Thermo-hydro-mechanical modeling of carbon dioxide injection for enhanced gas-recovery (CO2-EGR): a benchmarking study for code comparison

The objective of this paper was to investigate the THM-coupled responses of the storage formation and caprock, induced by gas production, CO₂-EGR (enhanced gas recovery), and CO₂-storage. A generic 3D planer model (20,000?×?3,000?×?100?m, consisting of 1,200?m overburden, 100?m caprock, 200?m gas reservoir, and 1,500?m base rock) is adopted for the simulation process using the integrated code TOUGH2/EOS7C-FLAC3D and the multi-purpose simulator OpenGeoSys. Both simulators agree that the CO₂-EGR phase under a balanced injection rate (31,500?tons/year) will cause almost no change in the reservoir pressure. The gas recovery rate increases 1.4?% in the 5-year CO₂-EGR phase, and a better EGR effect could be achieved by increasing the distance between injection and production wells (e.g., 5.83?% for 5?km distance, instead of 1.2?km in this study). Under the considered conditions there is no evidence of plastic deformation and both reservoir and caprock behave elastically at all operation stages. The stress path could be predicted analytically and the results show that the isotropic and extensional stress regime will switch to the compressional stress regime, when the pore pressure rises to a specific level. Both simulators agree regarding modification of the reservoir stress state. With further CO₂-injection tension failure in reservoir could occur, but shear failure will never happen under these conditions. Using TOUGH-FLAC, a scenario case is also analyzed with the assumption that the reservoir is naturally fractured. The specific analysis shows that the maximal storage pressure is 13.6?MPa which is determined by the penetration criterion of the caprock.

采用高通量454焦磷酸测序方法对宁波沿海2个重点排污口、8个一般排污口的20个站位水样进行分析, 得到2011年3月、5月、8月、10月份各排污口假单胞菌属的分布情况。结果表明, 宁波沿海陆源排污口中存在较多的假单胞菌属。在检出的假单胞菌属中, 维罗纳假单胞菌(Pseudomonas veronii)和莓实假单胞菌(Pseudomonas fragi)的含量相对较多, 分别占56.72%、13.904%; 排污口中假单胞菌属的数量存在季节性差异, 3月份、5月份假单胞菌的数量相对较多, 8月份和10月份较少, 推测与季节性温度变化有关; 假单胞菌属的含量与排污口的主要污染物有关, 氨氮含量较高的排污口假单胞菌属的含量更高。     

南极中山与昭和站重力海潮负荷效应及背景噪声研究

利用南极中山站LCR-ET21重力仪器与昭和站GWR058仪器获得的重力潮汐观测资料,采用最新的三个全球海潮模型(Dtu10,Eot11A和HAM11A)研究了南极地区的海潮负荷效应和背景噪声.结果表明,由三个海潮模型计算的重力负荷均值改正后,中山站O_1和M_2振幅观测残差分别由13.83%和20.55%下降到5.32%和5.95%,昭和站O_1和M_2振幅观测残差分别由10.84%和21.52%下降到1.91%和3.40%,说明海潮负荷改正的有效性.利用加汉宁窗的FFT变换,获得了地震频段的地震噪声等级(SNM),其值分别为1.574(中山站)和1.289(昭和站).而在潮汐频段,中山站的背景噪声比昭和站高一个数量级,主要由不同观测仪器和台站局部环境所致.本文结果可为进一步利用南极重力资料研究局部环境和全球动力学问题提供有效参考.     

利用CAP法研究重庆荣昌2014年2月23日ML3.8地震震源机制

利用CAP(cut-and-paste）法反演2014年2月23日重庆荣昌ML3.8地震震源机制,得到震级MW为3.04,节面Ⅰ走向46°、倾角44°、滑动角74°,节面Ⅱ走向247°、倾角48°、滑动角104°,P轴方位147.25°、仰角-2.09°,T轴方位46°、仰角-78.76°,表明该地震是带走滑分量的逆冲型地震。CAP测定的这次ML3.8震源深度为3km,在盖层内,震源机制解中节面Ⅱ走向、倾角与震中附近的一条深度为1700m走向为SW230°倾向NW,倾角约45°的“腹底”逆断层基本一致。震中位于荣昌天然气田,附近有几口废水回注深井,曾发生大量的注水诱发地震。本次地震亦有可能是在区域主应力场的作用下,注水后岩石的孔隙发生变化触发了盖层内“腹底”断层活动的结果。

不同扰动方式对沙砾质戈壁地表风蚀量的影响

通过野外风洞实验,测定了不同破坏方式、破坏面积和风速下的沙砾质戈壁风蚀量。结果表明：不同破坏方式引起的风蚀量不同,扰动强度越大造成的风蚀量越多;相同扰动方式下连续破坏造成的风蚀量稍高于间隔破坏。风蚀总量随破坏面积的增大而增加,且服从指数函数。风速为8～10 m·s^-1时,扰动的戈壁地表以轻微侵蚀为主;10～12 m·s^-1 是风蚀量增幅最大阶段;当风速大于 12 m·s^-1时,以强烈风蚀为主。风沙流中沙物质的主体是细沙和极细沙,在20 cm高度范围内,自风沙流下层至上层细沙含量比较稳定,极细沙含量逐渐降低,中沙含量逐渐上升。     

利用海气耦合模式模拟印度尼西亚贯穿流

利用中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室(LASG)发展的全球耦合气候系统模式(FGCM-1.0)100年数值模拟结果, 分析了模式模拟的印度尼西亚贯穿流(ITF)的平均态、季节变化和年际变化, 并且利用这些资料对ITF季节变化和年际变化的成因做了初步分析.模式模拟的ITF平均态、季节变化和年际变化同已有的观测结果相比是合理的, 经作者分析认为ITF的季节变化主要是因为印度尼西亚海域地处亚澳季风区, 海流对于季风的响应使得ITF发生季节变化; ITF的年际变化主要是因为热带环流的年际变化及其所导致的洋流调整造成的, 太平洋和印度洋都有影响.     

Mapping Potential Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems for Sustainable Management

Ecosystems which rely on either the surface expression or subsurface presence of groundwater are known as groundwater‐dependent ecosystems (GDEs). A comprehensive inventory of GDE locations at an appropriate management scale is a necessary first‐step for sustainable management of supporting aquifers; however, this information is unavailable for most areas of concern. To address this gap, this study created a two‐step algorithm which analyzed existing geospatial and remote sensing data to identify potential GDEs at both state/province and aquifer/basin scales. At the state/province scale, a geospatial information system (GIS) database was constructed for Texas, including climate, topography, hydrology, and ecology data. From these data, a GDE index was calculated, which combined vegetative and hydrological indicators. The results indicated that central Texas, particularly the Edwards Aquifer region, had highest potential to host GDEs. Next, an aquifer/basin scale remote sensing‐based algorithm was created to provide more detailed maps of GDEs in the Edwards Aquifer region. This algorithm used Landsat ETM+ and MODIS images to track the changes of NDVI for each vegetation pixel. The NDVI dynamics were used to identify the vegetation with high potential to use groundwater—such plants remain high NDVI during extended dry periods and also exhibit low seasonal and inter‐annual NDVI changes between dry and wet seasons/years. The results indicated that 8% of natural vegetation was very likely using groundwater. Of the potential GDEs identified, 75% were located on shallow soil averaging 45 cm in depth. The dominant GDE species were live oak, ashe juniper, and mesquite.
