Study on the Deformation Characteristics of the Surrounding Rock and Concrete Support Parameter Design for Deep Tunnel Groups by Zhiyun Deng, Jianqi Yin, Peng Lin, Haodong Huang, Yong Xia, Li Shi, Zhongmin Tang, Haijun Ouyang

“…The influences of surrounding rock strength, reinforcement ratio, and secondary lining thickness on the bearing capacity of the secondary lining were systematically evaluated. The following findings were obtained: (1) The tunnel group effect was found to be negligible when the spacing (<i>D</i>) was ≥65 m and the burial depth was 1600 m. (2) Both <i>P</i>_0.3 and <i>P</i>_max of the secondary lining increased linearly with reinforcement ratio and thickness. (3) For surrounding rock of grade III (IV), 95% <i>u</i>_lim and 90% <i>u</i>_lim were found to be optimal support timings, with secondary lining forces remaining well below the cracking stress during construction. (4) For surrounding rock of grade V in tunnels with a burial depth of 200 m, 90% <i>u</i>_lim is recommended as the initial support timing. …”

Well test analysis method of shale gas well groups considering fracture network connectivity by HU Xiaohu, LIU Hua, HE Hui, YUAN Hongfei

“…The results showed that: ① Production wells had bilinear flow (1/4 stage), linear flow (1/2 stage), unsteady crossflow, and boundary quasi-steady flow stages, while non-production wells rarely had bilinear or linear flow stages. ②Under both connected and unconnected fractures, the bottom-hole pressure solution of the well group calculated by the finite volume numerical method was entirely consistent with that calculated by the method proposed in this paper. ③ The interpretation and evaluation results of measured data from four wells on two platforms in the Fuling shale gas field were consistent with field observations, verifying the reliability and practicality of the proposed method. …”
