With the continuous increase of coal mining depth, the threat of coal mine water disasters has also increased. Coal mine water disasters will bring great losses to the mine, such as mechanical and electrical equipment rust or damage, if serious, it will lead to casualties. In most cases, the mine rescue work is very difficult after the occurrence of water disasters, and it is very difficult to drain water for a short time.

The ultra-deep strata in China underwent two extensional-convergent cycles in the Meso-Neoproterozoic Era and the Early Paleozoic Era respectively, with the tectonic-sedimentary differentiation producing the spatially adjacent source-reservoir assemblages. There are diverse large-scale carbonate reservoirs such as mound-beach, dolomite, karst fracture-vug, fractured karst and faulted zone, as well as over-pressured clastic rock and fractured bedrock reservoirs. Hydrocarbons were accumulated in multiple stages, accompanied by adjusting and finalizing in the late stage. The distribution of hydrocarbons is controlled by high-energy beach zone, regional unconformity, paleo-high and large-scale fault zone. The ultra-deep strata endow oil and gas resources as 33% of the remaining total resources, suggesting an important successive domain for hydrocarbon development in China. The large-scale pool-forming geologic units and giant hydrocarbon enrichment zones in ultra-deep strata are key and promising prospects for delivering successive discoveries. The geological conditions and enrichment zone prediction of ultra-deep oil and gas are key issues of petroleum geology.展开更多

文摘The Zhaotong national shale gas demonstration area in Yunnan(hereinafter referred to as demonstration area)is China's third largest national shale gas production base after ChangningeWeiyuan in Sichuan and Fuling in Chongqing.And after more than ten years of deep and careful cultivation,a series of important achievements have been obtained in the exploration and development.From the perspective of exploration and development history,theory and technology,this paper systematically summarizes the exploration discovery process and productivity construction progress of shale gas in the demonstration area,expounds the geological exploration theories and key technologies of mountain shale gas,and predicts their development prospect and direction.And the following research results are obtained.First,the exploration and development in the demonstration area has gone through five development stages,and so far,three major productivity construction zones have been formed,including Huangjinba and Zijinba middleedeep shale gas zones and Taiyang shallow shale gas zone,with cumulative proved geological reserves more than 3100×10^(8) m^(3) and cumulative gas production more than 72×10^(8) m^(3).It has been constructed into the third largest green shale gas demonstration base in China.Second,the“multi-field coordination and multi-element coupling”mountain shale gas enrichment,accumulation and occurrence theory of“sedimentary background controlling source rock and reservoir,reworking intensity controlling preservation,and three-dimensional sealing controlling enrichment”is put forward innovatively,and the“three-dimensional sealing system”accumulation model of extrabasinal shallow shale gas is established.Third,a series of zone selection and evaluation technologies for mountain shale gas in strongly reworked complex structural areas have been developed,and the concept of geologyeengineering integration has first been adopted to create transparent shale gas reservoirs and cultivate high-yield wells.A major exploration breakthrough has been achieved from marginal basin medium deep shale gas layers to extrabasin ultra shallow to medium shallow ones,and domestic first large-scale monoblock shallow shale gas field with reserves over 2570×10^(8) m^(3) has been discovered.Fourth,a landmark technological achievement and efficient development model with geologyeengineering integration and shale geomechanical evaluation as the core has been formed,which leads the clean,green and efficient exploration and development of mountain shale gas.In conclusion,it is necessary to implement the exploration strategic idea of“two outgoing”in the demonstration area,i.e.,“walking out of the stable area of the basin and marching into the complex structure areas in the Dianqianbei Depression”and“walking out of the WufengeLongmaxi Formation and exploring other layers for breakthrough”.What's more,it is recommended to carry out the double-layer stereoscopic horizontal well pattern deployment of“Leping Formation CBM(coal measure gas)þLongmaxi Formation shale gas”appropriately in a large scale,so as to establish a new integrated development model for the three-dimensional efficient development of mountain shale gas and CBM.
文摘PetroChina Changqing Oilfield Company(hereinafter referred to as Changqing Oilfield)built the largest oil and gas production base of China in the Ordos Basin in 2013,achieving the yearly natural gas production of 375×10^(8) m^(3) in 2015.For the further sustainable and stable production and quality and benefit improvement,such great achievements made in the 12th Five-Year Plan were first summarized,and the relevant favorable conditions for natural gas development were also analyzed as follows:abundant natural gas resources;increasingly mature E&P technologies;continuously improved delicacy management;and a surging demand for natural gas.Then,challenges to natural gas development were also discussed,including obvious deterioration of natural gas resources;diminished capacity of stable production of produced gasfields;increasing number of low-yield wells;and prominent supplyedemand contradiction in present natural gas market.Finally,its prospect in the 13th Five-Year Plan was studied:to carry out natural gas exploration with focus on Upper Paleozoic tight gas,Lower Paleozoic carbonate rocks,and new areas and new domains,so as to achieve rapid growth of natural gas reserves and orderly replacement in exploration domains;to make rational development planning with focus on the stable production of mature gasfields;and to enhance tight gas recovery and strengthen capacity building in new areas,so as to achieve a steady rise of annual gas production in the giant gas province.It is expected that by the end of 13th Five-Year Plan period,Changqing Oilfield will achieve its annual gas production of up to 400×10^(8) m^(3).

