“Basin scale” versus “localized” pore pressure/stress coupling - Implications for trap integrity evaluation     

R. Mourgues  J.B. GressierL. Bodet  D. BureauA. Gay 《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2011,28(5):1111-1121

In petroleum industry, the difference between pore pressure (P_p) and minimum horizontal stress S_h (termed the seal or retention capacity) is of major consideration because it is often assumed to represent how close a system is to hydraulic failure and thus the maximum hydrocarbon column height that can be maintained. While S_h and P_p are often considered to be independent parameters, several studies in the last decade have demonstrated that S_h and P_p are in fact coupled. However, the nature of this coupling relationship remains poorly understood. In this paper, we explore the influences of the spatial pore pressure distribution on S_h/P_p coupling and then on failure pressure predictions and trap integrity evaluation. With analytical models, we predict the fluid pressure sustainable within a reservoir before failure of its overpressured shale cover. We verify our analytical predictions with experiments involving analogue materials and fluids. We show that hydraulic fracturing and seal breach occur for fluid pressure greater than it would be expected from conventional retention capacity. This can be explained by the impact of the fluid overpressure field in the overburden and the pressure diffusion around the reservoir on the principal stresses. We calculate that supralithostatic pressure could locally be reached in overpressured covers. We also define the retention capacity of a cover (RC) surrounding a fluid source or reservoir as the difference between the failure pressure and the fluid overpressure prevailing in shale at the same depth. In response to a localized fluid pressure rise, we show that the retention capacity does not only depend on the pore fluid overpressure of the overburden but also on the tensile strength of the cover, its Poisson’s ratio, and the depth and width of the fluid source.  相似文献

以典型矿山多年实际的开采及排水序列资料为基础、相关学科理论为指导,通过对开采及排水资料的"二次开发",探讨了不同水文地质类型矿床的矿井涌水量预测比拟法计算公式中待定系数的特点,以及随开采面积(F)和开采疏干降深(S)的变化趋势和规律。研究结果表明:参数"m"、"n"是随开采疏干降深(S)和开采面积(F)增加而加大的变量;不同类型矿床中参数n值均大于m值;岩溶水充水矿床中参数"m"、"n"相对稳定,而基岩裂隙水充水矿床具有明显的分段性特征。指出了单纯"面积比拟法"、"降深比拟法"对矿井涌水量预测的不合理性,以及在参数"m"、"n"取值中加强水文地质勘查资料综合研究的重要性。  相似文献

本文分析了2010年7月16～18日地形作用下四川盆地的一次持续性暴雨过程,指出此次暴雨过程是在高低层系统配置较好的情况下发生的。并以NCEP资料为初值场对此次暴雨过程进行了数值模拟,结合实况对模拟结果进行对比分析。分析表明:模式对本次四川暴雨过程的模拟较为成功,能很好地再现此次暴雨的降水落区以及强降水中心。运用广义湿位温、广义对流涡度矢量垂直分量的垂直积分和质量垂直螺旋度对受大巴山脉影响的四川东北部的暴雨落区进行了诊断分析。分析指出,广义湿位温纬向平均的垂直剖面图上,等湿位温线的倒Ω区域与四川东北部的强降水落区吻合较好,等湿位温线的倾斜程度以及湿位温异常的高度可以定性地指示降水的强弱;对广义湿位温从800 hPa到500 hPa垂直积分,用得到的湿位温的水平分布来指示东北部的暴雨落区效果较 好;用改进垂直积分区间后的广义对流涡度矢量垂直分量比用传统的对流涡度矢量垂直分量来示踪四川东北部的暴雨落区效果更好;质量垂直螺旋度能有效刻画出四川东北部地区强降水系统的典型动力场垂直结构,因此与四川东北部的地面强降水具有很好的对应关系。  相似文献   

The mechanism of post-rift fault activities in Baiyun sag,Pearl River Mouth basin     

《Journal of Asian Earth Sciences》2014

Post-rift fault activities were often observed in deepwater basins, which have great contributions to oil and gas migration and accumulation. The main causes for post-rift fault activities include tectonic events, mud or salt diapirs, and gravitational collapse. In the South China Sea continental margin, post-rift fault activities are widely distributed, especially in Baiyun sag, one of the largest deepwater sag with its main body located beneath present continental slope. During the post-rift stage, large population of faults kept active for a long time from 32 Ma (T70) till 5.5 Ma (T10). Seismic interpretation, fault analysis and analogue modeling experiments indicate that the post-rift fault activities in Baiyun sag between 32 Ma (T70) and 13.8 Ma (T30) was mainly controlled by gravity pointing to the Main Baiyun sag, which caused the faults extensive on the side facing Main Baiyun sag and the back side compressive. Around 32 Ma (T70), the breakup of the continental margin and the spreading of the South China Sea shed a combined effect of weak compression toward Baiyun sag. The gravity during post-rift stage might be caused by discrepant subsidence and sedimentation between strongly thinned sag center and wing areas. This is supported by positive relationship between sedimentation rate and fault growth index. After 13.8 Ma (T30), fault activity shows negative relationship with sedimentation rate. Compressive uplift and erosion in seismic profiles as well as negative tectonic subsiding rates suggest that the fault activity from 13.8 Ma (T30) to 5.5 Ma (T10) might be controlled by the subductive compression from the Philippine plate in the east.  相似文献

