Abstract:
The last few decades have seen a rise in the number of studies on Christian missions. These studies are located within a wide range of fields and are written from different perspectives. They tend to abide by national boundaries and to focus on mission organizations and missionaries, not least because of the availability of source material in Western languages. Recent historiography on Christian missions to the Middle East, however, has seen a profound change in approach, methodology, and sources. We can locate three main shifts: a national to a transnational approach, a reevaluation of local agency, and a new emphasis on unintended consequences.

Abstract:
In the first decades of the nineteenth century, when the Middle East and North Africa first began to attract the sustained attention of European imperialism and colonialism, Arab, Ottoman Turkish, and Iranian polities began a protracted experiment with army modernization. These decades saw a mania in the Middle East for the import of European methods of military organization and techniques of warfare. Everywhere, in the Ottoman Empire, North Africa, Egypt, and Iran, nizam-i jadid (new order) regiments sprang up, sometimes on the ruins of older military formations, sometimes alongside them, unleashing a process of military-led modernization that was to characterize state-building projects throughout the region until well into the twentieth century. The ruling dynasties in these regions embarked on army reform in a desperate effort to strengthen their defensive capacity, and to resist growing European hegemony and direct or indirect control by imitating European methods of military organization and warfare. Almost every indigenous ruler who succeeded in evading or warding off direct European control, from the sultans of pre-Protectorate Morocco in the west to the shahs of the Qajar dynasty in Iran in the east, invited European officers, sometimes as individuals, sometimes as formal missions, to assist with building a modern army. With the help of these officers, Middle Eastern rulers thus sought to appropriate the secrets of European power.

Abstract:
The logic of the American approach to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Syria – both in policy and practice – bears striking resemblance to the U.S. approach to Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite policies of restraint, it has proven difficult to stop the inertia of war, be it against Communism or terrorism. As this inertia grows, so too does illogical entanglement. Such deepening involvement, whether in Vietnam or the Global War on Terror, often results in combat forces undertaking nation- and state-building missions that they are not designed for, yet have been doing for almost two decades.

Abstract:
From a practitioner perspective, the study explores what the three regional peacekeeping missions – UNDOF, UNIFIL and UNTSO - may do ‘the day after’ peace accords were in place, relative to potential security arrangements on the Syria and Lebanon tracks. The inquiry looks at the ‘mechanics’ of the security implementation system after peace accords are in place; the role of the UN in assisting peace implementation and potential improvements; the future validity of prior negotiation positions and the possible effect of seminal transitions in the Middle East, prior to an outcome of the Syria conflict. As an example, the study considers the experience of Egypt after the peace treaty with Israel, and the security arrangements in the Sinai. The study finds that the traditional peacekeeping or military monitoring operations are well-suited to post-accord security arrangement facilitation, and highlights the primary value of traditional peacekeeping missions as confidence-building mechanisms, supporting the development of state relationships.

Abstract:
This article examines language instruction and religious and socio-political identity formation in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American Protestant and French Jesuit missionary institutions in Lebanon. It compares French, English and Arabic language education policies at Saint Joseph University (Université Saint-Joseph), Syrian Protestant College (now the American University in Beirut) and the American Syria Mission schools under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the USA. The article considers the mutual transformations in the encounter between missionaries and Lebanese students and addresses the relationship between language learning and educational, literary and nationalist development in the Middle East. Emphasising the agency of Arabic-speaking Ottoman subjects and their reciprocal relationship with missionaries, it argues that before the turn of the century, those individuals who acquired a foreign language and excelled in literary Arabic charted the course toward social, cultural and political change in the twentieth century.

Injuried veterans. The reality of life after returning from a missionThis publication is devoted to problems of veterans injured returnees to the country after missions beyond the borders of our state. Polish military missions have existed for over 60 years. It was a total of 80 operations and foreign missions in wich participated our soldiers and military personnel. Over those 60 years did not return to the country in 1142 participants, including 22 killed in Iraq and 39 in Afghanistan. The first three Polish soldiers were killed in 1955 in a helicopter crash in Korea. They were using the language of military losses irreversible, but in addition to the dead, we must realize that in the course of carring out their duties in additions to the dead and wounded are also victims who return to the homeland. During the operations in the Middle East were injured 500 Poles. 10 years of polish participation in the Afghan war victims have been injured and more than 600 injured, 300 seriously injured. What the Polish state mode to compensate former participants of the mission their services abroad, when they became veterans injured. Undoubtedly step facing front of the long term expectations of many victims of the Mission is the Act 19 August 2011 by veterans of activities outside the country, wich is decidated to this publication.

