Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unconventional natural gas development, in particular to a deep coal seam waterless fracturing stimulation device and method based on magneto-rheological effect. BACKGROUND

[0002] Deep coal seam gas reservoirs have the characteristics of high ground stress, low permeability and deep burial. The application of traditional hydraulic fracturing technology in such reservoirs faces many challenges. First, hydraulic fracturing consumes a large amount of water, which limits its application in areas lacking water resources. Second, fracturing fluid can cause swelling of reservoir clay minerals and coal powder to block fractures, resulting in a short effective period of fracture network conduction. At the same time, the ground stress fluctuates dynamically with the mining process, and fixed-parameter hydraulic fracturing cannot be adapted in real time, which can easily cause uneven fracture propagation and single main fracture. In addition, existing waterless fracturing technologies such as CO2 fracturing, liquid nitrogen fracturing and sandblasting fracturing, although they solve the problem of water resource dependence, still cannot achieve real-time, active and accurate control of fracture propagation morphology.

[0007] Optionally, the magnetic field generator includes a double-layered housing and an electromagnetic coil. The electromagnetic coil is disposed inside the double-layered housing and is wound with Litz wire, and is insulated and cured using a vacuum impregnation epoxy resin process.

[0008] Optionally, the magnetic field generator is arranged in a ring shape and is sleeved outside the nozzle.

[0009] Optionally, the magnetic sensor is positioned close to the magnetic field generator.

[0010] Optionally, the flow channel of the nozzle is streamlined, and a polycrystalline diamond bushing is provided at the nozzle orifice.

[0011] Optionally, the temporary plugging ball injector includes a ball storage chamber, a drive unit, and a flow regulating valve.

[0012] Optionally, the deep coal seam waterless fracturing production enhancement device based on magnetorheological effect further includes a magnetorheological fluid storage tank and a high-pressure pump. The magnetorheological fluid storage tank is used to contain the magnetorheological fluid, and its inner wall is coated with an epoxy anti-corrosion coating.

[0013] This invention also provides a method for enhancing production in deep coal seams using waterless fracturing based on magnetorheological effect, applicable to a device for enhancing production in deep coal seams using waterless fracturing based on magnetorheological effect. The method for enhancing production in deep coal seams using waterless fracturing based on magnetorheological effect includes the following steps: Step S100: The magnetorheological fluid is pre-magnetized using the aforementioned fluid magnetization pretreatment tank; Step S200: The pre-magnetized magnetorheological fluid is transported to the fluid mixing tank, and the magnetically responsive proppant stored in the proppant storage tank is transported to the fluid mixing tank, so that the magnetically responsive proppant and the pre-magnetized magnetorheological fluid are mixed to obtain a mixed fluid; Step S300: The mixed fluid flows into the main pipeline, and when the mixed fluid flows through the nozzle, the magnetic field generator is driven to apply a pulsed magnetic field instantaneously to cause the magnetorheological fluid in the mixed fluid to undergo a phase change and form a high-energy solid jet. The high-energy solid jet is sprayed into the coal seam through the nozzle to form the main fracture. Step S400: Use the magnetic sensor to monitor the magnetic field changes and collect microseismic signals in real time, and use the microseismic monitoring instrument to monitor the three-dimensional expansion signal of the main crack in real time; Step S500: The control terminal analyzes the morphology of the main fracture and predicts its extension trend based on the monitoring results transmitted by the magnetic sensor and the microseismic monitor. When the analysis and prediction result of the control terminal indicates that the main fracture has a single morphology, the control terminal injects a temporary plugging ball into the main fracture to increase the coal seam pressure and act on the natural weak surface or stress shadow area in the coal seam to form a secondary fracture. When the analysis and prediction result of the control terminal indicates that the main fracture extends relatively close to the main fracture, the control terminal generates a non-uniform magnetic field to allow the magnetically responsive proppant flowing into the main pipeline to flow into the tip or branch of the main fracture.

[0014] In the technical solution of this invention, pre-magnetizing the magnetorheological fluid enhances its magnetic response activity. A pulsed magnetic field generated by the magnetic generator induces a phase change in the magnetorheological fluid within milliseconds, causing a dramatic increase in viscosity and forming a high-energy solid jet. This jet, ejected at high speed through the nozzle, impacts coal and rock with high kinetic energy, improving rock-breaking efficiency without requiring water. A temporary plugging ball injector injects a temporary plugging ball into the main fracture to form a secondary fracture. The magnetically responsive proppant adheres to the fracture surface under magnetic field adsorption, forming an effective layer that aids in branch expansion. Through the synergistic effect of the temporary plugging ball and the magnetically responsive proppant, active intervention in both "support" and "fracture creation" dimensions is achieved, resulting in a complex fracture network system with high conductivity, significantly improving the long-term conductivity of the fracture network. A "near-field + far-field" three-dimensional monitoring network, constructed by the magnetic sensor and the microseismic monitor, avoids the risk of misjudgment from single monitoring, ensuring precise and controllable fracture expansion.

