Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a crucial method for significantly increasing the amount of crude oil extracted from mature and declining oil fields. Nanomaterials have shown great potential in improving EOR methods due to their unique properties, such as high surface area, tunable surface chemistry, and the ability to interact at the molecular level with fluids and rock surfaces. This study examines the potential use of incorporating ethoxylated molybdenum disulfide with a unique three-dimensional flower-like morphology for overcoming the challenges associated with oil recovery from reservoirs characterized by complex pore structures and low permeability. The synthesized nanomaterial features a chemical composition that encompasses a polar ethoxy group linking molybdenum disulfide nanosheets and an alkylamine chain. The ethoxy group promotes interactions with water molecules through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces, disrupting the cohesive forces among water molecules and reduction surface tension at the oil–water interface. As a result, the nanomaterial achieves an ultra-low interfacial tension of 10⁻³ mN/m. Core flooding experiments demonstrate a significant oil recovery of approximately 70% at a concentration as low as 50 ppm.

Recently, a novel pre-SC-CO₂ hybrid fracturing method has been proposed, which combines the advantages of SC-CO₂ fracturing and hydraulic fracturing. However, the specific impacts of different pre–SC-CO₂ injection conditions on the physical parameters, mechanical properties, and crack propagation behavior of shale reservoirs remain unclear. In this study, we utilize a newly developed “pre-SC-CO₂ injection → water-based fracturing” integrated experimental device. Through experimentation under in-situ conditions, the impact of pre-SC-CO₂ injection displacement and volume on the shale mineral composition, mechanical parameters, and fracture propagation behavior are investigated. The findings of the study demonstrate that the pre-injection SC-CO₂ leads to a reduction in clay and carbonate mineral content, while increasing the quartz content. The correlation between quartz content and SC-CO₂ injection volume is positive, while a negative correlation is observed with injection displacement. The elastic modulus and compressive strength exhibit a declining trend, while Poisson's ratio shows an increasing trend. The weakening of shale mechanics caused by pre-injection of SC-CO₂ is positively correlated with the injection displacement and volume. Additionally, pre-injection of SC-CO₂ enhances the plastic deformation behavior of shale, and its breakdown pressure is 16.6% lower than that of hydraulic fracturing. The breakdown pressure demonstrates a non-linear downward trend with the gradual increase of pre-SC-CO₂ injection parameters. Unlike hydraulic fracturing, which typically generates primary fractures along the direction of the maximum principal stress, pre-SC-CO₂ hybrid fracturing leads to a more complex fracture network. With increasing pre-SC-CO₂ injection displacement, intersecting double Y-shaped complex fractures are formed along the vertical axis. On the other hand, increasing the injection rate generates secondary fractures along the direction of non-principal stress. The insights gained from this study are valuable for guiding the design of preSC-CO₂ hybrid fracturing in shale oil reservoirs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19938,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current experimental measurements are time-consuming, and equations of state can be computationally complex. To address these challenges, we developed an artificial intelligence-based model to predict the solubility of CO₂ in hydrocarbons under varying conditions of temperature, pressure, molecular weight, and density. Using experimental data from previous studies, we trained and predicted the solubility using four machine learning models: support vector regression (SVR), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Among four models, the XGBoost model has the best predictive performance, with an <em>R</em>² of 0.9838. Additionally, sensitivity analysis and evaluation of the relative impacts of each input parameter indicate that the prediction of CO₂ solubility in hydrocarbons is most sensitive to pressure. Furthermore, our trained model was compared with existing models, demonstrating higher accuracy and applicability of our model.

It is influenced by multi-source data which need to be combined for the dynamic liquid level real-time calculation. In this paper, the multi-source data are regarded as the different views including the load of the sucker rod and liquid in the wellbore, the image of the dynamometer card and production dynamics parameters. These views can be fused by the multi-branch neural network with special fusion layer. With this method, the features of different views can be extracted by considering the difference of the modality and physical meaning between them. Then, the extraction results which are selected by multinomial sampling can be the input of the fusion layer. During the fusion process, the availability under different views determines whether the views are fused in the fusion layer or not. In this way, not only the correlation between the views can be considered, but also the missing data can be processed automatically. The results have shown that the load and production features fusion (the method proposed in this paper) performs best with the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) 39.63 m, followed by the features concatenation with MAE 42.47 m. They both performed better than only a single view and the lower MAE of the features fusion indicates that its generalization ability is stronger. In contrast, the image feature as a single view contributes little to the accuracy improvement after fused with other views with the highest MAE. When there is data missing in some view, compared with the features concatenation, the multi-view features fusion will not result in the unavailability of a large number of samples. When the missing rate is 10%, 30%, 50% and 80%, the method proposed in this paper can reduce MAE by 5.8, 7, 9.3 and 20.3 m respectively. In general, the multi-view features fusion method proposed in this paper can improve the accuracy obviously and process the missing data effectively, which helps provide technical support for real-time monitoring of the dynamic liquid level in oil fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19938,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141028070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the complexity of existing pressure-preserved technology, the average success rate of pressure-preserved coring is low.

