A Review of the Coronavirus Impact on Higher Education Institutions and Opportunity of Information Technology Applications in Collaborative Work

This chapter describes the challenge to the higher education sector during the coronavirus pandemic. It also presents the lack of preparedness in crisis management and digital education responses of higher education teaching and learning practice. Given that higher education institutions and the student community faced distinct challenges, policy responses and their implications have valuable lessons to learn. The chapter highlights research gaps, including researching the impact on lesser-developed countries, the psychological impact of transition, and the essential role of management in handling the pandemic. It also highlights that the general objective should be to build more resilient higher education teaching and learning delivery systems that are responsive and adaptive to future crises. London's City University decided to move off-campus and into a digital work environment responding to the current pandemic. A case study in the application of an undergraduate software engineering team-based project teaching and learning practice follows.

Industry First Subsea Reentry Multilateral Wells: Case Study

To rapidly increase production from the Goliat Field without adding costly subsea equipment and infrastructure or mobilizing a high-end subsea construction vessel, an operator transformed two single-bore subsea wells into multilateral producers with independently controlled branches. A multidisciplinary team was assigned to perform a feasibility study for the introduction of multilateral wells. Work started with a reservoir geomechanics/wellbore stability review, based on which well construction/completion basis of design was made. The design and operations sequence were analyzed by a well engineering team. As a result, the main risks, uncertainties, and assumptions were clarified. Two candidate wells were identified, and then a multidisciplinary team was assigned to manage the project, finalize design, initiate procurement, and write procedures. Workshop preparation was closely monitored and reported on a weekly basis. The onshore team closely followed up and supported operational execution. The new laterals were added to the existing wells, and multilateral junctions were installed and tested. An intelligent completion was installed, and independent branch production started. In addition, the estimated reduction in generation of CO2 is estimated to be between 10 to 20 thousand metric tons per well as compared with drilling two new subsea wells and installing the associated infrastructure. The technology enables an exploration and production (E&P) company to introduce subsea reentry multilateral technology to increase production while minimizing costs. The process includes well candidate identification, planning, and execution. This practical example can be used for future reference by drilling and production-focused petroleum industry professionals to better understand the benefits and limitations of existing technologies.

Responsibility Assignment in Systems Engineering

The constantly increasing system complexity leads to various challenges in established companies, which can be controlled by using systems engineering processes. INCOSE defines explicit processes with concrete inputs and outputs (artifacts) for this purpose. Systems Engineering roles can be used to organize the tasks of the processes within the company. In this work, the responsibilities of the systems engineering roles on the process artifacts are evaluated by means of the RACI scheme and examined by means of cluster analysis. The work steps are accompanied by discussions and results of a systems engineering transformation project with a large German automotive OEM. The goal of the study is to identify the minimum size of a systems engineering team and prioritize the systems engineering roles. As a result, the (sometimes contradictory) requirements from the methodological perspective of systems engineering and the organizational perspective of project management become manageable in the control and execution of systems engineering projects.

Exploring a model nuclear planning and response program: Evaluating public awareness of written risk and emergency

High-reliability organizations (HROs) including commercial airlines, the NASA Space Shuttle engineering team, US Naval aircraft carrier and nuclear submarine crews, and US nuclear power plants are relatively safe. However, these organizations experience system breakdowns often with catastrophic outcomes. This study focuses on risk information management strategies employed by a nuclear energy power plant located within 10 miles of a population center. The evacuation planning zone (EPZ) includes a hospital, several schools, and a public university. The nuclear plant provides written preparedness and evacuation information for all residents within the EPZ in the event of a radiological emergency. Focusing on the campus community within the EPZ, this study investigates individual awareness regarding the potential of a radiological event, the emergency information booklet, and the information provided within the booklet. We use descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, and cross tabulations (contingency tables) to establish awareness levels. Our study determines those participants who read the emergency instructions booklet are prepared to make an informed decision in the event of a radiological incident. We find college affiliation, educational level, university role, and age significantly related to emergency instruction booklet utilization. We also find gender is significantly linked to overall risk perception regarding a radiological event. Findings support previous research regarding women’s higher levels of risk aversion and pessimism involving dangerous new risky technologies and activities like nuclear energy plants. These findings support modifying policy to ensure nuclear facilities assess the efficacy of their warning systems in alerting the public. Furthermore, our findings provide guidance regarding the evaluation of the effectiveness of emergency instruction booklet distribution.

Remote Reservoir Exploration in Odoptu-More Field by Delivering ERD Wells Using Multilateral Drilling Technology

