The cementing industry is increasingly exploring the replacement of conventional silica flour (SF) with high-silicon industrial solid wastes (ISWs) to improve the thermal stability of oil well cement (OWC). Quartz tailings (QT)-a byproduct of quartz mining and processing-have attracted attention owing to their high silicon dioxide content. Driven by rising global demand for high-purity silicon flour, substantial QT accumulation causes land occupation and environmental pollution, making its recycling and reuse critically important. This study investigates the novel use of QT as an anti-strength retrogression additive for OWC under high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) conditions (230 °C/20.7 MPa). The hydration behaviour, microstructural evolution, and mechanical performance of pure OWC (Class G OWC (GOWC)), SF-blended pastes (SF30), and QT-blended pastes (QT30) were systematically investigated. Results showed that QT significantly enhanced the compressive strength and thermal stability of GOWC. After 28 d of HTHP curing, GOWC exhibited severe strength retrogression (8.9 MPa), while QT30 reached 23.5 MPa-a 164.0 % improvement. Under HTHP conditions, both SF30 and QT30 followed similar hydration pathways, forming thermally stable, silicon-rich xonotlite (Ca/Si ~ 1.0) instead of high Ca/Si ratio phases such as reinhardbraunsite (Ca/Si ~ 2.5) and jaffeite (Ca/Si ~ 3.0). The formation of xonotlite refined the pore structure and densified the matrix microstructure. Compared to GOWC, QT30 reduced large capillary pores by 33.28 % after 28 d. This work not only introduces a sustainable and environmentally friendly additive for high-temperature resistant cementing applications but also provides valuable insights into the resource utilisation of QT.
The accumulation or landfill of lithium slag will contaminate the surrounding soil and water quality with residual sulfides and harmful elements, causing serious environmental hazards. This study aims to use Lithium slag (LS) as a sustainable alternative for silica flour (SF) in high-temperature cementing and examines the effects of this substitution on the microstructural and mechanical properties of cement pastes. The results show that an appropriate amount of LS can reduce the permeability of oil well cement and increase its high temperature compressive strength. Compared with pure paste (RS), the compressive strength of the sample replaced by 30 % LS increased by 87.8 % and the permeability decreased by 57.1 % after 28 days of high temperature curing. From the phase point of view, the samples supplemented with LS can form Xonotlite and Katoite with dense structure and high temperature stability. These hydration products can reduce the matrix porosity and permeability, increase the matrix density, and effectively improve the compressive strength of the cement pastes. In addition, the environmental effect analysis showed that the leaching toxicity and radioactivity of the sample did not exceed the standard requirements. This study provides a new direction for the sustainable utilization of LS resources, which not only combats the environmental pollution caused by LS accumulation, but also reduces the cost of cementing materials.
The fourth member of the Shahejie Formation in the Leijia area of the western depression of the Liaohe Oilfield represents a typical shale oil reservoir. However, post-hydraulic fracturing operations in this region are often hindered by significant discrepancies in well productivity, low fracturing fluid flowback efficiency, and an unclear understanding of reservoir damage mechanisms during fracturing. These challenges have become major bottlenecks restricting the efficient exploration and development of shale oil in this block. In this study, a series of laboratory-simulated experiments were conducted to investigate the primary mechanisms of formation damage induced by fracturing fluids in shale oil reservoirs. An experimental methodology for evaluating reservoir damage caused by fracturing fluids was developed accordingly. Results indicate that guar gum-based fracturing fluids exhibit good compatibility with formation-sensitive minerals, resulting in relatively minor damage. In contrast, capillary trapping of the aqueous phase leads to moderate damage, while polymer adsorption and retention cause low to moderate impairment. The damage associated with fracturing fluid invasion into fractures is found to be moderately high. Overall, the dominant damage mechanisms of guar gum fracturing fluids in the Shahejie Member 4 shale oil reservoir are identified as aqueous phase trapping and polymer adsorption. Based on the identified damage mechanisms, corresponding optimization strategies for fracturing fluid formulations are proposed. The findings of this research provide critical insights for improving shale oil development strategies in the Leijia area.
