Full textAbstract:
The presence of oil films in three phase flow of oil, water and gas through reservoir rocks has a significant effect on the recovery efficiency associated with various Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes like Water Alternating Gas (WAG) and Gas-Assisted Graviry Drainage (GAGD). Visualization of these oil films helps in having a better understanding of the conditions required for the formation of such films in a rock pore network. In this work, we have used a microfluidic platform consisting of Norland Optic Adhesives-81(NOA81) that better mimics the reservoir rock pore geometry, to visualize the oil films in different spreading systems. NOA81 is a transparent polymer with high chemical and physical resistance, which enabled the device to withstand harsh organic solvents as well as high pressures and temperatures encountered in the EOR experiments. This device was designed with pore network similar to that of a consolidated water wet porous rock with varying channel widths and taper, unlike various other platforms using regular square or constant channel width grids. This modification resulted in a more realistic representation of the actual pore network of reservoir rocks. Continuous thinner oil films were observed in the positive spreading system, whereas discontinuous trapped oil blobs were encountered in the negative spreading system. Statistical analysis carried out on the thickness of the oil phase separating water and gas phases indicated significant differences and confirmed the visual observations.

Full textAbstract:
We present a mathematical model of the fracturing of water-saturated rocks and other porous materials in cold climates. Ice growing inside porous rocks causes large pressures to develop that can significantly damage the rock. We study the growth of ice inside a penny-shaped cavity in a water-saturated porous rock and the consequent fracturing of the medium. Premelting of the ice against the rock, which results in thin films of unfrozen water forming between the ice and the rock, is one of the dominant processes of rock fracturing. We find that the fracture toughness of the rock, the size of pre-existing faults and the undercooling of the environment are the main parameters determining the susceptibility of a medium to fracturing. We also explore the dependence of the growth rates on the permeability and elasticity of the medium. Thin and fast-fracturing cracks are found for many types of rocks. We consider how the growth rate can be limited by the existence of pore ice, which decreases the permeability of a medium, and propose an expression for the effective ‘frozen’ permeability.

Full textAbstract:
In this work, we investigated the influence of oxygen plasma on the growth of nickel cobaltite (NiCo2O4) thin films compared to growth in a molecular oxygen atmosphere. The films were grown on MgO(001), MgAl2O4(001) and SrTiO3(001) substrates by oxygen plasma (atmosphere of activated oxygen)-assisted and reactive molecular beam epitaxy (molecular oxygen atmosphere). Soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that only the use of oxygen plasma led to a spectrum characteristic of (NiCo2O4). Low energy electron diffraction measurements were conducted to obtain information on the structure of the film surfaces. The results proved the formation of a spinel surface structure for films grown with oxygen plasma, while the formation of a rock salt structure was observed for growth with molecular oxygen. To determine the film thickness, X-ray reflectivity measurements were performed. If oxygen plasma were used to grow (NiCo2O4) films, this would result in lower film thicknesses compared to growth using molecular oxygen although the cation flux was kept constant during deposition. Additional X-ray diffraction experiments delivered structural information about the bulk structure of the film. All films had a rock salt bulk structure after exposure to ambient conditions. Angle-resolved hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed a homogeneous depth distribution of cations of the grown film, but no typical (NiCo2O4) spectrum anymore. Thus, on the one hand, (NiCo2O4) films with a spinel structure prepared using activated oxygen were not stable under ambient conditions. The structure of these films was transformed into NiCo oxide with a rock salt structure. On the other hand, it was not possible to form (NiCo2O4) films using molecular oxygen. These films had a rock salt structure that was stable under ambient conditions.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractRock coatings have been observed on Mars by Mars Pathfinder, Viking and the Mars Exploration Rovers. Although rock varnish has been studied for its potential as a biosignature, other types of rock coating have been largely ignored. In Kärkevagge, Swedish Lapland, sulphate crusts, aluminium glazes and Fe/Mn films occur with mineralogies mimicking those observed on the surface of Mars. Molecular analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the bacterial communities associated with these rock coatings. Molecular techniques revealed differences in community structure and metabolisms associated with the production of secondary minerals between the three coating types. SEM analysis showed evidence of encrustation in mineral coatings in the Fe/Mn films and aluminium glazes, and evidence of abundant microbial communities in all three coating types. These observations provide evidence for bacterial participation in the genesis of rock coatings. For astrobiology on Mars, rock coatings are an attractive biosignature target scientifically and logistically: they are surface environments easily accessible by rovers, endoliths are afforded protection from surface conditions, and evidence of life could potentially be preserved through biomineralization and lithification. This study describes the bacterial communities from rock coatings compatible with martian mineralogy, explores the potential for biologically facilitated rock-coating formation, and supports rock coatings as targets of astrobiological interest on Mars.

