Fracturing practice shows that hydraulic fractures in shale reservoir present complex extending models of non-planar and multiple branches，which is essentially different from traditional symmetry plane bi-wing fractures in forming mechanism. Based on the research results of indoor experiments，field fracturing practice，theory analysis and numerical simulation etc，this paper has systematically analyzed the controlling factors of hydraulic fractures extending into network in shale formations. Research shows the extending shape of fractures in shale reservoir is influenced by both geological factors and engineering factors：according to reservoir geological attributes，higher brittle mineral contents of rock，stronger elastic characteristic of rock mechanical properties，smaller horizontal differential stress and better developed natural fractures will be constructive to better extension and propagation for hydraulic fractures extending into network；according to engineering conditions of
fracturing operations，higher operation net pressure，lower fluid viscosity and larger fracturing scale will be more helpful to the formation of fully propagated fracture-network. This study has important theoretical value and practical significance to the understanding of shale reservoir fracture-network propagation mechanism and can improve the science of shale reservoir fracturing design.

Based on the analysis of tectonic evolution and petroleum geology，the author summarized the oil and gas distribution
features of northwest shelf of Australia，and discuss the main controlling factors of hydrocarbon accumulation. The results
show that the hydrocarbon distribution of northwest shelf of Australia are divisional in plane，oil mainly occurs in NW trend
narrow rifts formed during the late Jurassic，while gas mainly distributed in the outer highs adjacent to those rifts. Vertically，
hydrocarbon principally occurs in Mesozoic series with a stratified feature，and gas is concentrated in Triassic and Jurassic
reservoirs while oil mainly occurred in Cretaceous and upper formations. Hydrocarbon accumulation of northwest shelf of
Australia is principally controlled by source rock，structural background，big delta sedimentary systems，regional seal and
later preservation conditions. Source rock property and distribution led to the appearance of“rich in gas and poor in oil”
of northwest shelf Australia and controlled the oil and gas distribution. Big delta sedimentary systems and fine regional seals
provided excellent source-reservoir-seal assemblages，and determined the concentration layers of hydrocarbon. Besides，uplifts
and highs adjacent to sags are always the favorable areas with all sorts of traps developed.

Daniudi Gasfield in Ordos Basin is typically a lithologic gas reservoir with tight and anisotropic characteristics.
There is no obvious seismic response of sand body due to low resolution，small difference of acoustic impedance between sand
and shale，and strong reflection events from coal. Therefore，it is very difficult to predict the reservoirs in the area. Using the
multi-wavelet seismic trace decomposition and reconstruction，each post-stack seismic trace is decomposed into a set of Ricker
wavelets of different dominant frequencies. A new seismic volume is then reconstructed with wavelets within a selected range
of dominant frequencies that reflect the reservoirs and used to predict the reservoirs and gas-bearing property.

Based on the isochronous formation frame，the reservoir characteristics and oil & water distribution pattern of
Es2（81）sand unit in Shenglicun faulted anticline of Shengtuo Oilfield are described by using of core data and close spacing
log information. With the mechanical balance between the driving force and resisting force of petroleum accumulation，the
mechanism of the differential distribution of WOC in faulted anticline reservoir is elaborated. The result shows that the oil
column height and WOC depth in the same sand unit but different block are inconsistent in the faulted anticline reservoir，and
the WOC in the same block is not parallel with the structural contour. The block and area with poorer physical property，smaller
strata dip and higher oil density can hold higher oil column height，which causes the differential distribution of WOC in planar
shape. In the actual reservoir，the regional difference of oil column height between blocks and in same block is a basic feature，
and the situation of WOC is controlled by reservoir heterogeneity，structural attitude and oil density comprehensively.

