Depth Prediction of Karstic-Fault Reservoirs Based on Wellbore Temperature Measurements and Numerical Simulations by Jian Lei, Baozhi Pan, Yuhang Guo, YuFei Fan, Lihua Zhang

“…The proposed method was applied to a well located in the Tahe Oilfield of the Tarim Basin. The application of the method will aid in deepening our understanding of the distribution of fault-karst reservoirs, as well as in supporting the future stable and sustainable high-yielding oilfield production of similar reservoirs.…”

The Effect of Water Chemistry on Thermochemical Sulfate Reduction: A Case Study from the Ordovician in the Tazhong Area, Northwest China by Hongxia Li, Chunfang Cai, Lianqi Jia, Chenlu Xu, Ke Zhang

“…Formation water chemistry, sulfate sulfur isotopes, and associated H2S contents and sulfur isotopes were measured from the Ordovician in Tazhong area, Tarim Basin. The aim is to elucidate the effects of geochemical composition of formation water on thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) and potential usage of SO4/Cl ratios as a new proxy for TSR extents in areas, where H2S and thiaadamantanes (TAs) data are not available. …”

Climate Change Hotspots Identification in China through the CMIP5 Global Climate Model Ensemble by Huanghe Gu, Zhongbo Yu, Jigan Wang, Qin Ju, Chuanguo Yang, Chuanhao Fan

“…Both high (RCP8.5) and low (RCP4.5) greenhouse gas emission trajectories are tested, and both the mean and extreme seasonal temperature and precipitation are considered in identifying regional climate change hotspots. Tarim basin and Tibetan Plateau in West China are identified as persistent regional climate change hotspots in both the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. …”
