The optimal univariate nonlinear regression model of mine water inflow to each influencing factor is obtained by factor scatter analysis and Matlab function programming.

The multivariate weighted nonlinear regression model is used to predict the mine water inflow of typical coal mines, and the prediction results are compared with the linear regression model and the measured value.

This involves optimizing the cutter designs, conducting laboratory experiment and field testing. Among the various cutter geometries considered, concave, axe, planar, and triangular cutters are chosen as the focal points for unit rock-breaking experiments. These tests aim to assess their cutting loads and cutting specific energy to gain a deeper understanding of their performance characteristics. Based on experimental, the debris characteristics are analyzed. Based on the understanding of the shale-breaking characteristics of special-shaped cutters, field testing is performed using a novel PDC bit with a special-shaped cutter. Compared with planar cutters, the concave cutter and the triangular cutter generate lower cutting loads and cutting specific energy. Under identical conditions, the average cutting force and cutting specific energy of concave cutter at different cutting depths are reduced by 16.1% and 19.6% Specifically, the concave cutter generates the largest debris when operated under similar conditions, which is beneficial for increasing rock-breaking efficiency. Laboratory experiment indicate that compared to conventional drill bits, the novel drill bit experiences an increase in torque of approximately 9.8% with increasing WOB (weight on bit). Under high WOB, the ROP (rate of penetration) increases by about 75.4%, while the mechanical specific energy decreases by nearly 40%. Additionally, the novel bit vibration characteristics remain superior to conventional drill bits. Field testing shows that the average ROP of the novel bit and total footage drilled increase by up to 13.3% and 27.2%, respectively, in comparison with those for the conventional bit. The research results are helpful to speed up the efficiency of shale gas drilling.</p>","PeriodicalId":12813,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the previous scale effect sampling methods are analyzed. In order to ensure that the selected samples are representative, a novel sampling method, considering all morphological information, is proposed. By means of the novel quantification and sampling methods, the size effect characteristics are systematically analyzed.

As sampling scale increases, the distribution range of representative samples is gradually concentrated, the total amount decreases, and the proportion increases.

The morphology of unloaded deep rock failure surfaces exhibits significant variability and complexity. Surface roughness is closely linked to both shear strength and crack seepage behavior. Understanding these morphology parameters is vital for comprehending the mechanical behavior and seepage characteristics of rock masses. In this study, three-dimensional optical scanning technology was employed to analyze the micromorphological properties of limestone and sandstone failure surfaces under varying stress conditions. Line and surface roughness characteristics of different rock failure surfaces were then determined. Our findings reveal a critical confining pressure value (12 MPa) that influences the damage features of Ordovician limestone failure surfaces. With increasing confining pressure, pore depth and crack formation connecting the pores also increase. Beyond the critical confining pressure, the mesoscopic roughness of the failure surface decreases, and the range of interval-distributed pore roughness diminishes. Additionally, we conducted a detailed investigation into the water conductivity properties of rocks under different stress states using Barton's joint roughness coefficient (JRC) index and rock fractal theory. The roughness features of rock failure surfaces were classified into three categories based on mesoscopic pore and crack undulation forms: straight, wavy, and jagged. We also observed significant confining pressure effects on limestone and sandstone, which exceeding the critical confining pressure led to increased water conductivity in both rocks, albeit through different mechanisms. While sandstone exhibits fissures running across it, limestone shows shear abrasion holes. Beyond the critical confining pressure, the rock failure surface becomes smoother, leading to decreased water flow blocking capacity. The fractal dimension of Ordovician limestone increases significantly under critical confining pressure, leading to a more complex mesoscopic crack extension route.</p>","PeriodicalId":12813,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141873361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment suggest that the quality of tight reservoir is determined by its pore structure, particularly the throat radius, with the microthroat being an essential factor in permeability. Uniquely, we divide the reservoir by Q-cluster with throat radius, displacement pressure, permeability and other parameters.

Pore fluids are generally classified into movable fluid and irreducible fluid by one or two NMR T₂ cut-offs.

This study analyzes the statistical characteristics of landslide displacement evolution. Based on the normal distribution theory, random variables of displacement velocity and acceleration with random errors are introduced into the analysis of surface displacement information, and random variables of relative displacement with random errors are introduced into the analysis of deep displacement information. When the random variables do not follow the normal distribution, the warning time can be obtained. Therefore, an advanced landslide classification warning method is established. The analysis results showed that analysis results from the April 30 landslide project at an open pit mine indicate that the earliest warning time for landslide initiation is 2020/2/19, while the earliest warnings for acceleration occur on 2020/4/15 and the fast acceleration on 2020/4/25. These three-level warning times align with reality, and the inferred slip surface position corresponds to the actual weak layer range. The primary power source driving landslide originates from behind the sliding body which subsequently pushes rock mass along weak layers near the south wing, north wing, and front in succession.

The researches on the types of lithological assemblages, reservoir characteristics, and gas-bearing properties are poor, which limits the evaluation and selection of the sweet point area for the marine-continental transitional shale gas. In this paper, by comparing the differential of different lithological distribution in the well L3, multiple discriminant functions and logging interpretation models for different lithology are established to determine the classification criteria of lithological assemblage types of shale formations. Based on the experimental results of high-temperature and high-pressure isothermal adsorption, the reservoir space distribution and gas-bearing characteristics of mudstone in different lithological assemblages are compared and analyzed. It is indicated that the four lithological assemblage types are found in the Permian Longtan Formation, including thick mudstone with the interlayer of coalbed (Type I), rich mudstone with the interlayer of sandstone and thin coalbed (Type II), sandstone interbedded with mudstone with the interlayer of coalbed (Type III), and limestone interbedded with sandstone with the interlayer of mudstone (Type IV), which are superimposed with each other. The different pore structure characteristics of mudstone in different lithological assemblages is the main influencing factor of differential gas-bearing property. The dominant lithological assemblages are Type I and Type II. Coalbed and carbonaceous mudstone are the source rock and primary storage space of adsorbed gas. Moreover, with low porosity and permeability, high breakthrough pressure and the strong sealing capacity of regional mudstone, it is easy to form the “microtrap” to store the natural gas. The sealing capacity of mudstone provides a favorable condition for gas preserve.
