text: Heavy funk from the Soviet scene – rare grooves from the dark side of the Iron Curtain – mostly recorded during the 70s in a wave of surprisingly overlooked sounds! There's some great work here from Poland, The Czech Republic, and Hungary – all scenes that really did a great job of picking up the best electric influences of the Western scene of the time, and turning them towards their own ends in creative, regional ways! The artist and song names are filled with consonants, and virtually unpronounceable to those not in the know – but the music's got a universal appeal that's mighty nice – heavy bits of funk, soul, jazz, and fusion that bubble strongly, and really percolate some massive grooves. And even though we know some of this music from other reissues, there's plenty here we've never heard before – especially given that the collection has a strong focus on soul and club-based modes – which is a change from some of the jazzier compilations of this nature. Titles include "Gorila" by Misa Blam, "Sluchaj Rytmu" by Breakout, "Powrot" by Andrzej Dabrowski, "Definitivni Konec" by The Rebels, "Ko Vjecnu Tugu Nosi" by Pro Arte, "Nehez Fiuk" by Neoton, "Disco King" by Centrum, "Agent 008" by Zesp, and "Za Gora Gor" by Grazyna Lobaszewska & Ergo Band. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.

If Your Hotel Ranks Top on TripAdvisor, Are You Not Charging Enough?By Daniel Edward Craig This question has come up several times in recent conversations, and I find it so intriguing I thought I'd investigate. At its root is a rather mercenary idea: if guests are that thrilled with your property, maybe you're giving away too much? The theory is comparable to a tenet of revenue management, which basically says that rather than run at high occupancy a hotel may be more profitable if it jacks up rates and takes a hit in occupancy, striking the ideal balance. Does the same apply to reviews and rankings? All those ultra-luxury, branded hotels being upstaged on TripAdvisorTM by upscale boutiques, are they beside themselves with indignation-or happily sacrificing a few notches in rankings in exchange for a higher average rate? There are also operating costs to consider. To maintain top rankings you must please a broad spectrum of travelers and, particularly in highly competitive markets, be virtually flawless in execution. For some properties that means not only giving away a lot-free wi-fi, breakfast, beverages, phone calls, first-borns-but giving in a lot to avoid even one bad review. Question is, by not obsessing over reviews, as so many hoteliers do, and simply focusing on running a great hotel, could you charge more, save costs, and drive higher revenue and profit? Or is the demand generated by being on top so strong all the obsessing is justified? Curious, I conducted a random poll of hoteliers and industry experts, representing everything from independent motels to luxury brands. I asked them, "If a hotel ranks within the top three on TripAdvisor's Popularity Index, is it not charging enough?" Here's a condensed version of some of the responses I received. For the full list visit www.reknown.com/blog. "No, believe me, since that's where our properties live, you can be in the top three at any price point. If your booking pace is too fast, then that's how you know your rates are too low. You can charge more if you are in the top three than you would for the same hotel if your service was a mess or even average, since you are delivering a great experience, a great value and not just a bed and a bath. If people say it was a splurge but totally worth it, then you are in the sweet spot." - Adele Gutman, VP Sales, Marketing and Revenue, Library Hotel Collection, occupying four of the six top rankings of 431 hotels in New York, NY "Not necessarily. We see many of our hotels in the top 3 as well as some economy hotels in the top 3 depending on the market ... I know our hotel partners who are on property absolutely want to rank as high as they can since they see this as a result of providing great service. Many times they are frustrated to see lower rate properties (with higher turnover) rank higher because they know the service is so much different ... I think we see ranking as more of a service result than a rate result. We have a high rate but also feel we provide a high level of service for it, so we hope the review scores reflect that." - Andrew Gillespie, Assistant Director, Reservations Operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Toronto, ON "First, we have to recognize that we are in business to make money. There is no other reason for our existence. With that being said, there is a direct correlation between price, product and expectation. The less you charge the less expected of you. If guests