Rare earth geochemistry of Arenig cherts from the Ballantrae Ophiolite and Leadhills Imbricate Zone, southern Scotland: implications for origin and significance to the Caledonian Orongeny [PDF]

, 1999
Rare earth element (REE) data from low to mid-Arenig cherts are used to test competing models for the early Ordovician evolution of the Laurentian margin in the northern British Isles.

Deciphering Freeze–Thaw Dynamics In Rockwalls: A Novel Approach for High Accuracy Regional‐Scale Modeling

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

The role of water bridge on gas adsorption and transportation mechanisms in organic shale

Scientific Reports
This work introduces and discusses the impacts of the water bridge on gas adsorption and diffusion behaviors in a shale gas-bearing formation. The density distribution of the water bridge has been analyzed in micropores and meso-slit by molecular ...

Pore Structure Characteristics and Genesis of Low-Permeability Sandstone Reservoirs in the Eocene Wenchang Formation, Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, Northern South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Porosity and permeability are critical parameters in petroleum exploration and development. The relationship between pore structure and permeability in near-source reservoirs is more closely correlated than in other types of reservoirs.

Characterization of Residual Oil Distribution in Sandstone by NMR: A Microscopic View on Oil Recovery by Miscible CO2 Flooding

Lithosphere, 2022
Miscible CO2 flooding gains rising popularity due to high displacement efficiency and potential carbon negativity. It is well documented that pore-level heterogeneity is one of the dominant mechanisms responsible for the variation in oil recovery ...

The Earliest Feathers from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation of North Hebei: Implications for the Early Evolution of the Jehol Biota

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Experimental study on initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures in stratified shale oil reservoirs

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology
The bedding planes of the Gulong shale oil reservoir in Daqing, China are extremely developed, which causes the hydraulic fractures to extend excessively in the horizontal direction while their longitudinal propagation is limited. In order to improve the

Geochemical characteristics and mechanisms of densification of pre-Jurassic crude oil in the Tainan Sag, Turpan-Hami Basin, China

Unconventional Resources, 2022
Large volumes of heavy oil were distributed in the pre-Jurassic strata of Tainan sag, Turpan Hami Basin, China. The geochemical characteristics and origins of heavy oil are of great significance to future exploration in the region.

N2 influences on CH4 accumulation and displacement in shale by molecular dynamics

Scientific Reports
N2 is generally employed as a displacement agent to enhance gas recovery in shale gas-bearing reservoirs. However, the primary displacement mechanism in the subsurface still needs to be clarified due to the characteristics of shale reservoirs with low ...