The solid phase produced during the development of shale gas oil and gas wells is largely composed of drilling cuttings. Calcination these cuttings can generate valuable supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This study examines the effect of curing temperature (30 or 60 degrees C) in the production of calcined drilling cuttings (600-900 degrees C) (CDC) as an effective route to SCMs. The hydration of the residual solid thermally treated drilling cuttings has been examined, focusing on mechanical strength, degree of hydration, ion dissolution in pore solutions, heat of hydration, hydration products, and microstructure. The results have demonstrated a maximum pozzolanic activity (83.3 %) for CDC at 800 degrees C, achieving high paste strength following 28 d curing. The mechanical properties showed a marked improvement after curing at 60 degrees C, with a 71.22 % increase in 3 d. The CDC hydration exhibited two exothermic peaks due to the dissolution of active minerals and the hydration reaction. After 28 d, an amorphous needle-shaped C-S-H gel and flaky Ca(OH)2 were detected in the CDC hardened paste. The hydration products calcined at 800 degrees C exhibited a higher C-S-H gel component with improved size and structure. The Ca/(Al+Si), and particularly the Ca/Si, ratios increased with increasing calcination temperature in the range of 700-800 degrees C. An increase in the curing temperature significantly increased the Ca/Si ratio in C-S-H. The initial CDC hydration increased the pH and conductivity of the pore solutions, facilitating chemical bond cleavage in the active aluminosilicate phase, promoting pozzolanic reactions and consuming higher levels of Al3 + and Si4+ than observed during dissolution. Enhanced CDC hydration results in the formation of hydration products that fill the pore structure and contribute to improved material hardening.
Abstract Temporary Plugging fracturing technology is an effective method to increase fracture complexity in shale oil and gas development. During the temporary plugging process, the gradual increment of net pressure within the fracture leads to a progressive increase of the fracture width, ultimately rendering the temporary plugging zone ineffectual. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the plugging behavior of the temporary plugging zone as the fracture width increases. In this paper, we establish a novel plugging evaluation device capable of dynamically altering the fracture width in real time, while monitoring the plugging pressure within the fracture. The pressure response characteristics of temporary plugging zones with different particle diameters in the process of dynamic fracture width increase were understood. Finally, the influence of injection rate and viscosity on re-plugging of temporary plugging zone is studied. The findings indicate that when the fracture width reaches the critical fracture width, a distinct dominant channel forms between the temporary plugging zone and the fracture wall, causing a significant drop in plugging pressure. The critical fracture width is determined as one-third of the particle diameter, and smaller particle sizes correspond to smaller critical fracture widths. When the fracture width is below the critical fracture width, effective particle rearrangement can be achieved by increasing the injection rate and viscosity to prevent the formation of dominant channels. However, when the fracture width exceeds the critical fracture width, re-plugging the temporary plugging zone through increased injection rate or viscosity is not feasible. In such cases, the dominant channels can only be filled by pumping additional particles. This paper provides the study on the plugging characteristics of the temporary plugging zone under dynamic changes in fracture width for the first time. It proposes the critical fracture width conditions for re-plugging, which serve as a basis for selecting particle size, optimizing injection rate, and viscosity in temporary plugging and diverting fracturing.

Tight sand is an important unconventional reservoir. Aiming at the problem of large unused reserves and the poor development effect of Chang 6(3) reservoir, this paper researches reunderstanding reservoir and evaluating unused reserves. Employing rock slice and scanning electron microscope (SEM), the experiment of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), water-oil relative permeability experiment, reservoir space, movable fluid, and oil-water seepage characteristics was studied. The factors affecting NMR T-2 cutoff, controlling factors of movable fluids, and controlling factors of displacing efficiency in tight sandstone reservoirs are discussed. The study demonstrates that (1) the mean pore volume and permeability are 4.4% and 0.068 mD, respectively. The reservoir pertains to tight sandstone, mainly intergranular pore and dissolution pore, and the intercalated materials are mainly chlorite and illite. (2) The characteristic of the NMR T-2 spectrum has bimodal characteristics and can be subdivided into two classes: left peak dominant and right peak dominant. The mean value of mobile fluid saturation was 17.9%. (3) According to the relative permeability curve pattern, it is divided into four categories, and the mean bound water saturation is 29.9%. The average irreducible oil saturation was 40.6%. The mean oil flooding efficiency was 40.2%. (4) The better the pore-throat relationship, the lower the T-2 cutoff, the stronger ability of the fluid migration ability, and the higher of a percentage of active fluid. The percentage of active fluid in a low-permeability reservoir is affected by the reservoir's physical property and pore structure.

