Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coal mines, and relates to an experimental device and method for evaluating the hydraulic fracturing and permeability enhancement effect of cross-layer boreholes in coal seams. Background Art
[0002] In order to improve the extraction efficiency and effectively eliminate coal seam gas disasters, it is necessary to take permeability enhancement measures for coal seams. Hydraulic fracturing is a permeability enhancement technology that has developed rapidly in recent years and has achieved good permeability enhancement effects in many coal mines in China.
[0003] In order to optimize the hydraulic fracturing parameters, explore the mechanism of hydraulic fracturing and the initiation and propagation laws of fractures, and provide theoretical support for on-site hydraulic fracturing, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a large number of similar simulation experiments of hydraulic fracturing in the laboratory. The previous similar simulation experiment method was to inject high-pressure liquid into a prefabricated coal sample and observe the water pressure, stress and fracture propagation during fracturing. The drilling depth in the coal sample used in the experiment was half of the height of the coal sample. After sealing the borehole, fracturing was carried out, and no adsorbed gas was present in the coal sample. Although this method is conducive to studying the initiation and propagation of fractures during hydraulic fracturing, it has a large difference from the actual situation of cross-layer borehole hydraulic fracturing in coal mines, and cannot fully restore the state of fractures in the coal seam after cross-layer borehole hydraulic fracturing in coal mines, cannot restore the gas-containing state of the coal seam, cannot quantitatively evaluate the gas permeability of the coal sample, and cannot evaluate the permeability enhancement effect of hydraulic fracturing.
[0004] Therefore, establishing a similar simulation experiment method for cross-layer borehole hydraulic fracturing in coal seams and a method for evaluating the permeability enhancement effect of hydraulic fracturing is of great significance for restoring the actual situation of cross-layer borehole hydraulic fracturing in coal mines and evaluating the permeability enhancement effect after fracturing. Summary of the Invention

By conducting similar simulation experiments of hydraulic fracturing in the laboratory, the actual situation of cross-layer borehole hydraulic fracturing in coal mines is restored, the permeability enhancement effect of hydraulic fracturing is quantitatively evaluated, and it provides a reference for on-site construction.

[0012] Based on the similar simulation experiment of hydraulic fracturing in coal seam cross-cut boreholes and the evaluation method of permeability enhancement effect of the device, the method includes the following steps:
[0013] Step 1: Determine experimental parameters; [[ID=1s3]]
[0014] According to the actual underground coal seam occurrence conditions, fracturing parameters and coal seam physical and mechanical parameters, determine the experimental axial pressure, confining pressure, pore pressure, borehole size, fracturing flow rate and fracturing time based on the similarity theory;
[0015] Step 2: Manufacture and install experimental test pieces;
[0016] Take on-site samples to make standard test pieces, drill holes in the center of the test pieces according to the borehole size, and put in the hole protection tubes; use a triaxial rock mechanics testing machine as the experimental device, install the coal samples in the sample chamber of the triaxial testing machine, and use a heat shrinkable tube to wrap the coal samples tightly to ensure the airtightness of the coal samples;
[0017] Step 3: Apply stress;
[0018] Apply axial pressure and confining pressure to the coal samples according to the designed experimental parameters;
[0019] Step 4: Inflate and adsorb;
[0020] Close the outlet valve, open the inlet valve, and introduce the experimental gas into the sample chamber through the air / liquid inlet pipe. After the coal samples are saturated with adsorption, close the inlet valve;
[0021] Step 5: First flow rate test;
[0022] After the coal samples are saturated with adsorption, open the outlet valve, and test the gas flow rate through the flow meter. Stop recording when the gas flow rate decays to 0;
[0023] Step 6: Inflate and adsorb again;
