ABSTRACT. The present study results from a consistent processing and imaging of marine seismic data from a set collected over sedimentary basins of the East Brazilian Atlantic. Our general aim is first to subsidize geological interpretations with plausible subsurface images for oil and gas exploration. In second place, to verify published schematic geological interpretation for these basins by underlying the sediment/basement contact, from where subvertical faults are projected upwards through the basin followed by folded structures. The data-driven results can be used to trace the reflector boundaries in the time sections, submitted to time-to-depth axis transformation, and to be used as a first model for further basin pressure prediction, where natural pumps necessarily develop for the mechanism of oil and gas accumulation. The applied fundamental techniques are mainly based on the data-driven common reflection surface stack, where it is shown the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio, the lateral continuity of the reflection events, the resolution, and that time migration collapses the diffraction events. The CRS migration strongly collapsed the diffraction events, allowing some subsurface structures be more evident. The free surface and some shallow internal multiples can be clearly traced for further processing aiming at their attenuation. The interpretation lines are meant to show the geometry of selected reflectors, and to help comparing the results with other similar sections. One can trace some subvertical fault systems starting from the lower part of the section (interpreted as the basement), and their extension upwards through the sedimentary sequence.Keywords: CRS stack, CRS migration, residual static correction, NIP wave tomography. RESUMO. O presente artigo resulta de um processamento e imageamento consistentes de dados sísmicos marinhos de levantamento realizado em bacias sedimentares do Atlântico do Nordeste brasileiro. Nossos objetivos gerais são em primeiro lugar subsidiar as interpretações geológicas com imagens plausíveis do subsolo, e voltadas à exploração de óleo e gás. Em segundo lugar, verificar as interpretações geológicas esquemáticas publicadas para estas bacias, para conferir o delineamento do contato sedimento/embasamento, de onde falhas subvertical são projetadas através da bacia, seguidas de estruturas dobradas. Os resultados baseados em dados reais podem ser usados para delinear interfaces refletoras contidas nas seções tempo, submetidos à transformação da coordenada tempo para profundidade, e que podem ser usados posteriormente como um primeiro modelo para a predição de pressão em bacias sedimentares, onde se desenvolve um bombeamento natural necessário para a acumulação de óleo e gás. As técnicas fundamentais aplicadas baseiam-se principalmente no denominado empilhamento de superfície de reflexão comum, baseado em dados observados, onde se mostra a evolução da relação sinal-ruído, da continuidade lateral dos eventos de reflexão, da resolução, e o colapso dos eventos de difração nas seções de migração do tempo. A migração CRS colapsa fortemente os eventos de difração permitindo que algumas estruturas do subsolo sejam mais evidentes. Múltiplas da superfície livre, e algumas internas rasas, podem ser claramente traçadas para processamento adicional que visam a atenuação. As linhas de interpretação trac¸adas visam mostrar a geometria dos refletores selecionados, e ajudar na comparação com outros resultados de seções semelhantes. Pode-se traçar um sistema de falhas subvertical a partir da base inferior (interpretada como o embasamento) da seção escolhida como referência, e os seus prolongamentos através da sequência sedimentar.Palavras-chave: empilhamento CRS, migração CRS, correção estática residual, tomografia NIP.

PurposeAs entrepreneurial top management teams in multidivisional forms are typically treated in pertinent literature as the default organizational solutions for developing dynamic capabilities, the emerging innovative organizational forms tend to be overlooked, even though they could be a viable means of transforming established enterprises. The present case study examines how Haier's microenterprise and platforms influenced the firm's dynamic capabilities development.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a qualitative case study of Haier Group Corporation in China.FindingsThe findings indicate that Haier employed a loosely coupled relationship between its headquarters and the microenterprises, developed quasi market-based exchange relationships and established peer-to-peer learning opportunities and coordination among its microenterprises. Data analyses further revealed that Haier has adopted three-step routines to capture market opportunities and enhance operational efficiency. This research extends the sensing-seizing-reconfiguration model typically recommended in the existing literature. It also demonstrates that organizational configuration is an important aspect of dynamic innovation. In summary, the study results showcase microdivisionalization as a new way for developing dynamic capabilities to better adapt to the ever-changing market environments.Originality/valueIn summary, our study showcased microdivisionalization as a new way for firms to change the organization structure and business strategies to better adapt to the ever-changing market environments.

The common use of high-resolution tree gauges and downhole permanent pressure/temperature gauges has made it possible to use the measured pressure drop in the wellbore to directly and accurately calculate the gas rate. This is accomplished by first combining an equation of state with a dynamic heat transfer model to create a phase-thermal model (PTM). The PTM is then integrated with a direct solution to the mechanical energy balance (MEB) for flow in pipes. The results obtained using this technique can be as accurate as, or in some cases more accurate than, conventional rate measurements. Since the wellbore may also be used for fluid density validation, the effective gas gravity (an input for many conventional flow rate calculations) may also be determined during shut-ins and used as an input to improve the accuracy of meter provers. The purpose of this paper is to explain the physics behind the gas rate calculation and to present case study results from the implementation of this method in both real-time and historic data processing. The paper will also discuss the limitations of this method and the range of potential applications.

Twin studies have mostly focused on the pattern of maladaptive behaviour manifested by the twins and their biological basis but the findings have remained controversial till date. The present case study explores the psychopathology in 14 year old twins of Indian origin. They were referred for psychometric assessment and psychotherapy for their conduct problems. The tools administered on them during psychometric assessment are Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children IV (WISC-IV), Rorschach Inkblot Test (RIBT) and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Findings are discussed in terms of the personality processes and relationship quality of the twins.
