Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of coalbed methane extraction technology, specifically relating to an underground supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal and rock device and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Coalbed methane, also known as coalbed methane, is mainly composed of methane (CH4). It is an important clean energy source that can replace traditional energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and oil, reducing dependence on imported energy and improving the reliability and stability of energy supply. Underground gas drainage is an important way to improve the coalbed methane drainage rate and a necessary link to effectively manage deep outburst-prone coal seams and reduce their outburst risk. It is also a pressing problem in coalbed methane disaster management that needs to be solved.

[0003] Fracturing is a primary means of reservoir stimulation and production enhancement. Traditional coalbed methane extraction methods mainly employ hydraulic fracturing technology, but this suffers from problems such as high water consumption, difficulty in fracturing fluid recovery, and difficulty in controlling fracturing effects. Furthermore, hydraulic fracturing has drawbacks such as short extraction time and low extraction efficiency. Therefore, selecting effective permeability enhancement technologies to improve coal seam permeability is urgently needed. Supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing is a novel waterless fracturing technology that is environmentally friendly and can significantly improve fracturing efficiency. Supercritical carbon dioxide possesses unique physical properties, such as low viscosity and easy diffusion, allowing it to penetrate deep into the micropores of the reservoir. During fracturing, it achieves a unified high-pressure fluid flow inside and outside the rock, thereby increasing the scope and complexity of the stimulation. Existing research shows that compared to hydraulic fracturing and liquid carbon dioxide fracturing, supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing has lower fracturing pressure, higher wall roughness, and is more likely to form multiple branch fractures. Currently, supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing field tests are mainly focused on surface fracturing operations. For example, oil fields have successively carried out surface fracturing tests in shale reservoirs using large fracturing units that combine carbon dioxide booster pumps, sand mixing trucks, and fracturing trucks, and these tests have been successful.

[0004] However, due to the complex geological conditions and limited operating space underground, the requirements for the adaptability of fracturing technology and equipment, as well as its extraction processes, are high. Existing supercritical carbon dioxide surface fracturing equipment and construction techniques are not suitable for the underground environment, and there is a lack of underground supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing equipment and supporting processes. Therefore, there are still technical bottlenecks in carrying out supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing of coal seams underground, and similar underground on-site fracturing operations are rarely conducted. Furthermore, the temperature and pressure control of carbon dioxide is a key factor affecting the effectiveness of supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing. In surface fracturing operations, due to the deep burial of the target reservoir (generally greater than 1000 meters), the long wellbore path and large geothermal gradient between the surface and the target reservoir allow for sufficient heat exchange between carbon dioxide and the wellbore and formation, ensuring that the carbon dioxide reaches the target reservoir in a supercritical state. However, the underground pipeline length is limited, and how to achieve a supercritical state when injecting carbon dioxide into the target reservoir is a significant challenge in implementing underground supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing technology. Finally, in the process of fracturing and production enhancement, the evaluation of fracturing effect is an important step, and the gas extraction rate is a key metric for evaluation. Key parameters for fracturing effectiveness are often overlooked, but the underground environment (underground geology, hydrogeological conditions, coal and rock properties, etc.) is usually very complex and variable. These factors lead to significant spatial and temporal differences in the permeability enhancement effect after underground carbon dioxide fracturing. Moreover, underground operations are inherently complex and dangerous tasks. The limitations of the underground environment, the reliability of equipment, and technical issues such as data acquisition and transmission make obtaining relevant data and conducting real-time monitoring challenging. Ultimately, this hinders the precise and quantitative evaluation of the permeability enhancement effect after underground supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing, preventing the widespread adoption of supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal seams and enhanced extraction technology underground.

[0029] This application also provides a construction method for a downhole supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal and rock device, which uses the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal and rock device described in any of the above-mentioned methods, and includes the following steps:

[0030] S1. Coal seam parameter testing: Obtain coal samples from the target coal seam, test the coal seam gas pressure, gas content, coal firmness coefficient, initial venting velocity, coal failure type, and test the physical and mechanical properties of the target reservoir and the roof and floor of the coal seam.

