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 ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

A Geomechanical Study of the Mississippian Boone Formation [PDF]

, 2013
The Boone Formation in northwest Arkansas is a chert-limestone sequence analogous to the subsurface Mississippi Lime reservoir in parts of Oklahoma and Kansas. It has low permeability and produces via horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

Seismic Response to Injection Well Stimulation in a High-Temperature, High-Permeability Reservoir [PDF]

, 2019
Fluid injection into the Earth's crust can induce seismic events that cause damage to local infrastructure but also offer valuable insight into seismogenesis.

Sedimentary Sequence, Evolution Model and Petroleum Geological Significance of Forced Regression: A Case Study of the Miocene Zhujiang Formation of the Pearl River Mouth Basin in the Northern South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Using 2D/3D seismic data and a large number of drilling and logging data and applying sequence stratigraphy, seismic sedimentology, and petroleum geology concepts, the characteristics of the sedimentary sequence of the forced regression have been ...

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 ...

Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Quantification of potential macroseismic effects of the induced seismicity that might result from hydraulic fracturing for shale gas exploitation in the UK [PDF]

, 2014
The furore that has arisen in the UK over induced microseismicity from ‘fracking’ for shale gas development, which has resulted in ground vibrations strong enough to be felt, requires the urgent development of an appropriate regulatory framework.

A Needle in a Haystack: Landscape Survey and Archaeological Detection Experiments in Apalachee Bay

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a pilot landscape‐scale seismic survey undertaken in Apalachee Bay, Florida, across a submerged landscape that contains dozens of Pre‐Contact sites. In addition to the goals of improving the geophysical and remote sensing ground model for this submerged landscape, the survey also sought to undertake the first
