Energy-Efficient Fracturing Based on Stress-Coupled Perforation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Hydraulic fracturing is one of the key technologies for reservoir stimulation in low-permeability/unconventional oil and gas fields. In response to the high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions caused by extreme flow-limiting perforation in hydraulic fracturing, stress-coupled perforation technology has been proposed to promote low-energy ...

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract The main characteristics of Jimsar shale oil reservoir are of complex structure, strong heterogeneity and great difficulty in fracturing. It is mainly produced by volume fracturing technology, which is easy to form complex fracture networks. At present, the design and parameter optimization of fracturing scheme are not targeted,

Experimental evidence of electrification processes at the 2009 LAquila earthquake mainshock [PDF]
, 2015 Two types of coseismic magnetic field events are simultaneously observed: transient offset events and magnetic field signal that occurred at the destructive, Mw6.1 LAquila earthquake (EQ) mainshock. The offset event, conventionally interpreted as a signature of piezomagnetic effects, however could not be ascribed as such.

Fracture network characterization with deep generative model based stochastic inversion [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The distribution of fracture network is crucial to characterize the behaviors of flow field and solute transport, especially for enhanced geothermal systems, as fractures provide preferential flow paths. However, estimating the parameters of the fracture networks and quantifying their uncertainties based on observing data is a nontrivial task because ...

Prebiotic Interconversion of Pyruvate and Lactate over Zeolite‐Supported Ni Catalyst
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.Submarine hydrothermal vents harbor diverse microbial communities and have long intrigued researchers studying the origin of life. Transition metals in these environments can be reduced by serpentinization, potentially forming zeolite‐supported transition metal nanoparticles capable of driving prebiotic chemistry.
