    Abstract: A method for enhanced interventional imaging for cracks, improving the precision in observing cracks in rock hydraulic fracturing test, benefiting for scientifically understanding regular pattern of development of hydraulically fractured cracks in rocks. The technical solution comprises: hydraulically fracturing the rock with aqueous solutions containing nanoscale interventional contrast-enhanced agent which has a high atomic number; forming hydraulically fractured cracks, wherein the difference in mass attenuation coefficient μ/ρ of x-ray between the cracks and the rock is improved by the interventional contrast-enhanced agent in the cracks, moreover, the difference in mass energy absorption coefficient μen/ρ of x-ray between the cracks and the rock is improved, then the linear attenuation coefficient of the reception of detector is changed, improving the imaging resolution for hydraulically fractured cracks in the rock.

    Abstract: A method for imaging three-dimensional topography with high precision, which overcomes the disadvantage and deficiency of low precision in observing three-dimensional topography of hydraulically fractured cracks of rocks, improve the precision in observing three-dimensional topography of cracks in rock hydraulic fracturing test, and benefit for scientifically understanding regular pattern of development of hydraulically fractured cracks of rocks. The technical solution comprises: hydraulically fracturing the rock with aqueous solution containing fluorine nuclides; forming hydraulically fractured cracks; in the process of fracturing, loading a fracturing apparatus while rotating the same; emitting an x-ray beam from an x-ray source, which penetrates the rock and reaches a CT detector; optical signals transmitted by the fluorine nuclides inside the rock being received by a high resolution planar array SiPM detector for nuclides; performing image fusion of nuclides tomographic scanning data and CT data to implement high precision imaging for three-dimensional topography of cracks in rocks.

    Abstract: A drilling method and a drilling apparatus are provided. In the method, the feature parameter of the stratum around the well, the feature parameter of the stratum in front of the drill bit, the preset drilling parameter, the preset trajectory parameter, the current pose of the drill bit and the current rate of penetration of the drill bit are obtained; the feature parameter of the reservoir in front of the drill bit is determined based on the feature parameter of the stratum around the well and the feature parameter of the stratum in front of the drill bit; the above parameters are inputted to the pre-trained drilling parameter modification model to obtain drilling trajectory parameter and drilling speed parameters; and the drilling direction and the rate of penetration are regulated based on the above parameters.
