Strong base ASP flooding technology can improve oil recovery by 20%, but the lifting system exists serious scaling problems which cause pump detection period shorter. The main composition of the scale are organisms (heavy oil is in majority), carbonates and silicates. The content of each component is closely related to pH value. With high pH value, the main composition of the scale is silicate. With low pH value, the main composition of the scale is carbonate. The results of analysis of the relationship between scale composition, scaling position and depositional sequence showed that the content of silicate gradually increased from top to down in shaft while the carbonate decreased. In the process of scale deposition, carbonate scale emerged at first and then it provided attachment points and crystal nucleus for the silicate. The rough surface of carbonate scale increased the friction between the fluid and the wall, it promoted the formation of silicate. Statistically analyze the properties of pH value, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, silicon, polymer, viscosity, surfactant, fluid yield, water content in produced liquid and their influences on scaling in the injection-production period. Establish the prediction basis using the pH value as primary and ion content as supplement for the problems of mechanical production well scaling. In the period of carbonate scaling (pH10.5), the process slowed down. The coincidence rate was 93.9% after pilot tests. It provided a basis for taking corresponding measures to inhibit scale formation.

Served as alkaline-surfactant-polymer flooding for the enhanced oil recovery, alkaline-surfactant-polymer has widely been employed for Chinese oil production. In the practical opinion, the silicate scaling, which was formed by alkali, would harm layer gradually and affect oilfield production seriously. For the reason, in this paper, the phase diagrams of silicate scale were obtained in three different systems, including single silicon system, calcium/ magnesium/ silicon coexistence system, and calcium/ magnesium/ silicon/ aluminum coexistence system. The results showed that, other ions would affect the morphology and process of silicate scaling. In the experimental research range, silicate scaling is more easily to form with the lower temperature or pH value. The mixing scale was formed by absorption of silicate scale on the surface of carbonate scale. The aluminosilicate was formed by aluminum ions and silicon. The silicon scale forecasting model and equation of three different systems in ASP flooding with alkali was set up according to lab date. These data can provide theoretical basis for preventing scaling in oil production

ASP flooding technology is an important means to further improve oil recovery of oil field later high water-cut stage. As is found in pilot test of ASP flooding, in the process of injecting ASP combinational flooding fluid, alkaline chemical react with the rocks minerals in reservoir and dissolve and elute the portion of the silicon in rocks minerals after injecting into formation. Due to the mixed flow occurred in near well bore zone and the changes in pressure and temperature, produced liquid produces mixed silicon scale near the well .The serious scaling phenomenon has affected the production efficiency and the further popularization of the ASP flooding technology.The serious scaling phenomenon has affected the production efficiency and the further popularization of the ASP flooding technology.It is very important to study and solve the problem of ASP flooding silicon scale.In this paper,we studied the interaction ternary displacement liquid and formation, analysised the physical and chemical processes of silicon scale, researched and analysised the differences on the microscopic pore structure between water flooding cores and ASP flooding cores as well as the situation of silicon scale after the ASP flooding by using SEM technology.

As a result of the base-rock corrosion effects and the suspension-carrying capability of polymer in the system of strong base ASP flooding, the concentration of silicon ions in reservoir liquid increases. As the liquid flows into the surface pipelines with tracer heating water injecting, thermodynamics and kinetics conditions change. Suspending power and pH value also decrease. Heavy oil (which content is more than 25%), silts, carbonates and silicates co-deposite, which can cause surface pipelines jamming and even production stopping. Physical or chemistry methods can prolong the rinsing cycles of surface pipelines. Pilot tests indicated that injecting resistance sedimentation agents cost little which had a long rinsing cycle above one year. Hot washing technology had a low cost but with a short rinsing cycle about 2-4 months and the treatment efficiency was easy influenced by the content of oil in blockages. Cavitating water jets technology had good effects and its rinsing cycle were 6 months but cost was high.

A comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) reverse phase (RP) liquid chromatography (LC) method is developed for alkaloid analysis. This offline comprehensive 2D method is developed using different pH values. With a pH value of 10.5, most alkaloids appear in the form of neutral molecules possessing high retention factors based on their polarity, while the alkaloid polarity order is changed when the pH value decreased to 3.0. The performance of pH modulated 2D LC is demonstrated with 8 alkaloid standards which resulted in orthogonal separation. The developed method is then applied to total alkaloid separation inCorydalis yanhusuo. The first-dimension separation is carried out using methanol and water containing 1.0% ammonium hydroxide and a strong base-resistant RP column, which afforded a peak capacity of 94. The second-dimension analysis is carried out with a surface positive charge column providing a peak capacity of 205 using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water with 0.15% formic acid. 2D analyses of total alkaloid extract fromC. yanhusuoafford a total peak capacity of 9090. Sixteen compounds were tentatively identified based on their ultraviolet spectrum and MS/MS analyses. The proposed method provides an alternative approach to achieve high peak capacity for analysis of alkaloid extract.

The objective of this work was to assess the relationship between macrofauna, mineralogy and exchangeable calcium and magnesium in Cerrado Oxisols under pasture. Twelve collection points were chosen in the Distrito Federal and in Formosa municipality, Goiás state, Brazil, representing four soil groups with varied levels of calcium + magnesium and kaolinite/(kaolinite + gibbsite) ratios. Soil macrofauna was collected in triplicate at each collection point, and identified at the level of taxonomic groups. Macrofauna density showed correlation with contents of kaolinite, gibbsite and exchangeable Ca + Mg in the soils. Mineralogy and exchangeable Ca + Mg had significant effects on taxonomic groups and relative density of soil macrofauna. The termites (Isoptera) were more abundant in soils with low exchangeable Ca + Mg; earthworms (Oligochaeta), in soils with high levels of kaolinite; and Hemiptera and Coleoptera larvae were more abundant in gibbsitic soils with higher contents of total carbon.