Full textAbstract:
Archie’s empirical power laws are strictly valid only for homogeneous, water-wet (WW) rocks deprived of microporosity or substantial clay-exchange cations. When these conditions are not met, non-Archie electrical behavior arises whereby relationships among rock resistivity, porosity, and water saturation no longer exhibit power-law dependence. Currently, such an unreliable behavior of empirical laws can be quantified only through pore-scale modeling of electrical conductivity under specific sets of geometric assumptions and with substantial computation memory requirements. We introduce a new geometric concept to simulate direct-current electrical-conductivity phenomena in arbitrary rock models on the basis of 3D grain and pore objects that include explicit distributions of intragranular porosity, clay-exchange cations, nonwetting fluid blobs, thin films, and pendular rings. These objects are distributed in the pore space following simple heuristic principles of drainage/imbibition that honorcapillary-pressure curves. They provide a simple way to parameterize the 3D pore space and to calculate the electrical conductivity of porous media saturated with two immiscible fluid phases by way of diffusive random walks within the brine-filled pore space. Not only is the random-walk method memory efficient but it also allows the inclusion of clay/brine cation exchange surfaces otherwise not possible with conventional pore-network models. By comparing results stemming from random-walk, pore-network, and percolation simulations, we show the importance of grain surface roughness and thin film thickness, even in water-wet rocks where those factors usually are neglected. For the case of strongly oil-wet rocks, we show that thin films, snap-offs, and pore microgeometry have a primary impact on hysteresis-dominated rock resistivity during imbibition (increasing water saturation). Our simulation method agrees well overall with percolation simulation results and is advantageously unaffected by assumptions concerning site-percolation imbibition.

В статье на материале анализа художественных и документальных фильмов периода перестройки (режиссеры С. Кулиш, Р. Нугманов, В. Огородников, Ю. Подниекс, С. Соловьёв, А. Учитель) выявляются социокультурные функции рок-музыки, ее роль как важнейшего элемента кинематографического языка в создании атмосферы картин, формировании характеров главных персонажей, основного конфликта. Автор раскрывает функцию рока в драматургии фильмов и в то же время показывает, как рок в союзе с кинематографом отражал дух времени, создавал социальный портрет поколения. Он влиял на их драматургическое решение не только своими собственно музыкальными качествами, своей звуковой атмосферой, но и всем социокультурным контекстом. Этот шлейф ассоциаций наполнял картины многослойным содержанием, активно «работал» в условиях новой концептуальной и аудиовизуальной среды. On the basis of the analysis of the feature films and documentaries of the Perestroika period (films directed by S. Kulish, R. Nugmanov, V. Ogorodnikov, Yu. Podnieks, S. Soloviev, A. Uchitel) the sociocultural functions of the rock music are revealed. The article considers the rock music as the most important element of the cinematic language, which creates the atmosphere of the film, forms the personalities of the main characters, reveals the main conflict of works. The author reveals the role of rock in the dramaturgy of the films and at the same time shows how rock in the union with the cinematography reflected the spirit of the times, created a social portrait of the generation. Rock influenced their dramaturgy not only with its musical qualities, sound atmosphere, but also with the whole sociocultural context. This series of associations filled the movies with multi-layer content, actively worked in the new conceptual and audiovisual environment.

