Organic geochemistry of heavy/extra heavy oils from sidewall cores, Lower Lagunillas Member, Tia Juana Field, Maracaibo Basin, Venezuela

The study of 22 oils from sidewall cores taken at different depths in the Lower Lagunillas Member, well LSJ-AB, Tia Juana Field, Maracaibo Lake is presented, with the purpose of predicting the intervals that present the best crude oil quality. Differences were detected in the biodegradation levels of the studied samples, which are correlated with the depth at which the sidewall core was taken. The API gravity was considered for the oils from each sidewall core and it was found that toward the top of the sequence, the oils have an API gravity of 10.6-11.2°, while toward the base part of the sequence, the well produces extra heavy oils with an API gravity that varies between 8.2 and 8.7°.     

Integrative Cognitive Therapy for Depression: A Preliminary Investigation.

This study is a preliminary investigation of an integrative treatment aimed at improving the efficacy of cognitive therapy (CT) for depression. The development of the treatment protocol was based on process findings, which suggested that strategies used in CT to resolve alliance ruptures may actually exacerbate problems in the therapeutic relationship. The protocol integrates, within the traditional CT treatment manual, procedures to repair alliance ruptures that are derived from or consistent with humanistic and interpersonal therapies. Although conducted by inexperienced therapists, the integrative treatment led to greater improvement than a waiting-list condition. The results also compare favorably to previous findings for CT.

Assessing and interpreting personality change and continuity in patients treated for major depression.

Structural, mean- and individual-level, differential, and ipsative personality continuity were examined in 599 patients treated for major depression assigned to 1 of 6 forms of a 6-month pharmaco-psychotherapy program. Covariation among traits from the Five Factor model remained invariant across treatment, and patients described themselves as slightly more extraverted, open to experience, agreeable and conscientious, and substantially more emotional stable after treatment. Trait changes were only to a small extent explained by changes in depression severity. There was evidence for differential, individual-level, and ipsative stability, with stable personality profiles in terms of shape and to a lesser extent in terms of scatter and elevation. Traits remain relatively stable, except for emotional stability, despite the depressive state and the psychopharmacological interventions.

冀中坳陷东北部石炭—二叠系储层特征及勘探方向

渤海湾盆地冀中坳陷石炭—二叠系残留分布区即坳陷东北部的文安斜坡、杨村斜坡、大城凸起等地区,受印支—燕山和喜马拉雅期强烈的后期构造运动改造,历经差异升降和拉张断陷两大构造发育阶段,致使东、西部剥蚀带的埋藏史表现为沉降—抬升—沉降、沉降—抬升两种类型。区内沉积体系发育较为齐全,自下而上可以识别出滨海潮坪—沼泽、三角洲和河流等三大沉积体系;其中,三角洲和河流体系发育的分流河道、辫状河道砂岩分布范围广、厚度大,形成了该区最主要的砂体类型。区内砂岩储层在其间断埋藏成岩过程中,受表生淋滤作用和深部淋滤作用的影响,形成了较为发育的次生孔隙,孔隙度一般为15%～25%,大气水的深部淋滤作用又进一步改善了断层发育区的储集性能,并由此形成了该区优质的储层。综合评价认为,西部剥蚀带附近是最有利的勘探区带。     

鄱阳湖水质状况分析与评价

鄱阳湖是我国最大的淡水湖,其水质现状为人们普遍关心的问题。通过对1980年1月至1988年12月水质资料的搜集整理,对鄱阳湖水质的时空分布规律进行分析。作出的结论是:鄱阳湖虽已受到污染,但其水质总体情况尚属良好,在全国淡水湖泊中属最好的湖泊之一,应予特别珍惜、保护。     

VARIATIONS IN ALFALFA JUICE SOLUTE CONCENTRATIONS AS WATER IS EVAPORATED

Alfalfa juice was extracted from plants during the graving phases of the first and second crops. The alfalfa juice was dried and solute concentrations were measured periodically during the process using freezing point depression (FPD) as an indicator. Solute/solvent weight ratios were calculated from the freezing point depression of fresh unconcentrated 'uice extracted from both firsc and second crops. At the time of harvest, tie FPD was a function of this ratio. The first and second crops behaved distinctively different during the drying process, with the second having a larger soluce concentration and a greater FPD at a given moisture content. The appearance of preci itate during the drying process and the general1 large FPD makes this materiay a questionable product for drying vitg low temperature processes.     

昆2井优快钻井及油气层保护技术

昆2井是一口位于柴北缘西段的昆特依凹陷潜伏Ⅰ号圈闭上的风险探井,设计井深为5950m。针对柴北缘深探井存在的主要技术难题,制定了昆2井的技术对策。通过对钻井设备的优选、井身结构的优化、钻头及钻具组合的优选、钻井参数及钻井液性能的优化、油气层保护技术的研究与应用,形成了一套适合于柴北缘的优快钻井技术,使昆2井的完钻井深达到5950m。与邻区的深探井平均水平相比,在井深增加888m、大尺寸井眼段更长的前提下,昆2井的钻井、完井周期分别缩短了98.75d、124.2d,钻机月速度增加了317m/台,平均机械钻速增加了0.82m/h。根据“理想充填新理论”,确定了保护油气层的最优复配暂堵方案,利用该方案所配制的钻井液其渗透率恢复值达到了87.5%以上,流变性能良好,滤失量低,对改善泥饼质量、增强井壁稳定性有明显的效果。     

准噶尔盆地三台-北三台地区第三系勘探潜力分析

从沉积及储层组合、油气运移系统等方面全面剖析了准噶尔盆地三台-北三台地区第三系油气成藏条件，建立了成藏模式，对未钻探区勘探潜力进行了预测；通过分析，认为该区第三系储层物性主体差，断裂更多地表现为封闭性，导致沟通深部油气源的运移体系不畅，致使第三系圈闭不能有效捕获和储集油气。圈闭又比较匮乏，主体勘探潜力不大。北25井西背斜紧邻多期活动的甘诃子北断裂，第三系可能发育较好的储层，相对有利，北25井西背斜应是钻探第三系的首选目标。     

Depressive symptoms erode self-esteem in severe mental illness: A three-wave, cross-lagged study.

Vulnerability, scar, and reciprocal-relations models of depressive symptoms and self-esteem were compared among people with severe mental illness (SMI; N=260) participating in a partnership-based intervention study. Assessments were conducted at baseline, midway through the intervention (after 4 months), and at termination (after 9 months). Cross-lagged, structural equation modeling analyses revealed that participants' baseline depressive symptoms predicted a decrease in self-esteem in the first 4 months but not in the subsequent 5 months of participation. Exploratory regression analyses indicated that improved social functioning buffered this deleterious effect of depressive symptoms. These findings, which are consistent with the scar model, highlight the fragile nature of the self and the importance of social functioning in recovery from SMI.

塔里木盆地塔河油区原油生物标志化合物在运移方面的应用探讨

塔河油区奥陶系原油的成熟度较高,且受生物严重降解.不同的生物标志化合物成熟度参数仅对有机质生成原油的不同阶段起到标尺作用,需优选既能较好地抗生物降解且适用于较宽的成熟度范围的指标来分析塔河油气运移的可能途径.三环萜烷/17α(H)-藿烷、重排甾烷/规则甾烷及Ts/(Ts+Tm)的比值是比较适用于塔河油区这种特殊性质的原油的生物标志化合物.根据研究,奥陶系原油油气存在两个注入通道,早期主要是由南向北方向运移,油气成熟度相对较低,成藏较早;晚期由东向西运移,原油成熟度相对于早期的较高,原油成藏稍晚.
