Based on gas trapping theory and the mass conservation equation, mathematical models were developed for foam-diverted acidizing, which can be achieved by a foam slug followed by acid injection or by continuous injection of foamed acid. The design method for foam-diverted acidizing was also given. The mathematical models were solved by a computer program. Computed results show that the total formation skin factor, wellhead pressure and bottomhole pressure increase with foam injection, but decrease with acid injection. Volume flow rate in a highpermeability layer decreases, while that in a low-permeability layer increases, thus diverting acid to the low-permeability layer from the high-permeability layer. Under the same formation conditions, for foamed acid treatment the operation was longer, and wellhead and bottomhole pressures are higher. Field application shows that foam slug can effectively block high permeability layers, and improve intake profile noticeably.展开更多

The acid dissolves the carbonates (limestones/dolomites), enlarging the pores and increasing the width of pre-existing fractures. This gives rise to an increase in permeability. The principal acid commonly used is hydrochloric (HCl), which is pumped through tubing. Aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid (usually 15%) are pumped into the carbonate formations to enlarge the pores and pre-existing fractures. Without application of D.C. current, the penetration distance is usually very short, especially in tight rocks. However, the penetration distance of acid is very short. By applying D.C. current, one can drive the acid for long distances into the formation being acidized.展开更多

文摘The development of shale gas is faced with low reservoir porosity,low reservoir permeability and high formation fracture pressure.In order to deal with these problems,this paper selected shale samples from the bottom of the Lower Silurian LongmaxieWufeng Formation of Upper Ordovician in the Weiyuan Block of the southern Sichuan Basin as the research objects.After acid dissolution experiments were carried out,the microstructures and the mechanical parameters of shale after acidizing treatment were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and triaxial mechanical test.Then,the effect of acidizing treatment on the microstructures and the mechanical properties of shale were analyzed.And the following research results were obtained.First,after acidizing treatment,the carbonate mineral content of shale decreases and the number and size of pores increase.In the process of dissolution,micro-fractures occur,leading to the increase of shale porosity and permeability.Second,after acidizing treatment,the mechanical properties of shale change.Its deformation mode transforms gradually from elasticebrittle deformation to elasticeplastic deformation,and its fracture mode transits from brittle to semi-brittle and semi-ductile.Third,after shale is treated with the acid with the concentration of 15%for 240 min,its permeability is increased by 3.09 times.After 3 days,its porosity is increased by 1.65 times.And after 7 days,its compressive strength,Young's modulus and brittleness index are decreased by 50.1%,58.1%and 32.8%,respectively.Fourth,the mechanical parameters of shale of the LongmaxieWufeng Formation in the Weiyuan Block is in a quadratic relationship with an average pore size and permeability and in a quadratic or linear relationship with porosity,and their correlation is strong.In conclusion,the research results provide technical support for the prediction of the mechanical parameters of shale in this block after acidizing treatment and for the design of acid fracturing scheme.
文摘A novel technology (electrokinetics) is proposed to improve acidizing operations, i.e., increase the penetration distance. The acid dissolves the carbonates (limestones/dolomites), enlarging the pores and increasing the width of pre-existing fractures. This gives rise to an increase in permeability. The principal acid commonly used is hydrochloric (HCl), which is pumped through tubing. Aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid (usually 15%) are pumped into the carbonate formations to enlarge the pores and pre-existing fractures. Without application of D.C. current, the penetration distance is usually very short, especially in tight rocks. However, the penetration distance of acid is very short. By applying D.C. current, one can drive the acid for long distances into the formation being acidized.

