Abstract Improved understanding of unconventional formations requires advanced mechanical and index assessments to explore their complex geology, fissility, and anisotropic behavior. This publication is an extension of the work presented in (Gramajo and Rached 2022), which presented comprehensive datasets of unconventional rocks from China, the United States of America (USA), Canada, and Saudi Arabia. The datasets include the mineral composition, petrophysical parameters (Total Organic Carbon (TOC), porosity, and permeability), and mechanical properties (elastic parameters and compressive strength values). This paper extends the analysis to include unconventional formations from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) datasets, specifically from Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study enhances our understanding of the newly added rock formations and defines the rock analogs and initial parameters needed to tailor down-hole tools, fracturing fluids, and engineering processes. The results will help reduce the costs (equipment, sample preparation, and measurement time) associated with the initial experimental assessments and achieve higher production outcomes in the emerging reservoirs.

Abstract Satisfying the rising energy demands across the globe and limiting the environmental impact are two intertwining issues affecting stakeholders in the 21st century. This resulted in many policy incentives to promote eco-friendly green energy utilization together with other conservation measures. In this regard, the objective of the study is to investigate the introduction of business decisions that enhance the likelihood of companies adopting green energy sources, leading to reduced carbon emissions. It also intends to investigate various decarbonization strategies, which may have implications for profitability. Ultimately, it aims to underscore environmental preservation as a critical aspect of sustainable business practice. The methodology entails an analysis of existing literature focusing on green energy policies and measures for the promotion of green energy. The study uses the survey method to investigate articles and perspectives related to the subject in the UAE. Observations will be made to determine the most effective policy and regulatory direction in areas of green energy and sustainability. Similarly, the process entails an examination of how to design a green energy policy with economic and environmental factors in mind and, through the analysis, the methods include an evaluation of different incentives. The study underscored the importance of establishing energy policies and putting in place incentives for stakeholders, including businesses and end-users to embrace green energy production, supply, and usage. Key incentives identified include favorable government policies, rising costs of fossil fuels, and the need to reduce emissions levels globally. Notably, despite the high initial cost of green energy, the investigation noted substantial future financial savings along with protecting the environment and introducing the social cost of carbon (SCC) in the analysis. Therefore, standardization of green energy costs would contribute to the adoption of green energy sources. Above all, the rising cost of conventional energy makes it imperative for governments and organizations to adopt green energy. Despite many studies on green energy, this paper presents novel ideas as it focuses on incentives for production costs. It outlines how to lower the cost of producing green energy to the same standard as conventional sources increasing its capacity compared with historical patterns. The incentives under discussion also underscore energy efficiency by making it a cheaper and cost-competitive alternative, and technology comes out as a crucial ground leveler in achieving cost-effectiveness and efficiency. For example, improvement of storage would be vital in storing power for extended periods once harnessed or fuel transitioning in transportation. Overall, government incentives and interventions in areas of funding, research, and development would mitigate existing challenges and contribute to the long-term development of green energy.

Abstract Engineering Asset Management(EAM) is management of engineering assets and it provides guidelines on the effective usage of all the physical engineered assets within the organization. Similarly, Non-Destructive Testing [NDT] is used as a handy tool for integrity assessment of Assets in scheduled maintenance & inspection program. Though Asset Inspection in Oil & Gas Industry were using conventional NDT methods, now ASME, API and others came up with inspection procedures based on fracture mechanics, where each user to ascertain how their tool/regional operating condition deviate from the assumptions herein, then employ their engineering and technical judgment in deciding how and when to employ any part of these standard. Till recent past, there were no regular validation for these procedures being performed as presumed; benchmark for Severity of failure in North Sea offshore and that in MENA Onshore are set as same. Integration of Operations Management System [OMS] based in Asset Inspection with the EAM allows the Asset Owner/Custodian to consistently monitor each Asset, Acquire monitoring / measurement data in common platform using standardized operating procedures, Measure / Analyze Longevity of each Asset and enable the end user to validate their Service Quality Plan and inspection procedures, as per applicable operating limits and risks. The purpose of this paper to emphasize the importance of optimizing the Asset utilization and serviceability to enhance overall efficiency by integrating; (1)EAM software that manages Assets, (2)OMS controlling the process and (3)Asset Inspection Management System[AIMS]. Case study refer our AIMS, a tool to track all Equipment data [Images, OEM/CoC Document, Inspection Reports/Certificates, track analysis of major attributes] through a single channel - Master Asset [Inspection] Register. Uniquely numbered Assets in each category Drilling Tubulars, Hosting &Handling Equipment and/or Lifting Equipment Item is captured in respective Master Asset Inspection Register with all related Equipment data & Inspection records. Inspection records provides all its inspection related history since its commissioning and manufacturing OEM/CoC Documents. Our cloud based AIMS-App's compliance to API Q2, ISO9001:2015 and ISO17020:2012 ensures its certifying requirements to, (1)relevant Industry standard and bench mark (2)Competence of Inspection Personnel and (3)Compliance of Measuring Devices & Equipment. In last two years [2016-2018] by ensuring Acceptance Benchmark only, more than 70% reduction in premature failure [Crack in Thread Connection; where 50% of those are potential NPT cases] in drilling Tools achieved. Our App provide the user to analyze Inspection data. The trend analysis of tools helps in its planning and utilization plus the data can be directly input to modify Service Quality Plan to optimizing the asset utilization & serviceability. The above are some of the immediate befit to Oil Company and Drilling Contractor by AIMS. This paper also discusses one more dimension of it, Reliability in Service Quality.

Abstract Unconventional formations require advanced mechanical and index assessments to improve their understanding under different geomechanical processes. However, difficulties associated with obtaining cores from the target formations and the challenges with sample preparation increase the assessment complexity. This research compiles data from unconventional index properties and rock mechanical test results from published articles and reports. The parameters include rock mineralogy, rock mechanical properties (compressive strength and elastic properties), and petrophysical properties (porosity, TOC, and permeability). The study showcases the main differences between the global and regional (Middle East and North Africa) rock formations and presents the best analogs for the regional reservoirs. These findings supplement the scarce and complex procurement of the needed rock specimens and reduce the number of core samples required for detailed evaluations. These outcomes help reduce the costs (equipment, sample preparation, measurement time, and the number of specimens tested) associated with the unconventional rock experimental evaluation. In addition, this study explores the successful development strategy implemented in the unconventional reservoirs in China to accomplish commercial production and recommends appropriate rock analogs for detailed experimental evaluations. This paper is part of an in-depth literature data compilation of MENA regional and global unconventional formations. This section of the study focuses on the target unconventional formations of Saudi Arabia and the unconventional formations in China, the USA, and Canada.

The complete paper analyzes the role of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in balancing the natural gas demand in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region. Natural gas increasingly is becoming a main energy source in the region. Contrary to widely held belief, several countries in MENA could fall into deficit regarding their self-supply of gas, leading to the need to import. The options of supply are through pipeline networks, or LNG. The global LNG pricing mechanism is changing toward flexible market-related methods that might encourage some countries to switch to LNG supplies.
