Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention patent relates to the technical field of coal mining, specifically a method for predicting the distribution characteristics of in-situ coal permeability based on image processing. Background Art
[0002] China has a large annual coal output, and coal mine disasters are serious, among which the proportion of coal and gas outburst accidents is relatively large. This is mainly because the geological conditions for coal mining in China are complex, and low-permeability coal seams are relatively developed, which brings great challenges to the effective implementation of gas drainage and outburst prevention and elimination measures. According to on-site observations and experimental studies, tectonic soft coal containing high-energy gas is the key to inducing coal and gas outbursts. The high pulverization, low strength, high energy storage, and low permeability of tectonic soft coal itself are the fundamental reasons for coal and gas outbursts. Therefore, accurately identifying and dividing the low-permeability dangerous areas of in-situ coal is the key to realizing the regional prediction of coal and gas outbursts and formulating targeted regional outburst prevention measures, reducing the blindness of coal and gas outburst prevention work, and can effectively improve the safe and stable mining of complex coal seams.
[0003] However, the in-situ coal in front of the mining and excavation working face has the characteristics of being invisible and having a wide range. At the same time, affected by geological structures and mining and excavation stresses, the coal seam structure is complex, the phenomenon of alternating hard and soft coal layers is common, and the pore and fracture structure of the coal body is complex and diverse, making it quite difficult to quantitatively and accurately describe the development characteristics of the pore and fracture structure of the in-situ coal in front of the mining and excavation working face. Based on this, this invention introduces image processing technology combined with the theory of coal reservoir permeability calculation to quantitatively describe the development characteristics of the pore and fracture of in-situ coal in the actual coal mining process, reveal the permeability distribution law of in-situ coal in front of the mining and excavation working face, and then accurately identify the low-permeability gas areas and enrichment zones, providing certain guidance for formulating targeted prevention and control measures for local dangerous areas of coal and gas outbursts. Summary of the Invention

[0007] S101 Borehole drilling technology is mainly used to obtain underground coal and rock samples to obtain coal and rock properties and structural information. First, the drilling rig is arranged in the mining and excavation roadway, and the horizontal drilling operation method is adopted. The in-situ coal is broken by relying on the rotation of the drill bit and the drilling pressure, and the drill pipe is responsible for transmitting the rotational power and drilling pressure to the drill bit to complete the drilling of the in-situ coal to obtain the coal sample;
[0008] After completing the drilling of a coal sample, use a drill bit to cut the coal sample along the length of the borehole, remove the coal sample from the core barrel, and mark the borehole number, depth range, and date information of the coal sample;
[0009] S103 Subsequently, according to the drilling depth range of the borehole, the coal samples taken from the borehole are cut with micro-disturbance at the unit length, and the pore fissure structure of the cutting section hole is scanned and imaged by the high-resolution imager built in the digital core CT image module to obtain a two-dimensional image p reflecting the pore development characteristics of the coal sample cross-section at the unit length i , repeat the above process to complete the segmentation and scanning of the coal samples at the full distance of the borehole, and obtain a two-dimensional image set P (p 1 , p 2 , p 3 , ……) reflecting the pore development characteristics of the coal samples within the set drilling depth range of the borehole;
[0010] S104 Furthermore, the image information of the two-dimensional image set P (p 1 , p 2 , p 3 , ……) of the coal samples is transmitted to the image parameter calculation module through the image transmission system of the digital core CT image module. The image processor built in the image parameter calculation module first converts the two-dimensional original image obtained by scanning the coal samples into a binary image, and calculates the pore structure parameters of the binary image respectively relying on the built-in parameter processor: the surface porosity φ i , the pore diameter D i , and the pore tortuosity τ i ;
[0011] S105 Subsequently, the pore structure parameter data set is transmitted to the permeability region identification module, and the permeability k i under the pore structure parameters of the image is calculated according to the permeability calculation equation setting program. The coal cross-section images at different positions of the same borehole correspond to different permeabilities, and the permeability values k i of the coal cross-section images at different positions are calculated to further obtain a data subset K i (k 1 , k 2 , k 3 ……) reflecting the permeability of the coal in the borehole; Summarize all the borehole data subsets K i to obtain a data set K (K 1, K 2, K 3 ……) reflecting the size characteristics of the coal permeability in the three-dimensional space of the detection area;
[0012] S106 Finally, the data set K (K1, K 2, K 3 ……) is transmitted to the in-situ coal permeability data processor built in the permeability region identification module to complete the identification and division of the low-permeability development area of in-situ coal based on the magnitude of the permeability value.

