During these times of energy crises unconventional reservoirs have got significant importance. In such situations, proper designing and execution of hydraulic fracture job (HFJ) is required to produce wells at attractive production rates. By using this technique, wells can produce more, resulting in higher production from the reservoirs. In this paper, a hydraulic fracture job has been designed and its impact on oil production has been estimated by performing pre- and post-fracture reservoir performance calculations, using developed SMART software.

  • Reforming Medical Education in Pakistan Through Strengthening
    Original Article Reforming Medical Education in Pakistan through strengthening Departments of Medical Education Muhammad Zahid Latif1, Gohar Wajid2 ABSTRACT Objective: To review the current status of departments of medical education in all public and private medical colleges located in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: This was a quantitative, cross sectional descriptive study; conducted from March to October 2015 in Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC) recognized medical colleges located in Lahore, Pakistan. Respondents were the heads of departments of medical education or any other well-informed faculty member. A questionnaire was prepared to obtain information about the current status of the departments of medical education (DMEs). The investigator personally visited all medical colleges for data collection. Both verbal and written consents were obtained and the questionnaire was administered to the resource persons. The data was organized and entered in SPSS for descriptive analysis. Results: Out of the 18 medical colleges in Lahore, six (33.3%) belonged to public sector and 12 (66.7%) were from private sector. All medical colleges reported to have a functional DME. However, eight had established DMEs during the past five years. Only one (5.6%) head of DME was working on full-time basis. Eleven (61.1%) heads of DMEs did not have any formal qualification in medical education. Eight (44.4%) colleges claimed to have adequate human resources for DME. Thirteen (72.2%) colleges mentioned that adequate financial resources were available for running DMEs. It is encouraging to see that DMEs in private sector medical colleges are playing increasingly significant role in managing educational activities.