文摘When the conventional sandstone acidizing technologies are adopted,many slugs are needed in the injection of prepad fluid,treatment fluid and postpad fluid,and consequently the production and operation suffers inconveniences and difficulties.In view of this,a kind of HA integrated acid system which is mainly composed of organic polybasic acids(HA)+HCl+HF and an efficient organic solvent was developed in this paper based on the idea of integrated acid replacing"multiple steps"and high efficiency and intensification.Via this HA integrated acid system,the complicated blockage in sandstone reservoirs can be removed effectively.Then,experiments were carried out on this system to evaluate its performance in terms of its retardance,organic blockage dissolution,chelating and precipitation inhibition.It is indicated that this new system can not only realize the acidizing of conventional integrated acid,but also present a good retarding performance by controlling Ht multi-stage ionization step by step and by forming silica acid-aluminum phosphonate film on the surface of clay minerals;that via this new HA integrated acid system,the organic blockage can be removed efficiently;and that it is wider in pH solution range than conventional APCs(aminopolycarboxyliates)chelants,stronger in chelating capacity of Ca^(2+),Mg^(2+)and Fe^(3+)than conventional chelants(e.g.EDTA,NTA and DTPA),and better in precipitation inhibition on metal fluoride,fluosilicic acid alkali metal,fluoaluminic acid alkali metal and hydroxide than multihydrogen acid,fluoboric acid and mud acid systems.These research results provide a technical support for the plugging removal in hightemperature deep oil and gas reservoirs.

文摘This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chemical dissolution on the properties of reservoirs by matrix acidizing,using synthetic carbonate rocks with and without fractures,prepared with limestone powder,epoxy resin(chemically inert)and fractures represented by non-woven geotextile strips positioned perpendicular to the fluid flow direction,to check their influence on the dissolution process.A system was developed using an acid injection cell to carry out acidizing tests,applying a solution of acetic acid and distilled water at constant pressure,to observe the organic acid-rock interaction for contact times of 36,72 and 108 h.Chemical and petrophysical tests,as well as image analyses using X-ray micro-computed tomography were conducted to characterize the acidizing effects.Changes in rock properties were observed as the contact time increased,particularly the increase in porosity and permeability.Was observed the formation of CO_(2) and calcium acetate as reaction products between calcite and acid solution.Ramified wormhole and uniform dissolution patterns were noted;moreover,fractures influenced the dissolution in regions where they were inserted,increasing the branches present along their structure and deviating the fluid flow to a perpendicular direction to the injection direction,especially observed at 72 h,highlighting the use of geotextile as a material that reproduces the fractures'transmissivity in synthetic samples.The methodologies used contributed to presenting the effects of mineral dissolution on the properties of reservoir rocks post-stimulation,emphasizing the importance of chemical/petrophysical aspects and the contribution of fractures to better understand the matrix acidizing efficiency in field.
文摘Conventional diverting techniques may not be useful,and the use of the advanced and well-documented diverting technique is needed to overcome the complexity and heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs.Nowadays,there have been a lot of materials and techniques utilized for acid diversion.This paper aimed to consider various utilization of fiber-assisted self as the diverting system in acidifying carbonate reservoirs.One of the main reasons for its ability to overcome uncertainty is that the fiber itself is an inherent property,allowing for an automatic diversion adjustment downhole.When a media with infinite permeability,such as a perforation tunnel or natural fracture,is filled and bridged with a material of finite permeability such as degradable fiber,this creates a temporary skin to injectivity in that zone.This is a powerful concept,as it is a way,despite uncertainty from a lack of logging data or uncertainty in the data itself,of dampening the reservoir’s natural permeability contrast.It does not rely on petrophysical certainty to design a successful treatment.
文摘Activation of neutrophil membrane receptors initiates intracellular signal transduction cascades that orchestrate the cell's effector functions,including phagocytosis,production of reactive oxygen and halogen species,degranulation,and NETosis(formation of neutrophil extracellular traps[NETs]).NETs,which contain antimicrobial compounds such as myeloperoxidase(MPO),represent a strategy to combat infection.However,excessive production of NETs promotes thrombosis,diabetes mellitus,and other diseases.Therefore,investigations into the mechanisms of NETosis and the identification of modulators of this process are critical for developing strategies to address NETosis-related disorders.Here,we identified a novel NETosis inducer,human serum albumin(HSA)modified by the MPO product hypochlorous acid(HSAHOCl),whose accumulation in vivo was correlated with inflammatory processes.Using human blood neutrophils,we investigated HSAHOCl-induced NETosis and detected NET formation by flow cytometry.The results showed that the mechanism of HSAHOClinduced NETosis involved MPO,NADPH oxidase,and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases(PI3Ks),and that HSAHOCl activated a reactive oxygen species-dependent suicidal type of NETosis.Moreover,HSAHOCl-induced NETosis was inhibited by an anti-HSAHOCl monoclonal antibody.Thus,our findings may facilitate the development of strategies to modulate NETosis in inflammation associated with elevated MPO activity.

