Advanced Acquisition and Management of Petrographic Information from Reservoir Rocks Using the PETROLEDGE ® System by DE ROS, LUIZ FERNANDO; GOLDBER

Introduction
The petrographic characterization of reservoir rocks provides information on their origin, evolution and quality. This information is essential for the development of accurate tri-dimensional models for oilfield simulation, development and production, as well as for the explanation and prediction of quality during exploration. However, in order to substantially contribute to decrease exploration risks and increase hydrocarbon production efficiency, petrographic reservoir characterization must include not only information on the volumes of detrital and diagenetic constituents and pore types, but also a detailed record of their habits, locations, modifications and paragenetic interrelations, which directly control porosity and permeability, as well as log and seismic signatures. With the aim of supporting the advanced petrographic characterization and evaluation of petroleum reservoirs, an intelligent database application named Petroledge® was created through a research and development project entitled PetroGrapher (Abel et al., 2004a; 2004b; 2005). The ultimate goal of Petroledge® is the precise and comprehensive description and interpretation of reservoir rocks and associated sedimentary rocks.
Description of the Petroledge® system
Petroledge® features include an optimized support for the petrographic description of clastic and carbonate reservoirs and other sedimentary rocks, following a standard workflow and technical petrographic nomenclature that insures consistency of stored information, security information access control for several classes of users, and a large expert knowledge base on sedimentary petrology that guides all system functions. The system guides sample description, according to a systematic order, allowing the standardization of geological terminology for all aspects of description, providing the automatic generation of textural, compositional and provenance classification diagrams, as well as interpretation of diagenetic environments. The information is stored and processed within a relational database system that is processed and distributed in a corporate environment. The system comprises several modules. The Identification Module controls the user permissions of data access and stores information on the spatial and geographical location of samples. The Textural Description Module provides standard nomenclature and format for the qualitative and quantitative description of sedimentary structures, texture and fabric, including structure type and scale of color, grain size, sorting, particle shape and fabric in macroscopic and microscopic scales. The compositional Quantification Module allows description and quantification of all important detrital, diagenetic and pore type constituents, which can be associated with several habits, locations, paragenetic relations and modifiers simply by clicking the mouse (Fig. 1). A large compositional nomenclature database is available, comprising the ontology of all primary, diagenetic and pore type constituents commonly found in both siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks.
Stageledge®, an electromechanical microscope stage fully integrated and controlled by the system, is available for automatic quantification (Fig. 1 inset). Stageledge® allows precise movement control of the thin section. A compositional map of the quantification pathway is recorded and associated with the described constituents. The Image Annotation Module allows the association of important petrographic features annotated onto photomicrographs with the corresponding textual descriptions and the coordinates in the compositional map (Fig. 2). The Interpretation Module provides automatic generation of petrologic interpretation, including compositional, textural and provenance classification diagrams (Fig. 3, left), as well as artificial intelligence inference on diagenetic environments (Fig. 3, right). The Exportation module: complete textual descriptions are exported in XML and HTML formats for easy integration with reports and documents. Data are exported as XLS, LAS or WITSML supporting easy integration with reservoir modeling products and further analysis through Excel or other spreadsheet or statistical programs.
Petrographic information stored in Petroledge®
The porosity, permeability, log and seismic signatures of reservoirs are controlled not only by the depositional structures, textures and types of primary and diagenetic constituents, but strongly as well by the habits, location, distribution and spatial interrelations (paragenetic relations) of constituents. Petroledge® allows the detailed description and quantification of structural, textural and compositional attributes, which are essential for reservoirs characterization and modeling. Figure 4 provides an example of how the petrographic aspects are described and stored by Petroledge®, what indicates the level of information detail available in the system. Such detail is essential for the evaluation of the role of specific constituents, their habits, locations, modifications and inter-relations on porosity, permeability, resistivity, acoustic properties, and on interpretations of sedimentary provenance, depositional and diagenetic environments, etc. In the example of Figure 4, the main diagenetic constituent is smectite, which displays different habits and paragenetic relations at A and B. At A, smectite occurs as an intergranular, continuous pore lining, whereas at B it is microcrystalline smectite replacing a volcanic rock fragment. The difference between the two smectite types would be described and stored by Petroledge® as: A: Diagenetic constituent , Habit , Location , Paragenetic relation , Paragenetic relation constituent ; B: Diagenetic constituent , Habit , Location , Paragenetic relation Paragenetic relation constituent . The two habits and locations of smectite imprint very different effects in terms of reservoir quality, since smectite at A impacts permeability significantly, whereas smectite at B has no influence on permeability whatsoever. Likewise, pore types may be described in detail using Petroledge®. Figure 4 C represents a shrinkage pore due to the contraction of smectite rims, and D, an intergranular primary pore. This information is recorded as: C: Macroporosity , Location , Paragenetic relation , Paragenetic relation constituent , Location ; D: Macroporosity , Location , Paragenetic relation .
PetroQuery®
PetroQuery® is an independent on-line analytical tool that provides easy multidimensional consultation on the stored petrographic information within the corporate environment. The PetroQuery® modules access a centralized petrographic data repository generated and controlled by Petroledge® in order to support exploration and production decision-making. PetroQuery® allows easy selection and combination of multiple query criteria (Fig. 5). For example, a query to identify samples from a specific oilfield in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, where enhanced porosity and permeability is controlled by dissolution during telodiagenesis, which is indicated by the presence of more than 1% intergranular kaolinite would be: Basin , Oilfield , Stratigraphic Unit , Diagenetic constituent , Habit , Volume % . The results of consultations can be saved and exported in standard data formats (.xls), or refined. For instance, the previous consultation could be refined to retrieve only the thin sections with intergranular kaolinite volume less than 5% or to perform any complex combination of criteria stored in the database.
Advantages of use of Petroledge®
Petroledge® allows the standardization of geological terminology for all aspects of rock description and provides a workflow for the detailed description and quantification of sedimentary rocks. Moreover, tools such as the Interpretation Module and PetroQuery® provide speedy and accurate interpretations of the petrographic data and efficient data recovery. The main differential that Petroledge® offers for the characterization of reservoirs, however, is that it enables the detailed record of habits, locations, modifications and paragenetic relations of constituents, sharing the whole information through the corporate database without loosing the complexity and semantic of the petrologic information. This is possible due the knowledge-engineering techniques applied to represent the information that is essential for the modeling of reservoir optimized recovery and quality prediction. The system is fully compatible with Oracle®, Sybase®, Informix®, MySQL® and other relational database systems, as well as with Windows®, Unix®, Linux® and Macintosh® platforms. Moreover, the ability to export as LAS and WITSML formats, commonly used in modeling applications, allows the easy retrieval and integration with other applications, such as for 3D reservoir modeling and flow simulation software.

