Abstract:
New way to produce greater amounts of distillate motor fuels from crude petroleums, petroleum residues and natural bitumens by an ozonization of raw material followed with thermal treatment of the product formed under the conditions similar to ones characteristic of common petroleum atmospheric rectification process is proposed. About half of heavy petroleum components boiling above 350°C can be converted<br />into light hydrocarbons constituting the gasoline and diesel fractions and total yield of the lasts can be accordingly increased by means of described new method of oil processing. Ultimate products contain up<br />to 16 wt.% olefins and lesser amounts of sulfur compounds and have noticeably improved principal operational properties in comparison with analogues straight-run motor petroleum distillates.

Abstract:
This article interrogates the constitutional relevance of African social ordering rules in petroleum governance in Sub-Saharan African petroleum producing states. At the apex of the hierarchized African legal system is the national constitution which contains the basic norm or grundnorm derived from Western received law. Yet some African scholars have described African social ordering norms as grundnorms. This goes contrary to the conventional positivist position that “a legal system cannot be founded on two conflicting grundnorms.” This article will consider whether African social ordering norms have attained the level of a grundnorm as expounded in Kelsen’s pure theory. Utilising the Ekeh’s “two publics” model, it investigates how the basic norm for African social ordering grundnorms is presupposed.The article considers whether there is a conflict between the domanial system of state ownership as approved by African national constitutions and indigenous African social ordering norms premised on communitarianism. The article presents for analysis the recent study undertaken by African Petroleum Producers Association (APPA). This study considers whether it is possible to standardise the rules of petroleum contractual governance in Africa. This has led to some discussion on whether the standardisation of these rules could lead to the development of an African Lex Petrolea. This article explores the role that African social ordering norms can play in the development of a continent-wide Lex Petrolea.

Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a further development of refining technology, which make it possible to better use of crude oil, which also has a major impact on the quality of bitumen. Most European refineries, of course, are processing, for reasons of the resale of petroleum products, especially petroleums suitable for the recovery of light and middle fractions. Therefore, light petroleums are required, with low yields of heavy fractions, which are highly economically and in dispositions efficient for processors on the petroleum market. Emphasis is placed on the sulfur content, the paraffin content is no longer the most important aspect. Less important from the perspective of the refinery is the content and the ratio of asphaltenes and maltenes. There is no doubt that we will have to change our view on petroleum products. Their availability will continue to decline, their price, on the other hand, is likely to grow in relation to falling supplies of resources. Therefore, the view of the bitumen must be changed. The most common way of production of PG bitumen is vacuum distillation, which is carried out in such a way that the vacuum distillation residue satisfies it´s properties bitumen requirements for the relevant penetration.

Abstract:
Actinic keratoses (AK) are precancerous lesions that develop on chronically sun-exposed skin. They frequently require prophylactic field treatment due to the risk of progression to squamous cell carcinoma. Topical treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) yields near complete AK resolution, yet leaves a patient with an exuberant erythematous treatment site, which may be embarrassing and/or uncomfortable. We report a case of a patient with diffuse facial AK who was treated with 5-FU twice daily for 2 weeks, resulting in fiery-red erythema and disrupted barrier indices. Application of pure ultra white petroleum jelly, an emollient preferred by dermatologists for post-operative wound healing, resulted in drastic decreased erythema and recovery time of post-treatment transepidermal water loss and hydration, compared to the contralateral, non-petrolatum-treated side. Additionally, petrolatum use did not disrupt the AK resolution endpoint. We suggest that petroleum jelly be used for the repair of 5-FU-induced barrier disruption and erythema to promote greater patient adherence.

