality or diversity is a necessary component of creativity, but diversity in itself is not a sufficient factor if it does not resolve the referent problem. • As encapsulated in the Multidistance Principle, the solution must incorporate components exhibiting some properties that are distant, and others that are close. • If creativity is a form of higher-order problem solving, itself a cornerstone of general intelligence, then there exist rational approaches to enhancing creative results. • An effective procedure for dealing with difficult problems lies in the Method of Directed Refinement. • Active failure is the highway to success. • Productivity in project managment involves the pursuit of a select number of parallel activities: too few, and efficiency suffers through slack time; too many, and overhead paralyzes productivity. • Our social institutions, including the educational system, encourage conformity— a homogeneity often leading to mediocrity rather than harmony. For each problem of consequence, we should rather seed myriad ideas and cultivate multiple solutions. • Supervision of creative individuals is a delicate affair involving both intervention and insulation. It calls for inspiring action at a distance, without undermining interest nor tainting intrinsic drive. In this book, we have partitioned the components of creativity into five factors: purpose, diversity, relationships, imagery, and externalization. The purpose of the creative effort defines the problem to be resolved.

Full textAbstract:
The life expectancy of gas turbine components is strongly dependant on the service conditions in which they operate. Diverse factors can reduce the life dramatically, or can extend it far beyond what was originally predicted by the Original Equipment Manufacturer. In order to examine the condition of the casing, compressor blading, stationary turbine vanes, and rotating turbine blades, nondestructive inspection has been performed more frequently as part of an overhaul. During inspections, visual examination is usually the only method used. Hot corrosion, oxidation or overaging of the blades may not be obvious during such an inspection. The most accurate method of evaluation involves the removal of the parts from the unit, complete visual and penetrant inspection, metallurgical evaluation, and destructive mechanical testing. Yet, complete disassembly only takes place if obvious problems are found. Microstructural analysis and physical testing in such situations add much to the condition assessment. Although many in-situ techniques have been in place for years, applying them to the evaluation of gas turbine components has been limited. When nondestructive inspection is done regularly, the art of evaluation and life assessment can become more scientific. The risk of failure can be reduced and the component life extended. This paper describes the procedure for preparation and examination.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Maintaining the integrity of the drilling-fluid column is vital for safety and operational efficiency. Stable, controlled fluid density provides a primary pressure barrier during the drilling phase. Non-aqueous fluids (NAFs) provide huge benefits for nearly all aspects of difficult drilling situations, yet still can have challenges related to weight suspension. The geometry and annular restrictions of modern well designs often demand low fluid rheology parameters to avoid excessive circulating pressures, and this unsurprisingly increases the risks of sagging weight material. Given the importance of understanding the fluid behaviors in these situations, operators and service companies have made significant efforts to develop reliable sag testing methods. Older methods of testing neglected movement and instead centered on mimicking the downhole conditions such as temperature and hydrostatic pressure. Variations of this static aging method addressed the critical angle where Boycott settling accelerates the sag. More complex, dynamic methods were devised later in time to provide greater insight on sag behaviors. Although engineers and scientists have made numerous strides to create a definitive sag test, the current tests have limited capabilities. Very few are capable of working in an offshore environment. Sag events continue to be costly and problematic to operators’ main objectives of drilling and completing their wells safely and efficiently. The authors address results from the current state of the art in sag testing and compare these to a proprietary dynamic procedure created in 2019. While the method is still in development, its capabilities have been well defined. Fluid samples are kept in constant motion at low-ranging shear rates and elevated temperatures to simulate sag-prone conditions downhole. Results indicate a high degree of correlation to the expected sag with different sizes of barite in low-ECD fluids.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Bati Raman field, with an original oil in place of 1.85 billion barrels, is a naturally fractured carbonate reservoir containing 9-13 °API extra heavy oil with viscosities varying from 300 to 600 cp. Not only a wide range of pilot EOR schemes including gas, thermal and chemical methods, but also novel IOR applications have been tried in the field. CO2 injection was a game changer for this reservoir which has been the main drive mechanism since 1987. Since then, various techniques are applied to further improve the production performance of the field. This study focuses on the design and outcome of the pilot acid fracturing treatments in selected three wells in the tighter and less fractured southeastern part of the reservoir. State of the art planning included full evaluation of well integrity, cement bond and open hole logs, geomechanics studies augmented with rock mechanics laboratory tests. Laboratory