Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of coalbed methane mining technology, and specifically relates to a coalbed methane sampling device and method for coalbed methane exploration. Background Art

[0002] Coalbed methane, commonly known as "gas," is an unconventional natural gas mineral resource that coexists with coal. Its primary components are methane and hydrocarbon gases, primarily adsorbed on the surface of coal particles, with some remaining free in coal pores or dissolved in coalbed water. When its concentration in air reaches 5% to 16%, it can explode when exposed to open flames, posing a major threat to coal mine safety. However, coalbed methane is also an excellent fuel for industrial, chemical, power generation, and residential use. Its calorific value is two to five times that of conventional coal, and its combustion produces virtually no harmful emissions, making it a truly high-quality, clean energy source. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of coalbed methane extraction technology, it has become a highly valuable mineral energy source.

[0003] Currently, coalbed methane (CBM) extraction is primarily divided into two methods: underground extraction and surface drilling. Underground extraction involves extracting coal first and then gas, or extracting gas simultaneously. As a result, the vast majority of the extracted CBM is still released into the atmosphere, preventing it from being effectively utilized. Surface drilling, on the other hand, involves extracting gas first and then coal, creating an excellent foundation for the effective utilization of CBM and also improving coal mine safety. Therefore, surface drilling is the more advanced method of CBM extraction. CBM extraction relies primarily on CBM exploration, and CBM sampling is a crucial component of this exploration process. Unlike underground extraction, where personnel can descend into the well using needle-type samplers and air bags, surface CBM extraction personnel cannot descend into the well and must instead use sampling devices. However, existing CBM sampling devices are generally simple in function and structure, making sampling unreliable. This results in low sampling efficiency and poor quality, impacting the accuracy of CBM exploration results. Summary of the Invention

[0089] In this technical solution, the sampling head 14 includes a top pressure plate 143 and two telescopic rods 142. The fixed ends of the two telescopic rods 142 are fixedly connected to the shell of the extraction chamber 11, and the telescopic ends of the two telescopic rods 142 are respectively connected to both sides of the top pressure plate 143 to adjust the distance between the top pressure plate 143 and the shell of the extraction chamber 11 through the telescopic rods 142. An extraction branch road 172 is provided on the extraction main road 171, and a sampling port 141 is opened in the middle of the top pressure plate 143. The sampling port 141 is connected to the extraction branch road 172 through a high-pressure hose 144, so that the sampling head 14 is connected to the extraction main road 171 through the extraction branch road 172. The coalbed methane enters the extraction main road 171 after passing through the sampling port 141, the high-pressure hose 144 and the extraction branch road 172 in turn, and then enters the sampling main road 19 from the extraction main road 171.

[0091] In this technical solution, the sampling port 141 is aligned with the extraction port 29 on the inner wall of the well 38 to extract and sample. A one-way valve 30 is provided on the extraction port 29 to prevent the extraction port 29 from discharging coalbed methane at any time. During sampling, the sampling port 141 of the sampling head 14 is correspondingly plugged into the extraction port 29 of the well 38. A filter screen 31 is provided in the sampling port 141, and a pressure head 32 capable of pushing open the one-way valve 30 is provided on the filter screen 31. The pressure head 32 is used to push open the one-way valve 30 to ensure that the coalbed methane can flow out of the extraction port 29, and then the coalbed methane is extracted through the sampling head 14. An ultrasonic probe 33 is installed on the shell of the extraction cabin 11, and the position of the ultrasonic probe 33 is made to correspond one-to-one with the sampling head 14, so that the specific position of the extraction port 29 can be detected by the ultrasonic probe 33, so that the sampling port 141 can be quickly and accurately docked with the extraction port 29, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the sampling efficiency.

[0092] Furthermore, the filter screen 31 is made of a stainless steel porous screen coaxially arranged with the sampling port 141. Specifically, the thickness of the filter screen 31 is 3 mm to 5 mm to ensure that the filter screen 31 provides a sufficiently strong support effect on the pressure head 32, thereby ensuring that the filter screen 31 can push the one-way valve 30 open.