Full textAbstract:
Prediction of rock fracturing capacity demands particular requirements for the exploitation of mineral resources, especially for the parameter design of conical pick performance for hard rock fragmentation, which must take into account differences in rock mechanical properties. Among these parameters, the peak cutting force (PCF) is important in designing, selecting, and optimizing the cutting head of mining equipment and a cutability index of rocks. Taking high lithological tolerance as demand traction, this study proposes a theoretical model for estimating the peak cutting force of conical picks based on the improved projection profile method for which the influence of alloy head, pick body structure, and installation parameters are taken into consideration. Besides, experimental results corresponding to different numbers of rock samples are used to verify the accuracy and stability of the theoretical model. Meanwhile, the comparison of performance in cutting force estimation between this model and four other existing theoretical models is conducted. The results found that the new method has the highest correlation coefficient with the experimental results and the lowest root mean square error comparing with other models, i.e., the estimation performance of this method has high lithological tolerance when the rock type increases and the lithology changes. Consequently, the proposed peak cutting force estimation of improved projection profile method will provide a more valid and accurate prediction for rock fracturing capacity with large differences in rock mechanical properties.

Full textAbstract:
Popular music and film are separate media, framed by specific discourses, histories of
distribution and reception, semiotic relationships and literacies. Through these divergent
manifestations and ideologies nodes of convergence exist. At moments of connection,
new and innovative textual and contextual possibilities emerge, transforming the ways in
which audiences both engage and read these media. Whilst often driven by capitalist
goals, both popular music and film capture and tether personal expression and collective
memory. Through these processes of signification, popular cultural texts belonging to
both media forms are able to resist their commodified origins to inform and construct
both collective and individual identities.
This thesis charts the movement of popular music across cinema. RocknRoll is utilized
not only as an amalgam of texts made up of sounds and images, but also as a critical and
interpretative apparatus through which specific cultural identities are configured. This
work is concerned with various manifestations of political resistance in popular culture,
and the ways in which this resistance is moderated through cultural commodification.
Using an interdisciplinary approach converging film analysis, popular music studies
and music journalism this thesis constructs an ideological framework through which
film and popular music can be aligned, and through which this alignment can be
researched.
Through an engagement with myriad cinematic and popular cultural texts, executed through interdisciplinary methods, this thesis establishes a theoretical framework for
understanding and analyzing the convergence of popular music and cinema. Its original
contribution to knowledge is an evaluation of the ways in which these media are changed
through their alignment and how they inform each other both structurally, as tangible
manifestations of specific media codes and structures, and politically, in the ideological
embodiment of particular identities and representational realities. This goal is achieved
through the selection of specific research materials, especially those which have not been
subject to detailed investigation in other scholarly studies. Specific filmic and musical
texts are discussed because they embody the aesthetic and political synergy of these two
media forms as well as demonstrating the cultural processes through which this synergy
is enacted.
This thesis offers interdisciplinary dialogue as a valid strategy to understand the
processes involved in the creation and reception of texts which are cinematic in nature
but utilize the language and discourse of popular music. The textual and contextual
manifestations of this process are a primary concern. Emphasis is placed on the
implications for film form in terms of the structure of texts and their existence within
specific genres, the shifting position of the auteur and the renegotiation of the term and its
meaning to film and popular music, and the conjunction and interaction between
creativity and commerce. In addressing the political and aesthetic possibilities of the film
and popular music hybrid, as well as the cultural implications of their convergence, this
thesis provides new perspectives for the analysis of both forms.