Abstract:
La franc-maçonnerie apparaît être, dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe, un élément essentiel du développement intellectuel et culturel du Bilâd al-Shâm. Ses membres sont impliqués dans le mouvement de renaissance intellectuelle Nahda, qui profite de l’ère politique nouvelle de l’Empire ottoman ouverte par les tanzimat. Dans ce contexte, les conflits religieux continuent d’agiter une société confessionnalisée, que les francs-maçons entraînent dans la voie du progrès, de la modernité et de la laïcité. Dans la 1e partie de la thèse, on présente la franc-maçonnerie dans sa réalité concrète à Beyrouth et au Mont Liban, prenant pour modèles deux loges, Palestine et Le Liban, mais aussi dans sa dimension spirituelle. Le processus d’intégration de la franc-maçonnerie et d’inculturation dans le milieu arabe est souligné, de même que le rôle que les francs-maçons font jouer à la Société Scientifique Syrienne. L’émir Muhammad Arslan, franc-maçon et réformateur, est présentée en tant qu’exemple d’une Aufklärung arabe. La 2e partie de la thèse montre le dialogue stérile entre francs-maçons et jésuites en Syrie ottomane. Le jugement sur l’entrée des croyants en franc-maçonnerie que porte un savant musulman, est présenté à partir de l’étude du premier manuscrit en arabe qui en traite. La thèse fait appel à divers témoignages publiés de contemporains, mais aussi à des manuscrits conservés dans des archives publiques et privées. Plusieurs d’entre eux sont utilisés pour la première fois, tel le plus ancien rituel maçonnique en langue arabe, le règlement intérieur de la première loge de Beyrouth ou les statuts inédits de la Société Scientifique Syrienne fondée par les francs-maçons. La recherche conduit ainsi à relever de quelle manière la franc-maçonnerie au cœur de débats, a proposé un modèle de société qui apparaît davantage méta-religieux qu’areligieux ou antireligieux. Cette société est celle où peut vivre désaliéné quiconque aspire au progrès et à la modernité
Freemasonry appears to be in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, an essential part of the cultural development of Bilâd al-Shâm. Its members were involved in the intellectual movement revival "Nahda", which itself has been able to take advantage of the new political era of the Ottoman Empire opened by the Tanzimat. Religious conflicts continued to wave a confessional society. The Freemasons led it in the path of progress, modernity and secularism. In the 1st part of the thesis, we present Freemasonry in its concrete reality in Beirut and Mount Lebanon, through two lodges, Palestine and Le Liban, but also in its spiritual dimension. The integration and the Arabization process is emphasized by Freemasonry through the use of the ritual, and in the role that Freemasons played in the constitution of the Syrian Scientific Society in Beirut. A personality of rare diplomacy and knowledge, Emir Muhammad Arslan, Freemason and reformer, is presented as an example of an Arab intellectual. The 2nd part shows the fruitless dialogue between the Freemasons and the Jesuits in Ottoman Syria. The case of the Wandering Jew is an emblematic episode in the struggle for secularism led by Freemasons. Also we present the 1st manuscript written in Arabic in the Ottoman Empire by a Muslim scholar. The thesis uses various published testimonies of contemporaries, but is also based on manuscripts kept in public and private archives. Some of them, which have never been used so far, such as the oldest Masonic ritual in Arabic, provide a new light on the beginning of Freemasonry in Beirut and on its impact in the history of Ottoman Syria. The research concludes how Freemasonry at the heart of debates, was able to propose a new model of society that seems more meta-religious than non-religious or anti-religious. This is the new society, in which every human being is able to yearn for freedom and aspire to progress and modernity