[0024] Close the outlet valve, open the inlet valve, introduce the experimental gas into the sample chamber, and close the inlet valve after the coal samples are saturated with adsorption;
[0025] Step 7: Determination of fracturing parameters;
[0026] During the hydraulic fracturing of coal seams, three different injection pressures, namely fixed-flow hydraulic fracturing, medium-pressure water injection, and low-pressure water injection, are selected to simulate the fracturing conditions near the fracturing borehole, at the distal end of the fracturing effect, and at the end of the fracturing effect respectively; the fracturing pressure is P 压 ; The area where the fluid pressure drop is 0 is defined as the vicinity of the fracturing borehole, and the position where the fluid pressure drop is P 压 / 2 is defined as the distal end of the fracturing effect, and the position where the fluid pressure drop is P 压 / n is defined as the end of the fracturing effect; 10 ≥ n ≥ 5;
[0027] (1) Fixed-flow hydraulic fracturing, that is, according to the fracturing flow rate determined in Step 1, inject fracturing fluid into the coal sample until the specimen is fractured, and obtain the fracturing pressure P 压 ;
[0028] (2) Medium-pressure water injection, inject fracturing fluid into the coal sample in a fixed-pressure manner, the injection pressure is P 压 / 2, and the injection time is the fracturing time determined in Step 1;

[0030] Step 8: Hydraulic fracturing and second flow rate test;
[0031] According to the determined hydraulic fracturing parameters; open the inlet valve, inject fracturing fluid into the coal sample, start the experiment, monitor the injection pressure in the specimen until the fracturing time is completed; after the hydraulic fracturing is completed, open the outlet valve, test the liquid flow rate through the change in the mass of the gas-liquid separator, test the gas flow rate through the flow meter, and stop recording when the gas flow rate decays to 0;
[0032] Step 9: Calculation of gas permeability coefficient;
[0033] Based on the measured relationship between the gas flow rate and time, the corresponding gas permeability coefficient is calculated by the following formula;
[0034]
[0035] In the formula: q is the specific flow rate, m 3 / (m 2 ·d); λ is the gas permeability coefficient of the coal sample, m 2 / (MPa 2 ·d); λ = k / 2μp a , k is the permeability of the coal sample, m 2; μ is the hydrodynamic viscosity, MPa·d; P a is the atmospheric pressure under standard conditions, 0.1013 MPa; P is the square of the gas pressure, P = p 2 , MPa 2 ; p is the gas pressure, MPa; r is the distance from any point of the coal sample to the center of the borehole, m; P0 is the square of the original gas pressure of the coal seam, MPa 2 ; r0 is the borehole radius, m; r1 is the sample radius, m; P1 is the borehole gas pressure, MPa;
[0036] For the coal sample after fracturing, the permeability coefficient after fracturing is calculated using the relationship between the gas flow rate after no liquid is discharged and the change with time;
[0037] Step 10: Evaluation of the permeability enhancement effect;
[0038] Based on the calculated permeability coefficients of the coal sample before and after fracturing / water injection, calculate the permeability enhancement coefficient according to the following formula, and evaluate the permeability enhancement effect of hydraulic fracturing based on the value of the permeability enhancement coefficient:
[0039] When the permeability enhancement effect is effective, α1 > 1.1 near the fracturing borehole, α2 ≥ 0.8 at the far end of the fracturing effect, and α3 ≥ 0.6 at the end of the fracturing effect;
[0040] When the permeability enhancement effect is ineffective, α1 ≤ 1.1 near the fracturing borehole, α2 < 0.8 at the far end of the fracturing effect, and α3 < 0.6 at the end of the fracturing effect;
[0041] Calculate the permeability enhancement coefficient:
[0042]
[0043] In the formula: α i is the permeability enhancement coefficient, i = 1, 2, 3, respectively representing the permeability enhancement coefficients near the fracturing borehole, at the far end of the fracturing effect, and at the end of the fracturing effect; λ i1 is the permeability coefficient of the coal sample before hydraulic fracturing, m 2 / (MPa 2 ·d); λ i2 is the permeability coefficient of the coal sample after hydraulic fracturing, m 2 / (MPa 2 ·d); When α1 > 1, it indicates that the hydraulic fracturing is effective; when α1 ≥ 1.5, it indicates that the permeability enhancement effect is good; when α1 ≤ 1, it indicates that the hydraulic fracturing is ineffective.
