Mineral Filling Pattern in Complex Fracture System of Carbonate Reservoirs: Implications from Geochemical Modeling of Water-Rock Interaction by Jianwei Feng, Xu Zhang, Peng Luo, Xizhe Li, He Du

“…The major findings of this simulation study include: (1) Along with fluid injection, local dissolution occurred within the fractures and matrix, but with the gradual saturation of calcium ions and the increasing pH value, considerable calcite precipitation occurred. (2) The dissolution/precipitation in different fractures was mainly affected by their structure and physical properties, resulting in changes in fluid flow rate, temperature, pressure and ion concentration over time. (3) In the same group, the degree of mineral filling of small-aperture fractures, low-angle fractures and shallow fractures was significantly higher than other types of fractures. (4) The better the connectivity between reticular fractures and the higher the linear density of fractures, the lower the mineral filling degree. (5) Dissolution phenomenon strengthened within large-aperture conjugated fractures gradually along the flow direction. …”

On new rational non-dynamical ABCD matrices for quadratic classical and quantum algebras by T. Skrypnyk

“…We consider classical and quantum non-dynamical quadratic abcd Lax algebras with rational classical and quantum gl(n)⊗gl(n)-valued abcd-tensors satisfying a set of quadratic “differential” or “semi-dynamical” [3] Yang-Baxter-type equations generalizing those of Fredel and Maillet [2]. The linearization of the corresponding quadratic structure lead to linear tensor structure with the classical gl(n)⊗gl(n)-valued non-dynamical, non-skew-symmetric rational r-matrix coinciding with a quasi-graded deformation of the standard skew-symmetric rational r-matrix [7]. …”
