The conditions, in terms of hydrocarbon source, temperature, pressure, tectonic activities and sealing, for the formation of condensate gas pools in the Tarim basin are analyzed and discussed. It is concluded that the gas-generating kerogens are of both the land-derived humic type and the marine sapropelic type, withthe two types generating gas condensates at different
thermal evolutional stages. The temperature and pressure ranges for the gas condensate accumulations in the basin are 70-130℃and 35-60 MPa, respectively. The existence of favorable regional capping beds is an important factor for the enrichment of gas condensates, while later phase tectonic reworking is the major factor for the formation of secondary gas condensate pools.

In general, geophysical inversion is a nonlinear, multi-parameter, non-onvex question. It is therefore worthy of solving geophysical inversion questions with nonlinear approaches to search for new global optimization algorithm. In the present work, the thought of chaotic noise perturbing is introduced into
seismic waveform inversion. The method is characterized by introducing a simple nonlinear feedback into the gradient descendant systems for optimization tasks. It not only maintains the fast searching speed of the gradient descendant method, but also is of the capability to get away from the pitfall of local extremum. Results show that in comparison with conventional genetic algorithm and logistic map-based chaotic optimization algorithm the proposed method is faster in computation and needs
less subjective parameters, and then is easier to lead to a global optimization.

The key parameter in evaluating fractured carbonate reservoirs is fracture porosity. However, the evaluation of such reservoirs with conventional logging data has for the most part been qualitative. On the basis of qualitative identification, the fracture porosity of the Changxing fractured carbonate reservoir in the T gas field was determined in the present work, by calibrating log curves with core data. Results indicate a higher loginterpretation precision although available log curves were much limited. Considering the situation in many of the old oil/gas fields where log data are extremely inadequate, it is believed that the proposed method is promising in application.

The tectonic evolution of Santanghu basin has undergone three major stages: (1) Oceanic subduction during Middle Devonian and the early phase of Late Devonian; (2) Formation of remnant sea basin from the late phase of Later Devonian to Early Carboniferous; (3) Intra-plate tectonic evolution since Later
Carboniferous. The last stage can be further divided into four sub-stages: collision and mountain formation during Late Carboniferous-Early Permian, A-subduction and foreland basin formation during Late Permian-Triassic, stress adjustment and sag-basin formation during Jurassic-Cretaceous, and Aubduc-
tion and regenerative foreland basin formation since Tertiary.Accordingly, six different, stacking prototype basins, namely back-arc basin, remnant sea basin, fore-mountain sag basin,foreland basin, simple sag basin and regenerative foreland basin,have been formed.

The combined use of conventional logs such as density,neutron and resistivity logs has been proven very effective in evaluating normal reservoirs. An accurate determination of the petrophysical parameters with the conventional logs for low resistivity reservoirs, however, is very difficult. This paper presents two cases of low resistivity reservoirs and low contrast resistivity reservoirs where conventional logging interpretation shows water zones, yet water free hydrocarbons would be produced. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been available only as a supplement tool, to provide additional information on the productivity of the reservoir. This paper shows that in the
case of low resistivity contrast reservoirs NMR is a very cost-effective tool for helping accurately determine petrophysical properties of the reservoir.

Salt bed creep has been a big challenge for casing program design for deep and extra-deep wells. It is also the case in the Tarim basin, where there are very thick, gypsum-bearing salt beds in the Carboniferous formations of Lunnan and Halihatang areas and in the Tertiary formations of Yinmaili area. During drilling into these formations, sticking of tool was often the case. Shear deformation or breakdown of the casing induced by salt creeping would occur shortly after completion. Therefore, the conventional methods of casing program design cannot satisfy the needs in this basin. In the present work, a method is proposed and the companying software is developed of casing
program design for deep and extra-deep wells, with salt bed creeping taken into consideration. The method and software have been used in designing the casing program of seven wells and have been proven valid and effective.

On the basis of Warren-Root model, a mathematical model of unstable seepage flow in deformable, dual-porosity reservoirs for the infinite and bounded strata isproposed. Introduced into the model are fractal parameters (dfandθ) and deformation coefficients. The model assumes that both fracture porosity and porosityare functions of pressure and spatial distance, and thus
it is nonlinear in nature. Numerical solutions to the model are obtained with the predictor-corrector method. Pressure transient character and its effect on the parameters are analyzed.

Gas produced from a reservoir tends to have liquid-phase material with it, which can accumulate in the wellbore over time when the transporting energy is low enough. The liquid thus accumulated will cause additional hydrostatic pressure onthe reservoir, resulting in a continued reduction of available
transportation energy and affecting the production capacity. In some cases, it even causes gas well to die. Many formulas related to the determination of critical rate for continuous removal of liquids from gas well have been proposed. Two of the models,as proposed by Min LI and Turner et al, respectively, are compared in this paper. The comparative study includes: (1) The shape of liquid droplets entrained in high velocity stream; (2)The drag coefficient; (3) The terminal velocity and critical rate formulae; (4) Comparative study with field data. For the easier application purpose, simplified formulas for the calculation of critical rate and production rate are also deduced and given in the paper.