Full text
Abstract:
President Jimmy Carter once said, “I had a different way of governing.” In attempting to explain what he meant by this, Carter has been variously described as a political amateur, a trustee, a non-political politician, an “active-positive” president, and a forerunner of the 1990s’ New Democrats. It is argued here, however, that mere secular descriptions and categories such as these do not adequately capture the essence of Carter’s brand of politics and his understanding of the presidency. Rejecting Richard Neustadt’s prescriptions for effective presidential leadership, Carter thought political bargaining and compromise were “dirty” and “sinful.” He deemed the ways of Washington as “evil,” and considered many, if not most, career politicians immoral. While he fully supported the institutional separation of church and state, politics for Carter was about “doing right,” telling the truth, and making the United States and the world “a better demonstration of what Christ is.” Like two earlier Democrats, William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson, Carter understood politics as an alternative form of Christian ministry and service. In this regard, Carter was a presidential exception. Carter’s evangelical faith gave his politics meaning, skill, vision, and a framework for communication. Using Fred Greenstein’s categories of presidential leadership, Carter’s faith provided him with “emotional intelligence”, too. However, Carter’s evangelical style provoked many of his contemporaries, including many of his fellow Democrats. To his critics at home and abroad, Carter was often accused of being arrogant, stubborn, naive, and ultimately a political failure. But as evinced by his indispensable role in negotiating peace between Israel and Egypt, his leadership style also provided him some remarkable achievements. The research here is based on a thorough examination of President Carter’s many writings, his public papers, interviews, and opinion pieces. Written accounts from former Carter administration officials and from Israeli and Egyptian participants at Camp David are also used. This project is largely descriptive, qualitative in approach, but quantitative data are used when appropriate and as supplements.

Abstract:
Castration has a long temporal and geographical span. Its origins are unclear, but likely lie in the Ancient Near East around the time of the Secondary Products Revolution and the increase in social complexity of proto-urban societies. Due to the unique social and gender roles created by castrates’ ambiguous sexual state, human castrates were used heavily in strongly hierarchical social structures such as imperial and religious institutions, and were often close to the ruler of an imperial society. This privileged position, though often occupied by slaves, gave castrates enormous power to affect governmental decisions. This often aroused the jealousy and hatred of intact elite males, who were not afforded as open access to the ruler and virulently condemned castrates in historical documents. These attitudes were passed down to the scholars and doctors who began to study castration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, affecting the manner in which castration was studied. Osteometric and anthropometric examinations of castrates were carried out during this period, but the two World Wars and a shift in focus meant that castrate bodies were not studied for nearly eighty years. Recent interest in gender and sexuality in the past has revived interest in castration as a topic, but few studies of castrate remains have occurred. As large numbers of castrates are referenced in historical documents, the lack of castrate skeletons may be due to a lack of recognition of the physical effects of castration on the skeleton. The synthesis and generation of methods for more accurate identification of castrate skeletons was undertaken and the results are presented here to improve the ability to identify castrate skeletons within the archaeological record.

Abstract:
In recent times, the issues surrounding the "67 borders" have become part of the public debate. In recent speeches, President Obama has suggested that Israel should return to pre-1967 borders with "land-swaps" in exchange for some form of peace with the Palestinians living within current Israeli territory. The validity of Obama's suggestion has been questioned by both members of the political left and right and in the opinion of this author, with considerable merit. However, the ultimate judgment on the validity of Obama's suggestion should be based on a study encompassing the decisions, both correct and flawed, of the leaders during the 1967 war. For this, a study of collective misperceptions, decision making, and the eventual consequences such decisions brought is necessary. That is the purpose of this thesis. For a proper analysis of the misperceptions and decision making surrounding the 1967 war, its proper to review the source material. In that light, there is no shortage of material written about the 1967 war; American, Israel, and Arab authors have all contributed to the historical records. However, much of the material is focused on a historical perspective and not on the decision-making process. There are not many exceptions. Therefore, it becomes important to compare the newer analyzed material against the primary source material and discuss the discrepancies. At the end, it will be determined whether the collective governmental decisions based upon misperceptions accelerated, decelerated, or had a neutral effect on the outbreak of the war. Comparing the source material and viewing it through the filter of newly released information will constitute the methodology whenever possible. The results of this study have revealed a mixed bag of results depending on the nation in question. This was to be expected because individual nations are subject to different misperceptions.; Nations falling under the spell of different misperceptions experience different consequences and outcomes than those who do not. Additionally, even if two separate nations are exposed to the same stimulus, their response may be completely different. In terms of the 1967 war, it can be stated that Israeli misperceptions staved off the start of the 1967 War, whereas Soviet and Arab misperceptions served to accelerate it. By contrast American misperceptions seemed to have little if any affect whatsoever. The purpose of thesis is to expose and documents misperceptions and the resulting consequences that arose from them. It is not designed to make judgments about the current political situation. However, it is the sincere hope of this author that when a situation runs parallel to the events of the 1967, some of the same mistakes can be avoided. Exactly what runs parallel, and what is significant in today's world, is left to the reader's own judgment.