The extraction main valve 42 controls the connectivity between the pre-extraction branch 173 and all extraction branches 172 and the extraction main road 171. By setting a pre-extraction pump 34 on the pre-extraction branch 173, pre-extraction is carried out before formal extraction, and the main extraction valve 42 is kept in a closed state to reduce the pressure in the pre-extraction branch 173 in advance, thereby increasing the initial suction force during extraction. By setting the pre-extraction pump 34 to provide a sufficiently strong pre-extraction force, it provides a guarantee for the subsequent continuous extraction of coalbed methane and improves the efficiency of continuous extraction of coalbed methane; by setting a pre-extraction valve 43 and a remote pressure gauge 35 on the pre-extraction branch 173, the pressure in the pre-extraction branch 173 can be controlled and monitored, and then it is judged according to the pressure in the pre-extraction branch 173 whether the conditions for starting continuous extraction of coalbed methane are met.

[0095] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the coalbed methane sampling device for coalbed methane exploration also includes: a micro hydraulic station 36 and a sampling controller 37; a hydraulic control valve group is provided on the micro hydraulic station 36, the micro hydraulic station 36 is arranged in the power cabin 12, and the micro hydraulic station 36 provides power for the extraction cabin 11; the sampling controller 37 is arranged in the power cabin 12, the sampling controller 37 is electrically connected to the micro hydraulic station 36, and the sampling controller 37 controls the power cabin 12 and the expansion and contraction rod 15.

[0096] In this technical solution, the micro hydraulic station 36 provides power for the expansion and contraction rod 15, the telescopic rod 142, the pre-extraction pump 34 and the extraction pump 18, and the hydraulic pressure of the micro hydraulic station 36 is controlled by the hydraulic control valve group; the ultrasonic probe 33, the pressure sensor 16, the remote pressure gauge 35, the micro hydraulic station 36 and all valves except the manual valve 25 are electrically connected to the sampling controller 37 and controlled by the sampling controller 37.

[0097] Furthermore, the pre-extraction pump 34 is a hydraulic plunger pump, the extraction pump 18 is a hydraulic diaphragm pump, and the expansion rod 15 and the telescopic rod 142 are both hydraulic cylinders.

[0098] Furthermore, the hydraulic plunger pump and the hydraulic diaphragm pump are both hydraulically driven reciprocating suction pumps, and the hydraulic power of the hydraulic plunger pump, the hydraulic diaphragm pump, the hydraulic cylinder of the expansion rod 15 and the hydraulic cylinder of the telescopic rod 142 all comes from the micro hydraulic station 36.

[0099] like Figure 6 As shown, according to the second aspect of the present application, a coalbed methane sampling method for coalbed methane exploration is proposed, which is applied to a coalbed methane sampling device for coalbed methane exploration as in any one of the above technical solutions, comprising:

[0100] Step 100: Assemble the sampling chamber 13, connect the sampling device to the lower end of the drill pipe 41, and send the sampling device into the well 38 through the drill pipe 41;

[0101] Step 200: After the sampling device is lowered to a preset position in the well 38, the specific location of the extraction port 29 on the inner wall of the well 38 where coalbed methane sampling is required is detected, and the sampling head 14 is connected to the corresponding extraction port 29;

[0102] Step 300: Press the expansion rod 15 and the sampling head 14 against the inner wall of the well 38;

[0103] Step 400: The interior of the extraction chamber 11 is brought into a negative pressure state, and the coalbed methane is pre-extracted through the sampling head 14;

[0104] Step 500: Continuously extracting coalbed methane and transporting the coalbed methane to the sampling cabin 13 for collection;

[0105] Step 600 : Separate the expansion and contraction rod 15 and the sampling head 14 from the inner wall of the well 38 , and pull the sampling device back to the top of the well 38 via the drill pipe 41 .

