There was a mistake in Figures 1, 5, 6 as published. All coordinates in the figures have been removed. Figure 10 has also been updated to improve the clarity of the y-axis. The corrected figures appear below.

FIGURE 1

Geological map showing the Hutubi Fault and North Fault of HU001 well, highlighted in red. Yellow shaded areas represent gas-bearing zones with labeled wells including reinjection, abandoned, water, and monitoring wells. Contour lines depict elevation changes. A legend in the bottom left corner explains symbols used for different well types and geological features.

Geologic background of the research area.

FIGURE 5

Five contour maps illustrating various geological features with color gradients and labeled measurement points. Maps (a), (b), and (c) showcase different intensity distributions, from green to red, indicating higher values. Maps (d) and (e) use blue, green, and red to denote geological variations, with detailed labels and scale indicators. Each map incorporates a north arrow for orientation and a scale bar for measurement reference.

Distribution Characteristics of sandstone bodies and interlayer for the second member of the Paleogene Ziniquanzi Formation sandstone from the Hutubi gas storage: (a–c) The sandstone bodies distribution characteristics of E1-2z21-1, E1-2z21-2 and E1-2z22; (d,e) The interlayer distribution characteristics between E1-2z21 and E1-2z22, E1-2z21-1 and E1-2z21-2.

FIGURE 6

Nine contour maps labeled (a) to (i), showing variations in geological data such as porosity and permeability. Each map displays a color gradient with scale bars indicating specific values. Maps are oriented diagonally, featuring contour lines, and are marked with locations labeled with alphanumeric codes. The maps highlight different data distributions across the same geographic area, using distinct color scales and contour patterns for each representation.

The Distribution Characteristics of porosity, permeability and formation factor of the second member of the Paleogene Ziniquanzi Formation sandstone from the Hutubi gas storage: (a–c) The porosity distribution characteristics of E1-2z21-1, E1-2z21-2 and E1-2z22; (d–f) The permeability distribution characteristics of E1-2z21-1, E1-2z21-2 and E1-2z22; (g–i) The formation factor distribution characteristics of E1-2z21-1, E1-2z21-2 and E1-2z22.

FIGURE 10

Eight color-coded diagrams (a to h) depicting geological cross-sections with data on saturation levels. Each uses a color gradient from blue to red, indicating different saturation levels. Labels such as HUK1, HUK2, and others are marked, denoting specific points or areas within the sections. Arrows and dashed circles highlight particular zones, with each diagram slightly varying in distribution and color intensity. A color legend is present in each image, showing saturation values from 0.17 to 0.98.

The water invasion characteristics of the second member of the Paleogene Ziniquanzi Formation sandstone from the Hutubi gas storage at the end of development and the seventh cycle of gas production: (a,b) The water invasion characteristics in the western area of E1-2z21 gas reservoir at the end of development and the seventh cycle of gas production; (c,d) The water invasion characteristics of the 7th layer in the western area of E1-2z21 gas reservoir at the end of development and the seventh cycle of gas production; (e,f) The water invasion characteristics of the 7th layer in the eastern area of E1-2z21 gas reservoir at the end of development and the seventh cycle of gas production; (g,h) The water invasion characteristics of the 12th layer of E1-2z22 gas reservoir at the end of development and the seventh cycle of gas production.
