Yield Increasing and Quality Improving Effects of Smash-ridging Method("4453" Effects) and Its Potential in Benefiting the Nation and the People

Yuan Longping proposed that smash-ridging technology could be extend-ed widely nationwide. ln the research, smash-ridging technology reconstruct cultiva-tion layers with loose soils in agricultural fields, creating ＂4453＂ effects, as fol ows： ＂Four increases＂ include to increase loosen soil quantity in cultivation layers, soil nutri-ents use, ＂water pool＂ in soils, and ＂oxygen pool＂ in soils. Four reductions are to reduce soil erosion, carbon emission, salt content and heavy metal in soils. Five resistances refer to improve crop resistance capacity in terms of drought, high tem-perature, lower temperature, disease and lodging. Three improvements indicate to enhance photosynthetic efficiency over 10%, yield in 10%-30% and quality over 5%. lt is researched that without additional chemical fertilizer, yield could increase by 10% by labor force, animal, tractor or smash-ridging machine. What’s more, by smash-ridging cultivation, the depth can be 20 times or higher compared with tractor cultivation, with looser soils. lt is estimated that if smash-ridging cultivation is applied once in agricultural lands in China, present soil layers can be twice as deep as present. Specifical y, the thickness of loose soil-layers could be extended from 10-18 cm at present to 25-35 cm, and natural rainfal would increase by 40 bil ion cm3. After vitalization of soil nutrients, chemical fertilizer would decrease by 7 bil ion kg, and the increased c rops would feed more than 300 mil ion population as per yield at 7 50 kg/hm2.

Assessment of global solar resource development

With the increasing severity of environmental problems,many countries have set energy transition targets to promote the realization of the Paris Agreement.There has been a global consensus on utilizing solar energy resources as alternatives to conventional sources to support this energy transition.In this regard,analyzing the“location,”“quantity,”and“quality”of global solar energy resources will not only assist an individual country to efficiently utilize these resources but also promote the realization of large-scale intercontinental resource utilization and complementation.This study established the basic database,model methods,and platform tools for global solar energy assessment,Then,a global solar energy resource assessment was conducted,which included the theoretical reserves(TRs),technical installed potential capacity(TPIC),and average development cost(ADC).A comparative analysis of the assessment results for all continents was also performed.After that,based on big data analysis and geographic information system(GIS)calculations,the distribution characteristics of the global solar power TPIC were calculated with the two core indicators,namely the capacity factor and ADC.Furthermore,a data-driven quantitative evaluation of the refined development potential of solar energy resources was performed.Finally,the reasonableness and coincidence analysis of the resource assessment results were verified using data from global and specifically Chinese photovoltaic(PV)bases.

Status, trends and enlightenment of global oil and gas development in 2021

By analyzing the distribution of global oil and gas fields and the reasons why some oil and gas fields are not in production, the distribution characteristics of oil and gas remaining recoverable reserves and their year-on-year changes, the distribution characteristics of oil and gas production and their year-on-year changes, and the development potential of oil and gas to be tapped in 2021, this paper sorts out systematically the current status and characteristics of global oil and gas development, summaries the major trends of global oil and gas development, puts forward enlightenment for international oil and gas cooperation. In 2021, oil and gas fields were widely distributed, the number of non-producing oil and gas fields was large;the whole oil and gas remaining recoverable reserves declined slightly, unconventional oil and gas remaining recoverable reserves dropped significantly;the overall oil and gas production continuously increased, the outputs of key resource-host countries kept year-on-year growth;undeveloped oilfields had abundant reserves and great development potential. Combined with global oil and gas geopolitics, oil and gas industry development trends, oil and gas investment intensity, and the tracking and judgment of hotspot fields, the major trends of global oil and gas development in 2021 are summarized. On this basis, the four aspects of enlightenment and suggestions for international oil and gas cooperation and development strategies are put forward: attach great importance to the obligation of marine abandonment to ensure high-quality and long-term benefit development of offshore oil and gas;adhere to the principle of not going to dangerous and chaotic places, strengthen the concentration of oil and gas assets, and establish multi stable supply bases;based on the multi-scenario demand of natural gas, realize the transformation from integrated collaboration to full oil and gas industry chain development;increase the acquisition of high-quality large-scale assets, and pay attention to the continuous optimization of the shareholding ratio of projects at different stages.

