The Impact of Different Completion Parameters on Well Performance of Gas Unconventional Reservoirs
Ibrahim S. Mohamed, Hamid M. Khattab, Ahmed A. Gawish and Mazher H. Ibrahim
Unconventional reservoirs are defined as reservoirs that cannot be produced at economic flow rates or that do not produce economic volumes of oil and gas without assistance from massive stimulation treatments or special recovery process. Shale and tight reservoirs are low quality reservoirs with low permeability. This low permeability can be as low as 100 Nano decries. . Well performance in gas unconventional reservoirs is greatly affected by different completion parameters of the horizontal wells. These completion parameters include number of frac stages, frac face skin, production under different draw down or (ðÂ�‘Â�ðÂ�‘â€& #8220; - ðÂ�‘Â�ðÂ�‘¤ðÂ�‘“) and the effect of production from different drainage areas. In this study, these parameters will be studied and quantified for proper analysis of long-term linear flow periods associated with tight/shale gas production

POONKODI, A, P. PADMAVATHY, A. SRINIVASAN, R. JEYA SHAKILA, S. ANAND AND D. MANIMEKALAI
The pond bottom soil and the accumulated sediments are integral parts of ponds. Concentrations of nutrients, organic matter and microorganism density in the pond bottom are several orders of magnitude greater than in the water. Shrimp, as animals that normally live on or near the bottom, are exposed to conditions on the pond bottom. Exposure to toxic materials endangers the wellbeing of the cultured shrimp. Reduced feeding, slower growth, mortality and possibly higher sensitivity to disease.

Bioclimatic Approch for Low Operational Energy in Educational Buildings In Nigeria
Owolabi Olalekan Simeon and Halil Zafer Alibaba
Due to the increase in debates on climate change and sustainability in different regions, sustainable and green building constructions have been on the rise. It is important to note that building design processes must not ignore climate considerations, or else risk the interference of human activities within the building space. This paper aims at assessing bioclimatic approaches in relation to energy performance towards a sustainable environment and green buildings. Bioclimatic design approaches help to increase the comfort experienced within a building in all seasons without automated or mechanical means. These approaches also help to curtail the use of non-renewable energy for cooling, heating, ventilation and lighting. This leads to reduced energy costs. The application of this principle does not imply an increase in the cost of construction or installation of some automated systems. Building designs which are based on bioclimatic approaches are highly sustainable; more ventilated with better indoor air quality, and allow for better visual comfort. The energy efficiency of an existing building and a proposed building will be compared using simulation tools contained in a software – Revit Architecture. This paper suggests design methods using sustainable approaches, which will assist designers and the construction industry as a whole in the application of the concept of bioclimatic design. The advantages of this approach are carefully analyzed.

A REVIEW OF CURRENT SITUATION AND PROBLEMS OF WATER RESOURCES IN SHANGHAI
FRIDAH MWARANIA, LI YONGMEI, ANNE WAMBUI MUMBI, JOSEPH KATHIAI KURAUKA, FADINA K.S. JUSTIN.
Water resource is a vital asset that supports survival of both plants and animals and shanghai location that& #8217;s east tip of Yangtze River Delta and halfway along China& #39;s eastern coastline is said to receive relatively high amount of rainfall therefore recharging both its surface and ground water sources. However due to increased consumption levels this resource has become scarce and Shanghai is one of six cities in the world facing severe water shortages, which poses a threat to the city& #8217;s residents, agricultural output, energy production, and economic productivity. Apart from water scarcity some of the water sources are highly polluted from the industrial agricultural and domestic effluents containing contaminants like; chemical oxygen demanding agents, ammonia, oils and total dissolved oxygen making the cost of treating the water to meet the accepted level standard expensive. To solve the various issues that Shanghai is facing today the municipal government should modify the various policies, laws and regulations governing the water sector that are in place. Technology is another aspect that can be used to improve the water situations in shanghai since future projections show that shanghai will be faced with high water scarcity levels. The residents are left spending a lot of money to pay for the water bills since the cost is directly charged to the end consumer that is the customer. Despite the challenges most people have access to clean piped water. The quantity might not be as it was years back, but at least the taps are not dry.

Effect of Flooding on Livelihood of Communities in Muwo District, Mokwa Local Government Area, Niger State, Nigeria
Bukka, U. A., Muhammad, B. Y. & Iyanda, T. Y.
Flooding in Nigeria has been reported to affect and render people homeless than any other natural disaster. Muwo district is one of the adversely affected districts in Nigeria owing to its geographical location and many other factors. Unfortunately, there is dearth of literature on the effects of flood in the district, therefore this paper was aimed at assessing the effects of flooding on livelihood in the district. 425 questionnaires were administered and analyzed. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was used to assess the trend of the occurrence of flooding in the past 30 years. Geographic Information systems (GIS) was used to analyze the terrain. The results revealed that among the underlying courses of flooding, 77% of respondents agreed that release of water from Kainji dam was the main cause of flooding in the area, while 23% attributed the flooding to excessive rainfall. As evident from the standard precipitation index, excessive rainfall is not the cause of flooding in the district but the release of water from Kainji dam. The results showed that there was a great loss of agricultural products worth millions of Naira. There was a significant increase of loss with an increase in farm size (R2 = 0.98). The SPI results indicated that years the 1995 and 2007 recorded the highest amount of rainfall which made them very wet years. The year 2008 was moderately wet year. The years 2015 and 1988 were found to be moderately dry and extremely dry respectively. The findings indicated that there were 22 near normal years. Migration was found to be the major coping strategies adopted by the communities. The terrain analysis indicated that 639.92 sq. mi, 880.83sq. mi and 155.37 sq. mi were found to be highly vulnerable, moderately vulnerable and less vulnerable to flooding.

Rubaya Tasnin Mim, Istiaque Muhammad Khan, Howlader Ohidul Islam
Reservoir characterization is a detailed description of a reservoir using all available data. The hydrocarbon storage capacity is characterized by the effective porosity and size of the reservoir, whereas the deliverability is a function of permeability. Porosity and permeability are key parameters that are readily measured on rock samples and from well log analysis. This study shows the determination of reservoir rock properties and volumetric reserve estimation of Shahjadpur-Sundalpur gas field (well-2) using wireline log data. Hydrocarbon bearing zone of a reservoir is detected by Resistivity log, Porosity logs and Lithology logs. Porosity has been determined by using Sonic, Density and Neutron logs. Effective porosity has been calculated from neutron-density combination formulae. Log derived permeability is estimated using Wyllie & Rose equation. Water saturation has been estimated from Archie formulae, Indonesia equation and Simandoux model with the help of resistivity log data. At last reserve is estimated using volumetric
