Deep basin aquifers are increasingly used in water‐stressed areas, though their potential for sustainable development is inhibited by overlying aquitards and limited recharge rates. Long open interval wells (LOIWs)—wells uncased through multiple hydrostratigraphic units—are present in many confined aquifer systems and can be an important mechanism for deep basin aquifers to receive flow across aquitards. LOIWs are a major control on flow in the deep Cambrian–Ordovician sandstone aquifers of the upper Midwest, USA, providing a source of artificial leakage from shallow bedrock aquifers and equilibrating head within the sandstone aquifers despite differential pumpage. Conceptualizing and quantifying this anthropogenic flow has long been a challenge for groundwater flow modellers, particularly on a regional scale. Synoptic measurements of active production wells and well completion data for northeast Illinois form the basis for a transient, head‐specified MODFLOW model that determines mass balance contributions to the region and estimates LOIW leakage to the aquifers. Using this insight, transient LOIW leakage was simulated using transiently changing K_V zones in a traditional, Q‐specified MODFLOW‐USG model, a novel approach that allows the K_V in a cell containing a LOIW to change transiently by use of the time‐variant materials (TVM) package. With this modification, we achieved a consistent calibration through time, averaging 19.9 m root mean squared error. This model indicates that artificial leakage via LOIWs contributed a minimum of 10–13% of total flow to the sandstone aquifers through the entire history of pumping, up to 50% of flow around 1930. Removal from storage exceeds 40% of flow during peak withdrawals, much of this flow sourced from units other than the primary sandstone aquifers via LOIWs. As such, understanding the timing and magnitude of LOIW leakage is essential for predicting future water availability in deep basin aquifers.  相似文献

河南WR-1地热勘探井设计有新近系馆陶组和奥陶系2个勘探目的层,需要各自进行成井和测试工作,馆陶组成井测试完成后需要继续钻进完成奥陶系成井。在井身结构设计时,从套管设计、固井结构等方面进行优化改进,解决了馆陶组成井管柱固井、钻孔与套管级配以及过滤器参数设计等问题,并通过实钻验证。本文主要介绍了该地热勘探井井身结构设计过程中需要考虑的重点要素、设计过程等,并结合实钻过程,对井身结构的设计进行了调整和优化,使其更具现场操作性,为其它类似同井双目的层地热勘探井工程提供理论和实践参考。  相似文献

目前,高温高压气井在生产期间环空异常带压现象频发,气井环空异常带压表明井内出现窜漏,其完整性受到削弱,将影响气井安全生产。气井环空异常带压的根本原因是井屏障部件受损。通过对异常环空压力进行现场诊断测试,根据测试数据评估各个环空的窜漏程度,为环空异常带压潜在风险控制措施的制定提供指导。首先,分析了气井环空带压的5种模式,并基于气液多相流和达西渗流理论,建立了水泥返至井口和未返至井口2种环空介质条件下气体渗流数学模型。结合实例井不同环空压力诊断测试数据,评估了固井水泥环的密封完整性。该方法可通过反向拟合现场实测压力数据,预测各环空压力的变化趋势,并评估固井水泥环的整体泄漏程度,可用于指导固井工程设计及现场作业。  相似文献

Observed thermal pollution and post-development simulations of low-temperature geothermal systems in Winnipeg, Canada     

Grant Ferguson  Allan D. Woodbury 《Hydrogeology Journal》2006,14(7):1206-1215

Two issues arise in the long-term use of groundwater for thermal purposes: (1) the sustainability of an individual system; and (2) the effect of neighbouring systems on each other. Both of these effects are observed in an area of the Carbonate Rock Aquifer beneath Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, where groundwater has been exploited in thermal applications since 1965. In this area, there are four systems that utilize groundwater for cooling purposes that are closely spaced. The current temperatures observed in this area of the Carbonate Rock Aquifer and the results of the numerical modeling conducted in this study confirm that in each system, temperatures at the production well have risen as a result of breakthrough of injected water. The results of numerical modeling also indicate that interference effects are present in three of the four systems examined in this study. The influence of these systems on each other implies that these systems have a spacing that is smaller than the optimum spacing for such systems, and indicates that there is a limit to the density of development that can occur in a given aquifer.Contaminación termal y simulaciones post-desarrollo de sistemas geotermales de baja temperatura en Winnipeg, Canadá  相似文献

Hydrogeology of deep-well disposal of liquid wastes in southwestern Florida, USA   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Robert G. Maliva  Charles W. Walker 《Hydrogeology Journal》1998,6(4):538-548

 Deep-well injection has been used to dispose of municipal liquid wastes in southwestern Florida since 1988. The liquid wastes are injected into an extremely high-transmissivity zone of fractured dolomite in the Early Eocene Oldsmar Formation of the Floridan aquifer system; this zone is commonly referred to as the Boulder Zone. Data collected during the drilling and operational testing of southwestern Florida injection wells provide insights into the nature of the injection zone and overlying confining beds. The location of high-transmissivity zones that are capable of accepting large quantities of waste water is vertically and horizontally variable and cannot be predicted with certainty. A 40.9-m thick high-permeability interval in one injection well, for example, was absent in a well drilled only 85.4 m away. Some upward migration of low-density injected fluids has occurred, but at no site were the injected liquids detected in deep monitor wells, such as occurred at injection-well sites along the coasts of southeastern, west-central, and east-central Florida. The primary confinement of the injected liquids (i.e., deepest effective confining beds) consists of unfractured beds of low-permeability dolomite within the Oldsmar Formation, whose locations are also laterally and vertically variable. The origin and controls of the distribution of fractures in the Oldsmar Formation are poorly understood. Received, December 1997 Revised, June 1998, August 1998 Accepted, August 1998  相似文献
