The differences of crude oil recovery ratio resulted in different levels of crude oil in actual hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)-containing wastewater. The effect of crude oil on HPAM biotransformation was explored from bioresource production, enzymatic activity and microbial function. In aerobic biosystems, the highest polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) yield (19.6%-40.2%) and dehydrogenase (DH) activity (4.06-8.32 mg·g VSS) occurred in the 48th hour, and increased with crude oil concentration (0-400 mg·L). In anoxic biosystems, the highest PHA yield (24.5%-50.5%) and DH activity (3.24-6.69 mg·g VSS) occurred in the 72nd hour, and increased with crude oil concentration. The higher substrate removal (38.5%-65.7%) occurred in aerobic biosystems, while the higher PHA accumulation occurred in anoxic biosystems. PHA yield, DH activity and HPAM removal were related. Microbial function related to HPAM biodegradation and PHA synthesis was discussed. The main function of Pseudomonas and Bacillus in aerobic biosystems was to degrade HPAM, and in anoxic biosystems was to synthesize PHA.

Soil oil pollution is a major environmental issue, especially in oil-producing nations, as it threatens the health of plants, animals, and humans. While bioremediation has been extensively utilized as a cost-effective method for restoring oil-contaminated soil, its environmental impact has garnered relatively little attention. Researchers often concentrate on reducing pollutant concentrations below permissible limits to restore soil quality.

Surface water chemistry of the River Ganga at Varanasi was analyzed at 10 locations over 3 years (2019-2021) across pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons. The study aimed to assess water parameters using principal component analysis (PCA), calculate the water quality index (WQI), determine processes governing water chemistry, evaluate irrigation suitability, and estimate non-carcinogenic health risks. The physical parameters measured included pH (8.

Several mechanisms were postulated to reduce drilling problems, improve hole cleaning characteristics, and keep the bit in good condition for the second usage. This study was conducted on Majnoon Field in southeastern Iraq to optimize the bit and drilling parameters. The results indicated that the 16" SFD75D bit proved the preferred bit for both vertical and deviated wells due to its directional capabilities.

In order to solve the problem of logging calibration without a free pipe in the process of acoustic variable density logging and the subjective problem of the free pipe calibration method, this paper studies an attenuation rate calibration method based on acoustic variable density logging. Using the developed acoustic wave probe response relationship device and the acoustic wave probe calibration device, the response consistency of the receiving probe of the acoustic wave instrument and the frequency of the transmitting probe can be calibrated in the laboratory, and the response consistency and frequency calibration coefficient can be obtained. Through this coefficient, the acoustic wave attenuation rate can be derived.
