The Sulige tight gas field is presently the largest gas field in China. Owing to the ultralow permeability and strong heterogeneity of the reservoirs in Sulige, the number of production wells has exceeded 3,000, keeping the stable gas supply in the decade. Thus, the daily production prediction of gas wells is significant for monitoring production and for implementing and evaluating stimulation …
This paper presents an enhanced 3D heat map for exploratory data analysis (EDA) of open mineral data, addressing the challenges caused by rapidly evolving datasets and ensuring scientifically meaningful data exploration. The Mindat website, a crowd-sourced database of mineral species, provides a constantly updated open data source via its newly established application programming interface (API…
Mineral evolution, the study of the diversity and temporal distribution of Earth’s crystalline phases, posits that mineral species have diversified over the past 4.5 billion years as a result of varied physical, chemical, and biological processes. The complementary field of mineral ecology is the study of the diversity and spatial distribution of mineral species on Earth and other terrestrial…