Cette thèse est une étude linguistique et discursive d'un corpus constitué de longs métrages documentaires consacrés à la musique populaire anglophone au 20ème siècle : rock, folk, blues punk, électro. Nous proposons en premier lieu une description des films du corpus tenant compte de critères formels, discursifs et narratifs. Nous voyons notamment de quelle façon le montage permet une articulation entre micro et macro-discours, ainsi que la création de pseudo-dialogues et d'une chaîne anaphorique plurisémiotique. Nous observons également un certain nombre de traits narratifs récurrents au sein des micro-récits comme des macro-récits et postulons qu'ils participent à l'expression de normes propres à la culture rock. La deuxième partie de cette étude est fondée sur la recherche de traces linguistiques de l'insoumission généralement prêtée au rock. Nous constatons grâce à une analyse textométrique une certaine plasticité du tabou langagier qui s'explique par les environnements dans lesquels apparaissent les mots grossiers. D'autre part, le corpus contient un grand nombre de transgressions interactionnelles révélatrices de la manière dont cette rébellion supposée innée est construite et gérée au sein du discours médiatique. Enfin la troisième partie de cette étude est consacrée aux contre-discours produits dans et par les documentaires musicaux, lesquels ont notamment pour but de corriger un discours doxique jugé fautif, de souligner de façon réflexive les limites du langage ou du discours artistique médiatique ou encore de valoriser l'indicible et des moyens d'expression alternatifs, ce que nous nommons la logophobieThis thesis is a linguistic and discursive study of documentaries on 20th century popular music in English-speaking countries: rock music, folk, blues, punk and electro. We first suggest a description of the corpus based on formal, discursive and narrative criteria. We see how editing allows an articulation of micro and macro-discourses as well as the creation of pseudo-dialogues and of a plurisemiotic anaphoric chain. We also notice certain patterns among micro-stories and macro-stories, which we believe are the expression of specific cultural norms. The second part of this study in based on the research of linguistic expressions of rock's supposedly innate rebellion. Corpus analysis shows the plasticity of linguistic taboo and of the use of swearwords, depending on the environment in which they appear. Besides, the corpus contains an important number of interactional transgressions that show how rock's rebellion is actually built and dealt with in media discourse. The third part of this study deals with the counter-discourses that are produced within and by music documentaries. These discourses aim at correcting a faulty doxa, they reflectively question the limits of speech and discourse, whether in songs or in the media, and tend to valu the unsa yable as well as alternative means of expression what we refer to as logophobia

Full textAbstract:
Rock fills that hit the seabed will remold the underlying material. If this material is a clay with sufficiently low shear strength, it will adopt rheological properties, causing flow through the rock fill, and contributing to the initial settlements of the rock fill in addition to conventional consolidation theory. The settlements of the rocks depend upon the height of the rock fill and how the rocks have been laid out. This is due to the viscosity of the clay, and the fact that clay is thixotropic. Thixotropy causes the viscosity to increase with decreased shear rate. The settlements finally come to a stop due to frictional forces from the surface area of the rocks. Clay is a non-newtonian Bingham fluid and will have a laminar flow through the rock fill. The Kozeny-Carman model is the most appropriate model for determining the permeability with laminar fluid flow through porous media. A clay with water content 52% and shear strength 0,35kPa had a viscosity in a viscometer of $eta$ = 7,8Pas. Comparing theoretical and experimental results for immediate and layered loading of the rock fill showed clay viscosities of 7Pas and 40Pas respectively.

Melendez, Elisa M. "For Those About to Rock: Gender Codes in the Rock Music Video Games Rock Band and Rocksmith." FIU Digital Commons, 2018. https://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/3685.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores gender codes within the intersection of two American pop culture staples, video games and rock music, by conducting a feminist analysis of two video games (Rock Band and Rocksmith). Both video games and rock music have had their share of feminist academic critique: Musicologists point out how lack of canonical inclusion, gendered attitudes towards instruments, and messages from supporting media create an unwelcome environment for women to pursue a rock music career. Game studies scholars have examined similar attitudes, including a lack of women represented in both the video games and the studios that create them.
Through a mix of creator and player interviews, participant observation, content analysis, and autoethnography, I look at the intersection of these two literatures (the rock music video game) to see how gender is hard-coded into the game, and what opportunities, if any, exist for subversion of societal and industry gender norms. Through not just looking at the game as text, I present a more “thick description” of a video game that takes into account the creators of the games, the players that play them, and a researcher that occupies multiple identities within the space. I argue that, in an effort to replicate an authentic rock musician experience in a video game, Rock Band and Rocksmith often replicate a lot of these gendered messages. The games’ text and set list emphasize a male-centric rock music canon. Rocksmith’s original whiskey-soaked visual design and marketing skew heavily towards an older male demographic. However, resistances to these codes exist in both the players who defy expectations by showing up to perform and compete, as well as the creators who actively work to make these games more inclusive via changes to future games as well as inclusive hiring practices, marketing, and music sourcing (with varying degrees of success).