The area of Hala’alate mountains is located in the foreland thrust belt，north segment of the Junggar Basin，the tectonic evolution characteristics of which was complicated. Using Basin dynamics theory，basin-range coupling idea and balanced cross section technique，this paper shows the whole structural interpretation and resumes the tectonic evolution of the area of Hala’alate mountains. We analyze and discuss about the factors of oil and gas migration and accumulation which are controlled and influenced by tectonic evolution of the area. On this basis，we conclude that：（1）tectonic evolution of the area of
Hala’alate mountains is closely related to the northwest Junggar Basin，and the entire development can be divided into 4 stages: impact extrusion period（C—P），back-arc extrusion period（P2—T），extended fault period（J1—J12 ）and regenerated foreland basin（J22—Q）；（2）bitumen and heavy oil existence in Hala’alate mountains and the surrounding areas illustrate that oil and gas migration and accumulation had been occurred in this area；（3）there are two kinds of source supply system which are local source and Mahu sag distal source in the area of Hala’alate mountains. The formation of a critical period of oil and gas were the Triassic and Jurassic. The reservoir formation models may be briefly summarized as follows：earlier formation model of far source and side transportation through sand-unconformity，earlier formation model of near source and vertical transportation through sand-fault，and later formation model of near source and ladder transportation；（4）the anticlinal structures in the lower plate of the Daerbute fault should be favorable direction for oil and gas exploration.

According to the presence of aalt lake sediments of the Tertiary in the east of China，we make use of hydrocarbon
generation and expulsion of pore hot simulation instrument to carry out the simulation under the conditions of formation of
salt and no salt argillaceous source rock hydrocarbon generation and expulsion simulation experiments，through the analysis
of hydrocarbon products of the salts in hydrocarbon source rocks in the process of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion. The
results have shown that：（1）the presence of salts accelerated the evolution of hydrocarbon generation，and promoted oil and gas
generation.（2）the presence of salt reduces the adsorption capacity of organic matter，accelerated the process of transformation
and dehydration of clay，and promoted the initial operation of oil and gas shift easy cleavage and other reasons，the source
rocks in the development of micro-pores and apertures in source rocks.（3）Although there exist a large number of stranded
oil resources，salt-free zones in shale source rocks has little value of commercial exploitation because of the difficulties in
fracturing. But they may be favorable of shale rock gas exploitation when reaching maturing. Although it is easy to discharge
oil and gas generated in the process of evolution of salt rocks，20% of oil resources were still stuck，when Ro=1.28%a large
number of salts rich in minerals and low brittleness with clay minerals，are conducive to creating cracks，and are easy for
fracturing，which makes salt rock areas favorable shale zones for reservoir exploration.

Experimental pyrolysis simulation on hydrocarbon generation from organic-rich sources is an important approach
to the evaluation of hydrocarbon generation potential and resource assessment，and it can be used to simulate the physical and
chemical evolution of organic matters under geological conditions. The results of pyrolysis experiment provides the tools and
data for the appraisal of the hydrocarbon generation potential and the study of the hydrocarbon formation processes，genetic
mechanism and chemical kinetics. The samples used in pyrolysis experiments are usually from immature to low mature，
depending on the purpose of the study and also the type of organic matter and the thermal evolution of sedimentary basins. Open
system and close system are two different types of experimental apparatuses designed to probe special objectives. The open
system is used to simulate primary kerogen cracking，and the closed one is used to investigate the oil and gas secondary cracking
at high thermal maturation level. The effect of temperature，pressure，water and minerals on hydrocarbon generation from
organic matter can be quantified through experimental simulation. As a result，the relationship between oil and gas generation
history and the evolution of a sedimentary basin is revealed with the combination of the thermal history and the sedimentary
history of the basin，which provides the important parameters for basin modeling. With the demand of the rapid increase in the
exploration and development of shale gas and tight oil unconventional resources，in order to semi-quantitatively or quantitatively
extrapolate the results of laboratory simulation to geological conditions，we outlined the following new research topics related to
pyrolysis simulation from this review，including：to develop the experimental technique，especially well-constrained confining
pressure for rock cylinders at high temperature and pressure condition；to further investigate hydrocarbon formation mechanism
and petroleum expulsion efficiency；to enhance and strengthen high temperature and pressure simulation of organic matters，its
interaction with strata water and minerals，as well as organic-inorganic interaction and their role in pore development，which
will be important to the assessment of potential resources of unconventional resources，like shale gas and tight oil etc.

