This paper presents the subject related to the technology of creating fractures into a rock, as well as the subject related to the effect of the proppant embedment phenomenon on the effective packed fracture in a reservoir rock. This phenomenon occurs after the performed hydraulic fracturing treatment of hydrocarbon reservoirs, during closing of the rock mass. A key part of this experiment was to investigate the depth of proppant grains penetration into the fracture wall (shale rock) and size of damage to the fracture wall surface. The embedment phenomena effects on decrease in the width fracture packed with proppant. The tests were performed for shale rock initially soaked with fracturing fluid, lightweight ceramic proppant grains with a grain size of 0.600÷0.300 mm (medium diameter of proppant grains of 0.450 mm), low surface concentration of proppant of 2.44 kg/m2. Time of exposure of proppant grains to compressive stress of a value 48.3 MPa for 6 hours at 70 oC. Test results indicate that the developed testing methodology may be used for corrected evaluation of the fracturing fluid as well as proppant in hydraulic fracturing treatment of unconventional reservoirs, especially shale rocks. and Maslowski Mateusz, Kasza Piotr, Wilk Klaudia.
Elastická anizotropie hornin je důležitý geofyzikální parametr, který využíváme ke klasifikaci hornin při petrofyzikálních studiích, pro interpretaci seismických a karotážních měření a pro studium kůry a svrchního pláště Země., Tomáš Lokajíček, Zdeněk Pros, Karel Klíma., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Based on experimental studies using the “integral velocity index of the vertical displacement of the territory” and criterion of generalized seismicity, a close functional relationship was found between two parameters of different physical nature: seismic activity and altitude displacements of the Earth’s surface in Europe. The mathematical correlation between the generalized parameters of the velocity altitude displacements on the territory and seismic activity is established according to seismic and GNSS stations for the period from 2000-2011 for the areas in Europe with close correlation between seismicity and velocity of vertical movements of the Earth’s surface. and Tretyak Kornyliy, Romaniuk Volodymyr.
We apply a traditional method of surface wave tomography as a new approach to investigate the uppermost crust velocities in the Western Bohemia region (Czech Republic). It enables us to look for velocity distribution in a small scale of tens of kilometers. We measure Rayleigh wave group velocity dispersion curves in a period range 0.25 - 2.0 s along paths crossing the region of interest. We use modified multiple-filtering method for frequency-time analysis. We compute 2-D tomography maps of group velocity distribution in the region for eight selected periods using the standard methods and programs described in literature. We discuss the velocity distribution with respect to results of former study by Nehybka and Skácelová (1997). We present a set of local dispersion curves which may be further inverted to obtain a 3-D shear wave velocity image of the area., Petr Kolínský and Johana Brokešová., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Zatímco vlastni svrchní zemské kůry je možné přímo sledovat pomocí geologické průzkumu, její hlubší části a celý zemský plášť jsou zatím pro přímé pozorování nedosažitelné a mnoho informací o jejich složení a struktuře je odvozováno z refrakčních, reflexních a tomografických seismických měření. Pro interpretaci litologie, mineralogie a struktury hlubších částí Země ze seismických dat je vhodné použít údaje získané laboratorním studiem hornin tektonicky vyzdvižených z hlubších částí litosféry během starších horotvorných pochodů. Tyto horniny se v současnosti nacházejí na zemském povrchu, a tudíž jsou dosažitelné pro laboratorní výzkum jejich petrofyzikálních vlastností., Petr Špaček, Stanislav Ulrich, Lenka Baratoux, Matěj Machek., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
