Hydraulic fracturing is widely employed to achieve commercial production in heterogeneous shale reservoirs with tight pore structure. However, interactions between the shale and fracturing fluids may lead to structural destabilization, significantly impact fluid migration pathways and hinder efficient resource recovery. This work explores mechanisms of pore structure evolution during fluid-rock interaction and its influence on transport in marine and continental shales using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and fractal analysis. This is used to characterize the evolution of pore structures, mineral compositions and ionic concentrations in different shale lithofacies during interactions with various fluids under reservoir conditions. Evolving pore-fracture architectures are reconstructed with lattice Boltzmann methods employed to explore the impact of structural evolution on fluid flow. Compared with deionized water, infiltration by saline solutions reduces pore structure damage from clay hydration swelling, with KCl exhibiting a greater inhibitory effect than NaCl. Swelling reduces micro/mesopore volumes and lowers pore complexity in clay-rich shales. In contrast, dissolution reactions dominate in carbonate-rich shales, where carbonate minerals are consumed and Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions are liberated, generating dissolution pores that enlarge pore volume and increase structural complexity. Pore scale simulation results indicate that clay mineral swelling disrupts the connectivity between matrix pores and microfractures, thereby reducing the migration rate of the water phase. Compared with gaping microfractures, narrowed microfractures inhibit preferential water channeling and improve sweep efficiency. However, clay mineral swelling compromises the connectivity of the porous medium, ultimately resulting in a lower fluid recovery in the structurally altered model than in the original pore fracture model.
The laminae of varying lithologies are characteristic of shale oil reservoirs, with their pronounced heterogeneity and fluid-solid coupling significantly impacting oil productivity. To this end, this study initially quantified the permeability and mechanical heterogeneity in lamina-developed shale through permeability tests and quasi triaxial mechanical experiments on shale cores from different orientations in the Jiyang Depression. These tests revealed marked brittleness in horizontally oriented cores and elasticity in vertically oriented cores. Subsequently, the strong fluid-solid coupling in lamina-developed shale formations was hereby investigated by permeability stress sensitivity experiments and CT scanning, which presented the dynamic opening and closing of laminae and strong fluid-solid coupling in horizontal direction during the fracturing shut-in and production (FSP). Based on online nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), fluid migration in pores of different scales and laminae during the FSP was discovered. To detail the fluid seepage mode in lamina-developed shale oil reservoirs during FSP, an oil-water two-phase flow model coupling shale matrix, laminae, and hydraulic fractures was further simulated, based on the permeability heterogeneous and stress sensitivity, to delve into the variation in saturation, pressure, relative permeability, and streamlines of water in lamina-developed shale cores. The results showed that during the hydraulic fracturing, the horizontal brittleness, and vertical elasticity created a seepage channel composed of shale matrix, horizontal seams, and vertical hydraulic fractures. During the shut-in period, the expanded seepage area resulting from the opening of the laminae, combined with the extremely high pressure gradient from the seam to the matrix, facilitated the invasion of fracturing fluid into the matrix, displacing shale oil and gradually balancing the pressure among the three seepage media. During production, the extremely high pressure gradient shifted from the matrix to seams and hydraulic fractures, and oil and water were simultaneously extracted. However, due to stress sensitivity and variations in relative permeability, fracturing fluid remained trapped in the shale formation.