are too happy, then you're probably not charging enough for your rooms." - Steve Busch, Partner, Jefferson Clinton Hotel, ranked #2 of 28 hotels in Syracuse, NY "Reviews are based on experience, not rate. There's no correlation between price and guest rating. We are officially a three-star property, and we're beating competitors who are four-star and five-star. I'm getting both: rate and volume." - Stephen Peters, Resort Director, Pacific Sands Resort, ranked #2 of 16 hotels in Tofino, BC "Hotel pricing is very complex and impacted by numerous factors. A cursory glance at the top hotels in London for popularity indicates that price is a major factor in the hotel gaining this rank. Whilst ranking is a consumer consideration it would be a very brave and naive hotelier who used ranking as a rationale for a price premium. The vast majority of my business is corporate and I have NEVER heard a buyer mention TripAdvisor in an RFP or other negotiations or major travel agents. So it does not matter as much as TripAdvisor would like hoteliers to think." - Ciaran Fahy, Managing Director, The Cavendish Hotel, ranked #62 of 1,087 hotels in London, UK "I don't think that price is an issue, but rather perceived value for money. In other words, people will happily pay a high rate if they believe that the service/accommodation/etc warrants it. The top 3 hotels on TripAdvisor are not always the cheapest, just those offering the best value for money, according to the reviewers." - Barbara Pezzi, Director Analytics & Search Optimization, Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, London, UK "Not necessarily. The reason it is in the top 3 (a very difficult feat no matter what destination) is because it is providing an excellent experience and a good value for money. Being in the top 3 should help drive more revenue through higher occupancy. Getting greedy could knock a hotel out of the top 3 by decreasing 'perceived value.' It is very competitive out there now as hotels develop their own TripAdvisor strategies." - Madigan Pratt, President, MP&A, digital marketing and advertising agency, Richmond, VA "TripAdvisor's Travellers Choice Award, I believe, has such power that we are slightly undercharging in order to strengthen our ability to win it each year. The recognition we have received over the past four years has allowed us to cement a strong repeat clientele. Granted, as expectations rise due to our reviews it will become more difficult to maintain this award level. But the feeling is by that time we will be less reliant on our TripAdvisor surfers and more loyal to our repeat guests." - George Freitag, Owner, Elizabeth Lake Lodge, ranked #1 of 26 hotels in Cranbrook, BC "We have had cases where our client hotels have been charging a premium, based on their TripAdvisor ranking. The problem with turning this into an industry-wide recommendation is as follows: Over 60% of hotel customer reviews now are done on websites outside of TripAdvisor: OTAs, major hotel brands, Google+ Local, etc. Example: many Manhattan hotels popular with Europeans have twice as many customer reviews on Booking.com than on TripAdvisor. In this sense hoteliers must be very careful a) to maintain high review rankings across the distribution spectrum, and b) not to price themselves out of the market." - Max Starkov, President & CEO, HeBS, hotel digital marketing consultancy, New York, NY So the consensus is ... there's no consensus. But clearly, at least among the top-ranked hotels I polled, the majority feels that the benefits far outweigh any costs. Copyright © 2012 Daniel Edward Craig.

I used to hate public speaking. Yes, HATE it. You know that statistic that says people fear speaking in public more than death? That's was me. Sweating, forgetting what I'm going to say, dizziness, anxiety; the list went
on and on. I looked for years for a remedy to my problem and found nothing that worked ... until I found this program. After going through your public speaking course, using your tips and of course, using your incredible
pre-written speeches, I'm 100, if not 1000 times more confident when in front of people.
I've gone from public paralysis to social sportsman. My position in the community, my social life and especially my income, all have your program to thank.
Scott Trimble
Thank you. I did use the tips, and I also utilized your example speech on receiving an award. It
was very helpful. Both helped me put together and deliver a speech yesterday as I received the Governor's Award for Excellence in Women's Enterprise from
Gov. Bob Taft of Ohio.
Thanks Again,
Ellie C.
Cleveland, Ohio
I just want to thank you for supporting me at the most nervous moment in my life (one of them anyway). Everything went well, I received so many compliments on my speech.