[0031] S2. Arrangement and construction of fracturing boreholes and monitoring boreholes: The fracturing boreholes penetrate the rock strata and reach a coal seam depth of at least 5m; then, with the fracturing borehole as the center of a rectangle, four monitoring boreholes are arranged along the two diagonals of the rectangle, and a reference borehole is constructed far away from the fracturing borehole, which is not affected by the fracturing area; and the original gas concentration and extraction flow rate of the eight monitoring boreholes and one reference borehole are monitored and collected in real time.

[0032] S3. Fracturing borehole grouting and sealing construction: Open the high-pressure nitrogen cylinder and inject nitrogen into the capsule sealing device through the injection hose, so that it expands and squeezes the inner wall of the fracturing borehole. The plugging grouting pipe fills the plugging section with plugging grout. After it solidifies, open the second high-pressure nitrogen pressurization device to inject the sealing grout from the sealing grouting tank into the sealing section through the sealing grouting pipe. When the sealing grout flows into the grout recovery tank, the sealing is completed.

[0033] S4. Fracturing Operation: Activate the first high-pressure nitrogen booster to maintain the liquid carbon dioxide pressure in the tank at 2.0-2.8 MPa; the first plunger pump boosts the liquid carbon dioxide input from the storage tank, transmits it to the heating box, heats it to the set temperature, and then transports the liquid carbon dioxide to the supercritical state into the fracturing pipeline. As the supercritical carbon dioxide is continuously injected into the target coal seam, the fluid pressure in the fracturing pipeline slowly rises. After reaching the fracturing pressure and causing the coal seam to form fractures, pumping continues. The liquid pressure is maintained at high pressure or shows several peak values ​​until the pumping volume reaches the design requirement and then stops.

[0034] After the target coal seam fractures are formed, proppant injection begins. Low-temperature liquid carbon dioxide, pressurized by the first plunger pump, is injected into the mixing tank. Thickener is injected into the mixing tank and stirred to form a proppant mixture. After being heated to the set temperature in the heating box, it is injected into the fracturing pipe for construction.

[0035] After the proppant mixture is injected, water is injected. The second plunger pump can supply pressurized water into the fracturing pipe through the seventeenth, fourth, fifth and fourteenth connecting pipes. The liquid water can carry the proppant mixture in the fracturing pipe and the fractures near the fracturing hole to a farther distance, and can also clean the fracturing pipe.

[0036] S5. Gas extraction monitoring: After coal seam fracturing, the gas concentration and flow rate of multiple monitoring holes arranged around the fracturing borehole are monitored and collected in real time through the third flow sensor and concentration sensor.

The proppant mixing system improves the performance of liquid carbon dioxide in carrying the proppant mixture, enabling the proppant mixture to effectively enter the fracturing fractures and maintain good conductivity. The temperature control system overcomes the difficulties in preparing supercritical carbon dioxide underground, enabling the injection of carbon dioxide into the fracturing coal seam in a supercritical state. The grouting system effectively prevents the leakage of low-viscosity supercritical carbon dioxide into the borehole, effectively sealing the fracturing borehole. The extraction system enables multi-source data monitoring and acquisition of supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing of the coal seam, overcoming the difficulty of quantitatively evaluating the fracturing effect before and after fracturing in underground environments. Furthermore, the organic combination of these systems allows for the implementation of different fracturing methods, making it more suitable for coal seam modification with complex geological conditions.

[0049] See also Figure 1-4As shown, the first embodiment of this application provides a downhole supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal and rock device, including: a coal seam 1, a fracturing borehole 11, a plugging section 111, a sealing section 112, a fracturing section 113, monitoring holes 12, a fracturing system 2, a temperature control system 3, a grouting system 4, a liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5, a proppant mixing system 6, an extraction system 7, and a data acquisition device 8; the coal seam 1 has a fracturing borehole 11, which includes a plugging section 111, a sealing section 112, and a fracturing section 113; a plurality of monitoring holes 12 are spaced apart circumferentially on the coal seam 1 and located at the fracturing borehole 11; the fracturing system 2 is connected to the temperature control system 3, and the fracturing system 2 is used to inject the fracturing fluid discharged from the temperature control system 3 into the fracturing section 113 of the coal seam 1; the grouting system 4 and the... The fracturing boreholes 11 of the coal seam 1 are connected to the plugging section 111 and the sealing section 112 for plugging the boreholes. The liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5 is connected to the temperature control system 3 for providing fracturing fluid to the fracturing system 2.

