Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unconventional natural gas development, and particularly relates to a multi-pressure system simulator and an operation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In areas with complex coalbed methane geological conditions, the most significant feature is the frequent vertical alternation of different lithologies, and there are often two or more gas-bearing systems with independent reservoir pressure systems vertically developed (abbreviation: multi-pressure system). For the accumulation characteristics of the multi-pressure system, the development mode of "one well producing multiple layers" is commonly used. Engineering practice shows that in the process of multi-pressure system development, there are often problems such as obvious differences in compatibility between different systems, prominent contradictions between systems, unsatisfactory gas production, and increased difficulty in implementing development technologies.
[0003] At present, most of the multi-pressure system simulators at home and abroad can only simulate one pressure system or two pressure systems. At the same time, the forming process of multi-pressure simulation is relatively rough, and the forming method is not optimized, resulting in a relatively small sealing pressure between different pressure systems.
