      2018, 45(10):6-10.

      Abstract (1501) HTML (233) PDF 0.00 Byte (901) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:During the construction of sponge city, geological conditions always have an important influence on choosing suitable low impact development (LID) facilities. Based on the metropolitan development area of Wuhan City, the mechanism that geological conditions influence the construction of sponge city is analyzed through processing of the urban geological survey data. According to the abilities of water storage, seepage and purification, seven factors, including surface slope, formation lithology, Quaternary thickness, volume of groundwater, extent of soil contamination, vegetation cover rate and distance from the surface drainage, are chosen to build the evaluation systems. Each factor is weighted with the analytic hierarchy process, graded according to national standards or the situation in the study area, and stacked with Mapgis. The results show that most areas are suitable or comparatively suitable for sponge city construction. Formation lithology and the distance from surface drainage are two important influence factors, and the abilities of water storage and seepage should be also taken into account in deployment of low impact development facilities in sponge city construction.

      Abstract:As one method of Trenchless, HDD technology is widely used in new pipeline laying and existing pipeline repair in the fields of water supply and drainage, electric power, communications, oil and gas. The phenomenon of “overflow” is easy to occur when the HDD construction is carried out in the shallow stratum and the area where the stress of the overburden is small. This paper which combines the research status of "overflow" prevention and control technology domestic and foreign areas discusses the application of a new in-hole jet pump system design by a German company in trenchless engineering. The system sets a high-pressure jet pump system installed near the drill bit to collect cuttings formed during reaming process, thereby reducing the number of cuttings in the borehole space. The system is mainly composed of drill cuttings collection device, jet pump and connecting device, which can clean up about 98% of cuttings in the borehole. According to the needs of the project, four modes, such as borehole clearing, soft ground reaming & cleaning, combination and pipe pullback, can be used for pipeline laying. Field practice indicates that the longest drilling length can reach 122m per day associated with the system. At the same time, the existing problem is present in this paper. The screen will be blocked due to the formation of cuttings aggregation in complex formations with small diameter drilling. For the pipe pullback mode, how to change the return loop of cuttings is still the key problem to be solved in the jobsite.

      Abstract:Shield tunneling of Changsha Metro Line 5 crossed Liuyang River where the tunnel was covered with shallow overburden and the engineering properties of the whole weathered conglomerate and the upper gravel layer wer poor. Karst is developed in weathered calcareous conglomerate in the tunnel floor with the maximum height of the cavern up to 15.8 m which is filled by loose conglomerate and sandy soil. Before shield tunneling, the fast-controllable sleeve valve pipe grouting technology was used to treat the karst efficiently on a platform built on the river. During crossing operations, several key technologies had been adopted to deal with the complex conditions, such as shallow under water overburden, water rich formation, karst developed floors, closeness to the bridge pile foundation, to avoid risks effectively, and the engineering experience is worthy of reference.

      Abstract (893) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (908) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to explore the process and mechanism of high pressure water jet cutting and breaking natural gas hydrate reservoir of the South China Sea, LS—DYNA3D code had been used to simulate the process of water jet breakup of hydrates in submerged state. The effect of different jet velocities on the crushing effect of hydrate bearing sediments under high pressure water jet was studied. The erosion depth increases linearly with the jet velocity. The erosion volume of hydrates sediment is the result of axial erosion and radial erosion. The greater the jet velocity is, the axial and radial erosion of hydrate deposits are enhanced, and the increasing rate of the erosion volume of the hydrate deposits is increased.

    • Influence of Ground Stress on Fracture Propagation of Split Grouting in Oil Shale Formation

      2018, 45(10):32-39.

      Abstract (817) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (811) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The difference in ground stress has an important influence on the fracture propagation of split grouting. Aiming at the water stoppage in the oil shale in-situ retorting zone, this paper proposes a new method combining directional perforation and split grouting to guide fracture propagation. According to the oil shale parameters, RFPA was used to analyze the influence of perforation on fracture propagation, and further analyze the influence of ground stress difference on fracture propagation with perforation. The results show that compared with non-perforated grouting, perforated grouting can direct splitting and reduce grouting pressure; When the stress in the x direction is greater than the stress in the y direction, a large number of fractures generated between the perforations connect the perforations to form a curtain;When the stress in the x direction is less than the stress in the y direction, as the stress difference gradually increases, the fracture propagation gradually deflects from the x direction to the y direction,until the stress difference becomes the main factor affecting fracture propagation, no fractures are formed between the perforations and the perforations cannot be connected. This study can provide a reference for the water stop project in the oil shale in-situ retorting zone.

