南岭科学钻探NLSD-1孔防斜及纠斜技术

南岭科学钻探NLSD-1孔位于赣南地区、武夷北东向构造带和南岭东西向构造带的交汇位置,钻遇岩层层理、板理、构造裂隙及劈理发育,钻孔内软硬互层、破碎带频繁出现,多处岩浆岩侵入,地质因素造成钻孔自然弯曲严重。为保证钻孔垂直度,采用了绳索取心式液动锤钻进、塔式绳索取心钻具钻进,以预防钻孔偏斜。遇强促斜地层,钻孔防斜技术工艺无法控制孔斜时,则采用定向钻进技术进行钻孔纠斜及侧钻,以达到人工干预钻孔轨迹的目的。经分析和研究,所采用的钻孔防斜和纠斜技术在深孔复杂、强促斜地层具有显著的防斜保直效果。     

利用趋势化随机参数场的地下水流数值模拟优化方法

水文地质参数场的刻画是建立地下水流数值模拟模型的关键问题和难点问题。通常来讲,参数场合理性程度越高,模型拟合精度越高。本次研究将随机方法和参数空间分布表达进行结合,提出了趋势化随机参数场的构建方法。以渗透系数为研究对象,首先利用MCMC采样和样本数据特征确定水文地质参数的基本数据结构,进而根据样本空间分布特征对其进行趋势化处理,最终形成趋势化的渗透系数场。通过算例分析,利用趋势化处理后的渗透系数场能够大幅提高模拟精度,相比传统赋均值方法其误差可降至原来的1/3。在北京大兴跌隆起地区进行的实例应用说明,趋势化渗透系数场对提升岩性粒径较大(中砂以上)地区模拟精度效果显著,案例中粗砂区域渗透系数经趋势化处理后平均拟合误差由2.76 m下降至0.64 m;而对岩性以细砂及以下粒径为主的区域模拟精度提升并不明显。总体来说,该方法可为地下水流数值模型的优化提供借鉴,提升模型拟合精度,从而更加合理地刻画地下水流系统。

天然裂缝复杂程度对致密储层破裂特征的影响

地层内部总存在孔隙、裂隙、层理、裂缝、断层等结构特征从而体现为地层地质非均质性,并在人工注采过程中发生不同尺度的破裂而体现为跨尺度的裂缝时空延展特征和致裂机理。以致密油为代表的非常规油气藏开采开发在我国油气产能中占比越来越大,并往往利用水力压裂储层改造技术产生人工裂缝以增强油气渗流而实现其规模经济开发;同时,这类低渗透油气藏亦是CO₂压裂、注入和封存的重要对象。文章基于真三轴大型物理模型水力压裂实验和工程尺度下水力压裂微地震监测结果,通过不同尺度裂缝/裂隙活动所致声发射和微地震事件的时空展布研究岩体多尺度裂缝的破裂特征。研究表明,无论是相对稳定的真三轴水力压裂,还是实际地质工程尺度下的水力压裂微,岩石原生裂缝、裂隙分布趋势和方位对裂缝扩展具有主控作用。

Relationships between hydraulic parameters in a small stream under varying flow and seasonal conditions

Twenty conservative tracer injections were carried out in the same reach of a small woodland stream in order to determine how variation in discharge and leaf accumulation affect stream hydraulic parameters. The injections were made at various discharge rates ranging from 2·6 to 40 l/s. Five of the injections were made during late autumn, when there were large accumulations of leaves in the stream. Estimates of hydraulic parameters were made by fitting a transient storage solute transport model to conservative tracer concentration profiles. Velocity increased almost linearly with increasing discharge, indicating a decline in the Darcy friction factor. Dispersion also increased with increasing discharge, especially for the lower flow injections. The relative size of the storage zone was small (∽0·1). There was no definable relationship between discharge and the relative storage zone size, but the rates of exchange between the storage zone and the main channel increased markedly with increasing discharge. The presence of large accumulations of leaves had a clear effect on the hydraulic characteristics of the stream, producing much higher friction factors, larger storage zone sizes and lower velocity than would have been predicted by discharge alone.

A pore-scale numerical model for flow through porous media

A pore-scale numerical model based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is described for modelling fluid flow phenomena in porous media. Originally developed for astrophysics applications, SPH is extended to model incompressible flows of low Reynolds number as encountered in groundwater flow systems. In this paper, an overview of SPH is provided and the required modifications for modelling flow through porous media are described, including treatment of viscosity, equation of state, and no-slip boundary conditions. The performance of the model is demonstrated for two-dimensional flow through idealized porous media composed of spatially periodic square and hexagonal arrays of cylinders. The results are in close agreement with solutions obtained using the finite element method and published solutions in the literature. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effects of experimental uncertainty on the calculation of hillslope flow paths

Measurement uncertainty is a key hindrance to the quantification of water fluxes at all scales of investigation. Predictions of soil‐water flux rely on accurate or representative measurements of hydraulic gradients and field‐state hydraulic conductivity. We quantified the potential magnitude of errors associated with the parameters and variables used directly and indirectly within the Darcy – Buckingham soil‐water‐flux equation. These potential errors were applied to a field hydrometric data set collected from a forested hillslope in central Singapore, and their effect on flow pathway predictions was assessed. Potential errors in the hydraulic gradient calculations were small, approximately one order of magnitude less than the absolute magnitude of the hydraulic gradients. However, errors associated with field‐state hydraulic conductivity derivation were very large. Borehole (Guelph permeameter) and core‐based (Talsma ring permeameter) techniques were used to measure field‐saturated hydraulic conductivity. Measurements using these two approaches differed by up to 3\9 orders of magnitude, with the difference becoming increasingly marked within the B horizon. The sensitivity of the shape of the predicted unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curve to ±5% moisture content error on the moisture release curve was also assessed. Applied moisture release curve error resulted in hydraulic conductivity predictions of less than ±0\2 orders of magnitude deviation from the apparent conductivity. The flow pathways derived from the borehole saturated hydraulic conductivity approach suggested a dominant near‐surface flow pathway, whereas pathways calculated from the core‐based measurements indicated vertical percolation to depth. Direct tracer evidence supported the latter flow pathway, although tracer velocities were approximately two orders of magnitude smaller than the Darcy predictions. We conclude that saturated hydraulic conductivity is the critical hillslope hydrological parameter, and there is an urgent need to address the issues regarding its measurement further.
