One of the difficult issues in underground mining is the ground control of roadway subject to mining induced stresses. As a longwall face advances, the state of initial stresses dramatically changes. Accordingly, lateral abutment pressure forms on the pillar and frontal abutment pressure on the roof and lateral sides of the roadway. These pressures will lead to severe deformation and deterioration of the rock mass surrounding the entries. In this paper, a systemic study on this issue is proposed using the combination of numerical modeling and in-situ monitoring which was carried out at a coal mine in the Lu.An Group, China. The condition of stress redistribution caused by mining-induced stresses and the state of the surrounding rock mass of the roadway situated in front the work face are systematically investigated. Different patterns of support and reinforcement as well as their effects on the stability of the roadway are also presented.

The deformation of the oil sand matrix is an important issue given that in situ and well pumping induced stresses impact on the susceptibility of the oil reservoir to produce sand. Focusing on this problem, a fully coupled seepage-deformation-damage model is developed to simulate the enhanced sand production phenomena. Finite element method with explicit and sequential iterative algorithm is used to solve the coupled governing equation system. Simulation results relating perforation cavity propagation, sand production rate and cumulative sand production are presented. The study suggests that the proposed model may be used to generate quantitative information for predicting sand production and optimizing pressure drawdown.

Well bore stresses induced by inflatable packers during hydraulic fracturing operations are investigated. The geologic formation is modeled as an unbounded homogeneous isotropic linear elastic solid containing an infinitely long circular cavity, while the packer is modeled as a semi-infinite thin-walled circular cylindrical shell. For given packer properties, these induced stresses are shown to depend on the difference between packer pressure and fracturing pressure and can become significant. Typical numerical results are obtained and presented graphically. Analytical approximations for the maximum values of these stresses are also presented. While these effects are of no importance in the usual application of hydraulic fracturing to enhance oil and gas recovery, they are crucial in attempts to estimate in-situ stresses from hydraulic fracturing pressure data.