The extraction system 7 is connected to several monitoring boreholes 12 for extracting and monitoring the gas in the fracturing coal seam 1. The data acquisition device 8 is electrically connected to the liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5, the temperature control system 3, the fracturing system 2, the grouting system 4, and the extraction system 7.

[0050] Specifically, the system includes a fracturing system 2, a temperature control system 3, a grouting system 4, a liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5, a proppant mixing system 6, an extraction system 7, and a data acquisition device 8. To adapt to the underground coal mine environment, each component in the above systems is equipped with an independent skid, which is fixed on a mine rail transport vehicle. It can be transported to the target fracturing location by the underground roadway rail, which is flexible and convenient, avoiding manual handling. Moreover, the components can be quickly assembled and flexibly transported, which can adapt to the limited space in the underground coal mine. A fracturing borehole 11 is opened in the coal seam 1. The fracturing borehole 11 includes a plugging section 111, a sealing section 112, and a fracturing section 113. The grouting system 4 is used to seal the plugging section 111 and the sealing section 112 of the fracturing borehole 11, so that the sealing section 112 will not leak during the fracturing operation, thereby improving the sealing effect. The liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5 pressurizes low-temperature, low-pressure carbon dioxide and discharges it at a set rate into the temperature control system 3, bringing it to a supercritical state. This supercritical carbon dioxide is then fed into the fracturing section 113 of coal seam 1 via the fracturing system 2, thus fracturing the coal seam 1. After the fractures in coal seam 1 are formed, the liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5 feeds the pressurized liquid carbon dioxide into the proppant mixing system 6.

[0066] The fracturing system 2 includes: a fracturing pipe 201, a fourteenth connecting pipe 202, a second flow sensor 203, a second temperature sensor 204, a fourth pressure sensor 205, a fifteenth connecting pipe 206, and a third temperature sensor 207. The first end of the fracturing pipe 201 is located in a fracturing section 113 opened on the coal seam 1. The second end of the fracturing pipe 201 is connected to the fifth connecting pipe 303 through the fourteenth connecting pipe 202. A shut-off valve, a second flow sensor 203, a second temperature sensor 204, and a fourth pressure sensor 205 are sequentially installed on the fourteenth connecting pipe 202. The fifteenth connecting pipe 206 is located between the output end of the heating box 305 and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202.

The second temperature sensor 204, the second flow sensor 203, the third temperature sensor 207, and the second pressure sensor 307 are all electrically connected to the data acquisition unit 8.

[0067] Specifically, the fracturing system 2 is used to inject carbon dioxide fracturing fluid into the fracturing coal seam 1. After the plugging section 111 and sealing section 112 of the fracturing borehole 11 are plugged, the first plunger pump 508 feeds pressurized liquid carbon dioxide into the heating box 305 through the third connecting pipe 301, the fourth connecting pipe 302, the fifth connecting pipe 303 and the sixth connecting pipe 304. After the heating box 305 heats it, the temperature reaches the set temperature (greater than 35°C), so that the liquid carbon dioxide reaches the supercritical state. Then, it is fed into the fracturing pipe 201 through the fifteenth connecting pipe 206 and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202. The top of the fracturing pipe 201 is installed in the fracturing section 113, thereby realizing the feeding of fracturing fluid into the fracturing section 113, ensuring that the carbon dioxide is injected into the coal seam 1 in a supercritical state, and realizing the fracturing operation of the coal seam. A third temperature sensor 207 and a shut-off valve are installed on the fifteenth connecting pipe 206. A shut-off valve, a second flow sensor 203, a second temperature sensor 204, and a fourth pressure sensor 205 are installed on the fourteenth connecting pipe 202 to monitor the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the fracturing fluid entering the fracturing pipe 201. As supercritical carbon dioxide is continuously injected into the target coal seam 1, the fluid pressure in the fracturing pipe 201 slowly increases. When the pumping pressure reaches the fracturing pressure and a fracture is formed, pumping continues, and the liquid pressure remains high or experiences several peaks until the pumping rate reaches the design requirement. During fracturing, the first pressure sensor 510 and the fourth pressure sensor 205 on the first connecting pipe 502 output pressure. If the pressure of the first pressure sensor 510 is lower than 2 MPa, the storage tank 503 is replaced. If the pressure of the fourth pressure sensor 205 exceeds the pressure threshold of 40 MPa, the fracturing operation is stopped immediately, and the pipe blockage is checked. During the fracturing process, the gas concentration at the fracturing site is measured in real time using a DGC gas content rapid analyzer. If the concentration exceeds the limit, the fracturing operation is stopped and ventilation is carried out until the gas concentration is reduced to a safe value before the fracturing operation is restarted.

