Reservoir quality is the key for the petroleum exploration for middle-deep formation in the Bozhong Depression because the middle-deep reservoir is with the characteristics of big burial depth and poor physical property which is difficult to predict, but the physical property of dolostone reservoir (includes bioclastic dolostone and terrigenous clastic dolostone) is significant better than that of the clastic reservoir in the same depth in the second member of Shahejie Formation of QHD36-3 oil field, which could be one of the frontier for high production reservoir exploration. The paper concludes that the development of dolostone is mainly controlled by paleogeomorphology and paleo water depth as well as the distance from the source area. Building up the related sedimentary pattern is good for the exploration aiming at bioclasti dolostone and terrigenous clastic dolostone reservoir.

Aiming at the problem of only source material in paste filling and garbage-surrounded city, a system engineering including them was proposed. The construction waste crushing process of filling was optimized based on the gangue process. Compared with gangue, the physical property of three kinds of construction waste ranged widely. Also the paste of all could reach the goal of filling, which the collapsed slump ranged from 18cm to 23cm and the highest compressive strength of 8h and 28d reached 0.17MPa and 3.82MPa. However, the properties of concrete structures of construction waste were better than that of brick-mixed structures.

AbstractThe Abu Gabra and Bentiu formations are widely distributed within the interior Muglad Basin. Recently, much attention has been paid to study, evaluate and characterize the Abu Gabra Formation as a proven reservoir in Muglad Basin. However, few studies have been documented on the Bentiu Formation which is the main oil/gas reservoir within the basin. Therefore, 33 core samples of the Great Moga and Keyi oilfields (NE Muglad Basin) were selected to characterize the Bentiu Formation reservoir using sedimentological and petrophysical analyses. The aim of the study is to de-risk exploration activities and improve success rate. Compositional and textural analyses revealed two main facies groups: coarse to-medium grained sandstone (braided channel deposits) and fine grained sandstone (floodplain and crevasse splay channel deposits). The coarse to-medium grained sandstone has porosity and permeability values within the range of 19.6% to 32.0% and 1825.6 mD to 8358.0 mD respectively. On the other hand, the fine grained clay-rich facies displays poor reservoir quality as indicated by porosity and permeability ranging from 1.0 to 6.0% and 2.5 to 10.0 mD respectively. A number of varied processes were identified controlling the reservoir quality of the studies samples. Porosity and permeability were enhanced by the dissolution of feldspars and micas, while presence of detrital clays, kaolinite precipitation, iron oxides precipitation, siderite, quartz overgrowths and pyrite cement played negative role on the reservoir quality. Intensity of the observed quartz overgrowth increases with burial depth. At great depths, a variability in grain contact types are recorded suggesting conditions of moderate to-high compactions. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy revealed presence of micropores which have the tendency of affecting the fluid flow properties in the Bentiu Formation sandstone. These evidences indicate that the Bentiu Formation petroleum reservoir quality is primarily inhibited by grain size, total clay content, compaction and cementation. Thus, special attention should be paid to these inhibiting factors to reduce risk in petroleum exploration within the area.

