文摘Hard carbon(HC)remains a leading anode candidate for sodium-ion storage,yet its application is hindered by low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)and limited plateau capacity due to uncontrolled defect density and open porosity.Here,we propose a scalable dual-regulation strategy that simultaneously tunes pore mouth size and defect chemistry to enhance sodium storage performance.Using phenol-formaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor and phosphorus pentoxide(P2O5)as a bifunctional sacrificial template and dopant source,we synthesize phosphorus-functionalized hard carbon(PF-PHC)featuring a high density of closed pores with well-confined sub-nanometer pore entrances.The in-situ sublimation of P2O5 during pyrolysis promotes the formation of closed-pore architectures,while residual phosphorus atoms effectively passivate vacancy-type defects,thereby reducing irreversible Na+adsorption and mitigating excessive solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formation.As a result,PF-PHC achieves an ICE of 89.3%and a plateau capacity of 289 mAh g−1.In-situ characterizations reveal that regulating pore mouth dimensions decouples Na+and solvent access,enabling highly selective ion transport and stable interfacial chemistry.Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SIHCs)assembled based on PF-PHC deliver exceptional rate performance and outstanding long-term cycling stability,retaining 98.2%after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g−1.This study establishes pore mouth engineering as a robust and scalable design principle for advancing next-generation HC-based sodium storage materials.
文摘Carbon-based materials have gained significant attention in anticancer treatment because of their exceptional biocompatibility,yet critical challenges persist in establishing definitive correlations between their porous structures and functional performance.We report the use of a silica template to guide pore formation in the design of mesoporous carbon spheres(mC)with tailored pore structures for improved combined photothermal-chemotherapy.The mesopore size of mC has been adjusted by kinetic control of the resin polymerization and silica hydrolysis.Structural characterization showed that 4.4 nm mesopores enabled an exceptional gemcitabine loading of 228 mg g^(−1) and a sustained pH/thermal dual-responsive release with>70%drug release under near-infrared(NIR)irradiation.Finite element analysis demonstrated pore size-dependent heat transfer dynamics,with the improved mC achieving a superior photothermal conversion efficiency of 62%by a combination of N-doping and defect engineering.In vitro evaluations confirmed outstanding biocompatibility with>95%cell viability at 200μg mL^(−1) and potent tumor suppression in pancreatic and biliary cancer models with an~5%cell viability at 25μg mL^(−1) where combined therapy showed a 3.7-fold increased cytotoxicity over monotherapy.The improved structure of mC facilitated cascade therapeutic effects with enhanced tumor permeability derived from NIR-triggered hyperthermia and prolonged therapeutic exposure due to pH-responsive drug release.This pore engineering strategy establishes a structure-function process for next-generation theranostic platforms,addressing the critical limitations of conventional pancreatic and biliary cancer therapies through spatiotemporal control of multimodal treatment.

文摘THE mechanical response and deformation mechanisms of pure nickel under nanoindentation were systematically investigated using molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,with a particular focus on the novel interplay between crystallographic orientation,grain boundary(GB)proximity,and pore characteristics(size/location).This study compares single-crystal nickel models along[100],[110],and[111]orientations with equiaxed polycrystalline models containing 0,1,and 2.5 nm pores in surface and subsurface configurations.Our results reveal that crystallographic anisotropy manifests as a 24.4%higher elastic modulus and 22.2%greater hardness in[111]-oriented single crystals compared to[100].Pore-GB synergistic effects are found to dominate the deformation behavior:2.5 nm subsurface pores reduce hardness by 25.2%through stress concentration and dislocation annihilation at GBs,whereas surface pores enable mechanical recovery via accelerated dislocation generation post-collapse.Additionally,size-dependent deformation regimes were identified,with 1 nm pores inducing negligible perturbation due to rapid atomic rearrangement,in contrast with persistent softening in 2.5 nm pores.These findings establish atomic-scale design principles for defect engineering in nickel-based aerospace components,demonstrating how crystallographic orientation,pore configuration,and GB interactions collectively govern nanoindentation behavior.

