Otimização de vazão de poços injetores em projeto de injeção de água utilizando simulação por linhas de fluxo

Until the early 90s, the simulation of fluid flow in oil reservoir basically used the numerical technique of finite differences. Since then, there was a big development in simulation technology based on streamlines, so that nowadays it is being used in several cases and it can represent the physical mechanisms that influence the fluid flow, such as compressibility, capillarity and gravitational segregation. Streamline-based flow simulation is a tool that can help enough in waterflood project management, because it provides important information not available through traditional simulation of finite differences and shows, in a direct way, the influence between injector well and producer well. This work presents the application of a methodology published in literature for optimizing water injection projects in modeling of a Brazilian Potiguar Basin reservoir that has a large number of wells. This methodology considers changes of injection well rates over time, based on information available through streamline simulation. This methodology reduces injection rates in wells of lower efficiency and increases injection rates in more efficient wells. In the proposed model, the methodology was effective. The optimized alternatives presented higher oil recovery associated with a lower water injection volume. This shows better efficiency and, consequently, reduction in costs. Considering the wide use of the water injection in oil fields, the positive outcome of the modeling is important, because it shows a case study of increasing of oil recovery achieved simply through better distribution of water injection rates

A organização do processo de projeto de arquitetura no meio profissional: uma análise da produção em escritórios

This paper examines, through case studies, the organization of the production process of architectural projects in architecture offices in the city of Natal, specifically in relation to building projects. The specifics of the design process in architecture, the production of the project in a professional field in Natal, are studied in light of theories of design and its production process. The survey, in its different phases, was conducted between March 2010 and September 2012 and aimed to identify, understand, and analyze comparatively, by mapping the design process, the organization of production of building projects in two offices in Natal, checking as well the relationships of their agents during the process. The project was based on desk research and exploration, adopting, for both, data collection tools such as forms, questionnaires, and interviews. With the specific aim of mapping the design process, we adopted a technique that allows obtaining the information directly from employee agents involved in the production process. The technique consisted of registering information by completing daily, during or at the end of the workday, an individual virtual agenda, in which all agent collaborators described the tasks performed. The data collected allowed for the identification of the organizational structure of the office, its hierarchy, the responsibilities of agents, as well as the tasks performed by them during the two months of monitoring at each office. The research findings were based on analyses of data collected in the two offices and on comparative studies between the results of these analyses. The end result was a diagnostic evaluation that considered the level of organization and elaborated this perspective, as well as proposed solutions aimed at improving both the organization of the process and the relationships between the agents under the lens analyzed

Simulador de dano à formação, aplicado ao Projeto e à execução da perfuração de poços de petróleo

With the high oil price variability, the petroleum and the reservoir engineers are usually face to face on how they can evaluate the well performance and productivity. They can improve high productivity from the well construction to the secondary recoveries, but they have never tried a measurement in the drilling operations about the lower productivity index. As a rule, frequently the drilling operations hear from the reservoir engineering and geology that, if there is a formation damage, probably some drilling operations practices were not done properly or the good practice in petroleum engineering or mud engineering were not observed. The study in this working search is an attempt of how to measure a formation damage just from the project drilling to the drilling operations, with datum from the fields in Brazilian northeast and putting into practice a Simulator developed from the modeling on the theory offered by different experts and sources in formation damage

Indicações para o projeto arquitetônico de edifícios multifamiliares: uma análise pósocupação em Natal/RN

Confirming the Brazilian tendency in the field, the multifamily vertical condominium habitats in Natal are defined as buildings with three or more floors which have been an increasingly used solution. In the mentioned project, the connection between the projectarchitects and the user/ buyers are spread out, by which the first people conceive the realestate property as a creation for the market and not the individual client in specific. Such situation along with technical and financial limitations of the project lead to the adoption of standard solutions to be utilized by clients with different profiles. Besides that, there are various legal and urban parameters by the City Director Plan showing elements of great influence in the final solution adopted by the mentioned edifices. Moving to this subject in general, this project is focused on the case study of the Ed. Ville de Montpellier, having as a base of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), considered an efficient tool to analyze and keep up with the progress of the construction of the building, including technical approvals, the application of surveys with the local residents and the creation of informal interviews. The data shows that with time some items that initially motivated the acquisition of the realestate property (with a social common area) move to being less valued, and that the residents quickly alter the pre constructed space, thus seeking to alter the property in a more personal and conforming manner. The possibility of a new emphasis for projects on the mentioned space should also be in discussion, the created project calls for the attention of projected conceptual aspects and interdependence within project and construction which permits the indication of some recommendations for the projection of multifamily residential buildings within the studied realm

Simulação computacional como ferramenta de auxílio ao projeto: aplicação em edifícios naturalmente ventilados no clima de Natal/RN

