However, traditional oil-rich coal mining and utilization methods, such as surface gasification and pyrolysis, have problems such as high cost, complex process and environmental pollution, which restrict the efficient development and utilization of oil-rich coal resources. In-situ pyrolysis technology, as a potential solution, directly processes coal seams underground, reducing the construction and operation costs of surface facilities and reducing environmental pollution. This technology uses a heat carrier to perform pyrolysis reactions in the underground coal seam, converting organic matter in the coal seam into gaseous or liquid products, thereby achieving efficient energy utilization. However, traditional coal gasification and pyrolysis technologies, while improving energy utilization efficiency, are often limited by uneven underground temperatures, difficult gas flow control, and low long-distance heat transfer efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The following embodiments given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings further illustrate the application.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-2As shown, a device for in-situ pyrolysis of oil-rich coal and pressure relief extraction, comprising: a coil heating device 8 arranged in the vertical hole of the injection well 6, for heating the heat-carrying gas to high temperature.
[0037] Downhole packers 11 arranged in the horizontal hole of the injection well 6 and movable in the horizontal hole in a predetermined direction, two of the downhole packers 11 are arranged in a spaced manner, and the two downhole packers 11 can be kept in close contact with the well wall when the gas injection reaches a certain pressure, so that a sealed environment is formed between the two packers 11 to prevent heat leakage, and the two downhole packers 11 are fixedly connected by an iron rod.
[0038] Gas injection and pressure device 2 arranged on the ground surface of the injection well 6, the first output port 21 of the gas injection and pressure device 2 is connected with the gas inlet of the coil heating device 8 through the gas injection pipeline 9 between the first packers and the pyrolysis zone, and the gas outlet of the coil heating device 8 is connected with the pyrolysis zone between the two downhole packers 11 through the gas injection pipeline 10 between the second packers; the second output port 22 of the gas injection and pressure device 2 is connected with the inside of the two downhole packers 11 through the gas injection pipeline 5 inside the packers; the pipeline of the first output port 21 of the gas injection and pressure device 2 is provided with a first gas injection switch and a pressure monitoring component 3, and the pipeline of the second output port 22 of the gas injection and pressure device 2 is provided with a second gas injection switch and a pressure monitoring component 7, which are used to control the gas supply of the gas injection and pressure device 2 and detect the pressure in the pipeline.
[0039] For example, the gas injection switch of the present application can adopt a control valve, and the pressure monitoring component can adopt a pressure sensor. By using a control valve and a pressure sensor, the supply amount and pressure of high-pressure gas can be adjusted in real time, and the pressure change in the pipeline can be monitored in real time to prevent overpressure or underpressure.
[0040] The connection of the gas injection + pressure device 2 and the pyrolysis zone gas injection pipeline 9 between the first packers ensures the stable supply of heat-carrying gas, and the pressure monitoring device can monitor the internal pressure of the pipeline in real time to ensure the safety and controllability of the pyrolysis process. The gas injection and pressure device 2 delivers heat-carrying gas to the underground through the pyrolysis zone gas injection pipeline 9 between the first packers, and the pressure monitoring device monitors the pressure change during the gas delivery process to prevent overpressure or underpressure. Therefore, the safety and efficiency of the pyrolysis process can be ensured.
[0041] The oil and gas collection assembly is arranged on the ground of the wellhead of the production well, and comprises a pumping unit 16 and an oil and gas separation device 17 connected with the pumping unit 16, wherein the pumping unit 16 collects the pyrolysis oil and gas product and transmits the pyrolysis oil and gas product to the oil and gas separation device 17 for heat carrier gas separation.