Thank you for making it look easy.

Tanya and I have been happily married for two weeks (not long but one step at a time) and the MC at our wedding said directly after my speech, that it was about a thousand times better than the one at my engagement. Thanks for the inspiration to make the speeches at our wedding a pleasant experience. Thanks again.
Andrew W.
Queensland, Australia
Thank you so very much. Your service has exceeded my expectations.
Rose W.

Unbelievably I followed the University President! Nothing on the internet prepares you for that situation.

NP Rank:
Why do we allow the anti-sex police, to control our lives?
In a suburb of Cinncinnati, Ohio, the exotic/strip club Deja Vu was closed down, after a plea agreement through prosecutors that criminal charges won't be further pursued against the club owners or the dancers of the club. What a waste of money. According to the article this is what happen happened: "Dozens of misdemeanor charges had been filed against the club's dancers and managers, alleging that dancers performed nude after midnight, were in contact with each other or with customers -- all of which would violate Ohio law."
The harm of consensual contact between dancers and patrons, or between dancers themselves, is what exactly? None. The law unfortunately in much of America is built to reflect biblical values, which are simply, anti-sex. At one time the law imprisoned gay men for consensual sex. At one time the law banned not only birth control but banned through the mail, pro-birth control material.
Our complete banning (except for most counties in Nevada) of prostitution pushes it underground where rates of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancies are much higher among sex workers. The fact is banning something, be it sex work or drugs or during Prohibition, even beer and wine, creates a blackmarket. The blackmarket, being unregulated, is always worse than the regulation.
Simply, if someone didn't want to go to this club, than don't go there. For those on the religious right to use the power of the government to close it down because they don't like it, would be like an atheist or a gay man, using government to close down a fundamentalist church. But in that case, they wouldn't do any such thing. They respect freedom of choice, too much. Cases like this scream out for jury nullification.

The Duskfall
I have been spoiled lately with all this upper-crust, melodic death metal that's come across my desk in the past couple of weeks. First was the excellent Burden of Grief album, then came the equally solid, memorable release by God Forbid, and now comes the sophomore work from The Duskfall, entitled Source. Still on the table for dissection is the new release by Fragments of Unbecoming as well as the DVD from the great Dark Tranquillity. It's a little early to tell if this signals resurgence for the style, but this string of solid releases certainly isn't a bad thing. But back to the band at hand… With strong melodic death acts popping up all over the globe, one country seemed to be conspicuously lacking in new talent, and that would be the place that spawned it all – Sweden.
The Duskfall signify that Sweden still has something left to combat the onslaught of talented Finnish and German acts. They strike a balance between the two main schools of Swedish melodeath: the aggressive, thrashy ways of At the Gates, and the sugary melodies of late-90's In Flames. In doing so, they force a comparison to bands like Callenish Circle and Nightrage. The trademark dueling harmonies are ever-present, but they vie for position with scathing power-chord rhythms and vicious ATG-styled riffs. Kai Jaakkola's vocals are a hoarse shout, a little like Tomas Lindberg, and a little like how "Speed" Strid sounded on the earliest Soilwork albums. The band was created in the wake of Gates of Ishtar's demise.
Source features a scant eight tracks, clocking in at a brief 33 minutes of so. The happy ways of "Striving to Have Nothing" could have come straight off of Clayman, if Anders could bellow like a beast. The title track is a pure Gothenburg tune, with a steady, driving beat, and great leads. "Guidance" belies a Gardenian influence, with its upbeat chorus section and fast but non-threatening riffage. This is a strong track but showcases one of the few flaws I find with this band. The vocals are just overused. Kai screams, and then backs up his screams with more screams. I'd like to hear the very capable music just a little more. "Guidance" is then followed up by the vicious thrasher "Lead Astray".
