In this paper, a 2D high-speed imaging scheme which can capture the interaction between perforating phase and natural shale bedding planes was proposed. The phase field method was used to simulate the same conditions as in the experiment for verification and hydraulic fracture propagation mechanism under the competition of perforating phase and bedding planes was discussed.The results indicate that the bedding planes appear to be no influence on fracture propagation while the perforating phase is perpendicular to the bedding planes, and the fracture propagates along the perforating phase without deflection. When the perforating phase algins with the bedding planes, the fracture initiation pressure reserves the lowest value, and no deflection occurs during fracture propagation. When the perforating phase is the angle 45°, 60°and 75°of bedding planes, the bedding planes begin to play a key role on the fracture deflection. The maximum deflection degree is reached at the perforating phase of75°. Numerical simulation provides evidence that the existence of shale bedding planes is not exactly equivalent to anisotropy for fracture propagation and the difference of mechanical properties between different shale layers is the fundamental reason for fracture deflection. The findings help to understand the intrinsic characteristics of shale and provide a theoretical basis for the optimization design of field perforation parameters.展开更多

The ...Long-term navigation ability based on consumer-level wearable inertial sensors plays an essential role towards various emerging fields, for instance, smart healthcare, emergency rescue, soldier positioning et al. The performance of existing long-term navigation algorithm is limited by the cumulative error of inertial sensors, disturbed local magnetic field, and complex motion modes of the pedestrian. This paper develops a robust data and physical model dual-driven based trajectory estimation(DPDD-TE) framework, which can be applied for long-term navigation tasks. A Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory(Bi-LSTM) based quasi-static magnetic field(QSMF) detection algorithm is developed for extracting useful magnetic observation for heading calibration, and another Bi-LSTM is adopted for walking speed estimation by considering hybrid human motion information under a specific time period. In addition, a data and physical model dual-driven based multi-source fusion model is proposed to integrate basic INS mechanization and multi-level constraint and observations for maintaining accuracy under long-term navigation tasks, and enhanced by the magnetic and trajectory features assisted loop detection algorithm. Real-world experiments indicate that the proposed DPDD-TE outperforms than existing algorithms, and final estimated heading and positioning accuracy indexes reaches 5° and less than 2 m under the time period of 30 min, respectively.展开更多

Previous attempts to address this problem has been unsatisfactory because they can only reduce the strength decline rate. This study presents a new solution to this problem by incorporating fly ash to the traditional silica-cement systems. The influences of fly ash and silica on the strength retrogression behavior of oil well cement systems directly set and cured under the condition of 200°C and 50 MPa are investigated. Test results indicate that the slurries containing only silica or fly ash experience severe strength retrogression from 2 to 30 d curing, while the slurries containing both fly ash and silica experience strength enhancement from 2 to 90 d. The strength test results are corroborated by further evidences from permeability tests as well as microstructure analysis of set cement. Composition of set cement evaluated by quantitative X-ray diffraction analyses with partial or no known crystal structure(PONKCS) method and thermogravimetry analyses revealed that the conversion of amorphous C-(A)-S-H to crystalline phases is the primary cause of long-term strength retrogression.The addition of fly ash can reduce the initial amount of C-(A)-S-H in the set cement, and its combined use with silica can prevent the crystallization of C-(A)-S-H, which is believed to be the working mechanism of this new admixture in improving long-term strength stability of oil well cement systems.展开更多

文摘Shale reservoirs contain numerous bedding fractures,making the formation of complex fracture networks during fracturing a persistent technical challenge in evaluating shale fracture morphology.Distributed optical fiber sensing technology can effectively capture the process of fracture initiation and propagation,yet the evaluation method for the initiation and propagation of bedding fractures remains immature.This study integrates a distributed optical fiber sensing device based on optical frequency domain reflectometry(OFDR)with a large-scale true tri-axial fracturing physical simulation apparatus to conduct real-time monitoring experiments on shale samples from the Lianggaoshan Formation in the Sichuan Basin,where bedding is well-developed.The experimental results demonstrate that two bedding fractures in the shale sample initiated and propagated.The evolution characteristics of fiber-optic strain in a horizontal adjacent well,induced by the initiation and propagation of bedding fractures,are characterized by the appearance of a tensile strain convergence zone in the middle of the optical fiber,flanked by two compressive strain convergence zones.The initiation and propagation of the distal bedding fracture causes the fiber-optic strain in the horizontal adjacent well to superimpose,with the asymmetric propagation of the bedding fracture leading to an asymmetric tensile strain convergence zone in the optical fiber.Utilizing a finite element method coupled with a cohesive element approach,a forward model of fiber-optic strain in the horizontal adjacent well induced by the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fracturing bedding fractures was constructed.Numerical simulation analyses were conducted to evaluate the evolution of fiber-optic strain in the horizontal adjacent well,confirming the correctness of the observed evolution characteristics.The presence of a"wedge-shaped"tensile strain convergence zone in the fiber-optic strain waterfall plot,accompanied by two compressive strain convergence zones,indicates the initiation and propagation of bedding fractures during the fracturing process.These findings provide valuable insights for interpreting distributed fiber-optic data in shale fracturing field applications.
