Research on the Oil-Bearing Difference of Bedding Fractures: A Case Study of Lucaogou Formation in Jimsar Sag by Jia Lu, Chen Zhang, Jianhui Zeng, Haowei Yuan

“…In this paper, we examine and finely characterize the development of the bedding fractures found in the upper and lower sweet spots of Lucaogou formation of tight oil reservoir through field outcrop and core observation, cast thin section analysis, and imaging log recognition and investigate the factors affecting their differentiated oil-bearing by means of inclusion temperature measurement, TOC testing, physical property testing, high-pressure mercury injection, and physical simulation experiment. …”

The gold content of mafic to felsic potassic magmas by Jia Chang, Andreas Audétat, Thomas Pettke

“…Here, we report Au concentrations and Au/Cu ratios in silicate melt inclusions analyzed in potassic rocks worldwide. The results suggest that mafic potassic magmas generally contain only 2‒7 ng/g Au, despite common sulfide exhaustion during partial mantle melting. …”

Controlling injection conditions of a deep coaxial closed well heat exchanger to meet irregular heat demands: a field case study in Belgium (Mol) by Vlasios Leontidis, Edgar Hernandez, Justin Pogacnik, Magnus Wangen, Virginie Harcouët-Menou

“…The simulations showed that continuous adjustments to the injection temperature and/or flow rate are needed to restrict the rapid drop in outlet temperature and consequent thermal depletion of the rocks, caused by the highly transient nature of the diffusive heat transfer from the rocks to the wellbore, as well as to supply a specific heat demand, constant or irregular, over the long term. …”

A Rapid Cu Enrichment Mechanism from Cu-Bearing Brine in Kuqa Basin, Xinjiang, China: Controlled by Crystallized Sequence of Saline Minerals by Yangtong Cao, Haiming Xu

“…The Cu-bearing brine derived from meteoric waters and ancient seawater has a powerful capacity to leach metallic ions from its surrounding rocks and can be formed in a very short time (10 days is OK) in normal pressure and temperature conditions; also, the cycle of surface-Cu enrichment (mineralization) is only a few months (no more than 5). …”
