Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unconventional reservoir exploration and development, and particularly relates to a deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering industrial component content. BACKGROUND

[0002] Deep coalbed methane has the advantages of large coal seam thickness, low to medium metamorphic degree, high free gas content, and simple coal structure. These characteristics make the gas production of deep coalbed methane exceed 10 4 m 3 , marking a major breakthrough in the exploration and development of deep coalbed methane in China. Therefore, deep coalbed methane has become the most important unconventional energy in China. The early high production of deep coalbed methane is affected by the free gas content. However, the key to realizing stable high-yield gas production in the later stage depends on the adsorbed gas content. Studies have shown that there are significant differences in pore structure at different depths in relatively thick coal seams, mainly affected by coal facies. This pore structure heterogeneity leads to significant differences in adsorbed gas and free gas content in the same coal seam. Therefore, studying the influence of coal facies on the adsorption process and adsorption capacity of deep coalbed methane is the key to realizing sustained high production of deep coalbed methane.

[0003] The current coal facies is generally classified based on the intersection of coal facies parameters. However, based on the conventional coal facies type classification method, there are still significant differences in pore structure in the same coal facies of deep coal seams. Therefore, the conventional coal facies type classification is not conducive to optimizing deep favorable coal facies and finding sweet spot areas.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology has established a coal facies type classification method. However, there are still the following problems: (1) related studies have proposed various coal facies parameters, and the applicability of different coal facies parameters to different coal facies characteristics needs further study. (2) Related results show that there is a relationship between industrial components and micropores, and micropores restrict the adsorptivity of deep coalbed methane and the sustained high production of deep coalbed methane. Therefore, a deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering industrial component content needs to be studied.

[0005] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be further improved. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering industrial component content, which verifies the rationality and necessity of the deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering industrial component content.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted in the present application:

[0008] A deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering industrial component content, comprising the following steps in sequence:

[0017] The above-mentioned deep coal seam coal facies type division method considering the industrial component content, in S1, the submicroscopic components of the target coal sample include structural vitrinite, homogeneous vitrinite, matrix vitrinite, clumpy vitrinite, gelinite, fusinite, semifusinite, coarse grain and inertodetrinite.

[0018] The deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering the content of industrial components divides the vegetation type into herb and forest, divides the water covering degree into dry, wet and water covering, and divides the swamp evolution degree into low and high, wherein, when F / M>1, it represents a stagnant environment with weak water flow activity; and when F / M≤1, it represents a live water environment with strong water flow activity.

[0019] The deep coal seam coal facies type classification method considering the content of industrial components is V / I=Vitrinite Group / Inertinite Group, wherein, when V / I>4, it represents strong water covering; when 1

[0040] S4, considering the influence of industrial components on the division of coal facies, the content difference of ash, moisture, volatile matter and fixed carbon in coal facies and the influence on micropore are discussed.

[0041] S5, according to the fact that the ash content is the most different in the same coal facies and has the strongest influence on micropore, the ash content index is added, and the fine division of coal facies type is further improved.

Figure 1 As shown in the formula (1), the formula (2) and the formula (3), Figure 1 is the identification diagram of the submicroscopic component type of the target coal sample.

[0047] Step two: the six coal facies parameters of the target coal sample in the research area, including the organization structure preservation index TPI, the vegetation index VI, the gelation index GI, the vitrinite-inertinite ratio V / I, the groundwater flow influence index GWI and the bone base ratio F / M are analyzed.When TPI>1 or VI>1, it represents the forest swamp of the woody plants; when TPI<1 or VI<1, it represents the lake environment mainly with the herbaceous plants.

Finally, the micropore pore volume difference of the humid herbaceous bog facies based on the ash content is large, which further verifies the necessity and rationality of the coal facies division type, as shown in Table 2, Figures 12 to 14
