    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2026, 48 (1): 1-11.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2025.09.16.04

    Due to the unique constraints of the offshore environment, there exist many challenges, including limited construction space, high investment costs, and demanding production requirements, which pose significant obstacles to large-scale offshore fracturing. Large fracturing vessels and supporting technologies can effectively enhance the productivity of low-quality reservoirs, and standardized and batch-operating models enable intensive industrial advantages, which can reduce operational costs, achieve cost-efficient offshore fracturing development characterized by "fewer wells with higher production". However, the corresponding fracturing operation modes and associated technical systems still need further research. Based on the fact that the large-scale fracturing vessel can meet the demands of large-scale and batch offshore fracturing operations in the future, four development directions of fracturing vessels are prospected. By systematically sorting out the main offshore operation facilities, a solution for the connection of fracturing tubing strings and corresponding wellheads based on four modes is proposed, namely "oil production platform + modular drilling rig or drilling ship, unmanned platform + drilling ship or workover ship, exploration well fracturing by using drilling ship and fracturing during jacket period". These solutions provide technical reference for the large-scale continuous operation of fracturing ships.

    On the basis of studying foreign and domestic sandstone classification , this paper suggests a new , suitable sandstone classification. Firstly , according to the matrix content , sandstone is divided into two categories : the sandstone with matrix < 15 % is anenite ; matrix > 15 % is wacke. Three end members on the classification triangle chart are quart (Q) , feldspar
    (F) and rock debris (R) . Sandstone is divided into three classes. The andstone that has Q > 75 % is quart sandstone , which is Q < 75 % and F > R is feldspathic sandstone , which has Q< 75 % and R > F is lithic sandstone. Quart sandstone is divided into four types : pure quartzose < sandstone , quartzose sandstone , feldspar quartzite , and lithic quartzite. Feldspathic sandstone is divided into three types : arkoses , lithic arkoses , subarkose. Lithic sandstone is divided into three types : litharenite ,feldspar litharenite , sublitharenite.

    XU Jie, WANG Yunhai, ZHANG Binqi, ZHAO Kangjia, XU Yantao
    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2026, 48 (1): 12-22.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2025.09.15.06

    Multi stage limited-entry fracturing is one of the most effective methods to improve the production capacity of low-permeability reservoirs in the Bozhong 25-1 Oilfield. However, when reservoir characteristics and flow limiting fracturing process parameters jointly affect each other, the mechanism of multi cluster fracture propagation is still unclear. Based on a large-scale true triaxial fracturing simulation experimental platform, we conduct experimental research on the multi cluster fracture propagation law of artificial rocks with similar physical properties in the target layer. The influence of factors such as perforation cluster spacing, cluster number, and horizontal stress difference on the multi cluster fracture propagation state is analyzed. The results indicate that increasing the spacing between clusters has little effect on the initiation pressure of rocks, but it weakens the interference between cracks and promotes the uniform expansion of multiple clusters of cracks; the increase in the number of perforation clusters will weaken the resistance of rock plastic deformation to crack propagation and increase the scale of crack propagation; when the horizontal stress difference is less than 6 MPa, multiple clusters of cracks exhibit a staggered expansion of transverse and longitudinal cracks; the increase in fracturing fluid displacement and viscosity can increase the net pressure inside the fracture, and the morphology of multiple clusters of fractures becomes more complex. This study provides a reference for optimizing the parameters of flow limiting fracturing technology in low-permeability.

    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2026, 48 (1): 85-94.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2025.09.16.05

    Accurately evaluating the vibration characteristics of fracturing pump units plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety of offshore fracturing operations. This study established a refined numerical model of the fracturing cabin coupling system based on a vibration characteristic test on a single fracturing skid, and focused on simulating and analysing combined vibrations under multiple working conditions. Parameters considered include the number of activated fracturing pump, spatial layout, and load frequency, et. al. The research results indicate that the static response accounts for more than 80.0% of the total response, while the dynamic response contributes less than 20.0%. The vibration of the fracturing pump attenuates along the deck in a sinusoidal half-wave pattern, with a peak amplification effect of 2.0~2.5 times observed at the activated pump. As the number of activated fracturing pumps increases from 1 to 5, the maximum dynamic response generally shows an upward trend, with peak displacement increasing by 57.5%, peak acceleration by 6.5%, and peak stress by 5.1%. A five-level startup strategy for fracturing pumps was proposed, specifically starting from the edge toward the centre. When the bidirectional inclination angle increases from the baseline state (0°) to the critical threshold, the peak displacement increases by 190.0%, the peak acceleration increases by 141.0%, and the peak stresses on the three core components, i.e., deck, deck beam, and connection base, increase by 20.0%, 22.0%, and 21.0%, respectively. The failure mode of the coupling system manifests as the overall strength failure of the deck, with the failure morphology highly consistent with the modal shape.

