Description

[0002] Underground coal gasification technology has significant environmental, safety, economic, and social value, and is one of the important directions for promoting the sustainable development of the coal industry and the transformation of the energy structure. Underground coal gasification (UCG) refers to the controlled combustion and gasification of underground coal. Through the thermal and chemical processes of coal, usable gaseous energy such as hydrogen and methane is produced, while pollutants such as coal gangue and carbon dioxide are left underground, further improving the extraction and utilization rate of coal resources.

[0003] Due to the relatively complex geological conditions of deep coal seams, including factors such as seam thickness, occurrence state, and coal quality, the reactions generated during gasification are difficult to fully control. This makes it difficult to control the combustion direction of underground coal gasification, affecting the recovery rate of deep underground coal gasification.

[0004] Existing underground coal gasification well network designs typically employ development methods such as "single production and single injection" or horizontal well networks to maximize coalbed methane production from coal combustion. These methods only consider how to ensure complete coal combustion, neglecting the recovery efficiency of the generated gas. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Figure 1 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for determining the injection-production well network for underground coal gasification. This embodiment is applicable to the determination of the injection-production well network for underground coal gasification. The method can be executed by a device for determining the injection-production well network for underground coal gasification. This device can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in any electronic device with network communication and computing capabilities.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the underground coal gasification injection-production well network includes:

[0029] S110. Determine the injection well site based on the gasification control area of ​​the target reservoir development body, and determine the wellbore structure based on the injection conditions and coal seam parameters corresponding to the gasification control area. The gasification control area represents the area where coal undergoes underground combustion and gasification.

[0030] In this embodiment of the application, the target reservoir development body refers to the development unit in the target reservoir to be developed. The gasification control area typically includes natural gas storage tanks, gasification equipment and control systems, etc., and is an area used for coal combustion gasification and for monitoring and controlling the combustion gasification process.

[0031] In practical applications, the target reservoir development body can be determined by obtaining the boundary of the oil and gas reservoir through seismic data, obtaining the main development layer of the oil and gas reservoir based on the exploration well parameters, and establishing the largest geometric body within the main development layer as the target reservoir development body.

[0032] It should be noted that the injection well site should be selected with consideration of the degree of utilization of deep coal combustion and gasification, and the deep coal combustion and gasification is a prerequisite for improving the utilization rate.

[0033] In the deep underground coal gasification process, the combustion of coal is the driving force of the gasification reaction, which is the process of converting coal into combustible gases. Under normal circumstances, underground coal reacts with injected gasifying agents (such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, or oxygen) to produce combustible gases such as hydrogen monoxide and hydrogen. These combustible gases are then transported to a certain area for extraction through underground reservoir fractures or channels.

[0034] The optimal injection conditions are determined by the deep coal combustion and gasification reaction, and the wellbore structure is determined based on the injection conditions and coal seam parameters.

[0035] As an optional but not limited implementation, the gasification control region of the target reservoir development body is determined, including:

[0036] A geological model of the target reservoir development body is determined, and data analysis is performed based on the geological model to determine the gasification control zone in the target reservoir development body; the geological model includes the porosity, permeability and saturation of the target reservoir development body.

[0037] In this embodiment, relevant data on deep coal reservoirs are collected and organized, including but not limited to seismic data and well parameters. Through analysis of this data, the reservoir boundaries, the main development layers, and the largest geometric body within the main development layers are identified as the target reservoir development body.

[0038] The geological model of the target reservoir development body can be determined by collecting and organizing geological observation data, seismic data, exploration well data, etc. to obtain the porosity, permeability and saturation of the target reservoir development body, and constructing a three-dimensional or two-dimensional model of the target reservoir development body using mathematical and physical theories or methods.

[0039] The geological model includes the porosity, permeability, and saturation of the target reservoir development body. By using the porosity, permeability, and saturation data in the geological model of the target reservoir development body, more suitable areas can be selected for underground coal combustion.

[0040] Higher porosity facilitates air permeation and oxygen supply, providing better conditions for coal combustion and promoting the combustion reaction. Higher permeability helps gas flow and heat transfer, enabling more uniform and continuous combustion, while also facilitating the emission of combustion products. Water saturation affects the combustion characteristics of coal; high water saturation may inhibit combustion and reduce efficiency, while lower saturation is more conducive to combustion.

[0041] Based on data analysis using the geological model of the target reservoir development body, areas with high coal quality and density, high combustion efficiency, and low combustion risk are selected as gasification control zones for the target reservoir development body. Simultaneously, the connectivity and stability of the selected areas must be considered to ensure the smooth progress of the underground coal combustion and gasification process.

