Fast Reservoir Characterization with AI-Based Lithology Prediction Using Drill Cuttings Images and Noisy Labels.

In this paper, we considered one of the problems that arise during drilling automation, namely the automation of lithology identification from drill cuttings images. Usually, this work is performed by experienced geologists, but this is a tedious and subjective process. Drill cuttings are the cheapest source of rock formation samples; therefore, reliable lithology prediction can greatly reduce the cost of analysis during drilling.

[Effect of dosed diet restriction on physiological remodeling and bioelectric properties of bone].

The effect of dosed diet restriction on the physiological remodeling and bioelectric properties of bone tissue was studied in 48 male Wistar rats 3- and 18-months of age. The rate of bone tissue apposition was studied by the dynamic histomorphometry method (intravital tetracycline labeling). Electric potentials on the periosteal surface of the freshly isolated femurs were recorded.

[Effects of hypokinesia and hypoxia on the bone static electrogenesis].

It was studied the conformities to law of quasistatic electric potential (QSEP) distribution on the periosteal surface of 64 adult Vistar rats-males fresh exited femur and their changes after dosed hypokinesia and hypoxia influences. The maximal negative sizes of QSEP were incorporated in epiphyseal-metaphyseal departments and minimal--in the central part of bone diaphysis. Conformities to law of QSEP distribution on the periosteal surface fresh exited bone represented the physiology unevenness of metabolic processes intensity in the different bone departments.

[The stress generated potential in the femur during different modes of mechanical loading in rats].

It was studied the stress generated potential (SGP) of moist femur bones of 24 Vistar rats-males in normo- and hypokinesia conditions. The mechanical loading on bone was evened 30-50 and 100% from animal body mass. The mechanical pressure was carried out in axial direction.

Thermodynamic properties of methane hydrate in quartz powder.

Using the experimental method of precision adiabatic calorimetry, the thermodynamic (equilibrium) properties of methane hydrate in quartz sand with a grain size of 90-100 microm have been studied in the temperature range of 260-290 K and at pressures up to 10 MPa. The equilibrium curves for the water-methane hydrate-gas and ice-methane hydrate-gas transitions, hydration number, latent heat of hydrate decomposition along the equilibrium three-phase curves, and the specific heat capacity of the hydrate have been obtained. It has been experimentally shown that the equilibrium three-phase curves of the methane hydrate in porous media are shifted to the lower temperature and high pressure with respect to the equilibrium curves of the bulk hydrate.
