Temperature influence or geothermal effect is pervasive in the carbon dioxide geological sequestration , GIP (gas in place) estimation, and the Coal Mine Methane (CMM) degasification process. The temperature effects on the adsorption process are not explicitly considered in previous gas diffusion tests. This study seeks to treat the adsorption–diffusion process as a unified process and then investigate the temperature influence effect on this process. Isothermal tests under different constant temperatures show that 1) Langmuir constant-a is independent of temperature, and Langmuir constant-b can be treated as a negative linear function of temperature in engineering applications. Two groups of diffusion tests were conducted: diffusion under constant temperature and diffusion with increasing temperature. The diffusion tests show that 2) for the diffusion process with increasing temperature, the equivalent diffusion coefficient (D eq ) increases with increasing temperature, and this relationship can be described by the revised Arrhenius-style equation. 3) For the diffusion process under constant temperature, the diffusion coefficient (D) is dependent on temperature and independent of adsorption equilibrium pressure . The relationship between diffusion coefficient and temperature can also be described using the revised Arrhenius-style equation. 4) Diffusion coefficients range from 8.53 × 10 −8 cm 2 /s to 1.97 × 10 −7 cm 2 /s when temperature rises from 30 °C to 90 °C.

Considering the complexity of floor damage in coal mining, based on the summary of measured data of typical damage degree of coal floor nation-wide in China, this paper figures out that damage degree of coal floor is closely linked to six major factors, including depth of coal seam, dip angle of coal seam, thickness of coal seam, dip length of coal face, anti-damage ability of the floor and fractured zone. The author applies rough set theory, Bayesian theory, and theory of Nonlinear Subjects, through Excel, Weka and UltraEdit software, to constructing prediction model based on Naive Bayes Classifier, making the prediction of damage degree of floor accurate. By training and predicting samples, the conclusion was found that prediction with high accuracy based on Naive Bayes Classifier is not only supported by reliable theory, but of relatively practical application value on the spot.

In this paper, numerical and semi-analytical investigations were conducted to understand the hydraulic fracturing operation in the tight gas reservoir only identified by the code A7 in the North German Basin. Two simulators, FLAC3Dplus (numerical, full 3D model) and MFrac (semi-analytical, modified model based on the conventional pseudo-3D model), were used to model the fracturing operations including fracture propagation, proppant transport and settling. A comparison of the two simulators was carried out through simulations. Meanwhile, the function of the geological barrier integrity in A7 was also studied and confirmed. The simulations were based on the history matching of the in situ measured well head pressure. At the end of the simulation, a long fracture (length ≫ height) was modeled by both simulators. Although the results express some differences in the modeled fracture length and width (average), their results for fracture pressure, fluid leak off and proppant distribution are comparable. That means they would provide similar productivity in the later production. Investigation of the geological barrier integrity confirms that the cap rock, formed from rock salt and anhydrite, normally has higher minimum horizontal stress and lower permeability providing enough resistance to prevent the fracture from propagating in the vertical direction of the cap rocks. The case study reveals that, even when the injection volume was increased 10 times the initial volume, the integrity of the cap rocks could not be broken. Despite the presence of interbedded shale formations, in the reservoir as those of the cap rock an impediment function, if their thicknesses are too small to prevent their breakage and the injection volume too large for them to resist fracturing.

With the increase in the world’s energy consumption and the change in climate, unconventional energy resources become more and more popular. Since geological formations of low or ultra-low permeability are usually involved, hydraulic fracturing is one of the most important tools for their exploitation. The objective of this paper is to investigate hydraulic fracturing and its hydro-mechanical influences on different types of georeservoirs, including tight gas, oil, and geothermal reservoirs. Based on the previous work of hydraulic fracturing simulation with FLAC3Dplus, the multi-phase multi-component flow simulator TOUGH2MP is coupled for the numerical study. A new coupling approach is designed with special consideration of the H2M-coupled process in different types of georeservoirs. For the simulation, a generic 3D ¼ model (200 × 300 × 200 m, consisting of 50 m caprock, 100 m reservoir formation, and 50 m base rock) is adopted. The simulations are run under comparable reservoir and operative conditions. The results show that fracture propagation and proppant concentration are comparable with a short period of slurry injection (80 min × 6 m3/min). The fracturing fluid does not penetrate deep into the formation. Due to the high compressibility of gas, the induced pore pressure is much lower than that in oil and geothermal reservoirs, although the final leak-off ratio is comparable. The hydraulic fracturing causes stress reorientation in georeservoirs. According to the criterion of 5° stress reorientation, the minimum fracture spacing for a multiple fracture system in the assumed geothermal reservoir is 73 m, while that in an oil and gas reservoir is 66 and 60 m, respectively. This work expands on the numerical simulator as well as the understanding of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional georeservoirs. The results of this study can be used further to optimize the fracture spacing in a multiple hydraulic fracture system in different reservoir types.
