Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unconventional natural gas mining, and specifically is a deep coal hydraulic fracturing physical fluidization mining method. Background Art

[0002] As the main component of energy resources, coal supports the development of my country's economy and society. However, with the continuous exploitation and utilization of coal by humans, the shallow coal resources of the earth have gradually become exhausted. The development of coal resources needs to continue to move to the deep earth, and kilometer-level mine mining will become the norm. From the perspective of my country's energy development strategy, coal will remain the main energy and basic energy of my country for a considerable period of time in the future, and nearly 70% of my country's coal resources are distributed at a depth of more than 2000m. Therefore, deep coal resource mining is imperative. However, according to the existing mining methods, the level of mining technology development, and the level of mine disaster awareness and prevention, the mining depth of coal resources cannot be extended infinitely to the deep. The traditional mining methods and the current technical level are no longer sufficient to support the mining process of deep coal resources. Based on this, Academician Xie Heping proposed in 2012 that the future development of deep coal should realize the mining technology idea of ​​ecological mines with "no coal out of the ground, no people underground, underground ore dressing, combustion power generation and underground gasification integration". The academic concept of fluidized mining of deep coal resources was first proposed in 2014, and a preliminary technical framework for deep in-situ fluidized mining of coal was formed.

[0003] Among them, physical crushing fluidized mining technology refers to the use of deep high stress, through drilling and water jet rock breaking, inducing deep coal body protrusion to form mixed fluid materials such as particle flow, gas, and liquid, forming a particle size that meets the pipeline transmission, and then achieving the purpose of pipeline negative pressure fluidization to the surface, so as to carry out ground extraction operations. However, a large number of studies have shown that most coal seams in China are low-permeability coal seams, and usually the number of pores and cracks inside these coal seams is limited. With the increase in the depth of coal seam mining, the ground stress continues to rise, the permeability of the coal seam is further reduced, and the difficulty of coalbed methane extraction increases accordingly. Therefore, the permeability enhancement technology of low-permeability coal seams has become one of the keys to coalbed methane extraction research. In recent years, ultra-high pressure hydraulic cutting and decompression and permeability enhancement technology has developed rapidly. This technology uses high-pressure water flow to cut and flush rocks, and by changing the stress distribution of rocks around the borehole, the cracks are enlarged, and finally the rock pressure relief and permeability enhancement are achieved. However, this technology has problems such as unsatisfactory hole expansion effect, low hole protection efficiency, and small improvement in the permeability of the explosion layer gas. In order to effectively solve the above technical problems, it is urgent to provide a new type of deep coal hydraulic crushing physical fluidization mining method. Summary of the invention

The channel is connected with the inner cavity of the guide pipe interface; the centers of the two ends of the oscillating jet nozzle in the length direction have relatively distributed nozzle inlets and nozzle outlets, and at the same time, the inner center area of ​​the oscillating jet nozzle is provided with an oscillation cavity connecting the nozzle inlet and the nozzle outlet, and at the same time, the interior of the oscillating jet nozzle is symmetrically provided with two feedback channels on both sides of the oscillation cavity, and the feedback channels are bent channels, and the two ends thereof are respectively connected with the head and tail ends of the oscillation cavity; the cross section of the inner cavity of the nozzle outlet is in the shape of a fan of 120°, and the small end is connected with the oscillation cavity, and the large end is located on the outside; the drilling rig is installed at the end of the drill rod; the drill bit is installed at the output end of the drilling rig;

[0015] S33: Establishing a connection between the drilling rig frame and the drill rod 9;

[0016] Step 4: Drilling opposite fishbone wells;

[0017] S41: lowering the oscillating jet drilling and slotting integrated tool into the horizontal well of the coal seam, and controlling the operation of the drilling rig through the console, using the drilling rig to drive the drill bit to rotate at high speed for drilling operations, and drilling multiple horizontal branch wells in sequence at different positions along the length direction of the horizontal well, while ensuring that the multiple horizontal branch wells and the axis of the horizontal well are located in the same plane, and that the horizontal well and the multiple horizontal branch wells are distributed in a fishbone shape as a whole, thereby forming a fishbone well; in this process, multiple horizontal branch wells of different fishbone wells in the same coal seam are arranged in a staggered layout, forming a staggered opposite fishbone well network in the same coal seam;