      Abstract (1323) HTML (303) PDF 0.00 Byte (822) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Some geophysical methods are used to detect the bottom simulating reflector (BSR) in investigation of marine gas hydrate resources, and then the distribution scope and depth of gas hydrate is identified according to the position of BSR. But drilling samples demonstrate that BSR can not entirely and accurately reflect the depth of gas hydrate. A new type of combined wireline drilling tool has been developed, which can not only use logging-while-drilling tools to detect formation resistivity to determine whether gas hydrate exists in the formation, but can also be switched to wire-line core samplers to take cores by use of the wire-line fishing system. Through design, trial-manufacture and laboratory tests, the feasibility of the gas-hydrate detection and drilling sampler has been verified, which lays a foundation for the subsequent field experiments.

    • Study on Sealing Slurry Formulation for In-situ Grouting in Oil Shale

      2018, 45(10):77-82.

      Abstract (847) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (826) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In the process of in-situ exploitation of oil shale, the production well communicates with the surrounding environment, and the oil generated in situ easily penetrates into the surrounding formation to cause environmental pollution. At present, there is no economical in-situ sealing technology to solve this problem. Based on the principle of grouting closure, this paper proposes to use a non-polluting and low-cost ultra-fine cement grouting formula to seal the mining area. After optimization of a series of formulas, it is finally determined that the optimum formula is made up with water-cement ratio of 0.8, micro-silica powder content of 6%, bentonite content of 2%, and polycarboxylate water-reducing agent content of 0.4%. The performance of the formula basically meets the engineering requirements.

      Abstract (770) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (944) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Shale gas reservoirs in the northwestern Hunan are dense, with low porosity and low permeability, and it is necessary to fracture the reservoir. The proppant-carrying capacity of the fracture fluid is the key to successful fracturing. In view of the characteristics of shale gas reservoirs in northwestern Hunan, the rheological properties and viscoelastic sand-carrying experiments were conducted to optimize the concentration of SDBS used as the main sand-carrying medium. The results show that the proppant-carrying fluid belongs to pseudo plastic fluids. When the concentration of SDBS is 0.03%, it provides the smallest fluidity index, the largest consistency coefficient, and the largest ratio of the structural viscosity/the flow resistance, and is ideal for the shale reservoir fracturing in the northwestern Hunan. The viscoelastic sand carrying capacity of the proppant-carrying liquid is related to its structural viscosity, and the structural viscosity (ηs) and precipitation rate (v) satisfy v=-0.016ηs +2.304.

      Abstract:The tailings dam is one of the important mining facilities, and it will cause incalculable losses in case of loss of instability since it contains huge volumes of water and tailings inside. Based on the fluid-solid coupling theory, a finite element calculation model for tailings dams is established while taking into account of the drainage wells in the dam. The distribution of the saturation lines is simulated under different working conditions in the dam. The stress and strain fields of the tailings dam are analyzed under the static stability and fluid-solid coupling. Moreover, the simulated position of the saturation line is compared with the monitoring results. The relationship between the changing rules of the saturation lines the dam stability is also illustrated with the stability of the tailings dam assessed under different working conditions. Finally, fluid-solid coupling of the seepage field and the stress field is carried out to simulate the stress displacement distribution within the dam for 365 days, which provides a reliable basis and technical support for the construction and safety operation of the tailings dam.

      Abstract (832) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (796) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:As one method of Trenchless, HDD technology is widely used in new pipeline laying and existing pipeline repair in the fields of water supply and drainage, electric power, communication, oil and gas associated with its advantages of low environmental interference and high construction efficiency. This paper presents the leachate diversion governance project of a landfill in the UK by HDD. Based on the technical principle, engineering background, process, application effect and improvement measures, some practices were achieved by the authors. Field practice indicates that HDD technology can be applied to the construction of horizontal discharge holes of landfill leachate, and the construction process should be optimized according to the site conditions and process parameters. Since the landfill contains a large amount of metal waste, the wireless electromagnetic guidance is replaced by a wired guiding system, which can greatly improve the positioning accuracy of the guiding drilling trajectory. The use of forward and over-reaming and pipe laying techniques helps to reduce drag and improve laying. The comparison operation results indicate that compared with the traditional leachate shaft drainage mode, the horizontal drilling efficiency is higher and the cost input is relatively lower. However, the impact of the heterogeneity of the pile on the construction process should be fully considered in the design and construction to reduce construction risks.

      Abstract:With the further strengthening of ecological civilization construction, the concept of green exploration further deepens. The application of shallow drilling instead of trenching technology has been further popularized in the application of basic geological survey and mineral survey. To more intuitively simulate trenching with drilling information to reveal the three-dimensional structure of the geological body (ore body), three-dimensional geological modeling based on drilling data was carried out. It is believed that the information of vertical geological body exposed by shallow drilling is more abundant, based on drilling, combined with expert intervention, three-dimensional geological model of borehole control area can be quickly constructed, which is vivid, intuitive and easy to use. At the same time, through the model construction can be used to guide shallow drilling holes.