Abstract:
Ce travail a pour objet l’image de l’autre dans les textes des voyageurs latins en Cilicie, Syrie-Palestine et Égypte du XIIe au début du XVe siècle. La rencontre directe entre chrétiens d’Occident et chrétiens d’Orient altère en effet progressivement les représentations occidentales antérieures. Les attitudes des auteurs varient selon leur statut et selon les trajectoires propres à chacun. Après une présentation des conditions de production des œuvres, mettant en évidence les thématiques présidant à la rencontre avec les chrétiens d’Orient, cette étude analyse le discours latin sur l’altérité orientale. Ce dernier résulte de la confrontation entre observations et représentations et se construit entre la curiosité pour une réalité nouvelle porteuse d’exotisme, et l’élaboration d’une double rhétorique du rejet et de l’assimilation de chrétiens considérés à la jonction d’enjeux géopolitiques, dans le contexte des croisades, et d’enjeux religieux, dans le double contexte de la politique d’union pontificale et du prolongement de la réforme monastique. L’intégration des Églises orientales à la culture occidentale suppose alors d’articuler unité et diversité au sein même de la chrétienté. L’analyse du rapport des Latins à la Terre sainte, entre « géographie sacrée » et géographie réelle, des discours croisé, missionnaire et pèlerin sur la diversité et de leurs réactions à celle-ci permet enfin de mesurer l’impact de la rencontre avec les chrétiens orientaux, dans leur dissemblance et leur similitude, sur l’idée de chrétienté
This research aims at analysing the representation of otherness in the writings of Latin travellers in Cilicia, Syria Palestine and Egypt from the 12th century to the early 15th century. Close encounters between Western Christians and Eastern Christians gradually changed the previous representations of the former, while the attitudes of the writers depended on their status and the respective career paths. After presenting the conditions in which the works were written and underlining the themes and issues that were tackled during the encounters with Eastern Christians, this research analyses the Latin discourse on Eastern otherness, the construction of which results from the confrontation between observation and representation. Curiosity for a new exotic reality went along with a double-edged rhetoric of rejection and assimilation of Eastern Christians, as the stakes were both geopolitical – in the context of the Crusades – and religious – with the policy of pontifical union and the continuation of the monastic reform. Integrating Eastern churches into Western culture thus meant conciliating unity and diversity with Christianity. Analysing the relationships of Latin people with the Holy Land – between biblical and actual geography – as well as the discourses of crusaders, missionaries and pilgrims on diversity and their various reactions to it allows one to measure the impact of the encounter with Eastern Christians on the idea of Christianity

Abstract:
Les succès et les échecs des politiques publiques sont, en large partie, sont influencés par le contexte politique et institutionnel des économies. Cette thèse analyse la manière dont les résultats socio-économiques des pays de la région MENA sont déterminées par l'environnement institutionnel et politique des différents pays. Trois essais sont proposés. Le premier étudie l'impact des qualifications sur la productivité à l'aide d'une comparaison entre deux pays, la Turquie et la Tunisie. Le second analyse l'impact des subventions sur les performances des firmes. Le troisième étudie l'effet de l'ouverture commerciale sur les importations des biens manufacturés selon que les firmes font partie des secteurs connectés au pouvoir politique ou pas, dans le cas de l'Égypte.L'étude comparative Turquie-Tunisie, montre que les compétences des travailleurs ont bien un impact mesurable sur la productivité de la Turquie, mais pas en Tunisie. En Turquie, l'industrialisation par substitution aux importations a été démantelée relativement tôt, alors qu'en Tunisie la politique postcoloniale a abandonné sa politique d’industrialisation par substitution aux importations relativement tard. En conséquence, le haut niveau des compétences de la main-d’œuvre en Tunisie n'a pas pu contribué à la productivité à la différence de la Turquie. Ensuite, l'étude de l'intervention gouvernementale sous forme de subvention auprès des firmes en Tunisie, montre que, comme attendu, les subventions permettent aux gouvernements d'étendre leur contrôle sur les entreprises privées. Cette politique a produit des effets contrastés sur les entreprises tunisiennes. Elle a favorisé l'emploi dans les petites entreprises, tandis que dans les grands entreprises, c'est le capital qui en a bénéficié. Enfin, le dernier essai concernant l'économie égyptienne montre que la réduction des barrières commerciales a davantage bénéficié aux firmes présentes dans les secteurs dans lesquels on n'observe pas de lien de connexion entre l’État et les entreprises. La réduction de l'évasion fiscalo-douanière favorise les firmes plus compétitives
The political economy is an important determinant of the successes and failures of public policies. This dissertation explores how the political economy has shaped socio-political outcomes. I use a comparative study, a study of a fiscal subsidies, and a case study of liberalization to elaborate this point. In the comparative study on Turkey and Tunisia, I observe that workforce skills have a measurable impact on productivity in Turkey, a country that abandoned import substitution industrialization at a relatively early stage. Whereas the post-colonial institutional setting of the economy and relatively later import substitution industrialization in Tunisia is not amenable to harnessing the skills of the workforce for productivity --- even if levels of education were historically higher than in Turkey. A case study on government intervention in the form of firm subsidies in Tunisia finds that governments can use firm subsidies to extend control over the private sector, while still reporting measurable and observable positive benefits to the economy. Lastly, a case study on liberalization demonstrated in Egypt that reforms to remove administrative and tariff barriers disproportionately helped firms in industries with no known government cronies and reduced tariff evasion. However, government cronies operating in the historically important natural resource sector still reaped benefits from liberalization reforms

