Study of Single Phase Mass Transfer between Matrix and Fracture in Tight Oil Reservoirs by Renyi Cao, Zhongyi Xu, Linsong Cheng, Yuanyuan Peng, Yang Wang, Zhuoliang Guo

“…However, the current shape factors are not suited for tight oil reservoir simulation because the characteristics of tight oil reservoirs are not taken into account. In order to solve this problem, a new mass transfer function for tight fractured oil reservoirs is proposed by introducing a new time-related correction factor which could consider not only the existence of the boundary layer in nano-microscale throats in tight porous media but also the heterogeneous pressure distribution in matrix blocks. …”

Using Multivariate Geostatistics to Assess Patterns of Spatial Dependence of Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity and Selected Soil Properties by Glécio Machado Siqueira, Jorge Dafonte Dafonte, Montserrat Valcárcel Armesto, Ênio Farias França e Silva

“…Coefficients of correlation between ECa and gravimetric soil water content (0.685 for ECa-V and 0.649 for ECa-H) were higher than those between ECa and clay content (ranging from 0.197 to 0.495, when different ECa recording dates were taken into account). Ordinary and universal kriging have been used to assess the patterns of spatial variability of the ECa data sets recorded at successive dates and the analyzed soil properties. …”
