Abstract: A method for creating a branch fracture with temporary plugging and pressure buildup using super absorbent resin, comprising: setting a fracturing packer to fracture a target layer by pad fluid to form a main fracture; injecting into the main fracture pad fluid mixed with salt-intolerant super absorbent resin and performing replacement till depth of the main fracture, and then injecting pad fluid mixed with strong salt-tolerant super absorbent resin; after the strong salt-tolerant super absorbent resin absorbs water and expands to form a temporary plugging layer, re-injecting the pad fluid to create a branch fracture with pressure buildup; and lifting injection pressure to break up the temporary plugging layer formed by the strong salt-tolerant super absorbent resin to form residue, transporting the residue to the depth of the main fracture to bridge the temporary plugging layer formed, and re-building up pressure to create a branch fracture.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for measuring the magnitude of a seepage force and its influence on effective stress of a formation. The measuring device includes a lower bearing platform having a pressure testing device fixed on an upper part thereof, and a water storage chamber mounted with a seepage water discharge pipe. A confining pressure loading chamber is mounted on the upper part of the lower bearing platform, and the lower bearing platform is used for placing a sample which has 11 measuring points distributed at equal intervals on an outer wall thereof. An upper and a lower permeable pressure-bearing steel sheet are placed on an upper and a lower end surface of the sample, respectively. The invention can improve the validity and accuracy of measurement and make the calculation result of the test more accurate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for further forming a plurality of small fractures in a main fracture. If a radial main fracture is further fractured axially to form a plurality of branch fractures, the stimulated volume of the oil and gas reservoir will be achieved to greatly increase the yield of dense oil and gas. The main contribution of the present invention is to form three-dimensional fracture networks for any low-permeability oil reservoirs to achieve stimulated reservoir volume. The concept is that an original main fracture is further fractured to form a plurality of branch fractures (the branch fractures form included angles with the original main fracture), and the locations for forming the branch fractures in the main fracture and even the size and length of the branch fractures can be controlled artificially, so that the branch fractures can be formed by fracturing where needed.

Abstract: A piston-type variable-speed control device. The piston-type variable-speed control device comprises a plurality of piston-type speed bump structure apparatuses installed on a road surface, a vehicle speed detection device, a speed controller and an electrical power supply. Each of the piston-type speed bump structure apparatuses comprises a ridge platform. A height by which the ridge platform is raised, a time to raise the ridge platform, and a duration for which the ridge platform is raised are controllable to cause a jolting motion to one or more front wheels, one or more rear wheels, or a single wheel of a speeding vehicle. When the speed of a passing vehicle exceeds a predetermined speed limit, the piston-type speed bump structure apparatuses stay at moderately raised position to cause an obvious yet safe jolting motion to the passing vehicle.

Abstract: A piston-type variable-speed control device is described. The piston-type variable-speed control device comprises piston-type speed bump structure apparatuses which are installed on a traffic lane of road, vehicle speed detection device, a speed controller, a display screen and an electrical power supply, wherein the piston-type speed bump structure apparatuses and the vehicle speed detection device are respectively connected with the speed controller, and the speed controller is further connected with the display screen and the electrical power supply. When the speed of a passing vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the piston-type speed bump structure apparatuses stay at moderately raised position to cause obvious and safe jolting motion to the vehicle. With the striking raised visual design and jolting motion on a driver, the present speed control device controls vehicle speed by means of control of the driver's behaviors.

Abstract: A test device including a closeable cavity and a water flow groove with a water transmission channel existing between the water flow groove and the internal part of the cavity. The water flow groove includes a water inlet and a water outlet with the depth of the water inlet being greater than the depth of the water outlet. Simultaneously, side lead-in pipe of drain pipe and elbow pipe on side wall of water inlet pipe are consistent with height of top surface of the ceramic plate, making hydraulic pressure of tested soil sample being zero during dehydrating and soaking process capable of ensuring accuracy of test result. A necking design is applied to reduce water evaporation in the drainage pipe and lower the test errors. Side lead-in pipe is connected with drainage pipe for smoothly draining water and also can prevent air reversely flowing and entering into the base.
