Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coal mine water protection and relates to a method for predicting and simulating chemical blockage in deep formations of high-salinity mine water reinjection. Background Technology
[0002] Deep well reinjection technology is widely used as a versatile, safe, economical and efficient method. It involves injecting high-salt mine water into specific deep underground strata that are isolated from shallow aquifers and surface water and have sufficient water storage space, in order to achieve safe disposal, avoid environmental pollution and protect shallow water resources.
[0003] It is worth noting that, unlike shallow formation reinjection, the high-temperature, high-pressure formation environment and high-salt, acidic groundwater environment of deep formations lead to complex chemical blockage problems during reinjection due to water-to-water and water-to-rock reactions. The reinjected water and the original groundwater differ in chemical phase and soluble salt concentration. The migration and transformation of ionic components during reinjection alters the deep formation groundwater environment, influencing temperature, pressure, and SO4 levels. 2- The accumulation of characteristic ions, such as calcium and magnesium in the water, leads to the formation of mineral precipitates due to supersaturation, which alters the permeability of the water-bearing medium, causing pore blockage and affecting reinjection efficiency.
[0004] Previous methods for predicting chemical blockage during reinjection have been mostly applied to areas such as groundwater over-extraction recharge and geothermal tailwater reinjection. However, no prediction method or early warning model has been proposed for deep formation reinjection of high-salt mine water. Furthermore, deep formations present challenges in sampling and monitoring. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a method for predicting and simulating chemical blockage and a risk early warning model for the reinjection of high-salt mine water into deep formations.

[0043] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0044] Example 1: Combination Figure 1 and 2 The method for predicting and simulating chemical blockage in deep formations of high-salinity mine water reinjection in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain reinjection water quality parameters, injection parameters, hydrogeological parameters of the reinjection layer, physicochemical properties, and groundwater quality parameters: Step 1.1, Distributed fiber optic logging to determine the target layer for reinjection: Conduct wellhead installation and data acquisition of DTS fiber optics, analyze the water injection profile, identify the water-absorbing section, and thus determine that the target layer for reinjection is the Triassic Liujiagou Formation.
[0045] Step 1.2: Mine water and reinjection groundwater were collected and subjected to a simplified water quality analysis. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The reinjection water was weakly alkaline, while the deep formation water was weakly acidic, and the water type was Cl-Ca·Na type.

[0053] Step 3: Experimentally calibrate the nonlinear influence coefficient λ(I) of introducing high TDS on the reaction rate of sparingly soluble minerals. Taking gypsum as an example, prepare gradient TDS solutions with concentration gradients of 10000, 30000, 50000, and 70000 mg / L, [Ca²⁺, Cr⁻¹ ... + The concentration of Ca²⁺ was 7000±50 mg / L.