Full textAbstract:
Experiment in any art discipline attracts attention and is associated with the beginnings, immaturity, and experiencing the new. If in the 21st century an experimental tendency is emerging in film, a medium and discipline considered to be exhausted and in decline, it is unsettling.
In Argentine film, experiment is first mentioned in connection with the non-conformist art scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Filmmakers Narcisa Hirsch and Claudio Caldini are representatives of that decade; they are also witnesses who connect this "first" era with the first and second decade of the 21st century, since they are, once again, among contemporary Argentine artists who turn to film as the medium for experiment.
Whether or not it is possible to talk about a tradition of experimental film in Argentina is not as substantial as (acknowledging) the conditions which accompanied its rise in the two periods mentioned. The 1970s were a period marked by the regime of military dictatorship. The year 2001 represents a turning point in which economic, political and social crisis erupted. In both instances, the circumstances wholly pervaded the life of the society and its art and can be seen as critical. Whether crisis creates the potential for experiment is an open question underlaying reflections on the contemporary possibilities of experimental film and art
in general.
The present work aims to compare the wider social and cultural conditions and creative and production strategies of filmmakers in the 1970s with the conditions and strategies of the filmmakers working after 2001 in Buenos Aires. Furthermore, with regard to the expansion of the audiovisual scene and its transformation into the field of arts of the moving image, it proposes to look at contemporary experimental film in Argentina through the practices of authors from different fields of art such as Claudio Caldini, Pablo Mazzolo and Andrés Denegri.

We carried out drying studies on a 2.5D micromodel based on a thin section of a carbonate rock to investigate the impact of wettability on the capillary disconnect, the moment when liquid films de-pin from the external evaporating surface. While this is coincident with the transition to low evaporation rate (diffusion limited) for deionized-water, our experiments show, the corner wetting films persisted after the transition to low evaporation rate for both water-wet and mixed-wet micromodels for brine, as solid salt continued to build up at the external evaporating surface. Fully oil wet micromodels showed a drying rate transition coincident with de-pinning. Keywords: Capillary; Liquid films; Micromodel; Wettability; Crystallization

