Rosen Received: 17 May 2016; Accepted: 24 August 2016; Published: 29 August 2016 Abstract: A scientific definition of the type of mountain area and an exploration of the spatial correlation between different types of mountain areas and regional land use at the county level are important for reasonable land resource utilization and regional sustainable development. Here, a geographic information system was used to analyze digital elevation model data and to define the extent of mountainous land and types of mountain areas in Guizhou province. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to study the spatial coupling relation between the type of mountain area and land use degree in Guizhou province at the county level. The results were as follows: (1) Guizhou province has a high proportion of mountainous land, with a ratio of mountainous land to non-mountainous land of 88:11. The county-level administrative units in Guizhou province were exclusively mountainous, consisting of eight semi mountainous counties, nine quasi mountainous counties, 35 apparently mountainous counties, 13 type I completely mountainous counties, and 23 type II completely mountainous counties; (2) The land use degree at the county level in Guizhou province have remarkable spatial differentiation characteristics.

Received 2 September 2020; accepted 21 November 2020 Published online 26 December 2020 Abstract This article aims to provide technical support for the high-efficiency and high-quality horizontal drilling construction in Zhengan shale gas field. Based the analysis of the formation characteristics and drilling conditions in the Zhengan area, the technical issues of horizontal drilling improving in this area are explained, and based on speed-up and efficiency- increasing technologies such as the resigned high-efficiency PDC bit, high-torque&long-life motor, drilling parameter optimization, friction&torque monitoring, friction-reducing and torsion-reducing tools, near-bit geology steering technology, rotary steerable drilling technology and loss control and anti-collapse mud etc., solutions for the issues have been proposed. Through the application of related technologies, it is expected that improvements for the ROP of horizontal wells in the area and the drilling cycle will be made.

Guizhou is a key tourist province in China. In recent years, the number of A-level scenic spots in Guizhou Province has been increasing, and the regional tourist economy has improved rapidly. The spatial distribution evolution characteristics and influencing factors of A-level scenic spots in Guizhou Province from 2005 to 2019 were measured using spatial data analysis methods, trend analysis methods, and geographical detector methods. The results elaborated that the number of A-level scenic spots in all counties of Guizhou Province increased, while in the south it developed slowly. From 2005 to 2019, the spatial distribution in A-level scenic spots were characterized by spatial agglomeration. The spatial distribution equilibrium degree Citation: Qiu, Y.; Yin, J.; Zhang, T.; of scenic spots in nine cities in Guizhou Province was gradually developed to reach the “relatively Du, Y.; Zhang, B.
