LF-DAS signals can capture fracture hits and the strain field around the hydraulic fracture. However, the interpretation of field LF-DAS data can be challenging due to the complexity of the underground conditions. This study develops a fracture propagation model to simulate the hydraulic fracturing process. The modelling results are analyzed to examine patterns and trends observed in interpreting field LF-DAS data. The fracture propagation model, coupled with the flow and geomechanical computations, is implemented in the MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST). The flow and geomechanical calculations are discretized by the finite volume and the virtual element methods, respectively. The hydraulic fracture is set to propagate along a prescribed path with a specific propagation or activation criterion. The accuracy of our model is validated against the KGD analytical solutions for the leak-off-viscosity, storage-viscosity and leak-off-toughness dominated regimes. The simulated stress and strain features are consistent with those interpreted from field LF-DAS signals. Several case studies and sensitivity analyses demonstrate the approach's utility and examine fracture interference, closure, and stress shadowing effects. The modelling work facilitates interpreting field measurement data by investigating characteristics of fracture hits from adjacent wells. The modelling method provides insights into fracture interference and its implications on optimal designs during hydraulic fracturing stimulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100574"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352380824000418/pdfft?md5=acdbac2e31bf8d8c47a13043f209e9b6&pid=1-s2.0-S2352380824000418-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141482374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) possesses great potential for improving the thermal conductivity of backfill materials. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (i.e., nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) have been proven to enhance bacterial biochemical activity by altering the permeability of bacterial biofilms, thus potentially improving the MICP process. It was supposed to enhance the thermal conductivity of backfill materials, allowing for applying energy geo-structures in arid environments. In this study, MICP in a solution environment was conducted to analyze bacterial urease activity and morphology of precipitation at varying nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> contents. Additionally, sand columns treated with MICP and different nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> contents were performed to obtain the thermal conductivity and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) through the transient plane source (TPS) method and uniaxial compression (UC) experiment. The mineral type, precipitation morphology, and microstructure were identified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanism of the effect of nano-Fe3O4 on bacterial urease activity and thermal-mechanical behaviors was also discussed. The results indicated that the nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> could enhance bacterial urease activity and promote vaterite precipitation in the solution environment. Conversely, when applied to MICP-treated sand, nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> could facilitate calcite formation. Increasing the nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> content showed a positive correlation with increased thermal conductivity and UCS. Specifically, the optimal values of thermal conductivity and UCS increased by 2.42 times and 2.39 times, respectively, compared to MICP-treated specimens without nano-Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>. Microstructure analysis revealed that calcite precipitation at the particle contact served a dual function: cementing particles, thereby improving the mechanical strength and simultaneously acting as a \"thermal bridge\" to enhance the thermal conductivity.

Fracture-plugging wellbore strengthening by lost circulation materials (FPWSLCM) is a widely applied fluid loss control technique globally. The upper limit of the pressure-bearing capacity treated using FPWSLCM and the relevant engineering influencing factors needs to be investigated further. In this paper, a self-designed large-scale true tri-axial cell was developed to simulate the fracturing and sealing processes in a cubic sandstone sample (30 cm × 30 cm×30 cm) under anisotropic stress to investigate the effect of lost circulation materials (LCM) and the experimental processes on the formation pressure-bearing capacity. Three homogeneous cubic tight sandstone samples taken from Xujiahe Formation in Sichuan Basin with a central hole were used for the wellbore strengthening experiments with FPWSLCM, which was used to eliminate the heterogeneity effect of the rock. SRIPE (SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Engineering) bridge plugging materials were used as LCM. The results show that the formation pressure-bearing capacity after treatment by FPWSLCM was affected by the initial injection pressure, the intrusion amount of LCM, the pressure holding time, and the injection rate. The formation pressure-bearing capacity did not decrease consistently with the increase of plugging zone instability times, but showed an obvious characteristic of fluctuations; the formation pressure-bearing capacity exceeded the fracturing pressure in some cases. The experimental results could be explained by the stress cage theory. Finally, the modified FPWSLCM was applied as a lost circulation control approach by drilling into the tight sandstone formation in the Shunbei oil field, which has a history of severe loss of fluid circulations. The result of the field test indicated that the modified approaches were more successful than the previous approaches used in other wells in this block.

First, we obtain a simplified model of induced seismicity due to fluid injections in an underground reservoir using a diffusion equation in three dimensions. Then, we design a robust tracking control approach to force the seismicity rate to follow desired references. In this way, the induced seismicity is minimized while ensuring fluid circulation for the needs of renewable energy production and storage. The designed control guarantees the achievement of the control objectives even in the presence of system uncertainties and unknown dynamics.

The elevated temperature in HLW repositories significantly influences the properties and behaviour of the surrounding buffers. However, to date the mechanism of temperature effects on the behaviour of the bentonite buffer is not well understood. This study is aimed at clarifying the macro- and micro-responses of bentonite-sand mixtures by conducting cone penetration test, rheometer test, flask volumetric test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) at different temperatures. The results from macro-experiments show that the liquid limit and yield stress increased while bound water content decreased with increasing temperature. The normalized relationships disclose the sand content dramatically affects the degree of temperature influence on the macro-behaviour. SEM and MIP results present that the contact manner between particles converted from edge-to-face to the edge-to-edge association and some intra-aggregate pores merged to form inter-aggregate pores as temperature increases. The mechanisms of the increasing temperature influence on the responses of bentonite-sand mixtures can be inferred that: 1) the diffuse double layer is supposed to decrease since more ions were electrolyzed from montmorillonite particles, thereby, increasing the ion concentration and changing the ion valence; 2) the slight shrinkage of diffuse double layer produced nano-fissures, causing water-hold capacity to increase; 3) the temperature-induced transition from bound water into free water results in an increase of liquid volume; 4) increasing temperature led to increased inter-particle repulsive force. Furthermore, an empirical model was proposed to predict the yield stress of bentonite dispersion incorporating the combined effects of sand content and temperature.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100565"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141136368","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}
