Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coalbed methane drainage experiments, and in particular to a method for testing the overflow replenishment amount and dynamic changes of parameters of a coalbed methane well. Background Art

[0002] Coalbed methane is mainly stored in coal reservoirs in an adsorbed state. Today, surface coalbed methane development often uses drainage and pressure reduction methods to convert adsorbed methane gas in coal seams into free gas and drain it to the ground together with water. Drainage is carried out in three-dimensional space. The difference in the properties of surrounding rocks and coal seams may lead to overflow recharge during drainage. Differences and dynamic changes in the ground stress state, permeability, surrounding rock sealing performance and water content of coal reservoirs lead to changes in the amount of overflow recharge during drainage, affecting gas production.

[0003] At present, the method of testing the porosity and permeability of cores is often used. The mathematical model for identifying inter-coal seam overflow recharge is constructed by applying the seepage theory. The presence of overflow recharge is identified by combining the hydrogeological conditions and reservoir parameters, and verified by the actual drainage data of coalbed methane wells. Since the cores are disturbed and mechanically crushed during the collection process, the collected cores cannot truly reflect the actual situation of the formation in situ. At the same time, due to the constraints of experimental conditions, it is often impossible to measure the dynamic changes of the entire process of overflow recharge in real time. There are certain limitations in the understanding of overflow recharge and its impact. Alternatively, numerical simulation software is used to simulate the overflow recharge situation. Whether the simulation parameter settings can objectively and truly reflect the actual situation on site, as well as human subjectivity, may ultimately lead to a wide range of simulation results, which cannot objectively and truly reflect the actual situation. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a test method for the overflow recharge and dynamic changes of parameters of coalbed methane wells, which can monitor the interlayer overflow recharge and dynamic changes of parameters during drainage under different reservoir parameters in real time on the basis of a relatively realistic restoration of the in-situ reservoir conditions, in order to make an accurate judgment on whether overflow recharge can occur during drainage under different reservoir geological conditions, thereby guiding coalbed methane development. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for testing the dynamic change of overflow recharge and parameters of coalbed methane wells. The present invention can more realistically restore the in-situ reservoir conditions, and can more accurately judge whether overflow recharge can occur during drainage under conditions such as reservoir permeability, reservoir geostress state, and recharge inflow conditions. It can monitor in real time the conditions for overflow recharge and the changes in overflow recharge under different conditions, and provide a theoretical basis for the study of the changing law of overflow recharge.

[0022] Step (I) is as follows: before the experiment begins, the required core units are first produced. The core units include all possible reservoir lithologies existing between coal seams: mudstone, sandy mudstone, siltstone, fine-grained sandstone, medium-grained sandstone, coarse-grained sandstone, shale and limestone. Then the types of gas and liquid required for the experiment and the required state of the reservoir are determined. At the same time, the initial state and experimental state of the gas-liquid environment simulation system are determined and formulated, such as environmental pressure, fluid flow rate, and fluid flow rate.

[0023] Step (iii) is specifically as follows: close the first stop valve and the second stop valve, start the first constant speed constant pressure pump, and the gas in the first high-pressure methane cylinder is transported to the upper transport channel through the first constant speed constant pressure pump via the first gas transport pipeline and the first two-phase flow transport pipeline, and the pressure in the pipeline is monitored in real time by the first constant speed constant pressure pump. When the pressure is displayed as 2MPa, close the first constant speed constant pressure pump and stop injecting gas. After a period of time, observe whether the pressure display of the third constant speed constant pressure pump is consistent with the pressure display of the first constant speed constant pressure pump to detect the air tightness of the overall device;

