After Morse finished speaking with reporters today, he literally skipped from the center of the Nationals clubhouse to his locker. So, no, his 2-for-17, six-strikeout start to the season has not gotten him down.
The Nationals gave Morse a day off to "let him step back," Manager Jim Riggleman said, and "maybe getting him a day to breathe," hitting coach Rick Eckstein said. Morse may be too excited or anxious in his new role, and it shows in how he's hitting.
Morse is at his best when he's using his power to the opposite field, smashing line drives to right-center. He hit a handful of his nine spring training home runs to right, particularly when he started spring 15 for 29. When he descended into an extended hitless slump following his sizzling start, Morse made most of his outs the way he's making them now – pounding the ball into the ground to the third baseman and shortstop.
"I'm seeing the ball way too out-in-front right now," Morse said. "I'm probably a little over-anxious. I just need to let the ball travel a little deeper and hit it the other way."
In the batting cage before batting practice, Morse today worked on staying back. On the field for batting practice, he chatted with veteran Matt Stairs, who is something of a hitting mentor for several Nationals, including Jayson Werth.
"His comfort in the box has escaped him," Eckstein said. "He's trying to get comfortable back in the box. He's been on that same cycle. Today, working with him, doing his thing, he looks much better, much more in control of himself. It's a comfort thing."
Morse understands that if his 2-for-17 stretch happened in, say, June, few people would notice. But since it's the only stats he's got, it stands out. It also hasn't helped that he's 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position. Getting out of slumps, he realizes, is part of his new role as an everyday player.
"Playing every day, you're going to have ups and downs," Morse said. "Not playing every day, usually your downs, you're trying to think about the next time you're going to play. Knowing that I get an opportunity to play every day, I just take these couple of 0-fer days and just build off of them, look at what they did to get me out, and know I'll be in there tomorrow.
"I just need to calm down, be myself. Just play. It's something I'm not worried about. I know that I can hit, and I know that I'll turn things around. We all want to start off with a great start. I'll start when we play the Mets."

Plans to revitalise St Annes seafront with a landmark new restaurant have had to be put back until the new year.
Veli Kirk, proprietor of the hugely-successful Anatolia Turkish eaterie in the town centre, had been hoping a 'big sister' restaurant overlooking the Irish Sea at The Island complex would be open by now.
But investigations following a leak revealed damage to the roof which will require several months' work to repair – and further substantial financial outlay.
However, Veli, who is already spending what he says is a substantial six-figure sum on the project, reckons it could cost up to £90,00 to rectify.
But he is as determined as ever to make a success of the new eaterie.
"At first, when I heard about the extra work that was needed, I was upset – but it hasn't dampened my enthusiasm at all, and it will all be well worthwhile when it is completed," he said.
"The kitchen is fitted out, the furniture is ready to be brought in, but I am now liaising with builders to see how long the work will take. I have heard indications it could be 16 weeks, so I am now looking at the new year for opening."
The new restaurant, to be named Anatolia Seaview, will have four times the capacity of the 34-cover Anatolia, which Veli opened in Park Road in 2010.
He plans an extended Mediterranean menu and aims to make the most of the seafront setting, with tables outdoors on the balcony in good weather.
"It will happen and we really want to make a success of this," he said. "There is so much potential in that area, and I hope it will help boost that area. I love St Annes and I want to do everything I can to make the town successful."
St Annes Mayor Coun Ed Nash said: "I am sorry to hear about the delay to Veli's plans, but he is a determined man who is a real force for good in the town, and if anyone can make a success of this project, he can."

text: hi So, I was wondering as I sit on the floor in the bathroom watching difficult child in the bath....... does anyone else find that they have to assist their difficult child (younger difficult child's) with baths, or more importantly showers??? I on occassion will be allowed to leave the bathroom to go into another room while she is in the shower. Yet most of the time she requires me in very close proximity. Does anyone find shower/bath time a problem? I also have to literally force difficult child into one. She hates them, and especially washing her hair. She thinks she is going to drown in the shower. Yet during summertime she's jumping around in the pool??? anyway was just wondering. Hope everyone had a calmer day today

Microsoft had previously offered a teaser of an upcoming Microsoft Lumia Smartphone.
The Smartphone will be the first to bear the Microsoft Lumia branding, which is part of the Nokia Lumia – Microsoft Lumia transition.
What you need to know: Nokia Lumia to Microsoft Lumia Transition
Well, word around is that the new Smartphone is none other than the Microsoft Lumia 535.
The Lumia 53x series has been the best performing in terms of sales in the Nokia Lumia family and it makes perfect sense to have the first Microsoft Lumia device from the series.
Check out the Microsoft Lumia 535 Specs Sheet
Display: 5 inches qHD
Screen Resolution: 540 x 960 pixels
CPU: 1.2GHz quad-core
Internal Memory: 8GB
Rear Camera: 5 MP
Battery Capacity: 1,900 mAh
Extras: Dual SIM support
Color: Black, White, Gray, Blue, Orange, Blue, and Green
It looks like the Microsoft Lumia 535 will be a slightly improved version of the Nokia Lumia 530. This is in terms of a larger display (an inch larger) and a bigger battery.
The images above are those of a dummy device, but they give an accurate illustration of the Microsoft Lumia 535 design. It isn't hard to miss the conspicuous Microsoft Logo on the upper and rear side of the device.