文摘Lunar exploration is deemed crucial for uncovering the origins of the Earth-Moon system and is the first step for advancing humanity’s exploration of deep space.Over the past decade,the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program(CLEP),also known as the Chang’e(CE)Project,has achieved remarkable milestones.It has successfully developed and demonstrated the engineering capability required to reach and return from the lunar surface.Notably,the CE Project has made historic firsts with the landing and on-site exploration of the far side of the Moon,along with the collection of the youngest volcanic samples from the Procellarum KREEP Terrane.These achievements have significantly enhanced our understanding of lunar evolution.Building on this success,China has proposed an ambitious crewed lunar exploration strategy,aiming to return to the Moon for scientific exploration and utilization.This plan encompasses two primary phases:the first crewed lunar landing and exploration,followed by a thousand-kilometer scale scientific expedition to construct a geological cross-section across the lunar surface.Recognizing the limitations of current lunar exploration efforts and China’s engineering and technical capabilities,this paper explores the benefits of crewed lunar exploration while leveraging synergies with robotic exploration.The study refines fundamental lunar scientific questions that could lead to significant breakthroughs,considering the respective engineering and technological requirements.This research lays a crucial foundation for defining the objectives of future lunar exploration,emphasizing the importance of crewed missions and offering insights into potential advancements in lunar science.
文摘The presence of seam gas in the form of methane or carbon dioxide presents a hazard to underground coal mining operations.In-seam drilling has been undertaken for the past three decades for gas drainage to reduce the risk of gas outburst and lower the concentrations of seam gas in the underground ventilation.The drilling practices have reflected the standards of the times and have evolved with the development of technology and equipment and the needs to provide a safe mining environment underground.Early practice was to adapt equipment from other felds,with rotary drilling being the only form of drilling available.This form of drainage allowed various levels of gas drainage coverage but with changing emphasis,research and development within the coal industry has created specifc equipment,technology and practices to accurately place in-seam boreholes to provide effcient and effective gas drainage.Research into gas content determination established a standard for the process and safe levels for mining operations to continue.Surveying technology improved from the wire-line,single-shot Eastman survey instruments which was time-dependent on borehole depth to electronic instruments located in the drill string which transmitted accurate survey data to the drilling crew without time delays.This allowed improved directional control and increased drilling rates.Directional drilling technology has now been established as the industry standard to provide effective gas drainage drilling.Exploration was identifed as an additional beneft with directional drilling as it has the ability to provide exploration data from long boreholes.The ability of the technology to provide safe and reliable means to investigate the need for inrush protection and water drainage ahead of mining has been established.Directional drilling technology has now been introduced to the Chinese coal industry for gas drainage through a practice of auditing,design,supply,training and ongoing support.Experienced drilling crews can offer site specifc gas drainage drilling services utilising the latest equipment and technology.