文摘A debris flow descending through an erodible convex colluvial bed,originating from a landslide dam and its upstream deposits,can entrain massive amounts of sediment,dramatically increasing the debris flow volume.Most existing erosion models assume that bed sediments are fully saturated,although this condition is rarely observed in nature.Therefore,a thorough understanding of debris flow overtopping erosion on a convex unsaturated bed is crucial for quantifying disaster risk.In this study,we experimentally investigated the effects of sediment composition,specifically coarse-grain size distribution and fine particle content,on the pore pressure evolution and entrainment of debris flows overriding a convex unsaturated colluvial bed.The average entrainment rate at convex sites for continuously graded bed sediment was higher than its discontinuous counterpart.The measured pore pressures within the unsaturated bed sediments were primarily generated by the passing debris flows.Furthermore,it was found that these pressures decreased as the fine particle content increased and the coarse-grain size of the erodible substrates decreased.When the coarse-grain size of the debris flow was smaller than that of the bed sediment,only a portion of the eroded material was entrained by the moving debris flow.In contrast,when the coarse-grain size of the debris flow was equal to or greater than that of the bed sediment,nearly all of the eroded material was entrained.The findings of this study could contribute to the assessment of hazard amplification and inform the design of mitigation and prevention strategies.

文摘The specific surface area(S S)and pore size(D)exhibit an inherent trade-off in the microscale design of bone implants:larger pores typically correlate with reduced surface area and vice versa.This relationship has attracted notable attention because of its critical role in the regulation of cell adhesion and osteogenesis.However,it remains largely unclear how S S and D affect the generated bone tissue and dynamically change during long-term osteogenesis.Herein,by applying rigorous geometric mapping to minimal surfaces,we constructed precisely partitioned and layer-by-layer thickened tissue models to simulate osteogenesis across different temporal scales and thereby track the dynamic evolution of geometric characteristics,permeability,and mechanobiological tissue differentiation.The high-S S samples were found to facilitate the rapid formation of new bone tissue in the early stages.However,their smaller pores tended to cause occlusions,hindering further tissue development.In contrast,low-S S samples showed slower bone regeneration,but their larger pores provided adequate physical space for tissue regeneration and mass transport,ultimately promoting bone formation in the long term.Mechanobiological regulation suggests that fibrous tissue formation inhibits additional bone formation,establishing a dynamic equilibrium between osteogenesis and pore space to sustain nutrient/waste exchange throughout the regenerative process.Overall,smaller pores are preferable in implants for minimally loaded osteoplasty procedures focused on early-stage bone consolidation,whereas larger pores are preferable in dynamically loaded implants requiring prolonged mechanical stability.

文摘The vertical heterogeneity of the pore structure in deep coal seams with varying ash yields is a key control for coalbed methane storage and producibility;however,its specific impact on gas adsorption is not clearly defined.The focus of this study is the No.8 coal seam of the Carboniferous Benxi Formation in the Central-Eastern Ordos Basin.By integrating microscopic identification,proximate analysis,gas adsorption(CO_(2),N_(2),and CH_(4)),and the multifractal theory,we quantitatively characterized the nanopore structure(micropores<2 nm and mesopores 2 nm-100 nm)of coal reservoirs with varying ash yields.The results indicate that(1)ash yield is the primary factor that controls the vertical evolution of pore structures in coal seams.In low-ash yield coal seams,the extent of thermal evolution and ash yield jointly constrain the heterogeneity of pore size distribution.In mediumto high-ash yield coal seams,the heterogeneity of pore structure and pore size distribution are predominantly constrained by ash yield.(2)As the ash yield vertically increases,the mesoporous pore volume and specific surface area initially decrease and subsequently increase,while the contribution of micropores to both pore volume and specific surface area continuously diminishes.Consequently,the total pore volume and specific surface area of the coal samples exhibit a two-stage reduction close to an ash yield threshold of approximately 20%.(3)Further,the Langmuir volume for CH_(4)adsorption sharply declines below the 20%threshold,followed by a gradual decrease;in contrast,the Langmuir pressure initially decreases and subsequently increases.Hence,the vertical increase in ash yield constrains the development of pore systems and diminishes pore connectivity,thereby reducing methane adsorption capacity and adversely affecting coalbed methane productivity.(4)Low-ash yield coal reservoirs are characterized by a rapid gas breakthrough and high productivity,whereas medium-ash yield coal reservoirs generally require prolonged depressurization to achieve peak gas production.These findings reveal that in medium-high rank coal,ash yield―and not thermal evolution―is the main factor that controls vertical pore evolution and methane adsorption efficiency.The quantitative ash yield threshold(20%)established in this study provides a practical criterion for evaluating reservoir quality and predicting vertical variations in gas storage potential in the Ordos Basin.