The Urban Youth Policy is a document of the Honiara City Council that sets out the plan and direction for young people in Honiara for 4 years. It is aimed to address the needs of young men and women between the ages of 14 and 29 who live, study, work or visit Honiara City.
Why create a specific policy for young people in Honiara?
The policy is created, because:
- It formalizes Honiara City Council's position on young people
- It links youth issues into Honiara City Council's formal decision making processes
- It provides an avenue where young people, the community, key stakeholders and the Honiara City Council can collectively work in addressing youth issues.
When was it created?
The first Honiara Urban Youth Policy was formulated and developed in 2006; it was revised and relaunched in August 2011, with an Action Plan guiding the Council's implementation.
The policy is reviewed after every four years, to keep up with and address current youth issues in the city.
The Urban Youth Policy aspires to promote youth agenda at all levels through Honiara City Council and relevant key stakeholders, by ensuring Young people are equal partners. Resources and opportunities are made available for youth empowerment and development.
Policy Goals
- Realize the full potential and abilities of youth to participate in formal and informal education, training and access to entrepreneurship opportunities.
- Develop a strong youth sector as a platform to participate in the establishment of a Honiara Youth Council comprised of representatives from both a ward and community level.
- Maximize the social development of youth by providing and creating opportunities to participate in cultural and sporting activities.
- Ensure young people have access to health education, providing mental and physical support for themselves and their families.
- Ensure young women are equally included and involved in governance, education and employment.
To know more about the Urban Youth Policy or the work of the Youth Division, please visit us at the Multi-purpose Hall, Lawson Tama Area or Contact the Youth Division on phone: 22496.

- The company is applying this eco-design approach to the development of products currently underway. As an example, the design of the new VIDAS® 3 takes into account:
- the choice of low-energy consumption components,

- the choice of more environmentally friendly materials for instrument casing and packaging,
- the reduction of the number of paper printouts, through:
- condensed printing formats,
- the optimization of print data,
- user-friendly software that facilitates access to on-screen information.

Tate Shop Offers 4 for 3 Christmas cards Tate Christmas Card Danti Gabriel Rossetti Dantis Amor (Pack of 10)
This painted panel decorated one of three cupboard doors that formed the upper part of a large settle belonging to William Morris. The subject of all three panels was Beatrice Portinari, for whom the medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri nurtured an enduring but unrequited love, as recounted in the Vita Nuova. Rossetti was fascinated by Dantes story-which he translated for his own publication, The Early Italian Poets (1864) - and saw in it a parallel with his own love for Lizzie Siddal.
Message inside reads Season's Greetings. Pack of 10 cards of the same design with brown kraft envelopes.

Experiencing Traditional Herbal Remedies
Today is the second and final day of the yearly Yangnyeongsi Herb Medicine Culture Festival (서울약령시 한방문화축제) up north at the Yangnyeongsi Herb Medicine Market in Dongdaemun.
Every fall since 1995, this event has taken place to celebrate the history and the effectiveness of traditional herbal remedies. Tents are set up along the main thoroughfare to educate visitors foreign and Korean on different traditional medicines and practices including herbal remedies, acupuncture and massage and it's all free. Yesterday, people seemed very interested in getting me and the group I was with involved as we were probably 4 of the only 25 or so foreigners that made it to the event all day. There are tents specifically set up for foreigners only to make soap, get a massage and get a facial treatment among other things. At one point while we were making our very own soap a couple of older Korean women walked up and said they'd like to make some soap as well. The people in charge said it was just for foreigners to which the women responded by saying they were Chinese, though they clearly were not. There really wasn't much harm in them taking part as there weren't enough foreigners to fill the tent anyway. It seems to be a stop most people don't make on trips around the city but just for the photo-ops and colorful bags of herbs that line the sidewalks, it's worth a visit.
Tents give visitors the opportunity to try different teas, juices and coffees and make their own traditional Korean food to eat and enjoy. The most enjoyable experience for us were the free medical consultations.
We answered numerous questions on our health and then we were presented with opportunities to get special tea concoctions specifically made for us, different kinds of acupuncture and so on depending on what ailed us. I have been suffering from lower back and hip pain, due to being eight months pregnant I would imagine. I have never had acupuncture, but I can say that last night was the best sleep I've had in weeks and this morning much less pain in my back and hips. I'm a believer. It is a great opportunity to learn more about your body, oriental medical treatments and experience some of the benefits and all of it is free. If you have nothing on the agenda today, get out and enjoy this event!Address:

