Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coalbed methane exploration and development, specifically relating to a method for predicting fluid migration behavior during CO2 injection mining of coal seams containing natural fractures. Background Technology
[0002] Enhanced Coal Bed Methane Recovery (CO2-ECBM) technology is a key technological approach that balances efficient coalbed methane development with carbon emission reduction. Its core logic involves injecting carbon dioxide into the coal seam, utilizing its stronger adsorption affinity for the coal matrix to displace methane adsorbed on the coal surface, thereby achieving efficient coalbed methane extraction. Compared to traditional single-extraction coalbed methane extraction methods, this technology not only significantly improves the ultimate recovery rate of coalbed methane but also stably sequesters the injected carbon dioxide within the coal seam, creating a long-term carbon sequestration effect. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and facilitates the large-scale development of low-carbon clean energy, making it an important tool for synergistically promoting energy utilization and environmental protection. Simultaneously, the adsorption and diffusion behavior of CO2 within the coal seam, as well as the competitive adsorption process with methane, provides a new research platform for elucidating the gas migration mechanisms and adsorption characteristics of coal reservoirs. Therefore, in-depth research on the multi-field coupling mechanism and dynamic evolution law in CO2-enhanced coalbed methane extraction has important theoretical guidance and engineering practical value for improving the utilization efficiency of coalbed methane resources and promoting the recycling of carbon resources.
[0003] Current mainstream research on CO2-displaced coalbed methane (CO2-ECBM) still assumes homogeneous coal seams, focusing on the replacement capacity of CO2 and CH4 and gas production performance. However, this premise deviates significantly from the actual geological situation—natural fractures are widely developed in coal seams but have long been overlooked. Geological exploration has confirmed that brittle components such as vitrinite and soluble minerals such as calcite in coal rock are prone to induce the formation of natural fractures during geological evolution, and these fractures are often interconnected to form a continuous network. The permeability of these natural fractures is 2 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than that of the coal matrix (typically 0.01~1 mD), which completely changes the gas transport pattern within the coal seam: the "uniform diffusion" under the original homogeneous assumption is transformed into "rapid conduction along the dominant path" along fracture channels. This change not only exacerbates the heterogeneity of CO2-CH4 two-phase transport but also makes the adsorption-desorption kinetics more complex. The traditional Darcy's law can no longer accurately describe this type of fluid seepage-transport behavior, necessitating the construction of a flow model suitable for describing the fluid transport velocity within fractures. Ignoring the influence of natural fractures will lead to biased judgments on gas migration behavior, making it difficult to reflect the true displacement mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically incorporate the flow process of natural fractures into the CO2-CH4 displacement model to reveal the migration characteristics of single-phase gas in fractured coal seams, thereby improving the accuracy of fluid migration behavior prediction during CO2 injection mining of coal seams with natural fractures. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for predicting fluid migration behavior during CO2 injection mining of coal seams with natural fractures, so as to achieve accurate prediction of the fluid migration behavior of CH4 and CO2 in coal seams under CO2 injection mining conditions, thereby clarifying the influence of natural fracture development characteristics on the spatiotemporal evolution of CH4 and CO2 concentrations, and providing theoretical and technical support for CO2-ECBM engineering exploration and development of coal seams with natural fractures.

[0090] S2.2.2: Add the discrete fracture network model constructed in step S2.2.1 to the initial reservoir model constructed in step S2.1 to obtain a coalbed methane reservoir formation model containing natural fractures.
[0091] S2.3: The geological model of coalbed methane reservoirs containing natural fractures is divided using a free triangular unstructured grid. The grid is densified in areas with dense natural fractures and conventional grid is used in coal matrix areas. The size of the largest grid cell is controlled to be three times the size of the smallest grid cell to ensure that the grid cells accurately reflect the reservoir differences in different spatial locations.
[0092] S2.4: Based on the geological conditions of the target area of CO2-ECBM and the field conditions, set the initial conditions for the geological model of coalbed methane reservoirs with natural fractures. The initial conditions include the initial coalbed methane reservoir pressure, the initial coalbed methane reservoir temperature, the initial gas phase saturation, and the initial methane concentration and carbon dioxide concentration.
[0093] S2.5: Based on the geological conditions of the target area of CO2-ECBM and the field conditions, set boundary conditions for the geological model of coalbed methane reservoirs with natural fractures. The boundary conditions include the upper boundary pressure, lower boundary pressure, methane production well pressure, carbon dioxide injection well pressure, and well boundary gas concentration of methane production well and carbon dioxide injection well.
[0094] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the simulated domain is 150m long, 150m wide, and 5m high. The coal matrix has a porosity of 0.037, a permeability of 5mD, and a reservoir density of 1370kg / m³. 3 The porosity of the natural fracture is 0.018, the permeability is 500 mD, and the linear density is 0.3 m³. -1 Length 1-8m, orientation 50°-80°, orifice diameter 0.01-0.25m. Initial conditions: initial pressure 5 MPa, initial temperature 300 K. Lower boundary pressure 5 MPa, upper boundary pressure 5 MPa. Methane production well pressure 0.5 MPa, carbon dioxide injection well pressure 8 MPa. Initial methane concentration 18.971 kg / m³. 3 The concentration of methane at the perimeter is 0 kg / m³. 3 The initial carbon dioxide concentration was 0 kg / m³. 3 The carbon dioxide concentration at the four boundaries is 0 kg / m³. 3 .
[0095] S3. The modified mass conservation equation constructed in step S1 is applied to the geological model of coalbed methane reservoir after grid partitioning, initial conditions and boundary conditions are set in step S2. The spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of CH4 and CO2 concentrations in each grid cell of the geological model are solved to obtain their distribution in time and space. This enables effective prediction of fluid migration behavior during the extraction of CH4 and CO2 from coal seams with natural fractures.
[0096] Specifically, the methane and carbon dioxide mass conservation equations corrected in step S1 are substituted into the geological model of the coalbed methane reservoir with natural fractures obtained in step S2 to solve for the mass fractions of methane and carbon dioxide in each grid cell of the coalbed methane reservoir geological model. Then, combined with the gas phase density (calculated from the equation of state), the molar concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide in each grid cell are further derived. This concentration distribution directly reflects the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the gas within the reservoir, providing fundamental data for analyzing migration patterns and adsorption-desorption kinetics.
[0097] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the calculated methane concentration evolution over 20 years with and without natural fractures. It compares the spatiotemporal evolution of methane molar concentration under CO2 displacement in coal seams with and without natural fractures. Without natural fractures, methane desorption and migration rates are extremely slow, with concentrations at low levels and small diffusion ranges at all time points. With natural fractures, methane migrates rapidly along the dominant fracture pathways, with local increases starting from 100–300 days, exhibiting a gradient distribution across the entire reservoir by 3000 days, and reaching 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ by 7200 days. 3 mol / m 3 The saturated state visually demonstrates the significant promoting effect of natural fissures on methane desorption and migration. For example... Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the evolution of carbon dioxide concentration in coal seams with and without natural fractures over a 20-year period. It compares the spatiotemporal evolution of CO2 concentration in coal seams with and without natural fractures, echoing the evolution of methane. Without natural fractures, CO2 diffusion is slow, resulting in limited concentration increases within the reservoir. With natural fractures, CO2 rapidly infiltrates and fills the reservoir along the fractures, with concentration coverage and values at each time point significantly higher than in the fracture-free group. This clearly verifies that natural fractures are the dominant pathway for CO2 transport in coal seams, and also confirms the rationality and accuracy of the model in this invention in considering natural fractures.
