Mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock burst in coal seam mining beneath mountainous areas
This study reveals the mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock bursts during coal mining beneath mountainous areas. The advancing working face induces nonuniform fracturing of the overburden. The detached mountain mass then undergoes a seesaw‐type rotational movement around a shifting pivot, driving the primary fracture through a characteristic “open‐close ...

Modeling proppant transport and settling in a 3D propagating fracture
A versatile multiphysics tool is presented for simulating the complex processes involved in hydraulic fracturing treatments. The model couples fracture opening and propagation, variable‐density slurry flow, and proppant particle transport within the multiphysics object‐oriented simulation environment framework, based on two‐phase mixture equations and ...

This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.

World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

This work integrates 5 years of field data from the Aquistore CCS project with a non‐isothermal THM modeling framework to explain how cold CO2 injection alters injectivity over time. The study shows that sustained cooling near the wellbore reduces effective stresses, promotes tensile micro‑cracking, and leads to semi‑reversible permeability enhancement
