Study on Corrosion Characterization and Mechanism of the Monitoring Tubing under Air-Foam Flooding Injection Well by NING Chuang, ZHANG Liwei, TONG Zhangbing, JING Zhengzheng, YIN Zhifu

“…Through long-term corrosion monitoring of the air-foam flooding injection well string on site， the corrosion characteristics of the inner and outer walls of J55 tubing at the upper and lower well sections in the air-foam flooding test area injection well environment were studied.The morphologies of the corrosion products were characterized by SEM and 3D confocal microscopy， and the compositions of the corrosion products were analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.Furthermore， the corrosion mechanism was explored and discussed.The results showed that J55 oil pipe had severe overall corrosion and varying degrees of localized corrosion， with more severe corrosion in the downhole section.The corrosion products on the inner and outer surfaces of different sections of the tubing were different， mainly including Fe0.925O，FeSx，Fe3O4 and FeO(OH).The structure of carbon steel tubing might form cracks and be transgranular micro-cracking during the service of air-foam flooding.…”

The mediating role of English learning motivation between socioeconomic status and pragmatic awareness by Xiaomeng Hui, Yuqing Chen

“…Therefore, this research aimed to address the link between learners’ SES and PA with the mediating effects of learning motivation based on the L2 motivation self-system (L2MSS) theory by surveying 292 Chinese EFL university students. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that: (1) SES had no significant effect on ought-to L2 self and intended learning efforts; (2) ought-to L2 self and intended learning efforts had significant predictive effects on PA; (3) SES positively and directly predicted EFL learners’ PA; and (4) ideal L2 self, attitudes toward L2 community, and attitudes toward learning English mediated the relationship between SES and Chinese EFL learners’ PA significantly.…”