Ultimately, Source is an album that doesn't attempt to break any ground, but instead, does a damn fine job of treading familiar territory. While it's too short, to their credit, there isn't any filler in sight. Fans of their previous effort, 2002's Frailty will definitely dig this new one, as the blueprint has hardly changed, moving ever-so-slightly in a more melodic direction. Why mess with success? For those that are not yet burnt out on Swedish melodic death, The Duskfall comes highly recommended.

Here is a remarkable collection of essays on the ideologies and power struggles that inform the effort to Europeanize private law. In addition to a manifesto emphasising the role of social and distributive justice, nine articles by prominent European academic jurists offer analytic perspectives that take account of such significant factors as the following:
With its broad scope and depth of insight, this deeply informed and far-seeing collection makes a powerful contribution to the debate. It should not be overlooked by any student, scholar, or practitioner concerned with the nature of private law in Europe.
These essays were originally written as papers presented at a conference held in Amsterdam in January 2005

Social Rights in the Construction of the Civil Code IV. Conclusion Chapter 5 Cultural Diversity and the Idea of a European Civil Code Ruth Sefton-Green I. Introduction II. Is the Idea of a European Civil Code Desirable or Possible or Does the Presence of Cultural Diversity in Europe Offer Another Solution? III.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Overall Experience: Brown Mackie instructor's really are interested in you accomplishing goal and having success in each class.
B A+F Overall Experience: It has been a good experience. I know if I ever need anything, someone is always willing to assist me, inside or outside of the classroom.
B A+F Facilities: I hold a 3.78 GPA as for being in my fourth month! I love only having to take one course at a time. There are no scheduling conflicts with studying for multiple classes. Being a night student, I don't care for getting home late, but so far it has been worth it. I miss my kids while I'm in school, but I know BMC will get me my degree on time so I don't miss my time with them later.
A A+F Facilities: it's a nice, clean school
A A+F Student Body: some people can be rude. but that's just life.
A A+F Overall Experience: it's been a fantastic experience so far!
A A+F Academic Flexibility: i love only going twice a week!
C A+F Academic Experience: they only offer a few majors.
Online Courses: i dont take online courses
A+ A+F Academic Experience: I think the professors are very accessible to the students. Our classes are small and we have their phone #s and email addresses and they seem very helpful.
A+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I have attended other schools in the past and I have to say that the financial aide part was the best experience 1 I have ever had concerning tuition. They made it painless by explaining things in detail and walking you through step by step
A+ A+F Campus Resources: 1 course a month! Its the only college I know that does this and I think its great
A+ A+F Academic Experience: Its great to be a Medical Assistant major at Brown Mackie we only take 1 course a month an even though that seems fast, its good because it enables you to work a full time job and attend school full time which is great I love it. I can't wait to get in my actual labs to learn skills like drawing blood, giving shots and etc. I will also have a chance to showcase my skills when I attend my externship program and hopefully will be offered a job at my externship site.
B- A+F Campus Resources: All we have is a library and a very small break room. Not much to offer. But in the schools defense we only take 1 course a month so other than eating lunch or having a snack during classes 10 to 15 minute breaks we don't need much space.
A- A+F Campus Resources: The computer labs are great, everything is great but it is difficult to print in the classroom labs (hence the A-) All computers in that room should be automatically connected to that printer and they are not . You have to tell the computer to use that printer.
A+ A+F Online Courses: I only know what others have told me about my school. They say the online classes are great and you have feed back from the teachers when ever you need it.
A+ A+F Career Services: Even before you finish your degree, there are staff that help you put together your resume and help with job prospects. The career choices are the best I've seen. You are certainly not a number to the staff at Brown Mackie.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: The concept of Brown Mackie is one course at a time. This is great in many ways. The student is able to fully concentrate on the subject they have and not have to juggle two or three other classes at the same time. The staff is always there for the student. The Dean has an open door policy as well as the President of the school. The student is able to see what their chosen field is going to be like when they do their lab work outside of the school.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: The computer lab next to the library is always open to students. The wifi is accessible and top speed. Every computer lab has its own printer which is a great, so when you print you don't have to look for your paper.
