It is used to objectively reflect the suitability of different types of vegetation in different periods of growth based on precipitation. In another words this suitability reflects the support capacity of natural rainfall to vegetation consumed water through evapotranspiration under the specific climate environment of the Loess Plateau. The results show that: (1) The actual evapotranspiration water consumption of all types of vegetation in this region increased significantly in the first three months of the growth period from April to June, resulting in a relatively high moisture dryness index of vegetation with an average k value of 0.44. The main reason was that natural precipitation was less at this stage, and the gradually rising temperature strengthened the transpiration of most vegetation. The forest was the most stressed. At the end of May and the beginning of June, with the increase of natural precipitation, the average k value of all types of vegetation began to decline. From July to September, due to the flood season in this region, the precipitation increased sharply, and the moisture dryness index was in the lowest range of the whole growth period, and the average k value varied between 0.26 and 0.30 with the lowest value was 0.26 at the end of August and the beginning of September. (2) It is obvious that the water stress of forest is higher than that of shrub and grassland. It is fully indicated that the difference of transpiration caused by the difference of vegetation types leads to the difference of actual evapotranspiration water consumption of different vegetation types.\u0000","PeriodicalId":424174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy and Natural Resources","volume":" 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140990309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sedimentary microfacies, physical properties, and petrographic analysis were being examined for quality determination. Pore structure and physical properties data together combined with, thin sections, and scanning electron microscope and core images were used to identify factors controlling reservoir physical properties. The depositional system under debates of different gravity flows including debris flow, seismite slumping, and turbidity flows. Among which sandy debris flow facies shows a better distribution of porosity and permeability followed by seismite-slump, where turbidity facies are the poorest. The petrophysical analysis shows that the study oil interval is a typical tight sandstone reservoir with an average porosity of 9% and permeability average being 0.025mD. The rock classification criteria of the C7 sandstone reveal the sub-categories of lithic feldspar sandstone and feldspar lithic sandstone. Average quartz sandstone contents of 48.25%, average feldspar sandstone content being 25%, and lithic fragments content of 29%. The formation lithology comprises mostly fine-grained sandstone and small pore size, which disclose that the porosity-permeability distribution increases proportional to the average and median pore throat radius, and decreases with average and median pressure. The microfacies distribution shows that the depositional facies controlled physical properties. The sandstone primary pores are affected by the mineral composition of quartz, feldspar, illite, smectite, kaolinite, calcite, and dolomite. Features such as dissolved pores and intergranular pore filling by feldspar, silky-like aggregates of illite-smectite intergranular pore filling and most diagenetic minerals influenced the sandstone pores beside the compaction.\u0000","PeriodicalId":424174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy and Natural Resources","volume":" 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140991500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the energy transition, focusing specifically on the challenges encountered by the oil and gas industry and proposing strategies to effectively navigate this transformative shift. By analyzing academic literature and industry reports, this paper investigates the drivers behind the energy transition, such as governmental policies, the declining costs of renewable technologies, and the growing public demand for clean energy. Additionally, it examines the obstacles faced by the oil and gas industry, including decreasing demand, economic and technological barriers, and complex regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, the paper explores various strategies that can be employed to navigate the energy transition successfully. These strategies include diversification into renewable energy sources, collaboration with relevant stakeholders, investment in research and development, and the adoption of new and innovative business models. By implementing these strategies, the oil and gas industry can maintain its competitiveness, address the declining demand for fossil fuels, and actively contribute to global efforts aimed at mitigating climate change. The paper concludes by emphasizing the vital role of collaboration, research and development investments, and supportive policies in achieving a sustainable energy future.","PeriodicalId":424174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy and Natural Resources","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127823762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