[0042] As an optional but not limited implementation, the injection well site is determined based on the gasification control zone of the target reservoir development body, including:

[0043] The injection well site is determined based on the center point of the gasification control zone of the target reservoir development body.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the injection well site should be selected as the center point or key point of the gasification control area in order to achieve effective control over the entire target reservoir development body area.

[0045] As an optional but not limited implementation, the wellbore structure of the injection well is determined based on the injection conditions and coal seam parameters corresponding to the gasification control zone, including:

[0046] Combustion efficiency simulation is performed on the gasification control region to determine the injection conditions corresponding to the gasification control region;

[0047] The wellbore structure of the injection well is determined based on the injection conditions and coal seam parameters.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, combustion efficiency is simulated in a selected gasification control area using combustion simulation software or algorithms, or the influence of various factors on combustion efficiency during underground coal combustion is studied by establishing mathematical models and numerical simulation methods.

[0049] Specifically, during the combustion efficiency simulation of the selected gasification control area, the impact of various factors on combustion efficiency was assessed by introducing different injection conditions. After multiple combustion efficiency simulations and optimizations, the optimal injection conditions were determined, enabling the underground coal resources in the gasification control area to complete the full combustion process in the shortest possible time.

[0050] Among them, the wellbore structure of the injection well can improve the recovery rate of deep underground coal gasification, and determining a suitable wellbore structure can support efficient coal combustion and generated gas collection.

[0051] The wellbore structure is determined based on coal seam parameters and injection conditions. Coal seam parameters directly determine the wellbore structure, while injection conditions have a long-term impact on it.

[0052] As an optional but not limited implementation, the coal seam parameters include at least one of the following: coal seam thickness, coal seam stability, coal seam pressure, and coal seam temperature. The injection conditions refer to the injection pressure, injection rate, and injection gas composition for the deep underground coal in the gasification control area to complete combustion in the shortest time. The injection well structure includes the depth, support, well material, and casing layers of the injection well.

[0053] Specifically, coal seam parameters and injection conditions jointly influence the wellbore structure. Coal seam thickness affects the wellbore depth; a thicker coal seam requires a deeper wellbore to ensure the gasifying agent can fully penetrate the coal seam and promote combustion and gasification reactions in deeper coal layers. Coal seam stability affects the wellbore's support; less stable coal seams require a wellbore structure with stronger support capabilities.

[0054] In addition, the composition of the injected gas, the injection pressure, and the injection temperature have a significant impact on the selection and service life of the injection well shaft material. For example, high-temperature and high-pressure injection conditions require the injection well shaft material to have good high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0055] Secondly, the casing layer is closely related to factors such as coal seam pressure and rock mechanical properties. A wellbore structure with a reasonable casing layer can effectively prevent formation fracturing and formation fracturing at the casing, ensuring the integrity and safety of the wellbore structure.

[0056] S120. Determine the concentration area and enrichment area of ​​the preset generated gas migration path, and determine the production well site based on the preset generated gas migration path concentration area and enrichment area; the injection well of the injection well site and the production well of the production well site are connected through a reservoir channel so that the preset generated gas flows to the production well.

[0057] In this embodiment, after deep underground coal combustion and gasification at the injection well site, a predetermined generated gas is obtained. This generated gas migrates and accumulates in fractures or pores within the reservoir. Determining the production well site based on the migration path concentration area and enrichment area of ​​the predetermined generated gas can effectively improve the recovery rate of the predetermined generated gas.

[0058] As an optional but not limited implementation, the predetermined migration path concentration region and enrichment region of the generated gas are determined, including:

[0059] The migration direction of the preset generated gas is determined based on the flow parameters of the preset generated gas under the action of pressure and temperature fields; the flow parameters include the seepage velocity and seepage flow rate of the preset generated gas.

[0060] Based on the migration direction, the injection well site, and the topographic parameters of the target reservoir development body, the concentration and enrichment areas of the preset generated gas migration path are determined by simulation software and algorithms; the injection well site is the starting point of the preset generated gas migration path, and the topographic parameters represent the topographic height of the target reservoir development body.

[0061] In this embodiment of the application, in deep coal combustion gasification, the migration of the pre-generated gas is mainly based on the flow parameters under the action of the pressure field and the temperature field, which are the seepage velocity of the pre-generated gas under the action of the pressure field and the seepage flow rate of the pre-generated gas under the action of the temperature field, respectively.