Local And Global Diffusion Along Resonant Lines in Discrete Quasi-integrable Dynamical Systems     

Claude Froeschlé  Massimiliano Guzzo  Elena Lega 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2005,92(1-3):243-255

We detect and measure diffusion along resonances in a quasi-integrable symplectic map for different values of the perturbation parameter. As in a previously studied Hamiltonian case (Lega et al., 2003) results agree with the prediction of the Nekhoroshev theorem. Moreover, for values of the perturbation parameter slightly below the critical value of the transition between Nekhoroshev and Chirikov regime we have also found a diffusion of some orbits along macroscopic portions of the phase space. Such a diffusion follows in a spectacular way the peculiar structure of resonant lines.  相似文献   

Hilda asteroids among Jupiter family comets     

Romina P. Di Sisto  Adrián Brunini  Lorena D. Dirani  Rosa B. Orellana 《Icarus》2005,174(1):81-89

Hilda asteroids and comets are similar from the compositional point of view. The D-taxonomic class prevailing among Hildas has all the characteristics found in cometary spectra. Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs) coming from the trans-neptunian region are under the gravitational control of Jupiter, making them a dynamically unstable population with a mean dynamical lifetime of 10⁴ to ¹⁰⁵ years. In contrast, Hilda asteroids residing in the 3:2 mean motion resonance with Jupiter are a very stable population. But once they escape from the resonance, they are dynamically controlled by Jupiter, and in this sense their behavior resembles that of JFC. We performed a numerical simulation to analyze the dynamical evolution that Hildas follow after escaping from the resonance, and their contribution to the JFC population. We found that 8% of the particles leaving the resonance end up impacting Jupiter. 98.7% of the escaped Hildas live at least 1000 years as a JFC, with a mean lifetime of 1.4×¹⁰⁶ years. In particular, escaped Hildas stay mainly in the region of perihelion distances greater than 2.5 AU. On the other hand, the number of escaped Hildas reaching the inner Solar System (q<2.5 AU) is negligible. So, there are almost no Hilda asteroids among the NEO population. We also analyzed the possibility that the Shoemaker-Levy 9 were an escaped Hilda asteroid. In this case, it would be possible to give stronger constraints to its pre-capture orbital elements.  相似文献   

Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Horizontal Rolls and Cells in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Based on Radar and in Situ Observations     

F. Lohou  A. Druilhet  B. Campistron 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1998,89(3):407-444

This paper is the second of a series devoted to the observation and analysis of coherent structures in the cloudy Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) such as horizontal rolls or thermal cells. In the first paper, the TRAC (Turbulence Radar Aircraft Cells) experiment which is the observational support of this investigation based on coupled radar-aircraft measurements, was presented along with an overview of the main results of this campaign held in June 1993 in France. Here the analysis is focused on the spatial characteristics (length-scale, orientation ... ) of the coherent structures, their temporal evolution and vertical distribution deduced from the radar reflectivity fields acquired in clear air at several levels for five different ABLs. For that, an original and efficient image processing method able to extract the major mode of the organisation was developed. These characteristics are examined in relation to the dynamic and thermodynamic state of the ABL using mean and turbulent information as observed by the in-situ aircraft. These experimental results are the basis of a future Large Eddy Simulation modeling of an organised ABL which is in progress and will be the concern of the third paper in the series.  相似文献   

Dynamical Initialization of Boundary-Layer Data     

G. K. Sen  M. Chatterjee  D. K. Sinha 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1998,87(3):509-514

A procedure for the dynamic initialization of wind and temperature fields within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is presented. The procedure uses transilient turbulence theory to assess the turbulent fluxes from observed wind and temperature data, which are used to estimate the eddy transfer coefficients, so enabling a local closure ABL model to be integrated forward in time to a new steady state. The method has been applied to initialize kytoon data taken at Kharagpur (22.3° N, 87.2° E) during the MONTBLEX field programme. Results of a case study for 17 June 1990 are discussed.  相似文献