So far，the study of the phase behavior of hydrocarbon fluids has been relatively mature. It could supply corresponding
theoretical guidance and technical support for the efficient development of the oil and gas reservoirs. However，the effect of
porous media on phase behavior mostly is ignored. Therefore，it is crucial to study the phase behavior of fluids in porous media
with due consideration of the interactions of the fluids and porous media. With the further development in this field，advantages
of the ultrasonic detection such as no limit of pressure and temperature，no effect on fluid compositions，low cost and no harm
to human beings have received increasingly attention and the technique is gradually being used in phase behavior of fluids in
porous media. In this paper，with reference to abundant literature at home and abroad，detection mechanism of the ultrasonic
wave is described briefly and research advances of the ultrasonic detection in phase behavior of gas hydrates and condensate
gas system is summarized emphatically. And，the existing problems and future research of this technique are also identified.

The third Feixianguan formation oolitic reservoir in the Tongnanba tectonic zone is low-porosity，low-permeability
and compact limestone. We make use of logging，core and slice to discuss the main controlling factors from respects of tectonic，
sedimentology and diagenism. The results show that the oolitic reservoir is controlled by the sedimentary face，micro-
palaeogeomorphology，tectonic movement and diagenism. The preconditions of the oolitic reservoir growth is the core of
intra-platform shoals，and the high spot of the ancient micro-landform provides the indispensable material basis；the key is the
extent and the length of the exposure to air and transformation by fresh water leaching. The tectonic disruption makes possible
the connection between the pore and the hole of the reservoir，and improves the infiltration fluid ability of the unit. The well
match of the multi-factors may form the good reservoir.

Quality Dolomite Reservoir of exposure shallow shoal in back reef and the exposure reef flat has developed on
the platform edge of Changxing Formation in Yuanba Area in Sichuan Basin. By observation and description to hundreds of
meters drilling core and more than one thousand cast pieces sections of more than 20 wells drilling，we discover many reservoir
space type. The major reservoir space types are the dolomite intercrystalline pore，organism coelom pore，framework pore，
the biological intergranular porosity and dissolved pore or break，etc. The advantage reservoir spaces of the quality dolomite
reservoir Changxing Formation in Yuanba Area in Sichuan Basin，are the biological dissolved pores，and the secondary origin
porosities and cavities related to biology. The minority of secondary pores are formed directly by dolomitization，dissolution
and recrystallization etc，while the majority from biological pore. The biological pore are controlled by sedimentary context
and constructional diagenesis besides internal cause，such as mineral composition，architecture，conformation，ect. The development
of biology and dissolved pore are one of the main control factors for the quality Dolomite Reservoir in the exposure
shallow shoal in back reef and the exposure reef flat on the platform edge of Changxing Formation in Yuanba Area.

Casing hole formation resistivity logging has been paid more and more attention to in recent years，and ECOS
technology of Russia have been applied in some oilfields of China，and Chenbao Region，Jiangsu Oilfield，is one of those.
Insofar at present，the critical task is to locate the residual oil zones and to evaluate the flooding grade of oil-bearing formation.
Through comparison between ECOS-resistivity and conventional resistivity，we discover that the two kinds of resistivity have
roughly similar trend. However，there are relatively obvious amplitude differences between them，and usually，the latter is
larger than the former. The law is the more serious flooding，the larger amplitude difference. So this paper provides a novel
method，which is the relative resistivity change rate（IR），to evaluate the flooding grade. Through two cases，this method is
proved available. Finally，we conclude that the ECOS technology is suitable for Chenbao Oilfield.

The effective fracture permeability and fracturing scale which are allowed by the economy is rarely considered in the
present fracture design method，as a result，the long effectiveness and economics of the fracturing results can not be ensured.
Based on the concept of Proppant Index，with maximization of economy profit as the objective，an optimal proppant index
function is established by considering the relationship between economic aspects，reservoir size and fracturing scale. For a
given reservoir size the only optimal proppant index and optimal fracture length can be determined by using this function，and
with the iteration method we can get the optimal fracture parameters under non-Darcy flow conditions. The results show that the
more severe non-Darcy flow effect in the fracture，the smaller the optimal proppant index and fracture length is，and the larger
the optimal fracture width is，a fracture with lower penetration ration and higher fracture conductivity is needed to minimize
the non-Darcy flow effect.

