Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep mine water reinjection technology, and relates to a simulation test device, specifically a simulation test device and method for deep mine water reinjection under high temperature and high pressure conditions. Background Technology
[0002] During coal mining, groundwater is disturbed by mining operations, causing it to flow into the working face, roadways, and goaf along water-conducting fracture zones, forming mine water. In the aquifer stage, groundwater undergoes long-term water-rock interaction with the surrounding rock. During the coal mining stage, the mine water continues to interact with broken coal and rock, while also being affected by human factors such as coal mining machinery, ultimately resulting in mine water containing numerous ions, suspended solids, and other components.
[0003] In western my country's mining areas, due to the influence of original strata and coal seam deposition, groundwater and mine water often exhibit high salinity, with total dissolved solids in mine water generally exceeding 1000 mg / L, and reaching as high as 20000 mg / L. To prevent the direct discharge of high-salinity mine water from exacerbating soil salinization in western China, desalination treatment is generally performed. However, this method is costly and faces the challenge of disposing of even higher salinity tailwater. Therefore, based on research and demonstration practices by industry experts, a deep reinjection technology for high-salinity mine water has been proposed. This involves reinjecting high-salinity mine water into a deep aquifer at a depth of approximately 2000 meters for storage. This addresses the problem of high-salinity mine water treatment while simultaneously replenishing water resources lost due to mining. With increased mine water reinjection depth, temperatures and pressures rise compared to shallower layers, presenting unprecedented challenges. Under these high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, questions remain regarding the potential for blockage in the reinjection layer and how to select parameters such as reinjection pressure to avoid blockage. Furthermore, direct deep reinjection in the field carries significant unknown risks and incurred prohibitive costs for on-site testing. Therefore, conducting indoor physical simulations before deep reinjection is crucial. Simulating the high-temperature, high-pressure conditions at depth allows for the study of the target reinjection layer's water storage capacity, assessing the likelihood of blockage and determining the necessary reinjection parameters.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Xiaobaodang Coal Mine is located in the southwest of Shenmu City, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, and is administratively under the jurisdiction of Dabaodang Town, Shenmu City, Yulin City. The Xiaobaodang Coal Mine mining area is 101 km². 2 There are nine mineable coal seams, most of which contain multiple layers of interbedded gangue. Coal seam 2-2 is the main mining seam, with a simple structure and one to two layers of interbedded gangue. Currently, the mine has achieved a smart, efficient, and green mining model with a capacity of 15 million tons per mine face. The strata in the mining area, from oldest to newest, include: the Permian Upper Shihezi Formation and Shiqianfeng Formation; the Triassic Liujiagou Formation, Heshanggou Formation, Ermaying Formation, Yanchang Formation, and Yongping Formation; the Jurassic Fuxian Formation, Yan'an Formation, Zhiluo Formation, and Anding Formation; the Neogene (N) and Quaternary (Q) strata. Currently, the No. 2 coal seam is mainly mined. The average mineralization of the mine drainage is 1600 mg / L. To reduce desalination costs, the mine water is reinjected into the Liujiagou Formation.
[0055] The method includes the following steps.
[0056] Step 1: Preparation for mine water reinjection test.
[0057] Step 101: Core collection and pretreatment of the target layer for mine water reinjection.
[0058] During the drilling phase, core samples are collected from the target layer for mine water reinjection (such as sandstone, argillaceous sandstone, etc.) and processed into cylindrical rock samples with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. Subsequently, the processed rock samples are placed into the water-rock reaction chamber 9, which is fitted with a rubber sleeve 8, and sealed with a sealing cap 2 to ensure the airtightness of the water-rock reaction chamber 9.
[0059] In this specific embodiment, during the drilling phase, sandstone cores of the Liujiagou Formation were collected and processed into cylindrical rock samples with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. After processing, the samples were set aside for later use.
[0060] Step 102: Initialization of high temperature and high pressure environment.
[0061] Step 10201: Initialize confining pressure.
