This is a take-home exam.  The exam should be typed, double-spaced, and with standard margins and font.  It should not exceed ten (10) pages.  Please number all the pages.

 

 

 

 

II.  Please answer the following questions:

 

First, identify and explain the main tenets of the Ancient-Modern Debate. Why does Machiavelli reject both the Ancient Greek and Christian conceptions of Man and Politics? 

 

Second, describe Machiavelli’s account of the “Origins,” and why this is important.  How does Machiavelli’s account of the “Origins” influence his redefinition of Vitu? What is this New Virtu? Where does one learn it? Last, how is all of this related to Machiavelli’s conception of Lady Fortuna?

 

Third, explain why Hobbes is dissatisfied with Machiavelli’s politics, and describe how Hobbes universalizes Machiavelli’s insights.

Empirical analysis and evaluation of Value at Risk with three approaches

Empirical analysis – at least three stocks or portfolio (could be from the same industries or different industries, could be from London stock exchange or other exchanges) to be used, 
three different approaches to be used (Exponentially weighted moving average, GARCH, and Historical simulation – two parametric and one non-parametric)
the period of empirical analysis – less than 10 years 

Reservoir Compartmentalization by Using Geochemical analysis

1. Topic: Reservoir Compartmentalization Assessment by Using Geochemical analysis
2. Define the background to the problem you are tackling; preferably state a question or hypothesis of some sort.
o Problem: Reservoir compartmentalization: refers to the presence of fluid flow barriers between two fluid sampling points.
o Significant variation of fluid type in the field: the oils in the field are mainly waxy black oils ranging between 20 and 31°API gravity. 
o Question or hypothesis: Example:
 How to detect reservoir compartmentalization using geochemical analysis?
 Why is there a significant variation of fluid types in different compartments?
 Are the oils in the same continuous reservoir or do they belong to separate reservoir compartments?
 How do the findings from the Jawdah field reservoir compartmentalization assessment impact reservoir exploration globally?
3. Explain the relevance and importance of what you intend to do; explain why anyone should actually care about the work you are planning to do. Justify the work you are planning to do. Do not simply assume that the reader considers your work to be important; persuade them that it is important.
o Example: As the production of oil becomes more expensive, the importance of developing advanced techniques to minimize uncertainties during extraction of hydrocarbon is vital. Analysing the faults and fluid behaviour within a single reservoir is also essential during appraisal and production phases, as faults can have a significant impact in developing a field, whereby the fluid quality play a key role in the production rate. However, faults can cause reservoir compartmentalization in a field, which be challenging to detect with limited data and analysis. The oil industry around the globe are currently investigating best approaches in predicting and identifying the implication of reservoir compartmentalization on fluid flow all over the field lifetime.

4. Define what you actually intend to do (give the work-plan) to solve the problem.
o The materials used in this research include 24 oil samples of around 10 ml from the Gharif and Al Khlata formations in the Jawdah field.
o 3 geochemical analysis will be used to interpret the 24 oil samples
 SARA analysis :(saturates, aromatics, resins, asphaltenes)
 Reservoir oil fingerprinting (ROF): is a combination of analytical and interpretive techniques that utilizes the "fingerprint" of oils to determine whether they are part of the same reservoir compartment.
 Biomarker analysis
o Two software’s will be utilized to interpret the generated data from the given 3 techniques.
 Xcalibur software
 Petrel software

5. Explain the type of results that you will produce.
o Whole-oil Gas chromatographic 
o Whole oil bulk composition
o Oil Chemical composition
o Whole Oil Carbon Isotope Analysis 
o Concertation of saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes and plots illustrating ( saturated hydrocarbons vs aromatic hydrocarbons)
o Biodegradation rate
6. Explain how you will interpret the results.
o By integrating the newly generated data in order to understand and validate reservoir compartmentalization in Jawdah field using the following outcomes:
 Gas chromatography measurements on whole oils will be utilized for quantifying major saturated and aromatic compounds.
 Oil type (origin of the oil)
 Charge history
 Source-oil correlation
 Hydrocarbon thermal maturity
 Biodegradation
o Principle component analysis (PCA) will be used to screen peak height ratios, for the use in the oil correlations and to identify groups of similar oils.
o Comparing the data with 4 PVT reports from 4 wells across the Jawdah field.
7. Explain what training will be required.
o Example: Reservoir compartmentalization is consequently a key ambiguity that must be precisely measured throughout the assessment of oil reservoirs in the mandate to circumvent unanticipated compartmentalization at the fluid production stage. The training is mandatory for the capability to rationalize, visualize and describe the variety of fluid composition across the field willingness to advance the understanding of reservoir compartmentalization. Hence, training for analyzing data from biomarkers and oil fingerprinting is needed to provide an additional positive outlook of reservoir connectivity.

Assignment 2: Case Study

Assignment Type Weighting Word Count Date Due

Case Study 50%  2000 words Week 11  

Purpose: 

The purpose of this case study is to integrate the understanding of two developmental theories with a practical example. Within this integration is an identification, analysis and evaluation of major life themes with the inclusion of strengths and challenges faced by a fictional character. 

Process:

Select a character presented in a book, television or film at a major life transition (leaving home, wedding, parenthood, retirement) and briefly summarise the context in which the character becomes known.  Write a case study that summarises the major life themes identified in the book, television or film, and apply theories of development to analyse the life stage, the strengths and challenges  faced by the character, using two developmental theories presented in this unit (other than those applied in Assignment 1. Please also refer to the list of Developmental Theorists in Assignment 1 when choosing the two developmental theories for this assignment). Draw on a range of unit and other relevant references.

Your Case Study will need to address:  Case study written and is inclusive of the naming of major life themes in the chosen source  Identification of the chosen character with a brief summary of the context in which the character is introduced  Identification of key aspects of each of the two major developmental theories and application of these theories to an analysis of the life stages of the character, including the strengths and challenges faced by the character  Reference to current literature and integration of relevant theory into your discussion

Information about the writing of Case Studies

A case study:  should provide a description of a particular subject such as a practice, problem, scenario or situation  is often based on a person or organisation  provides an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply theory to practice  should critically analyse, evaluate or review the subject using the relevant theory  may be given to you in the assignment question, or you may need to develop your own case scenario
