[0001] The invention relates to the field of coalbed methane development, and in particular to a method and system for measuring exhaustion gas production pressure in the early evaluation stage of coalbed methane development. Background Art

[0002] The exhaustion gas production pressure of a coalbed methane reservoir refers to the limit pressure of a horizontal well that has industrial mining value. It is an important parameter for calculating the recovery rate or recoverable reserves of a coalbed methane reservoir. It is also an important indicator and basis for the development design of a coalbed methane field and the demonstration design of ground engineering. The lower the exhaustion gas production pressure, the higher the final recovery rate of the gas reservoir. At present, the relationship between exhaustion gas production pressure and gas production is often obtained with the help of actual coalbed methane well production data. However, in the early development and evaluation stage of a coalbed methane field, there is no actual coalbed methane production data. In order to solve the above problems, the existing technology often uses the analogy method to obtain the relationship between gas production pressure and gas production, but because it is not very targeted, it often leads to large errors, which is not conducive to the decision-making of coalbed methane development.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for measuring the exhaustion gas production pressure in the early evaluation stage of coalbed methane development, which is implemented based on an exhaustion gas production simulation device, such as Figure 1As shown, the exhaustion gas production simulation device includes a sample holder 1, the sample holder 1 is used to place the coal sample of coalbed methane, one end of the sample holder 1 is provided with an air inlet 2, and the other end is provided with an air outlet 3, the air inlet 2, the middle of the sample holder 1 and the air outlet 3 are respectively provided with pressure detectors 4, which are respectively used to detect the air inlet pressure P0, the internal pressure P1 of the coal sample and the air outlet pressure P2; the air inlet 2 is provided with a constant pressure and constant speed pump for continuously injecting methane into the coal sample, and the air outlet 3 is provided with a pressure relief valve 5 and a flow meter; the measuring method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S1: A simulation experiment is carried out using the measuring device: the coal sample of the target coal seam is dried and placed in the sample holder 1, and methane is filled into the sample using the constant pressure and constant speed pump until the internal pressure of the coal sample is equal to the actual reservoir pressure of the coal seam, and then the pressure relief valve is controlled to make the pressure drop process at the gas outlet consistent with the bottom hole pressure drop process during the actual coalbed methane well development process, while monitoring the internal pressure P1 of the coal sample and the gas flow rate at the gas outlet.

[0050] The step S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] Step S11: placing the dried coal sample in the sample holder 1 of the coalbed methane depletion gas production simulation device, and continuously evacuating the sample holder 1 at the gas outlet 3 through a vacuum pump;

[0052] Step S12: The confining pressure of the coal sample in the sample holder 1 is set to the actual vertical ground stress of the target coal seam, the axial pressure is set to the horizontal ground stress of the coal seam, and the temperature is set to the real ground temperature of the coal seam through the confining pressure control system, the axial pressure control system and the temperature control system;

[0053] Step S13: methane is charged into the coal sample in the sample holder 1 through the constant pressure and constant speed pump of the air inlet 2, and the internal pressure P1 of the coal sample is monitored in real time until the internal pressure P1 of the coal sample is equal to the actual reservoir pressure P3 of the coal seam;

[0054] Step S14: Control the opening of the pressure relief valve to control the outlet pressure P2, so that the decreasing process of the outlet pressure P2 is consistent with the decreasing process of the bottom hole flow pressure during the actual coalbed methane well development process; during the decreasing process of the outlet pressure P2, monitor the internal pressure P1 of the coal sample and the outlet gas flow L in real time.

[0055] Among them, the process of bottom hole pressure drop during actual coalbed methane well development is empirical data.

[0056] Step S2: Obtain multiple groups of coal sample internal pressure and corresponding outlet gas flow data, and fit to obtain a gas production per ton of coal-reservoir pressure prediction model.