Spatio-temporal Evolution Characteristics and Driving Mechanism of the New Infrastructure Construction Development Potential in China

With the advent of the era of big data and artificial intelligence, new infrastructure construction(NIC) has attracted the attention of many countries. The development of NIC provides an opportunity to bridge the digital divide and narrow the regional gap,providing continuous impetus to further promote economic development. Here, we considered 31 provincial-level administrative units in China(not including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan of China due to data unavailable) and established comprehensive evaluation indicators for the development potential of NIC. Afterward, we used the entropy-weight TOPSIS model to determine the development potential of NIC and analyze its spatio-temporal evolution characteristics. Furthermore, the GeoDetector model was applied to explore the driving mechanism of the NIC development potential. The conclusions were as follows: (1) The Chinese NIC development potential is generally low. The eastern China was the region with the highest development potential year by year, while the development potential in the central China was found to be in an accelerating phase. (2) The evolution of the Chinese NIC development potential’s spatial pattern has been characterized by an inland extension and coastal agglomeration. Moreover, we identified a superior development zone, a rising development zone, an inferior development zone, and a declining development zone. (3) The scope of Chinese NIC development potential agglomeration areas has gradually expanded and its degree has gradually deepened. The range of high-value agglomeration in eastern area gradually expanded and its degree gradually deepened. (4) Investment in innovative talents appears as the core factor affecting the Chinese NIC development potential. Whether acting alone or synergistically with other factors, its promoting effect on Chinese NIC development potential is the strongest.

Understanding Human Development Potentials and Demands for Greenhouse Gas Emissions:with Empirical Analysis using time series and cross-sectional data

Based on an investigation of the meaning of development, the neo-classical economic approach to development, and the post-welfarist theory of development, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for understanding human development potentials, while undertaking empirical analysis using cross-sectional and time series data on human development. Human development is associated with basic necessities for subsistence, the quality of life, and political and civil rights, in addition to income indicators. Our analysis suggests that the concept of human development potentials has two dimensions: the rights of development and limits to human development. Both are largely ignored in the neoclassical theory of development. However, human development is not unbounded, which approaches to a relatively fixed constant at given economic, technological and institutional conditions. This conceptual understanding is supported by results from the empirical examination of the relationships between demands for carbon

Connotation analysis, source-reservoir assemblage types and development potential of unconventional hydrocarbons in China

Through analysis of the connotation of unconventional hydrocarbons,the source-reservoir assemblages of unconventional hydrocarbons are divided into three types,i.e.,source-reservoir neighboring type,source-reservoir integration type,and source-reservoir separation type.The source-reservoir neighboring type resources mainly include tight oil and tight gas with the following formation conditions and characteristics:(1)efficient near-source accumulation close to high-quality source rocks with the pressure difference between source and reservoir as the dynamic force;(2)large-area tight reservoirs with certain porosity,dominated by micro-nanopores of inorganic origin;(3)distributed in depressions and slopes with large hydrocarbon-bearing area and great resource quantity,low abundance and local development of“sweet spots”;(4)weak tectonism.The source-reservoir integration type resources mainly include coalbed methane,shale gas,shale oil and oil shale.The formation conditions and characteristics are:(1)high abundance of organic matter,different types of organic matter and thermal evolution grades leading to formation of different resources types;(2)organic-rich sections are distributed continuously in the reservoiring space which is dominated by nanometer organic pores,interparticle pores and microfissures;(3)hydrocarbons mainly occur in free or adsorbed state,varying much with resource type;(4)the resources are self-conserved,and enriched in depressions and slopes,the conservation conditions are controlled by tectonics,temperature and pressure;(5)the production per well can be enhanced by volume fracturing,which increases the permeability of the reservoirs.The source-reservoir separation type resources are more special,mainly including(1)transformed conventional resources such as oil sand and heavy oil;(2)unsteady resources formed under special conditions of temperature and pressure,among which natural gas hydrate is a representative.These three types of resources in China are different in both development prospect and current situation:(1)the source-reservoir neighboring type is most practical and will develop fast in the next 5 years;(2)the source-reservoir integration type needs continuous exploration and technical breakthrough,and is expected to develop rapidly in the coming decade;(3)in the source-reservoir separation type resources,natural gas hydrates have the greatest development potential,on which technical tests are being conducted.

