Summary: This paper theoretically discusses the seismic characteristics of Permian formations, including the relationship between sandstone thickness and amplitude, tight sandstone thickness and wave frequency, as well as the relationship between sandstone and seismic wave phase. The results show that there is a correlation between sandstone thickness and seismic wavelength, and frequency variation can reflect the distribution of sand bodies.

Summary: The experiments showed that increasing the water flooding speed shortened the water-free production period, decreased the oil recovery efficiency, and increased the amount of residual oil. Higher flooding speeds formed preferential pathways, affecting sweep efficiency and resulting in more residual oil in low permeability areas.

Summary: The confinement effect of nanopores significantly influences the fluid-phase behavior of shale oil reservoirs. Understanding the phase change characteristics of fluids in nanopores is crucial for designing development plans, production systems, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods for shale oil reservoirs. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to analyze the phase behavior of single-component and hydrocarbon-CO2 mixture systems in organic nanopores. The results revealed that the confinement effect on the phase change pressure of single-component systems varied depending on the electron cloud distribution. The confinement effect became stronger as the carbon chain length of hydrocarbons increased. Furthermore, the confinement effect shrank the P-T phase envelope, making CO2 more miscible with shale oil in nanopores and reducing the adsorption of hydrocarbons on organic pore walls.

Summary: Ensuring even distribution of proppant in treatments involving multiple stages and clusters is crucial. This study proposes a correlation that accurately predicts proppant distribution and suggests that injecting more proppant at a higher rate helps allocate it evenly. However, a nonuniform distribution can occur with increased proppant diameter.

Summary: Permeability assessment of naturally fractured rocks and fractured rocks after fracturing is critical to the development of oil and gas resources. This paper establishes conventional discrete fracture network (C-DFN) and rough discrete fracture network (R-DFN) models based on the discrete fracture network (DFN) modeling method. Through the seepage numerical simulation of the fractured rocks under different DFN, the differences in permeability of the fractured rocks under different parameters and their parameter sensitivity are analyzed and discussed. The results show that unconnected and independent fractures in the fracture network may weaken the seepage capacity of the fractured rocks. The use of C-DFN to equate the fracture network in the fractured rocks may underestimate the connectivity of the fracture network. For the more realistic R-DFN, the promotion of gas flow by connectivity is dominant when connectivity is high, and the hindrance of gas flow by fracture roughness is dominant when connectivity is low or when it is a single fracture. The permeability of the fractured rocks with R-DFN is more sensitive to the parameters than that of the fractured rocks with C-DFN. The higher the connectivity and porosity of the fractured rocks, the more obvious the difference between the permeability of the fractured rocks evaluated by C-DFN and R-DFN.

Summary: In emulsion flooding processes, the flow of emulsion droplets plays a significant role in enhancing oil recovery. In this study, the mobilization of residual oil by emulsion droplets was numerically investigated using the phase field method in both a single flow region structure and porous media. The results showed that the droplet radius, interfacial tension, and wettability all influenced the flow behavior of the emulsion phase. The emulsion flow resulted in higher displacement efficiency and sweep efficiency, allowing for the recovery of trapped oil in pore corners and low permeability areas. Compared to water flooding, emulsion flooding significantly increased oil recovery in both high-permeability and low-permeability regions.
