The article introduces the problems of choosing a methodological base for forming and accounting costs during well construction, taking into account the intensification of gas inflow at the final stage of field development. The main methods that allow taking into account the costs of drilling operations are outlined. The main costs that need to be taken into account when designing fields with hard-to-recover gas reserves are identified and characterized. The main stages of cost formation by construction phases of a gas-producing well are shown, as well as the factors influencing the level and structure of the cost price during the construction of a well are highlighted. The authors consider the classification of cost accounting methods in the context of the comparison criterion and present the possible results of the correct choice of the cost formation method during the construction of a gas well at the final stage of its development.

Drilling mud density is an important factor in drilling operations. The cost of the drilling mud used for oil and gas well drilling can be 10%-15% of the total drilling cost, and the deeper the well, the more the needed drilling mud. This research aims to prepare a mud that provides performance similar to the conventional mud and to lower down the dependency of primitive CaCO3 technology by exploring it from trash/polluted and naturally occurring materials. For that purpose, a mud was prepared by replacing primeval CaCO3 with the CaCO3 derived from eggshells, as eggshells contain CaCO3 in high amounts which range from 70% to 95%. The success of this project will provide an affordable solution and an alternative way to explore new methodologies for obtaining CaCO3. According to the 2017 Report of Pakistan Poultry Association (PPA) 18,000 Million table eggs are consumed per year in Pakistan. The obtained results of this research are quite satisfactory. CaCO3 obtained from eggshells is used in high amounts, 275–410g to achieve density ranges from 9.5 to 11.0 pounds per gallon whereas, pure the needed quantity of pure CaCO3 is 150g to obtain the density of 10.5 pounds per gallon. Apart from this, it is also observed that eggshell based CaCO3 samples are more efficient in rheological properties compared to the market samples of CaCO3 t. The pH of pure CaCO3 sample of 10.5 pounds per gallon density is almost the same with the sample of eggshell CaCO3 of 10.5 pounds per gallon density.

The Korean government proposed a goal to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 37% compared to business-as-usual levels by 2030 and launched the Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED) certification system. The certification requires meeting the required score and material selection with a secured economy and construction efficiency. However, most buildings only focus on obtaining the certification scores instead of choosing economical materials with high construction efficiency. This research focused on developing a material selection model that considers both the construction efficiency and economy of the materials and the acquisition of material and resource evaluation scores from the G-SEED certification. This research, therefore, analyzed actual data to automate the material selection and compare alternatives to using a genetic algorithm to obtain optimized alternatives. This model proposes an alternative to constructability and economy when the required score and material information is entered. When the model was applied to actual cases, the result revealed a reduction in construction costs of about 37% compared to the cost with the traditional methods. The material selection model from this research can benefit construction project owners in terms of cost reduction, designers in terms of structural design time, and constructors in terms of construction efficiency

Background: There has been an increase in rate of cesarean section over last five decades. This is a matter of international public health concern as it increases the cesarean section related maternal morbidity. The aim of the present study was to audit the increasing rate of caesarean section.Methods: In the present study, all cases delivered by cesarean section during the period of six months were recorded and classified according to Robson's 10 group classification system. This was an attempt to see which clinically relevant groups contributed most to the cesarean deliveries.Results: There was a trend of increased percentage of cesarean section in group 5 and 2 respectively in present study. Increasingly sedentary lifestyle and poor tolerance to pain are adding to cesarean delivery on maternal request.Conclusions: We should judiciously make use of vaginal birth after cesarean section but not at the cost of maternal or fetal health. Standardization of indication of cesarean deliveries, regular audits and definite protocols in                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 hospital will aid in curbing the rate of cesarean deliveries in hospitals.

Strategies for the management of small bowel obstructions have changed significantly over the years. Nonoperative medical management has become the mainstay of treatment of many small bowel obstructions. However, the key to the management of small bowel obstructions is identifying those patients who need surgical intervention. Identification of those at risk for bowel ischemia and bowel death is an art as much as it is a science. Using the current literature and the past knowledge regarding small bowel obstructions, the clinician must carefully identify the signs and symptoms that suggest the need for operative intervention. Classification of the obstruction, history and physical examination, imaging, response to decompression and resuscitation, and resolution or progression of symptoms are the key factors influencing the management of small bowel obstructions.

Abstract The analysis of wellbore stability in gas wells is vital for effective drilling operations, especially in Brown fields and for modern drilling technologies. Tensile failure mode of Wellbore stability problems usually occur when drilling through hydrocarbon formations such as shale, unconsolidated sandstone, sand units, natural fractured formations and HPHT formations with narrow safety mud window. These problems can significantly affect drilling time, costs and the whole drilling operations. In the case of the candidate onshore gas well Niger Delta, there was severe lost circulation events and gas cut mud while drilling. However, there was need for a consistent adjustment of the tight drilling margin, flow, and mud rheology to allow for effective filter-cake formation around the penetrated natural fractures and traversed depleted intervals without jeopardizing the well integrity. Several assumptions were validly made for formations with voids or natural fractures, because the presence of these geological features influenced rock anisotropic properties, wellbore stress concentration and failure behavior with end point of partial – to-total loss circulation events. This was a complicated phenomenon, because the pre-drilled stress distribution simulation around the candidate wellbore was investigated to be affected by factors such as rock properties, far-field principal stresses, wellbore trajectory, formation pore pressure, reservoir and drilling fluids properties and time without much interest on traversing through voids or naturally fractured layers. This study reviews the major causes of the severe losses encountered, the adopted fractured permeability mid-line mudweight window mitigation process, stress caging strategies and other operational decisions adopted to further salvage and drill through the naturally fractured and depleted intervals, hence regaining the well integrity by reducing NPT and promoting well-early-time-production for the onshore gas well Niger Delta.

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) sizing and cost estimation has become a challenging task at the early stages of offshore field development. During the early stages of field development designer needs to size and estimate cost in order to decide feasibility of the project. This paper describes a step by step method used to size and estimate the cost of a new built (or) converted FPSO based on basic engineering, existing FPSO data and corresponding metocean criteria for a particular location. This step by step approach covers FPSO sizing, hull structural design, mooring sizing, topsides support design and steel renewal using offshore classification rules and regulations. FPSO cost is estimated based on the design particulars (i.e. hull weights, FPSO particulars, mooring sizes etc.) and current market unit rates. This approach is an effective means to size and estimate cost of an FPSO at early stages of field development which saves overall time and cost for a client.