Abstract:
Specific properties of ozonolysis products of high-molecular heteroatomic compounds (resins and asphaltenes) from crude petroleums and natural bitumens are described. It is shown that polyfunctional carboxylic acids or their salts obtaining by alkaline hydrolysis of ozonization products of heavy petroleum<br />stocks permits to produce manifold useful novelties such as high-effective demulsifiers for petroleum dehydration process instead of expensive synthetic demulsifying reagents; water-soluble organic astringents suitable for chemical land-reclamation or to prepare moulding mixtures at the foundries; oily or emulsion<br />lubricating coolants for metal-working tools; stimulators of soil microorganisms activity and plant growth. The new chemical products of petroleum origin are not inferior to the best synthetic reagents for the same destinations but differ from the lasts advantageously on account of the simplicity of their production technology and low cost. The optimal expenses and other principal technological parameters were established both for raw material ozonization, following alkaline treatment and final product isolation stages of the production process for each new reagent described. By means of numerous laboratory experiments and field tests performed with seeds, bulbs and grafts of different agricultural plants and with ozonolysis products produced from the resinous components of different crude petroleums it was proved that high biological activity is characteristic only of the substances obtained from high-molecular compounds from low-sulfur naphthenic crude petroleums and natural bitumens occurring, as a rule, at small burial depths. These ozonolysis products are very effective stimulants for the different plants growth, suitable for a treatment of different forms of planting materials and providing significant acceleration of early growth stages, the reduction of vegetation and ripening periods, and the increase of total productivity of agricultural plants.

Abstract:
The petroleum coke (refered to as PC) with the addition of FeSO4 was obtained by impregnation method, and the reactivity of PC with CO2 are analysed by TG.PC samples were heated from room temperature to 1300 °C with heating rate of 20 °C / min at the atmosphere of CO2 (40 ml/min) and N2 (60 ml/min).At the same time, FTIR spectral of the gasflowing was obtained every 30 seconds. The results show that the TG curve of raw petroleum coke begin to decline, and the CO peak in its 3D infrared spectrogram plot has appeared at the temperature of 1100°C, which proved that the raw petroluem coke (refered to as RPC) has reacted with CO2 at 1100°C. And as the FeSO4 added amount increased,the gasification beginning temperature and initial release time of CO are all in advance,which prove that FeSO4 can enhance the reactivity of PC carbon dioxide gasification.

Abstract:
Hydrothermal activity and seabed mounds have been explored in Guaymas Basin by the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), piston coring, dredging, and diving with the Deep Submersible Research Vessel (DSRV) Alvin. Sedimentary organic matter, derived primarily from immature, degraded microbial detritus, is easily converted to petroleum under the hydrothermal regime. These petroleums are mature and migrate in the fluids and by diffusion to the seabed. The fluid migration is aided by near-critical aqueous solution and supercritical carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. Petroleum compositions vary from condensates to naphthenic to waxy, all with significant amounts of asphaltenes and hydrothermal products such as olefins and toxic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The heavy ends condense at the seabed, depositing mainly as a cement with the sulfides and other minerals and to a lesser extent as entrapped oil and crystalline wax in vugs and conduits of the mounds. The PAH are high-temperature resynthesis-aromatization products from residual organic matter, and they are present in all oils but also deposit as discrete trace fractions in the hottest regions of the vent systems. Preliminary estimates of total hydrocarbon generation during hydrothermal alteration indicate that this process has a significant petroleum potential.

