Study on the influence of water saturation on radon exhalation rates of rocks

The radon exhalation characteristics of rocks will change significantly during water saturation treatment, and radon, as an important tracer, is of great significance in predicting rock activities. In this paper, the radon exhalation characteristics of rocks after saturated with different water contents were studied by centrifugal test, radon measurement test and other indoor tests. The results show that the radon exhalation rate of rocks shows a rising and then decreasing trend with the increase of rock water saturation. The radon precipitation rate peaked at 0.7 Sw ∼ 0.8 Sw, and the high water saturation had an obvious inhibiting effect on the radon exhalation rate of rocks. The research results are of great significance in predicting the rock-water-based geological processes.

Study on Zoning Effect of Shallow Geothermal Energy Suitability Based on Structural Matrix Method

Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource that can be harnessed to help China achieve its twofold carbon goal and advance its energy security policy. Shallow geothermal, middle-deep geothermal, and dry hot rock geothermal all belong to the clean energy. The thermal energy held in rock, soil, groundwater, and surface water up to a depth of 200 metres is referred to as the shallow geothermal variety, which is characterized by temperatures below 25∘C. Its use is mostly dependent on ground source heat pump technology. The ground source heat pump ground pipe heat exchange system, the ground source heat pump groundwater heat exchange system, and the ground source heat pump surface water heat exchange system are all included in the shallow geothermal heat exchange mechanism. The structural matrix approach is used in this study to determine if the groundwater heat exchange system for the shallow geothermal ground source heat pump in Sanmenxia’s urban setting is appropriate. The results showed that: the most influential factor was hydrogeological conditions, followed by hydrodynamic and water chemistry conditions. Aquifer recharge capacity and water capacity was the necessary condition of suitability partition. Studied hydrodynamic field and chemical field, analyzed aquifer thickness and groundwater flow under current conditions and determined the appropriate zoning, proposed groundwater aquifers and recharge horizon.

Microdroplets initiate organic-inorganic interactions and mass transfer in thermal hydrous geosystems

Organic-inorganic interactions regulate the dynamics of hydrocarbons, water, minerals, CO2, and H2 in thermal rocks, yet their initiation remains debated. To address this, we conducted isotope-tagged and in-situ visual thermal experiments. Isotope-tagged studies revealed extensive H/O transfers in hydrous n-C20H42-H2O-feldspar systems. Visual experiments observed water microdroplets forming at 150–165 °C in oil phases near the water-oil interface without surfactants, persisting until complete miscibility above 350 °C. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detected hydroxyl free radicals concurrent with microdroplet formation. Here we propose a two-fold mechanism: water-derived and n-C20H42-derived free radicals drive interactions with organic species, while water-derived and mineral-derived ions trigger mineral interactions. These processes, facilitated by microdroplets and bulk water, blur boundaries between organic and inorganic species, enabling extensive interactions and mass transfer. Our findings redefine microscopic interplays between organic and inorganic components, offering insights into diagenetic and hydrous-metamorphic processes, and mass transfer cycles in deep basins and subduction zones.

Physico-chemical and correlation study of ground drinking water of Tonk district of Rajasthan (India)

This study investigates the qualitative analysis of groundwater obtained from the Tonk district of Rajasthan to determine its suitability as potable water. Around 321 ground drinking water samples were collected and analysed for various physico-chemical characteristics including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), HCO3−, F−, Cl−, SO42−, NO3−, Ca2+, Mg2+, total hardness (TH) and total alkalinity (TA) in Tonk district of Rajasthan (India). The groundwater in the region is a little alkaline and hard. The EC during the pre-monsoon period varies from 434 to 7271 µS/cm, while in the post-monsoon period, it ranges from 356 to 8871 µS/cm. TDS of samples ranged between 285 to 5090 mg/L in the pre-monsoon and 247 to 6140 mg/L post-monsoon seasons. Few samples have EC, TDS, and TH levels higher than the permissible limit, restricts its usage as drinking water. The water quality in the study area varies from soft-fresh to hard-brackish in both pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Anion concentrations in analysed samples followed the order: HCO3− > Cl− > SO42− > NO3− > F−. Notably, the Water quality index (WQI) results for all collected samples fall within the range of 4.55–96.83, indicating they are considered safe and suitable for drinking purposes. Water quality data was analysed by correlation study and geochemical processes. A strong correlation between the Water Quality Index (WQI) and fluoride levels is found in both seasons. The geochemical analysis shows that most of the samples are in the rock water interaction zone, with some in the evaporation zone due to the high content of chloride ions. The groundwater chemistry appears to be influenced by rock-water interaction and evaporation sedimentation. The molar ratio of Ca2+/Mg2+ denotes calcite dissolution and silicate weathering revealing enrichment of Ca2+ and HCO3− ions in aquifer.