Based on a new model which describes the high-velocity non-Darcy fluid flow，well testing models about homogeneous
and double medium were established considering the wellbore storage and skin effect. Then，all the models were solved
by finite difference method. Results show that when considering the high-velocity non-Darcy flow，the pressure curves will
move up and the pressure derivative curves will have a transportation hump and move back，time delay appear in the horizontal
section. Compared with the Forchheimer model，the curves of the new model have smaller upward movement. Kmr and τD
are two significant factors to determine both pressure and pressure derivative curves morphology. The transportation hump
of the pressure curves increases with the decrease of Kmr and increase of τD and the pressure derivative curves have a bigger
upward movement. At last，the difference between the drawdown test and build-up test based on high-velocity Non-Darcy flow
is clarified and a simple interpretation method is given for buildup test.

A surfactant-polymer（SP）system screened by interfacial tension experiments and Emulsifying test is prepared for
EOR in view of Yangsanmu heavy oil reservoir. This system is composed of a surfactant（PS-2）with a density of 2 000 mg/L and
HPAM with a density of 1 000 mg/L，which can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension to the magnitude of 10􀀀2 mN/m and form
stable water-in-oil（W/O）emulsion with a water separation rate of 10.8% and a viscosity-reducing rate of 95.8% for 60 min.
Core flow experiments demonstrate that the enhanced recovery of three different systems referring to SP，single polymer and
single surfactant system is 15.7% ，10.8% and 7.9% respectively when 0.3 PV flooding system was injected. Thus，SP system
is the best for EOR in Yangsanmu heavy oil reservoir，and is also helpful to applied to improve oil recovery for ordinary heavy

A special thin layer of bottom water reservoir has developed in Hutubi River Layer in Luliang Oilfield of Xinjiang.
This kind of reservoir has thin thickness，small sand body amplitude and large bottom-water energy. Drilled with horizontal
well，this kind of reservoir has possessed some characteristics such as short water free production period and water-cut with
faster ascending velocity and big decline production. Aiming at solving these problems，we established the horizontal wellbore
model which takes the pressure loss into consideration with the numerical simulation method，and obtained the pressure
distribution of horizontal wells and the influence of horizontal section production due to the pressure loss. On this basis，we
analyzed the features of water cresting characteristic of the horizontal well bottom water coning，and judged the location of
water breakthrough in horizontal section. Finally，the paper suggests that the reasonable liquid production can be achieved by
plugging the location of water breakthrough and using pump which has smaller diameter. Such method will control bottom
water coning and decrease the pressure loss and reduce the water cut increasing rate.

Combined with geological and production performance data in 4 sand group of upper Ng in Gudao Oilfield，the threedimensional
typical model reflecting reservoir architecture of point bar is set up according to quantitative description of lateral
accretion interbed in point bar. Based on economic limit production of horizontal well，the methods of reservoir engineering
and numerical simulation are used to analyze the adaptability limits of point bar potential tapping by horizontal well at high
water cut stage on the basis of distribution modes of remaining oil under different injection-production patterns in point bar. The
result shows that when the dip direction of interbed is consistent with water injection，and permeability of interbed is less than
12 mD，dip angle is lower than 7°vertical extension length / reservoir thickness more than 0.46 and horizontal spacing less than
60 m，it is time to prepare for tapping the potential of horizontal wells. When the dip direction of interbed is opposite to water
injection，and the adaptability limits become 30 mD，11°，0.33 and 90 m respectively，it is time to carry out potential tapping.
Such results provide a certain theoretical guidance for application of horizontal wells in point bar at high water cut stage.