Resumo: Apresenta-se nesta dissertação um estudo sobre o comportamento transitório da pressão em poços inclinados submetidos a teste de poço. A partir de referências disponíveis na literatura, são apresentadas soluções analíticas e semi-analíticas, onde é adotado o modelo de escoamento uniforme como condição de contorno no poço. Neste estudo é considerado um reservatório de extensão radial infinita com limites verticais impermeáveis. A partir da solução analítica são apresentadas curvas típicas para diferentes ângulos de inclinação do poço e espessura adimensional da formação. As análises das curvas típicas indicam três regimes de escoamento: radial inicial, radial de transição e radial infinito, onde, no melhor conhecimento deste autor, o regime de escoamento radial de transição é introduzido nesta dissertação. A partir da solução semi-analítica, derivada no domínio de Laplace, são desenvolvidas assíntotas para tempo-curto e tempo-longo. Esta dissertação ainda apresenta um procedimento alternativo para interpretar os dados transitórios da pressão em poços inclinados. O desenvolvimento deste procedimento foi baseado na técnica TDS (Tiab's Direct Synthesis), onde é possível interpretar os dados de pressão através de uma análise direta da curva de derivada. As soluções aqui apresentadas fornecem uma alternativa acessível à completa modelagem numérica - utilizada em pacotes comerciais para interpretação de teste de pressão
Abstract: A study on the transient pressure behavior it is presented in this dissertation for slanted well test analysis. From references available in the literature, analytical and semi-analytical solutions are presented for the uniform flow boundary condition at the well. In this study is considered an infinite radial extent reservoir limited with vertical impermeable boundaries. Type curves are presented for different slant angles of the well and dimensionless formation thickness. From the analysis of type curves are observed three flow regimes: early time radial flow, transition radial flow and late time infinite-acting radial flow. For the best knowledge of the author, the transition radial flow regime is introduced in this dissertation for the first time. From the semi-analytical solution, derived in the Laplace domain, asymptotic solutions are developed for early-time and late-time. It is also presented an alternative procedure for interpreting pressure transient data in slanted wells. The development of this procedure was based on the TDS (Tiab's Direct Synthesis) technique, by where it is possible to interpret the pressure data through a direct analysis of the derived curve. The solutions presented here provide a feasible alternative to full numerical modeling - used in commercial packages for the interpretation of pressure tests

Resumo: Os problemas na perfuração de poços de petróleo são responsáveis pela maior parte dos tempos não produtivos, elevando assim os custos diários das operações. Portanto, o estudo e o entendimento destes problemas contribuirá para a otimização da perfuração, melhorando assim as práticas ou mitigando os efeitos severos das anormalidades. O presente trabalho apresenta três procedimentos para identificação das causas dos problemas que poderão auxiliar o jovem profissional a caracterizar os mais variados problemas que ocorrem durante a perfuração de um poço. Neste escopo são abordadas apenas as ocorrências pré-classificadas como dificuldade de manobra, dificuldade de avanço, e prisão. O estudo usa dados dos boletins diários de perfuração dos poços, dados de mudlogging, dados obtidos por ferramentas de monitoramento contínuo da perfuração e outros dados como o fluido utilizado, a configuração da composição de fundo, o desgaste de broca, o gráfico do caliper, litologia e trajetória do poço. A caracterização dos problemas é feita mediante a identificação e associação de eventos que levam a formular hipóteses das prováveis causas dos problemas. Dois grupos de pesquisa (Unicamp e Genesis do Brasil) em engenharia de poço implementaram separadamente os procedimentos propostos. Os resultados foram coincidentes para a maioria trechos de poços marítimos de desenvolvimento analisados, o que atesta a eficácia dos procedimentos diagnósticos. Este estudo é importante para indústria, pois pode maximizar a eficiência na perfuração, através da minimização e/ou eliminação dos tempos não produtivos, responsáveis por avultadas perdas econômicas, além de permitir tornar mais robustas as ferramentas de acompanhamento, em tempo real, das operações de perfuração, na tomada de decisões e na melhoria do processo de planejamento de poço
Abstract: Drilling problems are accountable for the majority of the non productive times in the industry raising the daily operations costs. Therefore, the study and understanding of the problems will contribute to the drilling optimization, improving the practices or by mitigating their severe effects. The present work presents three procedures for identification of causes of drilling problems which can help the young professionals to characterize a wide range of problems that occur while drilling an oil well. In this scope they are studied only the problems pre-classified by occurrence as: problems in tripping, problem in drilling ahead and stuck pipe. The study uses data from the daily drilling reports, mudlogging data, on time monitoring tools data and mud data, Bottom Hole Assembly composition, bit wear report, caliper data, litology and well trajectory. The characterization of the problems is made by identification and association of the events that lead to formulate the hypotheses of the probable causes of the problems. Two research groups (Unicamp and Genesis do Brasil) in well engineering implemented separately the three proposed procedures. The results were coincident for the majority of the analyzed intervals of offshore development wells, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed procedures. This work is important to the industry since it leads to the drilling efficiency maximization by minimization and/or elimination non productive times that are the main responsible for economic losses, beside the fact that these findings can be used to boost the capacity of the monitoring and logging tools as well as to support the on time decision making and to improve well planning process

