Excerpts from Barrett, Terry. Criticizing Art: Understanding the Contemporary. 3rd ed. McGraw-Hill Education. 2011. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/35f5/50763b8b83fd733914cdf719b6ae356cb1b4.pdf

Other readings from this course as relevant to your critique of art
You are responsible for writing a critique about a specific fine art work, art object, performance, exhibition, or other artistic expression for submission in an arts publication (ex: a visual arts review for Art in America or Artforum; a submission to Dance Magazine; a critique for A Journal of Performance and Art or the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism; a review for Theater Journal or TDR The Drama Review; etc.).

Choose a work of art to critique, preferably something that you may observe “live” rather than online. Your critique may also serve as a visual arts review, a dance review, a theater review, a multimedia performance review, an art film review, or a review of musical performance. Research the artwork and at least two other reviews of the artwork, like a responsible art critic! This is optional, but if possible interview the creator or performer or producer of the artwork! Then, follow Terry Barrett’s steps to compose your review and critique which must include describing, interpreting, and judging art. Judging art properly requires theoretical understanding of aesthetics; thus, other readings in this and previous modules should aid your judgement of art. Use at least three (3) scholarly readings to strengthen your review and critique. In a 5-page essay (about 1500 words), begin with the intentional artwork, describe the work, reflect upon your first impression and experience with the work, and follow Barrett’s steps, to write like an art critic! You are welcome to include images of, digital files of, or links to the artwork and a citation/caption for the artwork. Use MLA style to cite your references.

Nevertheless, Weatherford Company also offers to the operator’s wireline services, the wireline services include all the advance and important information about the well. Likewise wireline fulfil all the client needs with unequalled flexibility and with integrated strategic wireline technologies, tools, and syste
In addition, completion and stimulation is also one of the essential services provided by Weatherford Company. To achieve a high quality production of the well it is important to perform critical treatments and upgrades efficiently. This requires a careful preparation and extensive capability.
Consequently, Weatherford delivers a complete facilities, breadth, and experience in multi subjects whether on the surface or down the well, in laboratories or factories. The company focus is to deliver a high quality services in the industry.

Weatherford labs

Weatherford Laboratories are involved in rock and fluid analysis by providing several services related to oil and gas production around the world. Weatherford labs has wide experience in working with different type of fluids and reservoir which play an important role for oil and gas producers. In addition, this experience leads the company to reach determinations on the best production for the long-term viability of a well.
Weatherford labs provide several services according to the client requirements, for instance MICP (Mercury injection and Capillary pressure), Porosity and Permeability measurement, CT scan for cores, Soxhlet Cleaning, Core photo, Core gamma, Fluid Saturation by Dean Stark, Salinity Analysis, and finally Miscible Extraction.
Weatherford laboratory sections

The Waterford lab in Oman is divided into several sections and each department has special tasks. The flow chart below shows the different sect
The Conventional core analysis department is about using different instrument in order to measure the porosity and permeability of fluids using Nitrogen and Helium gases. In addition porosity and permeability are important factors in petroleum.
This section provide an important data related to porosity and permeability in order to get a better understanding in reservoir and flow of different types of fluids using DHP (Digital Helium Porosimeter) and DGP (Digital Gas Porosimeter) devices also VINCI is one of the instruments that used for steady- state processes.
SCAL sectio
Special core analysis section are specialist in understanding petrophysical properties goes beyond special techniques with advance tests to help the client more in estimating their fields.
It is important to note however, that SCAl provide several services in MICP (mercury injection and capillary pressure), FRF (formation resistivity factor), and permeability of fluids especially water, CT scan, and flush cleaning using different solvents.
However, the department provides unique tests related to the above processes in order to ensure the delivery of good quality services and focus on saving costs to the customer.
Therefore, SCAL section is responsible for different fluid analysis at several stages in order to fulfil all the operational requirements and to achieve important results that optimize production and development of the fields.
Other sections
Weatherford laboratories also provide some other services behind the services provided by CCA and SCAL. These services include the basic experiments and requirement to observe several parameters such as temperature, pressure, and type of gas.
