Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waterless fracturing, and in particular to a rock-coal-rock combination fracturing and permeability enhancement experimental system and method under true triaxial conditions. Background Art
[0002] A rock-coal-rock complex is a composite geological structure formed by the natural cementation of coal seams with their roof and floor rock layers. It typically appears as a layered combination of "rock layer-coal layer-rock layer" (e.g., sandstone-coal-mudstone). This structure is widely found in coal mine strata, and its mechanical properties and seepage behavior are significantly influenced by the strength of the coal-rock interface, lithologic differences, and the distribution of in-situ stresses.
[0003] The necessity of conducting fracturing and permeability enhancement experiments on rock-coal-rock combinations is that deep soft coal seams have low permeability and are difficult to extract gas. Direct fracturing can easily cause plastic deformation of the coal body and lead to crack closure. However, by fracturing high-strength rock layers (such as sandstone) on the top and bottom plates, cracks can be induced to extend along the coal-rock interface and penetrate the original fracture network of the coal seam, achieving indirect permeability enhancement, which is beneficial for efficient deep coalbed methane extraction, gas disaster prevention and control, and Geological storage provides key parameters and theoretical support, while verifying the adaptability of indirect fracturing technology to complex geological conditions.
[0004] However, in the existing technology, during the fracturing and permeability enhancement experiment on the rock-coal-rock combination, it is often placed directly in a closed cavity for direct permeability enhancement experiment, which cannot simulate the actual three-dimensional stress state of the coal rock underground. The experimental conditions are inconsistent with reality, and accurate and reliable rock-coal-rock combination permeability enhancement data cannot be obtained. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Among them, liquid The storage tank 1 and the booster pump 2 are used to store liquid carbon dioxide, which is then pressurized by the booster pump and injected into the rock-coal-rock combination sample to achieve indirect fracturing operation, induce crack formation and improve permeability. The vacuum pump 3 is used to evacuate the internal environment of the true triaxial gripper before the experiment to simulate the underground low-pressure environment and provide Saturation treatment creates conditions. The temperature control system 4 adjusts the temperature in the experimental chamber to ensure that the experimental process is carried out under the proposed thermal conditions, reflecting the underground thermal-mechanical-gas coupling environment. Various valves (5, 10-12, 20, 24 control different gases ( ) and the on-off flow of liquids, enabling process switching and safe isolation between experimental stages. Flow meters (6,13-15) accurately measure the volumetric flow rate of injected or outflowing gas, providing basic data for permeability and displacement efficiency assessments. Gas cylinders (17-19) inject methane into the sample from three directions to perform multi-directional saturation treatment to simulate the gas occurrence state in the coal seam. Gas concentration detectors (21-23) are placed on three opposite sides of the true triaxial clamp to monitor the gas concentration in different directions in real time. The concentration changes of displacement The first, second, and third servo systems (7-9) independently apply stress to the three active surfaces of the true triaxial gripper, achieving non-isotropic stress loading in the X, Y, and Z directions, simulating the actual underground stress field. The true triaxial gripper 25 is a hexahedral hollow structure used to hold rock, coal, and rock combination specimens, serving as the core platform for loading and fluid injection.
[0058] The connection surfaces of the first, second, and third gas concentration detectors 21, 22, and 23 connected to the true triaxial clamp 25 are located on opposite sides of the movable top-view surface, movable side-view surface, and movable front-view surface, respectively.

[0059] The experimental system is based on the principle of "true triaxial loading + multi-source gas injection + multi-point detection". It uses a true triaxial clamp to achieve three-dimensional unequal stress loading on the sample and truly restore the physical behavior of coal rock in the complex stress environment underground. Indirect fracturing technology and three-way The saturation treatment system simulates the entire coalbed methane extraction process. Equipped with flow and concentration monitoring modules, it provides real-time, quantitative assessment of fracture expansion and gas displacement efficiency. The highly integrated and automated overall structure delivers more accurate and reliable experimental results, making it suitable for complex coalbed methane recovery and carbon sequestration testing.
[0060] The beneficial effects brought about by the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention include at least:
[0061] In the present invention, the rock-coal-rock combination fracturing and permeability enhancement experimental system under true triaxial conditions uses a true triaxial clamp as the core device, and through three independent servo systems, acts on the front view, top view and side view of the sample respectively to achieve non-equistress loading in the X, Y and Z directions, thereby accurately reproducing the stress state of underground coal and rock at depth, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the rock-coal-rock combination fracturing and permeability enhancement experimental data. The system is equipped with liquid Storage tanks and booster pumps can transfer liquid High pressure injection is performed on the rock-coal-rock combination sample to implement indirect fracturing operations, forming a fracture network to enhance permeability. At the same time, the system is connected with three directions of Gas cylinders can be used to inject methane gas into the sample to achieve multi-directional saturation treatment. In order to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of permeability and displacement effect, the system is equipped with high-precision flow meters and gas concentration detectors on each flow channel, which can monitor and record the flow in each direction before and after fracturing in real time. Flow rate changes and concentration fluctuations, thereby quantitatively analyzing liquid This multi-dimensional monitoring and acquisition method has a significant effect on the crack expansion and gas displacement process, further improving the reliability of the anti-permeability experiment and the accuracy of the experimental data.