Rock moisture reinforces belowground water storage under different precipitation scenarios and vegetation coverage

Rock moisture is rarely deliberated but crucial for hydrologic regulation in semiarid loess hilly regions. In this study, using in-situ monitoring observation and simulation, soil and rock moisture spatiotemporal variations under planting alfalfa and caragana were analyzed and sketched, and the water storage contributions by weathered bedrock layers (WBLs) under different rainwater scenarios were then simulated and estimated. The results showed that WBLs had apparent spatiotemporal changes in water distribution and storage with rainfall events. Under water scarcity scenarios, WBLs increased the variabilities of water storage, with an average increase of 89.9 % in alfalfa and 14.2 % in caragana, providing wider water supply boundaries for vegetation. However, higher volumetric water content was presented under relatively abundant water scenarios. The average soil water content was 0.08 cm3 cm−3 in alfalfa and 0.09 cm3 cm−3 in caragana, while the average rock water content was 0.12 cm3 cm−3 in alfalfa and 0.13 cm3 cm−3 in caragana. Profile water consumption goes to surface soil evaporation and plant transpiration over an entire growing season, while extrawater would be stored in WBLs to maintain vegetation growth during the water-scarce seasons. Moreover, water storage had a positive linear relationship with the thickness of WBLs. Rock water storage increased by 6.9 % in alfalfa and 3.7 % in caragana after adding 20 cm WBLs, while it increased by 23.6 % in alfalfa and 9.9 % in caragana after adding 50 cm WBLs. Furthermore, various exogenous rainwater simulations showed that differences in water storage were significantly increased with WBLs thickness. This study would provide new insights into the deep-rooted plant distribution planning in semiarid loess hilly regions, and could also be helpful for the rational water resources utilization and management in shallow soil areas.

Modeling the Seepage-induced Damage in Water-Rich Fault Zones at Tunnel Faces by Double Point Material Point Methods

During tunnel construction, crossing water-rich fault fracture zones leads to water influx hazards at the tunnel face. Excavation exposes the fault, causing disturbances and changes in the hydraulic gradient. Thus, the tunnel face becomes a low hydraulic head surface. The naturally high permeability of the fracture zone provides a pathway for groundwater flow, resulting in water seepage along the fracture zone and subsequent water influx at the tunnel face. To investigate this interaction, a two-phase double-point material point method was employed aimed at developing a coupled fluid-solid numerical model for excavating submarine fault tunnels. The model incorporates solid-liquid phase interaction, including rock mass permeability, water viscosity, and tunnel geometry. It analyzes the changes in the liquid-phase flow velocity, pore water pressure, and particle trajectories in the fractured zone ahead of the working face after the fracture zone is exposed, revealing the dynamic evolution of water influx following excavation. Additionally, this study discusses the impact of the solid-liquid phase permeability coefficients on the range of water influx hazards. The research findings demonstrate that the two-phase double-point material point method effectively captures the seepage and water influx processes, offering valuable insights into the mechanisms of sudden water influx in tunnel engineering.

Research on Intelligent Identification and Analysis Algorithm of Tunnel Engineering Geological Information