A A+F Campus Resources: The library is fully staffed and has a great selection of material. There are several activities with different clubs. The atmosphere of the school is that of always being there for the students. The computer labs are awesome. All the medical labs are updated and very much like those the student will eventually work at.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: Taking 1 course a month is awesome!
B+ A+F Student Body: We are all are working class people or single mothers.
A+ A+F Academic Flexibility: That's the best thing about it 1 course a month!!
A+ A+F Academic Experience: This might sound far fetch, but there's nothing I would change this has been the best experience in my life and I'm glad I went through Brown Mackie.
B A+F Academic Experience: I'm a criminal justice major and will graduate February 2013. I'm glad to say Brown Mackie takes a lot of pride making sure your major will benefit every class you take, which I love because my main focus is only criminal justice and I've learned so much.

I've noticed that many of the forum discussions that TA has tweeted lately have contained glaring grammatical and spelling errors. I find this disappointing and even personally embarrassing as it inevitably reflects not only on the original poster but on the forum as a whole and, by extension, the larger atheist community. I know written communication isn't everything, and it certainly isn't a high priority among the public generally, but we should try to meet a higher standard. Given the unlikelihood that individual posters will suddenly take more care when writing, I think the operators of the site's Twitter feed should consider not tweeting discussion titles with serious errors.
That's one poster's opinion, for whatever it's worth.
Okay, but to put a 140 character limit on an expression or you don't know what you are talking about is too arbitrary.
That would be too arbitrary, yes. The general point to take away from this long digression is that you should be able to express yourself very concisely. Good units to aim for could be short paragraphs, sentences, or even Tweets.
I dunno, this is rather brief --
Twitter updates on site activity may very well be automated. If you want to make a serious suggestion regarding the twitter feed, I suggest using the feedback form located here: http://www.thinkatheist.com/main/index/feedback
Thanks, I'll do that right now.
Amen! (Should I spell-check that?)
I submitted a suggestion to TA about editing tweets and quickly received a response from the site's administrators. They informed me that content from TA is automatically tweeted, so there is no way to intercept tweets and edit them. They also expressed agreement in principle with the idea and stated that they, too, find such errors embarrassing.
I feel better. :)
Tell me - I'm really not up on the terminology - are those who frequent Twitter known as Twits?
Honestly I don't really know. Why do you ask?
Oh, I don't know, being basically called a windbag, and far, FAR worse than that, being lumped into the same category as Unseen, I felt I was entitled to a bit of innocent repartee.
Dear God, Save us from the grammar police!

Welcome to Walkertown High School Booster Club!
As you can imagine we are excited to have our "Pack" back in town! The campus is not only beautiful but it is a state of the art facility. If you have not been by to see this masterpiece we would encourage you to do so. We promise you will not be disappointed.
As your your Booster Club, our mission is to enrich, improve, develop, and support all athletic activities at Walkertown High School.
To accomplish this we will need your support. Many would assume as a new school the district would supply everything that is needed for our sports teams, that would be incorrect. As a district, their responsibility is to provide the essentials for which each school builds upon. For example, they provided us with beautiful grounds however the school is responsible for the maintenance; mowing, fertilizing, seeding, etc. Our Athletic Director, Tim Hagmann, can be seen on many days mowing and grooming the fields.
We have been approved for a loan from the district that will help to purchase and improve many key items for the athletic department. Our immediate needs consist of a rotary mower and paint machine. Our near future needs include irrigation and dugouts for the baseball field.
How Can You Help?
Become a member. Your investment of $25.00 will help us to not only support the teams we have but will help support future team sports.
Come out and enjoy an afternoon or evening of sports fun! Watch a football, baseball, or softball game with the beautiful blue sky of Walkertown overhead. Or come inside for a basketball game where you can also get a glimpse of our beautiful building.
Come HUNGRY! All proceeds from the concession stand stay at WHS. We have great food items and hope to add more for the 2012-2013 season.
