Formation heat treatment (FHT) can effectively remove water and induce new fractures to prevent such formation damage and increase shale permeability. However, the range of the heat treatment in shale gas reservoir remains unclear, as does its effectiveness in mitigating water blocking. Laboratory experiments and numerical simulation are conducted in this paper. The experimental results indicate that shale permeability is significantly improved by FHT. A mathematical model coupling heat transfer and shale permeability is established, considering the initial reservoir permeability and heat treatment time. The heat transfer range around a shale gas well after injection of 800℃ gas at a pressure difference of 5 MPa is simulated. The results indicate that (1) the heat transfer range can extend over 1.0 m within a heat treatment time longer than 48 h for a shale formation with the permeability more than 0.1mD after hydraulic fracturing; (2) a one order of magnitude increase in permeability enhances the heat transfer range by 40 %-100 %; (3) with each 24 h increase in heat treatment time, the heat transfer range expands by 27 %- 40 %; (4) the primary factors controlling the heat transfer range are initial reservoir permeability and heat treatment time; (5) an autocatalytic effect in actual FHT suggests the treatment range may exceed simulation estimates. This study illuminates the stimulation effect of FHT technology, which is beneficial for further understanding the increase of productivity of a normal-pressure shale gas well.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":325,"journal":{"name":"Fuel","volume":"382 ","pages":"Article 133667"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142654633","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}

As the defect sites in the ZSM-22 zeolite, the abundant Si-OH groups are closely related to the catalytic performance and stability, serving as the main attack sites for the generated water. In this work, liquid-mediated defect-healing treatment is performed to heal Si-OH to Si-O-Si, leading to the enhancement of the crystallinity and pore connectivity without affecting the Si/Al, micropore volume, and morphology and preventing the micropores blockage and dealumination caused by conventional silylation and silication procedures. The outcome of the declined Si-OH groups is the reduction of the Lewis acid site without altering the Brønsted acidity. In the n-dodecane hydroisomerization, the catalyst obtained by the liquid-mediated defect-healing treatment route shows an increased conversion and isomer yield compared to the parent and healed catalysts prepared by other healing methods. This is mainly due to enhanced confinement of the micropore void, resulting in decreased apparent activation energy and reduced yield to multi-branched isomers prone to cracking. Furthermore, the healed catalyst exhibits improved resistance and structure stability in the hydroisomerization of feedstocks containing butanol.

AP (Ammonium Perchlorate), as a synthetic oxidizer, has been widely utilized in modern composite solid propellants. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the physicochemical processes such as condensed-phase heating and reaction kinetics, the interactions between the condensed and gas phases, and gas-phase combustion. A steady-state numerical simulation model is presented to study the combustion of AP. Zonal modeling is employed to treat the solid phase, melt layer, and gas phase separately with conservation of mass, energy, and species, and the solutions are coupled with appropriate boundary conditions. A simple global reaction is developed, validated, and used for the condensed phase with better surface species profiles than those available in the literature. A detailed reaction mechanism is used in the gas phase combustion. This model considers only liquid as a condensed phase and uses a newly condensed phase mechanism and a premixed AP/HTPB (hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene) gas phase reaction mechanism instead of AP monopropellant gas phase mechanism. This modeling is a prerequisite for a more sophisticated multi-modal composite propellant model with AP grains and AP/HTPB binder.

A high-speed camera was used in this study to investigate the precipitation and growth of IMBs on the coal surface in situ and to explore the impact of IMBs on the dynamic collision and adhesion processes. Observations of IMBs precipitation revealed that it was related to the air saturation in water. The precipitation sites were selective, mainly occurring from the pores and cracks on coal surface.