When tunneling, detecting abrupt changes in geological circumstances can be difficult. In recent years, the proliferation of tunneling characteristics has been strongly related to the surrounding geology. These parameters offer significant potential for using data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to infer patterns from information without reference to known consequences. This research introduces the Simulated Fire Hawk Optimizer-based Deep Action Selection Network (SFHO-DASN) model, which uses a Simulated Fire Hawk Optimizer to anticipate the geological conditions needed for tunneling. The optimized hybrid neural network technique can anticipate geological conditions effectively, as demonstrated by a case study of the constructed model. It is especially significant for rock types, water intrusion, karst caverns, and surface subsidence, for which the predicted accuracy is greater than 95%. These findings imply that the geological circumstances behind the tunnel face could be reliably and correctly predicted by a DASN that has received the proper training. This procedure's most significant advantage is its ability to adjust every scored parameter's weighting in response to variations in geological circumstances. The accuracy performance of the proposed neural network outperforms the conventional neural network, as indicated by the area under the curve (AUC) and performance analysis. A proposed model for geology prediction can attain predictive accuracy with a small number of tunneling parameters, according to an analysis of the feature relevance of each tunneling parameter. The suggested approach ought to be more practical for proposals about tunnel support architecture in the East Asian geological region and for future tunnel building.

Determining the Relevance of Commonly Used Hydraulic Parameters for Representing the Water Erosive Force in Rock Mass Erosion within Dam Spillways

Spillways are essential control structures in hydroelectric dams for evacuating excess water during periods of high-water flow. These structures are generally excavated within a rock mass, without lining, and they take the form of a flow channel or a plunge pool. Rock mass erosion is an important issue facing engineers when designing unlined spillways. Methods commonly used to analyze this phenomenon are based on the threshold line concept, i.e., the correlation between rock mass resistance and its destruction against the erosive force of water. Multiple indices have been proposed for both rock mass quality and water energy (or erosive force) to assess rock mass erosion. The selection of appropriate indices is critical when evaluating hydraulic erosion. The erosive force of water is often represented by energy dissipation; however, other parameters, including average flow velocity and shear stress at the bottom of the flow channel, may also be relevant. Thus, a critical question is framed: which index best represents the erosive force of water? Here, we develop an approach to assess the applicability of the various indices used to represent the erosive force of water by relying on erosional events at more than 100 study sites. We determine that the most relevant parameters are linked to water pressure, as pressure head and flow velocity better explain the erosive force of the water than shear stress and water dissipation energy.

A Highly Resolved Speleothem δ13C Record from Central China and Its Manifestation on Multiple Time Scales during the Last Glacial

Speleothem δ13C in monsoonal China differs from speleothem δ18O, which is widely used as a climatic proxy for several complex control reasons. Nevertheless, δ13C records have the potential to reveal the implications of hydroclimatic changes. This study reports a speleothem δ13C record from Didonghe (DDH) Cave in central China spanning 34 to 13 kyr BP. After we investigated the factors that influence speleothem δ13C, we found that the δ13C record showed that DDH Cave can prompt directional shifts via local hydroclimatic changes, such as in vegetation types, biomass, and rock–water interaction processes, suggesting that δ13C is mainly controlled by the local hydroclimate. Ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) results revealed a coupling relationship between δ18O and δ13C on multiple timescales, which suggested that changes in precipitation caused by large-scale monsoonal circulation are controlled by regional hydrological conditions to a great extent. However, the hydrological conditions of the cave were relatively mild and humid during the last glacial maximum (LGM), which revealed the impact of evaporation on changes in the region’s hydrological conditions. We also found that the δ18O and δ13C profiles decoupled when δ13C changed with a shift in the location of the westerly during HS1. The δ13C record correlates well with other paleoclimate records, suggesting that regional hydrological conditions are also modulated by the Earth’s internal and external driving factors.

Geochemical Surveys of Ground and Surface Waters in the Abandoned Hg-Mine of Abbadia San Salvatore (Central Italy): A Preparatory Investigation before Remediation

Since 2013, 34 surveys of surface and ground waters within and outside the former Hg-mine of Abbadia San Salvatore (Italy), which is currently under remediation, were performed for determining Hg, As, Sb, and main and minor solutes. The water quality is rather poor since most waters show relatively high Hg concentrations (up to 695 µg/L). Differently, As and Sb only overcome the Italian law thresholds in a few sites. A high geochemical variability was observed for most groundwaters without any clear relationship between wet and dry periods. The main source of chalcophile elements is likely related to: (i) the interaction between meteoric waters and soils contaminated by the previous production of mercury; or (ii) the interaction between meteoric waters and the anthropic filling material of a former paleo-valley near the furnaces edifices. While the remediation is expected to be concluded in 2025, the aquifer contamination still remains a problem. Our investigation, including geochemical/hydrogeological modeling, is prodromal to future activities aimed at reducing the Hg content. Currently, the construction of a hydraulic barrier is apparently the most suitable solution to minimize the interaction processes between water–rock and man-made material, which are responsible for the 10-year concentration variability.

