Study on Effects of Low Viscosity Fluid Pre-injection on Hydraulic Fracture Complexity in Tight Heterogeneous Glutenite Reservoirs

Tight heterogeneous glutenite reservoir is typically not easy to form complex hydraulic fracture (HF) due to its poor physical properties, poor matrix seepage capacity, and small limit discharge radius and undeveloped natural fracture system. To improve the HF complexity and the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV), a novel stimulation technology called CO₂ miscible fracturing has been introduced and its fracturing mechanism has been studied. The CO₂ miscible fracturing modifies the in situ stress field by injecting low viscosity fluid to increase the HF complexity and SRV. Therefore, a series of numerical simulations based on a hydro-mechanical-damage model were carried out to study the effects of low viscosity fluid pre-injection on pore pressure, stress field, and fracturing effect in tight heterogeneous glutenite reservoirs. The results indicate that the low viscosity fluid injection can effectively increase the pore pressure around the wellbore and reduce the effective stress of the glutenite. The FCI and SRV increase with the increase of the pre-injection amount of the low viscosity fluid. The HF complexity and SRV can be improved by pre-injecting low viscosity fluid to transform the in situ stress field. The field application of this technology in a well of Shengli Oilfield showed that low-viscosity fluid pre-injection can effectively increase the width of the fractured zone, improve the SRV, and optimize the fracturing effect.

     

鄂西宜昌地区页岩气勘探发现对MVT铅锌矿成矿的指示意义

油气成藏和有机质参与金属成矿的内在联系是近年来国内外地学界关注的热点问题.根据流体包裹体岩相学观察和激光拉曼光谱分析,在鄂西宜昌地区震旦系陡山沱组和下寒武统牛蹄塘组页岩储层及震旦系灯影组MVT（Mississippi Valley type）铅锌矿床中发现了高密度甲烷包裹体,并利用甲烷包裹体的甲烷拉曼散射峰v₁计算了甲烷包裹体的密度;同时采用Rb-Sr、Sm-Nd同位素定年确定了MVT铅锌矿成矿年代.鄂阳页1井陡山沱组页岩石英脉和何家坪MVT铅锌矿方解石样品中甲烷包裹体密度分别为0.237~0.278 g/cm3和0.213~0.271 g/cm3,属于高密度甲烷包裹体.何家坪铅锌矿共生矿物闪锌矿和方铅矿的Rb-Sr等时线年龄为189.1±1.8 Ma,方解石的Sm-Nd等时线年龄为189.9±2.0 Ma,指示铅锌矿形成于燕山早期的构造挤压运动;共生矿物的初始87Sr/86Sr值（0.711 92）和方解石的初始87Sr/86Sr值（0.712 03~0.712 27）指示何家坪铅锌矿成矿流体的Sr同位素主要来源于页岩层.何家坪铅锌矿中捕获的以流体包裹体形式存在的高密度甲烷流体最有可能来源于陡山沱组页岩和/或牛蹄塘组页岩内高密度超压甲烷流体.页岩气层和MVT铅锌矿中高密度甲烷包裹体的发现及MVT铅锌矿成矿时间的确定为探讨有机质参与MVT铅锌矿成矿提供了新证据.      

The spatio‐temporal variability of annual precipitation and its local impact factors during 1724–2010 in Beijing,China

Rapid population growth and increased economic activity impose an urgent challenge on the sustainability of water resources in Beijing. Understanding the spatial and temporal variability of precipitation is of the upmost importance in order to sustain the region's water resources. Two time series, one long term (1724–2010) from a single meteorological station and a shorter time series (1980–2010) from 20 different meteorological stations within the Beijing area, were analysed using Linear Regression, Moving Average, Mann–Kendall, Rescaled Range and Spatial Interpolation methods. Results from both the long‐ and short‐term meteorological data show a mean annual precipitation rate of 600 mm and 540 mm respectively. Annual precipitation rates have decreased during the 21st century by an estimated 100 mm or 16% in comparison to the 1990s. The 1980–2010 data show an increase in precipitation during the early 1990s followed by a sharp decrease during the subsequent years. The change of annual precipitation with time is more random and diverse in comparison to space. The main local impact factors (terrain, urbanization and elevation) and how they work on the local precipitation especially the spatial diversity are identified qualitatively. Generally speaking, (1) the annual precipitation of the plain area is more than that of the mountainous area (terrain effect), (2) the annual precipitation of the urban area in the plain area is obviously more than that of the surrounding suburb area (urbanization effect) and (3) the annual precipitation of the lower location is approximately more than that of the higher location (elevation effect).

