This study used structural contour maps to carry out the geometrical analysis for Faihaa structure in Basra southern Iraq. The study used row data of well logs and structural maps while Softwares were Didger 4, Stereonet v.11 and Petrel 2017 Faihaa Oil Field is located at an eastern part of the Mesopotamian Zone within the Zubair Subzone, characterized by subsurface geological structures covered by Quaternary sediments. These structures are oriented in the NW-SE direction in the eastern part of the band and the N-S direction in the southern region, and some in the direction NE-SW. The Faihaa Oil Field shows that is an Anticline structure. The average dip value of an axial surface is 89.7° while the plunge of hinge line between 4–4.2 in North-West direction referred to that Faihaa Structure is upright and gentle fold. Based on the Thickness ratio and axial angle, the Faihaa Structure is thickened Fold. The eastern limb of the fold is longer than the western limb, so Faihaa Oil Field is an asymmetrical structure. The difference in dimensions (5<Length / Width < 2) confirmed the brachy fold of the Faihaa structure.

During World War II, representatives of almost all the Soviet Republics fought in partisan detachments in the occupied territory of the Leningrad Region. Among them were many representatives of the Central Asian republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Many Leningrad citizens, including relatives of partisans, had been evacuated to Central Asia by that time. However, representatives of Asian workers’ collectives came to meet with the partisans. The huge distance, the difference in cultures and even completely different weather conditions did not become an obstacle to those patriots-Turkestanis who joined the resistance forces in the North-West of Russia.

Aiming to characterise the properties of the molecular gas in the ultra-luminous infrared galaxy Mrk 273 and its outflow, we used the NOEMA interferometer to image the dense-gas molecular tracers HCN, HCO+, HNC, HOC+ and HC3N at ∼86 GHz and ∼256 GHz with angular resolutions of 4ʺ̣9 × 4ʺ̣5 (∼3.7 × 3.4 kpc) and 0ʺ̣61 × 0ʺ̣55 (∼460 × 420 pc). We also modelled the flux of several H2O lines observed with Herschel using a radiative transfer code that includes excitation by collisions and far-infrared photons. The disc of the Mrk 273 north nucleus has two components with decoupled kinematics. The gas in the outer parts (R ∼ 1.5 kpc) rotates with a south-east to north-west direction, while in the inner disc (R ∼ 300 pc) follows a north-east to south-west rotation. The central 300 pc, which hosts a compact starburst region, is filled with dense and warm gas, and contains a dynamical mass of (4 −5) × 109 M⊙, a luminosity of L′HCN = (3–4) × 108 K km s−1 pc2, and a dust temperature of 55 K. At the very centre, a compact core with R ∼ 50 pc has a luminosity of LIR = 4 × 1011 L⊙ (30% of the total infrared luminosity), and a dust temperature of 95 K. The core is expanding at low velocities ∼50–100 km s−1, probably affected by the outflowing gas. We detect the blue-shifted component of the outflow, while the red-shifted counterpart remains undetected in our data. Its cold and dense phase reaches fast velocities up to ∼1000 km s−1, while the warm outflowing gas has more moderate maximum velocities of ∼600 km s−1. The outflow is compact, being detected as far as 460 pc from the centre in the northern direction, and has a mass of dense gas ≤8 × 108 M⊙. The difference between the position angles of the inner disc (∼70°) and the outflow (∼10°) indicates that the outflow is likely powered by the AGN, and not by the starburst. Regarding the chemistry in Mrk 273, we measure an extremely low HCO+/HOC+ ratio of 10 ± 5 in the inner disc of Mrk 273.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari perbedaan pola sebaran ikan pada musim barat dan peralihan di perairan utara Semarang sampai dengan Brebes, berdasarkan pada pengambilan contoh akustik dan oseanografi pada bulan Desember 2005 dan Mei 2006. Hasil menunjukkan secara spasial, pada musim barat di perairan utara Semarang sampai dengan Brebes kepadatan ikan pelagis lebih besar di daerah yang lebih dangkal yaitu sebelah selatan pada kedalaman <40 m, semakin ke tengah kepadatan semakin berkurang. Dilihat dari nilai target strength yang terdeteksi yaitu antara -60 sampai dengan -50 dB bahkan didominasi oleh ikan -60 sampai dengan -55 dB, sasaran merupakan ikan pelagis kecil yang rata-rata mempunyai ukuran 4 sampai dengan 12,5 cm. Pada musim peralihan sebaran kepadatan ikan pelagis kecil cenderung lebih merata dengan jumlah yang lebih rendah daripada jumlah ikan pada musim barat. Faktor pergerakan arah arus dan keberadaan sumber makanan yang lebih besar pada musim barat diduga merupakan penyebab perbedaan tersebut. Ikan pelagis kecil pada musim peralihan berukuran lebih besar dibandingkan ketika musim barat, dengan nilai target strength yang terdeteksi antara -60 sampai dengan -45 dB atau sekitar 4 sampai dengan 22 cm dan didominasi oleh ikan yang berukuran -55 sampai dengan -50 dB atau sekitar 7 sampai dengan 12,5 cm. Sebaran kepadatan Ikan demersal hampir merata pada ke-2 musim tersebut, pada musim peralihan kepadatan lebih rendah daripada musim barat. Ikan demersal pada musim barat terdiri atas ikan berukuran kecil (-55 sampai dengan -50 dB) atau sekitar 7 sampai dengan 12,5 cm terutama di daerah pada kedalaman <40 m, semakin ke tengah ukuran semakin besar yaitu antara -50 sampai dengan -45 dB atau sekitar 12,5 sampai dengan 22 cm. Pada musim peralihan, ikan demersal dengan target strength -55 sampai dengan -50 dB terdapat di kedalaman <40 m. Ikan demersal dengan ukuran -50 sampai dengan -45 dB mendominasi periode ini. Pada kedalaman >45 m terdeteksi ikan -45 sampai dengan -35 dB yang berkisar 22 sampai dengan 70 cm. The aim of this study is to understood the difference of fish pattern distributions at North West and intermonsoon in North of Central Java waters, based on acoustic and oceanography sampling in December 2005 and May 2006. At North West monsoon, the density of pelagic fishes was more gathering in narrower areas <40 m, and low fish density was going to middle areas. Seen from target strength the value was detected about -60 to -50 dB and it was dominated by fishes -60 to -55 dB, the targets for small pelagic fishes are about 4 to 12,5 cm. At the intermonsoon, distribution of small pelagic fishes density tends to be flat, but fish density at this time was the lower than North West monsoon. The higly current direction and food source factor at North West monsoon may cause this difference. The size of small pelagic fishes at the intermonsoon was bigger than fishes at North West monsoon, which target strength value was detected about -60 to -45 dB or 4 to 22 cm and dominated by fishes -55 to -50 dB of about 7 to 12,5 cm. The density distribution of demersal fishes almost flat at both monsoon. How ever at intermonsoon, the demersal fishes density was lower than that at North and West season. Demersal fishes at North West monsoon consisted of small fishes (-55 to -50 dB) with size of about 7 to 12,5 cm especially in narrow areas <40 m, and fish sizes the larger (-50 to -45 dB or 12,5 to 22 cm) were going to the middle areas. At intermonsoon, there were demersal fishes with target strength -55 to -50 dB at <40 m. Demersal fishes with target strength -55 to -50 dB were dominant at this time. At areas >45 m it was detected fishes of -45 to -35 dB target strength of about 22 to 70 cm.

