Possible glendonite mineral pseudomorphs in the aftermath of the end-Permian extinction by Musaab Al-Sarmi, Rachel Wood

“…Here, we report the first occurrence of possible glendonites associated with the end Permian mass extinction in the earliest Triassic (ca. 252 Million years ago, Ma) subtropical marine carbonates on the Arabian Plateau, Oman. The authigenic carbonate crystals are small (< 2 mm) and precipitated either on bedding planes or reworked within micro cross-laminations, erosional scours, or lags at the base of calcisiltite turbidites, supporting a syn-depositional origin. …”

Pore-Scale Investigation on the Plugging Behavior of Submicron-Sized Microspheres for Heterogeneous Porous Media with Higher Permeability by Yafei Liu, Jingwen Yang, Tianjiang Wu, Yanhong Zhao, Desheng Zhou, Shun Liu

“…For cores with lower permeability, oil recovery increased stepwise with microsphere injection whereas for higher permeability cores oil recovery rapidly increased and reached a plateau. This experimental work provides a better understanding on the plugging behavior of microspheres and could be employed as a reference for screening and optimizing the microsphere flooding process for profile control in heterogeneous reservoirs.…”

Characterization of Acoustic Emission Parameters during Fracture Process of Siltstone with Prefabricated Void by Xiaorong Liu, Lulin Zheng, Hengyi He, Qing Qiu, Ziqi Liu, Xuefeng Li, Lin Yan, Gang Huang

“…The research results show that there are multiple stress drops before the deformation and failure of the rock sample with prefabricated drill holes; there is a positive correlation between the diameter of the drill hole and the power law index of the stress drop distribution; the acoustic emission activity of the rock during the deformation and failure process can be indirectly reflected the evolution of microfractures; the energy probability density function under different borehole diameters conforms to the power law distribution; the critical exponent obtained by the maximum likelihood estimation has an optimal plateau value, which can accurately characterize the power exponent of the energy distribution; the launch waiting time and aftershock sequence have a good power-law distribution in logarithmic coordinates. …”
