The recovery coefficient, remaining oil saturation, sweep efficiency and displacement efficiency were calculated and correlated layer by layer. The results show that the sweep efficiency and displacement efficiency work different effects on different layers in the severely heterogeneous reservoir. The study shows that the displacement efficiency and sweep efficiency play different roles in different layers for severely heterogeneous reservoirs. The displacement efficiency contributes mainly to the high permeability zones, the sweep efficiency to the low permeability zones, both of which contribute to the middle permeable zones. To improve the sweep efficiency in the low permeability zones is of significance for enhancing the whole recovery of the reservoir. It is an important path for improving the effectiveness of chemical flooding in the severely heterogeneous reservoirs to inject ternary combination slug after profile control.展开更多

X-ray diffraction and optical polarising microscope are used in evaluating black shale minerals. Attrition scrubbing and flotation were conducted for enrichment of organic matter in the black shale sample. Mineralogical studies revealed that black shale samples contain bituminous calcareous clay stone, quartz, apatite and pyrite. Rabah mine black shale contains 28% organic matter. The results of the different separation techniques indicate that attrition and flotation techniques successively enriched the organic matter in the black shale. The organic matter could be enriched in the black shale and obtained a concen- trate with 59% assavinz and 85% recovery.展开更多

However, the degradation products of ISC, i.e., soluble collagen （SC）, is often neglected and abandoned. In this work, we try to separate the extracts of ancient bones using gel chromatography and compare the contents of carbon and nitrogen, atomic C/N ratio, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of the extracts from three peaks to determine which peak can be at- tributed to SC. At last, the potential application of SC in palaeodietary research is discussed based on the comparison of stable isotopic values between ISC and SC. Among the three peaks, the second with the retention time between 17.5 min and 27.5 min had the most broad peak shape, indicating that the molecular weights of proteins collected were most variable. Besides, the contents of carbon and nitrogen and atomic C/N ratio of extracts in this peak were closest to the corresponding ISC. Based on the above, we conclude that the extract in second peak is SC. More important, the δ13c and δ15N values of ISC and SC are very similar. For ISC and SC with atomic C/N ratios within the normal range （2.9-3.6）, the mean difference of δ13C value was only （0.3±0.2）%o （n=2） while δ15N value was （0.6±0.1）‰ （n=2）. Although the atomic C/N ratios of some SC are slightly be- yond the normal range, the mean differences of δ13C and δ15N values were still only （0.4±0.1）‰and （0.3±0）‰ （n=2） respec- tively. These isotopic differences are quite below the isotope fractionation in one trophic level δ13C values of 1‰-1.5‰ and 615N values of 3‰-5‰）, suggesting that SC had great application potentials in palaeodietary research.展开更多