    Reasonable evaluation of production capacity is very important for gas well production. It is the foundation for the long-term development of gas field. The ultra-deep and ultra-high-pressure fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs in front of Kuche mountain of Tarim Oilfield is characteristic of tight matrix and developed fractures. The seepage characteristics often manifest as the dual-media reservoir features of fractures and matrix. The entire flow process is divided into three stages: fracture flow, transitional flow and overall system flow. In response to the lack of targeted production capacity evaluation methods, the research has been conducted on the early production capacity evaluation formula corresponding to the fracture flow stage, transitional stage and on the long-term stable production capacity corresponding to the fracture porosity flow stage. The production capacity evaluation formula for dual-media reservoir gas wells considering the skin factor and the high speed non-Darcy coefficient has been theoretically established. The examples of calculation show that the result of production capacity formula is closer to the testing production than the conventional point method empirical formula, demonstrating good applicability in ultra-deep and ultra-high-pressure fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs.

    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2024, 46 (6): 45-60.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2024.11.18.03

    Significant breakthroughs have been made in the exploration of two types of shale gas, poor and rich in organic matter, in the Qiongzhusi Formation of the groove facies area in the Sichuan Basin. However, the degree of organic matter enrichment, shale gas reservoir characteristics, and formation conditions are significantly different from those of the Longmaxi Formation. Through comprehensive analysis of the lithology, grain size, mineral composition, organic carbon content, hydrocarbon generating organisms, and trace elements of the shale in the groove facies area of the Qiongzhusi Formation, we clarify the structural pattern of the "two platforms sandwiching one trough" in the central and western parts of the Qiongzhusi Formation during the Early Cambrian. The unique extensional tectonic background constructed a relatively stable semi open and semi closed environment for the sedimentation of the Qiongzhusi Formation shale. The high accommodation space and abundant input of terrestrial debris have laid the material foundation for the widespread development of the Qiongzhusi Formation silty shale. The changes in sedimentary water bodies and microfacies during the Qiongzhusi period in the Jingyan and Ziyang areas are the main reasons for the alternating development of two types of shale: poor organic matter and shale with rich organic matter. Therefore, a shallow water subfacies and deep water subfacies shale development model for the Qiongzhusi Formation in the groove facies areaa of the Sichuan Basin has been established, which has important reference value and guiding significance for the exploration of new types of shale gas under the background of extensional structures.

    The study of the microscopic distribution of formation water can provide reference and basis for the optimization of favorable zone selection and gas well production system. Using thin section, scanning electron microscope, mercury injection, nuclear magnetic resonance, two-phase flow experiment, logging, and production dynamic data, the study of the pore structure, reservoir water distribution state, and production characteristics of the tight sandstone gas reservoir in the Shaximiao Formation of Zhongjiang Gas Field was conducted. The results show that the average median pore throat radius of Class I, II, and III reservoirs in the Shaximiao Formation of Zhongjiang is 0.30, 0.16 and 0.04 μm, respectively. Formation water exists in the form of free water, capillary water, and thin film water in the reservoir. Thin film water is widely distributed, capillary water mainly exists in the throats with a radius less than 0.100 μm, and free water can be seen in reservoir with poor matching relationship between fault and sand body and low structural position. The main source of water production in gas wells is condensate water, capillary water, and thin film water, with the overall characteristics of low water production, low mineralization, low water-gas ratio, and an increase in the latter. The evaluation and development of high water-saturated areas should primarily target I and II reservoirs, and production pressure differentials should be appropriately controlled during production of water-gas wells.

