Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep coal and rock gas technology, specifically relating to a low-pressure gathering and transportation system and design method for deep coal and rock gas. Background Technology

[0002] Deep coal and rock gas is mainly formed into "artificial gas reservoirs" through large-scale hydraulic fracturing. After fracturing, free gas from the flowback holes is rapidly produced under high pressure through these artificial fractures. Relying on the formation's own energy and the gas's ability to carry liquid, fracturing fluid and a small amount of mobile water are carried out, achieving self-flowing production. This gas production then reduces reservoir pressure, promoting the desorption of adsorbed gas. Initially, free gas production accounts for a high proportion, contributing mainly to the first 1-2 years. Later, low-pressure adsorbed gas desorption achieves long-term relatively stable production. The gas-water variation pattern also exhibits a "five-stage" characteristic:

[0003] Phase 1 (≤2 days): Liquid is produced but no gas is produced, with a daily liquid production of 35–150 m³. 3 / d;

[0004] Phase 2 (7-26 days): The amount of refluxed fluid increases rapidly, reaching a maximum of 577-1134 m³. 3 / d; Free gas begins to be produced, ignitable and combustible;

[0005] Phase 3 (7-65 days): Daily liquid production rapidly decreases to 43-222 m³. 3 / d, daily gas production (mainly free gas) rose rapidly (8.4×10 4 ~15.5×10 4 m 3 / d), the casing pressure rises to 3.9~8.5MPa, and production is carried out using a bare casing-oil casing annulus;

[0006] Phase 4 (>240 days), daily fluid production slowly decreases to 10m³. 3 The following production levels remain stable or decline slowly, with free gas and desorbed gas produced together, mainly using oil-jacketed annulus production.

[0007] Phase 5, low-production phase, with daily water and gas production maintained at low levels, employing pressurized air lift / artificial lift.

[0008] Deep coal gas formations are characterized by complex geological conditions, including deep burial, high ground stress, and strong plasticity. Deep coal gas wells are characterized by high initial pressure and rapid pressure decay, leading to: ① Constrained production capacity release from new wells, affecting the overall production capacity of the block; ② Surface processes must adapt to both the high pressure and large water volume in the early stages and the low pressure and small gas volume in the later stages, considering both the initial use of formation pressure for self-flowing production and the later use of surface supporting facilities such as jet pumps; ③ The presence of coal dust in the produced gas from deep coal gas formations necessitates frequent filter element replacements in the gas gathering station's filter separators, making it unsuitable for surface processes; ④ Large pressure fluctuations in deep coal gas formations, coupled with the presence of coal dust in the produced gas, limit the selection of compressors.

[0009] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various features of the invention. The elements and arrangements described in the specific examples below are only for concise expression of the invention and are merely examples, not intended to limit the invention.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] This embodiment provides a low-pressure gathering and transportation system for deep coal and rock gas, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes well site group 10, central well site 20, purification plant 90 and downstream users. Multiple well sites in a well site group 10 transport medium-pressure coal and rock gas to a central well site 20 through medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30, and multiple well sites in a well site group 10 transport low-pressure coal and rock gas to a central well site 20 through low-pressure gas production trunk line 40.

[0052] The central well site 20 delivers coal gas to the purification plant 90 through the gas collection pipeline 80. After the purification plant 90 performs dust removal treatment on the coal gas, it delivers the coal gas to the downstream user through the pipeline.

[0053] It should be noted that the specific pressure values ​​of medium-pressure coal rock gas and low-pressure coal rock gas are not limited by this invention. Any system that meets the requirement that the pressure of the medium-pressure coal rock gas transported by the medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30 is higher than the pressure of the low-pressure coal rock gas transported by the low-pressure gas production trunk line 40 should be within the protection scope of this invention.

[0054] Preferably, the pressure of the medium-pressure coal gas is 2.5 MPa to 3.0 MPa; and the pressure of the low-pressure coal gas is 0.5 MPa to 1.0 MPa.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, there are three central well sites 20 and three well site groups 10. One central well site 20 and one well site group 10 are connected only by one medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30 and one low-pressure gas production trunk line 40. In the structure shown, since multiple well site groups 10 are located in the same direction as the central well site 20, the transportation of medium-pressure coal rock gas and low-pressure coal rock gas can be achieved through one medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30 and one low-pressure gas production trunk line 40.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, multiple well sites in a well site group 10 are located in different directions of the central well site 20. Therefore, multiple well sites located above the central well site 20 are connected to the central well site 20 through a medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30 and a low-pressure gas production trunk line 40. Multiple well sites located below the central well site 20 are connected to the central well site 20 through a medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30 and a low-pressure gas production trunk line 40.

