The Impact of Length-Scale Variation When Diagnosing the Standard Deviations of Background Error in a 4D-Var System and Filtering Method Investigation by Xiang Xing, Bainian Liu, Weimin Zhang, Xiaoqun Cao, Hongze Leng

“…The four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) method has been widely employed as an operational scheme in mainstream numerical weather prediction (NWP) centers. In addition to the ensemble data assimilation method, the randomization technique is still used to diagnose the standard deviations of background error in variational data assimilation (VAR) systems; however, such randomization techniques induce sampling noise, which may contaminate the quality of the standard deviations. …”

Evaluation Method of the Vertical Well Hydraulic Fracturing Effect Based on Production Data by Debin Xia, Zhengming Yang, Daolun Li, Yapu Zhang, Ying He, Yutian Luo, Anshun Zhang, Wenming Wang, Xinli Zhao

“…As the progress develops, the equivalent permeability and the area of the fracture gradually decrease as the fracturing effect gradually weakens, and so does the conductivity of the network decreasing exponentially; a good correlation is observed between the conductivity of the fracture network, the cumulative production, and fracturing construction parameters, which can serve as the evaluation parameters for the fracturing effects and the basis for fracturing productivity prediction and provide a guidance for fracturing optimization design.…”