This innovative technology distinguishes itself from conventional methods by employing noncontact forces to replace traditional pre-tensioning mechanisms, thereby enhancing the mechanical design of pressure-preserved coring equipment and significantly boosting the fault tolerance of the technology. Here, we report on the design, theoretical calculations, experimental validation, and industrial testing of this technology. Through theoretical and simulation calculations, the self-sealing composite magnetic field of the pressure controller was optimized. The initial pre-tensioning force of the optimal magnetic field was 13.05 N. The reliability of the magnetically controlled self-sealing pressure-preserved coring technology was verified using a self-developed self-sealing pressure performance testing platform, confirming the accuracy of the composite magnetic field calculation theory. Subsequently, a magnetically controlled self-triggering pressure-preserved coring device was designed. Field pressure-preserved coring was then conducted, preliminarily verifying the technology's effective self-sealing performance in industrial applications. Furthermore, the technology was analyzed and verified to be adaptable to complex reservoir environments with pressures up to 30 MPa, temperatures up to 80 °C, and pH values ranging from 1 to 14.

Due to the variable reservoir formation morphology, the drilling trajectory often deviates from the high-quality reservoir, which increases the risk of fracturing. Accurately recognizing low-amplitude structures plays a crucial role in guiding horizontal wells. However, existing methods have low recognition accuracy, and are difficult to meet actual production demand. In order to improve the drilling encounter rate of high-quality reservoirs, we propose a method for fine recognition of low-amplitude structures based on the non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT). Firstly, the seismic structural data are analyzed at multiple scales and directions using the NSCT and decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency structural components. Then, the signal of each component is reconstructed to eliminate the low-frequency background of the structure, highlight the structure and texture information, and recognize the low-amplitude structure from it. Finally, we combined the drilled horizontal wells to verify the low-amplitude structural recognition results. Taking a study area in the west Sichuan Basin block as an example, we demonstrate the fine identification of low-amplitude structures based on NSCT. By combining the variation characteristics of logging curves, such as organic carbon content (TOC), natural gamma value (GR), etc., the real structure type is verified and determined, and the false structures in the recognition results are checked. The proposed method can provide reliable information on low-amplitude structures for optimizing the trajectory of horizontal wells. Compared with identification methods based on traditional wavelet transform and curvelet transform, NSCT enhances the local features of low-amplitude structures and achieves finer mapping of low-amplitude structures, showing promise for application.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19938,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140787398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional wave equation-based simulation methods have to consider complex boundary conditions at the fluid-solid interface. To address this challenge, we propose a novel numerical scheme that integrates the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and lattice spring model (LSM). In this scheme, LBM simulates viscoacoustic wave propagation in the fluid area and LSM simulates elastic wave propagation in the solid area. We also introduce three different LBM-LSM coupling strategies, a standard bounce back scheme, a specular reflection scheme, and a hybrid scheme, to describe wave propagation across fluid-solid boundaries. To demonstrate the accuracy of these LBM-LSM coupling schemes, we simulate wave propagation in a two-layer model containing a fluid-solid interface. We place excitation sources in the fluid layer and the solid layer respectively, to observe the wave phenomena when seismic waves propagate to interface from different sides. The simulated results by LBM-LSM are compared with the reference wavefields obtained by the finite difference method (FDM) and the analytical solution (ANA). Our LBM-LSM coupling scheme was verified effective, as the relative errors between the LBM-LSM solutions and reference solutions were within an acceptable range, sometimes around 1.00%. The coupled LBM-LSM scheme is further used to model seismic wavefields across a more realistic rugged seabed, which reveals the potential applications of the coupled LBM-LSM scheme in marine seismic imaging techniques, such as reverse-time migration and full-waveform inversion.