PSNI officer cleared of assaulting delivery driver
A PSNI officer has been cleared of pushing a delivery driver so hard that the door of his van was ripped from its hinges.
The officer was also accused of banging the driver's head against a telegraph pole and stamping on his hand.
But following an investigation by the Police Ombudsman, the complaint was rejected.
The alleged incident happened in Larne in February 2016 after police stopped the man and two others as they were making deliveries in the town.
An investigator for the police oversight body interviewed those involved and reviewed police records, including a report by a police doctor who examined the driver in police custody following his arrest.
The report noted he had a cut to his forehead and swelling on a hand.
The officers involved denied assaulting him. They said the man had become verbally and physically abusive and had kicked out as they tried to restrain him against a wall to handcuff him.
An officer also reported the man had struck him with the van door as he got out of the vehicle, and had himself caused it to come off its hinges by opening it so aggressively.
Of the five witnesses to the incident - three officers and two civilians - only one supported the driver's account that police had damaged his van and assaulted him.
None supported his claim that an officer stood on his hand when he went to pick up his phone.
The Police Ombudsman investigator concluded, on the balance of evidence, that the complaint was not substantiated.

Philanthropy is a human business
The Alliance for Business Leadership's Chris Pinney calls Corporate Social Responsibility "the new essential for business strategy and success in the 21st century." WINGS Managing Editor Chris de la Torre sat with Pinney to recap the evolution of CSR, and to lay out plans for what philanthropists and corporate grantmakers need to make it work. "There are still a lot of companies that are way back in terms of their development of this kind of approach. And the same thing can be said for not-for-profits. One could argue the majority of not-for-profits just see business as a source of cash, so they miss the bigger equation altogether. Philanthropy is a human business. It's built around relationships." more »

The services will make international giving easier and more affordable for the entire philanthropic community, lowering the barriers to cross-border giving. more »

What is TAA?
TAA essentially provides that agencies of The United States Government may acquire only "U.S. made or designated country end products." The Act requires contractors to certify that each end product meets the applicable requirements. "End products" are defined as "those articles, materials and supplies to be acquired from certain designated (foreign) countries with which the United States has negotiated a trade agreement where the procurement is valued in excess of a specified dollar threshold (see FAR 25.402). Under the current Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), products and construction materials derived from a Trade Agreement "designated country" must be manufactured or "substantially transformed" within that country (see FAR 25.4, 52.225-5, 52.225-11). "Non-designated countries" include several countries that are major suppliers of goods or services to the U.S. market such as: China, India, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Three judges in two courts know what mediation is
To elaborate and present to the Government
the bill on mediation not later than February 2008
(Action plan aimed at realization of the foreground
tasks of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine for 2008)
There are activities plans adopted by the Ukrainian state bodies that envisage the development of mediation as one of the most effective instruments of alternative dispute resolution. Several times mediation was mentioned in governmental programs. It means that the mediation is well-known among statesmen.
However, how it may happen in that case that the Ukrainian courts' decisions mention "mediation" only as a way of conciliation between a victim and a criminal. There are only eight judgments in criminal cases passed by three judges in two courts (Kyiv and Poltava Regions) where that instrument mentioned.
5 reasons why mediation is not developed in Ukraine
Although arbitration and mediation are both forms of alternative dispute resolution and the second one is popularized by several institutions in Ukraine it still may not be treated as a competitor to arbitration.

ONE of rugby league's most respected champions, Steve Mortimer, has appealed to new NRL boss Dave Smith not to allow Josh Dugan to play for St George Illawarra this year.
The Canterbury great last night phoned The Daily Telegraph off his own bat so he could get out his message to Smith before the NRL decided when Dugan would be allowed to return.
Many are predicting Dugan could be back within weeks but an NRL spokesman last night said St George Illawarra had not applied for a contract to be registered.
NRL welfare officers have already spent several weeks working with Dugan to monitor his progress since he was sacked by Canberra in mid-March.
Mortimer said allowing Dugan to play for St George Illawarra this year would send the wrong message to the Canberra Raiders and it would also damage the integrity of the game.
"The reason I have done this is because we have got to look after the integrity of rugby league," Mortimer said last night.
"We have to send a message out to our members and the people that love the game - even the people that don't love the game - that rugby league has integrity.
"It would just be so wrong if Josh Dugan was allowed back this year."
Mortimer said the Raiders showed great strength by putting aside Dugan's footballing ability to do what they believed was the right thing for the club and the game.
"He was on a lot of money at the Raiders. He stuffed up. Canberra put in a report to the NRL and now it looks like he will be allowed to earn the same sort of money in the same year. It is wrong," Mortimer said.
"The bloke needs to be stood down for the year and if he has problems get him help.
"But because of what he has done to the Raiders I just think it is appropriate that he is not allowed to participate for this year."
Asked why he felt so strongly about allowing Dugan back, Mortimer said: "The game is the greatest game of all but we need to show integrity. We need to show that we are doing the right thing by the clubs and the players and the fans.
"I have got my hand up here for the game. Helping him certainly is not allowing him to go to another club. If anything that shows a lack of integrity or credibility."

