Understanding in-situ stress variation is extremely important for coalbed methane (CBM) exploration and development; however, precise information on the present-day in-situ stress field in the Yuwang Block of Laochang Basin is unclear. In the present study, the horizontal maximum (S-Hmax) and minimum (S-hmin) principal stress, and vertical stress (S-v) in coal seams of Yuwang Block were systematically analyzed based on measured injection/falloff data and geomechanical models. The results indicated that, in the Yuwang Block, vertically, shallow coal seams (less than 800 m below ground level, bgl) mainly experienced the strike-slip faulting stress regime (S-Hmax > S-v > S-hmin); whereas deep layers (more than 800 m bgl) were characterized by the dominant normal faulting stress regime (S-v > S-Hmax > S-hmin). Laterally, with the No.9 coal seam case study, relatively lower stress magnitudes were mainly located around Yuwang and Well L-4 regions. Coal permeability obtained from injection-falloff well tests decreased exponentially with the increased effective stress, suggesting that coal permeability in the Yuwang Block was in-situ stress controlled. In addition, differential stress and presence of natural fractures within coal seams significantly affected the geometry and pattern of hydraulic fractures. In coal seams of Yuwang Block, the present-day in-situ stress field contributed to generate complex hydraulic fracture networks. The study results provided geological references for CBM development in the Yuwang Block of Laochang Basin.

Urea-Functionalized Silver Catalyst toward Efficient and Robust CO2 Electrolysis with Relieved Reliance on Alkali Cations

Sahil Garg, Mengran Li, Tanveer Hussain, Mohamed Nazmi Idros, Yuming Wu, Xiu Song Zhao, Geoff G. X. Wang, Thomas E. Rufford

Summary: We have developed a new strategy to improve the reactivity and durability of a membrane electrode assembly (MEA)-type electrolyzer for CO2 electrolysis to CO. By modifying the silver catalyst layer with urea, we have successfully promoted electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R), relieved limitations of alkali cation transport, and mitigated salt precipitation in the gas diffusion electrode. The urea-modified Ag catalyst exhibited significantly better CO selectivity and energy efficiency than the untreated Ag catalyst, and maintained stable performance over 200 hours. Our work provides an alternative approach to fabricating catalyst interfaces in MEAs, with important implications for CO2 electrolysis and fuel cells.

In Situ Stress Distribution in Cretaceous Ultra-Deep Gas Field From 1D Mechanical Earth Model and 3D Heterogeneous Geomechanical Model, Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin, NW China

Ke Xu, Hui Zhang, Ruixia Dong, Wei Ju, Yani Xie, Deyu Cui, Lu Fang, Fang Yuan, Shujun Lai, Jingrui Liang, Wei Zhang, Bin Zhao

Summary: This study establishes 1D MEM and 3D HGM models to clarify the in situ stress distribution and influencing factors in the Kuqa Depression's Bozi gas field. The results indicate that the gas field is under extremely strong in situ stress conditions, with vertical stratification and significant influence from faulted anticline types and overthrusts. The use of highly deviated wells is more beneficial for hydrocarbon exploitation in the Bozi gas field.

In-situ stress field inversion and its impact on mining-induced seismicity

Xianggang Cheng, Wei Qiao, Linming Dou, Hu He, Wei Ju, Jinkui Zhang, Shikang Song, Heng Cui, Hengzhi Fang

Summary: The distribution of the in-situ stress field and its relationship with microseismic events were analyzed in the Gaojiapu Coal Mine. It was found that the maximum horizontal principal stress is concentrated in certain geological features such as folds, synclines, and fault footwalls. Areas with high maximum horizontal principal stress and lateral pressure coefficient show a higher frequency of high-energy microseismic events. The occurrence of 10(5)J high-energy microseismic events is more likely in areas with specific stress conditions.

Single atom solutions for carbon dioxide capture

Chen Zhang, Chenyang Zhou, Yuan Li, Yunsong Yu, Jingfeng Zhang, Zaoxiao Zhang, Geoff Wang

Summary: New solvents are being explored as effective methods for enhancing reaction rates and reducing reaction energy barriers. The traditional approach for developing new solvents has reached a dead end, leading to the design of a breakthrough technique involving single atom solutions. Experiments have demonstrated the presence of single atoms in the solutions and their charge-producing effects, while a density functional theory model has been used to analyze microscale characteristics. This method has been applied to carbon dioxide capture, resulting in intensified CO2 desorption rates in the single atom solution system by controlling the reaction energy barrier. The results indicate that single atom solutions can generate a maximum voltage of 2.12 V and effectively utilize substantial waste heat below 373 K, contributing to near zero energy consumption.

Factors influencing fault-propagation folding in the Kuqa Depression: Insights from geomechanical models

Wei Ju, Yu Zhong, Yan Liang, Lei Gong, Shuai Yin, Peiming Huang

Summary: Understanding the deformation and strain state of rock masses is crucial for various endeavors. Geomechanical modeling is an excellent method for simulating faulting and folding processes, which can replicate the geometry of fold structures and track strain and stress throughout deformation. This study investigates the impacts of various factors on structural styles and strain distributions during fault-propagation folding in the Kuqa Depression. The results indicate that fault friction, interlayer slip, and fault slice width are the most important parameters affecting the deformation geometry and strain patterns. Furthermore, the study provides insights into the exploration and development of oil and gas in similar geological conditions.

Experimental study of sandstone stress sensitivity under different fluids: Characteristics and mechanisms

Wei Ju, Peiming Huang, Yu Zhong, Haohao Hu, Yan Liang, Bo Liu, Xiaoli Zhang

Summary: Stress sensitivity, which is the variation of permeability caused by changes in pore throat, opening or closure of fractures under forces, is an important parameter in reservoir evaluation. Fractured sandstones under different fluids exhibit varying stress sensitivity, impacting oil and gas development. This study investigates the characteristics and mechanisms of stress sensitivity through experiments and analysis. The results show that fractured rocks exhibit greater stress sensitivity compared to unfractured rocks, and the permeability decreases with increasing effective stress. The permeability damage of fractured rocks decreases with low mineralization fluids but increases with high mineralization fluids. The results provide insights for the exploration and development of fractured tight reservoirs in the Kuqa Depression.

Determination of in situ hydrocarbon contents in shale oil plays: Part 3: Quantification of light hydrocarbon evaporative loss in old cores based on preserved shales

Weijiao Ma, Jinbu Li, Min Wang

Summary: The petroleum resource assessment obtained from laboratory tests on old core samples tends to underestimate the in situ resources. This study investigates the hydrocarbon loss and restoration by comparing preserved and exposed core samples. It is found that previous studies have severely underestimated the in situ hydrocarbon potential due to factors such as sample crushing and crucible waiting. A new restoration model is proposed to compensate for these losses.

Source of quartz cement and its impact on reservoir quality in Jurassic Shaximiao Formation in central Sichuan Basin, China

Shaoyun Chen, Yongqiang Yang, Longwei Qiu, Xiaojuan Wang, Erejep Habilaxim

Summary: Quartz cement is an important authigenic mineral in the tight sandstones of the Shaximiao Formation in the Sichuan Basin. This study analyzed the silicon sources of the quartz cement using mineralogical, fluid inclusion, and geochemical data. The results showed that smectite alteration and dissolution of aluminosilicate minerals were the primary sources of silicon for quartz cementation. Contributions from volcanic material hydrolysis and pressure solution were relatively minor. The presence of chlorite films inhibited the development of quartz overgrowths and had minimal impact on reservoir quality.