With a burial depth of 1000 m as the demarcation, the coal reservoir in South Yanchuan Block, China is divided into deep reservoir and shallow reservoir regions. A combination of coalbed methane well production data, well logging interpretation, coalbed methane numerical simulations and reservoir properties were used to research various production characteristics at different depths. The results indicate that coal thickness and gas content are not key factors that influence methane production. The shallow reservoir is located in a tension zone, while the deep reservoir is located in both a transformation zone and a compression zone. Although the reservoir and closure pressures increase with the burial depth, the pressures fluctuate in the deep reservoir, especially in the transformation zone. This fluctuation influences the opened degree of the fractures in the reservoir. The effective stress is lower in the deep reservoir than in the shallow reservoir, leading to higher permeability in the deep reservoir. This difference in effective stress is the key factor that influences the methane production. The combination of coal thickness and gas content also significantly influenced the methane production. Influenced by the reservoir and closure pressures, the Type III coal in the shallow reservoir is more developed, while the deep reservoir contained more developed Type I and Type II coal. The permeability increases exponentially with increasing thickness of Type I and Type II coal, which determines the high reservoir permeability in the deep reservoir. The development of Type III coal leads to the poor reservoir hydraulic fracturing effect. However, a reservoir with thick Type I and Type II coal can have a positive effect. Influencia de la presión, la estructura del carbón y su permeabilidad sobre la productividad de gas metano de carbón en profundidades de enterramiento del bloque Yanchuan Sur, ChinaResumenCon una profundidad de enterramiento de 1000 metros, el yacimiento de carbón del bloque Yanchuan Sur, en China, se divide en dos: el depósito profundo y el depósito superficial. Este trabajo combina los datos de la información de producción de gas metano asociado carbón, la interpretación de registros de pozo, las simulaciones numéricas de metano asociado a carbón y las propiedades del reservorio para encontrar las características de producción a diferentes profundidades. Los resultados indican que el espesor del carbón y el contenido de gas no son factores que alcancen a influir en la producción de metano. El depósito superficial se encuentra en una zona de tensión, mientras el depósito profundo está ubicado en una región tanto de transformación como de compresión. Aunque el reservorio y la presión de cierre se incrementan con la profundidad de enterramiento, las presiones fluctúan en el depósito profundo, especialmente en la zona de transformación. Esta fluctuación influye en el grado de apertura de las fracturas en el depósito. La tensión efectiva es más baja en el depósito profundo, lo que significa una mayor permeabilidad. La diferencia en la tensión efectiva es el factor clave que incide en la producción de metano. Afectado por las presiones de cierre y del yacimiento, el carbón tipo III en el depósito superficial está más desarrollado, mientras que el depósito profundo contiene carbón tipo I y tipo II más desarrollado. La permeabilidad se incrementa exponencialmente con el incremento del espesor en el carbón tipo I y tipo II, lo que determina la alta porosidad en el depósito profundo. El desarrollo de carbón tipo III lleva a un pobre efecto de la fractura hidráulica en el depósito. Sin embargo, un depósito con carbón tipo I y tipo II espeso podría tener un efecto positivo.

Radioisotope x-ray fluorescence analysis was performed to determine normalized elemental intensities for pre-Columbian sherds and roller stamps from different archaeological sites in the Middle Orinoco region of Venezuela. These normalized intensities were used to construct three-component (Triangle) graphs separating the sherds into three groups based on their known origin. The three-component graphs were: (Zn, Sr, Zr), (Rb, Sr, Zr), and ( A, Sr, Zr), where A = Cu + Zn + Pb normalized intensities. The total precision was shown to be better than 5% absolute for all cases studied. It was concluded that two of the roller stamps found at one site were probably manufactured in a different source area. This lends support to the notion that the roller stamps were a trade item in late pre-Columbian times (1000–1400 A.D.). The method applied in this study using a 109Cd (2 mCi) source seems to be appropriate for provenance studies of archaeological ceramics where many samples are processed, because it has the inherent advantages of being simple, economical, and rapid.

There are various types of mixed siliciclastic-carbonate sediments developed in the Bohai Sea area during the period of the first to second member of the Shahejie Formation (E2s1-2) of the Paleocene. We have concluded that the period of E2s1-2 was very suitable for the development of carbonate minerals and organisms because of the stable tectonic background, the weak siliciclastic influence of large source systems outside the basin, and the high salinity of the water. There were many local uplifts inside the basin during E2s1-2, and the source area, supply direction, and quantity of the local provenance varied greatly. We summarized that the mixed sediments generally developed in the intermittent and stagnant periods of the source supply, or on the flank or distal end of the source supply direction due to the absence of direct interference of terrigenous clasts. To a large extent, the formation of different types of mixed deposits is controlled by the different spatiotemporal relationship with siliciclastic supply. The background of strong source supply led to the formation of large-scale mixed deposits that were mainly composed of terrigenous clasts. Mixed deposits are mainly composed of organisms and carbonate with relatively large depositional thickness formed on the flank of source supply in the steep slope area. On the flank of source supply in the gentle slope belt, thinner mixed deposits with terrigenous clasts mainly formed and thin-layer carbonate clastic-dominated deposits formed on abandoned deltas. On the uplift of the buried hill far away from the provenance, thick mixed deposits mainly composed of bioclastic were formed whereas fine-grained mixed deposits formed under the low-energy argillaceous background.

