The book presents short papers of participants of the 11th International Scientific Conference and School for Young Scientists «Physical and Mathematical Modeling of Earth and Environment Processes. The book includes theoretical and experimental studies of processes in the atmosphere, oceans, the lithosphere and their interaction; environmental issues; problems of human impact on the environment; methods of geophysical research. Research on the dynamics of natural systems--including the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, as well as their interactions--alongside the human influence on natural processes, ranks among the most pressing and practically significant scientific challenges today. Advances in these fields have been driven by several key factors. The widespread adoption of computer technology has enabled the simulation and analysis of complex phenomena that were previously beyond reach. Meanwhile, the development and refinement of next-generation geophysical instruments and remote sensing systems--deployed on ships, aircraft, and satellites--have provided vast amounts of observational data, offering an objective representation of these processes. The studies compiled in this book also highlight the critical role of laboratory modeling in investigating geo-environmental processes and validating newly developed physical and mathematical models. Advances in measurement techniques, optical imaging, and other technologies have opened new possibilities for generating controlled, reproducible laboratory data, fostering the emergence of innovative ideas and concepts.
The steady influx of high-resolution experimental data further stimulates the development of analytical and numerical models to better understand dynamic processes across Earth's three major environmental systems. A special focus is given to the extraction of hydrocarbon resources, including from unconventional sources. An alternative to the use of hydrocarbons as a main source of energy on the Planet in the coming decades is unlikely to be found. At the same time, the resource base of hydrocarbons is quickly depleted, in particularly, large and accessible oil and gas fields. The shale oil and gas, Arctic hydrocarbon stocks, gas hydrates, coal bed methane, oil and gas from deep horizons can become new sources. "Deep oil" may be the most promising source of expanding the resource base of hydrocarbons according to many experts. New technologies are required to their development. Efficient low-cost technologies can be created on the basis of geomechanical approach, i.
e. through the use of a huge elastic energy stored in the rock massif due to rock pressure. The creation of new breakthrough approaches to the development of hydrocarbon fields is very important in today's geopolitical conditions, and requires the involvement of young minds and strength. International activities, including the youth scientific schools can become an effective tool for exchange of information and the organizing of interdisciplinary research of processes in geo-environment. The book presents the new results of the experimental and theoretical modeling of deformation, fracture and filtration processes in the rocks in connection to issues of creating scientific fundamentals for new hydrocarbon production technologies. The investigations of the dependence of well stability and permeability of rocks on the stress-strain state in conditions of deep horizons and high rock pressure are represented.