Reservoir and development characteristics of the Da'anzhai tight oil in Sichuan Basin,SW China

The oil in the Jurassic Da'anzhai reservoirs in the Sichuan Basin is unconventional tight oil,which accumulated in or near source rocks,and did not experience extensive migration in a large-scale long distance.The first submember,second submember and third submember of Da'anzhai Member are dominated by shell limestone which is widely and continuously distributed,and are typical near-source lacustrine shell limestone tight reservoirs.Complex lithology,multiple types of reservoir space and complicated pore structure are developed in these reservoirs.The effective reservoir space mainly includes micro-pores and micro-fractures with strong fabric selectivity.The petrophysics experiment reveals that the average connected matrix porosity of tight oil reservoir in Jurassic Da'anzhai Member is about 2.13%,lower than that of other tight oil reservoirs but higher than the average effective porosity(0.97%)from previous single alcohol-saturated method.According to production performance data,the Da'anzhai shell limestone reservoir is not a simple porous or fractured reservoir,but has complex porethroat-fracture association or storage-seepage mode.Because the development of fossil shells controls the development of micro-fractures,fluids are difficult to enter into but easy to escape from the reservoirs.Although the pore-throat is fine,the sorting is poor and the displacement pressure is high,the movable fluid saturation and mercury ejection efficiency of the reservoir in the Da'anzhai Member is only slightly lower than that of some storage-seepage modes,and higher than that of Oil-bearing Group 7 of Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin.The reservoir in the Da'anzhai Member is one of the few tight oil reservoirs with high natural productivity.The tight oil in the shell limestone of the Da'anzhai Member has great development potential,but its extensive and effective development also has some challenges,such as high seepage resistance of matrix and ineffective single development mode.The development mode of the Da'anzhai tight oil should draw lessons from the Bakken Formation in North America and Oil-bearing Gourp 7 of Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin,and thus,effective development technologies based on volume fracturing and fine operation for shell limestone tight oil in the Da'anzhai Member in Sichuan Basin are developed to realize the development of profit and scale.

The distribution, hydrocarbon potential, and development of the Lower Cretaceous black shales in coastal southeastern China

Lower Cretaceous black shales in coastal southeastern China are of significance to the geological study of the Tethys and Pacific realms and to hydrocarbon exploration of southeastern China and East China Sea. However, the stratigraphic correlation, distribution patterns and hydrocarbon potential of the black shales have not been well constrained so far. In this study, the zircon UePb ages, organic petrologic and geochemical analyses were performed for representative outcrop sections in the region. Zircon UePb ages demonstrate that the Lower Cretaceous black shales in coastal southeastern China can be divided into two regional-scale sets. The first set was deposited during the early stage of the Early Cretaceous（K_1~1, BerriasianeHauterivian）. The second set was deposited during the late stage of the Early Cretaceous（K_1~2）, and might extend to the Taiwan Strait. Detailed organic geochemical analyses including organic matter abundance, type and maturity of the Lower Cretaceous black shales demonstrate that the organic matter abundance of the sources reached medium to good quality by the hydrocarbon source rock standards, and the average TOC values and the chloroform bitumen ＂A＂ of the K_1~1 black shales are higher. The type of organic matter is mainly type III, type II can also be found from the K_1~2 black shales. The thermal maturity of most samples is high to overmature. A relatively comprehensive hydrocarbon resource evaluation indicates that favorable regions are in the northern Guangdong Province for the K_1~1 and in the coastal region of Zhejiang Province and the westernFujian Province for the K_1~2. Sedimentology studies on the Shipu section for the K_1~1 black shales illuminated that the K_1~2 black shales in coastal southeastern China were mainly deposited during transgressive period. The relative sea level changes controlled the sequential development pattern of the K_1~2 black shales.
