Ten recommendations for scanning foraminifera by X-ray computed tomography by A. Searle-Barnes, A. Brombacher, A. Brombacher, O. Katsamenis, O. Katsamenis, K. Rankin, M. Mavrogordato, T. Ezard

“…We focus on the primary X-ray parameters of <span class="inline-formula"><i>μ</i></span>CT imaging that a researcher can optimize according to their throughput, signal-to-noise ratio, and cost requirements to generate three-dimensional (3D; volumetric) datasets. We showcase the effect of these parameters on image quality through repeated scans on a single planktonic foraminifer that varied the X-ray beam power and energy, detector binning, number of projections, and exposure times.…”

Gas injection capacity of low permeability reservoirs considering microscopic characteristics by Yongxin MA, Qiaoliang ZHANG, Jinqi ZHU, Shuai MA, Xin WANG, Runhua ZHU

“…The results showed that the gas injection capacity in low permeability reservoirs undergoes three evolutionary stages: In the initial stage of gas injection (0 to 100 PV), gas preferentially displaces crude oil in larger pores, leading to a rapid reduction in bound water saturation and a sharp increase in gas-phase permeability, which significantly improves gas flooding efficiency. …”
