Probabilistic Analysis of Fracture Reactivation Associated with Deep Underground CO2 Injection

In the context of carbon capture and storage, deep underground injection of CO₂ induces the geomechanical changes within and around the injection zone and their impact on CO₂ storage security should be evaluated. In this study, we conduct coupled multiphase fluid flow and geomechanical modeling to investigate such geomechanical changes, focusing on probabilistic analysis of injection-induced fracture reactivation (such as shear slip) that could lead to enhanced permeability and CO₂ migration across otherwise low-permeability caprock formations. Fracture reactivation in terms of shear slip was analyzed by implicitly considering the fracture orientations generated using the Latin hypercube sampling method, in one case using published fracture statistics from a CO₂ storage site. The analysis was conducted by a coupled multiphase fluid flow and geomechanical simulation to first calculate the three-dimensional stress evolution during a hypothetical CO₂ injection operation and then evaluate the probability of shear slip considering the statistical fracture distribution and a Coulomb failure analysis. We evaluate the probability of shear slip at different points within the injection zone and in the caprock just above the injection zone and relate this to the potential for opening of new flow paths through the caprock. Our analysis showed that a reverse faulting stress field would be most favorable for avoiding fracture shear reactivation, but site-specific analyses will be required because of strong dependency of the local stress field and fracture orientations.     

北部湾东部沉积物结构和碳酸盐含量变化对末次海侵和环流作用的响应

为了揭示末次冰消期以来北部湾东部沉积环境的整体变化,深入认识环流对北部湾沉积的控制作用,对位于北部湾东部的15只柱样进行了粒度、碳酸盐含量和C/N分析,并测定了其中11只柱样的AMS14 C年代.结果表明,在末次冰消期随海平面上升,北部湾沉积环境由陆向海转变,沉积物碳酸盐含量总体递增,而C/N值则递减,其间伴随发生于全新世早期的碳酸盐低值事件,在北部湾深水区的柱样中也有记录.全新世中期海平面基本稳定以后,稳定的C/N数值表示有机质来源趋于稳定,而碳酸盐含量受钙质生物生产力不同(南高北低)和陆源输入的区域性差异影响出现不同变化.与C/N分析结合,碳酸盐含量曲线可用于地层划分与对比.北部湾环流可能形成于7ka BP左右,影响了沉积物的输运与沉积.全新世中晚期沉积厚度存在区域差异,海南岛西侧大于2.0m,湾顶多介于0.8~2.0m,而涠洲岛西南海域厚度相对最小,可能与湾北物质难以向南输运,而湾南物质主要在琼州海峡西口外卸载有关.     

陕西省铧厂沟金矿床主矿带黄铁矿热电性特征及其地质意义

陕西省铧厂沟金矿是一个主要赋存于海底基性火山喷流细碧岩中的金矿床。文中系统研究了该矿床主矿带黄铁矿的热电性特征。主矿带成矿温度主要集中在130~330 ℃,属中-低温矿床;黄铁矿导电类型从早期到晚期由N 型向P 型转变;P型黄铁矿出现频率从浅部到深部呈减小趋势;金品位高值区与P型黄铁矿的高值区及热电系数离散度的低值区相对应;主矿带黄铁矿热电导型及热电性参数特征反映出主矿带开采区位于矿体中部偏下,向深处仍有一定规模的延伸。综合分析认为,0至2勘探线深部以及22~26勘探线深部发现新的富矿段的可能性较大。     

Synchronous Transformations of Mineral and Organic Constituents of Sedimentary Rocks in Geological Structure with an Initial Extension and Subsequent Compression Tectonic Regime

Sedimentary rocks of the section in the Red River fold zone of northern Viet Nam are considered. It is shown that secondary mineral parageneses formed in two stages. The first stage (35–17 Ma ago) corresponded to the period of structure extension and sediment subsidence to a depth of about 6 km. This period and subsequent 10 Ma were marked by the formation of a usual dia- and catagenetic zoning of metasedimentary rocks. The second stage (5–7 Ma ago) corresponded to processes of compression that were responsible for the deformation of rocks into gentle folds and 1.5 to 2.2 times contraction of the section thickness in different places. The sequential–mineralogical zoning was disturbed at this stage. Smectites and mixed-layer minerals were replaced by chlorites and hydromicas. Organic material also responded to compression simultaneously with inorganic components. The bituminous component was released from humic matter and rocks became enriched in hydrocarbons.     

Finite Element Solvers for Biot’s Poroelasticity Equations in Porous Media

We study and compare five different combinations of finite element spaces for approximating the coupled flow and solid deformation system, so-called Biot’s equations. The permeability and porosity fields are heterogeneous and depend on solid displacement and fluid pressure. We provide detailed comparisons among the continuous Galerkin, discontinuous Galerkin, enriched Galerkin, and two types of mixed finite element methods. Several advantages and disadvantages for each of the above techniques are investigated by comparing local mass conservation properties, the accuracy of the flux approximation, number of degrees of freedom (DOF), and wall and CPU times. Three-field formulation methods with fluid velocity as an additional primary variable generally require a larger number of DOF, longer wall and CPU times, and a greater number of iterations in the linear solver in order to converge. The two-field formulation, a combination of continuous and enriched Galerkin function space, requires the fewest DOF among the methods that conserve local mass. Moreover, our results illustrate that three out of the five methods conserve local mass and produce similar flux approximations when conductivity alteration is included. These comparisons of the key performance indicators of different combinations of finite element methods can be utilized to choose the preferred method based on the required accuracy and the available computational resources.
