Numerical simulation study on coal seam response characteristics of shallow three-electrode laterolog by Xinghua Qi, Xinghua Qi, Shimao Wang, Yuxuan Wei, Zhuwen Wang

“…There is a power function relationship between the determination coefficient of coal seam boundary and the ratio of coal seam-surrounding rock resistivity ratio. An increase in the dip angle of the coal seam leads to an increase in the apparent thickness of the coal seam following a quadratic function relationship, while an increase in the wellbore radius results in a quadratic function decrease in the apparent resistivity of the coal seam. …”

Enhancing hydraulic fracturing efficiency through machine learning by Ali Karami, Ali Akbari, Yousef Kazemzadeh, Hamed Nikravesh

“…Abstract Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique employed in the oil and gas industry to extract hydrocarbon resources from shale formations and low-permeability rocks. This process involves the creation of new fractures and the extension of existing ones within the rock by injecting a high-pressure fracturing fluid, which enhances the flow of hydrocarbons. …”