    During the two-year production test of the four well sections in the ultra-large BZ19-6 condensate gas reservoir, near-wellbore reservoir damage and productivity decline occurred due to the supercritical reverse strong retrograde condensation behavior of the formation fluid. To clarify the impact mechanism of supercritical retrograde condensation on gas well productivity, this study integrates experimental methods including phase behavior evolution analysis of formation fluids, core damage tests, and numerical simulation of gas-oil two-phase seepage dynamics, combined with supercritical fluid extraction technology and near-critical non-equilibrium thermodynamics theory. The results reveal the saturation distribution of retrograde condensate in the near-well zone and its constraining effect on gas-phase seepage capacity, quantifying the specific impact of condensation damage on well inflow performance. The findings provide technical support for dynamic analysis, rational production allocation, and development adjustment in the early production test stage of the BZ19-6 condensate gas reservoir and similar reservoirs.

    The development of low-permeability reservoirs offshore faces significant challenges such as high costs, high risks, and high requirements. Large-scale fracturing technology based on fracturing vessels enables continuous and efficient reservoir stimulation, representing a key pathway for the economical and effective exploitation of offshore low-permeability oil and gas resources. Taking the "Haiyang Shiyou 696" fracturing vessel as an example, which enables continuous stimulation at a rate of 12 m$^{3}$/min and can increase fracture half-length by 1.5 times compared to conventional offshore fracturing, the recovery factor increased by approximately 5.0 percentage points. Through a comparative analysis of hydraulic jet fracturing, pumping bridge plug-perforation combined fracturing, and cemented sliding sleeve fracturing: it is concluded that the cemented sliding sleeve fracturing, with a non-operating time accounting for only 10%~15%, offers superior operational continuity and is best suited for the high-efficiency mode of fracturing vessels. Furthermore, key supporting technologies have been developed, including a seawater-based integrated variable-viscosity fracturing fluid system, continuous proppant supply, casing tie-back and downhole safety control. A multi-method fracture monitoring approach is also recommended to enhance post-fracturing evaluation accuracy. The research findings provide systematic technical support for the large-scale development of China$'$s offshore low-permeability oil and gas resources and the achievement of the "fewer wells and higher production" objective.

    In the cementing of oil and natural gas wells "short-term gas migration" is usually happened during the liquid-solid transition stage of the cement slurry. Understanding the process of cement hydration during this stage is the key to study the mechanism of "short-term gas migration". And electrical conductivity is one of effective method to investigate the hydration degree and microstructure of cement slurry. Therefore, the conductivity measurement instrument was applied to investigate the effects of the stability, hydration rate of the cement slurry on its electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, combining the principle of mass conservation and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), the relationship between the water states and electrical conductivity of the cement slurry was investigated. The experimental results showed that the initial electrical conductivity of the cement slurry was determined by the concentration of the pore solution and pore structure in the cement slurry. And the pore structure distribution was more uniformed with increasing stability of the cement slurry, which increases the initial electrical conductivity of the cement slurry from 16.8 mS/cm to 19.4 mS/cm. Moreover, with hydration degree increases a large amount of hydration products form on the surface of cement particles and in pores to change the solid-phase microstructure and pore structure of the cement slurry. It made the free water distributed in large pores change to capillary water or gel water in small pores. Finally, the experimental results show that it can be seen that the electrical conductivity is proportional to the content of free water, evaporable water in the cement slurry.

    Shuangfeng Basin is the sediment unloading area of the central canyon of Qiongdongnan Basin, with a huge scale of deep-water sedimentary system. With the acceleration of exploration in the deep water area of the northern South China Sea, the oil and gas exploration prospects in the Shuangfeng Basin are increasingly receiving attention. A systematic study was conducted on the development characteristics and oil and gas geological conditions of the late Miocene deep-water sedimentary bodies in the Shuangfeng Basin through comprehensive analysis of sea level rise and fall, seismic data reflection characteristics, etc. The research results indicate that the deep-water sedimentary bodies in the Shuangfeng Basin were mainly developed in the Late Miocene, with branch channels, channel complexes, channel—levee complexes, lobe etc. The distribution area of deepwater sedimentary bodies reach ten thousands of square kilometers, making it a potential area for ultra large scale reservoirs. Meanwhile, the western and northern depressions of the Shuangfeng Basin have good conditions of source, reservoir, and cap rocks. Due to the Shuangfeng Basin located in the deep-water to ultra deep-water zone, the quality of source rocks, the scale of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion, and the economic viability of exploration targets are uncertain factors in oil and gas exploration in this area. The result has important guiding significance for the analysis of oil and gas exploration prospects, strategic selection of areas and zones in the Shuangfeng Basin.

