Fracture Modeling of Deep Tight Sandstone Fault-Fracture Reservoir Based on Geological Model and Seismic Attributes: A Case Study on Xu 2 Member in Western Sichuan Depression, Sich... by Jitong Li, Junlong Liu, Hongde Chen, Jianhua He, Ruyue Wang, Xupeng Shao, Xin Fang

“…Based on available data sources, including core samples, well logs, and outcrop data, we utilized a combination of geophysical and geological modeling techniques to clarify the characteristics of effective fractures in tight gas reservoirs. This allowed us to construct a geological model of a tight sandstone fault-fracture gas reservoir in the Xu 2 Member of the Xujiahe Formation located in the Xinchang area, which represents a fault-fracture reservoir formed by high-angle faulting-derived fractures and controlled by the S-N trending fault. …”

Imperfect bipolarity: The ‘third power’ factor in Soviet-American relations in the nuclear field (1958–1968) by V. А. Veselov

“…30 years after the end of the Cold War, bipolar structure still dominates in the nuclear sphere, although certain nuclear powers are closing the gap with Russia and the United States in terms of strategic arsenals and the system of world politics in general is moving towards polycentrism. At the same time, as US-Russian relations continue to deteriorate against the backdrop of the ‘Ukrainian crisis’, the prospects for strategic dialogue after the expiration of the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (New START) are becoming increasingly vague. …”
