Hybrid Tunnel Boring Using Combination of Thermal and Mechanical Processes

ActiveUS20250376926A1TunnelsMicro fractureClassical mechanics
Novel hybrid tunnel boring methods, systems, and apparatuses are described. Example hybrid methods integrate (a) thermal processing, e.g., preconditioning and / or thermal spallation (which may be used as pre-treatment), and (b) mechanical processing while boring tunnels in rock and other formations. Thermal processing and mechanical processing may be used alternatively or simultaneously. For example, the preconditioning may use thermal energy to induce thermal shock and weaken the rock (e.g., cause expansion stress, micro-fractures, thermal spallation, etc.). This preconditioning changes the relevant properties of the rock relative to the additional (e.g., mechanical) excavation, including, among other things, effective compressive stress, abrasion properties, and hardness. This preconditioned rock can therefore be efficiently removed using mechanical drilling tools, resulting in, for example, faster boring speeds, reduced tool wear, enhanced precision, and longer deployment lengths (e.g., in comparison to conventional TBM and especially MTBM approaches).

A rapid simulation method for unconventional oil and gas reservoir productivity based on EDFM

The present invention discloses a method for rapidly simulating the productivity of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs based on EDFM. Based on the embedded discrete fracture model and combined with the differential method, after dividing each hydraulic fracture into several micro-elements, the number of hydraulic fracture micro-elements in each matrix grid is divided according to the actual matrix grid size, and parameters such as the length of the hydraulic fracture and the average orthogonal distance in the grid are further calculated, so as to calculate the volume coefficient when crossflow occurs between the hydraulic fracture grid and the matrix grid. By coupling the continuous medium model, the deficiencies of the traditional embedded discrete fracture model are overcome. The embedded discrete fracture model is used to characterize hydraulic fractures, and the continuous medium model is used to characterize natural micro-fractures. The obtained model can accurately characterize various types of fractures in the reservoir, and the calculation results of the numerical model obtained in this way are more reasonable and reliable.