This paper provides the results that were achieved and shares the drilling unique practices that were implemented to deliver the first complex bilateral extended reach drilling (ERD) well in Odoptu-more field (North Dome). Well design driven by geological objectives considered drilling 215.9mm main and pilot holes (PH). Well complexity was governed by the type of a profile having ERD ratio of 5.22 (main hole) / 4.60 (PH) and trajectory's 3D nature (turn in azimuth of 90 degrees) compared to previous wells in the project drilled mainly with 2D profiles. Apart from the problems connected with drilling and casing upper sections key challenges comprised kicking off in 215.9mm open hole at 5955m MD and 1512m TVD with rotary steerable system, setting cement plugs at shallow true vertical depth (TVD) at 89 degrees of inclination to abandon laterally drilled PH, delivering 168.3mm production liner to bottom with a risk of entering a lateral while running in hole. An effective collaboration between integrated engineering team and customer departments went far beyond ERD standard set of operations already existing in the project thus allowing to break its own records and to set new achievements due to integrated technological approach. The longest 444.5mm section (2975 m) was drilled in one run achieving the record daily drilling rate and rate of penetration (ROP). Cementing of 244.5mm floated liner resulted in the highest good cement bond integrity percentage ever achieved among other wells in project due to new ways of casing standoff and fluid rheology hierarchy modeling. For the first time in the project 215.9mm main horizontal hole in extreme reach ERD well has been drilled by kicking off in open hole from the pilot horizontal one with push-the-bit rotary steerable system without a kickoff plug with pilot hole being abandoned by setting cement plugs. Project-specific risk assessment conducted by team allowed successful deployment of 168.3mm liner into the main hole. Moreover, due to thorough engineering planning electrical submersible pump (ESP) was run without extending 244.5mm liner to surface by tie-back thus saving additional 7 days. Drilling first bilateral ERD well unlocked opportunities for the operator to reach, explore and develop different extended geological targets thus eliminating well construction process of additional wells on drilling upper sections.

Facilities Development And Socialization Of Bule-Brazilians In Buckets (Guide For The Event Of Community Economic Independence)

Gresik, one of the industrial cities in Indonesia, has recorded that more than 1000 workers have been laid off. The increasing unemployment in Gresik makes the government have to work extra hard to help the community's problems. However, the burden of this community's powerlessness cannot be transferred to the government all the time. Even though the government is still very busy with the unresolved COVID-19 cases. The Community Service proposed by the UMG Industrial Engineering team took the theme of Fish Cultivation in Buckets (Fish farming in buckets), which is better known as aquaponics. The concept of Fish farming in buckets itself is to unite plants and fish in a bucket, resulting in a symbiotic mutualism that is very beneficial for both parties. The object of this research will be conducted at the Industrial Engineering Study Program, University of Muhammadiyah Gresik (TI-UMG) by giving invitations to residents of Yosowilangun Gresik, especially the FAMILY WELFARE DEVELOPMENT group and the Yatim Mandiri foundation. The reason why the debriefing is preferred to the FAMILY WELFARE DEVELOPMENT and Yatim Mandiri groups is none other than the fact that FAMILY WELFARE DEVELOPMENT is a collection of housewives where it is likely that some of the heads of their families will be laid off. And the Yatim Mandiri Foundation is here to support the improvement of the economic independence of the orphan group.

Strategic Alliance Enables Fast-Track Engineering and Expeditious Deployment of Novel Flowable Sensors & Water Reactive Nano-Composite Plugs in MENA

Fast-track engineering to expeditiously deploy new technologies in upstream oil and gas heavily relies on timely agreement and synergy between the engineering team and stakeholders on (1) tool architecture (2) operational envelope and wellbore environment (3) qualification criteria(s) and overall verification & validation (V&V) strategy, among others which lead to the product specifications. Here we present a "Case Study" where two new technologies, were engineered to order for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions: a first-generation Pressure-Temperature (P-T) flowable sensor from our "Teleo" product line, and a multilayered water reactive plug for multi-stage stimulation (MSS) and acid frac, designed from bulk ultrafine-grained light alloys and water reactive, nanocomposites.

Buzios Presalt Wells: Delivering Intelligent Completion In Ultra-Deepwater Carbonate Reservoirs

This paper describes the challenges faced on the deployment of intelligent well completion (IWC) systems in some of the wells built in Buzios field, mostly related to heavy fluid losses that occurred during the well construction. It also presents the solutions used to overcome them. This kind of event affects not only drilling and casing cementing operations, but may also prevent a safe and efficient installation of the completion system as initially designed. The IWC design typically used in Brazilian pre-salt areas comprises cased hole wells. Perforation operations must be performed before installing the integral completion system, as it does not include a separation between upper and lower completion. Therefore, the reservoir remains communicated to the wellbore during the whole completion installation process, frequently requiring prior fluid loss control as to allow safe deployment. Rock characteristics found in this field make it difficult to effectively control losses in some of the wells, requiring the use of different well construction practices that led to the development of some new well designs. The well engineering team developed a new well concept, where a separated lower completion system is installed in open hole, delivering temporary reservoir isolation. This new well architecture not only delivers reduced drilling and completion duration and costs, but also provides the IWC features in wells with major fluid losses. This is possible by the use of multiple managed pressure drilling (MPD) techniques when required, which were considered since the initial design phase. Safe and effective construction of some wells in pre-salt fields was considered not feasible before the adoption of MPD solutions, both for drilling and completions. Other important aspects considered on the new well design are the large thickness and high productivity of Buzios field reservoirs, as well as the need of some flexibility to deal with uncertainties. Finally, the new completion project was also designed to improve performance and safety on future challenging heavy workover interventions. The well construction area has gradually obtained improved performance in Buzios field with the adoption of the new practices and well design presented in this paper. The new solutions developed for Buzios field have set a new drilling and completion philosophy for pre-salt wells, setting the grounds for future projects. The improved performance is essential to keep these deepwater projects competitive, especially in challenging oil price scenarios. One of the groundbreaking solutions used is the possibility of installing the lower completion using managed pressure drilling techniques.
