At first, a highly precise tribometer composed of a superconducting fiber wrapping around a cylinder made of pure Cu was immersed in liquid nitrogen. The force and displacement resolutions of the experimental system were as high as 0.01 mN and 0.03 ~m, respectively. The NbTi fibers with diameters ranging from 22.9 to 115 ~m were used in the experiments, and their frictional behaviors in three media, i.e., liquid nitrogen, air and water, were systemically investigated. It was found that the frictional force in air showed a remarkable size effect. The existence of water medium could significantly reduce the frictional force, but could not eliminate the size effect. For the samples with the same diameter, the frictional force in liquid nitrogen was about 1.4 times of that in air, accompanied with remark- able stick-slip phenomenon. Notably, the fiber＇s frictional behavior in liquid nitrogen showed no dependence on diameter. In order to interpret these phenomena, the frictional behaviors of the fibers in air, water and liquid nitrogen were simulated using a modified spring-slider model, by taking into account the influence of hydrophilicity on surface roughness, and the influence of surface roughness on the fiber＇s frictional behavior. The simulation results were consistent with the experimental data qualitatively.展开更多

The single-phase forced convection heat transfer correlation on the sides of the MTHE tubes was proposed and compared with previous experimental data in the Reynolds number range of 500—1 800. The average deviation of the correlation in calculating the Nusselt number was about 6.59%. The entrance effect in the thermal entrance region was discussed. In the same range of Reynolds number, the pressure drop and friction coefficient were found to be considerably higher than those predicted by the conventional correlations. The product of friction factor and Reynolds number was also a constant, but much higher than the conventional.展开更多

However, the important problem existing presently is that the significance of the financial management is mostly ignored in the small and micro-sized enterprises, pursuing the short-term economic benefit blindly, which decreases the risk resistance of the small and micro-sized enterprises severely, so that a mass of the small and micro-sized enterprises with poor survivability and extremely short life cycle are occurred.

文摘Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry technology was employed to investigate the planar three-dimensional velocity field and the process of proppant entry into branch fractures in a fracture configuration of“vertical main fracture-vertical branch fracture”intersecting at a 90°angle.This study analyzed the effects of pumping rate,fracturing fluid viscosity,proppant particle size,and fracture width on the transport behavior of proppant into branch fractures.Based on the deflection behavior of proppant,the main fractures can be divided into five regions:pre-entry transition,pre-entry stabilization,deflection entry at the fracture mouth,rear absorption entry,and movement away from the fracture mouth.Proppant primarily deflects into the branch fracture at the fracture mouth,with a small portion drawn in from the rear of the intersection.Increasing the pumping rate,reducing the proppant particle size,and widening the branch fracture are conducive to promoting proppant deflection into the branch.With increasing fracturing fluid viscosity,the ability of proppant to enter the branch fracture first improves and then declines,indicating that excessively high viscosity is unfavorable for proppant entry into the branch.During field operations,a high pumping rate and micro-to small-sized proppant can be used in the early stage to ensure effective placement in the branch fractures,followed by medium-to large-sized proppant to ensure adequate placement in the main fracture and enhance the overall conductivity of the fracture network.
文摘Shale gas production involves complex gas-water two-phase flow,with flow patterns in proppant-filled fractures playing a critical role in determining production efficiency.In this study,3D geometric models of 40/70 mesh ceramic particles and quartz sand proppant clusters were elaborated using computed tomography(CT)scanning.These models were used to develop a numerical simulation framework based on the lattice Boltzmann method(LBM),enabling the investigation of gas-water flow behavior within proppant-filled fractures under varying driving forces and surface tensions.Simulation results at a closure pressure of 15 MPa have revealed that ceramic particles exhibit a simpler and more porous internal structure than quartz sand of the same size.Under identical flow conditions,ceramic proppants demonstrate higher fluid replacement efficiency.Replacement efficiency increases with higher porosity,greater driving force,and lower surface tension.Furthermore,fluid displacement is strongly influenced by pore geometry:flow is faster in straighter and wider channels,with preferential movement through larger pores forming dominant flow paths.The replacement velocity exhibits a characteristic time evolution,initially rapid,then gradually decreasing,correlating positively with the development of these dominant channels.
文摘To accurately analyze proppant transport in rough intersecting fractures and elucidate the interaction mechanisms among liquid,particles,and rough walls,this study reconstructed a numerical model of fractures in inhomogeneous reservoirs with varying brittleness index(BI).Various auto-correlation Gaussian rough fracture models were created using Matlab to assess roughness through the fractal dimension method.This research innovatively combined Boolean operations to establish three-dimensional rough fracture models,incorporating(Computational Fluid Dynamics)CFD-DEM(Discrete Element Method)with a bidirectional method for cosimulation.The proppant transport in fractures was categorized into three zones based on the difference in the turbulent kinetic energy.Artificially induced fracture roughness increases fluid retention and turbulence,causing plugging effects and limiting proppant flow into branch fractures.Additionally,compared with the superior deposition and significant support effects of the spherical proppant,the low-sphericity proppant traveled farther under fracturing fluid,inducing more pronounced plugging near curved fracture intersections;the variation in fracture intersection angles primarily impacted the wall shear stress within the flow field,indicating smaller angles led to higher shear energy at the intersection.Compared with the intersection angle of 30°,the height and area deposited in the 90 branch fracture increased by 52.25%and 65.33%,respectively:notably,injecting proppant from smaller to larger particles(S:M:L)and a low velocity effectively ensured fracture conductivity near the wellbore at joint roughness coefficient(JRC)≥46 while achieving satis-factory placement in the branch fracture,making it a recommended approach.

