    GeomInt–Mechanical Integrity of Host Rocks (2021)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Engineering geology. ; Geology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geoengineering. ; Geology.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Introduction to GeomInt -- 2. Experimental Platform -- 3. Numerical Platform -- 4.Model-Experiment-Exercises (MEX) -- 5. Data Management -- 6. Synthesis and Outlook -- 7. Code Descriptions.
    Abstract: This open access book summarizes the results of the collaborative project “GeomInt: Geomechanical integrity of host and barrier rocks - experiment, modeling and analysis of discontinuities” within the Program: Geo Research for Sustainability (GEO: N) of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The use of geosystems as a source of resources, a storage space, for installing underground municipal or traffic infrastructure has become much more intensive and diverse in recent years. Increasing utilization of the geological environment requires careful analyses of the rock–fluid systems as well as assessments of the feasibility, efficiency and environmental impacts of the technologies under consideration. The establishment of safe, economic and ecological operation of underground geosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of the physical, (geo)chemical and microbiological processes on all relevant time and length scales. This understanding can only be deepened on the basis of intensive laboratory and in-situ experiments in conjunction with reliable studies on the modeling and simulation (numerical experiments) of the corresponding multi-physical/chemical processes. The present work provides a unique handbook for experimentalists, modelers, analysts and even decision makers concerning the characterization of various types of host rocks (salt, clay, crystalline formations) for various geotechnical applications.

    Geomechanical Aspects of Operation of Underground Gas Storage (2023)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Geotechnical engineering. ; Geology. ; Sedimentology. ; Geophysics. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Geology. ; Sedimentology. ; Geophysics.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Analysis of existing approaches to solving the problem of sand production during the operation of UGS wells -- Chapter 2: Experimental facilities for studying the deformation and strength properties of rocks and geomechanical modelling -- Chapter 3: Methodology for performing TILTS experiments to study the deformation, strength and filtration properties of rocks -- Chapter 4: Results of TILTS testing of the deformation, strength and filtration characteristics of reservoir rocks at uderground gas storage facilities based on triaxial tests -- Chapter 5: Geomechanical modelling of the stress-strain state in UGS reservoirs during cyclic changes in reservoir pressure and downhole pressure -- Chapter 6: Physical modelling programs of rock deformation and fracture in the near-wellbore zone of USG during gas injection and extraction -- Chapter 7: Results of physical modelling of deformation and filtration processes in the bottomhole zone of ugs wells during gas extraction and injection -- Chapter 8: Rationale for the possibility of using the directed unload reservoir method (DUR method) to increase rock permeability in the bottomhole zone of UGS wells -- Chapter 9: Justification of predictive recommendations for maximum and minimum allowable drawdowns, well flow rates and prevention of sand production.
    Abstract: This book is devoted to the most important and urgent problems arising during the operation of underground gas storage facilities (UGS) and associated with the destruction of the reservoir and sand production into the wells. UGS facilities play a special role in ensuring high reliability of stable and guaranteed gas supplies to consumers. However, despite many years of experience in UGS well operation, there is still no sufficiently substantiated geomechanical model of reservoir failure and a mathematical description of the processes occurring in the reservoir-well system, taking into account the peculiarities of the mechanical behavior of reservoir rocks during cyclic injection and extraction of gas. As a result, there are no reliable criteria for establishing a rational regime for the operation of an UGS wells in conditions of a possible destruction of reservoir rocks. Further development of underground gas storage direction requires the introduction of innovative technologies that can be used both in the design of new UGS facilities and to extend the safe and efficient operation of existing underground gas storage facilities. To solve these problems, the most promising technologies, taking into account their efficiency, relatively low cost and environmental safety, are those based on the geomechanical approach. The book is addressed to specialists in the development and operation of underground gas storage facilities, as well as specialists in geomechanics of oil and gas fields. It can be useful for students and graduate students studying in the speciality "Development of oil and gas fields".

    Abstract: The key to the solution of geological hazards such as Karst water inrush and mud burst in tunnel lies in the accurate prediction or detection of Karst and groundwater. By means of on-site monitoring, theoretical analysis and indoor simulation experiments, the authors conduct in-depth research on the characteristics of water-bearing media and their mechanism of action, and explored the relevance of "Karst morphology", "Karst groundwater" and "fractal characteristics". An evaluation model of Karst development degree based on hydrochemical kinetic parameters and fractal index of Karst morphology is established. Based on the combination of Karst groundwater dynamics, hydrochemistry, water-rock interaction theory and fractal theory, the hydrochemical Kinetics and fractal index evaluation technique for Karst development is proposed. It provides a new theory and method for improving the accuracy of Karst and groundwater forecasting. The research results are of practical and guiding significance to the construction, Karst geological disasters prevention and management of various underground projects in Karst areas. Engineers and technicians, hydrogeological engineering geologists, and college students engaged in tunnel and underground engineering will find it valuable. .

    Abstract: This book examines the field of surrounding rock control mechanisms and support technologies in underground engineering, and proposes a high-strength support system to address the complex conditions in underground engineering, such as high stress, extremely soft rocks, fault fracture zone and strong mining activity. It also comprehensively discusses the concept and bearing mechanisms of the supporting system, design calculation methods, field application and key construction technologies. The book describes the design and construction of a large-scale mechanical test system, independently developed by the author for high- strength confined concrete arches, which can also be used to define the mechanism of deformation and failure of confined concrete arches. Further, the book explores the application of the confined concrete support system in underground engineering with complex conditions, and its control effect on soft surrounding rock. The first international book presenting the theory and key technologies of high-strength, confined concrete support, it is a valuable reference resource for design, construction and supervision staff in the field of geotechnical engineering, as well as for teachers, students and researchers. .