[0068] The extraction system 7 includes: a third flow sensor 701 and a concentration sensor 702;

[0069] Each of the monitoring holes 12 is provided with a third flow sensor 701 and a concentration sensor 702. The third flow sensor 701 is used to monitor the gas flow rate in the monitoring hole 12, and the concentration sensor 702 is used to monitor the gas concentration in the monitoring hole 12. The third flow sensor 701 and the concentration sensor 702 are electrically connected to the data acquisition unit 8.

[0070] Specifically, after fracturing, eight monitoring holes 12 arranged around the fracturing borehole 11 are monitored. The third flow sensor 701 and the concentration sensor 702 independently monitor and collect the gas concentration and extraction flow rate in the eight monitoring holes 12 for 30 days. The data are compared with the extraction data of the reference borehole 13 in the nearby unfractured area. By analyzing the extraction situation of the monitoring holes 12 at different locations, the relationship between fracturing parameters and extraction effect is quantitatively evaluated, providing data support for subsequent optimization of fracturing.

[0071] It also includes a hydraulic booster system 9, which comprises: a water supply tank 901, a second plunger pump 902, a sixteenth connecting pipe 903, a level sensor 904, a seventeenth connecting pipe 905, and a fifth pressure sensor 906; the water supply tank 901 is connected to the second plunger pump 902 through the sixteenth connecting pipe 903, and the sixteenth connecting pipe 903 is sequentially equipped with a level sensor 904 and a shut-off valve; the output end of the second plunger pump 902 is connected to the fourth connecting pipe 302 through the seventeenth connecting pipe 905, and the seventeenth connecting pipe 905 is equipped with a fifth pressure sensor 906 and a shut-off valve; the level sensor 904 and the fifth pressure sensor 906 are electrically connected to the data acquisition unit 8.

[0072] Specifically, after the proppant mixture is injected, the second plunger pump 902 can supply pressurized water into the fracturing pipe 201 through the seventeenth connecting pipe 905, the fourth connecting pipe 302, the fifth connecting pipe 303 and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202, so that the proppant mixture in the fracturing pipe 201 and the fractures near the fracturing hole can be carried to a farther distance by the water, and the fracturing pipe 201 can be cleaned. The injection volume is 10-15 cubic meters.

[0073] A liquid level sensor 904 and a shut-off valve are installed on the sixteenth connecting pipe 903. The liquid level sensor 904 can monitor the liquid level in the water supply tank 901. When the liquid level is lower than 3 / 4, the water supply tank 901 should be replaced.

[0074] The second plunger pump 902 pressurizes the liquid in the water supply tank 901 and can also be used as a fracturing fluid to perform separate fracturing of the coal seam 11. The process is as follows: the second plunger pump 902 pressurizes the liquid in the water supply tank 901, which is then fed into the fracturing pipe 201 through the seventeenth connecting pipe 905, the fourth connecting pipe 302, the fifth connecting pipe 303, and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202. The liquid water is then discharged into the fracturing section 113 to achieve fracturing of the coal seam 1. After fracturing is completed, the second plunger pump 902 pressurizes the liquid in the water supply tank 901 again. The pressurized liquid enters the mixing tank 602 through the seventeenth connecting pipe 905, the fourth connecting pipe 302, and the seventh connecting pipe 601, where it is mixed with the thickener and proppant to form a proppant mixture. The proppant mixture is then directly fed into the fracturing pipe 201 through the ninth connecting pipe 605, the sixth connecting pipe 304, and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202 to support the fractured cracks.

[0075] See also Figure 4 As shown, the second embodiment of this application provides a construction method for a downhole supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal and rock device, using any one of the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing coal and rock devices described above, including the following steps:

[0076] S1, Coal Seam 1 Parameter Test: Obtain coal sample of target coal seam 1, test the gas pressure, gas content, coal firmness coefficient, initial venting velocity, and coal failure type of coal seam 1, and test the physical and mechanical properties of the target reservoir and the roof and floor of coal seam 1.