文摘Exploration of the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic formations in the Sichuan Basin starts from the 1950s,and is tortuous and complex.To summarize the exploration experiences is of great significance of reference for exploration of oil and gas in deep carbonate rocks of the Sichuan Basin.Gas accumulation in the Anyue oversize gasfield is chiefly controlled by the Deyang-Anyue intra-platform rift and central Sichuan paleouplift.The intra-platform rift controls the scale hydrocarbon generation center and effective hydrocarbon plays.The Anyue gasfield is characterized by near-source hydrocarbon accumulation.The marginal zone of intra-platform rift and high part of the paleouplift control the scale distribution of favorable facies belts of reservoir development,and overlapped by paleokarstic reformation,the reservoirs are widely distributed.The intra-platform rift and paleouplift jointly control formation of the scale traps and hydrocarbon enrichment.Gas reservoir features and major controlling factors for hydrocarbon accumulation have some differences in the main play strata,such as Longwangmiao Formation,and Member 4 and Member 2 of Dengying Formation.The gas reservoir in the Longwangmiao Formation is a lithologic gas reservoir under the tectonic setting,and the inherited paleouplift is a key for reservoir formation and hydrocarbon accumulation.The gas reservoir in the Member 4 of Dengying Formation is mainly controlled by large structural-stratigraphic composite traps,and the gas reservoir in the Member 2 of Dengying Formation is the structural trap.Distribution of the large gasfields in the Dengying Formation is controlled by the intra-platform rift,near-source hydrocarbon-reservoir configuration controlled by the ancient erosion plane and stratigraphic sealing in the updip direction.For exploration and development of the Anyue gasfield,four series of technologies are developed,namely,reservoir seismic fine description technology,well logging fine evaluation technology of gas layers,fast drilling technology of complex strata,and stimulation technology for high temperature and high pressure gas layers.Technical progresses provide powerful guarantee for efficient exploration and development of the oversize gasfields.

文摘The Qingcheng oilfield,the largest shale oil field in China,was discovered in 2019 in source rock of Chang 7 Member of Mesozoic Yanchang Formation,Changqing Oilfield in Ordos Basin,with newly increased proven geological reserves of 358 million tons,predicted geological reserves of 693 million tons,and a total of 1.051 billion tons of shale oil resources.This achieves a historic breakthrough in exploration of shale oil in Chang 7 Member.In recent years,focusing on key issues,such as whether there develop sweet spots in source rock,whether commercial oil production capacity can be formed,and whether scale-effective development can be achieved,studies about geological conditions for shale oil accumulation have been continuously carried out,key supporting technologies have been developed,and a series of theoretical innovations and technological breakthroughs have been achieved in oil exploration in source rocks.The results indicate that shale oil accumulation in Chang 7 Member is controlled by following factors.Firstly,lacustrine black shale,dark mudstone and other high-quality source rocks lay a material foundation for shale oil formation.Secondly,sandy deposits intercalated within black shale and dark mudstones are exploration sweet spots,and sandbody combination types are controlled by morphology of bottom of the lacustrine basin.Thirdly,reservoir properties are good due to development of micro-nano pore throats.Finally,reservoirs with high oil saturation and high gas-oil ratio are formed due to high-intensity oil charging in source rock.Effective matching of multiple factors is a key for shale oil accumulation in Chang 7 Member in Ordos Basin.Through innovation of key supporting technologies,exploration and development technologies for shale oil are developed,and substantial breakthrough on exploration and development of shale oil is realized.The first application of logging-seismic combination technology in loess plateau improves significantly quality of 3D seismic data,which effectively guides prediction of sandy sweet spots.Three-quality well logging technology is used for further evaluation of geological and engineering sweet spots of shale oil.With volumetric fracturing technology based on precise segmentation of long horizontal wells,initial daily oil production of individual well is increased from previously 10 tons to more than 18 tons.The exploration breakthrough in source rocks in Chang 7 Member in Qingcheng oilfield provides an important resource base for the second accelerated development of Changqing Oilfield.It is predicated that oil production from shale in Chang 7 Member in Qingcheng oilfield will reach three million tons in 2022 and five million tons in 2025.
