In this paper, the permeability, connected porosity, and average connected pore radius of the cement sheath were characterized using a permeability test system, mercury intrusion, and computed tomography (CT). A dynamic permeability calculation model, which considered the pore compaction effect, was established and validated by test results. On this basis, a gas seepage length analysis model was further derived. The risk and influencing factors of gas seepage were explored and the critical poroperm characteristics indexes of the cement sheath were proposed. The results found that the connected pores inside the cement sheath will cause the risk of gas seepage. Decreasing the gas storage pressure, average connected pore radius, connected porosity, and permeability of the cement sheath can shorten the gas seepage length. The poroperm characteristics requirements charts were designed, and the average connected pore radius (<em>r</em>) and permeability (<em>K</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>) of the cement sheath under various well depths (<em>H</em>) and gas storage pressures (<em>P</em><sub>e</sub>) were quantified, that when the <em>r</em> and <em>K</em><sub><em>a</em></sub> meet <em>K</em><sub><em>a</em></sub> (10<sup>3</sup> <em>P</em><sub>e</sub> – 9.8 <em>H</em>–121034 <em>r</em><sup>−1</sup>)/(13400 + 1.52 <em>H</em>) &lt; 0, the gas sealing of the gas storage wells' cement sheath can be ensured under different <em>H</em> and <em>P</em><sub>e</sub>.

Moreover, the use of X-ray sources to replace isotopic radioactive sources in nuclear logging has emerged as a new trend, but there is relatively little research on the calculation of logging parameters for X-ray cased-hole logging. As a result, further research on forward modeling of detector response and data inversion is required. Because the cement sheath density response was not included in the prior forward modeling formula, we intend to include a geological model constraint whose objective is precisely the cement sheath density in the case of unclear cement sheath circumstances. To achieve this, the energy window related to the cement sheath density was identified first based on the X-ray source. Subsequently, a four-detector formation model was developed under relevant constraints. The model was then extended into a cement sheath density correction function and integrated into the original response formula of the four detectors concerning the counting rate. Finally, a new forward equation for X-ray cased-hole logging parameters of the four detectors was established. For the inversion problem of cased-hole logging parameters, Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm was employed to find the optimal values. The proposed forward and inverse methods for X-ray cased-hole logging parameters were applied to simulation examples and a practical case, which yielded satisfactory results. This method can effectively capture the geological characteristics and monitor the changes in casing and cement sheath, which offers significant implications for subsequent geological exploration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100578,"journal":{"name":"Geoenergy Science and Engineering","volume":"250 ","pages":"Article 213830"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143601553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the inter-well interference mechanism and the procedures for determining an optimal well spacing in multi-layer developments remain unclear.

The hydraulic fracturing process of three staggered wells is hydromechanically simulated, followed by an analysis of the interaction mechanism between multiple wells and the effect of well spacing on hydraulic fracturing. The results show that the effect of interference between wells on fracturing effectiveness varies non-linearly with increasing well spacing. Fracture growth is limited when well spacing is too small, resulting in reduced stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). Excessive well spacing is detrimental to the formation of complex fracture networks and results in a waste of reservoir resources between wells. Furthermore, a multi-factor scoring method was proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing. This method considers reservoir stimulation, fracture network quality, and resource utilization to generate comparable scores. The assessment result clearly shows that an optimal well spacing exists for multi-well and multi-layer development and numerical modeling can be used to identify this value.

To address the above problems, this study uses KH560 coupling agent and Alumino-silicate fibers (ASF) to synergistically modify oil well cementitious materials, and proposes a new method to enhance the overall performance of oil well cement. Mechanical tests, CT, SEM, FTIR, EDS, and molecular dynamics simulations were utilized to comprehensively evaluate the mechanical strength, pore structure, micro-morphology, chemical reactions, elemental distribution, and modification mechanism of the materials using multi-scale analytical methods. Experimental temperature and pressure are 80 °C and normal pressure. The macro-mechanical tests results demonstrated that the compressive and flexural strengths of the modified cement test block of 7 day increased by 4.17 % and 22.79 %, respectively. Additionally, the optimal dosage of pretreated ASF was 1.0 % of the oil well cement. The mesoscopic and microscopic CT and SEM tests results indicated that the modified ASF can optimize the pore structure and exhibited a robust bond with cement. The FTIR and EDS chemical tests results show that the characteristic peaks of Al-O, Si-O and O-H chemical bond vibrations are extraordinarily sharp, and the Al, O and Si atoms are mainly distributed near the ASF. The nanomolecular simulation results show that the main reason for enhanced interfacial bonding after modification is the stable O<sub>KH560</sub>-Si<sub>C-S-H</sub>, O<sub>KH560</sub>-Si<sub>ASF</sub> and O<sub>KH560</sub>-Al<sub>Al2O3</sub> bonding, and the KH560 molecules play the “bridge” role between C-S-H and ASF.

While physical models, such as the ΔlogR method and density-based approaches, have traditionally been used for TOC prediction, they are often limited by challenges related to parameter determination and accuracy. Additionally, predicting TOC in highly heterogeneous shale formations remains particularly challenging. Although machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for data-driven TOC prediction, its performance is frequently constrained by manual hyperparameter tuning, which may result in suboptimal model outcomes. This study proposes an innovative framework that integrates Swarm Intelligence Optimization Algorithm (SIOA) with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), termed SIOA-GPR. The proposed approach harnesses the optimization capabilities of SIOA to systematically determine GPR hyperparameters, thereby minimizing prediction errors and enhancing model performance. To validate the framework, TOC prediction was conducted using a dataset comprising 110 core samples and corresponding well logs from the Y1 well in the Subei Basin, China. The workflow involved splitting the data into two portions: 80% for training and hyperparameter optimization, and 20% for independent model validation. Experimental results demonstrate that the SIOA-GPR framework outperforms existing integrated machine learning models. The proposed method achieves superior performance metrics, such as higher correlation coefficients and lower mean absolute errors compared to its counterparts. Furthermore, the framework exhibits robust generalization capabilities across different shale intervals, highlighting its potential for broader applications in reservoir evaluation and engineering development. The SIOA-GPR framework addresses the limitations of both physical models and traditional machine learning approaches by automating hyperparameter tuning, thereby enhancing prediction accuracy and reliability.
