Single factor analysis and orthogonal experiments were adopted to verify the reliability and reveal the formation mechanisms and the controlling factors of the oil bank. Then the optimal conditions for the oil bank to form were discussed. The study results show the formation of the oil bank is controlled by 3 factors:(1) Oil bank would come into being within a certain temperature interval and above a critical value of temperature gradient(absolute value), with temperature too high or too low and temperature gradient absolute value lower than the critical value, the oil bank couldn't form.(2) For fire flooding process in heavy oil reservoirs, the viscosity of oil influences the width of oil bank and the speed at which oil bank forms; the lower the oil viscosity is, the wider the oil bank is and the faster the oil bank forms.(3) Oil saturation could affect the developing temperature and speed of oil bank. The favorable temperature at which oil bank develops gets lower and the accumulating speed of oil gets faster when the oil saturation is higher. By orthogonal experiments with the model, the optimal combinations of reservoir conditions for forming oil bank during fire flooding in heavy oil reservoirs can be worked out.展开更多

Skioni) on Cassandra peninsula of Chalkidiki(North Greece), and evaluated the effectiveness of post-fire flood and erosion control works. The drainage basins were chosen because of their severe damage by fire, post-fire potential for erosion and flood due to the steep relief, and the importance of the area for residential and tourism development. The first measures taken in the area after the fire were salvage cutting of burned trees, a total ban on grazing, and construction of three types of works, log erosion barriers(LEBs), log check dams and contour branch barriers. Almost all necessary post-fire works were completed in both catchments but many construction failures were recorded. Approximately 75 % of the LEBs and45 % of the contour branch barriers functioned properly,while the remainder failed. Nearly 80 % of the log dams were sedimented to 0–20 % of the dam height, 14.3 %were 20–40 % filled and 5.9 % collapsed. Despite these failures, peak discharge declined by 10.5 % in Chanioti and 20.4 % in N. Skioni catchment. The main reasons for works failures were the rush of construction and the limited supervision of workers, which resulted in floods during the years that followed.展开更多