Resumo: Estudos realizados em reservatórios de petróleo têm evidenciado que parte da microbiota associada a este tipo de ambiente é representada por bactérias e arqueias de distribuição geográfica bastante ampla e que diversos destes organismos têm potencial para transformar compostos orgânicos e inorgânicos, atuando na interface óleo-água dos reservatórios. A investigação de micro-organismos com potencial para biodeterioração, biodegradação e biocorrosão encontrados em depósitos petrolíferos é de grande importância, uma vez que estes organismos podem estar relacionados com a perda da qualidade do petróleo nos reservatórios e etapas subseqüentes de exploração. Este estudo teve como finalidade comparar a microbiota presente em amostras de óleo de dois poços de petróleo terrestres da Bacia Potiguar (RN), identificados como GMR75 (poço biodegradado) e PTS1 (poço não-biodegradado). As comunidades microbianas foram estudadas usando técnicas de cultivo (enriquecimentos microbianos e isolamento) e independentes de cultivo (construção de bibliotecas de genes RNAr 16S). Os micro-organismos cultivados de ambos os poços mostraram-se afiliados aos filos Actinobacteria, Firmicutes e Proteobacteria. As bibliotecas de gene RNAr 16S foram construídas a partir de DNA total extraído do petróleo bruto. Ambas as bibliotecas de bactérias revelaram uma grande diversidade, com 8 filos diferentes para o poço GMR75, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Deferribacteres, Spirochaetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Thermotoga e Synergistetes, e 5 filos para o poço PTS1, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria e Thermotogae. A biblioteca de genes RNAr 16S de arqueias só foi obtida para o poço GMR75 e todos os clones encontrados mostraram-se relacionados a membros da ordem Methanobacteriales. Os resultados de diversidade sugerem que a metanogênese é o processo terminal dominante no poço, o que indica uma biodegradação anaeróbia. A comparação dos estudos dependente e independente de cultivo mostrou que alguns gêneros, como Janibacter, Georgenia, Saccharopolyspora, Tessaracoccus, Brevundimonas e Brachymonas não foram encontradas na abordagem independente de cultivo, sugerindo que mais clones devam ser seqüenciados para cobrir toda a diversidade presente na amostra. Nossa hipótese de que poderia haver algum agente antimicrobiano inibindo o crescimento de bactérias degradadoras de hidrocarbonetos no poço não-biodegradado não foi confirmada. No entanto, durante os testes realizados, uma bactéria, Bacillus pumilus, isolada em estudos anteriores de reservatórios da Bacia de Campos, apresentou resultados positivos de inibição para todas as linhagens testadas como indicadoras, e os testes de caracterização do composto revelaram ser este um diterpeno da classe das Ciatinas.
Abstract: Recent studies from oil fields have shown that microbial diversity is represented by bacteria and archaea of wide distribution, and that many of these organisms have potential to metabolize organic and inorganic compounds. The potential of biodeterioration, biodegradation and biocorrosion by microorganisms in oil industry is of great relevance, since these organisms may be related with the loss of petroleum quality and further exploration steps. The aim of the present study was to compare the microbial communities present in two samples from terrestrial oil fields from Potiguar basin (RN - Brazil), identified as GMR75 (biodegraded oil) and PTS1 (non-biodegraded oil). Microbial communities were investigated using cultivation (microbial enrichments and isolation) and molecular approaches (16S rRNA gene clone libraries). The cultivated microorganisms recovered from both oil-fields were affiliated with the phyla Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene clone libraries were constructed from metagenomic DNA obtained from crudeoil. Both bacterial libraries revealed a great diversity, encompassing representatives of 8 different phyla for GMR75, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Deferribacteres, Spirochaetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Thermotogae and Synergistetes, and of 5 different phyla, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Thermotoga, for PTS1. The archaeal 16S rRNA clone library was obtained only for GMR75 oil and all phylotypes were affiliated with order Methanobacteriales. Diversity resuts suggest that methanogenesis is the dominant terminal process in GMR75 reservoir, driven by anaerobic biodegradation. The cross-evaluation of culture-dependent and independent techniques indicates that some bacterial genera, such as Janibacter, Georgenia, Saccharopolyspora, Tessaracoccus, Brevundimonas and Brachymonas, were not found using the the 16S rRNA clone library approach, suggesting that additional clones should be sequenced in order to cover diversity present in the sample. Our hypothesis that biodegrading bacterial populations could be inhibited by antimicrobialproducing microorganisms in the non biodegraded oil field (PTS1) was not confirmed. However, one Bacillus pumilus strain, previously isolated from Campos Basin reservoirs, showed positive results in inhibitory tests for all indicator strains. Chemical analyses allowed us to identify the compound as a diterpen from the Cyathin class.