Participate in our fundraisers. Through out the year we will have events to raise money for our student athletes. Some may be for individual sports and some may be for the good of all. We currently are running a shoe drive. Our group will receive 20 cents per pound for all shoes turned in during the drive. Our goal is 15000 pair which will net us approximately $3000.00!

Slowing America's Oil Decline DOE Selects 1st Projects in Effort to Provide Oil Operators With "Best Practices" for Managing Their Fields |
TULSA, OK - America's best chance for slowing the decline of its domestic oil fields will likely be a combination of "best practices" - improved technologies, better data, streamlined regulations, etc. - applied by the thousands of small producers that now make up the core of the nation's oil industry. The U.S. Department of Energy today took a key first step in a concentrated, 5-year effort to identify and disseminate these "best practices." The department's National Petroleum Technology Office in Tulsa, OK, selected the first six projects in its PUMP program - a new oil technology transfer initiative that stands for Preferred Upstream Management Practices. Run as a national competition, PUMP will share the costs of industry-proposed projects that identify technologies that can be deployed rapidly and inexpensively to endangered U.S. oil fields. As the improved techniques are put to use, results will be widely reported to other domestic producers. The goal is to show how an integrated set of solutions can improve oil field economics, prolong the productive life of many of the nation's marginal reservoirs, and slow the rate of well abandonments in the United States. The selected projects are:
[Funding amounts for these projects are preliminary and subject to negotiation.] The department plans further PUMP competitions, with the next call for proposals due to be issued in the next few weeks. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Area of Interest 1 -- PUMP Identification and Demonstration Gas Technology Institute (GTI), Chicago, IL, Development of a Virtual Intelligence Technique for the Upstream Oil Industry -- GTI researchers, teaming with specialists from West Virginia University, Intelligent Solutions Inc., and TechnoMatrix Inc., will develop computer-assisted methods for identifying and optimizing preferred management practices in upstream oil production operations, based on "soft" computing technology -- neural networks, genetic algorithms, and fuzzy logic. GTI will develop a Virtual Intelligence Technique that will enable operators to optimize current practices. The goal of the project is to increase oil production by an average of 15% over a period of five years at a cost that will be equal to or lower than that of common practices. The reduction in production cost will be achieved by producing oil that is not commercially producible under common practices. The Virtual Intelligence Technique will be developed in Oklahoma, working in cooperation with Oklahoma producers, and will be demonstrated in two field projects. Results from the tests will be compared against common practice baselines prepared in cooperation with the participating industry members. Oklahoma is currently producing 181,000 barrels of oil per day. The projected increase in Oklahoma alone is more than 27,000 barrels per day. Deliverables from the project will be two user-friendly software packages - a characterization tool that identifies the most economically influential parameters in the upstream operations, and an optimization tool that seeks optimization by changing a number of influential parameters and investigating the coupled effects of these variations. The primary intended users of the "intelligence engine" are independent petroleum producers, and the software packages are designed so that the inner workings will be transparent to the user and will not require special training to apply them to the operations of the oil field. GTI will make project results publicly available on the Internet and in written and electronic reports, and will also provide extensive technology transfer through publications, workshops, and presentations at technical meetings. The Department of Energy will provide estimated federal funding of $577,000, and GTI will contribute $620,000 in cost sharing for the 24-month effort. The project technical contact is Brian Gahan at 773-399-5481. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Area of Interest 1 -- PUMP Identification and Demonstration The Texas Engineering Experiment Station, at Texas A&M, College Station, TX, Preferred Waterflood Management Practices for the Spraberry Trend Area - The Texas A&M researchers will work with a team from Pioneer Natural Resources to significantly and quickly increase field-wide production in the Spraberry Trend by application of preferred practices for managing and optimizing water injection. The economic benefit of waterflooding in this naturally fractured unit has been the subject of speculation for nearly five decades, but the researchers seek to demonstrate that the benefits do exist. The project goal is to dispel negative attitudes and lack of confidence in water injection and document the methodology and results of the project for public dissemination to motivate waterflood expansion in the Spraberry Trend. A secondary objective