    Aiming at the problem of debonding failure of the stator rubber bushing of the screw motor, the failure mechanism of the stator bushing of the 7/8 head conventional and equal wall thickness screw motor was studied. The principle of rubber-metal interface cohesion was adopted in the study. Through rubber-metal bonding mechanics test and rubber uniaxial tensile test, and finite element and numerical analysis, the interface shear stress was found to be the main factor causing the bushing bonding failure, and the minimum arc radius $R$ of the bushing profile was the main reason for the change of the maximum interface shear stress. The drilling fluid and interference have a significant effect on the shear stress at the interface of the equal wall thickness bushing. When the drilling fluid pressure increases from 15 MPa to 60 MPa, the maximum shear stress at the interface of the equal wall thickness bushing increases by 146%, and the equal wall thickness screw motor is more prone to bonding failure. Finally, the different wall thickness bushing structure is proposed. The interface shear stress of the different wall thickness bushing is less than that of the equal wall thickness bushing, and decreases with the increase of the minimum arc radius $R$, which has good heat dissipation. The service life of the bushing with different wall thickness is proportional to the minimum arc radius when fatigue failure occurs. The maxi-mum service life is predicted to be 240.99 h when fatigue failure occurs. The first fatigue failure area is the inner cavity arc top of the bushing, which is consistent with the actual failure phenomenon. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the design optimization of screw motor, and makes an important contribution to improve the working life of screw motor.

    The Bohai Sea oilfield has abundant low-permeability reserves, which are important replacement resources for increasing reserves and production. Among them, the C Oilfield in the Bohai Sea has well-developed natural fractures in the buried hill reservoirs. Volume fracturing to create complex fracture networks is a key technical means for development. To address the issue that the influence law of single-layer proppant placement of secondary fractures on conductivity is still unclear during network fracturing, a prediction model for the conductivity of secondary fractures with multi-size distribution was established based on the plane contact theory. The correctness of the model was verified through model degradation and experimental analysis, and the influencing factors were analyzed. The research results show that increasing the proportion of large-sized proppants is beneficial to maintaining the width of secondary fractures; the permeability of secondary fractures is approximately linearly and positively correlated with the proportion of large-sized proppants; in the case of multi-size proppant combinations, as the proportion of large-sized proppants increases, the conductivity of secondary fractures improves, and large-sized proppants play a key role in conductivity. The research conclusions provide theoretical guidance for the selection of proppant sizes in the fracture network fracturing design process in the Bohai Sea.

    Systematic correlation between the Puguang and Yuanba Gas Fields can guide the natural gas prospecting in adjacent
    area and reef-bank oil-gas field in other basin. Using the chemical and isotopic composition of natural gases,thin sections,
    porosity data,and geophysical data,the systematic contrastive research of the origin and resource of nature gas,the scale and
    property of reservoir,the trap type and process of migration-accumulation,the tectonic deformation and preservation condition
    between Puguang and Yuanba gas field are summarized. The gas reservoir characters are reflected in four aspects. The difference
    in carbon isotopic composition of natural gas is related to the thermal evolution and hydrocarbon precursor types of the source
    rock. The scale of source rock and hydrocarbon potential of Puguang Gas Field is better than Yuanba. The main reservoir
    of Puguang Gas Field is the oolitic beach dolomite of Feixianguan Formation. In contrast,the reef and the backreef beach
    dolomite of Changxing Formation is the primary reservoir type of Yuanba. The gas reservoir type of Puguang is structurallithologic
    reservoir,however,Yuanba is lithologic gas reservoir,with a relatively weak adjustment and reconstruction in the

