Seismic Images

Seismic acquisition has undergone a revolution over the last few decades. The volume of data acquired has increased exponentially, and the quality of seismic images obtained has improved tremendously. While the total cost of acquiring a seismic survey has increased, the cost per trace has dropped precipitously. Land surveys have evolved from sparse 2D lines acquired with a few dozen receivers to densely sampled 3D multiazimuth surveys. Marine surveys that once may have consisted of a small boat pulling a single cable have evolved to large streamer vessels pulling multiple cables and air-gun arrays and to ocean-bottom detectors that require significant fleets to place the detectors, shoot the sources, and provide support. These surveys collect data that are wide azimuth and typically fairly well sampled.

Cooper Basin

Over the last two decades, minimal gas exploration was undertaken in the northeastern Cooper Basin. It was viewed the area held negligible gas potential due to the perceived absence of conventional anticlinal traps and the marginal reservoir quality of the Permian sandstones.With the award of permit ATP 549P to Mount Isa Mines Limited in mid-1993, available seismic and well data were reviewed to highlight potential fault-controlled traps in the region and to define areas likely to contain more favourable reservoir sandstones. A vibroseis seismic survey provided the initial prospects and leads inventory upon which the 1994 drilling program was based. Four prospects were tested resulting in three gas discoveries.Based on these encouraging results, an additional phase of seismic acquisition was completed to increase the prospect inventory. Thereafter, a five well program was undertaken. Whilst the two appraisal wells were successful, three wildcat wells failed due to ineffective trapping.A completion and testing program has been initiated to further evaluate the field discoveries.From an exploration viewpoint, the recognition of a consistently productive sandstone in the basal Toolachee Formation within a broad fairway across the eastern ATP 549P permit block was a significant result which has important implications for future activities. Within the fairway, gas flows varying from 0.4 MMcfd up to 6.0 MMcfd were measured on openhole tests. In addition, substantial gas volumes in low permeability sandstones within the Patchawarra Formation have been defined.These discoveries, coupled with the number of prospects and leads and the proposed gas pipeline to Mount Isa and to southeast Queensland markets, provide strong impetus to the continued evaluation of this northern extension of the Cooper Basin gas province.

This research aimed to study the cost potential of shallot in Rasi Salai District, Sisaket Province in order to lead to planning on pricing, marketing, improving the quality of shallot and analyzing data of farmers and shallot production. The research findings on the general information of shallot farmers revealed that they consisted of 75% of males and 25% of females with 40-49 years of age or 50%. Most of their educational levels were 55% of primary level or lower. They grew shallot together with other crops. The Bang Chang varieties (local shallot varieties of Sisaket Province) were grown most of 75% and the other 25% of local northern verities called Hom Bua. The 70% of planting shallots were harvested from the last season and the other 30% were purchased from other farmers in the market.  The shallot productivity per rai was uncertain depending on the caring, fertilizing and disturbing disease. Approximately 35% of the farmers harvested 1,200-1,500 kilograms per rai or 25%. Regarding the production cost of shallot, it was found that the average mount was 8,151.5 baht per rai with the highest amount of verities of 3,250 baht per rai or 15.2%. The cost of insecticide was 1,000 baht or 10.2% of the total cost. In addition, the least cost was transportation for 3.3% only because most merchants bought shallots at the farming sites.  According to sale data, 70% of the farmers sold local verieties of Sisaket Province with average price of 30 baht per kilogram, followed by 15% of Hom Bua with an average price of 45 baht per kilogram. The average income earned by farmers in each household was different at 20,001-25,000 baht per rai