[0022] Deep coalbed methane reservoirs are characterized by high in-situ stress, low permeability, and deep burial, posing numerous challenges to the application of traditional hydraulic fracturing technology in these reservoirs. Firstly, hydraulic fracturing consumes a huge amount of water, limiting its application in water-scarce regions. Secondly, fracturing fluids easily induce expansion of reservoir clay minerals and coal dust clogging of fractures, resulting in a short effective period of fracture network connectivity. Simultaneously, in-situ stress fluctuates dynamically with the mining process, making it impossible for hydraulic fracturing with fixed parameters to adapt in real time, easily leading to uneven fracture propagation and a single main fracture. Furthermore, while existing waterless fracturing technologies such as CO2 fracturing, liquid nitrogen fracturing, and sandblasting fracturing have solved the water resource dependence problem, they still cannot achieve real-time, proactive, and precise control over fracture propagation morphology.

[0023] In view of this, the present invention provides a deep coal seam waterless fracturing and production enhancement device 100 based on magnetorheological effect. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides an embodiment of a deep coal seam waterless fracturing and production enhancement device 100 based on magnetorheological effect.

The monitoring components include a magnetic sensor 8 and a microseismic monitor 9. The magnetic sensor 8 is installed on the outer wall of the horizontal casing. The system is used to monitor changes in the magnetic field and collect microseismic signals. The microseismic monitoring instrument 9 is located inside the horizontal sleeve and is used to monitor the three-dimensional expansion signal of the main crack 210. The control terminal 10 is electrically connected to the temporary plugging ball injector 7, the magnetic field generator 5, and the monitoring component. It is used to analyze the morphology of the main crack 210 and predict the extension trend of the main crack 210 based on the monitoring results of the monitoring component, and to control the working state of the temporary plugging ball injector 7 or the magnetic field generator 5 based on the analysis and prediction results.

[0025] In this invention, pre-magnetizing the magnetorheological fluid enhances its magnetic response activity. A pulsed magnetic field generated by the magnetic generator induces a phase change in the magnetorheological fluid within milliseconds, causing a dramatic increase in viscosity and forming a high-energy solid jet. This jet, ejected at high speed by the nozzle 6, impacts coal and rock with high kinetic energy, improving rock-breaking efficiency without requiring water. A temporary plugging ball is injected into the main fracture 210 via the temporary plugging ball injector 7 to form a secondary fracture 220. The magnetically responsive proppant 500 adheres to the fracture surface under magnetic field adsorption, effectively spreading the proppant and aiding in branch expansion. Through the synergistic effect of the temporary plugging ball and the magnetically responsive proppant 500, active intervention in both "support" and "fracture creation" dimensions is achieved, resulting in a complex fracture network system with high conductivity, significantly improving the long-term conductivity of the fracture network. A near-field + far-field three-dimensional monitoring network, constructed by the magnetic sensor 8 and the microseismic monitor 9, avoids the risk of misjudgment from single monitoring, ensuring precise and controllable fracture expansion.

[0049] This invention also provides a method for enhancing production in deep coal seams using waterless fracturing based on magnetorheological effects, applicable to the aforementioned device for enhancing production in deep coal seams using waterless fracturing based on magnetorheological effects. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The method for enhancing production in deep coal seams using waterless fracturing based on magnetorheological effects includes the following steps: Step S100: The magnetorheological fluid is pre-magnetized using the fluid magnetization pretreatment tank.

[0050] In this step, magnetorheological fluid is injected into the magnetorheological fluid storage tank, and the tank agitator is activated during this process to ensure uniform mixing of the fluid. The high-pressure pump is then started to pump the magnetorheological fluid from the storage tank to the fluid magnetization pretreatment tank for pre-magnetization treatment. The pre-magnetization magnetic field strength is set to 0.5T, and the pretreatment time is 30 minutes, which allows the magnetic particles to be uniformly dispersed and initially oriented, thereby improving their downhole magnetic response activity.

