This technological progress was accompanied by an increase in hacking attempts. Cyber-attacks are defined as the hacking of a computer by a person or group of people over the Internet, causing a lot of damage, especially to devices and equipment that depend on the Internet; This leads to substantial financial losses. Therefore, it is very important to understand these attacks and try to overcome them.  In the oil sector, cyber-attacks can be scanned in three areas (upstream, midstream, and downstream).  This paper discusses how to secure cyber security for the oil sector by making plans for Internal and external cybersecurity by creating and securing separate loops by using blockchain technology and creating a smart contract for each loop to protect it information. As well as using the simulation and control system to increase the effectiveness of cyber security, and after this survey process. This paper aims to classify the cyber-attacks that affect the oil and gas sectors.

Static young's modulus is one of the most crucial rock mechanical properties utilized in the drilling process to assess wellbore integrity and setting-up geomechanical earth model. Static young’s modulus change with varies of formation lithology’s which arise the critical need for estimation.\u0000The current study, a static young modulus values of different formations in section 12.25“in Zubair oil field are determined by depending on correlation to indicate variations in units and layers. Data of Gamma ray (GR), density log, sonic compression log (DTCO), and sonic shear log (DTSM) logs of well ZA-2 are utilized to estimate this attribute. Four different correlations that are set-up in Techlog 2015 software are used to achieve the aim of this study. These outcomes are calibrated using the fundamental laboratory tests (Brazilin and Triaxle test). The results showed that the modified Morales correlation provides a good matching with Calibration data, while four key data points are poorly correlated with the results of John Fuller's analysis.Also, Morales correlation shows unconformity when porosity reduced by less than 10% at different intervals, and  Plumb Bradford correlation produces incorrect findings of static young’s higher than the dynamic.

In order to protect these parts from corrosion, much small quantities of inhibitors are constantly injected, which gradually formulate a fluffy layer of inhibitor over the metal surface so as to protect it from corrosion. Recently, the impact of corrosion inhibitors on the environment has been raising more attention and concern. New regulations related to environment have been designated, imposing a change in the use of toxic chemicals to the utilization of the so-called “green chemicals”. Experiments on carbon steel corrosion protection have been conducted in a medium of crude oil has an API gravity of 30.6 by using different concentrations, ranging between 100 – 400 ppm of different green inhibitors such as corn oil, sunflower oil, flaxseed oil and castor oil with a different rotation speeds, namely, 0, 500, 1250 and 2000 rpm. The weight loss outcomes have showed that the rate of carbon steel corrosion in the crude oil decreases with the rise of inhibitors’ concentration, while corresponds with the increase of the rotational speed. In addition, it was found that the maximum inhibition efficiency achieved for the inhibitors corn oil, sunflower oil, flaxseed oil and castor oil in crude oil was using a concentration of 400 ppm, a rotation speed of 0 rpm and an ambient temperature (25 °C) is 41.85%, 50.76%, 63.55% and 92.63%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":16710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Research and Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86505893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome the problem of heterogeneity, most reservoir studies split the reservoir into different zones. In general, this disparity affects all log tools. Sonic shear wave time (SSW) is a critical metric in geomechanical modeling that is strongly influenced by reservoir heterogeneity and the kind of porous fluid composition. To detect the effect of reservoir heterogeneity on SSW prediction, an artificial neural network (ANN) was applied as an intelligent technique. One Iraqi vertical well that penetrated the Asmari reservoir was selected for this study. It contains 2462 SSW measured points as well as the following seven log parameters: Gamma Ray, Caliper, Density, Neutron, Compressional sonic, and True resistivity log over measured depth. Based on formation assessment and available well data, the Asmari reservoir was classified into six zones (with different lithology and different fluid content): A, B1, B2, B3, B4, and C. To investigate the effect of lithology on SSW, two runs of ANN had been conducted in this study.\u0000Initially, we developed a single ANN for all 2462 measured points, while in the second, six ANNs were built, one for each zone. The optimum structure for all the developed ANNs was obtained with one hidden layer of 12 neurons (7-12-1). The statistical parameters used for comparison are average percent error (APE), absolute average percent error (AAPE), standard deviation (SD), mean square error (MSE), and correlation coefficient (R2). It was observed that these parameters are approximately close to each other for the developed seven ANNs. The R2 values of the seven ANNs are 0.98 for all zones, and 0.99, 0.99, 0.99, 0.99, 0.99 and 0.96 for each zone respectively. The insignificant differences of results can be explained by the fact that the log readings (i.e. inputs variables) are already reflected the effect of lithology. Therefore, we recommended using the ANN based on 2462 for predicting SSW to any lithology zone. A mathematical model for representing the suggested ANN to simplify the calculation.","PeriodicalId":16710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Research and Studies","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82275806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most sustainable solution is to use absorption cooling technology by utilizing solar heat as driving energy instead of electricity. The primary advantage of absorptive cooling is lower electricity costs. In this study, the effect of changing the thermal storage capacities of hot and cold storage tanks and the solar collector area on the performance of the absorption air conditioning cycle was investigated. The optimum operating conditions, the maximum number of processing hours, and the optimum performance coefficient of the absorption conditioning cycle system were selected. The water-lithium bromide solution was used as a fluid in the sorption cycle, and glycerin was used in the hot and cold tank cycle and in the solar collector because it can with stands both high and low temperatures.\u0000The simulation process was carried out using (Fortran 90) program with the help of (Port log) program, (Carrier HAP420) program and (Curve Expert) program. The absorption conditioning cycle was simulated during the day to choose the best capacity for hot and cold storage tanks, as well as to choose the solar collector with the best performance factor. Changing the area of the solar collector (from 9.6 m2 to 16.7 m2), and the volume of the hot tank (from 0.55 m3 to 1.4 m3) have been done to provide the maximum temperature that the hot tank can reach with varying expected cooling load per hour, as well as the size of the tank cold (from 0.9 m3 to 1.6 m3) which gets additional cooling capacity, since the effect of these variables was tested separately.\u0000According to the research results, the best and most suitable volume for the hot tank is (0.55 m3), and for the cold tank is (1.5 m3), and the best and appropriate area for a solar concentric collector is (11.7 m2), which can provide longer running hours.

The results show that increasing the concentration increases all types of viscosity and flow time, with the exception of intrinsic viscosity, which decreases as concentrations increase. Other parameters decrease after the first UV ray and heat treatment, but increase as the time of UV ray treatment increases. Furthermore, increasing the weight ratio of glass fibers from 0.1 to 0.4 wt lowered shore hardness, whereas increasing the weight ratio at the same previous range increased it after UV rad.
