Experimental investigation on the nonlinear characteristics of energy evolution and failure characteristics of coal under different gas pressures

Yi Xue et al.

Summary: This study conducted triaxial compression tests on coal under different gas pressure conditions to explore the influence mechanism of gas pressure on coal deformation, failure, and energy evolution. The mechanical properties, acoustic emission energy characteristics, and nonlinear characteristics of coal containing gas were obtained based on the test data. A theoretical formula for analyzing energy evolution was introduced and verified by test data. The research results indicate that energy rate can be used as a new effective mechanical parameter to analyze and predict the damage and failure characteristics of coal. The findings on energy dissipation characteristics and the defined ratio of dissipative energy rate and input energy rate provide insights for understanding the fracturing evolution and energy driving mechanism of coal.

A FRACTAL PERSPECTIVE ON FRACTURE INITIATION AND PROPAGATION OF RESERVOIR ROCKS UNDER WATER AND NITROGEN FRACTURING

Xin Liang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the fractal characteristics of crack propagation in hydraulic fracturing and the impact of fractal dimension of induced fractures on rock breakdown pressure. The results showed that N-2 fracturing can lower the rock breakdown pressure and induce more tortuous macro-fractures. The study suggests that crack fractal dimension is an important factor that should be considered in designing fracturing operations.

Quantitative visualization and characteristics of gas flow in 3D pore-fracture system of tight rock based on Lattice Boltzmann simulation

Peng Hou et al.

Summary: This study reconstructed and simulated the 3D pore-fracture system of tight rock to investigate the effects of micro-fracture morphology and gas rarefaction effect on gas flow and permeability. The results show that gas flow behavior is influenced by these factors, with the pore-fracture structure being more sensitive at low-pressure conditions.

3D Multi-scale Reconstruction of Fractured Shale and Influence of Fracture Morphology on Shale Gas Flow

Peng Hou et al.

Summary: Quantitative characterization of shale gas flow in fractured shale is essential in shale gas extraction. This study reconstructed 3D multi-scale structures in fractured shale using various techniques and analyzed the effects of fracture complexity and gas pressure on shale gas flow quantitatively. The results showed that fracture morphology and gas pressure greatly influenced gas flow behavior in fractured shale.

Numerical Investigation of Fracturing of Coal with Cleats Caused by Supercritical CO2 Explosion

Keming Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigates the experimental and numerical responses of coal specimens, focusing on the fracturing induced by a supercritical CO2 explosion. Cleats in the coal seam are found to absorb and reflect stress waves, hindering crack propagation. Factors such as the dip angle and aperture of the cleat, as well as the distance from the blast hole, are discussed in relation to their influence on crack propagation.
