Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and natural gas exploration and development, and in particular to a creep-considered anisotropic coal rock permeability tensor prediction method. Background Art
[0002] New unconventional areas, represented by deep coal-rock formations, are in the initial research stages and are a key focus for increasing reserves and production. Deep coal-rock gas exploration has opened up new frontiers for exploration in coal-bearing basins and provided new avenues for natural gas exploration. Deep coal-rock gas exploration is of paramount importance and urgency to rapidly establish new strategic replacement areas for large-scale reserves. Accurately assessing the mass transfer capacity of coal-rock formations is crucial for efficient development.
[0003] Reservoir permeability is one of the most important parameters characterizing seepage patterns, and the dynamic evolution of permeability directly affects coalbed methane production and extraction efficiency. Within deep coal-rock gas reservoirs, the in situ spatiotemporal evolution of permeability is difficult to directly measure through core-scale laboratory experiments. Deep coal-rock gas reservoirs have complex pore structures and mineral compositions, and their gas content and porosity are generally higher than those in medium- and deep-layer formations. Natural fractures and cleats / bedding are well developed, and the rock has a high elastic modulus and strong plasticity, exhibiting high-temperature and high-pressure gas adsorption characteristics. Matrix permeability is influenced by a combination of factors, including effective stress, rarefied gas effects (flow regimes), surface diffusion, gas desorption, adsorption deformation, and nonlinear creep deformation.
[0004] In addition, due to the difference in interfacial strength between coal seams and the different compressibility between face / end cleats and bedding, the permeability exhibits strong anisotropy. The time-varying effect of creep is different from that of desorption and aperture compression, and is affected by pressure and loading time. Existing coal rock permeability models also have the following deficiencies: (1) There is a lack of quantitative modeling methods for permeability anisotropy, which leads to errors in the calculation of permeability in different principal stress directions; (2) There is a lack of coupling for the full-stage creep effect, which leads to the neglect of the loss of coal rock permeability during the mining process; (3) There is a lack of representation of gas flow state, which makes it impossible to reveal the flow state transition in confined space.

[0072] S13. Deformation caused by adsorption and expansion of coal rock
[0073] The permeability of coal is affected by effective stress and gas adsorption. Therefore, the changes in the volume of fractures, matrix, and bulk coal caused by gas adsorption can be expressed as:
[0074]
[0075] The porosity definition includes the internal expansion process caused by adsorption, and the deformation of the cracks and coal body can be determined:
[0076]
[0077] in, It represents the deformation of coal rock under adsorption, dimensionless; It represents the deformation of coal rock matrix under adsorption, dimensionless; It represents the deformation of coal rock cleats / beddings under adsorption, dimensionless; represents the matrix strain increment caused by desorption expansion, dimensionless; represents the crack strain increment caused by desorption expansion, dimensionless;.
[0078] In the above equation, a Langmuir-type equation can be used to describe the deformation caused by adsorption in the matrix as follows:
[0079]
[0080] For anisotropic coal rock, the deformation caused by adsorption in different principal stress directions is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, ε L represents the Langmuir strain constant, dimensionless; p L represents the Langmuir pressure, MPa; p represents the pore pressure, MPa; p0 represents the initial pore pressure, MPa; S Lx , S Ly , S Lz It represents the equivalent Langmuir strain in the x, y, and z directions and is dimensionless.
[0083] S14, deformation caused by coal rock cleat / bedding compression
[0084] In the early stages of gas production, the cleat / bedding system has a large aperture. As gas production continues, the subsequent stages see compression and closure of the cleats and bedding, which can be expressed by the following relationship:
[0085]
[0086] During the gas production process, the stress of the overburden does not change, and the change of effective stress is mainly determined by the pore pressure. Therefore, Equation (13) can be simplified as follows:
[0087]

[0091] S15. Nonlinear constitutive equation of coal and rock
[0092] When gas is extracted, the evolution of cleat porosity is determined by both matrix creep and cleat / beam compression and internal contraction due to desorption. Substituting equations (12), (14), and (15) into equation (5), the total deformation of anisotropic coal rock with adsorption-induced expansion, unsteady creep, and cleat / beam compression satisfies the following constitutive relation:
[0093]
[0094] Step 2: Based on the cubic law, a relationship between the permeability ratio and the cleat / bedding aperture is established, the nonlinear constitutive relationship is substituted into it to derive the intrinsic permeability of the coal rock, and the rarefied gas effect is introduced to correct the flow state; the nonlinear constitutive equation in step S1 is coupled to obtain the permeability model corresponding to the cleat / bedding, and the anisotropic permeability tensor is corrected by the tortuosity connection coefficients in the three principal stress directions to obtain the permeability tensor prediction model.