Capillary Imbibition Laws of Fresh–Brackish Waters in Sandstone

Understanding the capillary imbibition laws of brackish water in rocks is necessary to reveal the mechanism of fluid, salt, and ion transport. In this study, we investigated the capillary imbibition laws of a Na2SO4 solution of different concentrations in sandstone by measuring the parameters of water absorption mass, water migration front height, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) T2 spectra, and stratified moisture distribution. The results indicate the following: (1) With an increase in the salt solution concentration, the water absorption rate of samples increases, specifically manifested in an increase in the rate of absorption mass and a rising rate of the absorption front. (2) With an increase in the salt solution concentration, the total NMR signals in samples measured at the end of water absorption decreases; that is, the total amount of water absorption decreases. (3) When the solution concentration exceeds 0.50 g/L, variations in the NMR signal of samples and the absorbed water mass over time are not synchronic and are even opposite at some stages. Based on the capillary dynamic theories of liquid, the influence of salts on solution properties and the modification of the pore structure by crystallization are considered when discussing the underlying mechanism of capillary imbibition in sandstone. By calculating the physical properties such as the density, viscosity, surface tension, and contact angle of solutions with different concentrations, the imbibition process does not exhibit any significant variation with the difference in the properties of the liquid. The equivalent capillary radii of the samples at varying salt concentrations are obtained by fitting the capillary dynamics curves with the theoretically calculated values. The equivalent capillary radii of samples in higher salt concentrations are larger, i.e., the difference in capillary imbibition laws introduced by the salt concentration should be attributed to modifications to the pore structure caused by salt crystallization.

Permeability Effect and Nonlinear Coupling Characteristics of Rock–Soil Interaction with Water

The seepage effect of rock and soil in the process of encountering water follows a nonlinear coupling law between water and rock. According to the permeability of rock and soil during softening with water, changes in particles in rock and soil are related to permeability mechanisms. Based on the assumption of connection between particles in rock and soil, changes in particles before and after water infiltration, the mechanism of water–rock interaction, and the damage to rock and soil are analyzed herein. Combined with fractal theory and percolation theory, the random failure characteristics and nonlinear behavior of water in rock and soil are studied. At the same time, with the help of Fluent 17.0 software, the seepage process of rock samples in water is numerically simulated and analyzed. Taking the permeability coefficient of rock samples, the mass flow rate of water, and the internal pore water pressure of rock samples as tracking objects, it is found that there are obvious nonlinear characteristics in the process of water–rock interaction. The seepage–stress coupling between water and rock forms negative resistance to water seepage. The water infiltration is a slow and then accelerated process and tends to be stable. Research has shown that the coupling effect of seepage between water and rock increases the damage inside the rock and soil, and its permeability fluctuates randomly at different time steps. This feature is a common manifestation of fractal properties and percolation within rock and soil particles. At the same time, there is a non-equilibrium variation law of pore water pressure inside the rock and soil. This leads to a continuous strengthening of the seepage effect, reaching a stable state. The results of this study are crucial. It not only reveals the mechanism of interaction between water and rock but also correlates the degree of internal damage in rock and soil based on the seepage characteristics between water and rock. The conclusions can provide some reference value for relevant construction methods in the analysis of the formation of water flow characteristics, the prevention of rock slope seepage disasters, and the control of water inrush in tunnel excavation.

