Production Potential of Unrecovered Mobile Oil Through Infield Development: Integrated Geologic and Engineering Studies Overview
This report is part of a coordinated series of research efforts designed to prepare
preliminary evaluations of important components of the domestic unrecovered oil resource. The
specific resource of interest is the oil that is displacable by water and remains in the Nation's
reservoirs after conventional production. Integrated geologic, engineering, and economic
evaluations in this series estimate future reserve additions from this unrecovered mobile oil (UMO)
resource under various circumstances. The individual studies (Volumes 2 through 5) consider the
effects of changes in oil prices and advances in production technology on the economic recovery
potential of the UMO resource. This report (Volume 1) discusses and compares the approaches
and results of the individual studies. Several recovery technologies are evaluated, including the use
of waterflooding in conjunction with infill drilling to displace and produce UMO at decreased well
spacings.
The overall analysis series was conducted in two separate, but coordinated, parts: at a
detailed reservoir level and at a generalized regional level. At the reservoir level, detailed analyses
of three individual Texas reservoirs fully delineated the resource and the potential for UMO
recovery in each reservoir under a variety of development situations. Results of the individual
reservoir evaluations were extrapolated to groups of reservoirs with common depositional histories,
collectively known as "plays". At the regional level, reservoirs in three major oil producing states,
Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, were analyzed to determine the resource volume, potential
recovery, and the costs and benefits associated with this recovery both in the individual states and
for the region as a whole. This analysis relied on the geologic classification of individual reservoirs,
specific rock and fluid properties, and production and development histories to quantify the
resource and to assess its potential for UMO recovery potential. Coordination of the studies at
two analytical levels proved advantageous -- the initial methods and results at both levels were
compared in order to calibrate and to modify the final approach at each level and can now be used
as a guide in future analyses. In addition to the specific results from the two analytical levels,
several shorter issue and summary papers have also been prepared.Bureau of Economic Geolog
Phase 2 Outreach Plan: Georgia DOT ITS4US Deployment Project- Safe Trips in a Connected Transportation Network
693JJ32250011The Georgia Department of Transportation ITS4US Deployment project, Safe Trips in a Connected Transportation Network (ST-CTN), is leveraging innovative solutions, existing deployments, and collaboration to make a positive impact using transportation technology to support safety, mobility, sustainability, and accessibility. The ST-CTN concept is comprised of an integrated set of advanced transportation technology solutions (connected vehicle, transit signal priority, machine learning, predictive analytics) to support safe and complete trips, with a focus on accessibility for those with disabilities, older adults, and those with limited English proficiency. This document serves as the Outreach Plan for the deployment project. The Outreach Plan consists of the public relations and media strategy for communicating information about the project. It also defines the Outreach Site Lead for coordinating requests and the Site Outreach Spokesperson who will speak for the project. The Outreach activities described in this plan will be consistent with the Complete Trip Integration Plan being prepared for this project

Report to Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency: Public Law 109-431: Appendices
This report is the appendices to a companion report, prepared in response to the request from Congress stated in Public Law 109-431 (H.R. 5646),"An Act to Study and Promote the Use of Energy Efficient Computer Servers in the United States." This report assesses current trends in energy use and energy costs of data centers and servers in the U.S. (especially Federal government facilities) and outlines existing and emerging opportunities for improved energy efficiency. It also makes recommendations for pursuing these energy-efficiency opportunities broadly across the country through the use of information and incentive-based programs

Standardizing and Scaling up Quality Adolescent Friendly Health Services in Tanzania.
Adolescents in Tanzania require health services that respond to their sexual and reproductive health - and other - needs and are delivered in a friendly and nonjudgemental manner. Systematizing and expanding the reach of quality adolescent friendly health service provision is part of the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare's (MOHSW) multi-component strategy to promote and safeguard the health of adolescents. We set out to identify the progress made by the MOHSW in achieving the objective it had set in its National Adolescent Health and Development Strategy: 2002-2006, to systematize and extend the reach of Adolescent Friendly Health Services (AFHS) in the country. We reviewed plans and reports from the MOHSW and journal articles on AFHS. This was supplemented with several of the authors' experiences of working to make health services in Tanzania adolescent friendly. The MOHSW identified four key problems with what was being done to make health services adolescent friendly in the country - firstly, it was not fully aware of the various efforts under way; secondly, there was no standardized definition of AFHS; thirdly, it had received reports that the quality of the AFHS being provided by some organizations was poor; and fourthly, only small numbers of adolescents were being reached by the efforts that were under way. The MOHSW responded to these problems by mapping existing services, developing a standardized definition of AFHS, charting out what needed to be done to improve their quality and expand their coverage, and integrating AFHS within wider policy and strategy documents and programmatic measurement instruments. It has also taken important preparatory steps to stimulate and support implementation. The MOHSW is aware that the focus of the effort must now shift from the national to the regional, council and local levels. The onus is on regional and council health management teams as well as health facility managers to take the steps needed to ensure that all adolescents in the country obtain the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services they need, delivered in a friendly and non-judgemental manner. But they cannot do this without substantial and ongoing support

Development of Tools for Assessing Wider Economic Benefits of Transportation
In addition to traditional factors that are commonly measured (travel time, cost and safety), there is growing evidence that the wider economic impacts associated with transportation projects are often driven by changes in reliability, connectivity and accessibility. This study provides four sets of spreadsheet tools for transportation project impact assessment. These four tools enable measurement of project impacts on: (1) travel time reliability; (2) market access; (3) intermodal connectivity; and (4) an accounting system for incorporating the above three metrics into economic benefit and economic impact analyses. The report discusses the context in which these tools are to be used, and presents technical discussion and instructions for each one