[0077] Specifically, a reservoir was selected, and coal samples from coal seam 1 were obtained using a kilometer-wide directional large-diameter drilling rig. The gas pressure, gas content, coal firmness coefficient, initial venting velocity ΔP, and coal failure type of coal seam 1 were tested. The physical and mechanical properties of the target reservoir and the roof and floor of coal seam 1 were also tested. Based on the actual site conditions, fracturing borehole 11 was drilled.

[0078] In-situ stress tests were conducted to obtain the maximum and minimum horizontal in-situ stresses of coal seam 1. The fracturing pressure range was then calculated to determine subsequent fracturing parameters, with the upper limit of the fracturing pressure being:

[0079] P b =σ H -3σ h +σ t -P0

[0080] Where, σ H and σ h These are the maximum and minimum horizontal ground stresses (MPa), σ t P0 is the tensile strength of the coal seam (MPa), and P0 is the initial gas pressure of the coal seam (MPa).

[0081] The lower limit of rupture pressure is:

[0082]

[0083] Where α is the Biot coefficient of the coal sample (dimensionless), and υ is the Poisson's ratio of the coal sample (dimensionless).

[0084] It should be noted that when performing fracturing on coal seam 1, both cross-seam fracturing and in-seam fracturing techniques can be used. Cross-seam fracturing refers to drilling holes in the roof or floor of coal seam 1 and connecting the coal seam through segmented fracturing. In-seam fracturing refers to drilling holes along the strike or dip direction of coal seam 1. The fracturing technique should be flexibly selected according to the occurrence conditions of coal seam 1. The following uses cross-seam fracturing as an example. It should be noted that this device is not limited to a single fracturing technique.

[0085] Using the aforementioned fracturing pressure range as a reference, the first plunger pump 508 of the liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5 is selected and its parameters are determined. The determination of the rated pressure of the first plunger pump 508, in addition to meeting the fracturing pressure of the target coal seam 1, should also comprehensively consider the pressure loss along the carbon dioxide delivery pipeline, and can be calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach formula.

[0086]

[0087] Where ΔP is the pressure loss along the pipe (Pa), f is the pipe friction coefficient (dimensionless), L is the pipe length (m), D is the pipe diameter (m), is the liquid density (kg / m^3), and is the liquid velocity (m / s).

[0088] Since the compressibility of water is typically around 8.5 × 10⁻⁶ -10 The compressibility of carbon dioxide is around 1 Pa, while the compressibility of carbon dioxide is several orders of magnitude greater than that of water, and it varies greatly with temperature and pressure. Therefore, carbon dioxide has higher compressibility than water, meaning that its volume changes more easily under the same pressure. Thus, the volume of carbon dioxide required for fracturing coal seam 1 is much larger than the volume of water injected. Based on site conditions and experience from other construction cases, the rated flow rate of the first plunger pump 508 is initially set at 40–60 L / min.

[0089] The fracturing system 2, temperature control system 3, grouting system 4, liquid carbon dioxide pressurization system 5, proppant mixing system 6, extraction system 7, and data acquisition device 8 are independently fixed on a mine rail transport vehicle and transported to the underground fracturing site. The transport vehicles are rigidly connected and installed. The equipment operation is checked and the maximum pressure limit test is carried out on the construction pipeline to prevent leakage at the pipe and valve interfaces.

[0090] S2. Arrangement and construction of fracturing borehole 11 and monitoring borehole 12: Fracturing borehole 11 penetrates the rock strata and enters coal seam 1 to a depth of at least 5m; then, with fracturing borehole 11 as the center of a rectangle, four monitoring boreholes 12 are arranged along the two diagonals of the rectangle respectively, and a reference borehole 13 is constructed away from fracturing borehole 11, which is not affected by the fracturing area; and the original gas concentration and extraction flow rate of the eight monitoring boreholes 12 and one reference borehole 13 are monitored and collected in real time.

[0091] Specifically, a construction site is set up in the roadway below the target reservoir using a kilometer-long directional drilling rig. Directional drilling is carried out according to the drilling layout plan. The fracturing borehole 11 penetrates the rock strata and drills into the coal seam 1 to a depth of at least 5m. Then, with the fracturing borehole 11 as the center of the rectangle, four monitoring holes 12 are arranged along the two diagonals of the rectangle, with two adjacent monitoring holes 12 on the diagonal spaced 25m apart. A reference borehole 13 is drilled 100m away from the fracturing borehole 11. The reference borehole 13 is not affected by the fracturing area. The original gas concentration and extraction flow rate of the eight monitoring holes 12 and the reference borehole 13 are monitored and collected in real time.