Wmic-GMTS and Wmic-GMERR criteria for micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action

Micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action is a common cause of engineering disasters due to damage to the hard rock–soft rock–water interface. Previous studies have not provided a theoretical analysis of the length, inclination angle, and propagation angle of micron-scale cracks, nor have they established appropriate criteria to describe the crack propagation process. The propagation mechanism of micron-scale cracks in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action is not yet fully understood, which makes it challenging to prevent engineering disasters in these types of rocks. To address this issue, we have used the existing generalized maximum tangential stress (GMTS) and generalized maximum energy release rate (GMERR) criteria as the basis and introduced parameters related to micron-scale crack propagation and water action. The GMTS and GMERR criteria for micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action (abbreviated as the Wmic-GMTS and Wmic-GMERR criteria, respectively) were established to evaluate micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action. The influence of the parameters was also described. The process of micron-scale crack propagation under hydraulic action was monitored using uniaxial compression tests (UCTs) based on digital image correlation (DIC) technology. The study analyzed the length, propagation and inclination angles, and mechanical parameters of micron-scale crack propagation to confirm the reliability of the established criteria. The findings suggest that the Wmic-GMTS and Wmic-GMERR criteria are effective in describing the micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action. This study discusses the mechanism of micron-scale crack propagation and its effect on engineering disasters under hydraulic action. It covers topics such as the internal-external weakening of nano-scale particles, lateral propagation of micron-scale cracks, weakening of the mechanical properties of millimeter-scale soft rocks, and resulting interface damage at the engineering scale. The study provides a theoretical basis for the mechanism of disasters in red-bed soft-rock engineering under hydraulic action.

Microscopic occurrence of primary water in carbonate gas reservoirs with fractures and vugs and its effect on water invasion mechanism

The structure of carbonate gas reservoirs has multiple pore-fracture cave media, and the gas–water flow mechanism is complex. Computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to explore the pore structure differences and collocation relationships of different small-scale carbonate cores with fractures and holes in the Longwangmiao Formation. Based on the concept of fractal dimensions, a quantitative method for water film occurrence was established, combined with surface wetting physics and mechanics. The formation of primary irreducible water and the influence mechanism of the water film on water invasion flow were clarified, the mechanical control mechanism of gas–water flow was analysed from the microelement structure, and the difference in water invasion in different pore structures was proven. This study showed that the bound water in carbonate rocks is controlled by micromechanics and occurs in the reservoir space through four mechanisms. Under the action of intermolecular forces and linear tension, a small amount of water film is formed as a movable pore surface, a small amount of pore edge space exists in the form of a corner because of the uneven rough pore surface, and a small amount exists in pores with pore diameters less than the critical pore diameter to form filling. Numerous pores occurred in isolated pores coordinated only by pores smaller than the critical pore size. Furthermore, the flow of the intrusive water phase is controlled by micromechanics such as the displacement force, viscous force of the water film layer on the pore wall, and the capillary force, which mainly occurs in connected pores and fractures larger than the “critical pore diameter of water invasion.” The “critical pore diameter” of the Longwangmiao formation ranges from 2.2 μm to 3.4 μm, and only the pores coordinated by small pores below the “critical pore diameter of water invasion” cannot be affected by the intrusive water phase due to the action of “pore resistance.” To form residual gas.

Investigation of radiogeology and environmental geochemistry of quarry ponds in post-tin mining areas of Phuket Island, southern Thailand

Increasing demand for water supply on Phuket Island for both the local consumption and hotel industry has led to overexploitation of ground- and surface water bodies; hence, it is unremittingly important to monitor the local hydrologic regime. Radiogeological and hydrogeochemical environments are investigated by representative water and surface sediment samples collected from the different quarry ponds located in post-tin mining areas on Phuket Island. The study assessed water quality, analyze the relationship between bedrock weathering and water quality, and identify radiogeological factors and natural radon concentrations, with insights into the local geology of the study areas. The representative quarry ponds of Phuket Island consist of a granite quarry pond (PKW1), a Quaternary sediment quarry pond (PKW2), a granitic-metamorphic quarry pond (PKW3), and the perturbation pond (PKW4), with the formation of a variety of geologic features. All collected water samples show total cation concentrations with Ca2+ > Na+ > K+ > Mg2+ and total anion concentrations with HCO3− > Cl− > NO3− > SO42−. However, Gibbs diagrams suggest that rock–water interactions and precipitation are major factors in geochemical processes controlling the water quality. Radon enrichments in the water samples are involved in the local geological structures and hydrogeological environments, as follows: PKW1 > PKW3 > PKW2 > PKW4. No significant correlation between the radon activity concentrations and major/minor ions is shown. Surface sediment samples are reported, and the activity concentrations of radium-228 and thorium-228 (radioactive decay series of thorium-232) are relatively higher than those of radium-226 (radioactive decay series of uranium-238). Therefore, the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in the surface sediments could be directly influenced by physical weathering, particularly the depositional environments of granitic bedrock around the quarry ponds. Long-term monitoring is necessary to consider the behavior of quarry ponds, which is related to tourism planning and the overall development of Phuket Island.

