Summary: This study focused on typical fractured carbonate reservoirs in the Shunbei field, China, and investigated the multiscale reservoir space characteristics and core wettability of ultradeep fractured carbonate reservoirs. The results showed that the primary damage mechanisms of this reservoir are fluid sensitivity and liquid phase trapping. Abnormally low water saturation, mixed wettability, abundant clay minerals, and the fourth-order fracture network contribute to fluid sensitivity and liquid phase trapping damage.

Summary: Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is a promising strategy to reduce CO2 levels by injecting CO2 into deep carbonate reservoirs. However, the dissolution or precipitation of calcite/dolomite planes on minerals/solution interface during the long-term GCS process affects the permeability and stability of the reservoirs. This study investigated the interface dissolution mechanisms of calcite and dolomite, particularly on (110) and (104) planes, providing a better understanding for the stability of the long-term GCS process.

Summary: The dissolution dynamics of carbonate rocks in shallow burial are important for the formation of high-quality reservoirs, with associated minerals playing a significant role in the dissolution processes. Metal ions in acidic fluids have been found to influence fluid properties and dissolution processes, impacting reservoir quality. Additional studies are needed to further understand the impact of associated minerals on the dissolution dynamics of carbonates.

Summary: Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) has potential for large-scale storage, and carbonate reservoirs can play a significant role. However, there is limited research on the risks and uncertainties related to carbonate dissolution and hydrogen loss. This study used geochemical modeling to assess the potential of UHS in the Majiagou carbonate formation in China. The results indicate that carbonate reservoirs are suitable for seasonal hydrogen storage but may not be ideal for long-term storage.

Summary: Isotopes and trace elements extracted from fish otoliths are commonly used to understand different fish habitats. Otoliths can track the life-long histories of fish habitats and supplement tagging methods. Radiocarbon measurement techniques allow for small quantities to be prepared for this purpose, and variations in radiocarbon can be used to understand migration history. However, a drawback is the time-consuming sample collection process for otolith isotope methods. Sequential acid digestion systems offer a potential solution by providing information on otolith growth. In this study, a newly designed glass apparatus was used to test otoliths from western Pacific roughy, showing promising results in reconstructing their life history.

Summary: Predicting mineral-fluid reaction rates in geologic materials is highly uncertain, despite their importance in various applications. The slow calcite-fluid reaction in deep sea carbonate sediments remains poorly understood, as well as the persistence of non-zero rates over millions of years. This study examines pore fluid data from ocean drilling archives to estimate the rates of calcite dissolution and precipitation as a function of depth and sediment age.

Summary: The formation and distribution of carbonate minerals have significant impacts on reservoir development. The dissolution-precipitation effect is crucial in controlling the reformation of reservoir physical properties. Multi-stage cementation and dissolution of these carbonate minerals play important roles in the diagenesis-porosity evolution of the reservoirs.

Summary: The study on Mishrif carbonates in the Central Mesopotamian Basin of Iraq shows a wide range of rock fabrics and diagenetic features that impact reservoir quality and flow properties. A homoclinal ramp geometry model with twelve microfacies types is proposed, showing low-energy conditions in the ramp. Two main diagenetic features shape reservoir properties, including early diagenetic dissolution and preferential cementation, leading to distinctive reservoir qualities.

Summary: The Upper Carboniferous sandstone reservoir in the Ordos Basin is crucial for natural gas exploration. This study analyzed 157 Jinci sandstone samples to understand the reservoir's material composition and pore structure. The results showed that the reservoir is mainly composed of quartz arenite and sublithic arenite, with quartz being the dominant detrital particle. The cement consists of siliceous material, clay minerals, and carbonate. Different pore-throat structures and radius distributions were identified. Factors such as deposit composition and diagenetic modification were found to influence the reservoir's pore structure. The study also predicted the reservoir quality based on lithological characteristics and diagenetic-controlled pore-throat evolution patterns.

Summary: This study developed and validated a radiomics nomogram to predict the survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. The results showed that the radiomics score and tumor size were independent risk factors for the survival of PDAC patients. The combination of radiomics score and clinicopathological factors had better predictive value compared to clinical and radiomics models. The radiomics nomogram demonstrated improved discrimination, calibration, and clinical practicability.

Summary: In this study, carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from waste fish scales, and the effects of hydrothermal and microwave methods on their fluorescence properties and structures were evaluated. The microwave method facilitated self-doping of nitrogen, but resulted in incomplete dehydration and condensation, forming nanosheet-like CDs with emission behavior independent of excitation. The CDs prepared using the conventional hydrothermal method showed higher quantum yields and excitation wavelength-dependent emission behavior due to the dehydration and condensation of organic matter at controlled high temperature and sealed environment.