[0062] Start the pressure control oil pump 18 in the high temperature and high pressure control system, add hydraulic oil into the confining chamber 1 through the oil inlet pipe 17, and apply pressure to the rock sample in the water-rock reaction chamber 9 through the hydraulic oil outside the rubber sleeve 8; adjust the confining pressure according to the value displayed on the oil inlet pressure gauge 29, and control the initial value of the confining pressure to 48MPa to simulate the confining pressure of the actual reinjected formation at a depth of 2000m.
[0063] In step 10201, considering pressure transmission loss, the relationship between the displayed value on the inlet pressure gauge 29 and the confining pressure is: σ = η P; where σ represents the confining pressure value borne by the rock sample; η represents the pressure transmission coefficient, which, after multiple tests, is 0.85 for the pressure transmission coefficient of the simulation test device under high temperature and high pressure conditions for deep reinjection of high-salt mine water given in Example 1; P represents the displayed value on the oil inlet pressure gauge.
[0064] In this specific embodiment, the initial confining pressure of 48 MPa corresponds to a reading of 56.48 MPa on the inlet pressure gauge 29, so the control oil pressure is 56.48 MPa.
[0065] Step 10202: Initialize temperature.
[0066] The temperature of the temperature-controlled heating element 24 is adjusted to 65°C by the temperature controller 25 to simulate the temperature of the actual reinjected formation at a depth of 2000m.
[0067] Step 2: Reinjection simulation and blockage determination.
[0068] Step 201, simulation of mine water reinjection under high temperature and high pressure coupling conditions.
[0069] While maintaining the initial confining pressure and initial temperature conditions in step one, open the inlet valve 15 on the inlet pipe 11 and inject mine water from the injection head 3 into the water-rock reaction chamber 9 through the injection pump 12; control the initial reinjection water pressure to 0.5MPa, 1.0MPa and 1.5MPa respectively, and conduct multiple sets of comparative reinjection experiments.
[0070] Step 202: Real-time monitoring and penetration rate calculation.
[0071] In the mine water reinjection simulation in step 201, the pressure difference between the mine water reinjection inlet and outlet is obtained based on the inlet pressure monitored by the inlet pressure gauge 28 and the outlet pressure monitored by the outlet pressure sensor 30. The reinjection flow rate is monitored in real time by the outflow flow sensor 31. Then, using Darcy's law formula, every... Permeability of rock samples is calculated periodically. When the penetration rate If the drop rate is greater than 50%, it is determined that there is a serious blockage inside the rock sample.
[0072] In step 202, Darcy's law formula is: ; In the formula: Indicates the sample Average permeability over a period of time, expressed in m / s; express The reinjection flow rate through the rock sample within a given time, expressed in m³. 3 ; The viscosity coefficient of mine water is expressed in Pa·m. -1 ; This indicates the length of the seepage path of mine water in a rock sample, i.e., the height of the rock sample, in meters (m). This represents the cross-sectional area of the rock sample, in m². 2 ; This indicates the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet water in mine water reinjection, expressed in Pa.
[0073] In this specific embodiment, based on the water-rock interaction between mine water and rock samples, the monitoring results are substituted into Darcy's law formula to calculate the change in permeability. The flow rate and pressure at the inlet and outlet were monitored in real time every 3 hours. Table 1 shows the change in permeability when the initial injection pressure of the mine water was 0.5 MPa.
[0074] Table 1. Changes in flow rate and pressure parameters at the outlet and calculation of permeability (initial injection pressure 0.5 MPa)
[0075] As shown in Table 1, from the 3rd hour to the 18th hour, the pressure difference between the mine water inlet and outlet remained at 0.31 MPa, and the permeability was 1.3 × 10⁻⁶. -6From 18 to 39 hours, the pressure at the mine water inlet and outlet continuously decreased, reaching 0.16 MPa at 39 hours, at which point the permeability was 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ m / s. -6 The permeability was approximately 50% of its original value, indicating that blockage had begun. With the passage of time, at 57 hours, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet was 0.05 MPa, and the permeability stabilized at 8.2 × 10⁻⁶ m / s. -6 m / S.