[0018] S42: After the drilling of the herringbone well is completed, the oscillating jet drilling and slotting integrated tool is first withdrawn from the wellbore, and then the branch horizontal well is washed and desludged, followed by pumping operations to ensure that there is no water accumulation in the herringbone well;

[0019] Step 5: Water jet rock breaking and cutting operation;

[0020] S51: once again, the oscillating jet drilling and slotting integrated tool is moved deep into the set slotting position in the horizontal branch well;

[0021] S52: Start the slotting and cavitation function to perform high-pressure swing abrasive water jet slotting operations; start the high-pressure water pump through the control console, and synchronously provide negative pressure to the water tank and the sand tank, so that the water in the water tank and the sand in the sand tank enter the high-pressure water pump in proportion and mix to form a sand-containing water flow, and then supply the oscillating jet nozzle combined slotting tool through the ultra-high pressure water injector and the guide pipe in the drill pipe, and the three oscillating jet nozzles oscillate the jets to form an annular high-pressure jet surrounding the wellbore, and use the high-pressure jet to penetrate and cut the surrounding rock in the horizontal branch well, and then form an annular slot in the fishbone well;

[0024] Step 7: Induce crack expansion in goaf area;

[0025] By utilizing the induction effect of the seams and goaf, cracks are formed in the coal seams around the fishbone wells to release the stress of the coal seams. During the stress release process of the coal seams, the cracks are further induced to expand, so that the cracks around the staggered fishbone wells communicate with each other, thereby forming a high-quality complex crack network in the target coal seam.

[0026] Step 8: Use coal seam fissures to extract coal seam gas;

At the same time, the complex fracture network that communicates with each other is used to complete the extraction of the desorbed gas from the coal seam;

[0028] Step 9: Remaining coal gasification operation;

[0029] S91: After the extraction operation is completed, the gasification pipe string is lowered to the end of the horizontal well and an oxidant is injected to ignite or detonate the methane-air mixture in the complex fracture network by electric shock ignition. The high temperature conditions generated by the combustion and explosion process are used to evaporate the residual water in the coal seam to form water vapor, and the coal and water vapor are prompted to continue to react chemically to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which further promotes the hydrogen, carbon monoxide and coal to continue to react chemically to produce methane;

[0030] S92: Recover the gasification string upward to complete the gasification operation of all horizontal well sections.

[0031] Preferably, in step one, the construction parameters include well layout orientation, drilling depth, slit position and slit spacing.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to provide a reliable power supply to the drilling rig and to facilitate real-time monitoring of the operating status of the drilling rig, in step three S32, the power supply cable and signal cable connected to the drilling rig are extended to the position of the console through the annular cavity inside the drill pipe and connected to the console.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to further improve the efficiency of the water jet rock breaking and cutting operation and to form a more ideal annular groove, in step three S32, the cross-section of the inner cavity of the nozzle inlet is an isosceles trapezoid, with the large diameter end located on the outside and the small diameter end connected to the oscillation cavity.

[0034] Preferably, in step six, the mixed fluid substance includes granular fluid, gas and liquid.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to enable the drill rod to meet the ultra-high pressure requirements, in step three S32, the drill rod is an ultra-high pressure sealed drill rod.

