Experimental investigation on hydraulic fracturing under self-excited pulse loading

Xu Gao et al.

Summary: This research applied pulse loading to fracturing similar coal specimens through a self-developed self-excited pulse oscillator (SPO). The differences in fracturing failure morphology, pressure-time curve, and acoustic emission information between pulse hydraulic fracturing (PHF) and traditional hydraulic fracturing (THF) were comprehensively compared. The study found that fracturing failure specimens under pulse loading show a more complex crack propagation pattern. PHF maintains a longer duration at the pressure stabilization stage and owns a minor initiation pressure, indicating that more micro-cracks can be generated due to fatigue damage. The self-excited pulse loading induced by SPO shares similar effects on fracturing with the pulse loading provided by a pulsating pump.

A Study of Variation in the Initiation Pressure and Fracture Distribution Patterns of Raw Coal in SC-CO2 Fracturing Under the True Tri-axial System

Yiyu Lu et al.

Summary: This study conducted experiments on the fracturing of coal using a true tri-axial testing system with supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) as the fracturing fluid. The results showed that compared to hydraulic fracturing, SC-CO2 reduces the pressure required to initiate fractures by approximately 32-41%. This reduction is attributed to the increased percolation and pore pressure effects of SC-CO2, which in combination with the highly developed pore/fracture structure of coal, leads to the formation of a complex fracture network. The fractal dimension is positively correlated with the injection rate and temperature during SC-CO2 fracturing, indicating the potential for increased coalbed methane production under high injection flows and temperature.

Experimental study on mechanical properties, acoustic emission characteristics and energy evolution of coal samples after freezing with liquid nitrogen

Yapei Chu et al.

Summary: The use of liquid nitrogen fracturing technology in the petroleum/energy industry has gained interest due to its limited water consumption and non-pollution compared to conventional hydraulic fracturing. This study investigates the effects of LN2 freezing and freeze-thaw on coal samples by analyzing their mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics. The results show that LN2 freezing and freeze-thaw can damage the coal samples' structure, decrease their P-wave velocity and uniaxial compressive strength, and reduce acoustic emission events and energy.

Three-dimensional continuous-discrete pore-fracture mixed seepage model and hydro-mechanical coupling model to simulate hydraulic fracturing

Chengzeng Yan et al.

Summary: This paper presents a three-dimensional continuous-discrete seepage mixed model that considers both fracture seepage and pore seepage, and dynamically updates the node sharing connection of neighboring elements during fracture propagation. The simulation results demonstrate that variations in in-situ stress and approach angle are the most important factors controlling the fracture propagation behavior.

Experimental research on hydraulic fracture propagation in group of thin coal seams

Haifeng Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanism of fracture extension in multi-layer combined fracturing in thin coal seam groups. Experiments were conducted to explore the fracture propagation under different perforating locations, fracturing fluid displacement, and viscosity. The study reveals that the perforating location and hydraulic factors play a significant role in fracture propagation. Moreover, it was found that the interface between coal and sandstone facilitates fracture penetration and the formation of complex fractures. Increasing fracturing fluid displacement and reducing viscosity also enhance the formation of branch fractures and activation of natural fractures.

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Perforation Layout Parameters on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation

Shaojie Zuo et al.

Summary: Horizontal wellbore fracturing technology is an effective method for stimulating reservoirs and increasing energy production, with perforation layout parameters being crucial in influencing the fracturing effect. The study found that the principal stress direction angle varies in different stages as the distance from the fracturing hole increases, leading to a common relationship between perforation length, initial angle, ground stress difference, and suitable oriented angle.

New Mechanical Model of Slotting-Directional Hydraulic Fracturing and Experimental Study for Coalbed Methane Development

Jianyu Zhong et al.

Summary: This study proposed a new slotting-directional hydraulic fracturing (NSDHF) mechanical model based on theoretical mechanisms, and validated the accuracy of the model through experiments. The research found that the influence of non-uniform pore water pressure on directional distance was significant, exceeding the effect of stress interference between adjacent slotted holes. The verified NSDHF model can be further used to study the impact of various factors on directional distance in low-permeability coal mines.

Review on Coal Bed Methane Recovery Theory and Technology: Recent Progress and Perspectives

Weiguo Liang et al.

Summary: Coal bed methane (CBM) is a primary clean energy source found in coal seams, but its recovery ratio is very low due to strong adsorption and low permeability. A theory of enhanced CBM recovery by energy stimulation, including SCCO2 fracturing and thermal fracturing, has been proposed. Experimental results show that SCCO2 has higher transportation capacity than gaseous CO2 in coal beds, and total permeability decreases as its content increases in the system with CH4.

The abundance of methoxyl groups influences coal-bed methane yield, and carbon isotopic enrichments from microbial methylotrophy explain the carbon-13 content differences between microbial methane and coals or conventional hydrocarbon deposits.