tests were also conducted focusing on sludge/emulsion forming tendencies and acid reaction rates. Using these results, expected fracture dimensions were predicted along with production forecasts. In all wells, pre-frac calibration tests were conducted to assess stress conditions and fracturing parameter optimization. The treatments were then executed, improving the procedure between each well for acid fracturing. Injections schemes were operationally efficient and various diversion techniques were used to mitigate the presence of naturally fractured zones. Pre and post-job temperature logs helped to evaluate each treatment. The results from the wells were very positive; total production rate increased about fivefold, observed within one month after the treatments. No considerable change in water or CO2 production in the wells was observed which had been one of the most important objectives during the candidate selection process. One well was suspended, which turned out to be one of the producers of the field after acid fracturing treatment. Each well had a different post-frac production performance because of its geological characteristics and flow dynamics, making the study more valuable for better understanding of the process. The wells are still on critical observation to assess the nature of the created fractures and their longevity in the long run. Even after twelve to fifteen months of production, which is the breaking point period for fracture closure, the overall production level of the wells was double compared to pre-frac rates. One well still has a fracture dominated production while other two changed back into its pre-frac rates. Based on these results, acid fracturing campaign was extended in the area which is currently under evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The development of automatable high sensitivity analytical methods for tracer detection has been one of the most central challenges to realize ubiquitous full-field tracer deployment to study reservoirs with many cross-communicating injector and producer wells. Herein we report a tracer analysis approach, inspired by strategies commonly utilized in the biotechnology industry, that directly addresses key limitations in process throughput, detection sensitivity and automation potential of state-of-the-art technologies. A two-dimensional high performance liquid chromatography (2D-HPLC) method was developed for the rapid fluorescence detection and simultaneous identification of a class of novel barcoded tracers in produced water down to ultra-trace concentration ranges (&lt;1ppb), matching the sensitivity of tracer technologies currently used in the oil industry. The sample preparation process throughput was significantly intensified by judicious adaptations of off-the-shelf biopharma automation solutions. The optical detection sensitivity was further improved by the time-resolved luminescence of the novel tracer materials that allows the negation of residual background signals from the produced water. To showcase the potential, we applied this powerful separation and detection methodology to analyze field samples from two recent field validations of a novel class of optically detectable tracers, in which two novel tracers were injected along with a benchmarking conventional fluorobenzoic acid (FBA)-based tracer. The enhanced resolving power of the 2D chromatographic separation drastically suppressed the background signal, enabling the optical detection of a tracer species injected at 10x lower concentration. Further, we orthogonally confirmed the detection of this tracer species by the industry standard high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry (HRAM) technique, demonstrating comparable limits of detection. Tracer detection profile indicated that the transport behavior of the novel optical tracers through highly saline and retentive reservoir was similar to that of FBAs, validating the performance of this new class of tracers. Promising steps toward complete automation of the tracer separation and detection procedure have drastically reduced manual interventions and decreased the analysis cycle time, laying solid foundation to full-field deployment of tracers for better reservoir characterizations to inform decisions on production optimization. This paper outlines the automatable tracer detection methodology that has been developed for robustness and simplicity, so that efficient utilization of the resultant high-resolution tracer data can be applied toward improving production strategy via intelligent and active rate adjustments.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper is based on successful implementation of procedural automation of Ethane (C2) recovery - rejection mode change using Yokogawa's Exapilot software, wherein ADNONC Gas Processing Habshan 5 & Sulphur management approved the implementation based on similar success of the Sulphur Recover Unit start-up/shutdown procedural automation & company's drive for digitalisation. Scope was to develop modules for automating C2 Recovery /Rejection change over procedure in NGL unit using M/s Yokogawa Exapilot software. These automated procedures aimed to standardize said mode change over operations by incorporating the operating know how and the expertise of skilled-experienced operators into the Exapilot system as a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are executed in right operating sequence for enhanced operating efficiency. Two main procedures & associated modules were designed, engineered and built using Exapilot to enable single-click change over automation for NGL units. Those were validated with operation and deployed in the Exapilot Server and were integrated with the Operator Consoles (HIS) for access, and was supplemented with operator training. Ethane Recovery to Rejection Mode Change Ethane Rejection to