     The Yamama Formation includes important carbonates reservoir that belongs to the Lower Cretaceous sequence in Southern Iraq. This study covers two oil fields (Sindbad and Siba) that are distributed Southeastern Basrah Governorate, South of Iraq. Yamama reservoir units were determined based on the study of cores, well logs, and petrographic examination of thin sections that required a detailed integration of geological data and petrophysical properties. These parameters were integrated in order to divide the Yamama Formation into six reservoir units (YA0, YA1, YA2, YB1, YB2 and YC), located between five cap rock units. The best facies association and petrophysical properties were found in the shoal environment, where the most common porosity types were the primary (interparticle) and secondary (moldic and vugs) . The main diagenetic process that occurred in YA0, YA2, and YB1 is cementation, which led to the filling of pore spaces by cement and subsequently decreased the reservoir quality (porosity and permeability). Based on the results of the final digital  computer interpretation and processing (CPI) performed by using the Techlog software, the units YA1 and YB2 have the best reservoir properties. The unit YB2 is characterized by a good effective porosity average, low water saturation, good permeability, and large thickness that distinguish it from other reservoir units.

The Legendre North and South Oil Fields (together referred to as the field) have been producing since May 2001 from high rate horizontal wells and had produced 18 MMBBL by end 2002. This represents about 45% of the proven and probable reserves for the field.Many pre-drill uncertainties remain. The exploration and development wells are located primarily along the crest of the structure, leaving significant gross rock volume uncertainty on the flanks of the field. Qualitative use of amplitudes provides some insight into the Legendre North Field but not the Legendre South Field where the imaging is poor. The development wells were drilled horizontally and did not intersect any fluid contacts.Early field life has brought some surprises, despite a rigorous assessment of uncertainty during the field development planning process. Higher than expected gas-oil ratios suggested a saturated oil with small primary gas caps, rather than the predicted under-saturated oil. Due to the larger than expected gas volumes, the gas reinjection system proved to have inadequate redundancy resulting in constrained production from the field. The pre-drill geological model has required significant changes to reflect the drilling and production results to date. The intra-field shales needed to be areally much smaller than predicted to explain well intersections and production performance. This is consistent with outcrop analogues.Surprises are common when an oil field is first developed and often continue to arise during secondary development phases. Learnings, in the context of subsurface uncertainty, from other oil fields in the greater North West Shelf are compared briefly to highlight the importance of managing uncertainty during field development planning. It is important to have design flexibility to enable facility adjustments to be made easily, early in field life.
