“…During the hydraulic fracturing operation, it is also necessary to monitor the hydraulic fractures in real-time, obtain parameters such as fracture network shape, map the actual shape of the hydraulic fractures, and use these as a theoretical basis to optimize the fracturing design, in order to provide guidance for subsequent fracturing operations in unconventional oil and gas wells presenting similar geological conditions. 159 Microseismic monitoring is one of the most commonly used hydraulic fracturing monitoring techniques in the field, which is also the most effective and intuitive hydraulic fracture monitoring method. 160 Microseismic monitoring technology can characterize the height, length, spacing, location, and shape of hydraulic fracturing fractures, but it cannot accurately explain the geometry of connected fractures or obtain the reservoir proppant distribution and the permeability of fluid in the fracture network in an accurate and real-time manner; further, it cannot be used to accurately evaluate the actual shape of the reservoir fracture network and fracturing effect.…”

“…When using hydraulic fracturing technology to reconstruct unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, it is usually necessary to obtain the original parameters, such as reservoir physical properties, natural fracture distribution, fault characteristics, and fluid types, in order to formulate a reasonable fracturing operation scheme.

The application of hydraulic fracturing stimulation technology to improve the productivity of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs is a well-established practice. With the increasing exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources, the associated geological conditions and physical properties are gradually becoming more and more complex. Therefore, it is necessary to develop technologies that can improve the development benefits to meet these challenges. In recent years, improving the effect of hydraulic fracturing stimulation in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs through the use of nanomaterials and technologies has attracted increasing attention. In this paper, we review the current status and research progress of the application of nanomaterials and technologies in various aspects of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, expound the mechanism and advantages of these nanomaterials and technologies in detail, and provide future research directions. The reviewed literature indicates that nanomaterials and technologies show exciting potential applications in the hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs; for example, the sand-carrying and rheological properties of fracturing fluids can be significantly enhanced through the addition of nanomaterials. The use of nanomaterials to modify proppants can improve their compressive strength, thus meeting the needs of different reservoir conditions. The fracturing flowback fluid treatment efficiency and purification effect can be improved through the use of nanophotocatalysis and nanomembrane technologies, while degradable fracturing completion tools developed based on nanomaterials can effectively improve the efficiency of fracturing operations. Nanorobots and magnetic nanoparticles can be used to more efficiently monitor hydraulic fracturing and to accurately map the hydraulic fracture morphology. However, due to the complex preparation process and high cost of nanomaterials, more work is needed to fully investigate the application mechanisms of nanomaterials and technologies, as well as to evaluate the economic feasibility of these exciting technologies. The main research objective of this review is to comprehensively summarize the application and research progress of nanomaterials and technologies in various aspects of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, analyze the existing problems and challenges, and propose some targeted forward-looking recommendations, which may be helpful for future research and applications.

This paper presents an approach to access real time data from underground mine. Two advance technologies are presented that can improve the adverse environmental effect of underground mine. Visible light communication (VLC) technology is incorporated to estimate the location of miners inside the mine. The distribution of signal to noise ratio (SNR) for VLC system is also studied. In the second part of the paper, long range (LoRa) technology is introduced for transmitting underground information to above the surface control room. This paper also includes details of the LoRa technology, and presents comparison of ranges with existing above the surface technologies.

“…It was shown in [109] that using of meta-material coil provide better capacity for the same transmission distance. Authors in [110] and [111] evaluated the performance of IoUT for sandy and stone type of media where it was shown that the receiver sensitivity should be -70 dBm. Table V summarizes the literature on the various physical layer issues of MI-based IoUT.…”

This paper provides recent advances in the area of Internet of Underground Things (IoUT) with emphasis on enabling communication technologies, networking issues, and localization techniques. IoUT is enabled by underground things (sensors), communication technology, and networking protocols. This new paradigm of IoUT facilitates the integration of sensing and communication in the underground environment for various industries, such as oil and gas, agriculture, seismic mapping, and border monitoring. These applications require to gather relevant information from the deployed underground things. However, the harsh underground propagation environment including sand, rock, and watersheds do not allow the use of single communication technology for information transfer between the surface and the underground things. Therefore, various wireless and wired communication technologies are used for underground communication. The wireless technologies are based on acoustic waves, electromagnetic waves, magnetic induction and visible light communication while the wired technologies use coaxial cable and optical fibers. In this paper, state-of-art communication technologies are surveyed, and the respective networking and localization techniques for IoUT are presented. Moreover, the advances and applications of IoUT are also reported. Also, new research challenges for the design and implementation of IoUT are identified.