Double-row spherical roller bearings are frequently employed as supporting components in mining machinery. In practice, these bearings are lubricated manually, and the bearing chamber is filled with grease, which can lead to issues such as grease wastage and increased bearing temperatures. Additionally, factors such as load and speed also influence the bearing temperature, collectively contributing to inadequate lubrication and potential bearing failure. Consequently, it is essential to investigate the temperature of the bearing under operating conditions. Utilizing tribology theory and the principles of bearing heat generation, a numerical model of fluid–structure interaction heat transmission within the bearing was developed, and finite element analysis was conducted through the ANSYS-Fluent module. The model was verified, and the temperature field of the bearing under varying operating conditions was studied. The findings of this research are as follows: (1) The numerical model demonstrates high accuracy, with a relative error of less than 5% when comparing the experimental temperature values of the jaw crusher bearing to the simulated values. (2) Under diverse operating conditions, the inner ring of the bearing has the highest temperature of all parts of the bearing, while the bearing cavity’s flow field has the lowest temperature. (3) The average temperature amplitude across different areas of the bearing system will rise as a result of increases in radial load or the bearing rotational speed. (4) When the grease filling volume increases from minimal to maximal, the average temperature in each bearing area initially decreases before subsequently rising, with the optimal grease filling amount identified as 60%. In operational scenarios, if the bearing temperature exceeds 70 °C, it is imperative to shut down the machine immediately to avert bearing failure. This study on bearing lubrication has practical guiding significance.
Shale is characterized by a complex mineral composition and a well-developed, multiscale pore network spanning from micropores to nanopores, which gives rise to a highly intricate microscopic imbibition mechanism. Utilizing shale samples from the Jiyang Depression, experiments are conducted to systematically examine the influence of lithofacies, fluid type, fracture density, wettability, and fluid viscosity on the spontaneous imbibition behavior of shale. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance serves as the principal analytical method for investigating fluid migration dynamics and spatial distribution within the multiscale pore structure of shale. The results indicate that, at the microscopic scale, imbibition-driven oil recovery is primarily controlled by capillary forces, which must overcome various forms of resistance to effectively displace oil with water. For massive cores without fracture, oil recovery is primarily contributed by nanopores within the matrix. In contrast, cores containing laminations and natural fractures preferentially mobilize oil from larger pores, as the flow resistance in nanopores is significantly greater than that in micropores. Transverse relaxation time spectrum from nuclear magnetic resonance further reveals that CO2, compared to water, can mobilize more oil from large pores via molecular diffusion. However, water exhibits superior displacement efficiency in smaller pores. Hydrophilic cores demonstrate the highest imbibition efficiency, and the addition of imbibition enhancers further improves displacement performance. On the other hand, increasing fluid viscosity suppresses both the imbibition-driven displacement process and overall fluid mobility.
During the unconventional hydrocarbon development, the irregular shaping and uneven sand concentration of proppants banks in the staged multi-cluster fracturing of horizontal wells are key factors determining the fracture conductivity and post-fractured well productivity. To compensate for the limitation of small-scale sand filled core conductivity research that cannot accurately reflect the fracture conductivity at the field scale, this study used the mixture model to investigate the proppant distribution in fractures after sand carrying fluid enters the multi-cluster fractures from a horizontal well section, and divided the fractures into several regions based on different sand concentration ranges inside hydraulic fractures. The mechanical parameters and permeability of the sand embankment in each region were regressed to the entire fracture. The closure and conductivity of field-scale fractures with non-uniform sand filled were studied using elastic mechanics theory and free and porous media flow theory. Effects of fracture width and height on the conductivity of field-scale fractures were analyzed. The results indicate that reducing the fracture width, from 10 to 6 mm, and fracture height, from 12 to 6 m, can increase the proportion of fracture areas with sand concentration from 12 to 15%; Configurations of areas with different sand concentrations in fractures are irregular, and some areas without proppant filling can be closed under the closure pressure of 70 MPa, causing the surrounded sand filling areas to fail providing flowing paths; Sand banks with proppant concentration between 0 and 6% at the top part of the fracture can provide a more permeable flow channel than the bottom part during the initial closure of the fracture. While sand banks with proppant concentration between 12 and 15% at the bottom of the fracture can maintain a higher permeability than the top part when the closure pressure reaches 70 MPa; Reducing the width and height of the fracture can still maintain a larger fracture width when the closure pressure exceeds 60 MPa.