[0076] To prolong the time before blockage occurs, the pressure of the mine water injection at the inlet is increased. When the pressure at the inlet is 1.0 MPa, observations are continued every 3 hours, and the permeability change is calculated, as shown in Table 2.
[0077] Table 2. Changes in flow rate and pressure parameters at the outlet and calculation of permeability (initial injection pressure 1 MPa)
[0078] As shown in Table 2, from the 3rd hour to the 12th hour, the pressure difference between the mine water inlet and outlet increased from 0.22 MPa to 0.58 MPa, and the permeability increased from 26.8 × 10⁻⁶ MPa. -6 m / S decreased to 10.1 × 10 -6 Although the permeability was 50% of the original, no blockage occurred. Subsequently, as time progressed, at 66 hours, the pressure difference was 0.99 MPa and the permeability was 5.95 × 10⁻⁶ m / s. -6 The permeability m / S is still greater than the minimum permeability of 8.2 × 10⁻⁶ when the injection pressure is 0.5 MPa. -6 m / S. This proves that when the water injection pressure is increased to 1.0 MPa, blockage no longer occurs, and 1.0 MPa can be used as the initial water injection condition.
[0079] Step 3: Post-experiment processing and analysis.
[0080] Step 301, analysis of blockage.
[0081] After determining the blockage in step two, the oil pressure is first slowly released through the oil outlet valve 21, and then the power to the temperature control heating element 24 is turned off to stop heating. After cooling, the sealing cover 2 is opened, the rubber sleeve 8 is removed, and the blocked rock sample is taken out. The spatial distribution of pore blockage and scale inside the rock sample is observed using a CT scanner. After pulverizing a portion of the rock sample, it is analyzed using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument to determine the specific mineral type of the blockage.
[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the initial injection pressure is 0.5 MPa, the permeability is 2.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6The sample showed a porosity of m / s, indicating blockage. Heating was stopped, and the core was removed. CT scans were used to determine the extent of the blockage, as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b). In Figure 2(a), the green shaded areas represent blockages, indicating blockages in the middle and lower parts of the sample. Furthermore, Figure 2(b) shows a per-bedding porosity variation, revealing a significant decrease in porosity at cross-sections of 230 and 1500, further confirming the blockage.
[0083] Mineral composition analysis was performed on the blocked rock sample, and the results are shown in Table 3.
[0084] Table 3 Mineral composition analysis results
[0085] Table 3 shows that the mineral composition analysis results indicate the following: quartz 36%, plagioclase 24.3%, potassium feldspar 5.1%, calcite 1%, siderite 1.8%, clay minerals 28.6%, all of which are present in the rock sample itself; CaSO4 3.6%, which is a blockage substance and represents SO4 in highly mineralized mine water. 2- With Ca in minerals 2+ Precipitated substances formed by combination.
[0086] Step 302, optimize the injection parameters.
[0087] By comprehensively comparing the permeability variation curves and final blockage conditions obtained from experimental groups with different initial reinjection water pressures (0.5MPa, 1.0MPa, 1.5MPa), the influence characteristics of reinjection pressure on the permeability decay rate under simulated high-temperature and high-pressure coupling effects in the formation were analyzed. Based on the influence characteristics, the optimal mine water reinjection pressure parameters that can maximally delay or mitigate blockage were determined.
[0088] In this embodiment, based on experimental data, the permeability changes under high temperature and high pressure coupling as the initial pressure increases, and the optimal initial pressure value is determined to reduce the occurrence of blockage.
[0089] In this embodiment, based on the changes in rock sample permeability under different initial injection pressures, it can be seen that when the initial injection pressure is 1.0 MPa, although the permeability decreases over time, it remains greater than the permeability at the point of blockage, and blockage no longer occurs. Therefore, 1.0 MPa is used as the initial injection parameter.