[0015] Preferably, the image parameter calculation module mainly realizes the image conversion, pore structure parameter calculation, and acquisition of the pore structure parameter data set of the two-dimensional image set of different cross-sections of the coal sample; the principle is as follows: affected by geological structures, the structure of in-situ coal is complex, and there is often a phenomenon of locally occurring crushed soft coal. Compared with the original hard coal, the tectonic soft coal affected by geological tectonic actions often shows characteristics such as high pulverization degree, high development degree of pores and fractures, and at the same time, generally has low permeability and is easy to form a natural sealing area, resulting in a large amount of gas accumulation; it is not difficult to see that there are significant differences in the coal body structure between tectonic soft coal and original hard coal; therefore, after micro-disturbance sampling of the coal body sample by drilling a borehole, the obtained coal body sample is cut to obtain the cross-section of the coal body sample per unit length, and the two-dimensional original image p containing the pore development information of this cross-section can be obtained through the high-resolution imager in the digital core CT image module i ; further through the image processor in the image parameter calculation module, the two-dimensional original image can be converted into a binary image, where the black part in the binary image represents the pore development situation of the two-dimensional original image. By combining the binary image representing the pore structure information with the built-in data processor, the pore structure parameters of this image can be completed: the surface porosity φ i 、pore diameter D i and pore tortuosity τ i calculation and acquisition and storage of the data set;
[0016] Preferably, based on the pore structure parameters transmitted by the image parameter calculation module, the permeability data processor in the permeability region identification module can complete the calculation of the relationship between the pore structure and permeability under the cross-sectional image of the borehole coal body by combining with Formula (1):
[0017]
[0018] In the formula, D is the pore diameter, m;
[0019] φ is the areal porosity;
[0020] τ is the pore tortuosity;
[0021] Preferably, the parameter processor in the image parameter calculation module can obtain the parameter data set of the in-situ coal body pore structure development information. The basic process is as follows: First, the coal body samples drilled from the same drilling borehole are cut in sequence according to the set unit length according to the drilling depth range, and the high-resolution imager built into the digital core CT image module is used to photograph and scan the cross-section of the coal body sample to obtain the two-dimensional original image p reflecting the pore structure development information of this cross-section i , and repeat the above process until the segmentation and scanning of the coal body samples under the full length of the drilling borehole are completed, and then a two-dimensional image set P (p 1 , p 2 , p 3 , ……) reflecting the fracture development characteristics of the coal body samples under the set drilling depth range of the borehole is obtained. Relying on the image processor, parameter processor and data memory in the image parameter calculation module, the calculation of the pore structure parameters of all coal body cross-sectional images reflecting the two-dimensional image set P of this borehole is completed, and then the parameter data set of the in-situ coal body pore structure development information is obtained;
[0022] Preferably, based on the parameter data set of the in-situ coal body pore structure development information transmitted by the image parameter calculation module, the permeability data processor in the permeability region identification module can complete the calculation of the permeability k i based on the K-C equation for each coal body sample cross-section p i , and then obtain the coal body permeability data subset K i (k 1 , k 2 , k 3 , ……) at different drilling distances of the same borehole; The drilling points are arranged in a grid layout, which effectively ensures the comprehensive acquisition of the in-situ coal body pore structure information.

[0039] S104 Further, the image information of the two-dimensional image set P(p 1 , p 2 , p 3 , ……) of the coal sample is transmitted to the image parameter calculation module through the image transmission system of the digital core CT image module. The image processor built in the image parameter calculation module first converts the two-dimensional original image obtained by scanning the coal sample into a binary image, and respectively calculates the pore structure parameters of the binary image relying on the built-in parameter processor: the surface porosity φ i , the pore diameter D i , and the pore tortuosity τ i ;
