There are great differences in damage mechanism between coal-beds and conventional reservoirs owing to the unique char-acteristics of pore structure, gas storage and production process-es in coal-beds. Coal-beds at the national test site for coal-bed methane development in Liupanshui are selected. Mercury in-jection and SEM are applied to analyze pore types, size and dis-
tribution of pore throats of coal-beds. The parameters of pore structure of coal-bed are computed. On this basis of anthropo-logical features, pore structure, sensitivity and damage evalua-tion test from working fluids, damage mechanisms of coal seams have been analyzed. Results indicate that microprobes occurred in plant tissues, pores resulted from gas generation, and frac-tures are well developed in coal seams, so the reservoirs belong
to dual-porous medium. Therefore coal-beds can easily be invad-ed and damaged by working fluids. The study shows that solid invasion, stress sensitivity, aqueous trapping and adsorption of high molecular polymers are major damage factors.

The predicted pore throat volume by the capillary pressure data is a key parameter and can be used to evaluate the shutoff of trap and the favorable area of hydrocarbon accumulation. But it is not easy to acquire the capillary pressure data, and it is easy to acquire the porosity and permeability data by common core analysis. So if we can inverse the distribution of pore throat or
the capillary pressure curve by the pore and permeability data of the core? Based on the fractal geometry, the capillary pressure curve of inversion is acquired by the porosity and permeability data, and the model for estimating the distribution of pore throat is set up. It opens up a new way for the study of pore structure in non-cored formation. The practical data verifies the
validity of this method.

The Lishui-Jiaojiang Sag was a faulted basin developing on the continental margin from the late cretaceous epoch. The ex-tensional quantities, coefficient and ratio of the basin in differ-ent areas during the different faulting time of extension have been obtained by means of the technique of balanced geological cross-sections in this paper. The basin’s extension differs in dif-
ferent period and different regions. The extensional ratio re-duces from the south to the north. The main extensional period is from the late Cretaceous Epoch to the Paleocene Epoch and maximum extensional period is different in different regions.The maximum extension period is the late Cretaceous in the
south Lishui Sag, the early Paleocene in the north Lishui Sag and the Jiaojiang Sag. The basin’s extension results from the normal faults’drawing away in horizon and the faulted blocks’tilting extension.

An integrated study on lithology, sedimentology and petroleum geology of Pre-Salt Sediments in the Pre-Caspian Basin are carried out in this paper. The key point of oil and gas reservoir formation and distribution in the Pre-Salt Sediments is recognized. By analysis of characters and distribution patterns of
the found hydrocarbon pools, it is suggested that the Pre-Salt Sediments in Kraton-Tengiz Uplift and North Caspian-Azigiar Uplift are the favorable areas for petroleum exploration, fol-lowed by Yenbek-Zharkames and Zhanazhol areas (eastern part of the basin), and the southwestern and western slopes of the Astrakhan-Oktyabrsk Uplift zone (the western and southwest-ern parts of the basin), as well as Uzensk area (the northwest-ern basin) are of certain potential for petroleum exploration as well.

The concept of syngenetic fault is known as growth fault or synsedimentary fault. Through the studying on the syngenetic fault in offshore area of the Dagang Oilfield, it is found the in-ternal syngenetic faults had segmented growth feature clearly,they grew segmentedly, and connected to one fault finally. The segmented growth feature of the syngenetic fault in the depres-
sion had the different control on the stratigrphic sedimentation,hydrocarbon migration and accumulation. Which makes that in the same hydrocarbon-bearing system, also in the samefault and horizon, just in the different location, the hydrocarbon migra-tion and accumulation pattern different. Segmented study on the syngenetic fault in the depression is of important practical meanings to guide the field exploration and production.

The structural evolution of Bayanhot Basin underwent a structural transform from compressional deformation to exten-sional deformation. So, a lot of structural types were developed in the basin. Normal fault and strike-slip fault all can be found in the studied area. According to the stress environment, the
structural assemblage types of Bayanhot Basin may be divided into two major types, six basic types, i.e. Compressional struc-tural assemblage, including imbricate thrust assemblage, trap-door structure, pop-up structure, assemblage of listric thrust and dragged anticline and dragged syncline; extensional struc-tural assemblage, including assemblage of listric normal fault,fault and roll over anticline and horst-graden assemblage. Trap-
door structure, pop-up structure, and assemblage of listric thrust, dragged anticline and dragged syncline are most favor-able to the accumulation of oil and gas.

Boron neutron lifetime log developed from neutron lifetime is a new technology of dynamic monitoring suitable for low salinity formations. It is generally used in cased hole for deter-mining remaining oil salutation of formation with salinity by in-jecting borohidrade with high capture section into formations.
The technology can acquire the information of remaining oil in formation using“log-injection-log”technique by changing the properties of formation water near wellbore temporarily. It can guide potential tapping of measures in single wells effectively. Obvious effectiveness of oil increment is achieved in well Tong
61-Geng40 and well He68-24 by implemented measures on the basis of boron neutron lifetime log data.