[0092] S3. Grouting and sealing construction of fracturing borehole 11: Open the high-pressure nitrogen cylinder 413 and inject nitrogen into the capsule sealing device 412 through the injection hose 414, so that it expands and squeezes the inner wall of the fracturing borehole 11. The plugging grouting pipe 406 fills the plugging section 111 with plugging grout. After it solidifies, open the second high-pressure nitrogen pressurization device 401 so that the sealing grouting tank 403 injects the sealing grouting into the sealing section 112 through the sealing grouting pipe 404. The sealing is completed when the sealing grouting flows into the grout recovery tank 411.

[0093] Specifically, the fracturing pipe 201, the plugging grouting pipe 406, the sealing grouting pipe 404, the sealing return grouting pipe 409, the capsule sealing device 412, and the gas injection hose 414 are all placed inside the fracturing borehole 11. The high-pressure nitrogen cylinder 413 is opened, and the high-pressure nitrogen inside is injected into the capsule sealing device 412 through the gas injection hose 414, causing it to expand and squeeze the inner wall of the fracturing borehole 11. The injection pressure is not less than 5 MPa. After the capsule sealer 412 achieves sealing, the sealing grout in the sealing grouting tank 408 is injected into the sealing section 111 through the twelfth connecting pipe 407 and the sealing grouting pipe 406. The sealing grout is a slow-reaction polyurethane A+B liquid mixed with cotton yarn. After the sealing section 111 is filled, the shut-off valve on the twelfth connecting pipe 407 is closed. After it solidifies, the second high-pressure nitrogen booster device 401 is turned on. The second high-pressure nitrogen booster device 401 adjusts the pressure in the sealing grouting tank 403 through the tenth connecting pipe 402, so that the sealing grout inside is fed into the sealing section 112 through the eleventh connecting pipe 405 and the sealing grouting pipe 404. After the sealing section 112 is filled, the grout inside is allowed to solidify for 24 hours before the next operation is carried out. This can improve the sealing section 112 from leaking during fracturing operations and further ensure the sealing effect.

[0094] S4. Fracturing Operation. The first high-pressure nitrogen booster 401 is turned on to maintain the liquid carbon dioxide pressure in the tank at 2.0-2.8 MPa; the first plunger pump 508 pressurizes the liquid carbon dioxide input from the storage tank 503 and transmits it to the heating box 305 to heat it to the set temperature, so that the liquid carbon dioxide reaches the supercritical state and is transported to the fracturing pipe 201. As the supercritical carbon dioxide is continuously injected into the target coal seam 1, the fluid pressure in the fracturing pipe 201 slowly rises. After reaching the fracturing pressure and causing the coal seam to form fractures, the pumping continues. The liquid pressure is kept high or has several peak values ​​until the pumping volume reaches the design requirement and then stops.

[0095] After the coal seam 1 fracture is formed, the proppant mixture is injected. Low-temperature liquid carbon dioxide pressurized by the first plunger pump 508 is fed into the mixing tank 602. Thickener is injected into the mixing tank 602 for stirring to form the proppant mixture. After being heated to the set temperature by the heating box 305, it is fed into the fracturing pipe 201 for construction.

[0096] After the proppant mixture is injected, water injection begins. The second plunger pump 902 can supply pressurized water into the fracturing pipe 201 through the seventeenth connecting pipe 905, the fourth connecting pipe 302, the fifth connecting pipe 303, and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202. The liquid water allows the proppant mixture in the fracturing pipe 201 and the fractures near the fracturing hole to be carried to a farther distance, and also enables the fracturing pipe 201 to be cleaned.