Abstract:
The thesis looks at Protestant missions to the Ottoman Empire and the countries which emerged from it through Bosch's "Enlightenment missionary" (2003) and Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" (1996) paradigms. It argues that Muslim resistance to Christianity is rooted in innate Muslim intransigence and in specific historical events in which missionaries played important roles. The work utilizes a simple formula: it contrasts the socio-political and cultural framework missionaries imbibed at home with that of their host environment, outlines the goals and strategies they formulated and implemented, looks at the results, and notes the missiological implications. The formula is applied to four successive periods. We begin with the pre-World War I missionaries of the late Ottoman Empire. We look at their faith in reason, their conviction in the cultural superiority of Anglo-Saxon Protestantism, their attitude towards Islam, their idea of reaching the Muslim majority by reviving the Orthodox churches, and the evolution of their theology and missiology. World War I changed the landscape. The Empire's demise led to a struggle for Turkish and Arab national self-determination leading to the establishment of the Turkish Republic and various Arab entities, notably French and British mandates. Protestant missions almost disappeared in Turkey, while a small number of "veterans" kept the enterprise alive in the Arab world. While the Arabs struggled to liberate themselves from the Mandatory Powers, these veterans analyzed past failures, recognized the importance of reaching Muslims directly and began experimenting with more contextualized approaches. The post-World War II era saw the retreat of colonialism, the creation of Israel, a succession of wars with that country, and the formation of a Palestinian identity. Oil enabled the Arabian Peninsula to emerge as a major economic and political force. The missionary enterprise, on the other hand, virtually collapsed. Unlike their veteran predecessors, the pre-Boomer generation, with a few notable exceptions, was bereft of fresh ideas. During the 1970s the evangelical Baby Boomers launched a new enterprise. They tended not to perceive themselves as heirs of a heritage going back to the 1800s, though the people they "targeted" did. Their successors, the GenXers, products of post-modernism and inheritors of Boomer structures, face a region experiencing both increased political frustration and the re-emergence of Islam as a socio-political power. In closing we look at Church-centered New Testament spirituality as a foundational paradigm for further missions to the region.

Abstract:
Missio Dei is a phrase used to describe the mission of God, as revealed in Scripture. One of the key verses to understanding the ultimate goal of God’s mission is the vision of heaven given to the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation, “After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb…” (Rev 7:9). God’s mission is to have for Himself a special redeemed people from every ‘People Group’ on earth. In Trinitarian Missio Dei, God is a ‘sending’ God, who sent Himself in pursuit of lost mankind; who sent His Son, Jesus to bear the sins of a lost world upon His body on the Cross; and who sent the Holy Spirit to instruct and empower the Church, which is commissioned and sent forth to carry on His mission of having a people from among all ‘Peoples’ of the earth. The shift in the center of gravity of world Christianity from the Global North to the Global South can be seen as God’s divine orchestration in raising up a mighty army, who will take the Gospel to the remaining unreached, unengaged ‘Peoples’. The Chinese house church networks have sensed God’s calling to take the Gospel ‘back to Jerusalem’ crossing the Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim worlds, along the ancient eastern Silk Routes. As part of this Global South migration, Chinese are already living in over 140 countries around the world, where many of these unreached ‘People Groups’ are located. We see the Nestorian ‘merchant missionaries’ as a model for Chinese migrants to fulfill God’s calling to complete the ‘Great Commission’ mandate.