    Abstract:SJ oil reservoir’s permeability is low and its natural energy is poor. However,because of the inadequate CO2source
    and the poor resistance of the pipelines to CO2-corrosion,the continuous CO2injection is unavailable in the field. In that
    case,another improved strategy is the replacement of the continuous CO2 injection by CO2slugs pushed by N2. Based on the
    formation hydrocarbon characteristics of the pilot test block,we try to compare the mechanism of CO2slugs drive pushed by
    N2with the continuous CO2drive. After we tested the recovery percent and minimum miscibility pressure(MMP)of CO2slugs
    drive pushed by N2and CO2drive by slim tube experiments,our research are the multiple contact simulation of CO2drive and
    N2drive and the one-dimensional simulation of long slim tube of CO2slugs pushed by N2. We analyse the intermiscibility of
    gas slug and the crude oil,the interfacial tension between gas phase and liquid phase,the concentration of C2-C6in the two
    phases,density and viscosity of such two phases. The simulation results indicate no serious diffusion and dispersion of CO2
    and N2occur when CO2slug pushed by N2displaces the crude oil during the long slim tube test. The CO2concentration of the
    multicontect front is in a high level to keep a stable miscible displacement front to drive oil. CO2slugs pushed by N2can gain
    the same oil recovery with continuous CO2flooding in the same volume of gas injection. Such gas slug displacementreduce
    the amount of CO2,so it can slow the CO2-corrosion to the pipelines caused by the continuous CO2injection. The cognition
    provides inspiration function for the development and improvement CO2-EOR.

    Abstract:Particles suspended in injection water could damage the formation and decrease the permeability. And it’s of great
    importance to study the impact of various factors on the formation impairment for its prevention and treatment. In our study
    here,pore scale network modeling method is applied to the study of the formation damage patterns and the change of the porethroat
    radius under various conditions. In network models,different microcosmic particle variation mechanisms are taken into
    consideration. The results indicate that the pore-throat radius will decrease with the process of waterflooding and pore-throats
    that are closer to the inlet face will have a much higher decrease of their radius. Besides,the lower the flow rate is,the higher
    the particle concentration in injection water is,the lower the fluid viscosity and bigger particle size,it will be beneficial for the
    formation damage.

    Fracturing flowback fluid is complex in composition and difficult in treatment because it is rich in chemical additives and is affected by formation water and cuttings. Based on the comparison of relevant regulations on water environmental protection and fracturing flowback fluid treatment in shale gas development between China and the United States, we find out the following problems in the environmental supervision of shale gas development in China:the unified coordination organization for the environmental supervision of shale gas development has not yet been formed; the environmental regulations and standards related to shale gas development are not perfect; the basic scientific research is weak. Therefore, the countermeasures of shale gas fracturing fluid management in China are establishing on a sound regulatory system and carrying out the entire process environmental supervision, improving basic scientific research, and enhancing the technology and management system.

    Abstract:Severe erosion against the tool joint always leads to rapid failure of the drill pipe in gas drilling. In order to understand
    the mechanism of this problem,we established the CFD model of the erosion of gas with cuttings against the drill pipe with
    18° slope based on two phase fluid theory. According to this model,systematical studies have been made about the effects of
    different eccentricity,injection volume of gas,and drill rate on the erosion rate against the tool joint,and on the trajectory and
    distribution of cuttings and gas velocity. The results show that:at the first,when the drill pipe is in the cylindrical center of
    borehole,the distribution of erosion rate is symmetrical,the erosion against tool joint is more severe than against the drill pipes’
    body and the maximum erosion rate is near the windward slope top. Meanwhile,the quantitative relationship between cuttings’
    mass flow rate,gas velocity and the maximum erosion rate has been worked out. And then,the maximum erosion rate against
    the drill pipe and the erosion rate against the tool joint on one side of the wide flowpath are more severe when the drill pipe is
    eccentric. The maximum erosion is transferred from the joint to the drill pipes’ body when the drill pipe eccentricity from 30%
    to 70%. The maximum erosion rate against the tool joint increased with the increase of gas velocity when drill pipe eccentricity
    was at 0~30%,50%~70% and 80%~90%,respectively. But the maximum erosion rate against the tool joint decreased with the
    decrease of cutting concentration in wide flowpath when drill pipe eccentricity was at 30%~50% and 70%~80%,respectively.
    All the results from these studies provide the theoretical support for preventing failure of the tool joint and were applied in some
    oilfields.