针对致密砂岩储层,采用API裂缝导流能力测试仪,进行不同类型、粒径、组合的支撑剂裂缝导流能力测试实验,研究支撑剂不同粒径组合对导流能力的影响.实验结果发现:当石英砂与两种不同粒径陶粒组合比例为1:2:2和1:2:7时,在较高的闭合应力下,仍然保持较高的导流能力,而且随着闭合应力增加,导流能力下降幅度较小.因此在致密砂岩储层压裂中,可以选择石英与两种不同粒径陶粒组合,保证裂缝在长时间和较高地层压力下,保持较高的导流能力,从而提高致密砂岩气藏的采收率.
At present, evaluation on reservoir damage induced by fracturing fluid mainly refers to The Evaluation Measurement for Properties of Water-based Fracturing Fluid: SY/T5107-2016 (referred to as the industry standard below). However, the fracturing fluid displacing core process stipulated in the industry standard is not consistent with the fast invading process of fracturing fluid into the reservoir under high pressure during the actual fracturing construction. Besides, the influences of fracturing fluid residues, gel breaking mode, original water saturation and other factors are not taken into consideration in the experiments to evaluate the damage of fracturing fluids. Thus, the accuracy of evaluation results is influenced. In this paper, tight sandstone cores of the Lower Jurassic Ahe Formation (J1a) in Dibei area of Kuqa Depression of the Tarim Basin were selected as samples. The invading process of fracturing fluid into a tight sandstone reservoir was simulated by modifying experimental process and method. Then, the damage degree of fracturing fluid to gas reservoir was evaluated and the damage mechanisms of fracturing fluid were analyzed systematically. And the following research results were obtained. First, the modified evaluation method takes into account the influences of several factors, such as the original water saturation of gas reservoir, the instantaneous “breakdown” effect of high-pressure during fracturing and the fracturing fluid residues, so it can evaluate the damage degree of fracturing fluid to tight sandstone gas reservoirs more objectively. Second, the evaluation results based on the industry standard show that the damage degree of fracturing fluid to the permeability of tight sandstone gas reservoirs is medium to strong, whereas the damage degree evaluated by the modified method is medium to weak. Third, the retention of fracturing fluid residues in fractures is the main cause of permeability damage. The residues can easily block fractures and fracture surface pores. Most of them retain in the pores in the surface layer of matrix cores (invasion depth less than 3 cm), so residues are filtered by matrix pores. Fourth, when fracturing fluid migrates inwards from the core surface, high molecular polymers retain in the form of thin-film lamellar, local flaky nodular and crystal inclusion in turn in the reservoir pores. Fifth, under the experimental conditions, salting-out crystals appear and are unevenly distributed in the cores. In fractures, salting-out crystals and high molecules are polymerized to form composite inclusions. In matrix pores, salting-out crystals and a small number of fragments (e.g. illite) are enclosed to form a complex. Sixth, migratory particles caused by speed sensitivity are usually combined with residues and high molecular polymers to form composite inclusions, thus blocking pores and fractures.
Due to the diversity of pore types, it is challenging to characterize the Middle East’s Cretaceous carbonate reservoir or accurately predict its petrophysical properties. In this paper, pore structure in the reservoir is first classified using a comprehensive method. Then, based on the identified pore structure types, a new permeability model with high prediction precision is established. The reservoir is dominated by 6 pore types, such as intergrain pores and moldic pores, and 6 rock types. Grainstone, algal packstone, algal wackestone, and foraminifera wackestone are porous rock types, and echinoderm wackestone and mudstone are nonporous rock types. The types of pore structure in the study area can be divided into four types. Type I has midhigh porosity and medium-high permeability due to its large throat, while type II has a fine throat type with midhigh porosity and midpermeability. Due to their isolated pores, the permeability is low in types III and IV, and out of these two, type III has better storage capacity. Movable fluid saturation calculated by the spectral coefficient method and rapex can characterize the boundary between the connected pores and unconnected pores very well in the research area. It is not accurate enough to simply classify the pore structure by permeability and porosity. The combination of porosity, permeability, rapex , flow zone indicator, and the reservoir quality index can effectively distinguish and classify pore structure types in noncoring wells. The characteristics of each pore structure type are consistent with those of the fractal dimension, which thereby proves the effectiveness of the pore structure classification. New permeability prediction models are proposed for different pore structure types, and good prediction results have been obtained. This study is of great significance for enhancing oil recovery.
