Movement and deformation of the Ordos basin and adjacent regions of North China by Peng Ding, Yuanjin Pan, Hao Ding, Jiashuang Jiao

“…Additionally, the block exhibits rigidity and there is negligible counterclockwise rotation. Relative to the Ordos Basin, the Loop Fault on the north side of the Ordos Block displays a left-rotation strike-slip rate of approximately 0.9 mm/yr and a dip-slip rate of around 0.5 mm/yr, accompanied by slight extrusion. …”

Research on the influence of dynamic contact angle of mercury meniscus on the interpretation of rock pore throat radius in mercury intrusion experiments by Jinyou Dai, Jinyou Dai, Sha Pi, Junzhe Wu, Yang Zhang

“…Based on the excellent wetting and de-wetting correlation characteristics at the equal mercury saturation points on this curve, a method for measuring the dynamic contact angles of mercury meniscus (O-R loop method) is established. Taking the Chang 63 tight oil reservoir samples from the Nanliang Oilfield in the Ordos Basin of China as an example, this method is applied to investigate the dynamic contact angles of mercury meniscus in mercury intrusion porosimetry experiments and the impact on the interpretation of pore throat radius in rocks. …”