[0057] It should be noted that the number of medium-pressure gas production trunk lines 30 and low-pressure gas production trunk lines 40 mentioned above is only an illustrative example and does not represent a limitation on the present invention; in actual use, the number of medium-pressure gas production trunk lines 30 and low-pressure gas production trunk lines 40 is determined according to the positional relationship between well site group 10 and central well site 20.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple well sites in each well site group 10 are connected to the medium-pressure gas production line 30 and the low-pressure gas production line 40 respectively via gas production pipelines 50. Each gas production pipeline 50 has a pre-installed methanol injection port, which can be selected according to requirements.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the gas production pipeline 50 includes a first conveying section 51, a second conveying section 52, and a third conveying section 53. A well site is connected to the input end of the first conveying section 51. The output end of the first conveying section 51 is connected to the input ends of the second conveying section 52 and the third conveying section 53, respectively. The output end of the second conveying section 52 is connected to the medium-pressure gas production trunk line 30, and the output end of the third conveying section 53 is connected to the low-pressure gas production trunk line 40. Valves 60 are installed on both the second conveying section 52 and the third conveying section 53.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the well site is equipped with a gas production tree 71, a metering separation skid 72, a circulating water tank skid 73, a power pump skid 74, a booster pump module 75, and a water collection pipeline 76. The gas production tree 71 is used to collect coal and rock gas from the well site. A well site includes multiple wells, and all the wells collect gas through the gas production tree 71. The first outlet and the second outlet of the gas production tree 71 are respectively connected to the air inlet and water inlet of the metering separation skid 72. The air outlet of the metering separation skid 72 is connected to the input end of the first conveying section 51. The water outlet of the metering separation skid 72 is connected to the water inlet of the circulating water tank skid 73. The water outlet of the circulating water tank skid 73 is respectively connected to the water inlet of the booster pump module 75 and the water inlet of the power pump skid 74. The water outlet of the booster pump module 75 is connected to the input end of the water collection pipeline 76. The water outlet of the power pump skid 74 is connected to the gas production tree 71.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the metering separation skid 72 includes a wellhead control valve 721, a rotating metering device 722, a single-well metering device 723, and a separator module 724. The first outlet of the gas production tree 71 is connected to the inlet of the wellhead control valve 721; the outlet of the wellhead control valve 721 is connected to the air inlet of the rotating metering device 722, and the air outlet of the rotating metering device 722 is connected to the air inlet of the separator module 724; the second outlet of the gas production tree 71 is connected to the water inlet of the single-well metering device 723, and the water outlet of the single-well metering device 723 is connected to the water inlet of the separator module 724; the air outlet of the separator module 724 is connected to the input of the gas production pipeline 50, and the water outlet of the separator module 724 is connected to the water inlet of the circulating water tank skid 73. The rotating metering device enables metering of gas production from different wells, reducing equipment usage and lowering costs.

[0062] The gas separation module is a gas-liquid separator.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the central well site 20 is equipped with a first pigging valve skid 21, a second pigging valve skid 22, a first emergency shut-off valve 23, a second emergency shut-off valve 24, a medium and low pressure gas gathering and separation skid 25, a pig launching tube skid 26, and a sewage discharge tank 27.

[0064] The outlet of the medium-pressure gas collection trunk line 30 is connected to the inlet of the first pigging valve skid 21, the outlet of the first pigging valve skid 21 is connected to the inlet of the first emergency shut-off valve 23, and the outlet of the first emergency shut-off valve 23 is connected to the inlet of the medium-low pressure gas collection and separation skid 25.

[0065] The outlet of the low-pressure gas collection trunk line 40 is connected to the inlet of the second pigging valve skid 22, the outlet of the second pigging valve skid 22 is connected to the inlet of the second emergency shut-off valve 24, and the outlet of the second emergency shut-off valve 24 is connected to the inlet of the medium and low pressure gas collection and separation skid 25.

[0066] The water outlet of the medium-low pressure gas collection and separation skid 25 is connected to the sewage tank 27, the air outlet of the medium-low pressure gas collection and separation skid 25 is connected to the air inlet of the ball launcher skid 26, and the air outlet of the ball launcher skid 26 is connected to the gas collection pipe 80.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the central well site 20 is also equipped with a compressor skid 28. The gas outlet of the medium and low pressure gas gathering and separation skid 25 includes a medium pressure coal and rock gas outlet and a low pressure coal and rock gas outlet. The medium pressure coal and rock gas outlet is connected to the gas inlet of the launch tube skid 26, the low pressure coal and rock gas outlet is connected to the gas inlet of the compressor skid 28, and the gas outlet of the compressor skid 28 is connected to the gas inlet of the launch tube skid 26.

