Gas migration through cement slurries analysis: A comparative laboratory study
Cementing is an essential part of every drilling operation. Protection of the wellbore from formation fluid invasion is one of the primary tasks of a cement job. Failure in this task results in catastrophic events, such as blow outs. Hence, in order to save the well and avoid risky and operationally difficult remedial cementing, slurry must be optimized to be resistant against gas migration phe...
متن کاملLaboratory process improvement through point-of-care testing.
BACKGROUND In the 1992-1996 period Methodist Clinical Laboratory Services of the Methodist Health Group, Indianapolis, was restructuring all work processes. In one initiative, point-of-care testing (POCT) was used to optimize the decision cycle time while reducing the overall cost of providing information. DEVELOPING THE COMPARATIVE MODEL: In a typical month (May 1994) for hospital admissions a...
متن کاملDecentralized molecular diagnostic testing plan for pandemic influenza in the Ontario Public Health Laboratory system.
The Ontario Public Health Laboratories system (OPHL) is in the midst of a six-year plan to implement molecular tools for pandemic influenza diagnostics in one central and three regional public health laboratories. This plan has been formulated as a consequence of: (1) experiences gained through severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and comments of the members of the Expert Panel on SARS and...
متن کاملLaboratory Surge Capacity and Pandemic Influenza
In this issue, Crawford et al. describe their experiences running a clinical diagnostic laboratory during the first 3 weeks of the influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 outbreak (1). During the early weeks of the outbreak, their laboratory, which serves 15 hospitals and affiliated physician practices in the greater New York City metropolitan area, experienced an approximately 8x increase in respirat...
متن کاملViral factors in influenza pandemic risk assessment
The threat of an influenza A virus pandemic stems from continual virus spillovers from reservoir species, a tiny fraction of which spark sustained transmission in humans. To date, no pandemic emergence of a new influenza strain has been preceded by detection of a closely related precursor in an animal or human. Nonetheless, influenza surveillance efforts are expanding, prompting a need for tool...
