Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal fracturing detection, and in particular to a method for evaluating the fracturing effect of horizontally cut carbon dioxide blasting on similar coal bodies. Background Technology
[0002] my country's coal resources are characterized by complex and variable occurrences, with deep mines generally suffering from high gas content and low permeability, leading to poor gas extraction efficiency. Currently, domestic and international methods for depressurizing and enhancing coal seam permeability mainly include blasting fracturing, hydraulic fracturing (hydraulic hydraulic fracturing, hydraulic slotting, hydraulic perforation), and protective layer depressurization mining. Among these, synergistic fracturing combining hydraulic fracturing and CO2 blasting fracturing is an environmentally friendly and safe fracturing method. The combined fracturing creates a larger range of moving compensation space, effectively promoting coal seam fracturing, thereby increasing crack propagation and improving coal seam permeability.
[0003] To assess the fracturing effect of this method, existing approaches directly evaluate it by measuring the half-length, morphology, and orientation of fractures in the coal and rock mass after fracturing. Evaluation methods include microseismic methods, potential methods, well temperature methods, and radioactive tracer methods. Furthermore, artificial intelligence concepts and technologies are applied to fracturing engineering, such as using neural network technology combined with genetic algorithms, simulated annealing combined with genetic algorithms, or fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods to predict and optimize fracturing construction parameters and analyze fracturing effects. However, most of these fracturing effect evaluation methods are designed for standard coal samples and are not suitable for similar simulations of slightly larger scales in the laboratory.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a device that can detect the fracturing effect of coal seams in a similar simulation in the laboratory is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those in the art. Summary of the Invention

Sensor 4 monitors acoustic emission signals during the simulated coal body fracturing process. Acoustic emission sensor 4 detects elastic waves propagating to the surrounding area and converts the elastic wave information into electrical signals. An amplifier amplifies the electrical signals, and the information is processed by a signal acquisition and processing device. An image is generated on a computer terminal for manual analysis. Ultrasonic CT scanning is performed on the top of the transparent test chamber 1 multiple times. The measured ultrasonic travel time data is used to calculate the image. The imaging results can accurately and intuitively represent the crack situation of the coal body on the entire cross-section. Based on the crack distribution results of the three scans, crack propagation analysis is performed, and finally an overall evaluation of the fracturing effect is obtained.

It simulates the pressure conditions of a large-size coal seam under triaxial mining stress field conditions using transparent loading plates 101 on the upper, front, and left sides of a transparent test chamber 1. This method more closely approximates the complex geological conditions in real-world environments and is suitable for large-size similar simulated coal seam models. A acoustic emission sensor 4 is used to monitor the coal seam fracturing process in real time. A high-speed camera is used to monitor the crack propagation on the coal surface in the transparent test chamber 1 in real time. The crack distribution results obtained from three scans using ultrasonic tomography (ultrasonic CT), combined with real-time stress detected by a stress sensor 3 and other experimental parameters, allow for analysis of the crack propagation in the coal sample, ultimately yielding an overall evaluation result of the fracturing effect.

After the laying is completed, a sound emission sensor (4) is buried at the front of the bottom of the transparent test chamber (1) and at the rear of the similar simulated coal sample. The wire of the sound emission sensor (4) extends from the sensor hole (201) on the back plate (2) and is electrically connected to the second computer (15). S5: Install and fix the ultrasonic CT and high-speed camera (20), and start the high-speed camera (20) to take pictures of the transparent test chamber (1); S6: Triaxial stress loading is applied to a similar simulated coal sample in the transparent test chamber (1) by a pressurized oil cylinder. After loading, the top of the transparent test chamber (1) is scanned by ultrasonic CT to obtain the initial crack distribution. S7: Drill horizontal slotting boreholes (202) and carbon dioxide blasting boreholes (203) in a similar simulated coal sample using a drilling rig, and install hydraulic horizontal slotting pipes (11) and liquid carbon dioxide phase change blasting pipes; use fracturing pumps (18) to transport water from the external joint (1103) of the hydraulic horizontal slotting pipes (11) to the fracturing section (1101), and inject water into the similar simulated coal sample; S8: During the water injection process in step S7, the stress sensor (3) and the acoustic emission sensor (4) will send the collected signals to the first computer (14) and the second computer (15) in real time. After the water injection is completed, the top of the transparent test chamber (1) will be scanned by ultrasonic CT to obtain the secondary crack distribution. S9: Relieve the triaxial stress on the similar simulated coal sample in S6, and use the liquid carbon dioxide phase change blasting mechanism (19) and liquid carbon dioxide phase change blasting tube to blast the similar simulated coal in the transparent test chamber (1) with CO2. After the blasting is completed, turn off the high-speed camera (20) and use ultrasonic CT to scan the top of the transparent test chamber (1) to obtain the three-dimensional crack distribution. S10: Upload the similar simulated coal sample photos captured by the high-speed camera (20) to the third computer, and use PS to sketch the coal sample cracks in the photos; the second computer (15) processes the signal transmitted by the acoustic emission sensor (4) and forms an image.