Abstract Previous studies on smart water effects have suggested wettability alteration as the most significant mechanism for additional oil recovery during smart water injection. Though many other mechanisms have been observed and proposed in several other studies, much more attention is paid to the detachment of oil films from rock surfaces. It is, however, clear from prevailing understanding that the activities at oil/brine interfaces might require as much attention as given to the brine/rock interfaces. This paper presents diffuse double layer surface complexation modelling of the adsorption of potential determining (Ca2+, Mg2+ and SO42-) ions on oil carboxylic and carbonate surfaces. Surface complexation models are developed by defining the adsorption sites, surface area and mass of the oil and carbonate surfaces. The chemical reactions involving the surface sites and five different brine solutions are also defined. The brine solutions include formation water, sea water, sea water diluted 20 and 50 times, and sea water with four times SO42- concentration. The amount of the divalent ions adsorbed at pH range of 5 to 8 are determined after the reactions had reached equilibrium. Adsorption of the ions on oil carboxylic and carbonate surfaces at elevated temperature for the sea water is also investigated. Results show that significant number of divalent ions are collected at the oil/brine interfaces just as adsorbed at the brine/rock interfaces. The results suggest that the equilibrium reactions and the dynamics at the two mathematical interfaces in any oil/brine/rock systems are equally important to reach a full understanding of the main mechanisms behind smart water effects. Therefore, the dynamics of ionic reactions at the oil/brine interface can play critical roles in defining smart water effects on residual oil mobilization.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We investigated pore-scale oil displacement and rock wettability in tertiary low salinity waterflooding (LSW) in a heterogeneous carbonate sample using high-resolution three-dimensional imaging. This enabled the underlying mechanisms of the low salinity effect (LSE) to be observed and quantified in terms of changes in wettability and pore-scale fluid configuration, while also measuring the overall effect on recovery. The results were compared to the behavior under high salinity waterflooding (HSW). To achieve the wetting state found in oil reservoirs, an Estaillades limestone core sample was aged at 11 MPa and 80°C for threeweeks. The moderately oil-wet sample was then injected with high salinity brine (HSB) at a range of increasing flow rates, namely at 1, 2,4, 11, 22 and 42 µL/min with 10 pore volumes injected at each rate.Subsequently, low salinity brine (LSB) was injected following the same procedure. X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was usedto visualize the fluid configuration in the pore space.A total of eight micro-CT images, with a resolution of 2.3 µm/voxel, wereacquired after both low salinity and high salinity floods.These high-resolution images were used to monitor fluid configuration in the porespace and obtain fluid saturations and occupancy maps. Wettabilitywascharacterized by measurements of in situ contactanglesand curvatures. The results show that the pore-scale mechanisms of improved recovery in LSW are consistent with the development of water micro-dropletswithin the oil and the expansion of thin water films between the oil and rock surface. Before waterflooding and during HSW, the measured contact angles were constant and above 110°, while the meancurvature and the capillary pressure values remained negative, suggesting that the HSB did not change the wettability state of the rock. However, with LSW the capillary pressure increased towards positive values as the wettability shifted towards a mixed-wet state. The fluidoccupancy analysis reveals a salinity-induced change in fluid configuration in the pore space. HSB invaded mainly the larger pores and throats, but with LSW brine invaded small-size pores and throats.Overall,our analysis shows that a change from a weakly oil-wet towards a mixed-wet state was observed mainly after LSW, leading to an incremental increase in oil recovery. This work established a combined coreflooding and imaging methodology to investigate pore-scale mechanisms and wettability alteration for tertiary LSW in carbonates.It improves our understanding of LSW asan enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method for potential field-scale applications. The data provides a valuable benchmark for pore-scale modelling as well as an insight into how even modest wettability changes can lead to additional oil recovery.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Surfactant-based chemical flooding systems, e.g. alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding, surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding and surfactant (S) active water flooding, is an efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods for sandstone reservoirs. The previous mechanism research of surfactant-based chemical flooding focused mainly on reducing the interfacial tensions (IFT) and phase behavior characteristics. There are few researches on removing oil film on the rock in three phases (crude oil-water-rock) interface. This mechanism is very important under the condition that oil film is mainly involved in the residual oil of low/ultra-low permeability reservoir and unconventional resources. Our research will focus on removing the oil film from the hydrophobic rock surface using surfactant-based flooding systems (S, SP and ASP). The factors on performance of stripping oil film were systematically studied. Experiments related performances of crude oil drop contact angle and detachment time from oil-wet rock model surface with different surfactant-based flooding systems were conducted. The contact angle and detachment time of oil drops in three phases interface were measured by OCA20 contact angle instrument. IFT between oil and surfactant solutions were tested using Texas-500C spinning drop interfacial tensiometer. The mechanism of different surfactant-based chemical systems on removing oil film at low surfactant concentration was discussed. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The contact angle of oil drops on oil-wet rock surface could reach a stable equilibrium in brine and low concentration of petroleum sulfonate solution. But the contact angle of oil drop in nonionic surfactant orampholytic surfactant solution was changing with time and the oil film could be removed from the rock surface ultimately. (2) The oil detachment times were changing with different surfactant systems. Oil drop detachment behavior was also related with its lowest instantaneous IFT. When the lowest instantaneous IFT was below around 5×10−2 mN/m, the contact angle changed with time and oil drop could be detached from the rock surface by necking and snap-off phenomena. (3) The addition of alkali to surfactant solution contributes to oil film stripping and enhances its ability to reduce oil/water IFT. Compared with S system, the oil film detached times by SP system was longer. Compared with S or SP systems, the oil film detachment time by ASP system was much shorter. Different alkali types significantly affected the oil film detached times. (4) The kinetics equation of stripping oil film from rock was established. The results were important for deeply understanding of oil displacement mechanism of surfactant-based chemical flooding in porous medium. Through combined wettability alteration and reducing IFT, the residual oil on oil-wet rock could be recovered more efficient. For the first time, the effects of stripping oil film by surfactant-based chemical flooding systems were studied both considered wettability and IFT performance. This fundamental research will set a foundation for screening and optimizing more efficient chemical flooding systems for IOR/EOR application.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Microfluidics is an emerging technology that has gained attention by the industry for its capabilities to investigate and visualize fundamental recovery mechanisms at the pore scale in a microdevice, mimicking, to some extent, the actual rock pore-network. While current technologies are capable of building micromodels that are either water-wet or oil-wet, a technique to achieve a representative mixed-wet property is still unreached. In this work, we introduce a novel surface coating capability using thin film deposition to fabricate surfaces with selective wettability, oil-wet and water-wet, an effort to mimic actual mixed-wet rock. This unique approach enables the generation of hydrophobic surfaces in selected regions by altering the hydrophilic surface property of silicon substrate at the microscale. A selective wettability control mask and Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) hydrophobic coating using molecular vapor deposition (MVD) were used for surface wetting properties alteration. Surface measurements, including contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Transmission Electron Spectroscopy (TEM) imagining, were performed to evaluate the thin-film composition and morphology. By altering the wetting state of the substrate by the coated film, a selective mixed wettability surface was achieved. This technique has the potential to be utilized in microfluidic device developments. Tuning the wetting state of the substrate to mimic the mixed-wet characteristics of reservoir rocks, such as carbonates and shales, can enhance our understanding of complex fluid behaviors in porous media and provide a crucial contribution to many subsurface petroleum engineering applications such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 storage.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Spatial image resolution has limited previous attempts to characterize the thin film flow of oil sandwiched in-between gas and water in a three-phase fluid system This paper describes how a systematically designed displacement experiment can produce imagery to define the film flow process in a 3D pore space of water-wet sandstone rocks. We image multiphase flow at the pore scale through three displacement experiments conducted on water-wet outcrop rock with variable spreading tendencies. The experiment has been formulated to observe the relationship between fluid spreading, phase saturations, and pore-scale displacement mechanisms. We provide exhaustive evidence of the three-phase fluid configurations that serve as a proxy mechanism assisting the fluid displacement process in a three-phase system, which includes the oil sandwiches in-between water and gas, the flow of oil via clay fabrics, and the double-displacement process that generates oil and water film in 3D pore spaces. Further, we show evidence that the stable thin-oil film has enhanced the gas trapping mechanism in the water-wet rocks. We observed that the oil layer had covered the isolated and trapped gas blobs, enhancing their stability. As a result, the trapped gas in the positive and zero spreading systems is slightly higher than in the negative spreading system due to a stable oil film. We analyze the Euler characteristic of the individual fluid phases and the interface pair of the fluids during waterflooding, gas injection, and chase water flooding. The comparison of the Euler characteristic for the connected and disconnected fluid phases between three different spreading systems (i.e., positive, zero, and negative) shows that the oil layer's connectivity is highest in the positive spreading system and lowest in the negative spreading system. The oil layer in the positive spreading system is also thicker than in the negative spreading system.