Recovery Mode Change Besides standardization and reduced change over time, this improved the critical asset integrity and lifespan of NGL section equipment by advocating systematic operations. Following benefits including major take away from this project: ➢ Standardized the mode change-over procedures & minimized human error by the digitalization of paper documentation procedures into electronic workflow process. Procedural Automation like Exapilot is powerful tool for digital transformation of batch/discrete operation like unit/equipment start-up/shutdown or grade/mode change over. ➢ Reduced inherent delay due to manual change over. Hence, minimizing the loss-opportunities & operating cost. Besides this tool can be used as training tool (when used in offline mode) which help operator succession plan & effective knowledge transfer ➢ Automated critical operation such as temperature/flow ramping, improved equipment integrity and prolonged equipment life. Procedural Automation using Exapilot thus can improve operation efficiency, asset integrity, equipment or material life span This paper presents a success story of procedural automation of batch operation in continuation of similar success in SRU start-up & shutdown automation. This tool along with proper integration work with DCS, has opened door for automation/digitalization in batch operation in continuous process not only in other sites of ADNOC Gas Processing and other ADNOC Group Companies but also in other industries that helps companies to enhance efficiency and fulfil their digitalization journey. Though Exapilot software belongs to M/s Yokogawa, however other DCS systems have similar software such as Honeywell DCS EPKS has E-procedure for procedural automation.

"Sharpening a Cyclic Solvent Injection Technique in a Heavy Oil Reservoir from the Variation of the Nitrogen Injected as Dispersing: A Field Pilot, Colombia." In SPE Europec featured at 82nd EAGE Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/205228-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper analyzes the use of a cyclic solvent injection technique (CSI) as a non-thermal EOR alternative to cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) for increasing the heavy oil recovery in a shallow reservoir located at the middle Magdalena basin in Colombia. A pilot well with less than 30% of water-cut and 10.9 °API was selected. Heavy natural gasoline of 30 °API obtained from the same reservoir was injected by using nitrogen (N2) as dispersing gas. Three procedures were performed being the procedure A, a Solvent slug injection of 60 bbl through the annular pushed and dispersed by 46,444 m3 (1,640 Mscf) of N2 immiscible (considering the low reservoir pressure). The procedure B consisted of injecting the same Solvent volume, but this time pushed by a third part of the N2 injected previously 15,481 m3 (547 Mscf). The procedure C consisted of only inject the same N2 volume than B procedure to analyze the heavy oil response without Solvent. There were collected production data, °API (by hydrometer), gas-flow and gas-gravity values using a liquid level software. Knowing the °API of each component in the laboratory—Solvent and heavy oil—the Solvent concentration from the real °API produced in production stages was calculated. All procedures had 48 hours of soaking, followed by a flowing process to tank to carefully release the excess of N2 before starting the production stage, avoiding gas lock issues. Without considering the Solvent injected, incremental oil production in procedure A was 232 bbl, in procedure B was 120 bbl and for procedure C, incremental oil only reached 11 bbl. With the last result it was determined the N2 injection by itself as a production mechanism without the Solvent effect in the in-situ heavy oil had a negligible effect on incremental oil. The gas-gravity showed the gas composition became heavier along the time, this considering the high-frequency N2 injections swept the methane near the well, requiring more time to produce the N2 traces from the porous media. The excess of N2 as a heavy Solvent dispersing mechanism does not warrant a better dilution effect since as observed in A and B procedures, Solvent concentration in the early production stage never dropped below 35% (17 °API), regardless of the N2 volume injected in the first two days. Finally, although A procedure had more incremental oil production (+93% than B), less N2 injected in B procedure was more efficient (+55% than A) regarding the incremental oil and N2 injected ratio (ONR).

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes developments in technologies, engineering and analysis, and regulatory provisions relating to arctic Escape Evacuation and Rescue (EER). The developing national and international regulatory performance based regime has necessitated the development of tools for the evaluation and setting of performance based goals such as availability and reliability requirements, mirrored in current draft Transport Canada and ISO standards. To facilitate the reliability assessment and consequent setting of reliability targets in the Canadian standards, a multifaceted research and development program was initiated in parallel with its regulatory developments. Full scale manned and model tests, engineering and computer simulation, and world wide consultations and studies on human performance in life threatening conditions, comprise this R&D program. Use of conventional EER systems and technologies has limited applicability in ice populated waters, requiring the development of systems and procedures suited to the environmental, operational, and logistical requirements of arctic offshore regions. The paper summarizes available and emerging regulatory, modeling and research, and technological developments in arctic EER and gives recommendations on a number of promising directions.