Gastric Bypass Surgery
    A 36-year old female gastric bypass patient left a party after having only two alcoholic beverages, drove her car into oncoming traffic, causing the death of a 12-year old child. Her blood alcohol level was above the legal limit for the operation of a motor vehicle and was far higher than would have been expected from the two alcoholic beverages she claimed to have consumed. Was the patient telling the truth about the amount of alcohol she drank at the party or did her surgery affect the way her body absorbed or metabolized the alcohol?
    A recent study reported in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that the gastric bypass procedure significantly affects alcohol absorption and its inebriating influence. According to the study protocol, a group of gastric bypass patients, three years post-surgery, and their non-surgical controls consumed an alcoholic drink containing 20% v/v alcohol (95% ethanol), and blood alcohol levels were examined over a period of time. The data showed that blood alcohol levels of the gastric bypass patients were far higher and required much less time to peak than those of the non-surgical controls.
    The more rapid absorption of alcohol and heightened blood alcohol levels would cause the bariatric patient to have a more pronounced feeling of inebriation during and shortly after drinking. And, such effects could have serious ramifications with regard to driving an automobile or performing other skilled tasks such as operating heavy machinery, piloting a plane or any other task that may influence the safety of the individual or that of others.
    Why would alcohol absorption be higher for someone who has had gastric bypass (or any other surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and bypasses the upper portion of the gut)? With the gastric bypass procedure, 95% of the stomach and the upper gut (duodenum and a portion of the jejunum) are bypassed. Alcohol passes directly from the stomach pouch, usually without restriction, into the second portion of the gut, known as the jejunum. This portion of the gut has a large surface area and readily and rapidly absorbs the alcohol.
    In addition to anatomical changes in the GI tract that influence alcohol absorption, the gastric bypass patient (or any bariatric patient) may also be more sensitive to the intoxicating effects of alcohol because of the reduced calorie intake that occurs after surgery. A number of studies have found that alcohol absorption is far higher if fasting or when consumed on an empty stomach than if provided with a meal or drank soon thereafter.
    During the first several months following gastric bypass or any other bariatric surgical procedure, total daily calorie intake is quite low. Drinking alcohol, even small amounts, at this time, would increase significantly an individuals risk for intoxication.
    In the rapid weight loss period following bariatric surgery, alcohol consumption could have far more serious consequences than inebriation, namely brain damage, coma and death. How is this possible?
    Muscle, heart, liver and other tissues use fat and sugar (glucose) for fuel. The brain, however, requires sugar (glucose) to function. To avoid low sugar, the body stores sugar in the form of glycogen. However, glycogen stores can be depleted in a short period of time with prolonged work or exercise, starvation or a diet low in carbohydrate. When this happens, the body has two back-ups mechanisms that help to provide the brain and nervous system the sugar required to function.
    One of the mechanisms whereby sugar is produced is a process called gluconeogenesis, a chemical pathway that converts certain components of protein, lactic acid and other substances into sugar. Fat cannot be converted into sugar. However, the production of sugar by gluconeogenesis is run by energy produced by the incomplete breakdown of fat into ketone bodies via a process known as ketosis.
    Ketone bodies can be used by all tissues, including the brain, for fuel. And, ketones can also be converted into sugar via gluconeogenesis. In this way, the brain and nervous system can function normally, even during times of low calorie intake, such as during the rapid weight loss period following bariatric surgery.
    The production of ketones is what causes the sweet or distinct smell in the urine and on the breaths of bariatric patients during the rapid weight loss period after surgery. And, during this time, it is extremely important that alcohol NOT be consumed. Why?
    Alcohol inhibits gluconeogenesis and ketosis. This means the brain and nerves are depleted of the fuel needed to function. The consequences of such fuel depletion initially are disorientation, confusion, semi-consciousness, coma and, ultimately, death. The detrimental effects of alcohol on the brains fuel supply can also cause accidents, such as the hypothetical situation described below.
    A bariatric patient, four weeks after surgery, had a couple of drinks and drove to the post office. But, instead of walking into the post office to get her mail, she drove her car through the front window. She claimed to have "blacked out" before the accident and had no memory of the event. People standing by said she was disoriented and, presumably, intoxicated. Fortunately, someone provided her a beverage containing sugar that helped her to regain full consciousness, preventing coma or even death, as well as an evening in jail.
    Drinking alcohol in the early postoperative period may have other adverse effects on health. Frequent vomiting, low calorie intake, not taking multivitamins and malabsorption may cause a number of vitamin and mineral deficits, including thiamin. Alcohol further reduces the absorption of thiamin, causing severe deficits and a condition known as Beriberi (see May 2003 issue of Beyond Change). Beriberi, in turn, may cause congestive heart failure, nerve damage, muscle cramping and pain, crippling, brain damage, a loss of memory and inability to learn, confusion, disorientation, coma and death.
    Addiction transfer is yet another precaution to be considered with regard to alcohol. The prevalence of food addiction and associated eating abnormalities, i.e. binge eating, carbohydrate cravings, are high among individuals with morbid obesity. With bariatric surgery, the addictive tendencies for food and aberrant eating behavior are considerably improved. However, individuals with addictions often transfer their addiction to yet another substance, such as alcohol. According to the findings of one study, addiction transfer may occur in up to 25% of bariatric patients.
    Drinking alcohol after surgery may also reduce maximal weight loss success. Alcohol has no nutrient benefits and contains high numbers of calories that may cause weight gain or prevent weight loss. One 12-ounce can of beer, for instance, contains 150 calories; 3.5 ounces of wine contains 70 calories; 1.5 ounces of gin, rum, vodka or whiskey contains between 97 and 124 calories; and 1.5 ounces of liquer contains 160 calories.
    Based on all the information provided above, should the bariatric patient abstain from alcohol totally? The bariatric patient should absolutely NOT drink alcohol during the rapid weight loss period and definitely not if consuming no or low carbohydrates, not taking vitamin and mineral supplements, vomiting frequently, or not able to keep their food down. However, with time, there is no reason an individual should not be able to enjoy an occasional drink, provided they are aware that it only takes a small amount of alcohol to produce an inebriating effect. With such knowledge, appropriate precautions should be taken, such as waiting a sufficient length of time after drinking to drive or perform other skilled tasks.Written by Allen Trapp who is board certified by the National College for DUI Defense and the author of Georgia DUI Survival Guide Visit Website