Abstract:
This contribution brings a tentative overview of the many images of Asia in the Latin literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, where it constituted a parallel circuit of knowledge alongside works in the vernacular. Here especially the Jesuits would, during ca. 2 centuries, unfold their manifold activities, also in many scientific fields, and observed and studied in depth fundamental aspects of Chinese culture, on which they produced many reports, monographs etc., always in manuscript form, mostly in Latin, in view of a European public, both Jesuit and scholarly. Another voluminous part of their Latin writings consisted of contemporary history (geography, cartography etc.) of China, constituting the framework in which their missions had to work.

Abstract:
Abstract In Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) mission that committed to empower employees with the needed capabilities and fuel innovation, efficiency and more importantly achieve and sustain a 100% Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), by transforming the way of handling HSE events by moving from reactive to proactive approach. Drilling operations represent a challenging environment due to human factors that prone focusing on operations mainly instead of safety of Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE). Surveillance cameras are installed in various locations in rig floor and contribute to security and safety. However, the current methods of video analytic in floor rigs are weak in the long-term sequence of nodes with missing and abnormal error value such nighttime, low illumination which causes poor images. In a proof-of-concept exercise, PDO has been provided the AI Solution to overcome all above limitation to develop AI Models based on drilling operation on rig floor. Consequently, this paper presents machine learning pipeline that is validated and evaluated the vendors Video AI detection of HSE violations of PPE and restricted zone access on the rig floor that shared video dataset. The pipeline can be described in two parts. Due to the complexity of the use case that usually difficult to be managed in-house, we propose a method to bring different algorithms solutions from different vendors where the evaluation is managed in-house. In this, we present a framework for video analytic evaluating safety operation drilling in floor rigs. This framework contains the data of video source that collected, annotations guidelines to support necessary data quantities for the best machine learning approaches, performance metrics, and tools that containing scoring baseline models to be able compute amazing performance output regarding annotated ground truth data. The benefit of this study was to address some challenges of video object analytic and tracking beyond evaluation framework that enables a significant comparison of Machine learning models, provides AI vendors with sufficient data for the exploration the automatic modeling approaches, encourages the incorporation evaluation the techniques with process development, and contributes valuable oil and gas drilling that will demonstrate very useful to Computer Vision (CV) research for next years.

Abstract:
Abstract The molecular weight and specific gravity of heptane plus fractions (C7+) are essential in characterizing crude oils. The hydrocarbon analysis of reservoir fluid test usually reports molecular weight and specific gravity of C7+ in the PVT report. Sometimes these values are missing; therefore, estimating them is crucial. This study aims to develop new empirical correlations to estimate the missing molecular weight and specific gravity of the C7+. The experimentally measured hydrocarbon analysis of reservoir fluid tests from the Middle East crudes is the basis for developing the correlations. The input parameters for the correlations are available molecular weight, the specific gravity of C7+, and stock tank oil-specific gravity. The newly developed correlations outperform the existing correlations based on high correlation coefficients and low values of average absolute percent relative error and standard deviation.

Abstract:
Abstract Normally Unattended Facilities have a significant cost reduction potential. They represent substantial technical challenges both for their design and for their operability. In our vision, operability is based on a new concept of operations with the presence of resident robots on site. However, this technology is emerging for Oil & Gas applications. This paper presents a methodology applied at TotalEnergies to qualify these solutions and accelerate their deployment on site. Preparing to deploy a completely new technology in a context of a traditional industry and where all the technological bricks are not yet mature or even not yet well identified is far from obvious. Moreover, waiting for everything to be ready and tested before considering using the technology could take a while and delay the anticipated benefits. In order to be ready to deploy this new operating mode as soon as possible, TotalEnergies has embarked on a progressive qualification program with a succession of on-site pilots of increasing complexity and more and more integrated into the field operations organization. This progressive approach with the definition of predefined areas of progress has allowed a sequence of successive pilots taking into account, little by little, all the components of the robotic ecosystem that goes well beyond the simple robot. The paper will present through the history of our previous pilots in North Sea, Europe and Middle East, the preparation of our last pilot on an FPSO in Africa with all the technological bricks developed for a complete integration and adoption of this new operating philosophy in our operations in order to ensure scalability to any type of site. Among these bricks, the emphasis will be placed on the field operation operator experience from the definition of missions with the customization of the existing maintenance engineering tools, to the management of a fleet of autonomous robots, the analysis of data and the necessary evolution of the field operations methods. The paper proposes an evaluation scale to progress in the adoption of an on-site robotic solution and presents the main characteristics and first feedbacks of the latest and most complex robotic pilot of TotalEnergies.

