Study on the Applicability of Needle/Cone Penetration Experiment for Asphalt-Rubber by Zechen Yao, Renfeng Yang, Zhonglin Liu, Haichao An, Qingzhe Zhang, Wei Yuan

“…The standard deviations of the needle penetration experimental results for AR binders with #20, #30, #40, #60, and #80 mesh CR were 4.0, 3.8, 2.8, 1.1, and 1.1 times of cone penetration, respectively. This study shows that the cone penetration experiment has a significant advantage in evaluating the consistency of the AR binder with coarse CR.…”

Study on Microscopic Water Flooding in Porous Carbonate Reservoirs by Numerical Simulation by Tao Yu, Baozhu Li, Mingqiang Hao, Benbiao Song

“…During the secondary development, the remaining oil is hardly displaced even with the injection rate increased by a factor of 50, and it shows improvement after 250 times of initial injection rate. Changing the position of water inlet and the produced fluid outlet results in better recovery since the remaining oil near the new inlet and outlet can be effectively produced.…”
