Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of in-situ pyrolysis of rich oil coal, and particularly relates to a simulation device and a simulation method for monitoring the damage of overlying strata during in-situ pyrolysis of rich oil coal. Background Technique

[0002] Rich oil coal, as a special coal resource integrating the properties of coal, oil, and gas, has extremely rich reserves. In-situ pyrolysis of rich oil coal is a new approach and technology for obtaining oil and gas resources by heating coal seams in an airtight environment, featuring small mining disturbance, less ground pollution, and being green and low-carbon. It can alleviate the external dependence on oil and gas and increase domestic oil and gas supply.

[0003] During the in-situ pyrolysis of rich oil coal, a large amount of tar and coal gas with complex compositions are produced. Along with the overall expansion or contraction of the coal seam, the balance of the in-situ stress field is disrupted. The high temperature generated by pyrolysis will bake the overlying strata of the coal seam, causing significant changes in the rock mass structure and mechanical properties, which may lead to a series of geological environment problems such as overlying strata deformation, crack development, ground settlement, oil and gas dissipation, and groundwater leakage. In addition, compared with the traditional coal surface pyrolysis oil production technology, the in-situ underground pyrolysis of rich oil coal is also restricted by factors such as geological conditions and underground engineering capabilities, and the heating processes such as heating methods, temperatures, and heating rate used in surface pyrolysis are no longer applicable.

[0004] At present, the in-situ pyrolysis technology of rich oil coal is still in the stage of theoretical exploration and field trials. There is a lack of a physical simulation device for in-situ pyrolysis development of rich oil coal that can comprehensively monitor the geological structure evolution process and the law of pyrolysis oil and gas production with multi-parameter collaboration in the whole space, which brings great difficulties to the design and implementation of in-situ pyrolysis mining of rich oil coal, geological risk assessment, and efficient production of pyrolysis oil and gas. Therefore, mastering the geological structure evolution law and damage mode under the mining conditions of in-situ pyrolysis of rich oil coal, obtaining the optimal in-situ pyrolysis process parameters, and clarifying the best production efficiency of pyrolysis oil and gas have important practical significance for guiding the in-situ pyrolysis technology of rich oil coal.

Multiple K-type thermocouples 412 are set on each bundle of thermocouple trees 411 to monitor the temperatures at different positions of the rich oil coal layer 8 and the simulated strata 7 in real time during the in-situ pyrolysis process of the rich oil coal.

[0096] Step S4: Start the temperature controller 64 to heat the rich oil coal layer 8 in the reaction chamber module 5. At the same time, open the valve of the inert gas cylinder 38 and fill the inert gas into the rich oil coal layer 8 in the reaction chamber module 5 through the gas filling pipeline 39 to achieve the displacement of the pyrolysis oil and gas.

[0097] Step S5: Start the temperature data collector 41, network parallel electrical resistivity instrument 42, and fiber optic strain analyzer 43 in the multi-parameter collaborative monitoring and acquisition system 4 to monitor the temperature, strain, and apparent resistivity parameter information of the rich oil coal seam 8 and the simulated formation 7; start the acoustic emission signal collector 44 to monitor the fracture characteristics and dynamic evolution process of the geological structure during pyrolysis in real time, and use the pyrolysis oil and gas collection system 3 to measure the pressure and flow rate of the pyrolysis tar and pyrolysis gas mixture in real time, and collect and record the tar production and pyrolysis oil and gas.