[0044] Optionally, the hole protection pipe is a metal pipe with a wall thickness of 1 mm and small holes with a diameter of 1 mm.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0046] The fracturing process of this method is to apply the hydraulic pressure provided by the laboratory hydraulic fracturing system to the coal sample with prefabricated boreholes. By monitoring parameters such as the pumping pressure and flow rate during the fracturing process, the simulation experiment of the laboratory hydraulic fracturing process can be achieved. Different from the conventional hydraulic fracturing similarity simulation experiment, in this experiment, the borehole penetrates the entire coal sample, and during the hydraulic fracturing process, the entire coal sample is under the action of water pressure. In addition, before hydraulic fracturing, the coal sample needs to be saturated with CO2 / CH4 gas to simulate the gas-containing state of the actual coal seam. The evaluation method for the permeability enhancement effect of hydraulic fracturing is to calculate the corresponding permeability coefficient based on the variation law of the gas flow rate measured before and after the hydraulic fracturing of the coal sample, and evaluate the permeability enhancement effect of hydraulic fracturing through the ratio of the permeability coefficients measured before and after hydraulic fracturing.

[0059] A specimen 5 is arranged between the heat - shrinkable tube 3 and the hole - protecting tube 13; the specimen 5 is filled with an experimental gas 6.
[0060] As Figure 2 shown, it is a method for similar simulation experiment of hydraulic fracturing of cross - seam boreholes and permeability - enhancement effect evaluation.
[0061] Step 1: Determine the experimental parameters.
[0062] Based on the actual underground coal seam occurrence conditions, fracturing parameters, and physical and mechanical parameters of the coal seam, the experimental axial pressure, confining pressure, pore pressure, borehole size, fracturing flow rate, and fracturing time are determined based on the similarity theory.
[0063] Step 2: Fabrication and installation of experimental specimens.
[0064] Samples are taken from the field and made into standard specimens. A borehole is drilled in the center of the specimen according to the borehole size, and the hole protection tube 13 is placed. The hole protection tube 13 is a metal tube with a wall thickness of 1 mm and small holes with a diameter of 1 mm. Using a triaxial rock mechanics testing machine as the experimental device, the coal sample is installed in the sample chamber of the triaxial testing machine, and the coal sample is wrapped tightly with the heat shrinkable tube 3 to ensure the airtightness of the coal sample, as Figure 2 shown.
[0065] Step 3: Stress loading.
[0066] Apply axial pressure and confining pressure to the coal sample according to the designed experimental parameters.
[0067] Step 4: Inflation and adsorption.
[0068] Close the outlet valve 10, open the inlet valve 9, and introduce the experimental gas 6 into the sample chamber through the inlet / outlet liquid pipe 4. After the coal sample is saturated with adsorption, close the inlet valve 9.
[0069] Step 5: First flow rate test.
[0070] After the coal sample is saturated with adsorption, open the outlet valve 10, and test the gas flow rate through the flowmeter 12. Stop recording when the gas flow rate decays to 0.
[0071] Step 6: Re-inflation and adsorption.
[0072] Close the outlet valve 10, open the inlet valve 9, introduce the experimental gas into the sample chamber, and close the inlet valve 9 after the coal sample is saturated with adsorption.
[0073] Step 7: Determination of fracturing parameters.