文摘This study investigated the effects of periodic high-frequency stress disturbances on the creep behavior of sandstone and analyzed the microstructural changes using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)technology.High-frequency disturbance creep experiments were conducted on sandstone under different disturbance frequencies,disturbance cycles and loading stresses,and the following findings were obtained.Firstly,with the increase of loading stress and disturbance cycles,the total porosity increments,and damage value of sandstone increase,while the fractal dimension of sandstone pore structure presents the opposite trend.Secondly,during the disturbance creep process,the volumes of all three types of pores increase,but the proportion of micropores(T_(2)<10 ms)decreases,while the proportion of mesopores(10 ms<T_(2)<100 ms)and macropores(T_(2)>100 ms)increases.Thirdly,the fractal dimension difference has a good linear relationship with the damage,strain and porosity increment of sandstone during the disturbance creep process.Finally,the higher the disturbance frequency,the smaller the creep strain and creep strain rate during the steady-state creep stage.The study offers valuable theoretical insights for understanding rock creep behavior in complex stress environments.

文摘To investigate the pore structure of graphene oxide modified polymer cement mortar(GOPM)under salt-freeze-thaw(SFT)coupling effects and its impact on deterioration,this study modifies polymer cement mortar(EMCM)with graphene oxide(GO).The micro-pore structure of GOPM is characterized using LF-NMR and SEM.Fractal theory is applied to calculate the fractal dimension of pore volume,and the deterioration patterns are analyzed based on the evolution characteristics of capillary pores.The experimental results indicate that,after 25 salt-freeze-thaw cycles(SFTc),SO2-4 ions penetrate the matrix,generating corrosion products that fill existing pores and enhance the compactness of the specimen.As the number of cycles increases,the ongoing formation and expansion of corrosion products within the matrix,combined with persistent freezing forces,and result in the degradation of the pore structure.Therefore,the mass loss rate(MLR)of the specimens shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing,while the relative dynamic elastic modulus(RDEM)initially increases and then decreases.Compared to the PC group specimens,the G3PM group specimens show a 28.71% reduction in MLR and a 31.42% increase in RDEM after 150 SFTc.The fractal dimensions of the transition pores,capillary pores,and macropores in the G3PM specimens first increase and then decrease as the number of SFTc increases.Among them,the capillary pores show the highest correlation with MLR and RDEM,with correlation coefficients of 0.97438 and 0.98555,respectively.

文摘To enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion battery anodes with higher silicon content,it is essential to engineer their microstructure for better lithium-ion transport and mitigated volume change as well.Herein,we suggest an effective approach to control the micropore structure of silicon oxide(SiO_(x))/artificial graphite(AG)composite electrodes using a perforated current collector.The electrode features a unique pore structure,where alternating high-porosity domains and low-porosity domains markedly reduce overall electrode resistance,leading to a 20%improvement in rate capability at a 5C-rate discharge condition.Using microstructure-resolved modeling and simulations,we demonstrate that the patterned micropore structure enhances lithium-ion transport,mitigating the electrolyte concentration gradient of lithium-ion.Additionally,perforating current collector with a chemical etching process increases the number of hydrogen bonding sites and enlarges the interface with the SiO_(x)/AG composite electrode,significantly improving adhesion strength.This,in turn,suppresses mechanical degradation and leads to a 50%higher capacity retention.Thus,regularly arranged micropore structure enabled by the perforated current collector successfully improves both rate capability and cycle life in SiO_(x)/AG composite electrodes,providing valuable insights into electrode engineering.