ABSTRACT The annulus outside the casing of a deep well is often left open after completion, however it is observed in numerous shale formations that the shale creeps in and closes the annulus, thus forming a "shale barrier". This is a gradual process which implies that the sealing efficiency of the barrier is also developing gradually. This paper describes small scale laboratory tests on an outcrop shale, where long-term development of shale barrier efficiency is studied. The test conditions are such that creep is likely to be the dominating process during the tests. The results show that the sealing efficiency of the shale barrier improves with time. The magnitude of the improvement depends on the stress conditions and the conditions prior to the initiation of the barrier. The final value of the sealing efficiency appears to depend primarily on the net stress which corresponds to the in-situ stress minus the in-situ pore pressure. Impacts of rock properties and annulus gap size were not investigated in this study. Theoretical considerations suggest that the seal improvement process can be significantly faster even at moderately higher formation temperatures. INTRODUCTION "Shale barrier" is a commonly used term for a natural barrier against uncontrollable flow outside the casing of a deep well through a shale formation. A shale barrier is formed as the shale creeps in and fills the initially open annulus between rock and casing, usually without dedicated interference by the operator (Williams et al., 2009; Kristiansen et al, 2018). Such barriers represent huge cost savings for the operator, as it may reduce or even eliminate the need for time-consuming cement jobs. It is essential however that the long-term sealing efficiency of the barriers can be trusted. The presence of barriers outside the casing is usually detected by indirect, acoustic methods which may reveal whether the casing is in contact with a solid material or only fluid (Williams et al., 2009). The sealing efficiency of such barriers can only be tested by leak-off or pressure communication tests, however such tests are either very time consuming or rather inaccurate (Raaen and Fjær, 2020). The long-term sealing efficiency of shale barriers is therefore rarely studied in the field.

