Petroleum Engineering Newsletter Vol PETROLEUM ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER VOL. 19, NO. 1 SEPTEMBER 2015 GREETINGS FROM DR. ERDAL OZKAN PROFESSOR AND DEPARTMENT HEAD Greetings, part of a plan to complement our existing strength in teaching and to emphasize our capabilities in research beyond our The theme of this year’s traditional areas of focus. A look at the CSM FY 2015 statistics newsletter is “The Way may reveal the importance of hiring new faculty. Forward.” We do not use this theme to imply a With 992 students (BS: 889, GR: 103), the PE Department process of transformation; hosts one-sixth of the total student body at CSM, which is we rather use it to slightly behind the ME Department (Table 1). Its student/faculty describe the evolution ratio of 75.3, however, is unmatched (Table 1 and Figure 1) Erdal and his wife, Alev on a tour boat of the Department from by any CSM department. Similar trends are evident across on the Bosphorus, Turkey, as part of the its strong roots and the board: The PE Department graduated the largest group Annual Graduation Function and Seminar traditional strengths to a of BS students in Spring 2015 and has the highest ratios of Program of the Istanbul Technical University, contemporary leader in the degrees granted per faculty in all categories (BS, ME, Petroleum Engineering Department (his petroleum engineering MS, and PhD).

As part of our efforts to keep the CSM PE Department as a leader in its discipline, we have hired four tenure-track faculty and two teaching faculty in the past two years and we are continuing the search for another tenure-track faculty. Dr. Mansur Ermila joined our team as an Associate Teaching Professor in Spring 2015. In Fall 2015, Dr. Jorge Sampaio will join us as an Associate Professor and Elio Dean as Assistant Teaching Professor. They will be followed by Rosmer Brito, who, upon completion of her PhD, will join us as an Assistant Erdal at the December 2014 graduation reception with PE student (Lia) Carelia Professor in Spring 2016. These additions to our faculty are De Jesus Rojas Unamo who graduated with a MS in Petroleum Engineering.

  • Algeria Upstream OG Report.Pub
    ALGERIA UPSTREAM OIL & GAS REPORT Completed by: M. Smith, Sr. Commercial Officer, K. Achab, Sr. Commercial Specialist, and B. Olinger, Research Assistant Introduction Regulatory Environment Current Market Trends Technical Barriers to Trade and More Competitive Landscape Upcoming Events Best Prospects for U.S. Exporters Industry Resources Introduction Oil and gas have long been the backbone of the Algerian economy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, favorable geology, and new opportunities for both conventional and unconventional discovery/production. Unfortunately, the collapse in oil prices beginning in 2014 and the transition to spot market pricing for natural gas over the last three years revealed the weaknesses of this economic model. Because Algeria has not meaningfully diversified its economy since 2014, oil and gas production is even more essential than ever before to the government’s revenue base and political stability. Today’s conjoined global health and economic crises, coupled with persistent declining production levels, have therefore placed Algeria’s oil and gas industry, and the country, at a critical juncture where it requires ample foreign investment and effective technology transfer. One path to the future includes undertaking new oil and gas projects in partnership with international companies (large and small) to revitalize production. The other path, marked by inertia and institutional resistance to change, leads to oil and gas production levels in ten years that will be half of today's production levels. After two decades of autocracy, Algeria’s recent passage of a New Hydrocarbons Law seems to indicate that the country may choose the path of partnership by profoundly changing its tax and investment laws in the hydrocarbons sector to re-attract international oil companies.

  • National Oil Companies: Business Models, Challenges, and Emerging Trends
    Corporate Ownership & Control / Volume 11, Issue 1, 2013, Continued - 8 NATIONAL OIL COMPANIES: BUSINESS MODELS, CHALLENGES, AND EMERGING TRENDS Saud M. Al-Fattah* Abstract This paper provides an assessment and a review of the national oil companies' (NOCs) business models, challenges and opportunities, their strategies and emerging trends. The role of the national oil company (NOC) continues to evolve as the global energy landscape changes to reflect variations in demand, discovery of new ultra-deep water oil deposits, and national and geopolitical developments. NOCs, traditionally viewed as the custodians of their country's natural resources, have generally owned and managed the complete national oil and gas supply chain from upstream to downstream activities. In recent years, NOCs have emerged not only as joint venture partners globally with the major oil companies, but increasingly as competitors to the International Oil Companies (IOCs). Many NOCs are now more active in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), thereby increasing the number of NOCs seeking international upstream and downstream acquisition and asset targets. Keywords: National Oil Companies, Petroleum, Business and Operating Models * Saudi Aramco, and King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) E-mail: [email protected] Introduction historically have mainly operated in their home countries, although the evolving trend is that they are National oil companies (NOCs) are defined as those going international. Examples of NOCs include Saudi oil companies that have significant shares owned by Aramco (the largest integrated oil and gas company in their parent government, and whose missions are to the world), Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), work toward the interest of their country.

  • Deep Borehole Placement of Radioactive Wastes a Feasibility Study
    DEEP BOREHOLE PLACEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES A FEASIBILITY STUDY Bernt S. Aadnøy & Maurice B. Dusseault Executive Summary Deep Borehole Placement (DBP) of modest amounts of high-level radioactive wastes from a research reactor is a viable option for Norway. The proposed approach is an array of large- diameter (600-750 mm) boreholes drilled at a slight inclination, 10° from vertical and outward from a central surface working site, to space 400-600 mm diameter waste canisters far apart to avoid any interactions such as significant thermal impacts on the rock mass. We believe a depth of 1 km, with waste canisters limited to the bottom 200-300 m, will provide adequate security and isolation indefinitely, provided the site is fully qualified and meets a set of geological and social criteria that will be more clearly defined during planning. The DBP design is flexible and modular: holes can be deeper, more or less widely spaced, at lesser inclinations, and so on. This modularity and flexibility allow the principles of Adaptive Management to be used throughout the site selection, development, and isolation process to achieve the desired goals. A DBP repository will be in a highly competent, low-porosity and low-permeability rock mass such as a granitoid body (crystalline rock), a dense non-reactive shale (chloritic or illitic), or a tight sandstone. The rock matrix should be close to impermeable, and the natural fractures and bedding planes tight and widely spaced. For boreholes, we recommend avoiding any substance of questionable long-term geochemical stability; hence, we recommend that surface casings (to 200 m) be reinforced polymer rather than steel, and that the casing is sustained in the rock mass with an agent other than standard cement.