文摘Subsurface rocks,as complex porous media,exhibit multiscale pore structures and intricate physical properties.Digital rock physics technology has become increasingly influential in the study of subsurface rock properties.Given the multiscale characteristics of rock pore structures,direct three-dimensional imaging at sub-micrometer and nanometer scales is typically infeasible.This study introduces a method for reconstructing porous media using multidimensional data,which combines one-dimensional pore structure parameters with two-dimensional images to reconstruct three-dimensional models.The pore network model(PNM)is stochastically reconstructed using one-dimensional parameters,and a generative adversarial network(GAN)is utilized to equip the PNM with pore morphologies derived from two-dimensional images.The digital rocks generated by this method possess excellent controllability.Using Berea sandstone and Grosmont carbonate samples,we performed digital rock reconstructions based on PNM extracted by the maximum ball algorithm and compared them with stochastically reconstructed PNM.Pore structure parameters,permeability,and formation factors were calculated.The results show that the generated samples exhibit good consistency with real samples in terms of pore morphology,pore structure,and physical properties.Furthermore,our method effectively supplements the micropores not captured in CT images,demonstrating its potential in multiscale carbonate samples.Thus,the proposed reconstruction method is promising for advancing porous media property research.
文摘Biomass-derived hard carbons,usually prepared by pyrolysis,are widely considered the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion bat-teries(SIBs)due to their high capacity,low poten-tial,sustainability,cost-effectiveness,and environ-mental friendliness.The pyrolysis method affects the microstructure of the material,and ultimately its so-dium storage performance.Our previous work has shown that pyrolysis in a sealed graphite vessel im-proved the sodium storage performance of the car-bon,however the changes in its microstructure and the way this influences the sodium storage are still unclear.A series of hard carbon materials derived from corncobs(CCG-T,where T is the pyrolysis temperature)were pyrolyzed in a sealed graphite vessel at different temperatures.As the pyrolysis temperature increased from 1000 to 1400℃ small carbon domains gradually transformed into long and curved domains.At the same time,a greater number of large open pores with uniform apertures,as well as more closed pores,were formed.With the further increase of pyrolysis temperature to 1600℃,the long and curved domains became longer and straighter,and some closed pores gradually became open.CCG-1400,with abundant closed pores,had a superior SIB performance,with an initial reversible ca-pacity of 320.73 mAh g^(-1) at a current density of 30 mA g^(-1),an initial Coulomb efficiency(ICE)of 84.34%,and a capacity re-tention of 96.70%after 100 cycles.This study provides a method for the precise regulation of the microcrystalline and pore structures of hard carbon materials.
文摘To obtain materials capable of efficiently separating acetylene(C_(2)H_(2))from carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and eth-ylene(C_(2)H_(4)),In this work,based on the pore space partition strategy,a pacs-metal-organic framework(MOF):(NH_(2)Me_(2))_(2)[Fe_(3)(μ_(3)-O)(bdc)_(3)][In(FA)_(3)Cl_(3)](Fe‑FAIn‑bdc)was synthesized successfully by using the metal-formate com-plex[In(FA)_(3)Cl_(3)]^(3-)as the pore partition units,where bdc^(2-)=terephthalate,FA-=formate.Owing to the pore partition effect of this metal-organic building block,fruitful confined spaces are formed in the network of Fe‑FAIn‑bdc,endowing this MOF with superior separation performance of acetylene and carbon dioxide.According to the adsorp-tion test,this MOF exhibited a high adsorption capacity for C_(2)H_(2)(50.79 cm^(3)·g^(-1))at 298 K and 100 kPa,which was much higher than that for CO_(2)(29.99 cm^(3)·g^(-1))and C_(2)H_(4)(30.94 cm^(3)·g^(-1))under the same conditions.Ideal adsorbed solution theory(IAST)calculations demonstrate that the adsorption selectivity of Fe‑FAIn‑bdc for the mixture of C_(2)H_(2)/CO_(2)and C_(2)H_(2)/C_(2)H_(4)in a volume ratio of 50∶50 was 3.08 and 3.65,respectively,which was higher than some reported MOFs such as NUM-11 and SNNU-18.CCDC:_(2)453954.

文摘As a typical sedimentary soft rock,mudstone has the characteristics of being easily softened and disintegrated under the effect of wetting and drying(WD).The first cycle of WD plays an important role in the entire WD cycles.X-ray micro-computed tomography(micro-CT)was used as a non-destructive tool to quantitatively analyze microstructural changes of the mudstone due to the first cycle of WD.The test results show that WD leads to an increase of pore volume and pore connectivity in the mudstone.The porosity and fractal dimension of each slice of mudstone not only increase in value,but also in fluctuation amplitude.The pattern of variation in the frequency distribution of the equivalent radii of connected,isolated pores and pore throats in mudstone under WD effect satisfies the Gaussian distribution.Under the effect of WD,pores and pore throats with relatively small sizes increase the most.The sphericity of the pores in mudstones is positively correlated with the pore radius.The WD effect transforms the originally angular and flat pores into round and regular pores.This paper can provide a reference for the study of the deterioration and catastrophic mechanisms of mudstone under wetting and drying cycles.

