Detecting drug-related social media content has become important for governments, technology companies, and those responsible for enforcing laws against proscribed drugs. Their efforts have led to the development of various techniques for identifying and efficiently removing drug-related content, as well as for blocking network access for those who create it. This study introduces a manually annotated Twitter dataset consisting of 112,057 tweets from 2008 to 2022, compiled for use in detecting associations connected with drug use. Working in groups, expert annotators classified tweets as either related or unrelated to drug use. The dataset was subjected to exploratory data analysis to identify its defining features. Several classification algorithms, including support vector machines, XGBoost, random forest, Naive Bayes, LSTM, and BERT, were used in experiments with this dataset. Among the baseline models, BERT with textual features achieved the highest <i>F</i>1-score, at 0.9044. However, this performance was surpassed when the BERT base model and its textual features were concatenated with a deep neural network model, incorporating numerical and categorical features in the ensemble method, achieving an <i>F</i>1-score of 0.9112.

In mature oil fields, waterflooding becomes increasingly essential in order to maximize oil recovery and extend field life, but optimizing its performance remains a complex and challenging task. In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing integrated approaches combining reservoir simulation, well modeling, and data-driven techniques to improve waterflood performance. The Capacitance–Resistance Model (CRM) has been proven to be a fast and effective tool for predicting waterflooding and reservoir characterization. Previous studies have successfully applied CRM to waterflood management to increase oil recovery. This paper develops a novel integrated and iterative workflow for waterflooding optimization in mature fields using the CRM for multilayer reservoirs equipped with Interval Control Valves (ICVs). The proposed approach, which integrates geological and well data with CRM results, was validated using a benchmark field model named the Olympus. This new workflow will help to put connected injection and production wells in different groups to reduce computational costs. In addition, this workflow can be used to determine the optimized number and proper location of the ICVs inside production wells. We determined the workover programs for existing wells, such as installing sensors and ICVs, deepening the wells, or plug-backs. Finally, it can be used for determining optimal water injection rates and well control strategies, such as valve openings in different production layers. As a result, the oil recovery factor increased, and the NPV was maximized, respecting the Olympus field's economic and operational constraints.</p>","PeriodicalId":8109,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140125378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in high-temperature Malaysian reservoirs, achieving the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) for successful miscible flooding can be challenging. This study investigates the potential of using fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) derived from biomass sources to lower the MMP in CO₂-crude oil systems, thereby enhancing CO₂-EOR performance. FAME, renewable and sustainable, presents an innovative alternative to conventional petroleum-based chemicals in EOR. The study involved two types of biomass-derived FAME, sourced from Rubber Seed Oil and Palm Kernel Oil, and two types of crude oil, Tapis and Dulang, tested using the slim tube method at 90 °C and pressures up to 4500 psi. Our findings indicate the presence of Methyl Oleate in Rubber Seed Oil and Methyl Laurate in Palm Kernel Oil, both likely derivatives formed during biodiesel production through transesterification. The MMP for Tapis crude oil was 3620 psi, and for Dulang crude oil, it was 3860 psi, exceeding both the reservoir and fracture pressures of the formation. This can lead to inefficient CO₂ injection, reservoir fracturing, and increased costs. However, the addition of 5% vol. FAME to Tapis crude oil demonstrated promise, with Methyl Laurate reducing the MMP by 17.12% and Methyl Oleate by 3.34%. Increasing the concentration of Methyl Laurate to 10% vol. resulted in a substantial 21% MMP reduction. Notably, the presence of waxes and asphaltenes further lowered the MMP compared to pure Tapis crude oil, with Methyl Laurate achieving a 6.42% reduction compared to 17% for Methyl Oleate. In conclusion, this study explores the use of biomass-derived FAME to improve CO₂ flooding performance by lowering MMP. The findings suggest that FAME, particularly Methyl Laurate, offers a sustainable solution to address MMP challenges in CO₂-based EOR operations, contributing to the advancement of the oil industry in the region.</p>","PeriodicalId":8109,"journal":{"name":"Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140098358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rectangular sandwich panel has simple supported boundary conditions and consists of three layers: two aluminum top face sheets and one auxetic core layer with a negative Poisson's ratio. Using the energy technique, the system's governing equations are derived. The equilibrium equations were solved by the analytic approach of the Navier method in the space domain and the numerical method of Newmark in the time domain.
