Damage Mechanism Of Cbm Reservoirs And Double-Layered Screen Pipes In The Horizontal Well Completion, Xian Bao'an, Zhang Long, Ha Erheng Tu’Ersong, Yu Peng, Wang Kai, Zhang Yafei, Zhang Yang, Wang Sanshuai, Li Zongyuan

Coal Geology & Exploration

Coal reservoirs have the characteristics of high adsorption, low permeability, easy compression and easy breakage. At the drilling and completing stage of horizontal coalbed methane wells, coal reservoir damage often occurs and leads to a significant reduction in coal seam permeability, thereby resulting in single well production. Through experimental analysis, the solid phase particles in drilling and completion fluids for horizontal well and the solid phase components induced by fluid flow are found to block the micro-fractures in the coal reservoir, and the damage mechanism for coal reservoir is elucidated to the drilling and completion reservoir of the horizontal well …

Construction Concept Of Integrated Geological Engineering Platform For Coalbed Methane, Li Guihong, Zhao Peipei, Wu Xinbo

Coal Geology & Exploration

The production of coalbed methane (CBM) wells in China is generally low, and the CBM geological research is seriously divorced from the engineering, so it is urgent to introduce the idea of geological engineering integration, which is helpful to form a scientific engineering decision. In this paper, the idea of constructing a CBM geological engineering integration platform is proposed, and its business framework and function framework are built. Various professional software tools are integrated, such as Petrel for geological modeling, compass for drilling and completion design, MFrac for fracturing design, and CBM-SIM for reservoir numerical simulation. An integrated shared database …

Coal Geology & Exploration

In the 2D seismic area, the reservoir with a low well control degree, frontal sedimentary of the meandering river's delta and other complex lithology reservoirs, the drilling ratio of reservoirs is low when horizontal wells are implemented. The application of the geosteering technology combining the iterative updating of 3D geologic models and geologic-engineering integration has been gradually extensive. Multiple tight sandstone reservoirs, such as the Beichagou sandstone in the Shan2 3 Submember of the Shanxi Formation, develop in the Neopaleozoic coal measure at the southeastern margin of the Ordos Basin. Among them, the DJ-P37 bore field of the Daning–Jixian …

Chronic exposure of coral reefs to elevated nutrient conditions can modify the performance of the coral holobiont and shift the competitive interactions of reef organisms. Many studies have nowquantified the links between nutrients and coral performance, but fewhave translated these studies to directly address coastal water quality standards. To address this management need, we conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed studies, public reports, and gray literature that examined the impacts of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN: nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP: phosphate) on scleractinian corals. The systematic review resulted in 47 studies with comparable data on coral …

Arima-Based Forecasting Of The Effects Of Wildfire On The Increasing Tree Cover Trend And Recurrence Interval Of Woody Encroachment In Grazing Land, Mazbahul Ahamad

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

Invasive tree removal from grazing lands using costly brush management practices is widely employed. However, wildfire-like natural events can prevent the increasing trend of woody tree encroachment in grazing lands at no cost, instead of cost-oriented prescribed burning. This study aims to estimate the effects of wildfire in 2002 on woody tree encroachment trends during the post-wildfire period (2003–20), as well as the recurrence interval of the encroachment of a wildfire site in the United States. An autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was employed to forecast the tree cover during the post-wildfire period. We found that the pre-wildfire tree …

Global Technology Of Ocean Carbon Sequestration Based On Patent Analysis, Tianyue Peng, Dehao Tang, Liqiang Liu, Bing Han, Benduo Zhu

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

The ocean is the largest and most active carbon reservoir in the world. Through ocean-atmosphere exchange and the photosynthesis of marine plants, the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) by the ocean is much greater than that by soil and vegetation on terrestrial areas. This is essential to mitigate and ameliorate today's global warming which is caused by rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. Therefore, to achieve the goal of "carbon neutrality" around the country, it is an effective approach to sequester CO2 in the ocean. This paper summarizes the technical application scope and methods of ocean carbon sequestration. By analyzing correlative patents …

Effects Of Climate Change On Northern Bobwhite Nesting Chronology And Clutch Size, Justin A. Rectenwald, D. Clay Sisson, James A. Martin

National Quail Symposium Proceedings

Widespread changes to breeding bird phenology in response to climate change have been apparent in North America for several decades. While the impact of an earlier breeding season may be minimal by itself, changes in community-level interactions can be greatly influenced because of varying responses to climate change in different trophic levels. Climate change has been shown to alter the onset of breeding season and chick survival, and lead to population declines for game birds in high latitudes, at high elevations, and on the periphery of their range. The topic of climate change in relation to northern bobwhite (Colinus …
