Value of Digitizing Well Interventions and its impact on business and working processes

The oil and gas industry continuously enters a phase with new challenges and new ways of thinking, the rise of a digitalization revolution can be the key answer to creating new opportunities to overcome the industry's challenges. The “new reality’’ of low oil prices, Covid-19 still threatening, and the increased focus on climate and environmental considerations globally, has led to a shift in the mindset of the industry; from an increased-production focus to a cost-efficiency focus while maximizing the productivity, minimizing operating costs and sustain operating flexibility. Accomplishing this new way of working may perhaps require a digital transformation. There has generally been little technology development and digitization in the well intervention sector compared with the drilling sector. Real-time data, onshore support centers, and automation have long been used in the drilling sector. This master thesis introduces an innovative project that is being implemented by ALTUS Intervention. Digital Well Intervention (DWI) is a digital platform that digitizes large parts of today's way of working and how ALTUS Intervention is delivering well intervention services. This master's thesis studies how DWI will affect the work process in ALTUS Intervention. The thesis will provide concrete examples of how DWI improves work processes both internally and externally. The project is still in the planning phase, and thus, concrete proposals are given for the further development of DWI. Furthermore, it is studied how DWI can provide value creation. This is based on several case studies with a similar approach as the DWI platform that has been shown to be a great approach to value creation

Studies of high molecular weight systems by NMR spectroscopy

Proteins are essential components for all living cells. For better understanding of proteins and how they work, it is essential to know their 3D structure as well as how they interact with other molecules and their dynamics. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a versatile technique to study biomolecules, most notably proteins, in solution. NMR provides structural information at atomic resolution and, compared to the other techniques with similar resolution, the measurements can be carried out under near-physiological conditions that are meaningful for the investigation of dynamics. A great number of unnatural amino acids can now be incorporated into proteins both in vivo and by cell-free protein synthesis at genetically encoded positions. Isotopically labelled unnatural amino acids present outstanding probes for site-specific studies of proteins by NMR. In this thesis, the unnatural amino acid 13C-O-tert-butyltyrosine (13C-Tby) was incorporated as an NMR probe to study the proteins IMP-1 and the E. coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB). IMP-1 is a clinically important metallo-beta-lactamase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of almost all beta-lactam antibiotics. In order to develop inhibitors against this enzyme it is important to understand its structure and dynamics. Pseudocontact shifts (PCSs) provide long-range structural information on biological macromolecules. In Chapter 2, PCSs were measured to study the conformation of an active site loop of IMP-1 and its change upon binding of a ligand. This loop is important as it lines the substrate binding site and contributes to substrate specificity. The results suggest that the binding of an inhibitor induces two different conformations in the loop which are in slow equilibrium between each other. E. coli SSB is a homotetramer of molecular mass 76 kDa. It binds single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with high affinity and little sequence specificity in two main binding modes, named (SSB)65 and (SSB)35. Chapter 3 describes studies of ssDNA-SSB complexes at high and low salt concentrations by solution NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, experiments were conducted to determine the binding polarity of ssDNA on SSB. The results obtained are in broad agreement with the unusual binding polarity reported by the crystal structure of a complex between E. coli SSB and a poly-deoxycytidine oligomer. In addition to using the tert-butyl group of a Tby residue as an NMR probe, the present thesis introduced a novel chemical tag containing a trimethylsilyl (TMS) group. Chapter 4 demonstrates the ability of the tert-butyl and TMS groups to deliver site-specific information in high-molecular weight systems without any isotope labelling. The approach was illustrated by measuring intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) in the 95 kDa complex between SSB and ssDNA

Strategic technology alliances, technology transfer and the performance of Malaysian manufacturer

Organizations are realizing the strategic importance of technology alliances to enhance and maintain their competitive advantage. The turbulent business environment compels firms to adopt appropriate technologies for effective and efficient operations. While many firms are inclined to source external technology or form alliances, there are various considerations that can affect the success of such initiatives. This study examines the relationship between factors enabling strategic technology alliances (STAs), technology transfer and organizational performance. Based on three theories namely: Resource-based View (RBV); Organizational Learning Theory (OLT); and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this paper presents a model on the antecedent and outcomes of STA that is analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings depict that absorptive capacity, type of alliances; relative advantage and perceived ease of technology implementation affect the alliance, which in turn determine organizational performance. Further tests show that technology transfer only partially mediates the relationship between STA and organizational performance. This research provides platforms and consideration for the implementation of new technologies and capabilities in manufacturing firms in a developing nation