The Jiyang Depression has abundant shale oil resources, and elastic development is the main way to utilize shale oil. As the pore pressure decreases, the bedding fractures, sand filled fractures, and pores undergo deformation under compression, leading to a decrease in permeability/conductivity, which affects the permeability and development effectiveness of shale. Based on the liquid pressure pulse experiment, the variation law of the permeability of shale containing bedding fractures in elastic development was clarified, supplemented by online CT displacement testing, to study the changes in the morphology and quantity of bedding fractures in fracturing elastic development. Experimental studies have shown that the permeability of shale with bedding fractures decreases exponentially and linearly with the increase of effective stress. There is a clear turning point in the exponential decrease, and the closure pressure is around 30 MPa, indicating strong stress sensitivity; The linearly decreasing core exhibits moderate to strong stress sensitivity; After secondary loading pressure, the permeability of the core decreases irreversibly. The permeability of the core decreases approximately linearly with the increase of effective stress, and the stress sensitivity of the core becomes moderately weak; During the process of hydraulic fracturing and pressure increase, the volume of bedding fractures increases, while during the process of elastic pressure failure, the volume of bedding fractures decreases. However, the magnitude of change is smaller than that of the pressure increase process, and the stress sensitivity is relatively weak. The study innovatively utilized liquid pressure pulse stress sensitivity experiments combined with CT scanning technology to clarify the stress sensitivity of shale bedding fractures and visually display them, providing technical support for achieving large-scale development of shale oil.
Current fluorescent labels are often expensive and environmentally unfriendly and tend to lose their fluorescence when combined with dry and hydrophilic substrates because of their hydrophobic nature. Thus, the development of environmentally friendly, low-cost, and scalable fluorescent materials is still highly desirable but significantly challenging, especially for anti-counterfeiting and food quality monitoring. In this study, highly fluorescent nanoparticles were prepared by mimicking organelles and using natural and sustainable curcumin as a fluorescent component. The preparation process was easily scalable via traditional seeded emulsion polymerization methods and green without using additional organic solvents. The resulting curcumin-based fluorescent nanoparticles (CFNs) were well dispersed in water, offering smart fluorescence in water-based environments or a dried polymer coating. In particular, CFNs-based coatings could be used for effective smart anti-counterfeiting and food quality monitoring. The proposed strategies may inspire the design of novel, green, and sustainable smart fluorescent materials/coatings for applications in anti-counterfeiting, smart food tags and labels, and visual sensing systems.
By conducting tests on the flow capacity of shale fractures with different degrees of sand filling and conducting online CT scans on samples of different lithologies, it is recognized that as the sand concentration increases, the flow conductivity of sand-filled fractures increases and stress sensitivity decreases. Under low effective stress, the large particle size proppant filled sand fractures have higher diversion capacity. As the effective stress increases, the reduction in diversion capacity is significant, and the stress sensitivity is small. The particle-size-filled sand layer is strong. During the process of elastic pressure reduction and failure, the proppant is compacted, the pores of the sand layer are reduced, the crack width is reduced, and the conductivity is reduced.
In order to explore the change of pore structure during the development of matrix and laminated reservoirs and to determine the factors affecting the reservoir physical properties on the recovery factor. On the basis of the pore pressure rise experiment and the pore pressure drop experiment, the core porosity change was quantitatively characterized by the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum testing technology, and the dynamic change process of shale pore structure and the influencing factors of shale oil elastic recovery were studied. The results show that when the pore pressure increases from 4 MPa to 20 MPa, the porosity increases to 127
In situ viscosity has an important influence on the seepage process in tight oil development. Online NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) analysis technology can nondestructively analyze the fluid recovery in the core and the change of in situ viscosity during the development experiment. Through the online NMR physical simulation experiment of displacing crude oil in three typical tight reservoir samples, the NMR T2 spectra and stratification T2 spectra are tested in the experiment process. The in situ viscosity change and its influence on development effect and nonlinear seepage are studied. The results show that the average boundary viscosity of the core after saturated oil is 612 mPa·s. During the development process, the decrease of in situ viscosity and seepage resistance of the core can be divided into two obvious stages with 1PV as the boundary, showing a trend of fast before slow after. The in situ viscosity at the drive front of core is calculated by stratification T2 spectra. In the development process, the influence of in situ viscosity is small in the early stage and large in the later stage. The charts of in situ viscosity changes in the development process of three tight oil areas in China are established, and the evaluation table of in situ viscosity classification of tight oil is proposed. The influence of in situ viscosity on nonlinear seepage is analyzed, and it is clear that most of the pores in the core are in nonlinear seepage state in the seepage process of tight core under pressure maintaining development. The seepage velocity increases rapidly in the early stage and slowly in the later stage.