Chiropractic Basics: The Straight Facts by Dr. Gregg D. Rubinstein

Expert Author Dr. Gregg D. Rubinstein Answers General Questions About Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural drug-free healing profession that focuses on eliminating pressure from the nervous system by maintaining proper alignment of the spine.
What is vertebral subluxation? Vertical subluxation is a misalignment of one of the bones in the spine that puts pressure on the nerve, causing pain and nerve system malfunction.
What are some of the effects of this misalignment? The effects must be understood by looking at the body as a whole. If you understand how the body works, there is the brain, the spinal cord and all the spinal nerves that exit from the adjacent vertebrae or in between the bones. When those spinal bones get misaligned, it puts pressure on the nerves. Those nerves sense pain and move muscles, so one can get muscle spasms and pain, but that is actually only 10 percent of what your nerve system does. The other 90 percent is controlling and coordinating every cell in every organ and system in your body. After breakfast, when you digest your food, that does not require active thought, but happens automatically via your nerve system. If there is pressure on your nerves, those processes can be slowed down. Your immune system is controlled by your nerve system as well, so if you have pressure on your nerve system, your immune system function will be suppressed and you will not be as healthy as you can be.
For example: Remember Christopher Reeves? If you looked at his lungs, they were totally healthy yet he could not breathe on his own. That was because he had an extreme amount of pressure on his spinal cord and therefore on his nervous system. If you put his legs under a microscope and examined them, they were totally healthy. What was missing? There was pressure on the nerves that control his legs so he got no nerve energy to his legs and they did not work. The same thing can happen with the nerves that go to any other part of your body.
What is innate intelligence? Innate intelligence is basically your body's infinite wisdom. Your digestive system works automatically. When a baby is born it knows that it needs to suck right away. That suckling reflex is inherent. That is inborn, genetic - innate. So your innate intelligence is the power that made the body and heals the body. The innate intelligence takes 23 chromosomes from Mom and 23 chromosomes from Dad and puts that genetic code together into a single cell. It is innate intelligence that directs that cell to form a perfect being with 10 fingers, 10 toes and everything symmetrical. All this is according to your DNA and innate intelligence is the expression of your DNA. Itis the life force within you that controls and coordinates your body. That's what helps you fight off disease and that's what helps you understand words and helps you process it. All that happens innately. Innate basically means inborn - so that is your inborn intelligence.