Abstract Occidental operates a steam flood project in Mukhaizna which is a giant deep heavy oil field in south Oman. Wellbore heat losses from steam injectors is one of the challenges that degrades the steam flood thermal efficiency for a deep reservoir. In addition, wellbore heat losses increase the thermal stress on the casing and lead to wellbore damage. In aim to reduce wellbore heat losses, insulated tubing was introduced and a Pilot was carried out to select the optimum insulated tubing product in the market. Ten Injectors were instrumented and completed with insulated tubing from four different vendors in addition to two bare strings used as a reference base line. Data were collected and evaluated in eight months period. Field thermal conductivity was obtained for the tested products using DTS temperature data from the outermost casing, the Thermocouples data from the tubing outer wall and temperature logs during injection in aid of a calibrated wellbore model. The conducted analysis and the field observations were sufficient to resolve the thermal performance between the tested products. This paper describes the Pilot configuration and the evaluation methodology. Analysis output and field observations are summarized and presented in addition to the raw data collected from the instruments and temperature logs.

The Daqing field, located in the Songliao Basin in northeastern China, is the largest oil field in China. Most production in the Daqing field comes from seismically thin sand bodies with thicknesses between 1 and 15 m. Thus, it is not usually possible to resolve Daqing reservoirs using only conventional seismic data. We have evaluated the effectiveness of seismic multiattribute analysis of bandwidth extended data in resolving and making inferences about these thin layers. Multiattribute analysis uses statistical methods or neural networks to find relationships between well data and seismic attributes to predict some physical property of the earth. This multiattribute analysis was applied separately to conventional seismic data and seismic data that were spectrally broadened using sparse-layer inversion because this inversion method usually increases the vertical resolution of the seismic. Porosity volumes were generated using target porosity logs and conventional seismic attributes, and isofrequency volumes were obtained by spectral decomposition. The resulting resolution, statistical significance, and accuracy in the determination of layer properties were higher for the predictions made using the spectrally broadened volume.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of modified hydroxypropyl tapioca starch (HPTS) and % drug loading on physical property of tablet. Paracetamol was used as model drug because of its poor compressibility. The filler ability of modified HPTS such as hydroxyl propyl oxidized tapioca starch (HPOTS), hydroxyl propyl crosslinked tapioca starch (HPCTS) and pregelatinized tapioca starch (PTS) were evaluated and compared with the commercial starch (Starch 1500®). Tablets were prepared by direct compression method and the percent drug loading were 15, 30, 45, 60, 75%. For modified HPTS, the hardness of the tablets tended to decrease when the concentration of paracetamol increased. At drug concentrations of 15-30%, HPOTS exhibited good performance of tablet as indicated by the high hardness, low friability and acceptable disintegration time. The obtained results were better than HPTS and comparable to Starch 1500®. Moreover, the results revealed that tablet containing PTS provided the highest hardness and prolonged disintegration time (>30 min) while tablet containing HPCTS showed rapid disintegration time (<2 min). Therefore, modified HPTS disclosed promising properties for application as tablet filler

The oil–oil and oil–source rock correlations, also termed as geochemical correlations, play an essential role in the construction of petroleum systems, guidance of petroleum exploration, and definition of reservoir compartments. In this study, the problems arising from oil–oil and oil–source rock correlations were investigated using chemometric methods on oil and source rock samples from the WZ12 oil field in the Weixinan sag in the Beibuwan Basin. Crude oil from the WZ12 oil field can be classified into two genetic families: group A and B, using multidimensional scaling and principal component analysis. Similarly, source rocks of the Liushagang Formation, including its first, second, and third members, can be classified into group I and II, corresponding to group B and A crude oils, respectively. The principle geochemical parameters in the geochemical correlation for the characterisation and classification of crude oils and source rocks were 4MSI, C27Dia/C27S, and C24 Tet/C26 TT. This study provides insights into the selection of appropriate geochemical parameters for oil–oil and oil–source rock correlations, which can also be applied to other sedimentary basins.

Based on the Putaohua groups in Yushulin oil field, and through the statiscics and analyses, weve found that the reservoir property of this area is in the range of specially low permeability level. So due to the low porosity and permeability, its necessary to do some reaearch on the parameters calculation method.This papers analysed the relationships between the physical property parameters such as porosity, permeability, shale content and the well logging responses such as AC, SP, GR, then we built the distribution rules histograms of each physical property parameter. And we got the distribution situations of the parameters of the oil groups. Through the multiple regression, we built the relationship formulas between the reservoir property parameters and the well logging responses by using the core analysis data of 53 test wells. Afetr comparing the parameters of calculation and the core analysis data, we found that the deviation is small, which meets the production requires of oil field.