[0036] The present invention proposes a deep coal hydraulic fracturing physical fluidization mining method, which aims to realize the pressure relief and permeability enhancement and physical fluidization mining operations of low-permeability deep coal seams. First, multiple composite well bodies are arranged in an interlaced manner in the length direction of the coal seam, and the upper and lower horizontal wells in the adjacent composite well bodies are formed into opposite wells. On this basis, a network of opposite fishbone wells is directionally drilled in the same coal seam, which can ensure that the constructed opposite fishbone well network can effectively cover the coal seam area to be mined, and at the same time, ensure that the constructed fluidized mining network basic framework can provide reliable guarantees for the full and comprehensive mining of the coal seam to be mined. Secondly, an oscillating abrasive water jet drilling and slitting integrated tool with a drilling rig and an oscillating jet nozzle combined slitting tool is selected as a drilling and slitting operation equipment. On the one hand, the drilling rig can be used to drive the drill bit to conveniently and efficiently perform the drilling operation of the fishbone well. On the other hand, the oscillating jet nozzle combined slitting tool can also be used to perform convenient and efficient jet rock breaking and slitting operations, realizing the multi-purpose use of the same operation tool, effectively reducing the operation process, and significantly improving the operation efficiency. When performing jet rock breaking and cutting operations, a high-pressure water pump is used to synchronously absorb the sand in the sand tank and the water in the water tank. The sand can be entrained by the high-pressure water flow to form a sand-containing water flow, which is then supplied to the oscillating jet nozzle combined cutting tool. In this way, the surrounding rock can be cut using conventional abrasive water jet cutting technology. In particular, the present invention has a special structural design for the oscillating jet nozzle combined slitting tool (oscillating jet nozzle and its internal structure), so that the interior of the oscillating jet nozzle is provided with an oscillation cavity, and dual feedback channels are provided on both sides of the oscillation cavity, so that a self-excited oscillation structure can be formed, and then the abrasive water jet can be induced to perform continuous sweeping motion during the jetting process. After a large number of tests, the deflection angle of the outlet jet of a single oscillating jet nozzle can reach about 120°. Specifically, for each oscillating jet nozzle, when the jet flows into the nozzle inlet, the main jet will become unstable when entering the oscillation cavity with a larger space, and it will deflect to both sides of the oscillation cavity. Due to the "Coanda effect", the main jet will stick to the side wall after being unstable, and flow along the wall surface, so as to flow out from the nozzle outlet. Part of the jet will enter the feedback channels on both sides, and then flow back to the inlet throat of the nozzle inlet, so that the main jet can be induced to deflect to the other side, and the cycle will be repeated to form a sweeping oscillating jet at the nozzle outlet. On this basis, the oscillating jet nozzle combined cutting tool formed by the combination of three oscillating jet nozzles can realize the annular cutting operation along the side wall of the main borehole; compared with the conventional hydraulic cutting technology, it can complete the expansion of multi-layer radial annular slots and the physical crushing process of the coal seam, effectively promoting the communication of each layer of cracks and forming a higher quality complex network of cracks; at the same time, it can induce the coal body to protrude through the cutting operation to form a mixed fluid material with a particle size that meets the pipeline transmission requirements, thereby enabling fluidized pipeline transportation of coal seam particles, and promoting the formation of a three-dimensional cutting goaf through a number of interlaced slots.The formation of three-dimensional slotted goaf can effectively induce the generation of tensile shear fractures, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of coalbed methane extraction and building a fluidized mining network for particle flow, gas, solid and other materials in deep low-permeability coal seams. With the further expansion of induced fractures, the permeability of coal seams can be significantly improved, which is conducive to the efficient extraction of coalbed methane. Through the chemical reaction of water vapor and coal in the fishbone well and fracture network under high temperature environment, the coal is converted into combustible gases such as hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide in situ, achieving the purpose of in-situ fluidized mining, and at the same time, effectively improving the efficiency of fluidized mining and conversion.

[0037] The present invention adopts a technical method that combines water jet rock breaking and cutting in low-permeability coal seams with physical fluidized mining. The implementation process is simple, and it can effectively improve the hole expansion efficiency while ensuring the hole expansion effect. The three-dimensional cutting holes and grooves formed produce a pressure relief effect in the axial direction and induce the formation of cracks, thereby significantly improving the permeability of the coal seam, solving the problem of fluidized mining inducing coal body outburst, and effectively improving the coalbed methane extraction efficiency.

In this process, the sand in the sand tank 13 will be entrained by the high-pressure water flow and enter the ultra-high pressure water injector 16 together; then the oscillating jet nozzle combined slotting tool 8 is supplied through the ultra-high pressure water injector 16 and the guide tube 10 in the drill pipe 9, and the oscillating jet is swung through three oscillating jet nozzles 17 to form an annular high-pressure jet surrounding the wellbore, and the high-pressure jet is used in the horizontal branch well 30 to penetrate and cut the surrounding rock, thereby forming an annular slot 25 in the fishbone well 4;

