    Formation damage has been recognizes as one of the key factors limiting the efficiency of exploration and development for natural gas in tight sandstones. A comprehensive research on the engineering geological conditions of tight gas sandstone reservoirs in western Sichuan Basin revealed the following characteristics:①existence of multiple pay zones differing markedly in thickness and areal extent;②abnormally high formation pressure and multi-pressure systems;③capillary pressure increasing sharply with increased burial and decreased permeability of the reservoirs;④fractures occurring heterogeneously,with microfractures being the major contributor of reservoir permeability;⑤strong water and alkaline sensitivity related to abundant clays, and⑥reservoir permeability being very sensitive to variations in stress conditions. Analyses indicate that horizontal wells, gas based working fluids, and temporary shielding techniques are suitable for the protection of such tight gas sandstone reservoirs.

    A comprehensive analysis of the underpressured fluid compartments in Hongnan-Hongxi area of the Turpan-Hami Basin indicated that, within this area which had not experienced prominent denudation, the genesis of underpressured compartments were mainly related to hydrocarbon diffusion. In addition, over-compaction and small-range tectonic uplifting had intensified the underpressure. It is shown by this work that petroleum migration and pool formation has a close relationship with these underpressured compartments.

    The existing theory of waterflooding is based on Darcy’slaw. However, studies and oilfield development practice have shown that in low permeability reservoirs the flow does not follow Darcy’s law, with a starting pressure gradient (SPG) occurring in the process. With SPG taken into account, this work formulates the method of calculating indices of waterflood devel-
    opment before and after water occurs in the well array, under the condition of constant injection rate. Application of the formulas is illustrated with an example. Influence of injection rate on waterflood recovery is discussed. The results show that SPG has marked influence on the indices; and that there is an optimum injection rate at which the indices are most effective.

    The Carboniferous petroleum system, with its formation and evolution largely controlled by the regional structural evolution, is one of the confirmed petroleum systems in eastern Sichuan Basin. The pool-forming history of this petroleum system can be divided into two stages. The first stage is from
    the Indosinian orogeny at the end of middle Triassic to pre-Himalayan movement, during which constant hydrocarbon accumulation towards the Kaijiang paleohigh occurred against a background of continuous growth of the paleohigh, resulting in the formation of areally extensive stratigraphic-structural combination pools within the Carboniferous strata. The second stage started in early Himalayan at the end of Oligocene, during which post-accumulation re-distribution of hydrocarbons took place to have formed the stratigraphic-structural combination pools and anticlinal pools on the Kaijiang paleohigh.

    A layer of so-called Mung Bean Rock was recently discovered at Hexidong in Daijiagou, Chongqing. The formation is about 1.5 m thick, in which many hard grains with diameter ranging from 2-5 mm can be easily seen. Compositional analyses show that the rock consists of illitic claystone, with an illite
    content of 95 -97%. X-ray refraction and SEM examination reveal that the main constituents of the grains are quartz (80%) and calcite (20%). This discovery provides not only a new site to investigate Mung Bean Rock, but also a potential industrial resource of illite.

    Drilling practice and study show that the surge and swab pressures (SSP) caused by running or pulling a pipe in the wellbore are one of the important causes leading to lost circulation,kicks and other wellbore accidents in the process of oil drilling.So the accurate determination of SSP is the key to controlling pressure balance, preventing possible accidents and thus suc-
    ceeding in balanced drilling. With the increasingly widespread use of slim and horizontal hole (SAHH) drilling technology,new methods of determining SSP are urgently needed. This paper presents a new calculation model, in which the rheology of drilling fluid is described by H-B model, to determine the SSP
    of SAHHs. A comparison between the test data and predicted results indicates that the model is reliable and has a high level of accuracy, and thus can be used in the design and operation of SAHH.

    Knowing the temperature distribution in gas well is of great importance to gas well design and dynamic analysis; accurate prediction of wellbore temperature distribution can improve the accuracy of wellbore pressure prediction. Based on energy conservation law, a mathematical model for calculating wellbore
    temperature distribution in a gas well has been developed. This model assumes steady-state heat transfer inside the wellbore and transient heat transfer in the adjacent formation. Data from the literature are used to testify the validity of the model. Results indicate that the temperature distribution predicted by the model agrees well with the measured data.

    Based on the theory of fluid hydraulic lubrication, the plunger-seal pair of fracturing pump in OPI-1800AWS is discussed in detail. The mechanism of film formation under forced lubrication conditions is studied, and the minimum film
    thickness between the plunger and the seal is decided. During the out-let and in-let stroke, the conditions of fluid hydraulic lubrication is met, i.e., there is a parallel film between the plunger and the seal, so the friction is decreased and the lifetime of the plunger-seal pair extended. This suggests that forced
    lubrication plays a key role in the operation of fracturing pumps.

    It is well known that fixed costs play an important role in determining the structure of industry. However, it is not as well known the relationship between organizational structure and organizational fixed costs. This paper focuses on such a relationship and presents correspondingly a mathematical model.With this model we are able to determine the size of firms, explain such phenomena as fluctuations in layoff and downsizing of the organization, and explain why the structure of hierarchies of firms is pyramid-shaped. Advantages of using fixed costs to explain the organizational structure are twofold: first, it provides a complementary perspective into organizational structure;second, it provides a link between many seemingly unrelated
    phenomena ( e. g., downsizing and pyramidal hierarchies ).

The ratio of the well -testing data is used and the reliability of the analysis results can be also increased. The well pressure of a swabbing producing well can be calculated with this new model as well.
