Study on the effect of acid fracturing fluid on pore structure of middle to high rank coal.

Acid fracturing fluids can effectively improve the microporous structure of coal, thereby enhancing the permeability of coal seam and the efficiency of gas drainage. To explore the effects of acid fracturing fluids on the pore structure modification of coal samples from different coal ranks, hydrochloric acid-based acid fracturing fluids were prepared and used to soak four types of medium to high-rank coal in an experiment. High-pressure mercury intrusion and liquid nitrogen adsorption techniques results demonstrated that the acid fracturing fluid can effectively alter the pore structure of coal.

A study on the impact of ultrasonic-stimulated clean fracturing fluid on the pore structure of medium to high rank coal.

The pore structure of coal plays a key role in the effectiveness of gas extraction. Conventional hydraulic fracturing techniques have limited success in modifying the pore structure using clean fracturing fluid (CFF), and the stimulating effects of ultrasonic can enhance the effectiveness of CFF in modifying coal pore structures. To research the effects of ultrasonic stimulation on the pore structure of medium to high-rank coal when using CFF, this study employed mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption (LT-NA) methods to analyze the changes in pore structures after cooperative modification.

Experimental study on failure mode and fracture evolution characteristics of red shale in Kaiyang Phosphorus mining area.

In order to study the failure mode and fracture evolution characteristics of red shale in Kaiyang Phosphorus mining area, conventional triaxial compression mechanical tests of red shale with different bedding dip angles were carried out by using DSTD-1000 electro-hydraulic servo rock mechanics experiment system. Based on the laboratory test results, the conventional triaxial particle flow simulation of red shale samples with different bedding dip angles was carried out using discrete element PFC2D. The results show that: (1) the failure mode of red shale is controlled by bedrock when the bedding dip angle is 0° and 60° ~ 90°.

Evolution Characteristics of the Microstructure with Different Fracturing Fluids: An Experimental Study of Guizhou Bituminous Coal.

Fracturing fluid is a key factor affecting the hydraulic fracture morphology and coal microstructure, which plays a key role in the hydraulic fracturing effect. To compare the effect of clean water, clean fracturing fluid, and acid fracturing fluid on the pore structure of coal, this paper used high-pressure mercury injection (MIP), low-temperature N adsorption (LT-NA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the pore structure of Guizhou bituminous coal before and after the action of fracturing fluid. The results show that clean water can cause mineral expansion and reduce pore volume by about 6% and clean fracturing fluid and acid fracturing fluid can increase pore volume by 3 and 12%, respectively, due to different degrees of acidity.
