Deformation and movement characteristics of debris flow landslide: A case study of the Shaziba landslide in Enshi, China by Zijian SHI, Wen CHEN, Yifan SHENG, Guangli XU

“…On July 21, 2020, under the continuous influence of heavy rainfall, the Shaziba landslide in Enshi lost stability and transformed into a debris flow landslide, ultimately depositing within the Qing River, forming a dammed lake. To explore its kinematic features, such as velocity and displacement, during the Shaziba landslide’s sliding process and the evolving patterns of the landslide mass, a three-dimensional numerical model of the landslide was constructed using high-precision ortho-images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). …”

A review of design factors in steam and gas push for eco-friendly oil sands production and its field application in Canada by Sunghyun Kim, Hyundon Shin, Changhyup Park, Zhuoheng Chen, Kyungbook Lee

“…Sensitivity ranges for reservoir parameters include thief zone thickness of aquifer (0–0.5 times reservoir thickness), ratio of vertical to horizontal permeability for sandstone (0.3–0.65), and oil viscosity based on major oil sands regions in Canada (2,000,000 cp. for Athabasca, 200,000 cp. for Peace River, and 60,000 cp. for Cold Lake at 12 °C). Thicker thief zones increase heat loss and higher vertical permeability accelerates steam chamber rise, requiring earlier NCG injection. …”
