Overview on vertical and directional drilling technologies for the exploration and exploitation of deep petroleum resources
TL;DR: The vertical and directional drilling are the key technologies for the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas resources in deep formations as discussed by the authors, and they are also very important ways to exploit deep geothermal energy and geo-resources, conduct international continental scientific drilling program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction of an empirical TBM cutter wear prediction model for pyroclastic and mafic igneous rocks; a case history of Karaj water conveyance tunnel, Iran
TL;DR: In this article, a new empirical model for predicting cutter wear in moderate to very strong pyroclastic and mafic igneous rocks based on data collected from a long tunnel constructed by mechanized method in Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation on Triaxial Failure Mechanical Behavior of Rock-Like Specimen Containing Two Unparallel Fissures
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional particle flow code (PFC3D) was used for a systematic numerical simulation of the strength failure and cracking behavior of rock-like material specimens containing two unparallel fissures under conventional triaxial compression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges and opportunities of using tunnel boring machines in mining
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the technical challenges of using TBMs in mining since the pioneering work in the 1960s and provide corresponding mitigations measures to cope with complex grounds in mines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the dynamic failure of brittle rocks using a hybrid continuum-discrete element method with a mixed-mode cohesive fracture model
TL;DR: A cohesive fracture model that combines tension, compression and shear material behavior is implemented into the hybrid continuum-discrete element method, i.e., Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC), to simulate fracturing process in rock dynamic tests as discussed by the authors.