Zheng 408 Block is a typical strong water sensitive heavy oil reservoir. The recovery performance of natural drive，
anti-swelling water flooding and steam huff and puff is unsatisfactory for the shortage of natural energy and strong water sensitivity.
Based on indoor experiments，the dissolution of CO2 in heavy oil of Zheng 408 Block and the percolation characteristics
in production period were studied. The optimization of development scheme was obtained by numerical simulation. The results
show that the volume of heavy oil increases obviously and the heavy oil viscosity will decrease greatly after the dissolving of
CO2. In CO2 huff and puff production period，CO2 precipitated in heavy oil disperses in oil like small gas bubbles because of
high viscosity，which can be defined as“foamy oil”. Foamy oil can improve the flow ability of heavy oil，increase elastic
energy and decrease the velocity of reservoir pressure drop. Numerical simulation results show that the optimal cyclic CO2
injection volume was 100 t，and the optimal injection rate was 50 t/d.

and a simple replication experiment，this method is proved to be feasible and accurate and significant to predict the saturation
distribution of high-pressure and large-thick reservoir model.

Taking the S7 reservoir of SN Oilfield as an example，a study is made of flow and oil displacement process of
surfactant in the complex rock / oil / water system after it enters porous media. Surfactant effects on residual oil include the
following three aspects: emulsion，migration and enrichment. Low interfacial tension system can make the oil disperse，then the
oil droplets become smaller，so it is easy to flow. Experimental studies show，after injection of surfactant，relative permeability
curve changes，phase curve shifts to the right，and liquid phase permeability increases，reducing residual saturation.

Based on the different molecular structures，interaction mechanisms of surfactant interaction with polymer and
high-valent metal ions were discussed. The bonding ability of calcium ions ranks as SDS > HPAM >SDBS，which results in
the different viscosities of surfactant/polymer binary systems. Experiments show that oil displacement efficiency was mainly
influenced by their viscosity and interfacial tension. However，for similar property systems，the surfactant with bigger molecular
surface cross-sectional area is more helpful to enhance oil displacement efficiency. To some extent，such surfactant would
maintain original interfacial tension while flooding.

According to no-pressure pipeline hydraulic calculation theory，and based on the critical slope gradient and the
critical unsliting speed，the paper presents the design method and rules of slope gradient and the size of horizon tank to settle
such issues as the unsteady level of mud in the return channel and the under change of mud height，which hinders the early
kick detection while drilling. With the calculation of examples，the slope gradient is optimized and the size of horizon tank is
modified to make sure of the steady level of mud，whitout talus accumulation. Besides，the fluid level sensitivity is analyzed
before and after the modification，and the results show that when the change of flow is small，the fluid level of tank changes
obviously. It is recommended to use supersonic kick detection with high accuracy to detect the change of level，and finally
detect the kick with pit level method. It has been proved to be of advisability with field experiment.

of the cylindrical surfaces of the two rings realizes the power and signal communication at the drilling joints. We analyze the
stress of conducting ring deformation process in an indoor experiment of break-out and make-up connections，and proved that
a axial force F is the main reason of conducting ring deformation，and with the finite element analysis software，we make a
numerical simulation of the contact process between inner and outer ring and the conductive ring status under the axial force F
respectively. Simulation results indicate that the conducting rings will not be plastic deformation and have high reliability if the
magnitude of interference is less than 0.024 mm and the taper of joint surface is greater than 1：5.

Water based foams have been widely used in oil well drilling，foam flooding，mineral flotation and other fields.
Because of the complexity and instability of their own structure，the exact description of their rheological properties should
consider various factors such as liquid film drainage，gas diffusion，foam mass and structure，foam compressibility，wall slip，
bubble size compared with measuring system，environment temperature and pressure and so on. This leads to no generally
accepted theory for their rheological behavior. A widely available method of controlling the wall slip is to increase surface
roughness of the flow channels such as rotor surface or pipe wall during the experimental investigation，and some theoretical
modification methods deduced from some appropriate hypotheses have a better adaptability. The volume equalized constitutive
equation assumes that the friction factor of foam flow in pipe is a constant，which can solve the difficulty of its pressure drop
calculation due to the foam compressibility to some extent. It is widely believed that the foam rheological properties can be
satisfactorily described by power law or Herschel-Bulkley models，but the existence of“yield stress”for the aqueous foams is
being disputed due to different measurement conditions.