Natural air ventilation is the most import passive strategy to provide thermal comfort in hot and humid climates and a significant low energy strategy. However, the natural ventilated building requires more attention with the architectural design than a conventional building with air conditioning systems, and the results are less reliable. Therefore, this thesis focuses on softwares and methods to predict the natural ventilation performance from the point of view of the architect, with limited resource and knowledge of fluid mechanics. A typical prefabricated building was modelled due to its simplified geometry, low cost and occurrence at the local campus. Firstly, the study emphasized the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, to simulate the air flow outside and inside the building. A series of approaches were developed to make the simulations possible, compromising the results fidelity. Secondly, the results of CFD simulations were used as the input of an energy tool, to simulate the thermal performance under different rates of air renew. Thirdly, the results of temperature were assessed in terms of thermal comfort. Complementary simulations were carried out to detail the analyses. The results show the potentialities of these tools. However the discussions concerning the simplifications of the approaches, the limitations of the tools and the level of knowledge of the average architect are the major contribution of this study

Projeto raia de fogo: aspectos populacionais da raia de fogo (Dasyatis marianae Gomes, Rosa & Gadig, 2000) e pesca de elasmobrânquios no complexo recifal do Parracho de Maracajaú

The species Dasyatis marianae inhabits coastal areas associated with coral reefs, considered endemic to the northeast of Brazil, occurring from the State of Maranhão to the south of Bahia. Specimens of this species are commonly sighted by divers and fishermen in the area of Maracajaú reefs, a complex reef that is part of the Environmental Protection Area of Coral Reefs (EPACR), which was developed in this study about the ecology and biology of the D. marianae, in order to characterize aspects of population structure in the area of the reef complex of Parracho de Maracajaú. We analyzed 120 specimens caught by artisanal fishing site of the size, weight, sex, stage of maturity and stomach contents. Most subjects were adult males (1.7:1) and was more abundant for rays with lengths between 25 and 29cm of LD, where females reach larger sizes, a feature common to other rays. The largest specimens were captured in the area of seagrass, which is preferred for the species. The distribution of species in the area showed an ontogenetic and sexual segregation, where the youthful occur near the beach, which is a likely area for nursery and growth of the adult females prevail in the seagrass, which apparently has a high prey availability, and Adult males are more distant, a higher proportion occurring in outlying areas, suggesting a habit more exploratory than the females. The evaluation of the reproductive system indicated 3 reproductive cycles per year, one young per pregnancy, and showed that the mature males were smaller than females. The cubs of D. marianae size at birth 12 to 15cm LD. As for diet, the species was characterized as carnivorous crustacean specialist. The performance of visual censuses in different localities allowed to evaluate the density of D. marianae in different environments of the complex. The species occurs in greater numbers in seagrass, environment very important for the conservation of the species. 100 individuals of D. marianae marked in reef complex area enrolled in a recapture rate of 3%. Some behavioral aspects were evaluated, as diurnal pattern of activity, interaction with cleaning and fish Pomacanthus paru followers as Lutjanus analis and Carangoides bartholomaei. Overall, much of the information obtained should be used for management of the species

Projeto, construção e análise de um prototipo vibracional em escala de bancada aplicável ao tratamento de água de produção de petróleo bruto, mediante inovadora operação híbrida de adsorção e auto-flotação

A self-flotator vibrational prototype electromechanical drive for treatment of oil and water emulsion or like emulsion is presented and evaluated. Oil production and refining to obtain derivatives is carried out under arrangements technically referred to as on-shore and off-shore, ie, on the continent and in the sea. In Brazil 80 % of the petroleum production is taken at sea and area of deployment and it cost scale are worrisome. It is associated, oily water production on a large scale, carrier 95% of the potential pollutant of activity whose final destination is the environment medium, terrestrial or maritime. Although diversified set of techniques and water treatment systems are in use or research, we propose an innovative system that operates in a sustainable way without chemical additives, for the good of the ecosystem. Labyrinth adsor-bent is used in metal spirals, and laboratory scale flow. Equipment and process patents are claimed. Treatments were performed at different flow rates and bands often monitored with control systems, some built, other bought for this purpose. Measurements of the levels of oil and grease (OGC) of efluents treaty remained within the range of legal framework under test conditions. Adsorbents were weighed before and after treatment for obtaining oil impregna-tion, the performance goal of vibratory action and treatment as a whole. Treatment technolo-gies in course are referenced, to compare performance, qualitatively and quantitatively. The vibration energy consumption is faced with and without conventional flotation and self-flotation. There are good prospects for the proposed, especially in reducing the residence time, by capillary action system. The impregnation dimensionless parameter was created and confronted with consecrated dimensionless parameters, on the vibrational version, such as Weber number and Froude number in quadratic form, referred to as vibrational criticality. Re-sults suggest limits to the vibration intensity

