From the executive summary: ‘When horizontal equity is an influential norm, its proper role in tax analysis is unclear. When taxpayers lobby, however, maintaining horizontal equity reduces the resources used to influence policy. If the reduction in influence costs is larger than the increased deadweight loss of taxation, then a...
Organizing the sales force enables the company to accomplish the sales objectives in a more effective manner. It is always better to put the sales force in specialized groups and bring stability and continuity in the sales. Apart from educating about the different types of agents in an organization, this...
The managers of firms undergoing horizontal mergers and acquisitions have anticipated improvements in production efficiency as a primary source of gains in the transactions. The Antitrust authorities conceive that horizontal mergers allow the firms to gain at the expense of customers or suppliers by exercising increased market power. The paper...
This presentation highlights upon creating effective organizations. There are four characteristics, which are common to all organization. These are hierarchy of authority, co-ordination of efforts, division of labor, and common goal. In addition, there are three pattern of organization design. These are horizontal, hourglass, and virtual organization. No single...
The paper cites that horizontal wells have a higher productivity and pay contact per well than vertical wells, thereby reducing the number of wells required to drain the reservoir. Horizontal wells allow operators to take advantage of highly heterogeneous or layered reservoirs, reservoirs with fractures, or water or gas coning...
A matrix is something within which something else originates or develops. The relevance of this definition to matrix management is that the matrix matters less than the projects or multidisciplinary processes, which emerge from this approach to organization and management. Matrix management is not a metaphysical experience. Its profundity is...
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- 3M today announced the availability of its first 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper solution at SEMICON West, in San Francisco. The 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper from 3M is the industry's first to offer an optional seal to reduce corrosion, decrease contamination and reduce moisture vapor transmission. In...
Hopkins Fee in Belridge field had no production when Nuevo Energy Company purchased its interests in this field in Kern County, California, in 1996. Building on its horizontal drilling expertise, in 1997, Nuevo initiated a horizontal drilling program to develop the 10-ft to 35-ft-thick Tulare Sands in the Hopkins Fee....
The paper mentions that improvements in horizontal drilling of fractured oil shale plays can have a steep learning curve. Attaining a cost-effective level of success can be related to efficiency of drilling, proper orientation of the horizontal leg to intersect the maximum number of fractures, avoiding formation damage, using appropriate...
A merger is a transaction that results in a wholly new organization formed due to the merging of two or more organization/s. There are three types of mergers viz. horizontal, vertical, and conglomerate. Organizations merge and form a single entity to achieve economies of scale, widen their reach, acquire strategic...
A merger is a transaction that results in a wholly new organization formed due to the merging of two or more organization/s. An acquisition is a transaction in which one firm is taken over by another firm. There are three types of mergers viz. horizontal, vertical, and conglomerate. The paper...
The paper points put that in the proper reservoir application, horizontal wells yield higher production rates and recovery than vertical wells, yielding attractive economics even though cost may be twice that of vertical wells. Numerous technology advances continue to improve horizontal well performance and broaden application. Among those, under balanced...
This paper examines the impact of uncertainty on vertical and horizontal FDI Foreign Direct Investment. This model shows that greater supply uncertainty reduces the expected income from vertical FDI but increases the expected income from horizontal FDI. Greater demand uncertainty adversely affects the expected income under both production modes. Uncertainty...
Pioneer Natural Resources, with support from Gemini Solutions, Inc., used quick-turnaround, PC-based reservoir simulation to evaluate infill horizontal development in the tight gas Edward formation in Pawnee field, Bee County, Texas. The reservoir model, refined through history matching, vertical well performance, reliably predicted production rates and flowing tubing head pressures...
This paper summarizes the evaluation and effects of completion alternatives on the productivity and economics concerning the redevelopment of the urocoa field .It explains how the horizontal gravel pack technology restored the well productivity and improved longevity. The initial redevelopment completion scenario used horizontal wells in slotted liners in open...
A horizontal category axis displays text labels instead of numerical intervals, there are fewer scaling options that you can change than there are for a vertical value axis. You can, however, change how many categories you want to display between tick marks, in which order you want to display categories,...
As the pace of globalization accelerates, Fortune 500 companies everywhere are redesigning their internal organization and implementing various types of horizontal business structures to drive greater efficiencies. One of the most popular is the core operations unit COU. This organization typically cuts across geographic regions and business units to leverage...
HOUSTON -- Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced today at the 2004 Society of Petroleum Engineers conference that they are providing services to drill two intersecting horizontal wells for the unique purpose of connecting stranded gas reserves to a marketplace that lies on the opposite side of a steep and treacherous gorge in...