Protein adsorption on polyelectrolyte (PE) surfaces has aroused intensive attraction, but there are still few investigations on tuning the protein adsorption at a solid surface by controllable layer structures and surface properties of PE adlayers. Furthermore, there is a lack of understanding regarding the correlation between molecular conformation and anticorrosion performance of composite materials. With this in mind, we synthesized a series of PEs and constructed 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (l-DOPA) adlayers on the PE surfaces, monitoring the whole adsorption process in situ. A highly charged cationic PE surface exhibits a low adhesion of DOPA molecules, leading to a loose structure, rough surface morphology, and strong solvation effects and, accordingly, this kind of multilayer provides a poor anticorrosion capacity. In comparison, amphiphilic and highly charged cationic PE surfaces are in favor of DOPA adsorption and the formation of compact and smooth multilayers due to cation-π and hydrophobic interactions between DOPA and PEs. Interestingly, one of the multilayers exhibits a remarkable enhancement of inhibition efficiency of about 460-fold compared with that of the bare substrate, which is much higher than that of other anticorrosion coatings reported previously. Our findings reveal the interaction mechanism between DOPA and PE surfaces to achieve the controllable adsorption of biomolecules, providing a promising way to optimize the layer structures to improve the anticorrosion capacity.
To evaluate the fracturing effect and dynamic change process after volume fracturing with vertical wells in low permeability oil reservoirs, an oil-water two-phase flow model and a well model are built. On this basis, an evaluation method of fracturing effect based on production data and fracturing fluid backflow data is established, and the method is used to analyze some field cases. The vicinity area of main fracture after fracturing is divided into different stimulated regions. The permeability and area of different regions are used to characterize the stimulation strength and scale of the fracture network. The conductivity of stimulated region is defined as the product of the permeability and area of the stimulated region. Through parameter sensitivity analysis, it is found that half-length of the fracture and the permeability of the core area mainly affect the flow law near the well, that is, the early stage of production; while matrix permeability mainly affects the flow law at the far end of the fracture. Taking a typical old well in Changqing Oilfield as an example, the fracturing effect and its changes after two rounds of volume fracturing in this well are evaluated. It is found that with the increase of production time after the first volume fracturing, the permeability and conductivity of stimulated area gradually decreased, and the fracturing effect gradually decreased until disappeared; after the second volume fracturing, the permeability and conductivity of stimulated area increased significantly again.

By using salt dissolution experiment, imbibition experiment and high temperature and high pressure nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) on-line test, the evaluation methods for salt dissolution of inter salt shale oil-bearing cores were established, and the effects of salt dissolution on spontaneous imbibition and permeability were analyzed. The intensity of salt dissolution is quantitatively evaluated by comparing the signal quantity and distribution characteristics of T2 spectrum(transverse relaxation time) measured at different times. In salt dissolution experiment, salt in the core is gradually dissolved as the injected water is continuously immersed in the core. The spontaneous imbibition experiment of inter-salt shale oil-bearing core can be divided into three stages: strong imbibition and weak salt dissolution, strong salt dissolution promoting imbibition, and weak salt dissolution and weak imbibition. The salt dissolution in spontaneous imbibition is very obvious, and the salt dissolution contributes more than 60% of recovery. The micro-pore structure in different cross sections or different parts of inter-salt shale oil-bearing core isn’t uniform, and the pore volume, porosity and permeability increase after salt dissolution.