[0057] Specifically, the specific method of step S2 is:

[0058] Step S21: obtaining multiple groups of coal sample internal pressure and corresponding outlet gas flow data;

[0059] Step S22: Calculate the gas production per ton of coal according to the gas flow rate at the gas outlet. The calculation formula is:

[0060] T = L / M0; (1)

[0061] Among them, T represents the gas production per ton of coal, L represents the gas flow rate at the gas outlet, and M0 represents the mass of the coal sample;

[0062] Step S23: Combine multiple groups of gas production per ton of coal and coal sample internal pressure P1 data corresponding to gas flow rates at different gas outlets, perform data fitting to obtain a relationship equation between gas production per ton of coal and internal pressure of coal sample for the target coal seam, and use the fitted relationship equation between gas production per ton of coal and internal pressure of coal sample as a prediction model for gas production per ton of coal and reservoir pressure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the quadratic equation T=AP1 is used. 2 +BP1+C0 are used to fit the data to obtain the relationship equation between the gas production per ton of coal in the coal seam and the internal pressure of the coal sample, where A, B, and C0 represent the three fitting parameters of the quadratic equation.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the fitting curves between the total gas production, free gas volume, adsorbed gas volume and the internal pressure of the coal sample are shown. The relationship equations obtained by fitting the above quadratic equation are:

[0064] T1=0.0831P1 2 -1.5434P1+7.2919;R 2 =0.996;

[0065] T2=-0.021P1 2 +0.019P1+0.0720;R 2 =0.788;

[0066] T3=0.0852P1 2 -1.5626P1+7.2200;R 2 =0.996;

[0067] In the formula, T1 represents the total gas production, T2 represents the free gas volume, and T3 represents the adsorbed gas volume. The relationship equation corresponding to the above total gas production is the gas production per ton of coal-reservoir pressure prediction model.

[0068] Step S3: According to the pressure values ​​measured at each pressure measurement point at the end of the simulated experiment gas production, as well as the distance between each pressure measurement point and the outlet pressure measurement point, a mathematical equation for predicting the reservoir pressure distribution in the coal seam is fitted; and the critical desorption pressure of the coal sample is substituted into the equation, and the distance value corresponding to the critical desorption pressure of the coal sample is calculated as the influence radius r of coalbed methane depletion gas production.

[0069] Specifically, in step S3, a logarithmic equation is used to fit the mathematical equation for predicting reservoir pressure distribution in the coal seam. The critical desorption pressure is measured by an isothermal adsorption test.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the logarithmic equation used for fitting is:

[0071] P = D·ln(d)+E; (2)

[0072] Among them, P represents the pressure value measured at the pressure measurement point at the end of the simulated experiment gas production, d represents the distance between the pressure measurement point and the gas outlet, and D and E are the corresponding fitting constants. Taking the time corresponding to 8500s as the end of gas production, the mathematical equation for predicting reservoir pressure distribution is: P=0.2951·ln(d)+1.9658. According to formula (2), the calculation formula for the influence radius r of coalbed methane depletion gas production is:

[0073] r= ; (3)

[0074] Wherein, e represents the natural constant, and P' represents the critical desorption pressure of the coal sample.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the test data of different pressure measurement points (inlet pressure P0, coal sample internal pressure P1, outlet pressure P2) at different times during the above-mentioned simulated experimental gas production process are recorded, which can simulate the pressure drop law during the coalbed methane depletion production process; wherein, a rectangular coordinate system is established with the outlet 3 as the coordinate origin, the horizontal axis coordinate 0 cm corresponds to the position of the outlet 3, the horizontal axis coordinate -10 cm corresponds to the position of the inlet 2, and the length of the simulation device is 10 cm; specifically, in this embodiment, according to the values ​​of each pressure measurement point at the end of the simulated experiment gas production (8500s) and the position of each pressure measurement point, the mathematical equation for predicting the reservoir pressure distribution in the coal seam is fitted, which conforms to the logarithmic distribution relationship.

