Reservoir Characterization of Upper Devonian Gordon Sandstone, Jacksonburg, Stringtown Oil Field, Northwestern West Virginia

This report gives results on use of a minipermeameter on cores to study very finescale trends in permeability, and use of neural networks to predict permeability in logged, uncored wells

Examples from the atlas of major Appalachian Gas Plays

The objectives of this contract are to produce a panted atlas of major Appalachian basin gas plays and to compile a machine-readable database of reservoir data. The Appalachian Oil and Natural Gas Research Consortium (AONGRC or the Consortium), a partnership of the state geological surveys in Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, and the departments of Geology and Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering at West Virginia University (WVU), agrees with the need to classify gas reservoirs by geologic plays. During meetings with industry representatives, the small independents in the basin emphasized that one of their prime needs was to place each producing reservoir within a stratigraphic framework subdivided by environment of deposition to enable them to develop exploration and development strategies. The text for eight of the 31 play descriptions has been completed, drafting of illustrations for these plays is underway (or complete for some plays), and the review process is ongoing

Atlas of major Appalachian basin gas plays

This regional study of gas reservoirs in the Appalachian basin has four main objectives: to organize all of the -as reservoirs in the Appalachian basin into unique plays based on common age, lithology, trap type and other geologic similarities; to write, illustrate and publish an atlas of major gas plays; to prepare and submit a digital data base of geologic, engineering and reservoir parameters for each gas field; and technology transfer to the oil and gas industry during the preparation of the atlas and data base

Factors A Effecting Students Academic Achievement in the Alborz Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine in 2012-2013

Back ground: Academic achievement is influenced by several factors. these factors would seem to be necessary to achievement process and objectives. This study assessment factors affecting students academic achievement in the Alborz medical sciences School of Allied Medical Sciences in 2013-2014. Methods: This study is a cross- sectional analysis. 188 students participated with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The researcher made questionnaire and (GHQ-28) was used. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS-16 software. Chi Square, Fisher ,Exact Independent t-tests and ANOVA, analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the data. Result: Of the 188 samples, 71 students were male (37.8%) and 117 females (62.2%), 91 students were studying Anesthesiology (48.4 %)and the others Operating room and 162 students were studying bachelor(86.2%) and the others were undergraduate batch(13.8%). The mean age was 22.45(7.56). The mean grade point average was 17/21(1.28).students were in good health(46.21%), average general health (42.35%) and low health (9.44%).Average score for the mental health of students participating in study were 22.00(10.31). Age, education, economic satisfaction, friends and classmates Cleans Regular attendance in practical courses were reported as the most influential factors. Conclusion: Many factor have influenced on the academic achievement. Detect these factors can help in the improvement of trend of academic purpose

Endoscopic injection of adrenaline for actively bleeding ulcers: a randomised trial

A prospective randomised trial was performed to assess the efficacy of endoscopic injection of adrenaline for actively bleeding ulcers. Emergency endoscopy in 961 patients admitted for upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage identified 68 patients with actively bleeding ulcers. These 68 patients were randomised to receive either endoscopic injection of adrenaline or no endoscopic treatment. After endoscopy both groups were managed in an identical manner, and strict criteria for emergency operation were adhered to in both groups. Bleeding was initially controlled in all 34 patients assigned to the treatment group. Significantly fewer patients in the treatment group than in the control group needed emergency operations (five v 14, respectively). In addition, in the treatment group the median transfusion requirement was significantly less (three v five units of blood) and the median hospital stay shorter (six v eight days). No complications were observed with the injection of adrenaline, and the rate of healing of ulcers in those attending for endoscopy six weeks after discharge was similar in both groups (81% (17 out of 21 patients) in the treatment group v 79% (11 out of 14) in the control group)