Seismic Acquisition

Abstract Acquiring surface seismic data can be challenging in areas of intense human activities, due to presence of infrastructures (roads, houses, rigs), often leaving large gaps in the fold of coverage that can span over several kilometers. Modern interpolation algorithms can interpolate up to a certain extent, but quality of reconstructed seismic data diminishes as the acquisition gap increases. This is where vintage seismic acquisition can aid processing and imaging, especially if previous acquisition did not face the same surface obstacles. In this paper we will present how the legacy seismic survey has helped to fill in the data gaps of the new acquisition and produced improved seismic image. The new acquisition survey is part of the Mega 3D onshore effort undertaken by ADNOC, characterized by dense shot and receiver spacing with focus on full azimuth and broadband. Due to surface infrastructures, data could not be completely acquired leaving sizable gap in the target area. However, a legacy seismic acquisition undertaken in 2014 had access to such gap zones, as infrastructures were not present at the time. Legacy seismic data has been previously processed and imaged, however simple post-imaging merge would not be adequate as two datasets were processed using different workflows and imaging was done using different velocity models. In order to synchronize the two datasets, we have processed them in parallel. Data matching and merging were done before regularization. It has been regularized to radial geometry using 5D Matching Pursuit with Fourier Interpolation (MPFI). This has provided 12 well sampled azimuth sectors that went through surface consistent processing, multiple attenuation, and residual noise attenuation. Near surface model was built using data-driven image-based static (DIBS) while reflection tomography was used to build the anisotropic velocity model. Imaging was done using Pre-Stack Kirchhoff Depth Migration. Processing legacy survey from the beginning has helped to improve signal to noise ratio which assisted with data merging to not degrade the quality of the end image. Building one near surface model allowed both datasets to match well in time domain. Bringing datasets to the same level was an important condition before matching and merging. Amplitude and phase analysis have shown that both surveys are aligned quite well with minimal difference. Only the portion of the legacy survey that covers the gap was used in the regularization, allowing MPFI to reconstruct missing data. Regularized data went through surface multiple attenuation and further noise attenuation as preconditioning for migration. Final image that is created using both datasets has allowed target to be imaged better.

Operative care is one of the major areas of healthcare services as over 310 million surgeries are conducted yearly. Surgery cancellations is a widely used indicator when evaluating the quality of preoperative care. Cancellations cause financial lost for organizations, however there is only limited research about the costs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost of elective day of surgery (DOS) cancellations in 13 operative specialties at a university hospital in Finland between September 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 after a structured preoperative protocol was implemented to practice and a cancellation rate of 4.7% was recognized. Procedure prices conducted the data for the research and were collected from the hospital’s invoicing system. Financial loss and savings of cancellations were calculated from the total cost of procedures. As a result the total cost of DOS cancellations during the nine-month time period was 953,374.27 euros and mean loss of a single cancelled operation was 2,459.91 euros. The total of material savings for the hospital were 106,917.33 euros. As a conclusion, DOS cancellations cause unnecessary wastage, and financial aspects should be followed and evaluated systematically by setting goals and providing continuing developments.

e18524 Background: Pembrolizumab has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of recurrent and refractory squamous cell cancer of the Head and Neck. This approval was based on the favorable results noted in the pembrolizumab arm of the KEYNOTE-040 clinical trial which compared pembrolizumab with the standard of care (methotrexate/cetuximab/docetaxel). This study aims to compare the financial aspects of these treatment arms in the setting of their relative clinical advantages in terms of increased overall survival by applying current pricing of the drugs and treatment for side effects. Methods: Data published from the KEYNOTE-040 study was used to generate a model incorporating the cost of each drug in both arms. The incidence of side effects was also extracted from the published data. The cost of treatment of side effects was extracted from previously published data and used for cost estimation in the model. The number of years added in terms of overall survival was calculated for the entire experimental arm and the cost of each such year was calculated. This model assumes that all drugs were supplied at the cost indicated at the retail price advertised by their producers. The cost was adjusted for inflation to the current year. Results: Based on current pricing, 248 patients in the control arm which involved methotrexate /cetuximab /docetaxel incurred an estimated total cost of $2,918,185 over 24 months. The total cost for the pembrolizumab arm based on current pricing was $36,744,819 for 247 patients over 24 months. The cost of management of adverse effects was $383,910 vs. $18,728 (Std. of care vs. Pembrolizumab). The total cost averaged over all patients in both arms was $13,314 vs. $ 148,840. There is an inverse relationship between drug cost and management of adverse side effects in both arms. Conclusions: Treatment with pembrolizumab confers an increase in overall survival but the cost of the incremental gain appears to be high. The model makes several assumptions including the distribution of cost over the patient population in both arms and extrapolates it to the cost in US dollars. It is very likely that the quality of life was superior in the pembrolizumab arm but it was not incorporated into our model. Justification of the continued use of pembrolizumab must be weighed against the long term survival benefits accrued by its usage in the context of a different and possibly better quality of life.