文摘We present a comprehensive description and benchmark evaluation of the global–regional chemical transport model called the Emission and Atmospheric Processes Integrated and Coupled Community(EPICC)model.The framework incorporates(1)grid configuration,(2)transport dynamics,(3)chemical mechanisms,(4)aerosol processes,(5)wet/dry deposition parameterizations,and(6)heterogeneous chemistry treatments associated with sulfate,nitrous acid(HONO)chemistry,and aerosol/cloud–photolysis interactions(APIs/CPIs).Openly shared with the atmospheric research community,the model facilitates integration of advanced physicochemical schemes to enhance simulation accuracy.Globally,the model demonstrates realistic representations of ozone(O_(3))and aerosol optical depth.The EPICC model generally demonstrates robust performance in simulating regional concentrations of O_(3) and PM_(2.5)(and its components)in China.It successfully captures vertical profiles of both global and regional O_(3).Notably,the model mitigates frequently reported sulfate underestimations in highly industrialized regions of China.The model accurately captures two regional severe pollution episodes observed in eastern China(January/June 2021).Sensitivity experiments highlight the critical roles of heterogeneous chemical mechanisms associated with sulfate,HONO chemistry,APIs,and CPIs in capturing PM_(2.5) and O_(3) concentrations in China.Improved sulfate mechanisms result in an increase of approximately 32.4%(2.8μg m^(−3))in simulated winter sulfate concentrations when observations exceed 10μg m^(−3).Enhanced HONO elevates winter O_(3) and PM_(2.5) by≤20 and≤10μg m^(−3),respectively.Overall,CPIs dominate over APIs in improving O_(3) and PM_(2.5) simulations across China.Locally,APIs mitigate PM_(2.5) and O_(3) discrepancies in the Sichuan Basin.Seasonal cloud–chemistry coupling explains the weaker impact of PM_(2.5) in summer.

文摘Penthorum chinense Pursh has been used for centuries as an herbal medicine and food in East Asia.The main active substances in P.chinense are galloylated macrocyclic polyphenolic compounds,which have excellent medicinal properties.Galloylation and glycosylation are key steps in the formation of polyphenolic compounds,as the glycosylation of flavonoids is required for the acylation of flavonoid glycosides,and the glycosylation of gallic acid is necessary for its role as an acyl donor.Therefore,glycosylation to generate the acyl donor or acceptor is a core step in the biosynthesis of polyphenolic compounds.However,how this glycosylation occurs in P.chinense is unknown.In this study,we determined that the UDP-glucose transferase PcUGT84A82 mediates the glycosylation of gallic acid and pinocembrin to produce 1-O-Galloyl-β-D-glucose and pinocembroside,respectively.Metabolic profiling of polyphenolic compounds using UHPLC-ESI–Q-TOF/MS revealed high levels of polyphenols in flowers,leaves,and roots,and low levels in stems of P.chinense.We performed isoform-sequencing(Iso-seq)to assemble a full-length transcriptome of P.chinense,from which we identified 58 UGT family members.PcUGT84A82 is highly similar to functional UGTs in other plant species,and PcUGT84A82 transcript levels were positively correlated with the levels of various polyphenolic compounds.We validated the function of PcUGT84A82 via in vitro enzyme assays and transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves.Subcellular localization tests showed that PcUGT84A82 localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm.In summary,PcUGT84A82 catalyzes the conversion of gallic acid to 1-O-Galloyl-β-D-glucose as the acyl donor and pinocembrin to pinocembroside as the acyl acceptor,mediating the biosynthesis of galloylated macrocyclic polyphenolic compounds in P.chinense.These findings lay the foundation for elucidating the entire biosynthetic pathway of active polyphenols in this important herbal plant species.