A Framework for Managing Knowledge and Competencies in a Group Project Implementation

Every organisation realizes that its organisational knowledge which resides in individual brain or stored in organisational processes, products, facilities, systems and documentation is quickly becoming a sustainable competitive advantage. This growing attention has lead to the idea that these resources must be protected, cultivated and shared among its members. As organisation's knowledge is built upon these human resources, and effective way of managing these resources is a challenge. The challenges poses problems such as when knowledge can be lost when people leave the organisation, problem in difficulties to manage tacit knowledge and also in managing the competencies, expertise and capabilities of the organisation. The research has explored and proposed a framework to achieve its objectives, in capturing, and structuring knowledge in acquiring competitiveness edge in an organisation. KEPSNet (Knowledge Extract,Profiling, and Sharing Network), has approached the problems in managing knowledge and competencies based on three key elements of peopleprocess- product, conceptual theory and by prescribing a knowledge model of five layers: knowledge object, agents, knowledge functionalities, knowledge services and knowledge application. KEPSNet provided a practical application of knowledge capture and reuses of relevant know-how, experiences, best practices from a group project implementation. KEPSNet implementation as a Portal provided functionalities, for group project to capture and retain their knowledge in group repository with the use of concept maps, thus providing facilities for retrieving and sharing knowledge, structured and retained in the group knowledge repository. Two software agents introduced in KEPSNet implementation: the Profile Agent and Knowledge Agent has shown that it has adopted an autonomous way of managing knowledge, maintaining competency profile to reflect the level of knowledge of the expertise and to support knowledge sharing during group project implementation. KEPSNet Portal and agents were developed on Domino Lotus Notes, while Cmap Tool was used as the knowledge modeling tool for knowledge capture in this researc

Orienting to probable stimuli increases speed, precision, and kurtosis. A study in perceptual estimation.

Stimulus probabilities affect detection performance. Rare targets, even in security or medical screenings, are missed more often than frequent ones. To minimize such probability-related costs, there is a need to understand how probability effects develop and how they might interact with perceptual processes. A previous experiment demonstrated that estimates of Gabor orientations were more precise on trials where the Gabor location was exogenously cued. Exogenous cues might be biasing perceptual processing towards the features in the cued location, and enhancing the perceptual representations of the target. Here, the same “attentional” effects were replicated without the use of explicit cues. Instead, different location-orientation conjunctions occurred with different probabilities. Across different probability distributions, it was consistently observed that participants rapidly developed faster and more precise estimations for higher-probability tilts. This occurred despite participants not being instructed on the underlying probability distributions, despite participants not being able to indicate confidence differences (Experiment 1b), despite the probability distribution being complex (Experiment 2), and despite probability differences being fine-grained (Experiment 3). High-probability tilts were also consistently associated with a distribution of angular errors that were more kurtotic than for low-probability tilts. Mixture model analyses suggested that these kurtosis differences reflect a mix of ‘precise’ and ‘coarse’ estimations, with high-probability tilts being associated with more of the former. Additionally, near-vertical orientations were associated with an increased kurtosis, particularly when vertical tilts were probable. Similar to mechanisms underlying perceptual biases, these findings suggest that acquired information might be affecting neural sensitivity to result in better-encoded perceptual representations for high-probability tilts

The Iraqi protest movement: from identity politics to issue politics

Beginning in mid-July 2015, one of the largest social protest movements in modern Iraqi history erupted spontaneously in the city of Basra and spread to cities of central and southern Iraq, including the capital Baghdad. This paper examines the principal aspects of this social movement, particularly its political, social and economic underpinnings, its social composition and its growth, and its message and slogans that are mainly directed against political Islam, critiqued as a conduit for corruption. It analyses the impact of the shift from identity to issue-based politics in Iraq – most evident in the 2018 May elections