Hydrogeology of the small island: a case study of Pisang island, West Coast Regency, Lampung province

Pisang Island has an area of 1.5 km2. The issue on small islands pertains to the quality and quantity of water. This is related to an increasing population and growing water demand. This research aims to address the sustainability of water resources. Therefore, a hydrogeological concept is required to assess and predict potential water resources to maintain the quality and quantity of water. The methodology used in this research includes geological mapping, measurement of rock resistivity, hydrometeorological analysis, and water quality testing. The research indicates that the lithologies of Pisang Island calcareous gravelly sand, calcareous sandstone, and porous limestone. The aquifer system on Pisang Island is unconfined. The aquifer was spread throughout the island with varying thicknesses. The lithology of calcareous gravelly sand is found in the island’s northern part, with a thickness ranging from 15 to 90 m. Calcareous sandstone is located in fold slopes of 3 to 5 m thickness. Porous limestone is distributed across the island, with a 30–170 m thickness. Pisang Island has an annual rainfall of 3,101.93 mm/year, evapotranspiration of 2,017.91 mm/year, and infiltration of 511.23 mm/year. The groundwater flow pattern moves from high elevations in hilly areas to low elevations in coastal areas.

Geophysical prospecting of ground water in crystalline rocks in an arid Region of Northeast Brazil

Perfis de resistividade horizontal foram conduzidos em área de rochas Precambrianas ígneas e metamórficas na região semi-árida do Estado de Pernambuco, nordeste do Brasil, com a finalidade de contribuir para a analise dos fatores que controlam a grande variação na vazão em poços localizados a pequena distancia entre si. Dezesseis linhas de resistividade paralelas e com direção 345 Az e espaçamento de 15 metros foram conduzidas, com separação de 15 metros entre estações de medidas ao longo das linhas. Os resultados mostraram que as zonas de condutividade podem não estar diretamente relacionadas a zonas de maior densidade de fraturas e, consequentemente, maior saturação de água. As feições litológicas e estruturais, que não foram observadas diretamente em função da cobertura de solo possuem grande importância. Os perfis geofísicos associados a trabalho de campo de detalhe, através de observações em cacimbas escavadas para suprimento de água mostrou que para este caso a elevada capacidade de armazenamento de água subterrânea esta relacionada a dobramentos e ao sistema de fraturas em gnaisses intercalados com sheets de rochas graníticas.

A New Method for Calculating the Influx Index in Gas-Drive Reservoirs: A Case Study of the Kela-2 Gas Field

The calculation of the influx index is one of the most contentious issues in dynamic reserve evaluation of gas reservoirs’ development. For the influx index, it is key to obtain information on the pore compressibility coefficient under realistic gas reservoir pressure. So far, little is known about the assessment of the pore compressibility coefficient at a laboratory scale. Here, we combine observations of gas flowmeter, ISCO booster pump, intermediate container, and rock samples to quantify the pore compressibility coefficient from the KL2-13 well in the Kela-2 reservoir. Additionally, the iterative method (combined the static and dynamic methods) is proposed based on the experimentally obtained pore compressibility coefficient (Cf), dynamic reserve (G), water body multiple (β), and material balance equation to calculate the influx index. The combined iterative method adjusts the values of G and N by comparing the results of the static and dynamic methods, and iteratively corrects Cf using a binary search method until the results of the static and dynamic methods are consistent. The results of our study reveal that the influx index calculated by the dynamic and static methods was consistent, and the gas production per unit pressure drop matched the actual production. These results strongly suggest that there exists a correlation between formation pressure and the influx index, wherein the latter exhibits a gradual decrease as the former decreases. Conversely, the displacement index of both the rock and connate water do not demonstrate a significant dependence on pressure. Furthermore, the impact of pressure on the pore compressibility factor and reservoir water compressibility factor appears to be minimal. These findings hold substantial implications for understanding the behavior of gas reservoirs under varying pressure conditions.