Abstract:
The biodegradation of sites co-contaminated by organic pollutants and Heavy Metals is often a challenge due to the inhibition of microbial activities. Microbes play important role in the mineralization of petroleum hydrocarbons to CO2 by utilizing petroleum hydrocarbons as a carbon/ energy source. Heavy metals are often constituents of petroleum. Petroleum spills may result to the release associated metals (e.g. Ni, Cd, Pb, As) into the environment. Subsequent spills may cause an increase in metal concentrations in soils that may build to concentrations above intervention values. This may result to the inhibition of important biological activities such as the biodegradation of organic contaminants. This research investigates the effects of Ni, Cd and Pb contamination on biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in complex soil system using a microbiological approach combined with geochemical approach. Such an approach will provide a more detailed understanding of the patterns of oil degradation under different and increasing metal stresses and how microbial communities change in such environments. Results indicated that Ni has stimulatory or no effects on biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in soils depending on the chemical form of added Ni. The stimulatory effect was observed in Ni-Porphyrin contaminated soils and declined with increasing Ni concentration. In NiO soils, no effects occurred at low concentrations and increased concentration of Ni resulted to increased inhibition of biodegradation. This is unlike NiCl2 amended soils where Ni effects on biodegradation were neutral irrespective of Ni concentration. The microbial diversity study of the microbial soil community indicated that there was a selective enrichment of species in the soil communities. Phylogenetic study indicated that the dominant microorganism in the community is a strain of Rhodococcus (100%), which was closely related to most Rhodococcus strains isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated environments, metal contaminated environments and extreme environments. Results indicated that Cd inhibited biodegradation of crude oil in soils, irrespective of Cd form or concentrations. The inhibitory effect increased with increasing concentrations. Also, the microbial diversity study of the microbial soil community indicated that there was a selective enrichment of species in the soil communities. Similar to Ni, Phylogenetic study indicated that the dominant microorganism in the community is a strain of Rhodococcus. Also biodegradation of petroleum was significantly reduced in crude oil degrading short-term Pb contaminated soils, irrespective of Pb form or concentration. However, in long-term Pb contaminated soils, while maximal rate of petroleum degradation reduced at high- Pb concentration, no effect was observed at low lead concentration. Also, the microbial diversity study of the microbial soil community indicated that there was a selective enrichment of species in the soil communities. Two dominating specie were identified in Pb-soils depending on soil. Both are closely related to a strain belonging to Bacillales that were originally isolated Rock, Scopulibacillus darangshiensis strain (98%) and oil contaminated soil Bacillus circulans (99%). While the former dominated in Pb -short-term contaminated soils as well as Pb-long term contaminated soil at high concentration, the later dominated long-term-Pb contaminated soil at low concentration.