SUNDERLAND'S new landmark bridge is to become a reality.
Today civic leaders, MPs, leading businessmen and women and Wearsiders welcomed the announcement that will change the face of the city and bring thousands of jobs.
Department for Transport (DfT) chiefs have confirmed an £82.5million grant that will help make the much-touted "iconic bridge" project a reality.
And work could begin as early as next year, with the new crossing due to open to traffic as early as 2015.
Plans for the new bridge have been on the drawing board since the 1980s but there had been fears the Government's wave of public sector spending cuts had killed off the project.
But Sunderland City Council put in a bid for funding in September after the Government said that £630million was being made available for local authority projects that could help boost economic growth and create jobs.
The council believes the project – which will link Castletown on the north bank of the Wear to Pallion on the south – will generate £4 in economic benefit for every £1 it costs.
Coun Paul Watson, leader of Sunderland City Council, said: "The investment in a strategic infrastructure scheme will open up regeneration sites along the River Wear and bring forward investment to Sunderland.
"We see this project as an integral part of Sunderland's ongoing regeneration as it can help create thousands of new jobs by improving links between the A19, the city centre and the Port of Sunderland.
"This announcement is great news for Sunderland and the wider region.
"There has been talk for a long time that Sunderland has needed a major new road crossing over the River Wear.
"This is an issue that has not gone away and I know the city and region is grateful for this opportunity to start work on this landmark project.
"The bold design of the new bridge is architecturally significant; it will become a confident and symbolic landmark for Sunderland and the North East.
"We can now look to a major development that adds to Sunderland's vibrancy and furthers the regeneration of our city."
Subject to the outcome of a public inquiry on Compulsory Purchase Orders, work on tenders and contracts could start in the new year with on-site and construction works beginning later in 2012.
Some of Wearside's most prominent business leaders believe the project will play a key role in boosting the city's fortunes.
James Ramsbotham, chief executive of the North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC), said: "This project will help to unlock growth and enterprise while contributing to the regeneration of key parts of the city."
Gary Hutchinson, chairman of the chamber's Sunderland committee, said: "Obviously, after much work behind the scenes and previous disappointments, it is excellent to see such a landmark development being approved by the Government.
"This type of development will not only enhance the city but will attract much-needed inward investment. This is excellent news to mark the end of what has not been the best 2011 in terms of the economy."
News that both the new bridge across the Wear and a northern bypass for Morpeth were to go ahead was greeted with relief by the North East civil engineering industry.
The industry had warned that it faced potential "catastrophic collapse" in the region unless both projects were approved before the end of the year.
Paul Woolston, chairman of the North Eastern Local Enterprise Partnership, said: "Greater connectivity through Sunderland from the A19 is a boost not only to Sunderland but for the rest of the North East.
"As the development of the North East's Low Carbon Economic Zone gathers pace the new bridge, which is close to the designated A19 corridor, will be a boost for construction, will open up more land in our region for development and improve links to the city centre, south bank of the River Wear and the Port of Sunderland."

