Non-ECG-triggered 70-kVp high-pitch aortic CTA with IR provides equivalent diagnostic image quality with 90% reduction of radiation dose and 25% reduction of contrast volume compared with standard 120-kVp CTA.
In this paper, the main factors that affect the displacement efficiency were experimental studied by means of the physical cylinder model filled with sand, based on the high efficiency of oil displacing water in the process of hydrocarbon accumulation. After eliminating of some factors that affect displacement efficiency, such as viscosity ratio, wettability and reservoir heterogeneity and so on, the research founds that the crude oil unit connectivity, that is continuity of displaced phase, has a significant impact on the displacement efficiency. The experimental results show that the crude oil unit connectivity is more than wettability, and not less than viscosity, as the factors of the impact of displacement efficiency. If the crude oil unit connectivity is serious damaged, even if the wettability of reservoir rocks was changed by improving the viscosity of injected water, its effect of enhanced oil recovery should not be obvious. In fact, this is main reason that the effect of current the EOR method such as polymer flooding, surfactant flooding and stuff was not obvious. It is expected that the research results will be useful in the displacement efficiency of waterflooding that is controlled by the crude oil unit connectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