ABSTRACT: Due to the transcendental property of nanoparticle, nanoparticle fluid flooding becomes one of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique, which had played a significant role in tight oil exploitation in the worldwide scale recent years. In particular, the amphiphilic nanomaterials can greatly increase the oil recovery. To provide some guidance in selecting nanomaterials for flooding, 3 kinds of amphiphilic nanomaterials, including silicon dioxide (SiO2), graphene oxide (GO) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), are chosen to serve as object of the study. In lab, the physical properties were systematically characterized and flooding was conducted. Further, the morphology character of nanomaterials was placed extra emphasis and the mechanisms of EOR were also studied. The purpose was to find the link between the morphology of nanomaterials and EOR. Flooding experiment revealed that MoS2 were able to enhance the oil recovery by approximately 11%, which were better that of the others. From the above, it can be inferred that spherical materials have a "point-to-surface" contact at multiphase interfaces, while sheet materials can achieve a "surface-to-surface" contact with a higher interfacial activity. In addition, the film-climbing characteristics of amphiphilic nanomaterials were found in the experiment, which may be one of the potential reasons for enhanced oil recovery. 1. INTRODUCTION Most of the world’s oil fields have experienced primary and secondary oil recovery, with severe declines in well production and increases in water content. Combined with unfavourable conditions such as low reservoir permeability, about 50% or more of the crude oil cannot be successfully recovered (Alija et al, 2018). Chemical drive is a commonly used method to enhance recovery and is widely used in China, but with the gradual expansion of unconventional reservoir development, the main application of chemical drive has shifted to low-permeability and ultra-low-porosity reservoirs. Due to the small pore size and large specific surface area of low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability reservoirs, they have unfavourable factors such as high start-up pressure gradients and insufficient formation energy, and the development of these reservoirs is mainly based on water injection, resulting in problems such as "no injection, no recovery" in low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability reservoirs (LI Weicai et al, 2011; DOU Hong en et al, 2014; LI Xiangfang en et al, 2020). This has become one of the current issues of concern in terms of EOR.

Full textAbstract:
The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program addressed four questions related to the lower Paleozoic succession of the Arctic Islands that were identified as key deficiencies in regional geological knowledge: 1) geochemical and geological data were not fully digital or available; 2) there were gaps in information on petroleum systems; 3) there was no geological map for the northwestern part of Victoria Island; and 4) the geological history of the Pearya composite terrane on northern Ellesmere Island was unclear. These gaps were addressed by 1) the publication of 17 open files that make geological and geochemical data sets publicly available; 2) studies on source rock, thermal maturity, and oil-source correlation; 3) the production of a geological map for northwestern Victoria Island; and 4) a series of geological, geochemical, and geochronological studies that support a geological model in which the southeastern structural slice of Pearya was a fragment of ancient North America that rifted and returned, rather than a far-travelled continental fragment.