[0068] In some embodiments, the purification plant 90 further separates, pressurizes, decarbonizes, and dehydrates the coal gas before exporting it.

[0069] The gas extraction process of the gathering and transportation system of the present invention is as follows:

[0070] The self-flowing stage (well site venting and testing stage): Because the gas-liquid content in the well is high at this time, it can produce gas naturally under formation pressure; at this time, the well site is equipped with a gas production tree 71, a desander, an emergency shut-off valve 60, a choke manifold, a single-well metering device 723, a production separator, and a water tank and water pump for gas production; specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the gas and water produced by the gas production tree 71 are both extracted from the first outlet of the gas production tree 71. The extracted gas and water pass through the emergency shut-off valve 60 (regulation) and enter the production separator after passing through the single well. The separated extracted gas passes through the gas production pipe to be transported to the central well site 20, and the separated water enters the water collection pipeline 76 through the water pump (including pressure reducing bypass) and is transported to the central well site 20.

[0071] Jet pump stage (well site production stage): Since there is no formation pressure for self-flowing production at this time, water needs to be injected for production; therefore, each well site group 10 is equipped with a gas production tree 71, a metering and separation skid 72, a circulating water tank skid 73, a power pump skid 74, a lift pump module 75, and a water collection pipeline 76. The produced gas is extracted from the first outlet of the gas production tree 71, and the produced water is extracted from the second outlet of the gas production tree 71. The produced gas enters the gas-water separator after passing through the rotating metering device 722, and the produced water enters the gas-water separator after passing through the single-well metering device 723. The separated coal and rock gas is transported to the central well site 20 through the gas production pipeline 50, and the separated water enters the circulating water tank skid 73. The water then enters the water collection pipeline 76 through the lift pump module 75 (including pressure reduction bypass) and is transported to the central well site 20. It then returns to the gas production tree 71 through the power pump skid and is injected into the bottom of the well through the gas production tree 71.

[0072] The gas extraction process rationally utilizes wellhead back pressure and elevation difference to extract water, and has developed a combined gravity pipeline transportation and booster pump transportation process system, which greatly reduces energy consumption.

[0073] This embodiment also provides a design method for a low-pressure gathering and transportation system for deep coal and rock gas, used to arrange the gathering and transportation system as described above. The method includes the following steps:

[0074] The pressure gradient of the medium-low pressure gathering and transportation system is obtained from the dynamic simulation model of the large pipeline network and the medium-low pressure gathering and transportation system. The gas gathering and transportation volume in different areas is adjusted according to the pressure gradient. The pipeline network of the large pipeline network and the medium-low pressure gathering and transportation system is obtained by determining the number and connection relationship of the pressure-producing gas trunk line, the low-pressure gas producing trunk line 40, the central well site 20 and the well site group 10.

[0075] The number of well sites in each well site group (10) is determined based on the gas gathering and transmission volume in different regions.

[0076] Dynamic calculations are performed on each well site group 10 to obtain the pressure and production changes, increased production revenue, and production energy consumption of each well site, thereby determining the optimal location of the central well site 20. Since each well site group 10 has multiple well sites, and multiple well sites need to supply coal and rock gas to a central well site 20, it is necessary to determine the location of the central well site 20 to reduce costs.

[0077] It also includes the following steps: obtaining the outlet pressure of the central well site 20 and the well site outlet pressure based on the inlet pressure of the purification plant 90; and selecting equipment based on the outlet pressure of the central well site 20 and the well site outlet pressure.

[0078] Specifically, using the Pipes IM software, based on the determined inlet pressure of the purification plant (90) and the gas volume of each central well site (20), the outlet pressure of each central well site (20) is obtained, and then the inlet pressure of each central well site (20) is obtained. Based on the determined inlet pressure of each central well site (20) and the gas volume of each well site, the outlet pressure of each well site is obtained.

[0079] The design of the low- and medium-pressure gas gathering and separation skid 25, compressor skid 28, and valve 60 ball skid of the central well site 20 is based on the obtained outlet pressure of the well site; simultaneously, the design of the metering and separation skid 72 of the gas-liquid mixing suction skid is based on the obtained outlet pressure of the well site. Specifically: to reduce equipment costs, the inlet pressure of the purification plant 90 is 2MPa. The gathering and transportation system is constructed using Pipesim software. Based on the gathering and transportation system, the inlet pressure of the purification plant 90 (2MPa), and other control parameters, the outlet pressure of the central well site 20 is obtained as 2.5MPa. The outlet pressure of the well site includes low-pressure outlet pressure and medium-pressure outlet pressure.