Facts and Figures
* The bridge is designed by North East architect Stephen Spence in association with structural engineers Techniker
* It will be the tallest bridge in England and Wales, with the highest tower measuring 187m
* The length of the bridge deck is 336m
* The width of the bridge deck is 30m
* The bridge will carry four lanes of traffic – two in each direction – and have dedicated pedestrian and cycle ways
* The construction timetable is 2012 – 2015
* The new bridge and roads total 3.2km in length

Field of the Invention The invention relates generally to secondary recovery processes for earth deposits of petroleum product and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, it relates to an improved secondary recovery process for withdrawing high viscosity petroleum from an earth bound pool or reservoir which is underlain by a water zone.
2. Description of the Prior Art The prior art includes various methods and types of apparatus for employ in withdrawing additional petroleum product from earth reservoirs after initial pressures have reduced, or for use when the petroleum viscosity versus bottom hole pressure relationship is such that natural flow is stopped or at least greatly reduced. There are various forms of such secondary processes such as steam injection, water flooding, alcohol injection, in situ combustion and various forms of gas injection.
One well-known form of gas injection process utilizes an input gas for dissolution of higher viscosity oil within a permeable strata whereupon constant application of nitrogen under pressure will cause migration of lowered viscosity petroleum product towards a recovery zone at an adjacent well bore. Nitrogen gas is introduced for the purpose of maintaining a relatively constant driving pressure for any gas cap produced by the injected gas, e.g. carbon dioxide. While the various recovery processes form migrating heads of petroleum product in many different compositions of strata with varying efficiency and degrees of success, none of the prior art methods has been directed to the utilization of a gravity driven cap or head which is particularly adaptable for use in a single well-bore recovery process.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention contemplates a secondary recovery process for withdrawing certain forms of petroleum product from an earth reservoir. In a more limited aspect, the invention consists of a method for injection of a gas into the upper portion of a petroleum reservoir, the gas dissolving in the petroleum liquid and thereby lowering the liquids viscosity, and the lowered viscosity petroleum liquid then moved downward under force of gravity towards a lower recovery zone in the petroleum reservoir. The lower viscosity petroleum is withdrawn from the recovery zone for processing and storage at a surface unit and, if desired or even necessitated, pressure stabilizing inert gas can also be injected from a surface storage facility in order to occupy the space voided by the lowered viscosity petroleum liquid which moved toward the recovery zone.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a recovery process which is more economical and more efficient than existing recovery processes as employed in certain recovery situations.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a secondary recovery process which can be employed with petroleum deposits which are underlain by water zones.
Finally, it is an object of the present invention to provide a secondary recovery process which may be variously employed in well pools having any of one or more well bores in communication therewith.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be evident from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a sectional, schematic representation of earth including a petroleum deposit and utilizing the recovery method of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one form of surface processing equipment which may be utilized in carrying out the method of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to FIG. 1, a section of earth 10, having a surface 12 is underlain by a permeable rock formation 14 in which the upper portion 16 is occupied by a petroleum reservoir and the lower portion 18 is occupied by water. The permeable rock formation 14 may be overlain and thereby confined by such as an impermeable formation 20 while the underside of the water bearing portion 18 is also limited by a low permeability stratum 22.
The exact materials, permeabilities and configurations of oil-bearing strata and surrounds are variable within wide limits as the present method is adjusted for whatever the applicable exigencies. The recovery method is particularly applicable to those petroleum reservoirs containing high viscosity oils present within oil-bearing strata having high rock porosities and high permeability. It is then intended that lowering of the oil viscosity by a predetermined amount followed by production removal of the oil from the reservoir without creating large pressure differentials will enable a more efficient oil recovery.
Assuming then that oil-bearing stratum 16 contains a quantity of high viscosity petroleum product which it is desirable to recover, extraction can be effected through any one of a plurality of well-bores 24, 26 and 28. The well-bores 24, 26 and 28 merely illustrate a plurality of well-bores in an established oil field or producing area, any one of which may be utilized for carrying out a secondary recovery process. Still another bore hole 30 may also be employed for purposes of pressurizing the oil-bearing stratum 16, as will be further described below.
With respect to the well-bore 24, an extraction well as employed in the method, a suitable form of petroleum soluble gas is injected down the well-bore 24 through the annular volume 32 as may be defined between casing 34 and a tubing string 36. The casing 34 will be existing structure previously set down, cemented and finished upon initial completion of the well-bore 24, and the tubing string 36 may also be the existing or prior-used oil delivery tube.