[0051] It should be noted that before step S100, a sealing test is performed, that is, nitrogen is used to pressurize the deep coal seam waterless fracturing production enhancement device based on magnetorheological effect to 1.2 times the rated working pressure for a pressure holding test, and soapy water is used to check for leaks to ensure that there are no leaks at all connections under high pressure.

[0052] Step S200: The pre-magnetized magnetorheological fluid is transported to the fluid mixing tank, and the magnetically responsive proppant stored in the proppant storage tank is transported to the fluid mixing tank, so that the magnetically responsive proppant and the pre-magnetized magnetorheological fluid are mixed to obtain a mixed fluid.

[0053] Step S300: The mixed fluid flows into the main pipeline, and as the mixed fluid flows through the nozzle, the magnetic field generator is driven to instantaneously apply a pulsed magnetic field (magnetic field line 400 as shown). Figure 2As shown, the magnetorheological fluid in the mixed fluid undergoes a phase change to form a high-energy solid jet, and the high-energy solid jet is sprayed into the coal seam through the nozzle to form the main fracture.

[0054] In this step, the mixed fluid enters the deep coal seam through the main pipeline. When the fluid flows through the nozzle, the magnetic field generator instantaneously applies a high-intensity pulsed magnetic field of 0.5-1.5T with an output frequency of 1-5Hz. At this time, the magnetorheological fluid undergoes a phase change within milliseconds, and its viscosity increases dramatically to form a high-energy solid jet, which is ejected at high speed from the nozzle orifice of the nozzle, impacting the coal and rock with high kinetic energy, thereby more efficiently opening the initial main fracture in the high-stress coal seam.

[0055] Step S400: Use the magnetic sensor to monitor the magnetic field change and collect microseismic signals in real time, and use the microseismic monitoring instrument to monitor the three-dimensional expansion signal of the main crack in real time.

[0056] In this step, magnetic sensors deployed downhole monitor and collect nearby microseismic and magnetic field data in real time. At the same time, a microseismic monitoring instrument fixed to the horizontal inner wall of the casing monitors the three-dimensional propagation signal of far-field cracks with high precision.

[0057] Step S500: The control terminal analyzes the morphology of the main fracture and predicts its extension trend based on the monitoring results transmitted by the magnetic sensor and the microseismic monitor. When the analysis and prediction result of the control terminal indicates that the main fracture has a single morphology, the control terminal injects a temporary plugging ball into the main fracture to increase the coal seam pressure and act on the natural weak surface or stress shadow area in the coal seam to form a secondary fracture. When the analysis and prediction result of the control terminal indicates that the main fracture extends relatively close to the main fracture, the control terminal generates a non-uniform magnetic field to allow the magnetically responsive proppant flowing into the main pipeline to flow into the tip or branch of the main fracture.

[0058] In this step, if the main fracture has a uniform morphology, the temporary plugging ball injector injects a batch of temporary plugging balls of a predetermined particle size into the main fracture. These balls, carried by the fluid, migrate to the main fracture inlet and form an effective bridge plug, causing an increase in bottom hole pressure. This forces subsequent energy to be redirected to natural weak surfaces or stress-shadowed areas in the coal and rock, thereby generating new branch fractures, i.e., secondary fractures. Alternatively, if the main fracture extends relatively close together, the current in the coils of each magnetic field generator is controlled to construct a non-uniform magnetic field. This induces the subsequently injected magnetically responsive proppant to form a more effective distribution in specific areas within the main fracture, such as the fracture tip or branches, rather than being randomly distributed, thus greatly optimizing propping efficiency.

[0059] It should be noted that the above steps S400 and S500 can be repeated to achieve a step-by-step expansion of "main seam - branch - secondary branch", continuously enriching and complicating the crack network, and finally forming a complex three-dimensional crack network.

[0060] It should also be noted that during the entire operation, the pressure relief valve can be used to finely adjust the operating pressure to prevent pressure runaway; and once an extreme anomaly such as pipeline rupture or sudden pressure drop is detected, the control terminal will instantly trigger the emergency shut-off valve to completely cut off the fluid supply within 1 second to ensure operational safety.

[0061] In addition, after the fracturing operation is completed, the control terminal shuts down the high-pressure pump and the temporary plugging ball injector, stops the magnetic field output, records the total operation time, waits for the temporary plugging ball to completely degrade, and switches to the drainage state after the gas leak alarm has no alarm signal, starts the coalbed methane gathering and transportation system, and extracts the deep coalbed methane into the gas storage tank.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