文摘Short-chain fatty acids,metabolites produced by the fermentation of dietary fiber by gut microbiota,have garnered significant attention due to their correlation with neurodegenerative diseases,particularly Parkinson’s disease.In this review,we summarize the changes in short-chain fatty acid levels and the abundance of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria in various samples from patients with Parkinson’s disease,highlighting the critical role of gut homeostasis imbalance in the pathogenesis and progression of the disease.Focusing on the nervous system,we discuss the molecular mechanisms by which short-chain fatty acids influence the homeostasis of both the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system.We identify key processes,including the activation of G protein-coupled receptors and the inhibition of histone deacetylases by short-chain fatty acids.Importantly,structural or functional disruptions in the enteric nervous system mediated by these fatty acids may lead to abnormalα-synuclein expression and gastrointestinal dysmotility,which could serve as an initiating event in Parkinson’s disease.Furthermore,we propose that short-chain fatty acids help establish communication between the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system via the vagal nerve,immune circulation,and endocrine signaling.This communication may shed light on their potential role in the transmission ofα-synuclein from the gut to the brain.Finally,we elucidate novel treatment strategies for Parkinson’s disease that target short-chain fatty acids and examine the challenges associated with translating short-chain fatty acid-based therapies into clinical practice.In conclusion,this review emphasizes the pivotal role of short-chain fatty acids in regulating gut-brain axis integrity and their significance in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease from the perspective of the nervous system.Moreover,it highlights the potential value of short-chain fatty acids in early intervention for Parkinson’s disease.Future research into the molecular mechanisms of short-chain fatty acids and their synergistic interactions with other gut metabolites is likely to advance the clinical translation of innovative short-chain fatty acid-based therapies for Parkinson’s disease.
文摘Three copper(Ⅱ),nickel and cadmium(Ⅱ)complexes,namely[Cu_(2)(μ-H2dbda)2(phen)2]·2H_(2)O(1),[Ni(μ-H2dbda)(μ-bpb)(H_(2)O)2]n(2),and[Cd(μ-H2dbda)(μ-bpa)]n(3),have been constructed hydrothermally using H4dbda(4,4'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid),phen(1,10-phenanthroline),bpb(1,4-bis(pyrid-4-yl)benzene),bpa(bis(4-pyridyl)amine),and copper,nickel and cadmium chlorides at 160℃.The products were isolated as stable crystalline solids and were characterized by IR spectra,elemental analyses,thermogravimetric analyses,and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction analyses.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that three complexes crystallize in the monoclinic P21/n,tetragonal I42d,and orthorhombic P21212 space groups.The complexes exhibit molecular dimers(1)or 2D metal-organic networks(2 and 3).The catalytic performances in the Knoevenagel reaction of these complexes were investigated.Complex 1 exhibits an effective catalytic activity and excellent reusability as a heterogeneous catalyst in the Knoevenagel reaction at room temperature.CCDC:2463800,1;2463801,2;2463802,3.

文摘Lignin-derived oxygenated aromatics,particularly phenols and aromatic ethers obtained through depolymerization,represent promising feedstocks for synthesizing high-density and high-heat-sink aviation fuels via alkylation-hydrogenation processes.This study systematically evaluates the catalytic performance of various zeolites(Hβ,HZSM-5,MCM-41 and HUSY)in the alkylation reaction of phenol with cyclohexanol.Characterization results demonstrate that HUSY zeolite showed superior catalytic activity compared to other zeolites,attributable to its favorable pore architecture and well-balanced acid site distribution that synergistically facilitate molecular diffusion and catalytic transformations.To further enhance the catalytic properties,HUSY zeolite was modified with citric acid at various concentrations and compared with those treated with NaOH and oxalic acid.The results revealed that citric acid treatment preserved the crystallinity of the zeolite while modulating its acid distribution and pore structure.All modified zeolites enhanced phenol alkylation activity.Notably,the HUSY-0.5M catalyst,which exhibited the highest medium-strong acid to total acid ratio,achieved superior catalytic performance,80.4%conversion of phenol and 99.6%selectivity for alkylation products.The catalyst also exhibited high activity in the alkylation of various lignin-derived compounds,demonstrating its broad applicability.This work provides a new strategy for the valorization of lignin-derived phenols into high-value fuel precursors through alkylation.