The most effective techniques to implement in order to increase your ranking on the major search engines. by hardeep

The methods employed to increase your search engine rankings may seem like rocket science to you, so you have probably avoided dealing with this issue. I am here to tell you - the time has come to face your website! A high search engine ranking for your website is so essential that if you have the slightest desire to actually succeed in your business, there is no way you can continue to avoid this issue.
At least 85% of people looking for goods and services on the Internet find websites through search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The idea of optimizing your pages for high search engine rankings is to attract targeted customers to your site who will be more than likely to make a purchase. The higher your page comes up in search engine results, the greater the traffic that is directed to your website. That's what search engine optimization is about.
You can immerse yourself in all the technical information available online to figure out how to optimize your web pages to achieve higher rankings. Or you can look at a few simple items on your pages, make some small adjustments, and most likely see improved rankings quite rapidly. The first item you should examine is the title bar on your homepage. The title bar is the colored bar at the top of the page. Look at the words that appear there when you access your home page. To increase search engine rankings, the words on your homepage's title bar should include the most important keywords or phrases, one of which would include your company name.
Then click on all your links and examine the title bars on the pages you access. Each title bar on every single page of your site should contain the most important keywords and phrases taken from the page itself. However, avoid very long strings of keywords, keeping them to six words or less. Avoid repeating keywords more than once in the title bars, and make sure that identical words are not next to each other.
The next item to put under your microscope is your website content. Search engines generally list sites that contain quality content rather than scintillating graphics. The text on your site must contain the most important keywords - the words that potential customers will be typing into search engines to find your site.
Aim to have around 250 words on each page, but if this is not desirable due to your design, aim for at least 100 carefully chosen words. If you want to achieve a high ranking on search engines, this text is essential. However, the search engines must be able to read the text, meaning that the text must be in HTML and not graphic format.
To find out if your text is in HTML format, take your cursor and try to highlight a word or two. If you are able to do this, the text is HTML. If the text will not highlight, it is probably in graphic form. In this case, ask your webmaster to change the text into HTML format in order to increase your search engine rankings.
Next we come to what is called meta tags. I know this sounds like something out of science fiction, but it is really just simple code. Many people believe that meta tags are the key to high search engine rankings, but in reality, they only have a limited effect. Still, it's worth adding them in the event that a search engine will use meta tags in their ranking formula.
To find out if your page is set up with meta tags, you must access the code. To do this, click the "view" button on the browser menu bar, and select "source." This will pull up a window revealing the underlying code that created the page. If there are meta tags, they usually appear near the top of the window. For example, a meta tag would read: Meta name="keywords" content=. If you do not find code that reads like this, ask your webmaster to put them in. This may not do much for your search engine rankings, but any little boost helps.
Lastly, we come to the issue of link popularity. This is a factor that is extremely important in terms of search engine rankings. Almost all search engines use link popularity to rank your website. Link popularity is based on the quality of the sites you have linked to from your links page.
If you type in "free link popularity check" in a popular search engine, the search engine will then show you what sites are linked to your site. In the case that there aren't many sites linked up to yours, or that the sites that are linked up have low search engine rankings, consider launching a link popularity campaign. Essentially, this entails contacting quality sites and requesting that they exchange links with your site. Of course, this requires checking out the rankings of the websites you want to link up with. Linking to popular, quality sites not only boosts your search engine ranking, but it also directs more quality traffic to your website.
Search engine rankings are extremely important for a successful Internet marketing campaign. Before you go out and hire a search engine optimization company, try taking some of the simple steps listed above, and see if you can't boost your rankings yourself. Don't ever ignore this all-important factor in Internet marketing. Remember, the higher your search engine ranking, the more quality customers will be directed your way.