[0054] Fit λ(I)=r 实测 / r 理想 The ionic strength attenuation coefficient α was found to be 0.58. .
[0055] Step 4, construct a numerical model for mine water reinjection: Step 4.1: Conduct a regional hydrogeological survey to determine the distribution of aquifers and impermeable layers above and below the reinjection layer, as well as the structural development conditions and boundary conditions.
[0056] Step 4.2: Establish a conceptual model, determine the depth and horizontal range of the reinjection layer, and mesh it vertically and horizontally (the boundary mesh is set to infinite volume). The study area is vertically divided into 21 layers, with the top layer being a 2.5 m thick impermeable overburden. The aquifer is vertically divided into 20 layers, each 5.65 m thick. Each layer is further divided into 50 m cubes both longitudinally and laterally, resulting in a total of 8400 meshes.
[0057] Step 4.3: Given the boundary conditions, the stable aquitards above and below the reinjection layer are confined aquifers. The upper top plate and lower bottom plate are generalized as aquitard boundaries, and the lateral boundaries are set as Class I boundaries (constant head boundaries). Set parameters such as reinjection location, injection flow rate, injection water temperature, formation temperature and pressure, and porosity.
[0058] Step 4.4: Using the finite volume or finite integral difference numerical method, the direction of groundwater flow, temperature and pressure changes at different locations in the formation, and the mixing ratio of the two types of water during the reinjection process are simulated.
[0059] Step 5: Determine the main blockage mineral components and their locations. Using the calculated mineral reaction rate constant and the nonlinear influence coefficient λ(I) of high TDS on the reaction rate of sparingly soluble minerals, based on the mine water reinjection numerical model, the simulation program is entered to activate the chemical reaction switch to couple the water chemical reaction, thereby determining the main blockage mineral components and their locations. Specific steps include: Step 5.1: Set the hydrochemical environment parameters, including the main ionic components, secondary complexes, mineral components and their kinetic parameters, gas components, adsorption and decay effects, and cation exchange effects of reinjected water and deep groundwater. The kinetic parameters and nonlinear influence coefficients in deep formations and high-salinity environments are obtained from steps 2 and 3.
[0060] Step 5.2: Set up water chemistry calculation and output control, including simulation time, solution and convergence conditions, input and output files, output control, parameter partitioning, and set up monitoring points in the blockage area to simulate water quality changes and ion concentrations at the monitoring points.
[0061] Step 5.3: Calculate the ion activity product (IAP) and solubility product constant (K) of the relevant sparingly soluble minerals based on the ion concentrations at the monitoring points. sp By comparing and identifying the main precipitating minerals causing the blockage, if IAP <K sp If IAP > K, then it is in an unsaturated state and no mineral precipitation occurs; sp If the concentration is too high, the minerals will be in a supersaturated state and tend to precipitate, thus identifying them as the main precipitating minerals. The water quality changes at different monitoring points over three years of reinjection were obtained through simulation. The ion concentrations at monitoring point 2 are shown in Table 5. Calculations revealed that the ion activity product (IAP) of CaSO4·2H2O in the low-flow-rate zone is less than the solubility product constant (K) at 70 °C. sp Therefore, gypsum was determined to be the main precipitating mineral causing the blockage. The specific calculation process is as follows: Table 5 Monitoring point ion concentration
[0062] Substitute the molar concentration of the component into the formula The calculated ionic strength I is 1.70 mol / L. Substituting I into... The activity coefficient Ca² was calculated. + and SO4² - The activity coefficients of all were 0.769, and the Ca² values were then calculated. + and SO4² - The activities were 0.2165 and 0.1093, respectively, and the ion activity product (IAP) of CaSO4 was further calculated to be 0.0237.
[0063] The solubility product constant K of gypsum in deep formations was calculated using the van der Hoff equation. sp Standard solubility product constant at 25℃ 4.93×10 -5 Standard enthalpy change of reaction at 25°C The value is -4.03 kJ / mol, and the absolute temperature T of the deep formation environment is 343.15 K. Substituting these values into the formula: ; The calculated K sp is 3.98×10 -5 , K sp <IAP, so it is determined that gypsum is the main precipitation mineral.
[0064] Step 6, simulate and calculate the porosity change rate. On the basis of determining that gypsum is the secondary mineral causing plugging, simulate the change in its volume fraction and the expansion of the precipitation change area, extract the data of the gypsum precipitation volume fraction at monitoring point 2, i.e., the low-flow velocity area, at different operation times, obtain the distribution of the porosity of the reinjection layer over time, and calculate the porosity change rate γ caused by the precipitation of each mineral according to the operation life of the system and the magnitude of the porosity change i .
[0065] ; In the formula, i is the i-th precipitation mineral; Df i is the magnitude of the porosity change caused by the i-th precipitation mineral; [[ID=2B]] Δt is the operation simulation time (a).
[0066] [[ID=2B]]When the system operates for 5 a, there is no obvious change in the porosity of the low-flow velocity area on the formation profile. When it operates for 10 a, the magnitude of the porosity change is between 2.5 - 2.7, and the porosity change rate is between 0.025 - 0.027 / a.
[0067] Step 7, risk warning. Determine the specified service life of the reinjection well. According to the simulated porosity change rate, propose a warning model based on the risk index CRI: ; In the formula, [[ID=3B]] is the total magnitude of the porosity change caused by each precipitation mineral during the operation time; n is the average effective porosity of the reinjection layer; x is the specified service life of the reinjection well (a).
[0068] If the specified service life of the reinjection well is 3 years, the calculated CRI value is 0.80, and it is determined that there is no risk of chemical precipitation plugging; if the specified service life of the reinjection well is 5 years, the calculated CRI value is [1.33], and it is determined that there is a low risk of chemical precipitation plugging, and measures for removing and preventing plugging of the precipitation plugging minerals need to be taken in the later stage of reinjection. The risk warning ends.
[0069] Specifically, the deviation threshold set in this embodiment is 15%.
[0070] The above-described implementation process is merely an example to clearly illustrate this application and is not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementation methods here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this application.