[0062] Specifically, the seepage velocity of the pre-generated gas under the action of the pressure field is calculated using the following formula:

[0063]

[0064] V is the preset seepage velocity of the generated gas, in m / s; k is the gas permeability coefficient, in m. 2 ΔP / Δx is the ratio of the pressure difference along the flow direction to the length, i.e., the pressure gradient, in Pa / m.

[0065] Specifically, the seepage flow rate of the pre-generated gas under the influence of the temperature field is calculated using the following formula:

[0066] Q = hAΔT;

[0067] Where Q is the preset percolation flow rate of the generated gas, in W; h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, in W / (m²·K); and A is the heat transfer area, in m². 2 ΔT is the temperature difference, in K.

[0068] Based on the seepage velocity of the pre-defined generated gas under the influence of the pressure field and the seepage flow rate of the pre-defined generated gas under the influence of the temperature field, the migration law or migration direction of the pre-defined generated gas is obtained. Based on the migration direction, the location information of the injection well site, and the topographic parameters of the target reservoir development body, the simulation results of the pre-defined generated gas migration process are determined using gas migration simulation software and algorithms. Through analysis of the simulation results, the concentrated and enriched areas of the pre-defined generated gas migration path within the target reservoir development body are identified.

[0069] As an optional but not limited implementation, the production well site is determined based on the preset migration path concentration area and enrichment area of ​​the generated gas, including:

[0070] When there is a convergence point in the concentrated area of ​​the preset generated gas migration path, the production well site is determined at the convergence point, and the convergence point represents the first confluence point in the concentrated area of ​​the preset generated gas migration path.

[0071] When the preset generated gas concentration in the enriched region exceeds the concentration threshold, a production well site is determined in the enriched region.

[0072] In this embodiment, it is understood that generated gas can be effectively collected in areas where the predetermined generated gas migration path is concentrated. Selecting production well sites within these concentrated migration path areas ensures that the predetermined generated gas can flow smoothly to the production wells. Simultaneously, due to the low-pressure environment of the production wells, a significant pressure gradient can be formed with the high-pressure environment surrounding the injection wells, controlling the subsequent fluid migration direction of the predetermined generated gas and thus improving collection efficiency. Selecting production well sites within areas rich in the predetermined generated gas ensures that each production well can collect a high concentration of the predetermined generated gas, thereby improving the recovery rate.

[0073] Specifically, if there is significant convergence along the predetermined gas migration path, production well sites can be deployed at the convergence points based on well spacing constraints. This allows for direct and effective extraction of the gas at these concentrated migration points, and the pressure gradient further controls the migration direction and extraction efficiency of the predetermined gas, thereby improving extraction efficiency. Furthermore, when enriched areas are concentrated and large in scale, enriched areas with predetermined gas concentrations exceeding a certain threshold are selected, and multiple production well sites are deployed within or around these areas to fully utilize the enriched resources and improve recovery rates.

[0074] See Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the flow field in deep underground coal gasification. The diagram includes one injection well and two production wells (harvesting wells). Centered on the injection well, the area can be divided into combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis zones. Based on the seepage velocity of the pre-generated gas under the influence of the pressure field and the seepage flow rate under the influence of the temperature field, the migration direction and pattern of the pre-generated gas are obtained. Under the influence of the temperature field formed by coal combustion near the injection wellhead, the pre-generated gas migrates outwards along the direction of the maximum geothermal gradient. The streamline direction indicates that the pre-generated gas migrates from the combustion center outwards. Due to the dip angle of the target reservoir development body, when the temperature gradient is not significant, the pressure gradient controls the migration direction of the pre-generated gas, causing it to migrate from lower elevation areas (southern part) to higher elevation areas (northern part).

[0075] S130. Based on the injection well locations, injection well structure, and production well locations, determine the distribution of the coal underground gasification injection-production well network in the target reservoir development body.

[0076] In this embodiment, the underground coal gasification injection-production well network is determined by the injection well site, the injection well structure, and the production well site, so that the underground coal gasification injection-production well network can improve the underground combustion and gasification efficiency of coal, while also improving the collection efficiency and recovery rate.

[0077] See Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the distribution of injection and production wells for deep underground coal gasification. The diagram includes one injection well and two production wells (collection wells), which is a vertical well structure of "one injection and multiple collection". The bottoms of the injection and production wells are connected by channels in gray, so that the pre-generated gas can be transported to the production wells through the channels.

[0078] The technical solution of this invention, by selecting suitable injection well sites, injection well structure and production well sites, realizes the deployment of underground coal gasification injection and production well network, improves coal combustion efficiency, and presets the generated gas collection efficiency and recovery rate.