is the purification and injection of produced waters to minimize downhole casing failure from the corrosive effect of the waters from the San Andres formation. The project will begin with data gathering from the Shackleford Unit in order to perform simulation and forecasting of waterflood performance. Texas A&M will store and analyze old and newly acquired data and enter the collection into a database using software donated by Landmark Graphics. Tracer tests will be run on four injection patterns, two with new wells and two with conversion wells, and the water movement simulated to update and refine pattern alignment and help determine the well density required for maximum waterflood sweep efficiency. After initiation of water injection, oil, water and gas production will be carefully monitored in wells along the perimeter of the area expected to respond in the Shackleford Unit. Areas of response will be defined and individual pattern injection rates adjusted based on the response of the perimeter wells. Preferred management practices will be developed based on all prior work and response measured during the project demonstration. All tracer and production data will used to modify the simulation for a more accurate representation of the fluid movement, and simulation techniques needed to manage water injection in the Spraberry Trend area will be assessed. The results from the project will be transferred to industry at a workshop in Midland, TX, which is targeted for 150 operators of Spraberry wells. A web site containing the details of the preferred management practices will be available to the workshop attendees. The Department of Energy will provide federal funding of $500,000 to the 24-month project, and Texas A&M will contribute $1.5 million in cost sharing. The project technical contact is David Schechter at 979-845-2275. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Area of Interest 1 -- PUMP Identification and Demonstration The Texas Engineering Experiment Station, at Texas A&M, College Station, TX, Cavity-Like Completions in Weak Sands - Texas A&M researchers will work with the Global Petroleum Research Institute to demonstrate a new oil production technique for wells completed in weak sands - deliberate production of sand from a reservoir, forming a cavity-like completion zone. The technique will be demonstrated in the Long Beach Unit of the Wilmington Field in Long Beach, CA. The technology is incorporated into a unified model of cavity-like completion that can be used to design other advanced completions in the Wilmington Field, where the technology may recover an additional 4.7 million barrels of oil. Being applicable to both onshore and offshore areas, it is also applicable to additional reservoirs in California and in other regions of the U.S. This project offers new reservoir operating practices for the exploitation of unconsolidated or poorly consolidated reservoirs, and has the potential to be a "new-generation" stimulation methodology. It also has relevance to other technically driven business issues, including mitigating/controlling/exploiting sand production, increasing injectivity for produced water reinjection, and underbalanced drilling/perforating applications. The Wilmington Field, Long Beach Unit operator, THUMS Long Beach Company, and the program sponsors (BP, Phillips, Schlumberger, Texaco and TotalFina Elf) will contribute $130,000 (70% cash, 30% in kind services) to the 12-month project, and the Department of Energy will provide $130,000 in federal funding. The project technical contact is D. Burnett at 970-845-2274. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Area of Interest 1 -- PUMP Identification and Demonstration The University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., Lawrence, KS, Field Demonstrations of Horizontal Infill Drilling Using Cost-Effective Integrated Reservoir Modeling -- Mississippian Carbonates, Central Kansas -- The University of Kansas researchers, working with the University's Tertiary Oil Recovery Project, the Kansas Geological Survey, Mull Drilling Company, Inc., and Maurer Engineering, Inc., will combine integrated reservoir modeling with horizontal infill drilling to increase production efficiency in Central Kansas Mississippian carbonate reservoirs. These reservoirs currently provide nearly 43% of Kansas annual production, but they are generally operated by small independents with limited resources for research and development, and the low average recovery factors of 13 to 15% are resulting in high abandonment rates, threatening a potential five-billion barrel loss of reserves. Fractured and compartmentalized reservoirs with limited drainage radius for vertical wells and high water cuts from an aquifer in contact with the wellbores through fractures sharply decrease the efficiency of waterflooding. However, studies have shown that the reservoirs are suitable for horizontal drilling. This project will demonstrate a number of preferred management practices with emphasis on the use of horizontal wells. Other practices to be investigated include inexpensive screening of recovery assets, integrated characterization of sites, fracture modeling from core and log data, PC-based modeling and simulation, and post-drilling monitoring to optimize well production. The University anticipates that demonstrating these preferred management practices to select, characterize, model, design, and drill a successful horizontal infill well in the Mississippian reservoir will develop a learning curve and build confidence among independent operators of the mid-continent to use cost-effective horizontal infill applications and modeling techniques in these mature reservoirs. The technologies will be transferred to operators through Internet access, and through publications, seminars, workshops, presentations at technical meetings, and one-on-one meetings with operators. The Department of Energy will provide estimated federal funding of $406,000 for the 24-month project, with cost sharing of $407,000 from the University of Kansas. The project technical contact is Saibal Bhattacharya at 785-84-2058. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Area of Interest 2 - Regional Groups or Councils The Petroleum Technology Transfer Council (PTTC), Houston, TX, Mentor-Based Effort to Advance Implementation of Preferred Management Practices (PMPs) for Oil Producers -- The PTTC will organize a team of mentors working with two of the organization's Regional Lead Organizations to increase oil production, moderate or reverse production declines, and extend the life of marginal wells in the near term. The Regional Lead Organizations (RLO) -- the South Midcontinent RLO in Norman, OK, and the West Coast RLO in Los Angeles, CA -- encompass areas with significant oil resources where production is constrained. To accomplish these goals the PTTC team will refine understanding of production constraints, search globally for integrated solutions that can serve as preferred management practices and guide small producers on cost-reduction measures to provide the economic margin for implementing the solutions. Well-known mentors, respected in their regions, will network with industry companies, associations and regulatory groups to identify and prioritize constraints. The mentors and topical working groups will review the solution options, with the producers determining the solutions that best fit their economic conditions, and will help producers develop the confidence to implement the new processes. The resulting information will be packaged for aggressive technology transfer through personal contact, one-on-one or small group meetings, workshops, newsletters, and especially over the Internet, using an interactive information system at the two RLO websites. The system will allow producers to search not only the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council archives but also the global Internet. The Petroleum Technology Transfer Council estimates that applying the identified preferred management practices could increase oil production by as much as 100,000 barrels of oil per day in the target areas. The Energy Department will provide federal funding of $500,000 for the 24-month project, and the PTTC will contribute $504,000 in cost sharing. The project technical contact is Donald Duttlinger at 713-688-0900. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Area of Interest 2 - Regional Groups or Councils West Virginia University Research Corporation, Morgantown, WV, Enhancing Reservoir Management in the Appalachian Basin by Identifying Technical Barriers and Preferred Practices -- Under the sponsorship of the Appalachian Oil and Natural Gas Research Consortium (AONGRC), the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department at the West Virginia University will pursue three objectives: (1) Preferred management practices currently in use in the region, or that can be transferred from other regions, will be identified through workshops, interviews with engineers and geologists, and a literature search. (2) An Appalachian Region Preferred Management Practices Council will be created to provide information directly on problems faced by industry within the region. The Council will include members of the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council's Appalachian Regional Producer Advisory Group, other oil industry representatives, and state geologists on the AONGRC Advisory Board. (3) An interactive web site listing preferred management practices for the region, as well as supporting data and relevant information on the oil reservoirs in the Appalachian region, will be an integral part of the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council web site to ensure continued existence beyond the period of the project, and will be accessible from the sites of the principal Geological Surveys of the region. The site will incorporate data from existing databases such as DOE's Total Oil Recovery Information System, and links to related data at other web sites. Under this project, the degree to which application of identified best practices has enhanced production or reduced costs in specific fields will be documented. By extrapolating results to other fields in the region, it is possible to estimate the degree to which applying new technology can effect important advancement toward achieving the PUMP objectives. The Department of Energy will provide estimated federal funding of $362,000 to the 24-month project, and the West Virginia University Research Corporation will contribute $362,000 in cost sharing. The project technical contact is Douglas G. Patchen at 304-293-2867 ext 5443. - End of Project Descriptions - |