[0074] The principle diagram of the oscillation jet swing is as follows: when the jet flows in from the nozzle inlet 21, the main jet will become unstable when entering the larger oscillation cavity 19, and then deflect to the two sides of the oscillation cavity 19. Due to the "Coanda effect", the main jet will stick to the side wall after being unstable, flow along the wall, and then flow out from the nozzle outlet 20. However, due to the flow limiting effect of the nozzle outlet 20, part of the jet enters the feedback channels 22 on both sides and flows back to the inlet throat. By stimulating the main jet, the main jet is induced to deflect to the other side, thereby pushing the main jet to the other feedback channel 22, and repeating the cycle. A sweeping oscillating jet is formed at the nozzle outlet 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As a preferred embodiment, the deflection angle of the jet can be effectively increased by adjusting the length of the feedback channel 18 inside the oscillating jet nozzle 17 and the size of the oscillating cavity 19. The oscillating jet nozzle combined slotting tool 8 composed of three oscillating jet nozzles 17 can realize an annular slot 25 along the main borehole.

[0075] Step 6: fluidization extraction of coal particles;

[0076] The rock breaking and cutting operation is used to induce the coal body to protrude and form a mixed fluid material 23 that meets the particle size of the pipeline transmission. At the same time, the fluidized transportation effect generated by the negative pressure of the pipeline is used to continuously mine the coal around the fishbone well 4 in a fluidized form; at the same time, a number of interlaced slots 25 are used to promote the formation of the goaf 24, such as Fig. 9 As shown;

[0077] Step 7: Induce crack expansion in goaf area;

[0078] By utilizing the induction effect of the seam slots 25 and the goaf 24, cracks 27 are formed in the coal seam around the herringbone wells 4. The cracks 27 are mainly tensile shear cracks, which release the stress of the coal seam. In the process of releasing the stress of the coal seam, the cracks 27 are further induced to expand, so that the cracks around the staggered herringbone wells 4 communicate with each other, thereby forming a high-quality complex crack network in the target coal seam 1, such as Fig.10 As shown;

[0079] Step 8: Use coal seam fissures to extract coal seam gas;

[0080] The complex fracture network constructed is used to improve the permeability of the coal seam and the desorption efficiency of the coal seam gas. At the same time, the complex fracture network that communicates with each other is used to complete the extraction operation of the coal seam desorption gas 26, such as Fig.10 As shown;

[0081] Step 9: Remaining coal gasification operation;

[0082] S91: Fig.11As shown, after the extraction operation is completed, the gasification pipe column 28 is lowered to the end of the horizontal well 3, and the oxidant 29 is injected to ignite or detonate the methane-air mixture in the complex fracture network by electric shock ignition. The high temperature conditions generated by the combustion and explosion process are used to evaporate the residual water in the coal seam 1 to form water vapor, and the coal and water vapor are prompted to continue to react chemically to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and further promote the hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and coal to continue to react chemically to produce methane;

[0083] S92: Recover the gasification pipe string 28 upward to complete the gasification operation of all horizontal well sections 3.

[0084] As a preferred embodiment, in step one, the construction parameters include well layout orientation, drilling depth, slit position and slit spacing, etc.

[0085] In order to provide a reliable power supply to the drilling rig 7 and to facilitate real-time monitoring of the operating status of the drilling rig 7, in step three S32, the power supply cable and signal cable connected to the drilling rig 7 are extended to the position of the console 14 through the annular cavity inside the drill pipe 9 and are connected to the console 14.

[0086] In order to further improve the efficiency of water jet rock breaking and cutting operations and form a more ideal annular groove, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in step 3 S32, the cross section of the inner cavity of the nozzle inlet 21 is an isosceles trapezoid, with the large diameter end located on the outside and the small diameter end connected to the oscillation cavity 19. As a preferred embodiment, the length of the inner cavity of the nozzle inlet 21 is 3 mm, the inner diameter of the small diameter end is 2 mm, and the inner diameter of the large diameter end is 4 mm;

[0087] As a preference, in step six, the mixed fluid substance 23 includes granular fluid, gas, liquid and the like.

[0088] In order to enable the drill rod 9 to meet the requirements of ultra-high pressure operation, in step three S32, the drill rod 9 is an ultra-high pressure sealed drill rod.