Study on anisotropy of Longmaxi shale using hydraulic fracturing experiment

Hydraulic fracturing reservoir reconstruction technology is crucial in the development of shale gas exploitation techniques.Large quantities of high-pressure fluids injected into shale reservoirs significantly alter compressional(P)and shear(S)wave velocities,rock mechanical parameters,and anisotropic characteristics.In this study,differentiated hydraulic fracturing petrophysical experiments were carried out on Longmaxi Formation shale under pseudo-triaxial stress loading conditions.The effects of stress loading methods,and water-rock physical and chemical reactions on P-and S-wave velocities and rock mechanical parameters were compared.The experimental results showed that isotropic stress loading may increase the P-and Swave velocities and Young’s modulus of dry shale kldnsample.Furthermore,it may lead to a weakening of the corresponding anisotropy.In contrast,differential stress loading was able to improve the anisotropy of Young’s modulus and accelerate the decrease in the compressive strength of shale in the vertical bedding direction.The water-rock physical and chemical reactions prompted by hydraulic fracturing was found to"soften"shale samples and reduce Young’s modulus.The influence of this"soften"effect on the compressional and shear wave velocities of shale was negligible,whilst there was a significant decrease in the anisotropy characteristics of Thomsen parameters,Young’s modulus,and Poisson’s ratio.The negative linear relationship between the Poisson’s ratios of the shale samples was also observed to lose sensitivity to stress loading,as a result of the"soften"effect of fracturing fluid on shale.The results of this study provide a reliable reference point and data support for future research on the mechanical properties of Longmaxi shale rocks.

Metadata Harvesting and Registration in a Geospatial Sensor Web Registry

A Sensor Web registry acts as a broker in a service‐oriented environment to publish and discover Sensor Web resources (e.g. sensors, sensor services, observations, and alerts). The Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) defines a standard interface and protocol for publishing and discovering geospatial resources. This article adopts the CSW for the development of a Sensor Web registry. Metadata for Sensor Web resources are registered into the catalogue information model – the ebXML Registry Information Model (ebRIM). In the Sensor Web environment, sensor observations can be available in real‐time or near‐real‐time, and thus metadata registered in CSW need to be updated frequently. This article proposes an incremental harvesting approach, which can harvest the updated metadata efficiently. A prototypical implementation is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the approach.

Boron cosmochemistry. Part I: Boron in meteorites

Abstract Thirty-six fragments of meteorite falls, never touched by water or other possible sources of B contamination, were analyzed for B by prompt gamma-ray neutron activation analysis at McMaster University and at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. Boron concentrations are close to the sensitivity limit in both laboratories. Results between the two laboratories agree well but with slight systematic differences attributable to blank and background correction factors. The mean B concentrations in different meteorites are similar, from 0.5 to 1.1 ppm. The ranges in different CC, OC and ACH classes overlap, mostly from 0.4 to 1.4 ppm, which is similar to previous measurements on falls. The H, L and LL meteorites overlap in B content with Antarctic chondrites. The solar system abundance, taken as the mean B content of the matrix in all CC, was calculated from seven samples and is 0.69 ± 0.09 ppm. When normalized, this abundance is 16.9 ± 2.2 (atoms/10⁶Si). Normalized B and S concentrations show a linear relationship in the CC; the average OC lies on the same line, but individual OCs are dispersed.
