Comparison of P‐wave attenuation models of wave‐induced flow

Wave‐induced oscillatory fluid flow in the vicinity of inclusions embedded in porous rocks is one of the main causes for P‐wave dispersion and attenuation at seismic frequencies. Hence, the P‐wave velocity depends on wave frequency, porosity, saturation, and other rock parameters. Several analytical models quantify this wave‐induced flow attenuation and result in characteristic velocity–saturation relations. Here, we compare some of these models by analyzing their low‐ and high‐frequency asymptotic behaviours and by applying them to measured velocity–saturation relations. Specifically, the Biot–Rayleigh model considering spherical inclusions embedded in an isotropic rock matrix is compared with White's and Johnson's models of patchy saturation. The modeling of laboratory data for tight sandstone and limestone indicates that, by selecting appropriate inclusion size, the Biot‐Rayleigh predictions are close to the measured values, particularly for intermediate and high water saturations.

鲁甸6.5级地震地下流体典型异常与前兆机理分析

基于川滇地区前兆台网资料,结合异常现场核实工作结果,对鲁甸6.5级地震前的地下流体异常现象进行了总结。遵循地震分析预报的基本思路,按照长期、中期、短期趋势异常、临震异常和宏观异常阐述了鲁甸6.5级地震前地下流体典型异常现象。结果表明,长期和中期趋势背景异常主要出现在距震中300~500km范围,短期趋势和临震及宏观异常集中于震中区100km范围内。这种流体异常特征反映了在较高密度的观测点区域,可以观测到流体活动加剧的前兆现象,有利于判定地震危险区和短期阶段跟踪分析。区域应力加载作用可能引起的断裂带裂隙的开启与闭合,导致温泉和井水温、深部气体与承压井水位的持续变化;水岩反应加剧和地下水混合作用增强,使地下水离子组分浓度发生变化,甚至导致显著宏观异常。在一定密度的前兆观测地区,能够获取用于判定地震危险性的前兆信息。

煤层气井流体原位实时监测仪

煤层气生产过程中,需要随时了解和掌握煤层气井的产水、产气、液面高度等各项参数,以便根据生产阶段的需要及时调整生产参数,使煤层气井的生产处于最佳状态。目前国内煤层气抽采过程中仅能单独测量压力、温度、液位等参数,并不能检测每个层位的产气产水量,因此为了达到长期同时监测不同层位煤层的目的,设计了煤层气井流体原位实时监测仪。该监测仪不仅能测量温度、压力等参数,还可结合地面测得的气、水流量,分别得出不同层位煤层的产气产水量,为煤层气开采方法的确定提供科学依据,有利于提高煤层气抽采率。

Structure of residual oil as a function of wettability using pore-network modelling

In the water flooding of mixed-wet porous media, oil may drain down to relatively low residual oil saturations (S_or). Various studies have indicated that such low saturations can only be reached when oil layers in pore corners are included in the pore-scale modelling. These processes within a macroscopic porous medium can be modelled at the pore-scale by incorporating the fundamental physics of capillary dominated displacement within idealised pore network models. Recently, the authors have developed thermodynamic criteria for oil layer existence in pores with non-uniform wettability which takes as input geometrically and topologically representative networks, to calculate realistic S_or values for mixed-wet and oil-wet sandstones [16, 21]. This previous work is developed in this paper to include (i) the visualisation of the 3D structure of this residual oil, and (ii) a statistical analysis of this “residual/remaining” oil. Both the visualisation and the statistical analysis are done under a wide range of wettability conditions, which is reported for the first time in this paper.The structure of residual oil for strongly water wet systems is well known (where residual = remaining oil) and our model agrees with this but this structure changes radically for mixed wet systems (where residual ≠ remaining) and this has not yet been visualised experimentally. We find that for more water-wet systems high final residual oil saturations are reached at relatively small amounts of water injected and this oil is present in the pores as bulk oil. On the other hand, for more oil-wet systems we find a slow decrease of the amount of remaining oil with increasing amounts of injected water. During the process, the remaining connectivity of the oil phase is increasingly provided by oil layers only, hence the slow drainage. The final residual oil saturation, only reached in the theoretical limit of an infinite amount of injected water, is almost entirely contained in large number of (relatively low volume) oil layers, which are present in pores of most radius sizes.     

Oblique wave scattering by undulating porous bottom in a two-layer fluid: Fourier transform approach

The problem involving scattering of oblique waves by small undulation on the porous ocean bed in a two-layer fluid is investigated within the framework of linearised theory of water waves where the upper layer is free to the atmosphere. In such a two-layer fluid, there exist waves with two different wave numbers (modes): wave with lower wave number propagates along the free surface whilst that with higher wave number propagates along the interface. When an oblique incident wave of a particular mode encounters the undulating bottom, it gets reflected and transmitted into waves of both modes so that some of the wave energy transferred from one mode to another mode. Perturbation analysis in conjunction with Fourier transform technique is used to derive the first-order corrections of velocity potentials, reflection and transmission coefficients at both modes due to oblique incident waves of both modes. One special type of undulating bottom topography is considered as an example to evaluate the related coefficients in detail. These coefficients are shown in graphical forms to demonstrate the transformation of water wave energy between the two modes. Comparisons between the present results with those in the literature are made for particular cases and the agreements are found to be satisfactory. In addition, energy identity, an important relation in the study of water wave theory, is derived with the help of the Green’s integral theorem.