The upper reaches of oil-bearing stratum 16 along well-bore 24 are then determined so that the injected gas from annulus 32 can be directed into the oil-bearing stratum 16 at that level. Thus, the casing 34 is suitably perforated in the area 38 to allow passage of the injection gas in annulus 32 into the upper region of oil-bearing stratum 16 in the immediate surrounds of well-bore 24. Any of various dissolving gases may be employed as the injection material; however, from the standpoint of availability and economy, it is contemplated that carbon dioxide and/or a mixture of carbon dioxide and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) may be utilized to form the dissolving zone in the oil-bearing stratum 16. Where necessary, a suitable form of packer assembly 40 may be installed between tubing 36 and casing 34 immediately below the perforation area 38. Such a blocking device or equivalent is generally existant within a completed well-bore.
The dissolving gas entering through perforation area 38 into the oil-bearing stratum 16, as shown by arrows 42 near the top of the producing formation, enters the reservoir and contacts the under-saturated petroleum products to effect dissolution thereof. As the amount of gas going into solution increases, the viscosity of the petroleum will decrease, and such decreased petroleum viscosity tends to set up a gravity flow head in the area 44 which migrates downward, as shown generally by arrows 46, to a petroleum recovery zone 48 at some lower point of well-bore 24.
The action of dissolution in situ tends to create a condition of increasing volume of lowered viscosity petroleum product per unit time, such volumetric increase being exponential in nature. That is, upon introduction of the dissolving gas and initial decrease in petroleum viscosity, the oil tends to flow by gravity head toward the recovery zone 48 at continually increasing rate. This re-exposes additional volume of undersaturated petroleum to the injected gas so that the process continues. Also, as the injection gases go into solution, there is a release of heat energy causing a temperature rise in the oil which, in turn, causes further reduction in viscosity and increased flow rate.
It is apparent then that an attendant step in the method may include heating of the dissolving gas prior to injection so that it will reach the oil-bearing stratum 16 at a temperature which is appreciably higher than the original formation temperature. This will cause the gas to heat the formation adjacent to the well bore 24, in the area of perforations 38, to further aid the viscosity reductions and gravity flow functions.
The flowing petroleum product available at recovery zone 48 may then be withdrawn up tubing string 36 in conventional manner by such as an oil pump 50 or other existing pumping equipment, e.g. hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical submergible pumps.
The above-described recovery method is especially useful when the oil-bearing stratum 16 is underlain by an active water zone such as water-bearing stratum 18. The injection gas can be introduced into the producing well or well-bore 24 at a pressure which is sufficiently high to maintain the bottom hole pressure essentially constant at original pressure levels. This then prevents water from flowing into the recovery zone. In the case where the oil is not underlain by water, the pressure need only be high enough to give the desired oil production rate. In either case, the injected volume of dissolving gas will be dependent upon the injection pressure, the solubility of the injection gas in the oil, and whatever the desired oil production rate. Care must be taken that the injection rate of the dissolving gas is not so high as to cause a pressure buildup above desired levels at the producing wells.
The injection gas, e.g. a carbon dioxide and/or LPG combination as previously described, may be obtained from a suitable form of injection gas generator 52 for conduction via conduit 54 for injection in annulus 32 of well-bore 24. Recovered petroleum product from tubing string 36 is conducted via a suitable conduit 56 to a conventional mode of output processing 58. While the oil entering the lower portion of tubing string 36 is pumped from the well or tubing string by the pumping unit 50, a back pressure must be maintained on the tubing string to prevent the oil from flowing naturally from the well. If the well were allowed to flow, a pressure differential may be created in the reservoir which could result in flow of water from the water-bearing stratum 18 upward to the recovery zone 48 of the well bore 24. After the oil product reaches the surface, the pressure may be partially reduced for flow through gathering lines or conduit 56 to output processing 58. Gas products may be recovered in output processing 58 for recycling in the method, as will be further described below.
The bore hole 30, generally selected as that bore in the field or area in communication with the highest point of the oilbearing stratum 16, may also be utilized for pressurizing the field. Thus, nitrogen or any other low value gas from a suitable source or generator 60 is conducted via line 62 for input under preselected pressure to the upper terminal of bore hole 30. The bore hole 30 is perforated by suitable means in the area 64, the upper reaches of well bearing strata 16, to build up a pressure head as indicated generally by dash line 66. This pressurizing may be continually increased in accordance with withdrawal of petroleum product to maintain a desired quiescent pressure sufficient to hold the overall reservoir pressure essentially constant.
While the foregoing is directed primarily to the simultaneous injection and production from a single well-bore 24, it should be understood that the similar producing activity can be carried out for each of the additional well-bores 26, 28 and whatever. Thus, with respect to well-bore 26, the solvent gas from injection gas generator 52 is applied via conduit 54 to an annulus 68 formed by casing 70 and tubing string 72. The well-bore 26 is also pre-worked so that it includes a perforated zone 74 to allow introduction of the solvent gas to form its gas cap head for gravity flow downward toward a recovery zone 76. In like manner, well-bore 28 may constitute similar structure arrayed for parallel production function. That is, it includes similar annulus 78 between a casing 80 and tubing 82, and it would be pre-worked to have a perforation zone 84 and lower recovery zone 86.