The injected water samples offered by SZ36-1 oil field are seawater, sewage and formation water. The scale produced by the injection water is one of the important factors that impac jection of flooding wells and developing effect in the oil field. Analysis results of water show that the concentration of SO^2-₄is as high as 3670 mg/L in seawater, which requires special attention to the concentration of Ba²⁺in source water that mixed with seawater during flooding in order to avoid generating BaSO₄scale. In addition, there are some HCO^-₃ions in the three kinds of source water, so it is essential to consider the fact that the changing of temperature breaks the balance of water system and generates CaCO3scale. The tendency of scaling of the mixed samples of three kinds of source water is studied under the formation temperature (60℃) and the normal temperature (20℃) by the perpendicular method. Results show that the maximums of scale of the mixed samples of three kinds of
source water are very different (they are 139 mg/L and 12 mg/L) under the different temperatures. At the same time, the optimal and the worst mixture ratio of the mixed sample of three kinds of source water are obtained respectively. It provides a reliable basis for injecting mixed formation water, sewage and seawater of the oil field.

On the basis of preliminary studies on the mechanism of oil displacement with clay colloid SMD system, this work focuses on the regularities of percolation and dispersion of clay colloids in different permeability models. The physical models used are flat sand-packs. Observed phenomena include pressure balancing between large and small pores/throats, pressure fluctuation,and emulsification-transporting. It has been noted that the advancing front of the moving SMD system would assume a fanlike shape, with a zone of dilution and dispersion occurring along the edge, and periodical break though would take place within the low-permeability layers. With the clay colloid system, oil/gas mobility ratio and sweep efficiency can be effectively improved. By modifying the formula of SMD system, can be used to formations of different ermeability.

The Chenjiazhuang Reservior in Shengli Oil Field is a typically heavy and high permeability reservoir, which resulted in a relatively poor oil increment by the universal thermal-stimulation. By the geologic research and the developmentanalysis, robust water-injection according to distribution of remaining oil andhydrodynamic, matching techniques as well as careful reservoir management, were all contributed much to oil recovery,
which comes true that oil production annually held steady-going
with a bit of rise. The comprehensive water percentage was steady, the oil exploration effect was obviously improved, and the recovery efficiency increased 5.6%.

The area within Feiyantan oilfield was under polymer injection when the total water cut reached 86.1%. As such the area claims the lowest water cut among all the areas put into polymer injection in Shengli oilfield so far. A good effect of increased oil production and decreased water cut appears after the
polymer flooding has been carried out over one year. Oil production increases from 652 t/d to 758 t/d, while total water cut decreases from 86.1% to 79.9%. And a cumulative incremental production of 2. 2×104t has been obtained. Currently the character of early-stage flooding-production performance is apparent. The practiceand research show that the important measures to improve polymer-flooding effect in the coming years should be differential management of the injection-production wells, and a balanced recovery of liquids from the wells.

A series laboratory experiments have been carried out in this paper to investigate foam behaviors during N2/ASP alternative injection, especially its flow behaviors under different flow rate and pressure conditions. Experimental results show that the formation and flow of foam were seriously affected by velocity and pressure. High flow velocity makes gas channeling happen,
and low flow velocity makes the difficulty increase of foam propagating along the displacement. Low pressure is beneficial to generate stable foams. Once foam formed, its flow resistance increases and mobility decreases notably. In the process of N2/ASP alternative injection, the foam generated in the input area will propagate along porous media at the displacing of viscous fluid.

A new method on bentonite modification by carbon-entraining roasting has been presented. The optimum conditions for bentonite modification were determined by the experiments.
The effect of improvement was evaluated by de-phenol efficiency in aqueous solution. Comparing with directing roasting method, the bentonite absorber made by carbon-entraining method has stronger adsorptive capacity, its dephenol efficiency raises about 16%. The absorber is easy to separate by sagging after treating waste water, and the recovered absorber is reusable by activation at 600℃. The modified bentonite by carbon-entraining roasting method is a good organic wastewater treatment agent that is cheaper and does not cause secondary pollution. Besides, it can be used as a catalyst carrier because the modified betonite has a stable structure and large amounts of specific surface.

To provide the theoretical basis for practical production and the design of two phase separators, this paper simulated the existing region of the stratified flow under different pipe inclined angles and the inclined angle of maximum region for stratified flow in the pipeline operation conditions was presented. The stable criterion for the stratified flow interface was derived from Kelvin Helmholtz instability theory, and the transition from stratified flow to annual flow presented by Barnea was adopted in the present papers. The results show that: the stratified flow in the upward pipelines almost did not exist; with the angle under the downward pipeline increasing, the existing region for
stratified flows gradually increased, and quickly decreased after exceeding the maximum region, and even disappeared; The optimal separating efficiency can be obtained when the inlet inclined angle of two phase separators is about 30 degree.

Oil well always follows the production rate decreasing and the containing water increasing from the beginning of the development to the well closed not until it is no economic value. Especially, it is developed after the middle development term, the crude oil production rate was declined quickly and the contained water was raised quickly. The measurement of the increased
production was necessary for the production decrement to be delayed and the contained water increment to be controlled, it will enhance the life of the oil well economy. The cost will gradually be increased when the oil well is production with the time lose.It will make the economic benefit maximum in the whole oil well life when the oil well benefit was equal to the cost by some
measurements.