[0106] In the coalbed methane sampling method for coalbed methane exploration provided in the embodiment of the present application, the power cabin 12 provides power for the sampling cabin 13 to extract, and the coalbed methane extracted by the sampling head 14 is collected and stored by the sampling cabin 13; by pre-extracting the coalbed methane before extracting the coalbed methane, the suction force of the subsequent extraction is increased, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of the coalbed methane; the sampling head 14 and the expansion and contraction rod 15 are respectively located on both sides of the sampling device, and the sampling head 14 is first made to reach the vicinity of the corresponding extraction port 29 and dock with the extraction port 29. When the extraction cabin 11 reaches the preset sampling position in the borehole 38, the expansion and contraction rod 15 is extended and pressed against the inner wall of the borehole 38, so that the sampling position of the extraction cabin 11 is fixed by the expansion and contraction rod 15 and the sampling head 14, thereby improving the reliability of sampling at various points in the borehole 38, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of the coalbed methane exploration results, and the sampling operation is simple and convenient, while improving the sampling efficiency and quality.

[0107] Example:

[0108] First, open the sampling door 22, install the sampling bottle 21 on the corresponding sampling branch 20 in the sampling chamber 13, manually open the manual valves 25 at the upper and lower ends of the sampling bottle 21, then close the sampling door 22, connect the entire sampling device to the lower end of the drill pipe 41, and then use the drill pipe 41 to send the sampling device into the well 38;

[0109] After the sampling device is lowered to a preset position in the well 38, the ultrasonic probe 33 is used to detect the specific position of the extraction port 29 on the inner wall of the well 38 where coalbed methane sampling is required. Based on the detection result of the ultrasonic probe 33, the position of the sampling head 14 is fine-tuned so that the sampling port 141 is docked with the corresponding extraction port 29;

[0110] The expansion rod 15 and the telescopic rod 142 are controlled to extend synchronously until the expansion rod 15 and the top pressure plate 143 are pressed against the inner wall of the well 38, thereby completing the positioning of the sampling device and the docking of the sampling port 141 with the extraction port 29. At the same time, the one-way valve 30 in the extraction port 29 is pushed open by the top pressure head 32 in the sampling port 141, thereby connecting the sampling device with the extraction port 29.

[0111] Start the pre-extraction pump 34, open the pre-extraction valve 43 and the extraction valve at the same time, and keep the extraction main valve 42 closed, so that the extraction pipeline 17 upstream of the extraction main valve 42 is in a negative pressure state, and initially extract a certain amount of coalbed methane;

[0112] Start the extraction pump 18, shut down the pre-extraction pump 34, and open the extraction main valve 42, so that the entire extraction pipeline 17 begins to continuously extract coalbed methane, which is then transported to the input end of the sampling bottle 21 through the sampling main line 19 and the sampling branch line 20. The initially extracted coalbed methane sample is mixed with a large amount of muddy water impurities. First, open the overflow valve 24 to allow the impurity-containing coalbed methane to be discharged back into the well 38 through the overflow port 23.

[0113] After a certain period of overflow drainage, the extracted coalbed methane sample has become relatively pure. At this time, the overflow valve 24 is closed, and the filling valve 26 above the sampling bottle 21 and the exhaust valve 28 below the sampling bottle 21 are opened at the same time, so that the coalbed methane sample fills the sampling bottle 21. Then, the filling valve 26, exhaust valve 28, extraction pump 18, extraction main valve 42 and extraction valve are closed;

[0114] Control the expansion and contraction rod 15 and the sampling head 14 to retract, pull the sampling device back to the top of the well 38 through the drill pipe 41, open the sampling door 22, manually close the manual valves 25 at the upper and lower ends of the sampling bottle 21, and remove the sampling bottle 21 from the sampling cabin 13, thus completing a coalbed methane sampling operation.

[0115] Coalbed methane exploration work generally requires sampling and analysis at multiple locations at different heights in the borehole 38. When sampling is required at another location in the borehole 38 again, the above steps are repeated to complete the coalbed methane sampling operation at the next location, and then the coalbed methane sampling operation is completed at different locations in the borehole 38.

Therefore, the coalbed methane sampling method for coalbed methane exploration has all the beneficial effects of the coalbed methane sampling device for coalbed methane exploration of the above-mentioned technical solutions, which will not be elaborated here.