Cutting your Home Bills: Save Money and the Planet by Adam Singleton

Two significant factors have made the majority of households in the UK consider finding ways to cut their energy consumption, water and other utility bills, namely rapidly rising prices and also concern over carbon emissions and the detrimental impact that is having on the Earth. But, out of those the one causing most immediate concern is the wallet-busting rises in the average bill over the past two years. The majority of the energy generated in the UK is derived from using fossil fuels, which is a finite source of power. As gas, oil and coal resources are depleted it is only natural that the price of each rises; it is a case of the purest form of supply and demand economics. Add in the fact that the UK is now a net importer of all those sources of power and there is the added peril that any price fluctuations are completely at the mercy of the supplying countries. In 2008 alone wholesale energy prices increased on the previous year by 66% for electricity and 60% for gas. Although those prices then dropped in 2009, the majority of the price falls are yet to be passed on by suppliers. In addition, the recession has started to hit home, adding a third factor to why people are examining how they can reduce household expenditure. Other regular bills such as home and car insurances, mobile phone plans and broadband packages have also come under the microscope as everyone looks to get more value from their household expenditure. There are many ways to reduce the total of outgoings each month starting with merely examining how we use energy within our home. For example, British Gas has determined that on average out of every £1 spent on heating in the UK 25 pence is wasted due to poor insulation of the home. So, by investing in better loft and wall insulation and draft exclusion we can reduce our heating bill by a quarter. Questioning the ways in which we use energy around the home is a good place to start. Do we need to keep heating up water at regular intervals just to let it cool down again, or can we become more disciplined and only switch it on when we need it? Turning lights and electrical appliances such as TVs off when leaving rooms also helps avoid wasting unnecessary electricity and powering down computers and other electrical devices rather than leaving them on standby when we aren't using can save a considerable sum each year. Saving power not only helps our pockets, it helps the planet, so we should all try to examine our current habits and change then for the better!