    At present, most simulations of hydraulic fractures are conduced based on the assumption of smooth parallel plates, ignoring the effects of the morphology of the fractures on acid etching behaviors and fluid diversion capacity. A self-developed device named "acid pressure test system for fracture fluid diversion" was used to simulate smooth and rough fractures, respectively, with smooth and rough plates to study the characteristics of acid etching behaviors and diversion capacity of the two types of fracture morphology with different acid injection volumes and periods. The results show that the tortuosity of the fracture profile increased after acid etching for smooth fractures, whereas the opposite was observed for rough fractures, as acid etching reduced the peaks and deepened the troughs. Increasing the acid injection volume or period led to significantly larger change in elevation, fracture width, acid dissolution amount, and diversion capacity for rough fractures than for smooth fractures, whereas the former had not only better retention ability of fluid diversion, but also higher sensitivity to changes in acid injection parameters. In conclusion, the assumption of rough plates is beneficial for realistically evaluating the diversion capacity of acid pressure fractures under reservoirs, thus improving the targetedness of the acid pressure scheme design and the acid pressure effect.

    Severe downhole corrosion occurred during Jilin CO 2 flooding in an oilfield in Jilin due to the high pressure of CO 2, high concentration of saline water and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in the produced fluid. Currently, addition of corrosion inhibitors is one of the common methods to protect the oil well and tubes. Through studies of corrosion mechanism and main factor analysis, the effects of inhibitor type, concentration, and injection technique on their filed inhibition efficiency and long-term durability were investigated, aiming at lowering the cost of corrosion management. Then a suitable injection regulation of inhibitor is proposed based on the filed situation in order to improve the long-term efficacy of inhibitor. Injection optimization tests indicate that the corrosion rate has been decreased to <0.076 mm/a. This optimized injection technique of inhibitor not only increases the service life of downhole device and tubes but also decrease the cost of corrosion management.

    The throttling system of ultra-high pressure gas wells plays a vital role in the life cycle of gas wells, and a reasonable throttling process can not only extend the life of gas wells, but also reduce costs. This research introduces the throttling technology used in domestic ultra-high pressure gas wells, and simulates the flow field of different throttling technology in gas wells in Northwest Sichuan Gas Mine based on computational fluid dynamics. The flow field analysis software is used to analyze the internal pressure and flow rate of single-stage and two-stage throttling process systems. The flow field analysis software is used to analyze the internal pressure and flow velocity of single-stage and two-stage throttling process systems. The reasonable CV value and opening degree of different throttling process systems were determined, and the highest flow rate of different throttling process systems was obtained. The throttling parameters selection and use suggestions under different throttling techniques on site are proposed. The research shows that the three throttling processes can meet throttling requirements and on-site production conditions. Among them, the single-stage throttling process is simple, but the flow rate is above 850 m/s, and the valve erosion is serious; one-stage fixed and two-stage adjustable throttling the maximum flow rate is between 550 m/s and 600 m/s, which is lower than the single-stage throttling, but the maximum output is limited; the maximum flow rate of the two-stage adjustable flow is similar to that of the first-stage fixed two-stage adjustable flow, and can be adjusted as needed. Production, but the cost is relatively high.

    The carbonate reservoir of Permian Maokou Formation in the Sichuan Basin has strong heterogeneity, and its reservoir space is mainly cracks and holes. It is difficult to evaluate the fractures and caves near the borehole by conventional logging methods due to the limitation of detection depth. The conventional dipole acoustic reflection imaging can evaluate the fractures and caves in the range of several meters to tens of meters around the borehole to a certain extent, but it has the disadvantages of low resolution and 180° ambiguity in azimuth measurement. The 3D Far-field sonic service based on Sonic Scanner can simultaneously record multi-azimuth monopole and dipole wave field data. By combining the processing results of monopole and dipole data, the high-resolution detection results of the borehole-side structure can be obtained and the remote detection depth can be realized at the same time. The true azimuth and dip of the well-side structure can be obtained by using ray tracing and 3D STC technology, which overcomes the limitations of traditional acoustic remote detection technology. This paper introduces the 3D Far-field sonic service technology and the field application case of a horizontal well in Maokou Formation in central Sichuan Basin. The field application results show that the technology can effectively evaluate the fractures and formation interfaces within 60 m near the borehole in the carbonate reservoir of Maokou Formation in central Sichuan Basin, which provides a strong technical guarantee for the increase of reserves and production in Maokou Formation.