[0024] Step (iv) is specifically as follows: start the first constant speed and constant pressure pump, the second constant speed and constant pressure pump, the third constant speed and constant pressure pump and the fourth constant speed and constant pressure pump, then the first high-pressure methane cylinder delivers gas to the first two-phase flow delivery pipeline through the first constant speed and constant pressure pump and the first gas delivery pipeline, the first water tank delivers liquid to the first two-phase flow delivery pipeline through the second constant speed and constant pressure pump and the first liquid delivery pipeline, and then the first two-phase flow delivery pipeline delivers the gas-liquid mixed fluid to the upper delivery channel to simulate the replenishment inflow environment, and similarly, the second high-pressure methane cylinder delivers gas to the second two-phase flow delivery pipeline through the third constant speed and constant pressure pump and the second gas delivery pipeline. The gas is transported in the two-phase flow transport pipeline, and the second water tank transports liquid to the second two-phase flow transport pipeline through the fourth constant speed and constant pressure pump and the second liquid transport pipeline, and then the second two-phase flow transport pipeline transports the gas-liquid mixed fluid to the lower transport channel to simulate the coal seam environment during coalbed methane extraction; the first constant speed and constant pressure pump, the second constant speed and constant pressure pump, the third constant speed and constant pressure pump and the fourth constant speed and constant pressure pump are adjusted to adjust the initial gas-liquid flow rate injected into the upper transport channel and the lower transport channel, and the gas-liquid injection is continuously performed until the initial state of the gas-liquid environment simulation system determined in the experimental plan is reached.

[0025] Step (V) is specifically as follows: by studying the actual reservoir state, the prepared core units are arranged and combined according to the actual situation, the lithology of the inter-coal seam reservoir is simulated under the actual situation, the side plates at the front side of each inter-coal seam reservoir channel are opened, and the assembled core units are placed into the corresponding inter-coal seam reservoir channel at one time, so that each core unit is supported on the corresponding supporting plates respectively, and then each side plate is installed, and then the corresponding confining pressure pumps are started, and the corresponding pressure transmission rods are adjusted through the pressure stop valves to change the confining pressure of the core unit under different gradients in the corresponding inter-coal seam reservoir channel. Each core unit can be set to four confining pressure states, thereby better simulating the reservoir stress state under the actual state. At the same time, the confining pressure can also change the permeability of the core unit, debug the high-performance computer, open the adjustment interface, and select the file saving location, so that the high-performance computer starts real-time recording. The high-performance computer records the stress state of each core unit in real time through each stress sensor.

[0026] Step (six) is specifically as follows: by regulating the first constant speed constant pressure pump, the second constant speed constant pressure pump, the third constant speed constant pressure pump and the fourth constant speed constant pressure pump, respectively changing the experimental conditions in the upper conveying channel and the lower conveying channel: environmental pressure, fluid flow rate, fluid flow rate, so as to simulate the replenishment inflow environment under different conditions and the coal seam environment during the coalbed methane drainage process, each mass flow controller measures the mass of the gas-liquid fluid flowing through to obtain the gas-liquid fluid flow rate and flow rate, each display displays the flow data measured by the corresponding mass flow controller, stipulates that the flow rate of the gas-liquid fluid from top to bottom is displayed as positive, and the high-performance computer records the flow data measured by each mass flow controller in real time. The high-performance computer analyzes the basic data of each core unit, the stress state of each core unit and the recorded flow data measured by each mass flow controller, so as to monitor the conditions for the occurrence of overflow replenishment and the changes in the overflow replenishment amount under different conditions in real time, and provide a theoretical basis for the study of the law of the change of overflow replenishment amount;

[0027] Step (seven) is specifically as follows: after the experiment is over, the first stop valve, the second stop valve and the third stop valve are opened to allow the gas-liquid mixed fluid in the upper conveying channel and the lower conveying channel to enter the gas-liquid separator through the gas-liquid recovery pipeline and the third two-phase flow conveying pipeline, the gas-liquid mixed fluid is separated in the gas-liquid separator, the separated gas enters the gas collection bottle through the gas collection pipeline, and the separated liquid enters the liquid collection tank through the liquid collection pipeline, thereby completing the recovery of the experimental waste.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has outstanding substantial features and significant progress. Specifically, the present invention can more realistically restore the in-situ reservoir conditions, and can more accurately determine whether overflow recharge can occur during drainage under conditions such as reservoir permeability, reservoir geostress state, and recharge inflow conditions. It can monitor in real time the conditions for overflow recharge and the changes in overflow recharge amounts under different conditions, providing a theoretical basis for the study of the changing laws of overflow recharge amounts.
