  • 摘要:目的】 为揭示注二氧化碳强化煤层气开采(CO2-ECBM)过程中的储层参数演化规律及初始储层压力对煤层气注气开采效果的影响。【方法】 利用多场耦合煤层注气增产物理模拟试验系统,开展了恒定注气压力2.0 MPa和初始储层压力分别为1.5、1.0和0.5 MPa的注CO2驱替CH4试验研究,探讨了CO2驱替CH4过程中储层压力、温度和体积应变等多物理场参数的时空演化规律及其驱替效果,并在分析其作用机制的基础上对CO2驱替CH4过程进行了阶段划分。【结果和结论】 结果表明:(1)在驱替过程中,注气井储层压力高于生产井储层压力,且压差随初始储层压力增大而增大,最大值为0.34 MPa,而储层平衡压力随初始储层压力增大而减小。(2)储层温度在距离注气井越近的位置越早上升,且初始储层压力越小温度上升速率越大,储层平衡温度随初始储层压力增大而减小。(3)储层体积应变演化可划分为缓慢上升、急速上升、趋于平缓3个阶段,储层体积应变随初始储层压力增大而减小。(4)在驱替过程中,初始储层压力从0.5 MPa依次增至1.0、1.5 MPa时,CH4采收率由91.00%依次降至88.48%、86.81%,随初始储层压力增大呈现减小趋势,与之相反,CO2突破时间和CO2封存效率随初始储层压力增大而增大。驱替过程各阶段作用机制不同,阶段1和阶段2的CH4累积体积、CO2封存体积随着初始储层压力的增加而增加,均占整个驱替过程中CH4累积体积、CO2封存体积的80%以上。研究成果为构建煤层气高效开采协同CO2地质封存一体化技术提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Objective This study aims to reveal the evolution laws of reservoir parameters in the process of Carbon dioxide Enhanced Coalbed Methane (CO2-ECBM) and the effect of different initial reservoir pressure on coalbed methane extraction. Methods Using physical simulation test system for multi-field coupled stimulation of coal seam gas injection to conduct constant CO2 displacing CH4 experiments with gas injection pressure of 2.0 MPa and initial reservoir pressures of 1.5, 1.0 and 0.5 MPa. The experiments were conducted to study the spatiotemporal evolution laws of multi-physical field parameters such as reservoir pressure, temperature and volumetric strain and the displacement effect during the CO2 displacing CH4 process. Based on the analysis of the mechanism, the CO2 displacing CH4 process was divided into stages. Results and Conclusions Key findings are as follows: (1) During the displacement process, the reservoir pressure of gas injection well is higher than that of production well at the same moment, and the pressure difference increases with the increase of the initial reservoir pressure, with a maximum value of 0.34 MPa, while the reservoir equilibrium pressure decreases with the increase of the initial reservoir pressure; (2) The reservoir temperature where located closer to the gas injection well rises first, and the reservoir temperature rises faster when the initial reservoir pressure is smaller. The reservoir equilibrium temperature decreases with the increase of initial reservoir pressure; (3) The reservoir volumetric strain can be divided into three stages: slow rise, rapid rise and leveling off. The reservoir volumetric strain decreases with the increase of initial reservoir pressure; (4) During the displacement process, when the initial reservoir pressure increases from 0.5 MPa to 1.0 MPa and then to 1.5 MPa, the CH4 recovery efficiency decreases from 91.00% to 88.48% and then to 86.81%, showing a decreasing trend with the increase of the initial reservoir pressure. On the contrary, the CO2 breakthrough time and CO2 storage efficiency increases with the increase of initial reservoir pressure. In each stage of the displacement process, the mechanism of action is different. The CH4 cumulative volume and CO2 storage volume in stage 1 and stage 2 increase with the increase of initial reservoir pressure and both accounted for more than 80% of the whole displacement process. The research results provide theoretical basis for the development of integrated technology for efficient coalbed methane recovery and CO2 geological storage.
