Hybrid sedimentary rocks (HSR) represent a significant reservoir type in fine-grained sediments. However, the classification and understanding of HSR reservoirs, including their storage mechanisms and identification of optimal "sweet spots," have been limited due to the lack of clarity regarding the multiple sources of components and their mixing processes. This study focuses on the Lucaogou formation of Jimusaer Sag and aims to highlight the reservoir classification principles, controlling factors, and evolutionary patterns associated with the components of HSR, beginning with examining the microscopic pore structure. The analysis of the microscopic pore structure characteristics reveals the presence of five distinct reservoir types within the HSR. The quality of these reservoirs is governed by various factors, including the composition and support mode of particles, diagenesis, provenance, and sedimentary microfacies. In regions near a provenance with strong hydrodynamic conditions, the HSR predominantly exhibits type I and type II reservoirs, characterized by numerous coarse-grained components and a granular-support mode. As the distance from the provenance increases, transitioning into medium hydrodynamic conditions, the HSR shifts to an interbedded-support mode, primarily developing type III reservoirs. In areas far from the provenance with weak hydrodynamic conditions, HSR reservoir types primarily consist of type IV and type V. Additionally, diagenetic effects such as compaction and calcite cementation further deteriorate intergranular and dissolution pores, consequently diminishing reservoir quality. Notably, during the mixing deposition processes of sand and dolomite, the developmental mode of HSR shifts from type I to type II and type III. Likewise, in the mixing deposition of mud and sand, the HSR transitions from type II to type III and type IV. Similarly, the mixing deposition of dolomite and mud leads to a change in the developmental mode of HSR from type III to type IV and type V. Moreover, this study effectively predicts the occurrence of "sweet spots" using reservoir classification, which reveals their continuous distribution. These findings provide a geological foundation for evaluating "sweet spots" and testing the oil production in HSR reservoirs.
Dengue is an arthropod-borne infectious disease caused by dengue virus (DENV) infection and transmitted byAedesmosquitoes. Approximately 50-100 million people are infected with DENV each year, resulting in a high economic burden on both governments and individuals. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize information regarding the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and serotype distribution and risk factors for global dengue outbreaks occurring from 1990 to 2015. We searched the PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases through December 2016 using the term "dengue outbreak." In total, 3,853 studies were identified, of which 243 studies describing 262 dengue outbreaks met our inclusion criteria. The majority of outbreak-associated dengue cases were reported in the Western Pacific Region, particularly after the year 2010; these cases were primarily identified in China, Singapore and Malaysia. The pooled mean age of dengue-infected individuals was 30.1 years; of the included patients, 54.5% were male, 23.2% had DHF, 62.0% had secondary infections, and 1.3% died. The mean age of dengue patients reported after 2010 was older than that of patients reported before 2010 (34.0 vs. 27.2 years); however, the proportions of patients who had DHF, had secondary infections and died significantly decreased after 2010. Fever, malaise, headache, and asthenia were the most frequently reported clinical symptoms and signs among dengue patients. In addition, among the identified clinical symptoms and signs, positive tourniquet test (OR= 4.86), ascites (OR= 13.91) and shock (OR= 308.09) were identified as the best predictors of dengue infection, DHF and mortality, respectively (bothP< 0.05). The main risk factors for dengue infection, DHF and mortality were living with uncovered water container (OR= 1.65), suffering from hypotension (OR= 6.18) and suffering from diabetes mellitus (OR= 2.53), respectively (allP< 0.05). The serotype distribution varied with time and across WHO regions. Overall, co-infections were reported in 47.7% of the evaluated outbreaks, and the highest pooled mortality rate (2.0%) was identified in DENV-2 dominated outbreaks. Our study emphasizes the necessity of implementing programs focused on targeted prevention, early identification, and effective treatment.