Having a Hair Transplant by Sarah Matthews

It's inevitable that a great number of us, both men and women, will witness at least some hair loss as we get older. But instead of accepting this sad fact of life gracefully, many of us fight against it. Thankfully, today we no longer seem to be fighting a losing battle: the success of hair transplants means that people who are not totally bald can successfully regain much of their former hirsute beauty.
Hair transplants work by taking "donor" hair from the back or sides of your scalp, then placing them in areas of your head where there is no hair, or where it is very thin. The idea is to have new hair begin to grow in places where it has stopped growing, making a thinning scalp a thing of the past.
It's estimated that as many as 90 percent of all men experience some hair loss, known as male pattern baldness, and that as many as one quarter of all women in the United States have thinning hair linked to hereditary reasons. We also experience hair loss due to illness, stress (such as stress-related alopecia), pregnancy, medical conditions, infection and age.
If your hair loss bothers you so much that you spend every waking hour dreaming about how to regain your former luxurious tresses, perhaps now is the time to finally do something about it.
Types of Transplants
Three main types of hair transplants are available, including:
Follicular Unit Micrografting. This is the most common type of "hair grafting", which has been around for years. Involves removal of donor strips of hair, usually from the back of the head, which are then grafted onto the place where hair loss has occurred, usually the front of the scalp. After a strip is removed the area is tightly sutured together, becoming unnoticeable due to surrounding hair.
The pieces are then cut under a microscope and implanted in the new area. Each unit has up to three hairs, which is the way hair grows normally, and the results are visible after the first session. The implants are placed naturally so a "line" of hair doesn't appear. In a "megasession" lasting five to seven hours, as many as 4,500 units are implanted at one time to achieve a fuller head of hair virtually in an instant.
The entire procedure is done in several sessions using local anesthesia with prescribed painkillers and antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. Normal activities can usually be resumed within a week.
Follicular Unit Extraction. A relatively new technique in which a large incision to extract a donor strip of hair is not made. Instead, up to 3,000 units are meticulously extracted within a few days, one by one, using new instruments, then implanted onto the donor site.
This is good for people who may want to have their heads shaved in future without any visible scars, who may want to sport a Mohawk or for people with very curly hair. The growth rate is about 10 percent less than those who choose Follicular Unit Micrografting, and a session will take longer - as long as nine hours a day for two consecutive days. Cost is also more.
Laser Hair transplant. Hotly disputed and relatively new, described as "stat-of-the-art" and "cutting edge". It involves using lasers to make the slits to implant new hair. Proponents say it can minimize bleeding; opponents say it clogs the blood needed to nourish the grafts.
Please note that facial hair transplants are also available, for men who can't grow a beard, mustache or sideburns, and for both men and women who want more luxuriant eyelashes. Each facial area is unique, so each hair restoration program is as well. Don't go overboard and turn into a werewolf!
Some people are also beginning to experiment with PRP Therapy, or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, alongside hair transplants. This blood plasma is thought to be especially good for hair growth, as it contains certain growth factors in its bioactive proteins. Taken from the client's own blood, it is injected directly into bald patches. Still in its experimental stages.
Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments
If you have lost your hair - or are in the process of losing it - that doesn't mean you have to resort to surgery. There are a host of other measures that can make you look better, including: Correcting a medical problem. If your loss of hair is due to an underlying medical condition, sort it out. Your doctor can ask questions about your diet, medications, illnesses, pregnancies etc. It may be easier to treat than you think! Wearing a wig. Call it a wig, toupee, hairpiece, mop, cat - it all boils down to the same thing. Some salons specialize in special wigs for people who have gone through chemotherapy or stress-related alopecia - their wigs are usually well made and they deal with clients in a sensitive manner. Check them out. Taking hair loss drugs. Rogaine (available without prescription) and Propecia (for men only, with prescription) are the two top-selling hair loss drugs, although many more are on the market. You'll have to use them for at least six months to see if there is any effect. Employing topical hair loss treatments. Many scalp treatments and shampoos are on the market. For most, their efficacy has not been proven. Some claim to nourish hair follicles, others claim to stimulate hair growth, still others purport to block DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, which causes male pattern baldness, in the scalp. Using cover-ups. Different types of aerosol spray-ons exist to cover up baldness. In the old days they looked like shoe polish sprayed on the back of your head; today they can be made of small fibers that look, so they say, like real strands of hair. Ummmm...... not! Cutting it all off. Easier for men than women, but isn't a Kojak-style crop far better than a Trump comb-over? Some women think bald is sexy...
Hair loss is incredibly common, but if you find your loss of hair hard to deal with, a transplant may be an option. Keep in mind, however, that a bad hair transplant is obvious from miles away - as is a badly fitted hairpiece or cheap, spray-on cover-up. Insist on the best, and know what you are getting into before you embark on any hair replacement solution. Good luck!

