Abstract Using the typical characteristics of multi-layered marine and continental transitional gas reservoirs as a basis, a model is developed to predict the related well production rate. This model relies on the fractal theory of tortuous capillary bundles and can take into account multiple gas flow mechanisms at the micrometer and nanometer scales, as well as the flow characteristics in different types of thin layers (tight sandstone gas, shale gas, and coalbed gas). Moreover, a source-sink function concept and a pressure drop superposition principle are utilized to introduce a coupled flow model in the reservoir. A… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract

The seepage mechanism plays a crucial role in low-permeability gas reservoirs. Compared with conventional gas reservoirs, low-permeability sandstone gas reservoirs are characterized by low porosity, low permeability, strong heterogeneity, and high water saturation. Moreover, their percolation mechanisms are more complex. The present work describes a series of experiments conducted considering low-permeability sandstone cores under pressure-depletion conditions (from the Xihu Depression in the East China Sea Basin). It is shown that the threshold pressure gradient of a low-permeability gas reservoir in thick layers is positively correlated with water saturation and negatively correlated with permeability and porosity.

Abstract As the landfill leachate has strong pollution on the underground water, surface water and soil. This paper develops the formula of impervious slurry with low permeability, good durability, strong adsorption and retardant based on the bentonite which is modified by polyvinyl alcohol. Through the simulation experiment, the optimum formula of polyvinyl alcohol is 0.2%. Its osmotic coefficient for 28 days is 0.53×10-8~1.86×10-8 cm/s and compressive strength is 0.5~1.5 MPa as well. This paper study on the retardant rule of the consolidation of slurry against the pollution in the leachate by self-made percolation instrument. The experiment More >
