TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas engineering, in particular to a coalbed methane well full life cycle production experimental evaluation system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important unconventional natural gas resource, the development efficiency of coalbed methane directly affects the realization of energy supply and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Coalbed methane mainly exists in the form of adsorption (80%-95% in adsorbed state) on the surface of coal matrix. Its production process is actually a depletion type mining, which gradually expands the desorption range by reducing the bottom hole flowing pressure through drainage, forming a pressure drop funnel, and causing a large amount of methane to desorb. At this stage, the drainage rate and the reservoir pressure decline rate need to be accurately matched. If the pressure drops too fast, it will cause coal reservoir sensitivity damage, and "water lock" and "gas lock" will occur, increasing the production of coal powder; if it is too slow, it will prolong the production cycle and increase the drainage cost.
[0003] As the drainage proceeds, multiple problems gradually appear. The permeability decreases, the effective stress dominates due to long-term pressure reduction, and the permeability continues to decline, resulting in rapid production decline in the later stage. Desorption hysteresis effect occurs, and the desorption in the low pressure area is not complete, with residual adsorbed gas amount of 30%-50%. Energy depletion, when the reservoir pressure is too low, the gas transport driving force is insufficient. At this time, CO2 injection huff and puff or surfactant enhanced oil recovery technology emerges as the times require.
[0004] The drainage system of coalbed methane production and gas injection energy recovery enhancement technology are mostly determined based on field engineering experience, which is high in cost, long in cycle, high in cost, and lacks effective indoor experimental simulation evaluation support. In view of this, the present application aims to establish a coalbed methane well full life cycle production experimental evaluation system and method, in order to provide scientific basis for optimizing production process, reducing production cost, determining reasonable drainage system and improving recovery efficiency, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of China's coalbed methane industry, promoting the sustainable development of the industry, and helping to realize the energy structure transformation and carbon emission reduction target.

[0023] wherein, Vf is the free space volume of the sample tank, i.e. the sample tank space volume excluding coal, excluding the pore volume of coal;
[0024] Given the sample tank pressure, the reference tank pre-charge pressure determination method is used to calculate x according to the following formula,
[0025]
[0026] Since x is a constant value, if any pre-charge pressure value is given, the value of Vp can be calculated

[0102] 4. Drainage and pressure reduction, according to step 5, different volumes of measuring tanks are selected in turn to measure the produced gas, and the 0.25 L and 0.5 L measuring tanks are mainly used in the early stage when the gas amount is low and the gas is mainly produced by constant pressure drainage; after reaching the sensitive desorption pressure, a large amount of gas is desorbed, and the gas is mainly produced by constant volume drainage, and the 0.5 L and 1 L measuring tanks are mainly used in this stage; at the same time, the room temperature, atmospheric pressure, experimental pressure and drainage weight at each point are recorded, and the gas amount, recovery rate and liquid flowback rate are measured according to formula 14 and formula 15, and the variation graphs of the gas amount, recovery rate and liquid flowback rate with desorption pressure and time are drawn;
[0103] The gas recovery rate of coalbed methane is first small and then large, indicating that the gas desorption is first slow and then fast. The initial pressure drop is large and the gas production is low. The recovery rate is only 3% when the pressure is reduced to 10 MPa. In the middle and late stages, the gas is rapidly desorbed, and the recovery rate is 40% when the pressure is reduced to 2 MPa. Thereafter, the gas production rapidly increases. It can be known that the actual sensitive desorption pressure of the coal seam of the well is 2 MPa, which is slightly lower than the 2.87 MPa calculated by the isothermal adsorption experiment. It is speculated that it is caused by the water in the coal seam. The presence of a large amount of water hinders the production of coalbed methane, resulting in a decrease in the actual sensitive desorption pressure. The pressure drop recovery time is long below 2 MPa. According to the field experience, the coalbed methane depletion pressure is 1 MPa. The final recovery rate is 69.1% when the pressure is reduced to 1.09 MPa. The liquid flowback rate presents a rule of first fast and then slow. The liquid output accounts for 60% of the total liquid output in the initial stage (corresponding to a gas desorption rate of 10%). In the later stage, it gradually stabilizes. The flowback rate is finally 18.5% (the coalbed methane drainage and gas pressure production rule is shown in Figure 2
[0104] 5. CO2 injection to improve gas recovery rate experiment. According to the actual situation on site, the injection pressure is slightly higher than the formation pressure. The pressure in the sample tank after adsorption equilibrium is 16 MPa. According to formula 9, the pre-injection pressure is about 30 MPa. According to the method of step 6, the pressure is increased to 30 MPa after water injection and gas discharge. The pressure change of the sample tank (the pressure change curve in the sample tank after CO2 injection is shown in Figure 3 ) is recorded. With the adsorption of CO2 by coal, the pressure in the sample tank first decreases greatly, and then tends to be stable after 300 h. The final stable pressure is 15.55 MPa.

[0110] After the pressure in the sample tank is stable, the amount of gas in the sample tank can be measured according to the gas state equation. The calculation results are shown in Table 3. It can be known that the CO2 injection amount is 1.43 times the pore volume of coal, and the volume ratio of CO2 to CH4 is 5.22.
[0111] Table 3 Amount of gas in the sample tank after CO2 injection

[0113] The pressure is reduced and the gas is drained, the gas amount is measured and the gas sample is collected, and then the pressure is continuously reduced and desorbed until the dry pressure is 1 MPa, and the gas amount of each component at each pressure point is calculated according to the formulae 16-18. The results show that the CO2 injection gas concentration "butterfly type" change rule, that is, with the desorption, the CH4 concentration first increases and then decreases, the CO2 concentration first decreases and then increases, the inflection point is 6.3 MPa (the CO2 injection desorption gas concentration change rule is shown in Figure 4 ), indicating the change of the gas occurrence state, that is, the CO2 adsorption gas begins to desorb, and the CH4 adsorption gas desorbs to the maximum and then begins to decrease. After 35 days of drainage and production, the methane recovery rate is increased by 27.8%, and the CO2 recovery rate is 36.3%, most of the CO2 is sealed in the coal, which also indicates that the CO2 displacement CH4 effect is good, and the coal rock has strong CO2 sealing capacity. The liquid flowback rate is only increased by 1.26%, and the increase amplitude is low (the CO2 injection desorption gas production change rule is shown in Figure 5 ).
[0114] The desorption pressure change curve of the whole CO2 injection and huff and puff process is shown in Figure 6 , and the pressure drop recovery curve shows that the pressure is quickly recovered in the initial desorption stage, the pressure fluctuation is small, and the gas production is low, and in this stage, the free gas release is mainly, and after 8 MPa, the pressure drop recovery curve begins to be long, and the gas production begins to increase, indicating that the adsorbed gas begins to be released in large amount.