    It is difficult to accurately predict breakdown pressure of high stress reservoir or reservoirs with complex in-situ stress conditions, which leads to problems such as difficulties in reservoir fracturing, risk of liquid pumping and difficulties in sand pumping. Perforation hole is an important channel connecting wellbore and formation. Studying the initiation pressure and orientation of perforation hole is helpful to the understanding of the breakdown behavior of high stress reservoir or reservoir with complex in-situ stress conditions, and provides a basis for subsequent optimization of sand fracturing process. In this paper, based on the theory of elastic mechanics, the stress field model around the casing perforation well and the perforation hole are established. Based on this model, the initiation pressure and orientation of perforation hole are determined. Compared with the field data of a high stress reservoir, the reliability of the model is proved. Hole initiation pressure and orientation in vertical well under different in-situ stress conditions of high stress reservoir are also analyzed. The results show that for in-situ stress state in both strike-slip fault and reverse fault, when perforating along the direction of the maximum horizontal principal stress, the hole always fracture horizontally, forming a horizontal fracture near the hole, and the initiation pressure is the lowest, and the pattern of near-wellbore fracture on strike-slip fault is more tortuous; when perforating along the direction of the minimum horizontal principal stress, the smaller the horizontal ground stress difference is, the easier the hole is to fracture horizontally, forming a horizontal fracture near the hole, and the initiation pressure is higher, and the pattern of near-wellbore fracture on strike-slip fault is more tortuous; the larger the horizontal stress difference is, the easier the hole is to fracture longitudinally, which tends to form vertical fracture near the hole, and the initiation pressure is lower, and the pattern of near-wellbore fracture on reverse fault is more tortuous. The results of this study are conducive to the efficient development of high stress reservoirs or reservoirs with complex in-situ stress conditions.

    Understanding wellbore instability mechanisms in coalbed methane (CBM) horizontal wells under complex stress conditions is crucial for optimizing CBM reservoir drilling. Using a self-developed true triaxial device to simulate surrounding rock deformation, this study examines how differential horizontal stresses and vertical stress variations affect deformation and failure in CBM horizontal wellbores, and obtains the following results: 1) Wellbore deformation can be divided into three stages: slow shrinkage deformation stage, stable shrinkage deformation stage, and accelerated shrinkage until closure stage. 2) In the latter two stages of wellbore deformation, the deformation of the specimen in three directions is mainly controlled by wellbore deformation and failure. 3) As the maximum or minimum horizontal principal stress increases, the slope of the vertical principal stress-deformation curve during the stable shrinkage deformation stage of the wellbore significantly increases, and the strain in all three directions per unit stress increment decreases; simultaneously, the cross-sectional area at wellbore failure increases, with a corresponding increase in critical vertical principal stress and a decrease in vertical strain. 4) When the two horizontal principal stresses increase simultaneously, the aforementioned trends become more pronounced, which is more conducive to maintaining wellbore stability. The findings of this study can provide guidance for the drilling design of CBM horizontal wells.

    The Bohai Oilfield possesses abundant low-permeability reserves. However, their economic development has been constrained by offshore operational limitations that hinder the application of large-scale network fracturing techniques. With the recent deployment of large fracturing vessels, large-scale network fracturing is poised to become a key trend for developing offshore low-permeability reservoirs. The study focuses on a low-permeability reservoir in the Bohai Sea. We characterizes rough fracture surfaces by splitting and scanning core samples from the target layer, establish a complex fracture model based on the operational capacity of fracturing vessels, and carry out physical experiments and numerical simulation analysis of proppant transport. Key findings include: rough fracture walls increase transport resistance, making it necessary to use slug flow to polish fracture surfaces; the transport mechanism of sand-carrying slickwater follows a dynamic equilibrium under the influence of gravity settling and fluid drag. Therefore, to improve placement efficiency, the strategy should focus on enhancing the proppant$'$s ability to migrate into the deeper sections of the fracture; through optimized parameter design, slickwater injection at 12 m$^3$/min with a staged proppant blend 40/70 + 30/50 + 20/40 mesh can significantly enhance intra-fracture proppant placement. These results provide scientific guidance for fracturing parameter design and hold critical implications for the efficient development of offshore low-permeability oilfields.

