Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to CO2 geological storage monitoring technology, in particular to a coal body swelling strain calculation method based on optical fiber sensor and gas injection. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing deep coal gas storage safety monitoring technology has defects such as passivity and hysteresis, mainly focuses on injection stage monitoring, and the swelling deformation test mostly uses the method of sticking strain gauges on the local coal sample, lacking long-term dynamic full-strain field monitoring after gas injection. These methods usually take a single sampling point or a limited area as the monitoring object, and obtain local strain or pressure data by sticking strain gauges on the surface of the coal sample or arranging pressure sensors in the gas injection path. In addition, the existing experiments mostly focus on short-term monitoring in the injection stage, and although the triaxial stress simulation and gas injection means can partially restore the formation conditions, they lack systematic and continuous monitoring capability for the long-term and full-field dynamic strain response of the medium after gas injection.

[0003] The traditional monitoring method is limited by the spatial coverage range and single sampling of point sensors, and it is difficult to capture the full-field strain distribution and non-uniform deformation characteristics of the medium induced by gas injection. The strain gauge can only reflect the local response near the sticking point and cannot realize high-resolution and full-field continuous strain monitoring; while the pressure sensor can monitor the change of pore pressure, but it cannot directly relate to the swelling strain distribution of the medium. Therefore, the distributed optical fiber sensing technology takes optical fiber as the carrier and realizes signal acquisition and transmission through optical wave sensing, which can track the deformation response of the rock in real time and has the advantages of permanent deployment, real-time monitoring and low cost. This technology can accurately measure the gas plume migration strain signal, correlate the migration rate, quantify the deformation area, and monitor the integrity of the cap rock and wellbore and gas leakage at the same time. Therefore, studying the gas-coal-optical fiber interaction mechanism and response characteristics is the key foundation for monitoring and evaluation of the whole process of deep coal gas injection, migration and storage.