[0095] Deep coal rocks contain face / butt cleats and bedding, which contribute to their anisotropy, especially during gas extraction. According to the cubic law, the permeability of face / butt cleats and bedding is related to the aperture as follows:
[0096]
[0097] The changes in face / butt cleats and bedding apertures can be described by the strains in the principal stress directions:
[0098]
[0099] Substituting equation (18) into equation (17), we can obtain the corresponding relationship between the anisotropic permeability ratio and the coal rock strain:
[0100]
[0101] The Knudsen number function is introduced to correct the rarefied gas effect, and then quantitatively characterize the influence of flow regime conversion in confined space on permeability evolution. Equation (19) can be further written as:
[0102]
[0103] Among them, k face represents the face cleat permeability, m 2 ;k face0 represents the initial face cleat permeability, m 2 ;k butt represents the end cleat permeability, m 2 ;k but0t represents the initial end cleat permeability, m 2 ;k bed represents the bedding permeability, m 2 ;k bed0 represents the initial bedding permeability, m 2 ;φ face represents the porosity of face cleat, dimensionless; φ butt represents the end cleat porosity, dimensionless; φ bed Kn represents the bedding porosity, dimensionless; face =K B T / (2πd m 2 p) / b face , Kn butt =K B T / (2πd m 2 p) / b butt , Kn bed =K B T / (2πd m 2 p) / b bed K represents the Knudsen number within the face, butt cleat / bedding, dimensionless; B is the Boltzmann constant, J / K; T is the temperature, K; β is the Beskok-Karniadakis constant, dimensionless.
[0104] By combining equations (20) and (16), the permeabilities corresponding to face / butt cleats and bedding can be derived as follows:
[0105]
[0106] With the face / butt cleat directions as x and y and the bedding direction as z, the permeability in the vertical flow direction x is provided by the butt cleat and bedding. The same is true for the other two principal stress directions. Therefore, the tortuosity connection coefficient is introduced to correct the permeability in the three principal stress directions. The anisotropic permeability tensor of coal rock is:
[0107]
[0108] Where k represents the anisotropic permeability tensor, m 2 ;k x represents the permeability in the x direction, m 2 ;k y represents the permeability in the y direction, m 2 k z represents the permeability in the z direction, m 2 ;c x represents the tortuosity coefficient in the x-direction, dimensionless; c y represents the tortuosity coefficient in the y direction, dimensionless; c z It represents the tortuosity coefficient in the z direction and is dimensionless.
[0109] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand and apply the anisotropic coal rock permeability tensor prediction method considering creep provided by the present invention, a practical example is used to perform prediction and result analysis. The basic parameters used in the practical example are shown in Table 1.
[0110] Table 1 Basic parameters
[0111]
[0112] The prediction results are as follows Figure 1-7 As shown by Figure 1 It can be seen that when the effective stress is less than the yield stress, the creep of coal rock presents a two-stage characteristic, which only causes the permeability to decrease in the initial 0-5 hours. When the pressure decreases from 20MPa to 8MPa, the effect of creep on the initial permeability loss increases. As the pressure further decreases, desorption and expansion increase the overall permeability.
[0113] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that within the entire pressure range, the permeability first decreases and then increases with pressure. At the same time, the closing effect of cleats / bedding and the expansion effect of desorption compete with each other, resulting in a permeability conversion pressure (about 4.6 MPa). At different times, as the creep time increases, the two-stage creep effect causes a partial loss of permeability only in the initial stage.
[0114] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that when the effective stress is greater than the yield stress, the creep of coal rock presents a three-stage characteristic. After the initial creep action, as the effective stress further decreases, a rapid creep stage (the third stage) appears, which causes a significant decrease in permeability. This effect on permeability reduction is negatively correlated with pressure before the conversion pressure. After it is less than the conversion pressure, the desorption and expansion effect causes the permeability to further recover.
[0115] Depend on Figure 4It can be seen that: under the action of full pressure, the accelerated deformation and damage in the third stage causes the permeability-pressure curve to drop significantly with the increase of creep time. From 0h to 20h, the permeability loss rate at the conversion pressure is as high as 80%. Although under the effect of desorption and permeation enhancement, the permeability only recovers to 72.6% of the initial state.
[0116] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that: when the viscoplastic coefficient in the y and z directions is increased by two times and the other directions remain unchanged, the permeability in the x direction and y and z directions deviates significantly. As the creep time increases, the creep effect in the third stage in the y and z directions is significantly enhanced. The larger the viscoplastic coefficient, the faster and higher the degree of plastic deformation in the third stage of creep, which makes the permeability loss in this direction significantly stronger than that in other directions. The higher the pressure, the stronger the anisotropy. Under the pressure condition of 20MPa, the permeability difference at 20h is stronger than that at 10MPa.
[0117] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that doubling the viscoelastic coefficient in the y and z directions, while keeping the other directions unchanged, leads to significant deviations in the permeability in the x, y, and z directions. The viscoelastic coefficient primarily determines the elastic deformation in the first and second creep stages. The larger the viscoelastic coefficient, the faster and more severe the initial elastic deformation. This results in significant anisotropy in the permeability during the initial creep phase. This effect decreases with increasing creep time and decreasing pore pressure.
[0118] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that: when the viscoelastic modulus in the y and z directions is increased by two times and the other directions remain unchanged, the permeability in the x direction and the y and z directions will show significant deviations. The viscoelastic modulus determines the difficulty of the coal rock to undergo viscoelastic deformation. Increasing the viscoelastic modulus makes the viscoelastic deformation of the coal rock in the second stage of creep more obvious. Therefore, the permeability in the y and z directions shows a significant difference from that in the x direction after about 2 hours, and remains until entering the viscoplastic deformation stage. The influence of pressure on it also satisfies the negative correlation.