[0089] The present invention proposes a deep coal hydraulic fracturing physical fluidization mining method, which aims to realize the pressure relief and permeability enhancement and physical fluidization mining operations of low-permeability deep coal seams. First, multiple composite well bodies are arranged in an interlaced manner in the length direction of the coal seam, and the upper and lower horizontal wells in the adjacent composite well bodies are formed into opposite wells. On this basis, a network of opposite fishbone wells is directionally drilled in the same coal seam, which can ensure that the constructed opposite fishbone well network can effectively cover the coal seam area to be mined, and at the same time, ensure that the constructed fluidized mining network basic framework can provide reliable guarantees for the full and comprehensive mining of the coal seam to be mined. Secondly, an oscillating abrasive water jet drilling and slitting integrated unit with a drilling rig and an oscillating jet nozzle combined slitting tool is selected as the drilling and slitting operation equipment. On the one hand, the drilling rig can be used to drive the drill bit to conveniently and efficiently perform the drilling operation of the fishbone well. On the other hand, the oscillating jet nozzle combined slitting tool can also be used to perform convenient and efficient jet rock breaking and slitting operations, realizing the multi-purpose use of the same operation tool, effectively reducing the operation process, and significantly improving the operation efficiency. When performing jet rock breaking and cutting operations, a high-pressure water pump is used to synchronously absorb the sand in the sand tank and the water in the water tank. The sand can be entrained by the high-pressure water flow to form a sand-containing water flow, which is then supplied to the oscillating jet nozzle combined cutting tool. In this way, the surrounding rock can be cut using conventional abrasive water jet cutting technology. In particular, the present invention has a special structural design for the oscillating jet nozzle combined slitting tool (oscillating jet nozzle and its internal structure), so that the interior of the oscillating jet nozzle is provided with an oscillation cavity, and dual feedback channels are provided on both sides of the oscillation cavity, so that a self-excited oscillation structure can be formed, and then the abrasive water jet can be induced to perform continuous sweeping motion during the jetting process. After a large number of tests, the deflection angle of the outlet jet of a single oscillating jet nozzle can reach about 120°. Specifically, for each oscillating jet nozzle, when the jet flows into the nozzle inlet, the main jet will become unstable when entering the oscillation cavity with a larger space, and it will deflect to both sides of the oscillation cavity. Due to the "Coanda effect", the main jet will stick to the side wall after being unstable, and flow along the wall surface, so as to flow out from the nozzle outlet. Part of the jet will enter the feedback channels on both sides, and then flow back to the inlet throat of the nozzle inlet, so that the main jet can be induced to deflect to the other side, and the cycle will be repeated to form a sweeping oscillating jet at the nozzle outlet. On this basis, the oscillating jet nozzle combined cutting tool formed by the combination of three oscillating jet nozzles can realize the annular cutting operation along the side wall of the main borehole; compared with the conventional hydraulic cutting technology, it can complete the expansion of multi-layer radial annular slots and the physical crushing process of the coal seam, effectively promoting the communication of each layer of cracks and forming a higher quality complex network of cracks; at the same time, it can induce the coal body to protrude through the cutting operation to form a mixed fluid material with a particle size that meets the pipeline transmission requirements, thereby enabling fluidized pipeline transportation of coal seam particles, and promoting the formation of a three-dimensional cutting goaf through a number of interlaced slots.The formation of three-dimensional slotted goaf can effectively induce the generation of tensile shear fractures, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of coalbed methane extraction and building a fluidized mining network for particle flow, gas, solid and other materials in deep low-permeability coal seams. With the further expansion of induced fractures, the permeability of coal seams can be significantly improved, which is conducive to the efficient extraction of coalbed methane. Through the chemical reaction of water vapor and coal in the fishbone well and fracture network under high temperature environment, the coal is converted into combustible gases such as hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide in situ, achieving the purpose of in-situ fluidized mining, and at the same time, effectively improving the efficiency of fluidized mining and conversion.

[0090] The present invention adopts a technical method that combines water jet rock breaking and cutting in low-permeability coal seams with physical fluidized mining. The implementation process is simple, and it can effectively improve the hole expansion efficiency while ensuring the hole expansion effect. The three-dimensional cutting holes and grooves formed produce a pressure relief effect in the axial direction and induce the formation of cracks, thereby significantly improving the permeability of the coal seam, solving the problem of fluidized mining inducing coal body outburst, and effectively improving the coalbed methane extraction efficiency.