      Abstract:Drilling of the east borehole of Songliao Scientific Drilling Project (SK2) started officially in 2013 and ended in May 2018, lasting for 6 years with the final well depth reaching 7018m. There have been more than 700 contracts, more than 200 files, more than 1000 remittance records, and more than 1600 reimbursement records produced in execution of the project. So based on the LabVIEW platform, a project management system has been designed to cope with such huge amount of contracts and files, various accounting procedures, and many items involved in the SK2 project. The system can record all the contracts, documents, remittance and accounting information, and establish the link between the contract and remittance and reimbursement. It can also provide fuzzy inquiry, modification, hyperlink and so on.

      Abstract:In the desert area, the stratum stability is poor and the frictional resistance is large, resulting in long distance and large diameter pipe jacking construction for a long time. The pressure loss of slurry transportation is large. It is easy to cause formation collapse and burying. The key to the smooth jacking of the large diameter pipe jacking project in the desert area is that the slurry should have good lubrication resistance and complete wall protection. Based on this key issue, indoor trials and field application studies were carried out to develop a new type of wall-reducing slurry suitable for pipe jacking in desert areas. Kaolin polymer slurry was used as the synchronous grouting slurry for the nose and the clay-free polymer slurry was used as a follow-up slurry along the line. On the basis of lubrication resistance reduction, the synchronous grouting slurry mainly focuses on the complete wall protection function, while the follow-up grouting slurry mainly highlights the characteristics of lubrication and drag reduction, so that the lubrication and drag reducing slurry system can achieve the best lubrication and wall protection functions. The new type of wall-reducing slurry for resistance reduction was developed for the first large-diameter pipe jacking project in the desert area at the top of 7~9 in the Ulan Buh desert sand-carrying water project in Inner Mongolia. The effect was good and the jacking-in work was successfully completed. The study has improved the key technologies of the pipe jacking engineering in desert areas, solved the problem of wall protection and drag reduction, and has great social and economic benefits.

      Abstract:With the increasing demand for green environmental protection resources in the new era, geothermal resources are about to enter a large-scale development stage. At present, PDC bits are mainly used to achieve the economic and efficient access to geothermal resources. However, when drilling into high-temperature hard formations, there are problems with conventional PDC bits such as poor high-temperature resistance, slightly lower hardness than required, insufficient wear resistance. This paper summarizes the three wear mechanisms of PDC cutters: abrasive wear, impact wear, and thermal damage, which occur in drilling deep high temperature hard formations. Four methods for improving the high temperature resistance, hardness, and wear resistance of PDC cutters are described: coating technology, improvement of drilling parameters, composite drill bits and brazed cutting teeth. According to the current research situation, it is recommended that experiment on single PDC cutters be carried out from the perspective of combining the realization of independent analysis with the cutter correlation, and the design be optimized by dynamic modeling and real-time simulation of the working status.

      Abstract:The high temperature and the abrasive environment in the downhole are the common causes of seal failure of rotary seals; therefore, it is of great importance to understand the wear mechanism of elastomers under high temperature conditions in the abrasive environment to improve the life of seals. The friction and wear experiments on rubbers were carried out to analyze the wear and friction mechanism of rubbers under abrasive conditions after treatment of the fluoro rubber ring at different high temperatures. The results show that as the heating temperature of the rubber increases, the time required for the equilibrium of the friction coefficient curve decreases. The worn form of the rubber surface which was not treated at a high temperature was mainly furrow-like. At 100℃, the worn surface of the rubber was affected by the high temperature, and the furrow was reduced. At 200℃, the fluoro rubber ring surface was worn into pits, and with the maximum wear and tear. The wear of the 304 stainless steel surface changed as the heating temperature of the rubber changed: the wear form changed from the furrow to the pit in the center of the wear surface, while it changed from the pit to the furrow in the inner side.

      Abstract:Prediction is an important and difficult target during the drilling optimization process. Drawn upon the field data(comprising of a total of 28 types in 4 categories), a ROP prediction model is developed with combination of formation composition and drilling parameters. In order to increase the prediction accuracy and avoid the potential impact caused by its dimension and order of magnitude, the raw data is standardized. In addition, due to the excessive volume of the raw data, it is processed with polymer analysis and factor analysis to pick effective data, and then reduced to a prediction model of 11 input parameters and 1 output parameter. The technology of artificial neural network is used to perform the non-linearly fitting work, and the results indicate that the prediction error is less than 10%, which means the proposed prediction model can somehow provide guidance for field operations.
