Through a combination of static gelation experiments and core flow experiments, the thickening performance and seepage characteristics in porous media of the novel HDS system was studied. Considering the viscosity changes and dynamic chain extension reactions of the HDS system, the Darcy-Brinkman-Stokes (DBS) micro-continuum approach was applied to develop a multi-physical mathematical model for the migration of HDS system in a pore-throat network. Therefore, a 4-meter core experiment and multi-scale numerical modeling were conducted to analyze the dynamic chain extension efficiency and spatial distribution characteristics of the HDS system. Additionally, machine learning techniques were used to define the dynamic chain extension reaction index (<em>RI</em>) and identify its critical threshold, exploring the effects of varying injection parameters, solution concentrations, and permeabilities on the chain extension behavior. Results show that HDS molecular chains form aggregated structures that evolve into a unique spatial network. As the network structure becomes denser, the viscosity of HDS system increases rapidly. As the core permeability increases, the core throat size enlarges, and the compatibility between the HDS system molecular aggregates and the pore throat improves. HDS system shows good transmission performance during migration in the long core. Numerical simulations and machine learning techniques were employed to define the dynamic chain extension <em>RI,</em> examining how <em>RI</em> changes under varying injection parameters, solution concentrations, and permeabilities. As permeability, HDS system concentration, and injection rate increase, the <em>RI</em> also increases. The results are presented in the <em>RI</em> graph, offering theoretical insights for deep profile adjustment and the development of reagent systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":325,"journal":{"name":"Fuel","volume":"396 ","pages":"Article 135352"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143829573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pakistan faces a shortage of reliable energy data and lacks dependable long-term demand forecasting models. Consequently, the country has not developed a comprehensive energy policy for its entire energy sector. Forecasting demand is essential due to population growth and dwindling fossil fuel resources. This study forecasts Pakistan’s fuel demand across all sectors of the economy under various scenarios using the LEAP modeling approach, accounting for both energy and non-energy demand. Eight scenarios were developed to provide a clearer picture of fuel demand, while energy supply analysis is covered in another article to address the challenges of the energy demand–supply chain. By 2040–41, fuel demand could reach 129.7 million tons of oil equivalent (MTOE) in the Business-as-Usual Scenario (BAUS) and 261.7 MTOE in the High Growth Scenario (HGS) without demand management and energy efficiency measures, while with these measures, demand is projected to fall between 95.7 MTOE and 201 MTOE. The projected fuel mix for 2040–41 includes electricity (15.17%), natural gas (33.46%), CNG (2.79%), oil (32.88%), coal (13.38%), and LPG (2.32%). Environmental emissions from fuel consumption are expected to reach 671 million metric tons of CO<sub>2</sub> equivalent (MMtCO<sub>2</sub>E) in the HGS in the terminal year, compared to 320.4 MMtCO<sub>2</sub>E in the BAUS. Energy efficiency measures could reduce emissions in 2040–41 to 87.12 MMtCO<sub>2</sub>E in the BAUS, with potential reductions of up to 158 MMtCO<sub>2</sub>E in the HGS. For higher demand growth, the study recommends increased reliance on renewable energy and indigenous resources rather than imported fossil fuels to ensure energy security, sustainable supplies, and a cleaner environment.
