Visualization simulation experiments and porosity evolution mechanisms of deep to ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs by Anping HU, Min SHE, Anjiang SHEN, Zhanfeng QIAO, Wenzheng LI, Qiuding DU, Changjian YUAN

“…This unit comprises four core modules: an ultra-high temperature, high pressure triaxial stress core holder module (temperature higher than 300 °C, pressure higher than 150 MPa), a multi-stage continuous flow module with temperature-pressure regulation, an ultra-high temperature-pressure sapphire window cell and an in-situ high-temperature-pressure fluid property measurement module and real-time ultra-high temperature-pressure permeability detection module. Using the new experimental device and the carbonate rock samples from the Sichuan Basin and Tarim Basin to simulate the dissolution-precipitation process of deep to ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs in an analogous geological setting, the geological insights were obtained in three aspects. …”

Determination of Tungsten, Molybdenum and 5 Associated Elements in Tungsten-Molybdenum Ore by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry with Direct Sintering by Zhou SONG, Yiping JI, Weihua WANG, Shaomin FANG, Jie YANG, Huoyan LUO, Yuqi ZHOU

“…However, the matrix effect cause by the alkali melting method seriously affects the accuracy and detection limit of instrument testing; the acid dissolution method has low dissolution efficiency for tungsten, molybdenum and other insoluble elements, and requires a long time and a complex pretreatment process by using a variety of inorganic strong acids such as hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia, which can also cause damage to the analytical and testing instruments.OBJECTIVESTo develop a simple and efficient method for quantitative analysis of tungsten and molybdenum and its associated elements in tungsten-molybdenum ore.METHODSBased on alkaline melting and acid dissolution, a method was established by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with direct sintering and complex extraction of hydrochloric acid-phosphoric acid-citric acid. …”

Hydrogen interaction in bulk fluids for geological storage application using NMR by Sidi Mamoudou, Son Dang, Chandra Rai

“…The results indicate that hydrogen predominantly remains in the free phase when interacting with water, as evidenced by fast relaxation times (1–20 ms) and no observed changes in T₂ with pressure, confirming limited dissolution. Similarly, hydrocarbons—including dodecane, dead oil, and wax—showed no evidence of hydrogen dissolution under NMR, as only free-phase hydrogen signals (1–20 ms) were detected. …”
