ABSTRACT ERD wells are commonly associated with major challenges for installation of casing and liner strings. These wells typically present high torque and drag parameters that jeopardize getting strings to total depth. In an attempt to optimize production, a major oil company in Angola decided to re-enter the study well in early 2016. A sidetrack was opened in the 9 5/8-in. casing, and drilling continued in the 8 ½-in. hole and penetrated the target zone in the highest location. Then a 7-in. production liner was run. To reach the target zone, 5,583 ft of 8 ½-in. hole was drilled and deviations varied from 45° to 87°. This trajectory was a challenge for subsequent running of 7-in. liner. Torque and drag (T&D) models showed liner rotation at total depth (TD) was not possible, and a surge model indicated likelihood of mud losses while running the liner. Liner hanger technologies became a very important phase of well construction, and service companies developed advanced liner hangers to overcome hostile well environments. In this case study, the short time available from the planning to execution phases and the current oil market conditions made it imperative that the right equipment, service, and technology were available in country. To achieve the ideal working parameters and get the liner to bottom, a thorough assessment needed to be performed to ensure risk mitigation. This paper presents summarizes steps considered during planning for the 7-in. liner run including a detailed engineering analysis that enabled the operator to make the best decisions based on the available resources. The paper will also discuss lessons learned and best practices captured during the job that will be used for subsequent liners in similar wells.

This study analyzes the severity of Internal Control over Financial Reporting deficiencies (Deficiencies, Significant Deficiencies and Material Weaknesses) in a sample of Italian listed companies, in the period 2007- 2012. Using proprietary data the severity of the deficiencies is tested for account-specific, entity level and information technology controls and for industries (manufacturing and services vs finance industries). The results on ICD severity is compared with one of the most frequent ICD (Acc_Period End/Accounting Policies): for account-specific, ICD in revenues, purchase, fixed assets and intangible, loans and insurance are more severe while ICD in Inventory are less severe. Differences in ICD severity have been found in the characteristic account: ICD in loan and insurance for finance industry and ICD in revenue, purchase for manufacturing and service industry are more severe. Finally, we found that ICD in entity level and information technology controls are less severe than account specific ICD in all industries. However, the results on entity level and information technology deficiencies could also mean that the importance of these types of control are under-evaluated by the manufacturing and service companies.

The landscape of paid domestic work has changed considerably in recent years with the growth in the number of housecleaning service companies in South Africa and elsewhere. Housecleaning service companies transform domestic work into a service economy where trained domestic workers render a professional cleaning service to clients. In South Africa, little is known about the factors that employers at housecleaning service companies take into consideration during the selection and recruitment process. A key feature of paid domestic work is the gender, class and race constructions of domestic workers, the vast majority of whom are women, usually women of colour, from low socio-economic backgrounds. Whether we are seeing a change in the demographic profile of domestic workers with the growth of housecleaning service companies remains unclear. This paper therefore focuses on the recruitment strategies of employers at selected housecleaning service companies in Johannesburg in an attempt to shed light on the challenges that jobseeking domestic workers may face. Open-ended interviews with managers revealed that gender, race, age, long-term unemployment, and technical and personal skills of job-seeking domestic workers have a strong impact on the recruitment process, while immigration status plays a somewhat reduced role. This paper concludes that housecleaning service companies have not changed the demographic profile of domestic workers in South Africa yet, and that paid domestic work is still predominantly a black woman’s job.