In IADC/SPE International Drilling Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/208717-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) in Surface Back Pressure (SBP) mode can recover from an influx efficiently if well conditions, MPD system capabilities and recovery procedures are understood and executed accordingly. A considerable number of operational and contingency procedures are required to execute MPD on a deepwater rig. The Driller remains responsible for well safety and he/she must work with the MPD Operator to conduct these procedures expediently to remain within the agreed MPD operational envelope. Changes in conditions, especially when an influx is detected, requires an immediate and correct response between the Driller and MPD Operator. It can be challenging to have multipage procedures for rig floor personnel to react to an influx. By the time the procedure is referenced, the influx may have exceeded the agreed MPD Operations Matrix’ limits. This paper's authors have developed a concise decision tree to better enable the Driller and MPD Operator's response to a potential influx. Certain steps need to be taken quickly by both members to limit influx size and stay within the agreed MPD Operations Matrix. Depending on influx size, water depth and well depth, further decisions may need to be taken to either circulate the influx up the riser or perform a MPD assisted shut in. The aid that has been developed and implemented on a recent deepwater well, is the MPD Influx Management Decision Tree (IMDT). The IMDT is a single page, graphical representation of a multipage procedure normally written for influx management in MPD operations. Using decision tree logic shapes, as well as an assigned color scheme, the Driller and MPD Operator can quickly navigate the MPD influx management procedure to bring the well under control. The IMDT: Prescribes who does what action and in what sequence. Is consistent with the MPD Operations Matrix color scheme (yellow, red). Illustrates decision points to be made by the Driller / MPD Operator as they execute the procedure. IMDT specific content may vary from project to project. The value of IMDT is in how the agreed steps are clearly, concisely and logically conveyed to the Driller and MPD Operator. The one-page format means both the Driller and MPD Operator can have it readily available should it be required.

Full textAbstract:
The conductivity of thermal interface materials are typically determined using procedures detailed in ASTM D 5470. The disadvantages of using these existing procedures for compliant materials are discussed along with a proposed new procedure for determining thermal conductivity and Young’s modulus. The new procedure, denoted as the Bulk Resistance Method, is based on experimentally determined thermal resistance data and an analytical model for thermal resistance in joints incorporating thermal interface materials. Two versions of the model are presented, the Simple Bulk Resistance Model, based on the interface material thickness prior to loading and a more precise version denoted as the General Bulk Resistance Model, that includes additional parameters such as surface characteristics and thermophysical properties of the contacting solids. Both methods can be used to predict material in situ thickness as a function of load.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Historically, leak-off analyses of stimulation fluids have been performed using in-house laboratory procedures. The lack of industry standard procedures to perform leak-off and wall building coefficient analyses of stimulation fluids has introduced inconsistency in both results and reporting for many years. A technical standard adopted in 2006 by both API and ISO for static conditions has provided the oil and gas industry with the first standardized procedure to measure and report leak-off1. However, the more complex testing under dynamic conditions was not addressed. As a result, a group of industry experts have compiled their years of experiences in developing a new technical standard to measure the leak-off characteristics of stimulation and gravel-pack fluids under dynamic flow conditions. Stimulation and gravel-pack fluids are defined, for the purpose of this technical standard, as fluids used to enhance production from oil and gas wells by fracturing and fluids used to place filtration media to control formation sand production from oil and gas wells. Leak-off is the amount of fluid lost to porous media during these operations. The leak-off procedure was developed through the colaberation of several industry companies by evaluating numerous in-house laboratory techniques and conducting round robin testing to ensure that any modifications to these procedures were reliable and repeatable. The new standard provides a step-by-step procedure that includes fluid preparation, experimental equipment design, testing procedure and data analyses for fluids exhibiting viscosity controlled leak-off or wall building characteristics. Example calculations are reviewed within this paper.