Encalhes de Cetáceos ocorridos no período de 1984 a 2005 no litoral do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil

Strandings of live or dead aquatic mammals constitute an important instrument to provide information regarding the occurrence, biology and ecology of these species. The aim of this study was to register the stranded species of cetaceans, the frequency and the spatial-temporal distribution of theses strandings during the period of 1984 to 2005, in the coast of Rio Grande do Norte. Data was acquired through the monitoring of strandings in the north, north-west and south coast of RN, and through information obtained from institutions and newspaper archives of the State. A total of 122 strandings of cetaceans were registered along the coast of Rio Grande do Norte. Of the 14 species of cetaceans registered, four species had higher frequencies: Sotalia guianensis (n= 65), Steno bredanensis (n = 6), Globicephala macrorhynchus (n = 6) and Physeter macrocephalus (n = 7). Out of 118 strandings, 93 occurred in the south coast (78.8 %), 23 in the north coast (19.5%) and 2 (1.7%) in the north-west coast of the State. The highest frequency of strandings occurred during the months of August to March and the maximum number of strandings occurred from 2000 onwards, as a consequence of the intense monitoring of the Pequenos Cetáceos Project in Rio Grande do Norte

Avaliação da concentração de metais na água nos eixos de captação do projeto de integração do rio S. Francisco com bacias hidrográficas do nordeste setentrional

A análise de metais pesados é um aspecto bastante relevante na avaliação da qualidade da água destinada ao consumo humano, pois tais elementos, dependendo de sua concentração, causam graves problemas à saúde humana. Para minimizar o problema na demanda de água da região do semiárido nordestino, foi criado o Projeto de Integração do rio São Francisco com as Bacias Hidrográficas do Nordeste Setentrional, que constará de dois canais de transposição de água: eixos Norte e Leste. Nesta pesquisa foi analisada a concentração dos metais Cd, Pb, Ni, Zi, Cu e Fe nos pontos de captação dos referidos eixos durante os anos de 2012 a 2014 em amostras de superfície e fundo. Dentre os metais analisados, a grande maioria teve resultados abaixo dos limites da Resolução CONAMA 357/2005. Apenas o cobre apresentou valores de mediana superior ao limite da legislação no ponto de captação do Eixo Leste (reservatório de Itaparica) no período seco. Isto sugere novas pesquisas para identificar a causa dos aportes de cobre no reservatório de Itaparica,visando garantir a boa qualidade da água a ser transposta para outras regiões através do Canal Leste.

Intercâmbio de experiências e levantamento de demandas ergonômicas em unidades de beneficiamento de frutos do cerrado, mandioca e café em comunidades do Norte de Minas Gerais.

Este relato descreve a experiência realizada por meio de uma parceria entre o Projeto Rio Pardo, da Embrapa Cerrados e a Escola Politécnica/USP, visando inserir a questão do trabalho agrícola familiar nas ações desenvolvidas junto aos agricultores de três comunidades de Rio Pardo de Minas/MG, produtoras de frutos do cerrado, goma/farinha de mandioca e café sombreado. O objetivo foi levantar possíveis demandas ergonômicas existentes nestas unidades de produção, que estão implantando agroindústrias familiares para realizar o beneficiamento da produção. As demandas relacionam-se a problemas com a produção, a organização do trabalho e a saúde dos trabalhadores. Percebe-se a coexistência do saber tradicional, transmitido entre gerações, com a inovação em termos de maquinário e instalações. Há diversos arranjos produtivos presentes, fruto da criatividade e sabedoria aplicada dos agricultores. Estas inovações podem ser o embrião de projetos futuros de novos maquinários e arranjos produtivos. Trata-se de fazer comunicar dois saberes, dos projetistas e dos usuários, contribuindo para que estes últimos possam ser empoderados no papel de criadores de inovações, contribuindo para a incorporação de aspectos ergonômicos na evolução dos equipamentos e instalações. Abstract: This report describes the experience carried out through a partnership between Project ? Rio Pardo ?, Embrapa Cerrados/DF and the Polytechnic School of USP, in order to put the issue of family farm labor in the actions developed by farmers in three communities of Rio Pardo de Minas, north of Minas Gerais. The main products are fruits of the cerrado, cassava starch and manioc flour and shaded coffee. The initial goal was to raise possible these existing ergonomic demands of family farming units, which are in the process of implementation of family agri-industries to undertake the processing and beneficiation production. The ergonomic demands are related to production problems with the organization of work and the health of farm workers. In preliminary analyzes, it was possible to perceive the coexistence of traditional knowledge transmitted between generations, with innovation in terms of machinery and facilities. There are several productive arrangements, result of creativity and knowledge of farmers. These innovations, developed by who performs the work, may be the starting point for future designs of new machinery and productive arrangements. It could demonstrated the importance of communication between two knowledge, from the designers and from the users (farmers), contributing to the latter to be empowered in their role as creators of innovation and contributing to the incorporation of ergonomic aspects in the context of setting up their equipment.