文摘Ceramic spheres,typically with a particle diameter of less than 0.8 mm,are frequently utilized as a critical proppant material in hydraulic fracturing for petroleum and natural gas extraction.Porous ceramic spheres with artificial inherent pores are an important type of lightweight proppant,enabling their transport to distant fracture extremities and enhancing fracture conductivity.However,the focus frequently gravitates towards the low-density advantage,often overlooking the pore geometry impacts on compressive strength by traditional strength evaluation.This paper numerically bypasses such limitations by using a combined finite and discrete element method(FDEM)considering experimental results.The mesh size of the model undergoes validation,followed by the calibration of cohesive element parameters via the single particle compression test.The stimulation elucidates that proppants with a smaller pore size(40μm)manifest crack propagation evolution at a more rapid pace in comparison to their larger-pore counterparts,though the influence of pore diameter on overall strength is subtle.The inception of pores not only alters the trajectory of crack progression but also,with an increase in porosity,leads to a discernible decline in proppant compressive strength.Intriguingly,upon crossing a porosity threshold of 10%,the decrement in strength becomes more gradual.A denser congregation of pores accelerates crack propagation,undermining proppant robustness,suggesting that under analogous conditions,hollow proppants might not match the strength of their porous counterparts.This exploration elucidates the underlying mechanisms of proppant failure from a microstructural perspective,furnishing pivotal insights that may guide future refinements in the architectural design of porous proppant.

文摘Fracture conductivity is a key factor to determine the fracturing effect.Optimizing proppant particle size distribution is critical for ensuring efficient proppant placement within fractures.To address challenges associated with the low-permeability reservoirs in the Lufeng Oilfield of the South China Sea—including high heterogeneity,complex lithology,and suboptimal fracturing outcomes—JRC(Joint Roughness Coefficient)was employed to quantitatively characterize the lithological properties of the target formation.A CFD-DEM(Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method)two-way coupling approach was then utilized to construct a fracture channel model that simulates proppant transport dynamics.Theproppant particle size under different lithology was optimized.Theresults show that:(1)In rough fractures,proppant particles exhibit more chaotic migration behavior compared to their movement on smooth surfaces,thereby increasing the risk of fracture plugging;(2)Within the same particle size range,for proppants with mesh sizes of 40/70 or 20/40,fracture conductivity decreases as roughness increases.In contrast,for 30/50 mesh proppants,conductivity initially increases and then decreases with rising roughness;(3)Under identical roughness conditions,the following recommendations apply based on fracture conductivity behavior relative to proppant particle size:When JRC<46,conductivity increases with larger particle sizes,with 20/40 mesh proppant recommended;When JRC>46,conductivity decreases as particle size increases;40/70 mesh proppant is thus recommended to maintain effective conductivity;At JRC=46,conductivity first increases then decreases with increasing particle size,making 30/50mesh the optimal choice.Theresearch findings provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing fracturing designs and enhancing fracturing performance in the field.

文摘To elucidate the mechanism by which supercritical CO_(2)(SCCO_(2))-water-shale interactions during CO_(2)energized fracturing influence proppant embedment in lacustrine shale,shale samples from the Bohai Bay Basin were selected for SCCO_(2)-water-shale interaction experiments.X-ray diffraction(XRD),SEM large-area high-resolution imaging,automated mineral identification and characterization system(AMICS),and nanoindentation tests were employed to examine the micro-mechanical damage mechanisms of fracture surfaces and the evolving patterns of proppant embedment characteristics.The results reveal that:Prolonged interaction time reduces the contents of dolomite,feldspar,and clay minerals,while quartz content increases,with dolomite showing the most pronounced dissolution effect.As interaction time increases,the hardness and elasticity modulus of shale follow a power-law decay pattern,with the peak degradation rate occurring at 1 d,followed by a gradual decline of degradation velocity.Increasing interaction time results in growth in both the number and depth of embedment pits on the sample surface.After more than 3 d of interaction,clustered proppant embedment is observed,accompanied by the formation of deep embedment pits on the surface.