[0076] Then, the critical desorption pressure of the coal sample is substituted into the mathematical equation for predicting the reservoir pressure distribution, and the distance value corresponding to the critical desorption pressure of the coal sample is calculated as the radius r of influence of coalbed methane depletion and gas production; wherein, coalbed methane is mainly adsorbed on the pore wall of the coal seam in the form of adsorbed gas, and the reservoir pressure needs to be reduced to the critical desorption pressure so that the coalbed methane is desorbed from the pore wall and then produced from the coalbed methane well; therefore, at the end of coalbed methane exploitation, the position where the reservoir pressure is the critical desorption pressure is the farthest radius that can be affected by coalbed methane depletion and gas production during the entire coalbed methane exploitation process.

[0077] Furthermore, the coal seam mass M within the reservoir pressure influence range is calculated based on the average coal seam gas thickness h, gas production influence radius r and coal seam density ρ. The calculation formula is:

[0078] M=πr 2 hρ. (4)

[0079] Step S4: Calculate the economic limit gas production per ton of coal according to the gas production impact radius r of coalbed methane depletion and the abandoned coalbed methane production.

[0080] Specifically, in step S4, the calculation formula for the economic limit gas production per ton of coal is:

[0081] Q= q ga / M=q ga / πr 2 hρ; (5)

[0082] Among them, Q represents the economic limit gas production per ton of coal, q ga represents the abandoned coalbed methane production of coalbed methane horizontal wells, M represents the coal seam quality within the influence range of reservoir pressure, h represents the average thickness of coalbed methane, and ρ represents the coal seam density.

[0083] As the production of coalbed methane horizontal wells decreases after entering the decline period, until the production cash inflow is equal to the cash outflow, the exhaustion time of coalbed methane horizontal well production occurs. At this time, the single well production of coalbed methane horizontal wells is the abandoned coalbed methane production; therefore, the present invention calculates the economic limit gas production of coalbed methane production based on the operating costs, taxes, surcharges, coalbed methane sales prices and commodity rates of the coalbed methane engineering company (the daily gas production of the coalbed methane well is sold and the income is lower than the sum of the operating costs, taxes, surcharges, etc., and continuing the mining of the coalbed well will continue to lose money at this time), the abandoned coalbed methane production of the coalbed methane horizontal well q ga The calculation formula is:

[0084] = (C + W) / (Jη); (6)

[0085] In the formula, q ga is the abandoned coalbed methane production, m 3 / d; C is the operating cost, RMB / d; W is the tax and surcharge, RMB / d; J is the coal-bed methane price, yuan / m 3 ; η is the commodity rate, %.

[0086] Step S5: Determine the depletion gas production pressure of the target coal seam based on the economic limit gas production per ton of coal obtained in step S4 and in combination with the gas production per ton of coal-reservoir pressure prediction model.

[0087] Specifically, the economic limit gas production per ton of coal Q obtained in step S4 is substituted as T1 into the relationship equation between gas production per ton of coal and internal pressure of coal sample obtained in step S2, and the internal pressure of the coal sample corresponding to the economic limit gas production per ton of coal is calculated, which is the depletion gas production pressure of the target coal seam. In this embodiment, the smaller solution of the equation is used as the depletion gas production pressure of the coal seam, and its calculation formula is:

[0088] ; (7)

[0089] in, Indicates the depletion gas production pressure of the target coal seam.

[0090] In summary, the present invention simulates coalbed methane production by adopting a depletion gas production simulation device, and obtains a gas production per ton of coal-reservoir pressure prediction model by fitting the acquired internal pressure P1 of the coal sample with the corresponding gas flow data of the gas outlet; then the coalbed methane depletion gas production influence radius r is calculated by the fitted reservoir pressure distribution prediction mathematical equation, and the abandoned coalbed methane production of the coalbed methane horizontal well is obtained by the production cash inflow status, and the economic limit gas production per ton of coal is calculated; finally, the coal seam depletion gas production pressure is calculated by the economic limit gas production per ton of coal and the gas production per ton of coal-reservoir pressure prediction model; it can effectively determine the depletion gas production pressure in the early evaluation stage of coalbed methane development, has strong pertinence and high accuracy, can provide strong technical parameter support for coalbed methane development decision-making, has great decision-making reference value, and can be applied to coalbed methane development decision-making work.