Various forms of surface support equipment may be employed in carrying out the present method, and the block dia gram of FIG. 2 illustrates a generalized form of such supporting installation. As shown in FIG. 2, the respective units of output processing 58, injection gas generator 52, and nitrogen generator 60 are each shown in dish-line outline with the respective input conduits 56 and output lines 54 and 62 in communication therewith. While description proceeds with respect to this particular type of installation, it should be understood that there are various forms of supporting equipment which may be employed in carrying out the respective output processing, injection gas generation and other satellite functions.
The output processing 58 may consist of such as conventional forms of heater unit 90, a separator 92 and heatertreater 94. An oil and gas mixture as recovered from an oil production reservoir, e.g. from well tubings 36, 72 and/or 82, is available in conduit 56 for input to a heater 90. Heater serves to increase the temperature of the oil and gas mixture so that a more efficient separation of the gas and oil will occur in the next following phase. The heater 90 also receives input via conduit 96 of carbon dioxide which is obtained, for exampie, from nitrogen generator 60 in a manner as will be further described below; and also, LPG may be introducted at input 98 for mixture with the CO as applied in conduit 96 to heater 90.
A heated component of LPG and carbon dioxide is supplied out via line 102 while the heated oil and gas mixture is applied in line 104 to separator 92. The separator 92 serves to divide as between the oil or petroleum product and gas components, the gas components being conducted in line 106 for mixture with the CO -LPG components in line 102, while the liquid components are present through line 108 to the heater-treater 94. Depending upon prevailing pressure conditions, it may be more efficient to employ two or more separators operating in series, each functioning at a different, selected pressure.
Upon leaving the separator 92, the degassed liquid in line 108 flows into heater-treater 94 whereupon any free or entrained water is separated from the oil. The water recovery is then conducted in line 110 for proper disposal and the petroleum products are separately conducted for further disposition. That is, any remaining vapors or volatile end products from the oil product are conducted through a line 112 for further use in such as nitrogen generator 60, as will be described, and the liquid product is conducted in a line 114 for flow to storage or pipe line and subsequent sales disposition.
Referring again to separator 92, the output of gases in line 106 are combined with any LPG and carbon dioxide gases present in line 102, and the combined gases are supplied to a dehydrator 116 within the injection gas generator 52. The dehydrator 116 serves to remove all water vapor to minimize corrosion problems whereupon the mixture of petroleum solvent gases are applied in a line 118 for input to a compressor 120. The compressor 120 serves to repressure the solvent gases, i.e. carbon dioxide and/or LPG mixtures thereof, so that it will flow through line 54 back to the producing wells for reentry into the annulus spaces as previously described. In some cases, it may be desirable to further heat the injection or solvent gas prior to re-injection, and this may be carried out by passing the output from compressor 120 through a suitable heater 122 with further conduction through input conduit 54 to the selected well sites.
The nitrogen generator 60 may be such as a conventional form of flue gas plant which not only provides the reservoir pressuring nitrogen as applied on line 62, but also provides a source of carbon dioxide as applied in line 96 back to the heater 90 of output processing 58. Thus, fuel gas such as that available on line 122 from heater-treater 94 is supplied along with air on line 124 as input to a flue gas generator 126. After combustion in the flue gas generator 126, there is provided an output on line 128 which includes a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide for application to a compressor 130 wherein partial repressuring takes place. The repressured gas mixture then flows through a line 132 for input to a separation system 134 wherein the nitrogen and carbon dioxide components are separated into their individual streams. While various commercial methods of separation are available, a very economical method consists of the separation system 134 as shown. The input from line 132 is supplied to an absorber unit 136 utilizing production oil such as might be obtained from output oil line 114. The resulting oil and dissolved carbon dioxide may then be routed back through heater 90 and separator 92 for separation.
Gas output from absorber unit 136 is conducted via line 138 to a compressor 140. The gas output is a high purity nitrogen gas and it is then sufficiently repressured in compressor 140 for conduction via line 62 for input to the bore hole 30 at some selected pressure to repressure the petroleum reservoir 14. If an absorbtion liquid other than production oil from output oil line 114 is used, that absorbtion liquid is supplied to separator 144 through line 142. In separator 144 the carbon dioxide evolves from the absorbtion liquid and leaves through line 96. The now lean absorbtion liquid is pumped back through line 146 to the absorber 136 to again extract the carbon dioxide from the flue gas.
The foregoing discloses a novel method for effecting secondary recovery of petroleum products from sub-terranean reservoirs. The method is particularly adapted to those situations where an oil-bearing strata is laden with high viscosity oil and, at the same time, is underlain by a water zone of appreciably more mobile fluids. The method of the present invention can then enable the setting up of a gas cap head of reduced viscosity oil which migrates under gravitational forces to a petroleum recovery zone, and such migration is affected without allowing the more mobile water to flow upward into the recovery zone.
Changes may be made in the combination and arrangement of steps as heretofore set forth in the specification and shown in the drawings; it being understood that changes may be made in the embodiment disclosed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