文摘Marine organic-rich marl is not only a high-quality hydrocarbon source of conventional oil and gas,but also a new type and field of unconventional oil and gas exploration.An understanding of its pore structure evolution characteristics during a hydrocarbon generation process is theoretically significant and has application prospects for the exploration and development of this special type of natural gas reservoirs.This study conducted thermal simulation of hydrocarbon generation under near-geological conditions during a whole process for cylinder samples of low mature marine organic-rich marl in the Middle Devonian of Luquan,Yunnan Province,China.During this process,hydrocarbon products at different evolution stages were quantified and corresponding geochemical properties were analyzed.Simultaneously,field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)and low-pressure gas adsorption(CO_(2),N_(2))tests were applied to the corresponding cylinder residue samples to reveal the mechanisms of different types of pore formation and evolution,and clarify the dynamic evolution processes of their pore systems.The results show that with an increase in temperature and pressure,the total oil yield peaks at an equivalent vitrinite reflectance(VR_(o))of 1.03%and is at the maximum retention stage of liquid hydrocarbons,which are 367.51 mg/g TOC and 211.67 mg/g TOC,respectively.The hydrocarbon gas yield increases continuously with an increase in maturity.The high retained oil rate at the peak of oil generation provides an abundant material basis for gas formation at high maturity and over-maturity stage.The lower limit of VR_(o)for organic matter(OM)pore mass development is about 1.6%,and bitumen pores,organic-clay complex pores together with intergranular pores,grain edge seams and dissolution pores constitute a complicated pore-seam-network system,which is the main reservoir space for unconventional carbonate gas.Pore formation and evolution are controlled synergistically by hydrocarbon generation,diagenesis and organic-inorganic interactions,and the pattern of pore structure evolution can be divided into four stages.A pore volume(PV)and a specific surface area(SSA)are at their highest values within the maturity range of 1.9%to 2.5%,which is conducive to exploring unconventional natural gas.

文摘The water adsorption performance of shale gas reservoirs is a very important factor affecting their gas in place(GIP)contents,but the water-holding capacity and mechanism of over-mature shale,especially organic pores,are still not fully understood.In this study,systematic water vapor adsorption(WVA)experiments were carried out on the Lower Cambrian over-mature shale and its kerogen from the Sichuan Basin,China to characterize their WVA behaviors,and combined with the low-pressure gas(N_(2) and CO_(2))adsorption experiments,the main influencing factors of WVA capacity of the shale and the absorbed-water distribution in its organic and inorganic nanopores were investigated.The results show that the WVA isotherms of shale and kerogen are all typeⅡ,with an obvious hysteresis loop in the multilayer adsorption range,and that the positive relationship of the shale TOC content with the WVA capacity(including total adsorption capacity,primary adsorption capacity and secondary adsorption capacity)and WVA hysteresis index(AHIW),and the greater adsorption capacity and AHIW of kerogen than the shale,all indicate that the hydrophilicity of organic matter(OM)in the over-mature shale was underestimated in previous research.Although both the shale OM and clay minerals have a significant positive effect on the WVA,the former has a stronger adsorption ability than the latter.The WVA capacity of the studied Lower Cambrian shale is significantly greater than that of the Longmaxi shale reported in literatures,which was believed to be mainly attributed to its higher maturity,with a significant graphitization of OM.The shale micropores and non-micropores play an important role in WVA,especially OM pores.There are primary and secondary adsorption for water vapor in both the micropores and non-micropores of OM,while these adsorptions of minerals mainly occur in their non-micropores.These results have important guides for understanding the gas storage mechanism and exploration and development potential of marine over-mature shale in southern China,especially the Lower Cambrian shale.