[0042] The embodiment uniformly transmits heat to the coal seam in all directions through the horizontal hole of the injection well 6, and realizes the overall pyrolysis of the coal seam. The cooperation of the downhole packer 11 and the inflatable mushroom 21 can ensure the sealing of the pyrolysis area, reduce heat loss, and improve the pyrolysis efficiency. The segmented and cyclic stewing well pyrolysis makes the coal seam pyrolysis more uniform, and the pressure relief extraction technology effectively recovers the pyrolysis products and gas, and improves the utilization efficiency of oil-rich coal.
[0043] In one embodiment, the coil heating device 8 is provided with an isolation baffle 81 for increasing the flow path and residence time of the heat carrier gas in the heating area, so that the heat carrier gas can be fully heated to the target temperature. The isolation baffle 81 is in the form of an arch structure and is fixed on the inner wall of the coil heating device 8 in a staggered manner.
[0044] The coil heating device 8 is provided with a coil mounting shaft, and the outer surface of the coil mounting shaft is surrounded by a heating coil 82. The isolation baffle 81 is distributed around the heating coil 82 to reduce heat loss.
[0045] The application reduces heat loss by providing an isolation baffle 81 around the heating coil 82, which cooperates with the heating coil 82 to reduce heat loss. The design of the isolation baffle 81 can effectively reduce heat loss and improve heating efficiency. The isolation baffle 81 prevents heat around the heating assembly from dissipating to the external environment, so that the temperature of the heat carrier gas in the heating area can quickly reach the target temperature. Thus, the pyrolysis efficiency can be significantly improved, and the energy consumption can be reduced.
[0046] In one embodiment, the downhole packer 11 is provided with an inflatable mushroom 21, and the material of the inflatable mushroom 21 is a high-temperature-resistant material that can be deformed and expanded under high-pressure gas. After the input gas generates high pressure, the packer is tightly attached to the well wall to form a sealing structure, thereby preventing heat loss of the gas in the pyrolysis area.
[0047] By using a high-temperature-resistant material that can be deformed and expanded under high-pressure gas conditions for the inflatable mushroom 21, and matching it with a high-temperature movable sealing assembly, a sealing structure is formed. The selection and design of the high-temperature-resistant material ensure the stability and reliability of the sealing assembly in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. The high-temperature-resistant material expands under the action of high-pressure gas, tightly adheres to the well wall, and forms an effective seal to prevent heat and gas leakage. This allows the downhole packer 11 to significantly improve the sealing effect of the pyrolysis region, reduce heat loss, and improve pyrolysis efficiency.
[0048] It should be noted that the inflatable mushroom 21 has a multi-layer structure design and is used in cooperation with the downhole packer 11 to adaptively seal with the hole diameter. The multi-layer structure design can adapt to changes in different hole diameters, ensuring good sealing effect in any situation. The multi-layer structure design of the inflatable mushroom 21 allows it to automatically adjust the sealing state under the action of high-pressure gas according to the hole diameter, ensuring the sealing of the pyrolysis region. This effectively prevents heat and gas leakage and improves pyrolysis efficiency.
[0049] Participation Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the inflatable mushroom 21 is not inflated, the downhole packer 11 is not sealed with the inner wall of the shaft. At this time, the downhole packer 11 can move inside the shaft. When the inflatable mushroom 21 is inflated, it expands under the action of high-pressure gas, causing the downhole packer 11 to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the shaft, forming an effective seal to prevent heat and gas leakage.
[0050] In one embodiment, the injection well 6 is also provided with a running cable 1 connected to the downhole packer 11 through a cable 4, which is used to lower and move the downhole packer 11 to different pyrolysis regions.
[0051] It should be noted that the contact surface between the downhole packer 11 and the well wall is lubricated during movement. Lubrication can reduce friction between the sealing assembly and the well wall, ensuring smoothness and stability during movement. By applying high-temperature-resistant lubricant to the contact surface between the high-temperature movable sealing assembly and the well wall, the moving resistance is reduced, and the sealing assembly is prevented from being damaged due to friction during movement. Lubrication can improve the service life of the high-temperature movable sealing assembly and reduce maintenance costs.