[0074] During the hydraulic fracturing of the coal seam, due to the fluid pressure drop, the effective pressures on the coal bodies at different distances from the borehole are different, and the fracturing degree of the coal seam is also different. Therefore, in the experiment, fixed-flow hydraulic fracturing (fracturing pressure P 压 ), medium-pressure water injection, and low-pressure water injection are selected for three different liquid injection pressures to simulate the fracturing conditions near the fracturing borehole, at the distal end of the fracturing effect, and at the end of the fracturing effect respectively. The area where the fluid pressure drop is 0 is defined as near the fracturing borehole, the position where the fluid pressure drop is P 压 / 2 is defined as the distal end of the fracturing effect, and the position where the fluid pressure drop is P 压 / n (10 ≥ n ≥ 5, judged according to P 压 etc.) is defined as the end of the fracturing effect.
[0075] (1) Fixed flow hydraulic fracturing, that is, according to the fracturing flow determined in step 1, the fracturing fluid is injected into the coal sample until the fracturing of the specimen 5 is completed. At this time, the fracturing pressure P can be obtained. 压 .
[0076] (2) Medium pressure water injection: inject fracturing fluid into the coal sample at a fixed pressure. The injection pressure is P 压 / 2, the injection time is the fracturing time determined in step 1.
[0077] (3) Low-pressure water injection: inject fracturing fluid into the coal sample at a fixed pressure. The injection pressure is P 压 / n. The injection time is the fracturing time determined in step 1.
[0078] Step 8: Hydraulic fracturing and second flow test.
[0079] Based on the determined hydraulic fracturing parameters, the inlet valve 9 is opened to inject fracturing fluid into the coal sample, and the experiment begins. The injection pressure within the test piece is monitored until the fracturing time is complete. After hydraulic fracturing is complete, the outlet valve 10 is opened. The liquid flow rate is measured by the mass change of the gas-water separator 11, and the gas flow rate is measured by the flowmeter 12. Recording stops when the gas flow rate decays to zero.
[0080] Step 9: Calculation of air permeability coefficient.
[0081] Based on the relationship between the measured gas flow rate and its change over time, the corresponding permeability coefficient can be calculated using the following formula.
[0082]
[0083] Where: q is the specific flow rate, m 3 / (m 2 ·d); λ is the permeability coefficient of the coal sample, m 2 / (MPa 2 ·d); λ=k / 2μp a , k is the permeability of the coal sample, m 2 ; μ is the fluid dynamic viscosity, MPa·d; P a is the atmospheric pressure under standard conditions, 0.1013 MPa; P is the square of the gas pressure, P = p 2 , MPa 2 ; p is the gas pressure, MPa; r is the distance from any point of the coal sample to the center of the borehole, m; P0 is the square of the original gas pressure of the coal seam, MPa 2 ; r0 is the borehole radius, m; r1 is the sample radius, m; P1 is the borehole gas pressure, MPa.
[0084] For the coal samples after fracturing, the gas permeability coefficient after fracturing is calculated using the relationship between the gas flow rate without liquid discharge and the change over time.
[0085] Step 10: Evaluation of permeability enhancement effect.
[0086] Based on the calculated gas permeability coefficients of the coal samples before and after fracturing / water injection, the permeability enhancement coefficient is calculated according to the following formula, and the hydraulic fracturing permeability enhancement effect is evaluated by referring to Table 1 based on the value of the permeability enhancement coefficient.
[0087]
[0088] In the formula: α i is the permeability enhancement coefficient, i = 1, 2, 3, representing the permeability enhancement coefficients near the fracturing borehole, at the distal end of the fracturing effect, and at the end of the fracturing effect respectively; λ i1 is the gas permeability coefficient of the coal sample before hydraulic fracturing, m 2 / (MPa 2 ·d); λ i2 is the gas permeability coefficient of the coal sample after hydraulic fracturing, m 2 / (MPa 2 ·d). When α1 > 1, it indicates that the hydraulic fracturing is effective; when α1 ≥ 1.5, it indicates that the permeability enhancement effect is good; when α1 ≤ 1, it indicates that the hydraulic fracturing is ineffective.
