Carbonate matrix stimulation technology has progressed tremendously in the last decade through creative laboratory research and novel fluid advancements. Still, existing methods for optimizing the stimulation of wells in vast carbonate reservoirs are inadequate. Consequently, oil and gas wells are stimulated routinely to expand production and maximize recovery. Matrix acidizing is extensively used because of its low cost and ability to restore the original productivity of damaged wells and provide additional production capacity. The Ahdeb oil field lacks studies in matrix acidizing; therefore, this work provided new information on limestone acidizing in the Mishrif reservoir. Moreover, several reports have been issued on the difficulties encountered during the stimulation operation of the Ahdeb oil field, particularly for the development of the Mishrif reservoir. Since the new core flooding system is built to operate safely and straightforwardly. This study introduced the results of Matrix acidizing experiments, covering the most recent developments in linear core flooding. High-permeability flow pathways are created, and a longer and wider wormhole was generated at a high acid injection rate (6.67 cc/min). The acid efficiency curve yielded the lowest pore volume injected at the breakthrough of the PV_(bt-opt) is 2.73 and the v_(i-opt)=0.6 cm/min; thus, the optimum injection rate that results in an optimal possible wormhole and the least quantity of acid being used for this reservoir is 2.16 cc/min. This research evaluated the impact of matrix acidizing treatment on acoustic characteristics, which studies show are lacking or have never been investigated previously. Furthermore, in the assessment of geomechanical rock properties and elastic and petrophysical parameters before and after acid injection, one of the new concepts discovered during the lab experiment observation of the acoustic waveform before and after acid treatment for the tested rock sample is that the initial arrival time before acid treatment is 21.6 microseconds, with a delay of 31.2 microseconds attributed to the wormhole channel and mineral disintegration. CT-Scan applications in matrix acidizing were investigated in this research; additionally, a 3D view of plug samples was constructed to represent the wormhole extension via CT-processing software. A license of Stimpro Stimulation Software has been used to validate the experimental work to the field scale, making it the most comprehensive instrument for planning and monitoring matrix acid treatment and utilizing actual data to provide a far better knowledge of the well's reaction, with methods that represent the reality of what is happening in the reservoir before, during, and after matrix acid treatments, through the post-treatment skin factor which is the most often utilized statistic for analyzing stimulation treatments and relies on the geometry of the wormholed zone. The acid treatment evaluated for the well AD-12, primarily for the zone Mi4; matrix acid treatments can have their production behavior predicted or matched using the reservoir simulation and production analysis option, employing the numerical simulation license software Petrel (Schlumberger) and Rubis (KAPPA) to determine the efficacy of previous treatments and the economics associated with future treatments. The estimated oil gain volume and percentage for the Mi4 unit in Ad-12 using particularly skin value -3.97 computed from Stimpro software for real stimulation acid job, it is yield enhancement in production of oil gain volume 6154 barrels as well as 105% increase of gain percentage for three months after matrix acidizing.
With the increasing rates of cancer worldwide, a great deal of scientific discourse is devoted to arguments and statements about cancer and its causes. Scientists from different fields try to seize any available chance to warn people of the risk of consuming and exposing to carcinogens that have, unfortunately, become essential parts of modern life. The present paper attempts to investigate the proximization strategy through which scientists construct carcinogen risk to enhance people’s preventive actions against these carcinogens. The paper targets the construction which depends on producing the conflict between the values of the people themselves and the contrasting values assigned to carcinogens. To achieve this aim, Cap’s (2

Urinary stones are one of the most common painful disorders of the urinary system. Four new technologies have transformed the treatment of urinary stones: Electrohydraulic lithotripsy, ultrasonic lithotripsy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and laser lithotripsy.The purpose of this study is to determine whether pulsed holmium laser energy is an effective method for fragmenting urinary tract stones in vitro, and to determine whether stone composition affects the efficacy of holmium laser lithotripsy. Human urinary stones of known composition with different sizes, shapes and colors were used for this study. The weight and the size of each stone were measured. The surgical laser system which used in our study is Ho:YAG laser(2100nm)

The precise estimation of the construction cost affect on the success and quality of a construction project. Elemental estimation is considered a very important stage to the project team because it represents one of the key project elements. It helps in formulating the basis to strategies and execution plans for construction and engineering. Elemental estimation, which in the early stage, estimates the construction costs depending on . minimum details of the project so that it gives an indication for the initial design stage of a project. This paper studies the factors that affect the elemental cost estimation as well as the rela

Municipal wastewater sources are becoming increasingly important for reuse, for irrigation purposes, so they must be treated to meet environmentally friendly local or global standards. The aim of this study is to establish, calibrate, and validate a model for predicting chemical oxygen demand for the pilot plant of mobile biofilm reactors operating from municipal wastewater in Maaymyrh located in Hilla city Using the approach of dimensional analysis. The approach of Buckingham's theorem was used to derive a model of dimensional analysis design for the forecast of (COD) in the pilot plant. The effluent concentration (COD) It has been derived as a result of the influential concentration of (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), volume of pilot plant

This study is intended to examine the concept of transcultural identity in the travel book The Global Soul: Jet Lag, Shopping Malls, and the Search for Home by (Iyer, 2001). Jeffries’ model of critical stylistics (2010) (henceforth, CS) has been selected to analyze the book. To be more specific, Negation is selected to analyze the concept under study. As such, the study aims at finding out how Negation is used to portray ideological meanings representing the concept of transcultural identity in one non-fictional travel book; and finding out the ideologies related to the concept analyzed. The analysis of the data shows that Negation is a suitable analytical tool to reach the ideational meaning of the text towards the concept of tra
