Geotechnical consequences of the Newcastle Coal Measures rocks

This paper attempts to relate the lithology and fabric of four main groups of Newcastle Coal Measures rock types to their geotechnical properties and engineering behaviour. The four groups comprise: massive sandstone and conglomerate; claystones and tuffs; mudstone, shale and siltstone; and the coal itself. Although their geological relevance is primarily concerned with underground coal mining, these rocks are exposed at the surface across most of Newcastle and its suburbs, and are thus significant in terms of urban environmental geology. The key mining issues include longwall support design and panel layouts, caving and subsidence mechanisms, soft floors and stiff roofs, water inflows and pillar design. The urban geotechnical issues include landslides and rock falls, shallow abandoned mine workings, reactive and erodible soils, waste disposal and potential sources for geomaterials.     

重庆市沥鼻峡背斜地热地质特征

采用经验总结法和文献研究法，通过对沥鼻峡热储构造上的温泉和地热井勘查资料进行系统研究，发现沥鼻峡背斜具有典型的层状热储结构特征，是目前华蓥山复式背斜钻获地热水水温最低的热储构造，地热水以硫酸钙型水质为主，目前已知地热井和温泉具有水温普遍低于37℃和水量衰减较明显的特征.初步认为钻获地热水温低可能与构造有一定的关系.

Influence of gas production induced volumetric strain on permeability of coal

Summary The gas permeability of a coalbed, unlike that of conventional gas reservoirs, is influenced during gas production not only by the simultaneous changes in effective stress and gas slippage, but also by the volumetric strain of the coal matrix that is associated with gas desorption. A technique for conducting laboratory experiments to separate these effects and estimate their individual contribution is presented in this paper. The results show that for a pressure decrease from 6.2 to 0.7 MPa, the total permeability of the coal sample increased by more than 17 times. A factor of 12 is due to the volumetric strain effect, and a factor of 5 due to the gas slippage effect. Changes in permeability and porosity with gas depletion were also estimated using the measured volumetric strain and the matchstick reservoir model geometry for flow of gas in coalbeds. The resulting variations were compared with results obtained experimentally. Furthermore, the results show that when gas pressure is above 1.7 MPa, the effect of volumetric strain due to matrix shrinkage dominates. As gas pressure falls below 1.7 MPa, both the gas slippage and matrix shrinkage effects play important roles in influencing the permeability. Finally, the change in permeability associated with matrix shrinkage was found to be linearly proportional to the volumetric strain. Since volumetric strain is linearly proportional to the amount of gas desorbed, the change in permeability is a linear function of the amount of desorbing gas.

南水北调西线工程区地质图三维可视化表达及其意义

传统地质图由于采用正射投影的方法表达地质现象,只能表达地质现象在二维欧氏空间的定位,很难表达地质现象的三维空间特征。结合数字高程模型,在地理信息系统的支持下制作的南水北调西线工程区的三维可视化地质图,可更好地判读地质体的空间信息,便于分析地质体的空间展布规律。     

镇泾油田低渗透油藏岩石渗透率应力敏感性研究

对镇泾油田低渗透油藏岩石进行了渗透率应力敏感性实验研究,并对其进行了应力敏感性评价。实验是在一定围压下,通过降低和增加内压的方式完成的,共进行了2个围压下的变内压实验。实验结果和应力敏感性评价结果表明,镇泾油田低渗透油藏不存在渗透率强应力敏感性,在原始地层压力条件下,衰竭式开发对地层的渗透率几乎没有影响,注水开发对地层的渗透率会有一定程度的改善。同时,通过对有效应力定律方程的研究,得出渗透率有效应力系数为常数且值很小,这从机理上解释了镇泾油田低渗透油藏岩石的渗透率对应力不敏感的原因。