Abstract:
Abstract The use of multilateral well designs and architectures have progressed significantly since the introduction nearly three decades ago. It has become the de-facto approach for unlocking incremental production performance and increasing drainage density in sands and limestone reservoirs. The tri-lateral well featured in this paper is a TAML Level-2 design with each 6000 ft lateral geosteered and completed by running open-hole packers equipped with ball-activated frac-ports and sleeves on a non-cemented liner hanger system in the motherbore and drop-off systems in laterals-1 and 2. The pre-drill exercise encompassed technical considerations to determine from ---- reservoir type to well architecture, MSF technology, modelling for fracture stimulation effectiveness and well construction techniques --- to ensure success. Beyond established reservoir development strategies such as Maximum Reservoir Contact (MRC), the robustness and effectiveness of directed stimulation fluid to achieve frac stage deep acid stimulation at design pressures requires open-hole stage isolation technologies and devices that enable confirmation of completion of treatment operation. Additionally, working from bottoms-up, junction construction, debris management, securing well integrity during whipstock installation, window milling and whipstock retrieval are operational phases that pose significant challenge and risk to loss of well. The collaboration between Multilateral equipment design and engineering companies and Operators focus on simplifying junction construction, High frac pressure Open-hole packers as well as affirmative frac port open and close surface indicators. Innovative engineering solutions has produced advanced open-hole isolation and completion hardware and material science developments are offering path clean-up and unobstructed reservoir fluid flow after stage stimulation. The integration of the latest multilateral construction technologies and techniques for ensuring mission-critical objectives leverages a multidiscipline collaboration approach to ensure well delivery and reservoir performance. Critical success factors discussed in this paper are, 1. Tri-lateral wellbore construction and recovery of junction construction devices, 2. Running and setting lower completion string, 3. Operating stage isolation devices and effective stimulation of each stage guided by advanced frac-stimulation modelling analysis and 4. Unrestricted reservoir flow through lower completion flow control devices.

