A New Model for Predicting Flow in Fractured-Vuggy Carbonate Reservoirs under Pseudosteady State Condition by Nai Cao, Gang Lei, Yuan Su, Hong Li, Jiali Zhang, Ci Zhang

“…The results show that well productivity during pseudosteady flow will be significantly affected by the morphology of fracture surface (e.g., fracture microstructure parameters) and effective stress. Specifically, due to effective stress, the fracture system in the fractured-vuggy reservoirs will be deformed, and the corresponding properties (e.g., permeability, porosity, and conductivity) will change, leading to the change of well productivity. …”

Oxidation Behavior of Matrix Graphite and Its Effect on Compressive Strength by Xiangwen Zhou, Cristian I. Contescu, Xi Zhao, Zhenming Lu, Jie Zhang, Yutai Katoh, Yanli Wang, Bing Liu, Yaping Tang, Chunhe Tang

“…Comparing with the strength of pristine MG specimens, the rate of compressive strength loss is 77.3% after oxidation at 550°C and only 12.5% for oxidation at 900°C. Microstructure images of SEM and porosity measurement by Mercury Porosimetry indicate that the significant compressive strength loss of MG oxidized at 550°C may be attributed to both the uniform pore formation throughout the bulk and the preferential oxidation of the binder.…”
