Seasonal dynamics of dissolved organic matter in a small tropical estuary-coastal bay continuum: distribution, transformation, flux, and global perspectives by Pengfei Liu, Kuan Jiang, Qi Tan, Fajin Chen, Renming Jia, Chao Wang, Chao Wang, Chao Wang, Chao Wang

“…This study analyzed dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chromophoric (CDOM), and fluorescent DOM (FDOM) over five cruises from summer 2021 to summer 2022 in the Suixi Estuary-Zhanjiang Bay continuum, a eutrophic tropical transition zone in the northwestern South China Sea. Seasonal variations were pronounced for DOM in the continuum and two endmembers. …”

A New Method for Research on Unsteady Pressure Dynamics and Productivity of Ultralow-Permeability Reservoirs by Kun Wang, Li Li, Xiao Chen, Wei Liang, Yong Yang, Zhenghe Yan, Jianwen Dai, Wei Li, Yahui Wang, Weifang Wang, Min Li, Danling Wang

“…At last, the method is applied to the well-test interpretation of low-permeability oil fields in the eastern South China Sea. The interpretation results turn out to be reasonable and can truly reflect the situation of low-permeability reservoirs, which can give guidance to the rational development of low-permeability reservoirs.…”
