Tectonically Deformed Coal

Tectonically deformed coal (TDC) has a significant influence on coalbed methane recovery. Well-logging is a reliable and efficient way to predict the development of TDCs for understanding the role of TDC on the productivity of coalbed methane (CBM) wells. However, there has been insufficient research regarding both the static physical properties and dynamic invasion of mud-filtrate related to TDCs. Therefore, a new TDC-detecting approach using two indicators of the relative physical properties and fluid attributes was proposed. Through the data normalization and optimization of correlation coefficients and factor analysis, five logs were chosen to construct the two indicators, and three types of TDC were recognized: I—undeformed or cataclastic; II—granulated; and III—mylonitized. It was found out that the identification error rate decreased from 30% to 15%. Furthermore, the thickness ratio of a well-preserved coal layer derived from TDC interpretation was adopted to correlate the gas production of a coal seam. An application in the Hancheng block demonstrated that the thickness ratio of 60% is an explicit threshold value to distinguish between high-yield well (>1000 m3/d) and low-yield one (<750 m3/d). The development of granulated and mylonitized coals mainly exerts negative influence on CBM well production.

Enhanced Coalbed Methane

The reservoir permeability dominates the transport of gas and water in coal seam. However, coal seams rich in gas usually contain various pores and fractures blocked by a large amount of minerals, which leads to an ultra-low permeability and gas extraction rate, and thus an increase of drilling workload. We first propose a thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical coupled model (THMC) for the acid fracturing enhanced coalbed methane recovery (AF-ECBM). Then, this model is applied to simulate the variation of key parameters during AF-ECBM using a 2D geometry. The effect of different extraction schedules are comparatively analyzed to give an insight into these complex coupling responses in coal seam. Result confirms that the AF-ECBM is an effective way to increase the reservoir permeability and improve the gas production using the proposed model. The range of permeability increment zone increases most dramatically in the way of acid fracturing, followed by none-acid fracturing and acidizing over time. The gas production in order is: acid fracturing (AF-ECBM) > fracturing (F-ECBM) > acidification (A-ECBM)> direct extraction (D-CBM).

Coal Reservoir

Due to the unique adsorption and desorption characteristics of coal, coal reservoir permeability changes dynamically during coalbed methane (CBM) development. Coal reservoirs can be classified using a permeability dynamic characterization in different production stages. In the single-phase water flow stage, four demarcating pressures are defined based on the damage from the effective stress on reservoir permeability. Coal reservoirs are classified into vulnerable, alleviative, and invulnerable reservoirs. In the gas desorption stage, two demarcating pressures are used to quantitatively characterize the recovery properties of permeability based on the recovery effect of the matrix shrinkage on permeability, namely the rebound pressure (the pressure corresponding to the lowest permeability) and recovery pressure (the pressure when permeability returns to initial permeability). Coal reservoirs are further classified into recoverable and unrecoverable reservoirs. The physical properties and influencing factors of these demarcating pressures are analyzed. Twenty-six wells from the Shizhuangnan Block in the southern Qinshui Basin of China were examined as a case study, showing that there is a significant correspondence between coal reservoir types and CBM well gas production. This study is helpful for identifying geological conditions of coal reservoirs as well as the productivity potential of CBM wells.
