Treatment and Effect of Loess Metro Tunnel under Surrounding Pressure and Water Immersion Environment by Lixin Wang, Chenghan Li, Junling Qiu, Ke Wang, Tong Liu, Heng Li

“…The results show that the water pressure at the measuring point of the tunnel vault is reduced by 4 MPa; the maximum and the minimum principal stresses at the top of the segment lining increased by 34.9 kPa and 8.8 kPa, respectively, which is less than the increase without grouting; and the maximum displacement of the surrounding rock is reduced by 19 mm. The plastic area produced by local water source infiltration is about 62% of that before grouting. …”

Research on Enrichment of P2O5 from Low-Grade Carbonaceous Phosphate Ore via Organic Acid Solution by Fei Xie, Jie Zhang, Jiyan Chen, Jianrui Wang, Lin Wu

“…The reaction mechanism, examined by SEM technique and the reaction thermodynamic analysis suggested that the leaching of P2O5 mainly resulted from the process of dissolution of dolomite (the main gangue mineral) in organic acid, consequently enriching the phosphate rock (the mineral of value). The effectiveness and impacts of different types of acid and reaction conditions were also studied. …”

Effect of Seepage Force on the Wellbore Breakdown of a Vertical Wellbore by Desheng Zhou, Haiyang Wang, Yafei Liu, Shun Liu, Xianlin Ma, Wenbin Cai, Hai Huang

“…The paper proves that seepage force lowers formation breakdown pressure of a vertical wellbores; the deeper a formation is, the greater action of the seepage force; seepage force contributes more to breakdown formation with small difference of the two horizontal stresses such as unconventional reservoirs; seepage force increases as rock permeability decreases, and it should not be ignored in hydraulic fracturing analysis, especially for low-permeability formation.…”

Fluid Flow and Heat Transport Computation for Power-Law Scaling Poroperm Media by Peter Leary, Peter Malin, Rami Niemi

“…Wellbore-centric thermal transport is described by Peclet number Pe ≡ a0φv0/D (a0 = wellbore radius, v0 = fluid velocity at a0, φ = mean crustal porosity, and D = rock-water thermal diffusivity). The modelling schema is (i) 3D global mesh for spatially correlated stochastic poropermeability; (ii) ambient percolation flow calibrated by well-core porosity-controlled permeability; (iii) advection via fault-like structures calibrated by well-log neutron porosity; (iv) flow Pe ~ 0.5 in ambient crust and Pe ~ 5 for fault-borne advection.…”