The article discusses the results of the use of cluster analysis in assessing the degree of oil recovery complexity and its impact on the performance indicator. For this purpose, clustering was performed using a fuzzy cluster analysis algorithm. It should be noted that along with the deposits of heavy and highly viscous oils, a large share of hard-to-recover reserves is also confined to conditions with very low reservoir permeability values. Data on viscosity, oil density and oil permeability of in-situ conditions from various fields of Kazakhstan are collected. Using the results of this classification, a statistical analysis of indicators of various types of hard-torecover oils was performed. In the process of analysis, a generalized characteristic was determined for each class of oil, including viscosity, oil density and reservoir permeability. The generic characteristic is a linear transformation of the three characteristics. The results were subjected to statistical processing. At the same time, an attempt was made to establish and analyze the relationship between the degree of recovery complexity of hard-to-recover oils and oil recovery coefficient. In the course of the analysis, the average values of the oil recovery coefficient and the index of the degree of recovery complexity of hard-to-recover oil within each cluster were calculated and the relationship between them was plotted. The observed dependence, built on averaged points, is close to a power law, and, as one would expect, with an increase in the degree of oil recovery complexity, the oil recovery coefficient falls. The obtained estimates of the degree of oil recovery complexity allow us to rank different types of oils by their viscosity, density and reservoir permeability, which can be used to compare types of hard-to-recover oils by the value of the quality indicator. Methods to solve the problem of hard-to-remove high-viscosity and heavy oils should be aimed at reducing the viscosity of oil in the reservoir: injection of hot water / steam into the reservoir, the use of electric heaters, etc. Purpose. Assessment of the degree of oil recovery complexity and its impact on the efficiency of field development. The technique. The solution of the tasks set in the work was carried out on the method of mathematical statistics and the theory of fuzzy sets. In this case, the methods of processing the results, the correlation analysis, and the algorithm of fuzzy cluster analysis were used. Results. As a result of studies, 4 classes were obtained, each of which characterizes the degree of oil recovery complexity, a parameter was proposed for quantifying the degree of complexity, including oil density and viscosity, reservoir permeability, a relationship between this parameter and oil recovery coefficient was obtained. Scientific novelty. A classification of hard-to-recover reserves based on a fuzzy cluster analysis has been performed, and a parameter has been proposed for quantifying the degree of oil recovery complexity, a relationship has been obtained that allows judging the oil recovery by the degree of oil recovery complexity. Practical significance. The results obtained make it possible to classify hard-to-recover reserves and make decisions on the choice of methods for influencing the reservoir in various geological conditions.

In view of environmental and economic issues, co-production technology with pulp as the major product is an important developmental direction in biorefinery. In this paper, high-yield pulp was prepared by hydrothermal pretreatment with controlled pH and subsequent mechanical refining using corn stover as raw material. By adding acetic acid or sodium hydroxide, the properties of the hydrolysate and the pulp were altered. Reducing the pH during hydrothermal pretreatment resulted in more cellulose and hemicellulose being released, while less lignin was released. Increased pH led to more lignin being released, while dissolution of carbohydrates did not change significantly. A maximum pulp yield at pH 5.84 of hydrolysate was obtained when 3.0% sodium hydroxide was used. The strength of pulp is highly related to the removal of lignin during hydrothermal pretreatment. The relationship between pH value in hydrothermal pretreatment and the physical properties of the pulp was established and could be further used for prediction and as guidance for process control. Moreover, the results could be used to develop technologies for industrial utilization of agricultural straw to co-generate fiber and other bio-based products.

Abstract. The aim of this work is to investigate the relationship between indicators of cicatricial digestion and linearity of cows. Methods. The research was carried out in the breeding enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region on the livestock of Ural-type cows. Cicatricial fluid was collected with an oropharyngeal rubber probe, and a wooden yaw was also used. Cicatricial content was assessed at the Chelyabinsk Interregional Veterinary Laboratory. The pH value was determined by the electrometric method, VFA – in the Markgam apparatus, ammonia – by the microdiffusion method. Ciliates – in Goryaev’s chamber and under a microscope, bacteria – under a microscope with the addition of sodium chloride solution. Statistical data processing was carried out in the Microsoft Office Excel 2010 program. Results. In terms of the number of ciliates and bacteria in the rumen fluid, the Montwick Chieftain cows, characterized by high productive qualities, had an advantage. In terms of pH and VFA, the Vis Back Ideal line was the best. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the amount of ammonia in the rumen. The best animals from the point of view of influence on cicatricial metabolism were the animals of the Vis Back Ideal and Montwick Chieftain lineage. Scientific novelty. Studies have shown that linearity is associated with cicatricial digestion in cows. The relationship of bull lines with indicators of cicatricial metabolism of cows has been determined for the first time. The food in the rumen is digested due to the action of bacteria, ciliates, and fungi. An environment has been created in the rumen for the active development of microflora. Bacteria are able to synthesize amino acids and vitamins. The proventriculus can contain up to 50 species of ciliates.
