Study on the Characteristics of Sunshine Hours Changes in Tacheng Basin in Recent 50 Years

[Objective] The aim was to study the characteristics of sunshine hour changes in Tacheng in recent 50 years.[Method] By dint of the measured data of annual,seasonal and monthly sunshine hour’s changes in four meteorological observatories from 1960 to 2009,using linear regression analysis method,the characteristics of sunshine hour changes in Tacheng in recent 50 years were studied.[Result] The results showed that the annual average sunshine hours in Tacheng Basin in recent 50 years were above 2 800.0 h,among which Tacheng,Yumin had the most,2 936.1,2 921.3 h respectively and Emin the least,2 814.2 h.The sunshine hours were the most in autumn and summer,followed by winter,and were least in spring;sunshine hours during growth season in Tacheng and Yumin were the most,followed by Emin and then Tuoli.The linear tendency rate of sunshine hours in four stations in February was negative.But only the value in Tacheng,Emin decreased at a rate of-4.7 and-6.0 respectively;the linear tendency rate of sunshine hours in four stations in May,June and October were positive,but only Yumin station mounted at a rate of 14.5,12.6,11.2 h/10 a.The linear tendency of seasonal sunshine hours during the year and the growth season increased in Yumin at a rate of 74.9 and 60.5 h/10 a.The linear tendency rate of sunshine hours in four stations in winter was negative,among which the rate of Tacheng,Emin and Tuoli decreased at a rate of-5.5,-6.7,-4.9 h/10 a;that in other three seasons,only in Yumin,it increased most rapidly at a rate of 9.7,7.7 and 7.0 h/10 a.[Conclusion] The study provides theoretical reference for the adjustment and perfection of husbandry industry structure and optimization,reasonable development and utilization of solar energy resources.

Reservoir characteristics of Donghe well No.1 in Tarim Basin

Based on the techniques of X-ray diffraction analysis, identification of the thin sections of core cast, phys- ical analysis and scanning electron microscopy analysis, this paper studied the reservoir characteristics of the Carboniferous strata in Donghe well No.1 of Tarim region. The results show that the reservoir lithology is mainly the fine-grained quartz sandstone with ferrocalcite and pyrite, mud cement-based, the permeability concentrated in 5-40 × 10-3 μm2, a small part of the high permeability up to 150-327 ×10-3 μm2 and porosity ranged from 10% to 20%. The most part of the reservoirs is low perme- ability with a small part of the layer in moderate-high permeability. The types of reservoir space include intergranular pores, intra particle-molding pores, micro-pores and cracks, which mainly are intergranular pores with the pore diameter of 15-200 μm, 95.5μm on average. And the types of the throats are comolex with the main tvne of constricted l：hroats in this area and large contribution to the permeability.

Characteristics and genesis of clay minerals in the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin

In order to develop appropriate reservoir protection measures in the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin and improve its oil and gas recovery efficiency,characteristics of clay minerals from eleven clay rock samples from the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis,the Scanning Electron Microscope（SEM）and energy spectrum analysis.Clay mineral composition and distribution characteristics of the main hydrocarbon reservoirs,i.e.,from the Jurassic and Paleogene-Neogene,were explored.We analyzed the main factors which affected these attributes.The results show that the major clay minerals in the northern margin are chlorite,kaolinite,illite,smectite and illite/smectite inter-stratified minerals.Illite is the most widely spread clay mineral in this area. Chlorite is mainly found in the entire Neogene and in shallow horizons of the Paleogene.Smectite is enriched in the shallow Paleogene-Neogene.There are large amounts of kaolinite and illite/smectite inter-stratified minerals in the Jurassic.The major factors affecting the different development of clay minerals in the region are properties of parent rocks,paleoclimate and paleowater media conditions, diagenesis transformation,tectonic and terrain conditions.

Prediction of Flow Duration Curves for Ungauged Basins with Quasi-Newton Method

Prediction of flow-duration-curves (FDC) is an important task for water resources planning, management and hydraulic energy production. Classification of the basins as carstic and non-carstic may be used to estimate parameters of the FDC with predictive tools for catchments with/without observed stream flow. There is a need for obtaining FDC for ungauged stations for efficient water resource planning. Thus, study proposes a quite new approach, called the EREFDC model, for estimating the parameters of the FDC for which the parameters of the FDC are obtained with quasi-Newton method. Estimation are made for using the bv gauged stations at first than the FDC parameters are estimated for ungauged stations based on drainage area, annual mean precipitation, mean permeability, mean slope, latitude, longitude, and elevation from the mean sea level are used. The EREFDC model consists of various type of linear- and nonlinear mathematical equations, is able to predict a wide range of the FDC parameters for gauged and ungauged basins. The method is applied to 72 unimpaired catchments studied are about for 50 years average daily measured stream flow. Results showed that the EREFDC model may be used for estimating. FDC parameters for ungauged hydrological basins in order to find FDC for ungauged stations. Results also showed that the EREFDC model performs better in carstic regions than non-carstic regions. In addition, parameters of FDC for tributaries at the basins with insufficient flow data or without flow data may be determined by using basin characteristics.
