Reducing the uncertainty in the distribution of cm-scale rock properties in the near well-bore region by Seyed Ahmad Mortazavi, Seyed Ahmad Mortazavi, Achyut Mishra, Achyut Mishra, Julie Dickinson, Julie Dickinson, Ralf R. Haese, Ralf R. Haese

“…This study explores the impact of grid cell resolution, seismic inversion and placement of an additional well in proximity to CO2 injection well on improving the representation of cm-scale lithological heterogeneity in the near well bore region in geological models. We utilize wireline and seismic data from Parasequence-2 of the Paaratte Formation, Otway Basin, Australia, which is a shallow to coastal marine deltaic deposition comprising a high degree of lithological heterogeneity and a prospective unit for pilot scale geological carbon storage operations. …”

Research on Anti-seepage Curtain Layout of a Deep Foundation Pit near the Levee by WANG Xuehong, LIU Xiaoqing, ZHANG Hui, WANG Xin, YAO Lu

“…A deep foundation pit project is located in the east of the levee at Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal.There are silt soil and silt sand layers in the bottom of the foundation pit within excavation depth,which is prone to seepage accidents,threatening the safety of the levee.Based on MIDAS GTS,this paper establishes a three-dimensional finite element simulation model according to the geological survey data,discusses the seepage situation of each excavation stage before and after adding curtain and with different lateral curtain width in detail,and analyzes the relationship between lateral curtain width and levee and foundation pit.The results show that:The seepage gradient of the two corners of the foundation pit near the levee is the largest without curtain,and the seepage damage is easy to occur near the two corners;The seepage gradient at the bottom of the intermediate curtain will slightly increase with the increase of the lateral curtain width;From the technical and economic point of view,the seepage prevention effect is obvious when the lateral curtain width is 17 m;The seepage gradient at the bottom of the intermediate curtain and at the end of the lateral curtain is large which should be paid close attention to.The research results provide an empirical reference for similar projects.…”