Abstract:
In recent years, many companies have deployed AI-based monitoring systems to detect unsafe act and conditions on industrial setups in real time. Although such technology has proven its capability, the industry hasn't shown a rush toward its usage as what we experienced on (e.g., ChatGPT). This fact shows that using AI integration into closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras alone is not enough to maximize such technologies in industrial setups and processes despite their huge development. An offshore drilling rig has an extremely harsh working environment, which involves people of a wide variety of professions and cultures. Therefore, any solutions that aim to mitigate risks there must engage all sectors and stockholders, be based on existing culture and comply with current procedures on rigs. This is neither an easy nor an impossible mission. A key objective of this practice was to build an AI-based platform that would not only benefit end users in various levels and prove the technology capability, but also deliver values. Therefore, to create the most efficient AI-based platform for everyone, cutting-edge noise reduction technology, risk assessments, and technology capabilities were aligned with existing safety procedures, reporting systems, and management cultures.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Casing Running Tool (CRT) combines many functions of other tools, such as circulation heads, casing and tubing rotation, and connection makeup. The technology's initial design was for drilling with casing. However, it is currently used widely in running and makeup operations of conventional casing and tubulars. This paper aims to identify gaps and opportunities in the current service to reach the full potential of the benefit of the technology as a running and makeup tool; and ultimately achieve automation for makeup operations. The paper reviews the current CRT types used to analyze pre-operations and during-operation features. Each step of the makeup operations was evaluated and compared to the conventional power tong. The comparison finding summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of CRT versus the power tong. In addition, the paper relates the CRT shortcomings to the mindset of the original designers of the system. The new usage context brought great value but did not fully address the additional requirements to deliver quality makeup operations. CRT improved HSE by reducing the number of operators in the rig's red zone. In addition, it helped in deploying the casings in challenging well conditions by pushing the casing to target depth and combining drilling and running runs for less intermedial operations. However, the system lacks in makeup operations. The paper claims that CRT requires slight modifications to overcome shortcomings in inspection, communication to the multiple parts of the system, calibration, and control. Designing CRT focusing on quality makeup will result in innovations that will significantly improve the connection makeup reliability and ultimately prepare the system for full automation.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The utility of advanced mud gas (AMG) data has been limited to fluid typing and petrophysical correlations. There is the need to extend the utility to real-time reservoir characterization prior to wireline logging and geological core description. Our first attempt to predict reservoir rock porosity within a well yielded good result. This study improves on the previous effort by utilizing big data obtained from combining various wells in the study area. We used machine learning (ML) methodology in the absence of established physical relationship between AMG data, comprising light and heavy flare gas components, and reservoir rock porosity. More than 20,000 data points collected from representative wells were used to prove the concept of predicting the porosity in an interval or section of any well within the study area. Optimized models of artificial neural network (ANN), decision trees (DT) and random forest (RF) were applied to the combined dataset. The combined dataset was randomly split into training and validation subsets in 70:30 ratio. The 30% validation subset simulates a missing well interval or section. Comparing the results of the ANN, DT, and RF models using statistical model performance evaluation metrics, the RF model outperformed the others. The RF model gave a training and validation correlation coefficient (R-Squared) values of 0.94 and 0.83 respectively compared to 0.36 and 0.35 for the ANN and 0.84 and 0.73 for the DT models respectively. However, the p-value and mean errors show that the models are statistically acceptable. Having showed in a previous research that a multivariate linear regression model could not handle the complexity in the relationship between porosity and the flare gas components, these results have further confirmed the robustness of nonlinear solutions based on the ML methodology. We conclude that the ML approach to predicting reservoir rock porosity from advanced mud gas data is feasible and better results are achievable with more research. This study has confirmed the feasibility of predicting porosity based on a dataset of combined wells and the huge benefit in extending the utility of AMG data beyond the traditional workflows. This approach is capable of complementing existing reservoir characterization processes in assessing reservoir quality at the early stage of exploration. Future work will investigate the impact of integrating the AMG with surface drilling parameters to possibly increase the prediction accuracy.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The physics of fluid flow and transport processes in hydraulically fractured unconventional reservoirs are not well understood. As a result, the predicted production behavior using conventional simulation often does not agree with the observed field performance data. The discrepancy is caused by potential errors in the simulation model and the physical processes that take place in complex fractured rocks subjected to hydraulic fracturing. Additionally, other field data such as well logs and drilling parameters containing important information about reservoir condition and reservoir characteristics are not conveniently integrated into existing simulation models. In this paper, we discuss the development of a deep learning model to learn the errors in simulation-based performance prediction in unconventional reservoirs. Once trained, the model is expected to forecast the performance response of a well by augmenting physics-based predictions with the learned prediction errors from the deep learning model. To learn the discrepancy between simulated and observed production data, a simulation dataset is generated by using formation, completion, and fluid properties as input to an imperfect physics-based simulation model. The difference between the resulting simulated responses and observed field data, together with collected field data (i.e. well logs, drilling parameters), is then used to train a deep learning model to learn the prediction errors of the imperfect physical model. Deep convolutional autoencoder architectures are used to map the simulated and observed production responses into a low-dimensional manifold, where a regression model is trained to learn the mapping between collected field data and the simulated data in the latent space. The proposed method leverages deep learning models to account for prediction errors originating from potentially missing physical phenomena, simulation inputs, and reservoir description. We illustrate our approach using a case study from the Bakken Play in North Dakota.

Abstract:
Despite evidence of their positive impacts, United Nations peacekeeping operations continue to face budget cuts, cynicism in the political arena and concern over personnel physical safety. This context underpins the global and regional trends in multilateral peace operations in 2019. This SIPRI Fact Sheet gives a snapshot of multilateral peace operations in 2019, with statistics on personnel, country contributions and fatalities for operations conducted by the UN, regional organizations or alliances, and ad hoc coalitions of states. Global and regional trends in 2019 follow developments from recent years, including the downward trends associated with the reductions and closures of many UN peace operations since 2015. Sub-Saharan Africa continues to host the majority of operations and personnel, although these numbers have decreased, while the Middle East and North Africa is drawing attention for increasing numbers of operations and personnel. Hostile death rates for 2019 are largely attributed to the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, the deadliest operation since its establishment in 2013, with all other operations demonstrating relatively low numbers of fatalities.