Abstract:
This is the first academic study of well costs and drilling times for Australia???s petroleum producing basins, both onshore and offshore. I analyse a substantial database of well times and costs sourced from government databases, industry and over 400 recent well completion reports. Three well phases are studied - Pre-Spud, Drilling and Completion. Relationships between well cost factors are considered, including phase time, phase cost, daily cost, rig day rate, well depth, basin, rig type, water depth, well direction, well objective (e.g. exploration), and type of completion (P&A or producer). Times and costs are analysed using scatter plots, frequency distributions, correlation and regression analyses. Drilling times are analysed for the period 1980 to 2004. Well time and variability in well time tend to increase exponentially with well depth. Technical Limits are defined for both onshore and offshore drilling times to indicate best performance. Well costs are analysed for the period 1996 to 2004. Well costs were relatively stable for this period. Long term increases in daily costs were offset to some extent by reductions in drilling times. Onshore regions studied include the Cooper/Eromanga, Surat/Bowen, Otway and Perth Basins. Offshore regions studied include the Carnarvon Basin shallow and deepwater, the Timor Sea and Victorian Basins. Correlations between regional well cost and well depth are usually high. Well costs are estimated based on well location, well depth, daily costs and type of completion. In 2003, the cost of exploration wells in Australia ranged from A$100,000 for shallow coal seam gas wells in the Surat/Bowen Basins to over A$50 million for the deepwater well Gnarlyknots-1 in the Great Australian Bight. Future well costs are expected to be substantially higher for some regions. This study proposes methods to index historical daily costs to future rig day rates as a means for estimating future well costs. Regional well cost models are particularly useful for the economic evaluation of CO2 storage sites which will require substantial numbers of petroleum-type wells.

I am designing a Case Study House to be sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell which utilizes the by-product of oil extraction, petroleum gas, to produce a zero waste, 100% petroleum based house. The motivation of the Case Study House is to address the housing shortage in Iraq, and demonstrate the capacity of petrochemicals as a building material. In the Western hemisphere an abundance of trees provides wood, an easy to work with construction material. In contrast, Iraq currently lacks a pervasive natural resource for construction. However, Iraq does boast one of the largest reserves of oil in the world. During the oil production process natural gas is trapped underground with the petroleum. Because of the pressure change during extraction, natural gas will surface with the crude oil. This type of natural gas is known as associated petroleum gas; it is released as a byproduct or waste product of petroleum extraction. With the right facilities in place these associated gases can be harnessed for energy, and become a feedstock for petrochemical industries. I am interested in using Basra, Iraq's second most populous city, as a case study for improving the housing need in Iraq. There are several key reasons why Basra will serve as both a strategic and necessary site to develop this idea. Basra's crucial location on the southern tip of Iraq, and at the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, has made it Iraq's main port and a gateway into the country. This access to various kinds of transportation through primary ports, as well as rail lines to Baghdad, coupled with a rapidly growing economy stemming from, oil and downstream petroleum based industries, makes Basra an opportune location for a housing intervention. In conclusion, Iraq has the capacity to produce vast amounts of building material domestically from petroleum gas, a by-product of oil, its primary export. With plastics beginning to emerge as viable building materials in the construction industry, Iraq could likely be on the forefront of making the use of plastics as building materials mainstream.