Análise exploratória da fertilidade do solo das Regiões Norte, Noroeste e Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.

O conhecimento dos atributos químicos dos solos é um fator de grande relevância, visando a utilização racional de corretivos e fertilizante. Assim, neste trabalho estão sendo caracterizados ambientes da região Norte, Noroeste e Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, para fins de estimativas de carbono orgânico (Corg), capacidade de troca catiônica (CTC), pH em água, alumínio trocável (Al+3), nitrogênio, saturação por bases (V%) e fósforo. Tendo como objetivo específico à análise exploratória dos dados de fertilidade do solo das três regiões mais produtivas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Neste projeto foram usados os dados de solos sistematizados pela Embrapa Solos (Santos et al., 2005). Os solos analisados apresentam baixo pH em água e altos teores em Al+3, bem como baixas concentrações de P, N e C orgânico. Os valores de CTC e V (%) foram considerados bons para a fertilidade do solo. A análise exploratória dos dados identificou outliers e valores extremos, pela análise do sumário estatístico e dos gráficos box-plot das variáveis. A retirada destes últimos melhorou muito a consistência do conjunto remanescente, o que permite antever uma melhor qualidade dos resultados de interpolações por krigagem a serem realizadas e o próprio mapeamento digital da fertilidade, de acordo com McBratney et al. (2003). A análise exploratória mostrou-se útil para as próximas fases de mapeamento digital de solo-paisagem e a recomendação de adubação a ser proposta.

GRUTA DOS BREJÕES: PERSPECTIVA DE INSERÇÃO DA GRUTA E DA COMUNIDADE DE VEREDINHA NO ROTEIRO TURÍSTICO DA CHAPADA DIAMANTINA NORTE-BA

No mundo moderno, onde os lugares estão conectados por laços cada vez mais fortes e duradouros, ainda existem lugares que permanecem longe dessas conexões, o caso exemplificado neste trabalho, a comunidade quilombola de Veredinha e a caverna dos Brejões, no município de Morro do Chapéu-BA, que já está dentro de uma rota turística traçada pelo governo baiano no seu Planejamento Para o Século XXI, denominada Chapada Norte que é apenas citada sem nenhum projeto ou investimento para o desenvolvimento de atividades de turismo. As rotas turísticas contempladas, com projetos e investimentos, são as áreas litorâneas, ao passo que tanto o município de Morro do Chapéu quanto a comunidade que vive na APA dos Brejões não tiveram qualquer estudo feito no sentido da inserção neste setor, que é uma atividade que pode trazer benéficos as populações carente de áreas com potencial turístico. No processo de organização do espaço turístico é importante ressaltar que os agentes produtores do espaço geralmente são ignorados a exemplo do que vem ocorrendo com outras áreas da Chapada Diamantina, o município de Lençóis é um desses, em que a população autóctone ficou à margem dos benefícios criados com o ecoturismo. A proposta de inserir a comunidade de Veredinha nesse filão é baseada na nova premissa que é o turismo sustentável de base local, uma atividade considerada de baixo impacto, que além de melhorar o padrão de vida dos moradores locais ainda vai ajudar a proteger a caverna do risco de danos ou mesmo sua destruição.

CONFIGURAÇÃO DA AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR NO PROJETO JAÍBA EM CINQUENTA ANOS DE EXISTÊNCIA

A atual configuração da agricultura familiar dentro do perímetro do Projeto Jaíba é resultado de uma política desenvolvimentista pensada e implantada sem a participação popular. Tal configuração se apresenta com serias distorções levando o agricultor familiar ao endividamento e uma postura passiva com relação à organização social, ficando assim afastado das instancias decisórias. Este fato foi determinante para uma conjuntura onde o insucesso e o abandono estão presentes ,ainda que uma extraordinária estrutura tenha sido implantada nesta área.Este trabalho propõe a análise da agricultura familiar no projeto Jaíba a partir de um estudo sobre a atual paisagem da área destinada ao pequeno produtor. Para tanto, utilizamos como metodologia uma revisão bibliográfica, bem como a visita in locus para melhor analisar o projeto e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Inicialmente foi feito um levantamento histórico da implantação do projeto na região semi-árida do Norte de Minas. Posteriormente, foram feitas comparações entre os dados colhidos em campo por meio de pesquisa qualitativa, com as teorias apresentadas por diversos autores que trabalham nesta linha de pesquisa. Os resultados desta análise já nos permitem algumas conclusões. A pesquisa atualmente encontra-se em andamento.