Overcome Infertility 90-- Types and Risks of Conventional Surgery In Treating Infertility by Kyle J. Norton

As we mentioned in previous article, If a couple can not get pregnant after 1 year of unprotected sex or carry the fetus to full term, they are considered as infertile couple. Most people under this circumstance, they will seek help from conventional doctor. After lengthy examination and diagnosis, if surgical problem is found, then the followings are recommended by their specialist depending to what has been diagnosed. In this article, we will discuss types and risks of conventional surgery in treating infertility.
I. Types of conventional surgery for infertility 1. Laparotomy microsurgery Laparotomy microsurgery is surgical procedure which helps to remove the endometrial scar tissues which in some ways interfere with the female fertilization process by reconstructing or repairing the Fallopian tube using a microscope.
2. Laparsoscope After a small incision, the laparoscope is inserted for the doctor to view the pelvic organs. If any abnormality is found, another incision is needed for the doctor to remove any scar tissue, endometriosis or cyst, etc. It helps your doctor to have a clean view of your abdomen and repair the blockage of the fallopian tubes, if necessary.This procedure is often used to treat female infertility with blockage of fallopian tubes and endometriosis .
3. Hyteroscope By using a fiber optic scope connecting to the hyteroscope and stretching the cervical canal, your doctor has a clean view of your uterine. If any abnormality is found such as fibroids, polyps, and scarring, hysteroscopy, they will be is remove, as they may obstruct the fertility processes. Hysteroscopy is routinely performed on an outpatient setting and the recovery time is typically between 2-3 days.
4. Falloposcope By inserting a tiny flexible fibre-optic scope through the cervix, uterus and into the Fallopian tubes, you doctor can view your fallopian clearly. It is performed in out patient setting, if your doctor suspects there are tubal obstruction problem which interferes with the egg fertilization. It is often used to determine whether fallopian corrective surgery or IVF is the better treatment for infertility.
II. Risks Like other surgeries, there are always some risks in reproductive diagnosis and surgery including a) Infection b ) Bleeding c) Reactions to anaesthesia d) Damage to the other reproductive organs such as. intestine or urinary tract

Best Forex Resources on the Web by Mike Sander

Looking for valuable tools and resources for learning about and updating your knowledge on forex might be a hard task unless you know where to look and what tools to use. Investors and brokers, trader and beginners all know one thing; they want to make money. This objective alone can motivate a person to great lengths and with the way the economy has been lately, I'm thinking about it learning more about forex myself.
It's a good thing that we have the internet; otherwise things would be a lot harder (like they used to be before technology was welcomed into homes.) Of course you could still go to your local library or book store and find books about forex and how to get into trading and such, if you don't have internet access, but these days most people do and for those of you who do, check these sites out for the best forex resources out there.
If you're a beginner setting out to appease your curiosity these web-sites you will find to be very helpful in answering your questions. Many of these web-sites offer demo or trial accounts that you can sign up for to even see if forex is right for you. There are also many forums and blogs you can sign up for that offer beginners a vast array of knowledge, insider tips and tricks and overall good information. www.forexblog.org, www.fxstreet.com, www.forexnews.com, www.forextips.com and www.forex.com, each of these websites offer online tutorials, videos, lessons charting trials, start-up kits and beginner resources. You will find each site to be informative and overflowing with more answers to your questions than you'll know what to do with.
If you've been in forex trading for a while or might even be a beginner who knows for sure this is the path you wish to take, then these websites will be extremely helpful to you. I've viewed each one of them thoroughly and found that they are easy to navigate and understand. If you're ready for the next step in forex trading and looking for a broker, you'll find the best out there here: www.forex.com, www.dbFX.com, www.fxsolutions.com, www.ibfx.com, www.forexclub.com; all companies have a solid background and can be asked for their credentials if curious.
And then when your ready to use calculators and charts for your forex journey the next web-sites will lead you to exactly what you need. They are easy to use and understand and even make your job a lot easier with understanding how currency works. Check out: www.oanda.com, www.xe.com, www.forexscale.com, www.forextips.com, www.forexdirectory.net or www.xe.net. You will find these websites so easy to use, you could do it sleeping.
Lastly, remember that forex trading is not something that is learned overnight. It's a hobby/ profession that takes time to learn and become successful at; at even some of the best still don't always make the right decisions. Forex Trading and investing is similar to the Stock Markets, you have to keep a close eye on things (like under a microscope close) and know when to call it quits. It's like this; take gambling for instance, if you loose a bet... you going to risk more to win it back? These resources help you to learn not to bet it all to loose it, they show you how to be smart and hopefully know when to stop.