The paper describes a new approach to reservoir simula-tion, the formulations in multi-component reservoir simulation model are firstly expressed as fully differential form on unknown variables, then are dispersed as numerical difference equations on these variables. The basic viewpoint is that all unknown variables’differences are regarded as new variables of singular
differences cells, and then all variables’differences can be expressed as the algebra sum of the cells.The differential variables of the variables are the differentially changing variables of the variables, which is derived from common solution of the variables. The iteration procedure of solving these difference equations will be improved on all unknown variables through using value of the cells step by step.

Based on lots of laboratory work, three groups of bacteria that can live in reservoir condition were picked to be applied to five wells in Qinghai Oilfield to improve oil production. These bacteria can change the oil’s properties and enhance the oil re-covery in Lab flooding experiment. All the five wells, which
produced sand and a mass of paraffin precipitated, produced more oil after microbial treatment with average increment by 8.35% through 35.72%. In the same time, the interval of hot oil cycling go beyond 2.3 times, The ratio of cost to return reached 1∶4.5, which indicate the prosperous future of applica-
tion of microbial method for improving oil production to Qinghai Oilfield.

The cold production technology of heavy oil is based on both earthworm-shapedchannels which occur after a great lot of sand is produced and steady foamy oil, by which the oil produc-tion can be remarkably enhanced. This technology has found satisfactory application in Henan Oilfield and also successfully used in middle-depth, very thin heavy oil reservoirs. The oil
rate of first pilot well was8 times that of the common wells, 4 times that of the steam soaking wells, whilethe production cost was 47% less that of the steam soaking wells. This technology was also successfully applied to low cycle steam soaking wells in heavy oil reservoir, which improved the oil rate by 1-3 times.

At the late stage of steam soaking, the reservoir pressure is low, so is the oil saturation within the wellbore area, while the water cut is high and the ratio of oil to gas low, which means the reservoir production get worse. Nitrogen injection is an ef-fective way to improve oil recovery at late stage of steam soak-ing, which increases the steam soaking volume and provides dis-
placement energy to reduce residual oil saturation and enhance recovery. The results from reservoir simulation indicated that it is reasonable to inject nitrogen first and then steam at late steam soaking, and there exists an optimum nitrogen volume in a in-jection cycle.

Steam soaking now is the primary method to produce heavy oil. However, there exist two unfavour factors, which are uneven steam injection profile and channeling, to affect the performance of steam soaking. The longer the production histo-ry extends, the more severe the channeling becomes. In such
situation, it is difficult to enlarge the steam acting range to im-prove heavy oil recovery. In this paper, based on study on the steam soaking situation of Block 9 heavy oil reservoir, Kalamayi Oilfield, a newly developed high temperature GFD-98 gel com-binationhas been applied to several wells to control steam pro-file, which has made a hit.

There are a variety of development schemes that can be used to exploit gas-cap reservoir, and there are many factors to influence its production performance. According to the basic de-velopment rules of gas-cap reservoir, based on the realfield data, we studied the reasonable development scheme, injection-pro-duction ratio, recovery rate, oil rate of well adjacent to GOC
and the optimum time to produce gas-cap gas. For the first time, the oil loss was calculated and discussed. As a result, a couple of development policy for gas-cap reservoir were present-ed:①The injection-production system should be improved and the gas and oil should produced evenly;②The oil in oil ring
must be first produced, then the gas in gas-cap can be produced 4 years later;③The oil well adjacent to GOC should be put in- to production at a low rate;④The gas and oil should be pro-duced simultaneously if the gas reserve in gas-cap is relatively larger than that of oil.

Since Block Lun 16 of Baise Oilfield has stepped into high water cut production phase, an effective profile control/water shutoff technology was applied to improve oil recovery. On the basis of numerous Lab experiments, a new clay HPAM agent and its concentration adapted to Block Lun 16 reservoir charac-
teristic were selected to block the distant larger reservoir chan-nels in order to adjust profile control. After the practical appli-cation of the new agent to a couple of well groups in Block Lun 16 of Baise Oilfield, the oil rate increased remarkably while the water cut declined, which will be a successful experience for the whole oilfield to solve the profile control/water shutoff problem.

CORBA is an object-oriented distributed computing envi-ronment. The core of CORBA is the communication of object.To construct a reusable and extensible communication layer of CORBA, Reactor and Acceptor patterns were introduced. The Reactor design pattern can handle synchronous events in a pro-cess, while the Acceptor design pattern decouples service initial-
ization from service processing. At first, the structures of the patterns including handle, synchronous event demultiplexer,initiation dispatcher, concrete event handle, Acceptor and ser-vice handler are elaborated. Then the dynamics of these pat-terns, how to link and how to process service, was explained.
Then the implementation of initiation dispatcher,concrete event handler, Acceptor and service handler was described in this pa-per. And one of the features of the patterns: concurrency is presented. Finally, the benefits and liabilities of the patterns are discussed.
