特低渗透砂岩储层可动流体变化特征与差异性成因——以鄂尔多斯盆地延长组为例

特低渗透砂岩储层微观孔隙结构复杂,流体赋存状态不同于常规储层,利用核磁共振技术对鄂尔多斯盆地延长组3个层位样品的可动流体变化特征与差异性成因进行了分析。结果表明,样品T2谱分布主要表现出4种形态、T2截止值中等—偏高、可动流体参数变化幅度较大;沉积和成岩作用差异导致微观特征参数不同,造成各层位可动流体参数复杂变化;渗透率较小时,可动流体参数变化幅度大,当渗透率增大到一定程度后,可动流体参数数据点收敛,变化幅度减小;储层物性、孔隙(尤其是次生孔隙)发育连通程度、微裂缝的发育程度、粘土矿物的存在形式及其对孔隙的充填程度等微观孔隙结构特征变化是可动流体参数差异性产生的主要原因。可动流体参数本身就是储层诸多微观特征参数的综合反映,应在储层评价中予以考虑。

一种测定非饱和土-水力学参数的方法

详细介绍了非饱和土-水力学参数联合测试系统,该系统分别利用轴平移技术和达西定律测定非饱和土土-水特征曲线和水相渗透系数。通过试验结果对比可以发现,由联合测试系统确定土-水特征曲线与压力板仪溢出水校正称量法确定的土-水特征曲线接近,但由联合测试系统确定的试样残余含水率比使用压力板仪溢出水校正称量法确定的试样含水率要小;由联合测试系统确定的渗透函数,当饱和度较大时,实测值与模型预测值较为接近;当饱和度较小时,实测值与模型预测值相差较大。

以渗透性地层的测井声波传播理论为基础,研究斯通利波反演地层渗透率方法。斯通利波计算渗透率的关键在于如何将其受渗透率的影响因素与其它影响因素分离开来。已采用的计算方法有相速度(或慢度)方法、衰减幅度方法;作者使用的方法是结合相位滞后和衰减变化的测量来计算渗透率。求取渗透率过程有波场分离、正演模拟和渗透率的反演计算3个主要步骤。     

基阶和高阶瑞雷波频散曲线反演对比分析

通过瑞雷波频散曲线反演,可以建立近地表横波速度模型。瑞雷波频散曲线具有多个模态,一般情况下,基阶模态是具有最大能量的模态。目前对瑞雷波频散曲线的反演大多数是基于基阶模态,对于高阶模态的反演比较少。通过对基阶和高阶瑞雷波频散曲线反演对比分析,认为高阶模态和基阶模态频散曲线反演有比较好的一致性趋势,相对而言高阶模态频散曲线反演的横波速度比基阶要高;高阶和基阶模态能量加权反演,不仅保留了频散曲线基阶模态能量强,勘探深度深的特点,而且对浅层低速层也具有更好的响应,可有效提高反演的精度。

Fast planar slides. A closed‐form thermo‐hydro‐mechanical solution

Heat‐induced excess pore pressures on the failure surface of a planar slide have been calculated by solving the mass and heat balance equations on the shear band. The set of differential equations and the equation of motion of the slide have been solved in closed form for the case of incompressible fluid and incompressible soil skeleton. The solution describes the accelerated motion of the slide. It has been compared with the numerical solution when soil and water stiffness terms are not disregarded. A case study, based on a well‐known translational slide (Cortes slide) has been solved. Numerical and analytical solutions are compared. Results of a sensitivity analysis indicate that the permeability of the shear band is the key parameter to control the onset of a rapid motion. For a band permeability above a threshold value, in the vicinity of 10^?15m² (10^?8m/s), fast accelerated motions are very unlikely. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A study on one‐dimensional consolidation of layered structured soils

The governing equations for one‐dimensional consolidation of layered structured soils under time‐dependent loading are established. Using simplified k‐σ′ and m_v‐σ′ models, n‐layered structured soils are transformed into (n + 1) or (n + 2)‐layered soils in which the thickness of upper and lower layers are gradually changing. The approximate solutions for the governing equations are then obtained under two types of boundary conditions, and the computer program is developed. Based on the solutions and computer program, the consolidation behavior of layered structured soils with soft interlayer is studied. It is shown that the permeability and compressibility of the soft interlayer have the greatest influences on the rate of settlement and rate of the dissipation of excess pore water pressure.

The sedimentation of salmonid spawning gravels in the Hampshire Avon catchment,UK: implications for the dissolved oxygen content of intragravel water and embryo survival

The accumulation of sediment within salmonid redd gravels can have a detrimental impact on the development of salmonid embryos; therefore, redd sedimentation represents a potential limiting factor for salmonid reproduction. The links between redd sedimentation, the dissolved oxygen content of intragravel water and salmonid embryo survival within the upper and middle parts of the Hampshire Avon catchment in southern England are explored. Measurements of surface and intragravel water quality and redd properties were undertaken for artificial redds constructed at known spawning sites. Salmonid embryos were also planted into artificial redds adjacent to the monitoring equipment. The rate of sedimentation of the newly cleaned redd gravels demonstrated a non‐linear decrease over time, which is attributed to a particle‐size‐selective depositional process. The results of the study confirm that low embryo survival and low dissolved oxygen concentrations in intragravel water can be attributed to the accumulation of sediment within the redd gravels. This was found to produce a reduction in redd permeability, which limited the interchange of surface and intragravel water and, therefore, the supply of dissolved oxygen to the intragravel environment. In view of the diminished status of salmonids within many of the UK's chalk rivers and streams, the results highlight the need for management initiatives aimed at reducing redd sedimentation and thereby optimizing salmonid embryo incubation success.

A modified multiple tension upward infiltration method to estimate the soil hydraulic properties

Determination of saturated hydraulic conductivity, K_s, and the shape parameters α and n of the water retention curve, θ(h), is of paramount importance to characterize the water flow in the vadose zone. This work presents a modified upward infiltration method to estimate K_s, α and n from numerical inverse analysis of the measured cumulative upward infiltration (CUI) at multiple constant tension lower boundary conditions. Using the HYDRUS‐2D software, a theoretical analysis on a synthetic loam soil under different soil tensions (0, 0–10, 0–50 and 0–100 cm), with and without an overpressure step of 10 cm high from the top boundary condition at the end of the upward infiltration process, was performed to check the uniqueness and the accuracy of the solutions. Using a tension sorptivimeter device, the method was validated in a laboratory experiment on five different soils: a coarse and a fine sand, and a 1‐mm sieved loam, clay loam and silt‐gypseous soils. The estimated α and n parameters were compared to the corresponding values measured with the TDR‐pressure cell method. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that K_s and θ(h) can be simultaneously estimated from measured upward cumulative infiltration when high (>50 cm) soil tensions are initially applied at the lower boundary. Alternatively, satisfactory results can be also obtained when medium tensions (<50 cm) and the K_s calculated from the overpressure step at the end of the experiment are considered. A consistent relationship was found between the α (R² = 0.86, p < 0.02) and n (R² = 0.97, p < 0.001) values measured with the TDR‐pressure cell and the corresponding values estimated with the tension sorptivimeter. The error between the α (in logarithm scale) and n values estimated with the inverse analysis and the corresponding values measured with pressure chamber were 3.1 and 6.1%, respectively.