Resumo: O presente trabalho foi direcionado para a caracterização e modelagem geológica do reservatório turbidítico do Campo de Namorado. Visto que os depósitos de hidrocarbonetos formaram-se a partir de processos sedimentares e tectônicos complexos que atuaram durante milhões de anos nas bacias e que as informações obtidas destes depósitos são bastante restritas, tornou-se consensual a idéia de que a integração de metodologias e ferramentas possibilita a melhor compreensão dos reservatórios e de suas heterogeneidades. Neste trabalho optou-se por integrar os dados oriundos da geofísica de perfis de poços e dos testemunhos, através dos métodos geoestatísticos de modelagem estocástica com o intuito de gerar modelos equiprováveis do Campo de Namorado que auxiliarão no entendimento da distribuição das principais unidades do reservatório que influenciam na estimativa do volume de óleo. A análise faciológica teve como enfoque os métodos qualitativo, apoiado na descrição das 29 litofácies descritas nos testemunhos, e quantitativo, baseado nas análises dos perfis geofísicos de 54 poços. Com base nesta correlação rocha-perfil, as fácies arenito, arenito argiloso, carbonato e folhelho foram definidos como sendo os prováveis litotipos presentes no reservatório. Para a modelagem geológica e estrutural do Campo de Namorado todos os dados disponíveis foram tratados com o auxílio de um software de modelagem de reservatórios. As etapas de trabalho foram: delimitação de topo e base dos 54 poços do reservatório; interpretação dos três ciclos deposicionais; identificação das falhas; e, por fim, geração de um grid 3D que servirá como base para a realização das modelagens estocásticas subseqüentes. Com a aplicação do método estocástico de simulação seqüencial de indicatriz, foi definida a distribuição espacial das fácies. As propriedades de porosidade efetiva e saturação de água, relacionadas a cada litotipo, foram modeladas a partir da técnica de simulação gaussiana seqüencial. A definição destes parâmetros possibilitou a obtenção do volume de óleo in situ do Campo de Namorado. Como resultados finais foram obtidos vários modelos equiprováveis que representam toda a estrutura do reservatório e possibilitam a quantificação da incerteza associada à estimativa do volume de óleo
Abstract: This work focused the geologic characterization and modeling of the Namorado Oil Field. Sedimentary and tectonic complex processes formed the hydrocarbon deposits for millions of years in the basins, but the information obtained from these deposits is very narrow. In this matter, the opportunity to study the integration of methodologies and tools enables a better understanding of the reservoirs and their heterogeneity. This work integrates the data derived from well logs and cores by the geostatistical methods of stochastic modeling to generate equiprobable models of the Namorado Oil Field, which will assist in the understanding of the distribution of the main reservoir units that influence in the oil volume estimation. The faces analysis used the qualitative method, based on the description of 29 lithofacies described in the cores, and the quantitative method, supported by the well log analysis of 54 wells. Based on this correlation between logs and rocks, was defined as probable reservoir litotypes the faces sandstone, shaly sandstone, carbonate and shale. For the geologic and structural modeling of the Namorado Oil Field all the available data were processed with the aid of a reservoir modeling software. The steps of the work were: delimitation of the top and bottom of the 54 reservoir wells; the interpretation of the three depositional cycles; the identification of failures; and, finally, the generation of a 3D grid for the base of the stochastic modeling. The application of the stochastic method of sequential indicator simulation defined the spatial distribution of the faces. In the other hand, the properties of effective porosity and water saturation related to each lithotype were modeled using the technique of sequential Gaussian simulation. The definition of these parameters allowed the oil volume estimation of the Namorado Oil Field. As a final result, several equiprobable models were obtained representing the entire structure of the reservoir and allowing the uncertainty quantification associated with oil volume computation

Abstract:
In Nigeria, almost every business enterprise relies on petroleum products for power or transportation. Shortages of petroleum products cripple business activities and undermine development of the Nigerian economy. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore supply chain management strategies needed by petroleum business leaders to mitigate shortages and sustain business development in Nigeria. The sample for the study included 10 senior leaders from 2 private-sector Nigerian downstream petroleum supply companies located in the Niger Delta region, who had successfully implemented strategies for petroleum supply. The resource based view theory served as the conceptual framework for the study. Data collection included semistructured face-to-face interviews and review of operational and policy documents from the supply companies. Data were transcribed, analyzed, and validated through member checking and triangulation, resulting in the identification of 6 themes: appropriate allocation of resources to all segments of the supply value chain for efficiency, efficient banking and foreign exchange operations, engaging appropriate human capital for operational efficiency, technology application in both operational and nonoperational segments, maintaining good organization reputation in the industry, and investment in Nigerian crude oil refining and infrastructures. Findings may be used by petroleum business leaders and investors to create effective and efficient supply chain management, leading to product availability, employment opportunities, poverty reduction, and economic development.