[0097] Specifically, the fracturing system 2 is used to inject carbon dioxide fracturing fluid into the fracturing coal seam 1. After the plugging section 111 and sealing section 112 of the fracturing borehole 11 are plugged, the first plunger pump 508 feeds the pressurized hydraulic carbon dioxide into the heating box 305 through the third connecting pipe 301, the fourth connecting pipe 302, the fifth connecting pipe 303, and the sixth connecting pipe 304. After the heating box 305 heats it, the temperature reaches the set temperature (greater than 35°C), so that the liquid carbon dioxide reaches the supercritical state. Then, it is fed into the fracturing pipe 201 through the fifteenth connecting pipe 206 and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202. The top of the fracturing pipe 201 is installed in the fracturing section 113, thereby realizing the feeding of fracturing fluid into the fracturing section 113 and ensuring that the carbon dioxide is injected into the coal seam 1 in a supercritical state. A third temperature sensor 207 and a shut-off valve are installed on the fifteenth connecting pipe 206. A shut-off valve, a second flow sensor 203, a second temperature sensor 204, and a fourth pressure sensor 205 are installed on the fourteenth connecting pipe 202 to monitor the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the fracturing fluid entering the fracturing pipe 201. As supercritical carbon dioxide is continuously injected into the target coal seam 1, the fluid pressure in the fracturing pipe 201 slowly increases. When the pumping pressure reaches the fracturing pressure and a fracture is formed, pumping continues, and the liquid pressure remains high or experiences several peaks until the pumping rate reaches the design requirement. During fracturing, the output pressure of the first pressure sensor 510 and the fourth pressure sensor 205 on the first connecting pipe 502 should be constantly monitored. If the pressure of the first pressure sensor 510 is lower than 2 MPa, the storage tank 503 should be replaced. If the pressure of the fourth pressure sensor 205 exceeds the pressure threshold of 40 MPa, the fracturing operation should be stopped immediately, and the pipe blockage should be checked. In addition, the gas concentration at the fracturing site should be measured in real time using a DGC gas content rapid analyzer during the fracturing process. If the concentration exceeds the limit, the fracturing operation should be stopped and ventilation should be carried out until the gas concentration drops to a safe value before the fracturing operation is restarted.

[0098] After the formation of fractures in the target coal seam 1, the proppant mixture is injected. The first plunger pump 508 supplies pressurized hydraulic carbon dioxide into the heating box 305 via the third connecting pipe 301, the fourth connecting pipe 302, and the seventh connecting pipe 601. Meanwhile, the proppant injection pump 603 supplies thickener and proppant into the mixing tank 602 via the eighth connecting pipe 604, ensuring thorough mixing of the liquid carbon dioxide with the thickener and proppant. The proppant injection pump 603 contains a mixture of siloxane-based thickener and proppant, allowing for controlled injection speed to ensure the proppant and thickener are mixed in a predetermined ratio. This mixture is used to thicken the liquid carbon dioxide injected into the mixing tank 602 and to add proppant. The thickener is used... The amount is 2% or less than 2% of the volume of liquid carbon dioxide, and the ratio of thickener to proppant is not less than 1:1. The specific ratio can be flexibly set according to the sand addition requirements and site conditions. The discharge port of the mixing tank 602 is connected to the sixth connecting pipe 304 through the ninth connecting pipe 605, which is used to feed the mixed proppant mixture into the heating box 305 to heat the proppant mixture to reach the set temperature, which is at least greater than the critical temperature of carbon dioxide, i.e., 31.26℃. Then, it is fed into the fracturing pipe 201 through the fifteenth connecting pipe 206 and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202 to discharge the proppant mixture into the fracture of coal seam 1.

[0099] After the proppant mixture is injected, water is injected. The second plunger pump 902 can supply pressurized water into the fracturing pipe 201 through the seventeenth connecting pipe 905, the fourth connecting pipe 302, the fifth connecting pipe 303 and the fourteenth connecting pipe 202, so that the proppant mixture in the fracturing pipe 201 and the fractures near the fracturing hole can be carried to a farther distance by the water, and the fracturing pipe 201 can be cleaned. The injection volume is 10-15 cubic meters.

[0100] S5. Gas extraction monitoring. After coal seam fracturing, the gas concentration and flow rate of multiple monitoring holes 12 arranged around the fracturing borehole 11 are monitored and collected in real time through the third flow sensor 701 and the concentration sensor 702.

[0101] Specifically, after fracturing coal seam 1, the gas concentration and extraction flow rate in multiple monitoring holes 12 arranged around the fracturing borehole 11 are independently monitored and collected in real time using a third flow sensor 701 and a concentration sensor 702. The data are compared with the extraction data of a reference borehole 13 in a similar unfractured area. The collected data are stored through a data acquisition device 8. By analyzing the extraction situation of monitoring boreholes 12 at different locations, the relationship between fracturing parameters and extraction effect is quantitatively evaluated, providing a reference for subsequent optimization of fracturing design.