文摘Deep coal reservoirs(buried depth>2000 m)represent a significant yet underexploited resource for coalbed methane(CBM)production.In these reservoirs,CBM primarily exists in adsorbed and free phase,with the pore structure playing a critical role in gas storage and migration.The Jiaxian block in the northeastern Ordos Basin,has emerged as a key area for deep CBM exploration due to its promising resource potential.However,the pore structure characteristics of the No.8 coal seam in Jiaxian block and their implications for gas storage and production remain poorly understood.A comprehensive characterization of the No.8 coal seam's pore structure is conducted in the study using multiple methods including high-pressure mercury injection,N2/CO_(2)adsorption experiments,and integration of measured core gas content data and production history.The study results reveal that the pores can be mainly classified as vesicles and cellular pores,and the fractures are mainly static pressure fractures.Micropores(pore diameter<10 nm)dominate the pore system(accounting for more than 99%of the total specific surface area),providing important adsorption sites for gas storage.Although mesopores(pore diameter of 100-1000 nm)and macropores(pore diameter>1000 nm)account for a small proportion,they feature effective storage spaces and interconnectivity,resulting in a high proportion of free gas.Therefore,the reservoirs shows great development potential after stimulation(such as hydraulic fracturing).These findings emphasize the feasibility of large-scale and long-term development of CBM in the Jiaxian block in terms of reservoir space,gas content and production characteristics.This study serves to lay a scientific basis for its efficient exploitation.

文摘Carbonate,tight sandstone,and shale reservoirs have many pore types,and the relationship between the porosity and elastic parameters is extremely discrete due to the complex pore shape.This paper presents a method for predicting reservoir pore types based on pore shape substitution.The pore shape substitution allows for accurately characterizing the changes in the elastic properties of the rock with the changes in pore shape,assuming there are no changes in terms of minerals,porosity,or fl uids.By employing a multiple-porosity variable critical porosity model,the eff ective pore aspect ratio could be inverted from the velocities of the rock.To perform pore shape substitution,we could replace the eff ective pore aspect ratio with another pore aspect ratio or increase/decrease the volume content of diff erent pore shapes.The reservoir pore types could be evaluated by comparing the differences in the reservoir velocities before and after the substitution of the pore shape.The test results pertaining to the theoretical model and the well logging data indicated that the pore shape substitution method could be applied to characterize pore types in terms of separating the eff ects of the pore shapes from the eff ects of the minerals,porosity,or fl uids on the velocities.

文摘A comprehensive analysis of the microstructure and defects of a thixomolded AZ91D alloy was conducted to elucidate their influences on mechanical properties.Samples were made at injection temperatures ranging from 580 to 640℃.X-ray computed tomography was used to visualize pores,and crystal plasticity finite element simulation was adopted for deformation analysis.The microstructure characterizations reveal a hierarchical cell feature composed of α-Mg and eutectic phases.With the increase of injection temperature,large cell content in the material decreases,while the strength of the alloy increases.The underlying mechanism about strength change is that coarse-grained solids experience smaller stress even in hard orientations.The sample fabricated at a moderate temperature of 620℃ exhibits the highest elongation,least quantity and lower local concentration of pores.The detachment and tearing cracks formed at lower injection temperature and defect bands formed at higher injection temperature add additional crack sources and deteriorate the ductility of the materials.

文摘Based on the experimental results of casting thin section,low temperature nitrogen adsorption,high pressure mercury injection,nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum,contact angle and oil-water interfacial tension,the relationship between pore throat structure and crude oil mobility characteristics of full particle sequence reservoirs in the Lower Permian Fengcheng Formation of Mahu Sag,Junggar Basin,are revealed.(1)With the decrease of reservoir particle size,the volume of pores connected by large throats and the volume of large pores show a decreasing trend,and the distribution and peak ranges of throat and pore radius shift to smaller size in an orderly manner.The upper limits of throat radius,porosity and permeability of unconventional reservoirs in Fengcheng Formation are approximately 0.7μm,8%and 0.1×10^(−3)μm^(2),respectively.(2)As the reservoir particle size decreases,the distribution and peak ranges of pores hosting retained oil and movable oil are shifted to a smaller size in an orderly manner.With the increase of driving pressure,the amount of retained and movable oil of the larger particle reservoir samples shows a more obvious trend of decreasing and increasing,respectively.(3)With the increase of throat radius,the driving pressure of reservoir with different particle levels presents three stages,namely rapid decrease,slow decrease and stabilization.The oil driving pressures of various reservoirs and the differences of them decrease with the increase of temperature and obviously decrease with the increase of throat radius.According to the above experimental analysis,it is concluded that the deep shale oil of Fengcheng Formation in Mahu Sag has great potential for production under geological conditions.