On the basis of balancing rations of cows taking into account daily yields, additives, quality of volume feed, as well as the cost of rations, the economic efficiency of the complex of feed additives is deter-mined. The observations were carried out in farm in the Tver region, the Agrofirm Dmitrova Gora JSC. The branch, where the research was carried out, includes several sites for milk production and cultivation of young cattle. From lactating cows Holstein breed expect to receive the maximum amount of dairy products, both for lactation, and for the entire life of use. But the expectation should be active, the animal should be properly prepared for the physiologically stressful period of milk formation. Based on the re-sults, it can be stated that the volume feed in the farm, which breeds highly productive Holstein cattle, should be the 1 and 2 class. The additional cost of a complete balance of the diet while increasing the dai-ly yield from 17 kg to 39 kg using a set of feed additives pays off, reducing the total cost of feed in the calculation by 1 kg of milk received and increasing feed payment by 88.1%.

To tackle the issue in deep crowd sensing, a Time and Location Correlation Incentive (TLCI) scheme is proposed for deep data gathering in crowdsourcing networks. In TLCI scheme, a metric named “Quality of Information Satisfaction Degree” (QoISD) is to quantify how much collected sensing data can satisfy the application’s QoI requirements mainly in terms of data quantity and data coverage. Two incentive algorithms are proposed to satisfy QoISD with different view. The first algorithm is to ensure that the application gets the specified sensing data to maximize the QoISD. Thus, in the first incentive algorithm, the reward for data sensing is to maximize the QoISD. The second algorithm is to minimize the cost of the system while meeting the sensing data requirement and maximizing the QoISD. Thus, in the second incentive algorithm, the reward for data sensing is to maximize the QoISD per unit of reward. Finally, we compare our proposed scheme with existing schemes via extensive simulations. Extensive simulation results well justify the effectiveness of our scheme. The QoISD can be optimized by 81.92%, and the total cost can be reduced by 31.38%.

Background: An indicator of success in maintaining quality of service in patient nutrition can be measured from leftovers. In average inpatients got soft food as much as 40.1% and about 20.5% of them have leftovers. One benefit of leftover data is that they can be used to evaluate provision of hospital foods. Leftovers indicate that there is a waste in food cost.Objective: To analyze leftovers of hospital soft food in the provision of food using outsourcing system at Gunung Jati Hospital of Cirebon Municipality.Method: This was an observational study that used cross sectional design. Samples were as many as 93 patients. Data were analyzed quantitatively using chi square to identify in factors correlation the presence of leftovers and correlation in respondents’ satisfaction with the quality of food with the presence of leftovers and to identify correlation of irrelevance with leftovers of hospital soft foods portion served with the presence of leftovers. Characteristics of respondents and cost of foods wasted were analyzed using univariate technique.Result: The result of statistical analysis showed that there was significant  correlation in sex, level of education, types of diseases and appetite  on the presence of leftovers (p < 0.05) and there was no significant correlation based on age and class of hospitalization (p > 0.05). There was no significant correlation in respondents’ satisfaction with quality of foods on the presence of leftovers (p > 0.05). There was significant correlation between irrelevances in the amount of soft food portion served on the presence of leftovers.  Total cost foods wasted was Rp 12.559.12/day.Conclusion: There was correlation in sex, level of education, types of diseases and appetite on the presence of leftovers. There was no significant correlation in respondents’ satisfaction with quality of foods on the presence of leftovers (p > 0.05). There was significant correlation between irrelevances in the amount of soft food portion served with leftovers. The cost of foods wasted based on class of hospitalization served greatly varied.