    In response to the issue of material tank strength failure induced by ocean loads on the first offshore fracturing ship, this study systematically conducts a fluid-structure interaction analysis of this specialized marine equipment under real sea conditions. A three-dimensional simulation model of typical material tanks and their supporting structural components is established, enabling the integration of internal flow field with fluid-structure interaction calculation. Based on indoor large-scale pool experiments, ship acceleration data under different sea conditions are determined to simulate the effects of ocean loads. The study found that as the wave spectral peak periods increases, both deformation and stress within the tank gradually rise. Additionally, with greater wave height, the stress and deformation show an upward trend. The maximum deformation and stress occur when the wave direction angle is at 90°. Moreover, greater filling ratio and increased liquid density also leads to higher deformation and stress levels. The analysis identified that the point of highest frequent maximum stress during the swing of the fracturing ship is located at the bend in the middle area of the tank wall bottom. The study found that the most critical extreme working conditions for the material tank structure are a liquid density of 1.35 g/cm$^3$, a wave direction angle of 90°, height of 4 m wave spectral peak periods of 13.00 s, and filling ratio of 95%. By accurately identifying the bend at the tank wall bottom as a critical hazard zone and outlining the most dangerous combination of extreme conditions, the research provides significant theoretical insights and data support for the design of material tank structure parameters during the swaying of the first offshore fracturing ship.

    Multiple eliminating is always the difficult stage of oceanic seismic data processing. The oceanic seismic data processing
    of west Madagascar sea has become difficult because of great changes at sea bottom,abnormal growth of multiples and
    multiples attenuation. This paper analyzes the method and principle of SRME(Surface Related Multiple Elimination)related to
    free surface,predictive deconvolution and parabolic Radon transformation. According to the characteristics of methods above,
    we make a united solution,that is using SRME to eliminate the surface related multiples,using predictive deconvolution to
    attenuate the multiples generated between layers and using parabolic Radon transformation to eliminate the residual multiples.
    The processing results after applying above methods show that the progressively united multiple solution can do a good job in
    oceanic seismic data multiple elimination,especially for those whose sea bottom depth changes in great range.

    Based on the comprehensive study on core,seismic and logging data,the sequence stratigraphy framework is built up.The strata of the Member 2 and Member 1 of Shahejie Formation can be divided into two third-order sequences,including six system tracts with three different types:low stand system tract,extension system tract and high stand system tract.And the depositional evolution of the system tracts is analyzed.The braided fluvial delta and sand bar and beach of shallow-shore lacustrine are the main facies.The braided fluvial delta plain distributes on the outer belt of the slope,and along the middle belt of the slope the braided fluvial delta-front is widely developed during the Member 2 of Shahejie Formation.While the Member 1 of Shahejie Formation has experienced the largest transgression from the Paleogene,the delta deposit is obviously decreased.Intermediate stage of the Member 1 of Shahejie Formation ,the delta-front is developed only on the belt of Dabaichi,and the rest of the area is covered by source rocks.The braided fluvial delta-front sandbodies which include the sand bar and beach in Yanling and Xiliu,are in direct contact with oil generation depression and are the favorable exploration areas.

    Aiming at the geologic characteristic of bottom water reservoir with gas cap,the geologic moddelling software is used to set up structural model and reservoir model,and illustrate the structure and reservoir characteristics of the bottom water reservoir with gas cap,by depicting physical property explanation plots of oil reservoirs,aquifers and gas formations,the geostatistic method is applied to precisely calculate the parameters of reservoir heterogeneity and describe the heterogeneitic characteristic of the faulted block reservoir,in view of the consequence,VIP numerical simulation software is employed to describe the distribution feature of remaining oil,also,the distribution feature of remaining oil of bottom water reservoir with gas cap and the influence of gas cap and bottom water on remaining oil are discussed in this paper,it is recognized that the remaining oil is mainly concentrated in the locally incomplete areas of injection and production system,the elastic areas without water injection and the reserve loss areas not controlled by oil and water producers,the remaining gas is mainly distributed in the north areas and the top sand formations.Based on the acquisition,adjusting scheme is put forward and good result is achieved after implementation,on the average,oil and gas yield increases by 2.3×104 t and 0.2×108 m3 respectively,comprehensive decline slows down by 2.1%,oil and gas are produced with high efficiency in the same time.
